Well I changed my mind about that idea since no one wants them in anyway. I do not own a thing.
At the institute around bed time for everyone. Everyone was getting ready for bed. Rogue was on the phone talking to someone about a book in her hand. "Yeah, ah know. Thanks for lending it to me." She flipped through the pages while Kitty walked next to her bed and sat down. "Especially at the end where he turned into a werewolf, and nobody knew it." Rogue walked over to her bed while Kitty grabbed her stuffed dinosaur and rubbed it against her cheek. "Well, ah gotta go. Ah got three finals tomorrow." Kitty got under her covers while Rogue got on her bed. "Talk to you later, bye." She hangs up, turns off the lamp next to her bed, and goes to sleep after putting the covers over herself.
Later on in the night Rogue started to move around. In her dream a wolf was howling. A castle came into view with green sparks coming out of a room at the top of the castle tower. The next thing shown was a lab with the sparks going around everywhere. "Monster, what have you done to him?" A voice said.
Rogue started to whimper more. "N-N-No!"
A woman in a robe started to run down the hall of the castle holding a baby in a blanket. The baby kept on crying while the woman was running for her life. She looked behind herself then kept on running. "Come back at once!" A guy yelled to her. She kept on running after she got out of the castle. She slipped in the snow a little but kept on running even when wolves started to chase after her. A guy in a cape with ahhelmet on was floating after her. The woman stopped running and looked at her surroundings and saw more wolves coming near her and the baby. She ran onto a bridge and got attacked by the wolves. The wolves tried to bite her while the guy watched from a close distance. She put the baby over her head so the wolves wouldn;t bite it, but she dropped it over the bridge.
"NO!" The woman yelled as the baby fell into the water bellow her. Rogue yelled as she woke up from her dream.
Kitty was startled by Rogue's sudden outburst that she went right to her side. Danny opened the door and came rushing up to her with the rest right behind him. "Rogue, are you alright? What Happened?" Scott asked.
"Ah-Ah don't know. Ah was dreaming..." She took a breath. "Some kind of awful nightmare... with these...these images." Danny transformed and sat down next to her. He put an arm around her as she put her head on his shoulder. "It's horrible."
"Yeah, her shrieking totally creaped me out. I just about phased through the bed." Kitty said trying to comfort Rogue as well.
"Whoa. Finals must be getting to you." Scott said coming closer.
"I don't think it's the finals, Scott." Danny said to him.
Rogue lifted her head off of Danny's shoulder and nodded in agreement. "Danny's right. It wasn't the first time it happened. Ah had this dream before. It started when ah moved to the institute." She looked at her friends with worry in her eyes.
Evan and Kurt came into the room with Evan yawning. "What's going on, man?" Evan asked. "Are you guys ok?"
"Rogue's having creepy nightmares." Kitty told them.
"Vhat about?" Kurt asked walking a little closer.
"Ah'm not sure. There's, uh...a castle and wolves." Rogue put her hand on her head. Danny kept his arm around her and tried to comfort her. "Oh, the poor baby." Rogue started to cry. "Ah really didn't get to see his face, but ah seem to know...to know him somehow." Rogue turns her head to Kurt with Jean following her gaze.
"Vat? Vy are you looking at me like dat?" Kurt asked. "Vat's vrong?"
"It was you." Rogue said pointing at him. Danny looked at Kurt then back at Rogue.
"Vhat vas me?" Kurt asked getting closer confused about what she was talking about.
Rogue turned her head away from Kurt with a hand over her face. "Somehow...Ah just know." She turned to Kurt and exclaimed, "It was you, Kurt!"
Kurt backed up a bit. "Vat are you talking about?" Danny removed his arm from around her shoulders and looked at her very sad.
"In the dream...there was a baby crying. Cry-someone-a woman-ah think, ah really didn't get to see her face, was running, and she...the baby was dropped into the river." Rogue covered her eyes and started to tear up.
"And you dink dat da baby was me?" Kurt asked pointing to himself.
Rogue removed her hands from her face. "Why am ah having this dream?"
Danny put his hands on her shoulders and said, "Rogue, I think that we should talk to the Professor about this."
"Let's do it in the morning. It's getting pretty late." Jean said so it would be easier for everyone.
'That's all right, Jean. This is important. Rogue and Kurt, please come to the library with Jean and Danny, and the rest of you try and get some sleep.' Professor Xavier told them telepathicly. Danny got up off the bed with Rogue and held her close while they walked out of the room with everyone minus Kitty who went back to bed. 'In case you've forgotten, you all have finals tomorrow.'
Evan grunted, "There is keeping nothing from that dude is there?" Evan walked off with Scott right behind him.
A couple minutes later the four were in the meeting room with the professor. Kurt sat down in one of the chairs while the girls sat down on the couch. Danny floated himself into the air and crossed his legs and acted like he was sitting down in midair. Charles turned to Kurt and asked, "Now Kurt what do you know from what your 'parents' told you?"
Kurt put his elbows on his legs and looked down. "I always known that my parents adopted me, but they never said anything about me being fished out of a river."
"Don't worry Kurt. We'll try to sort this out." Charles turned his attention to Rogue. "Rogue, since this was your dream, I think I should start with you. Would you mind sitting here, please?" He asked pointing to the empty chair near him. Rogue got up and walked over to the chair. "Now relax," he rolled himself closer to her to read her mind, "just try to think of the dream."
Rogue shut her eyes then opened them and asked, "You sure this isn't gonna hurt?"
"Yes, now please, just concentrate." Charles and Rogue close their eyes with the other three watching them. They watched the same thing happen again but got a better view of who the man and the woman were, but the dream continued on with the baby crying while floating down the river. A man saw the baby and picked it up out of the river with the woman running up to him. The woman who accidentally dropped him watched from behind a rock and sighed in happiness. She put a hood over her head and left the area. Rogue and Charles open their eyes after seeing everything. Danny was stuck in a trance by seeing that.
"Vell, did you see anding else?" Kurt asked getting up from the seat.
Charles leaned back and put his right hand on his forehead. "Apparently Rogue, your dream isn't a dream." He moved his hand back down. "It's a repressed memory, not just your imagination."
Krt walked up to them and asked, "But if I'm in it, vhy is she having da dream?" He turned his gaze to Rogue. He turned his gaze back to the professor. "Shouldn't have it been mine?"
"Yeah, Professor what's going on?" Rogue asked.
"Well, I'm not quite certain. You must have absorbed the memories of someone who, indeed, knows about Kurt's past." Charles told her.
"She touched me!" Kurt said putting his hands near his chest. "Back vhen we first met, remember, Rogue? Maybe you got those memories from me?" Rogue turned to him then at Danny.
"You were just an infant in the dream. It could be possible that you have memories that far back." Charles said a little curious.
"Probe my mind now professor! To find out more, maybe I have more memories about vat happened later." Kurt said getting excited to learn about his past.
"Yes, that might help, but-but not tonight. We've had enough excitement, I think, for now."
"Don't be too sure." Jean said making everyone turn their attention to her waving her hand in front of Danny's face. "He's in a trance, and I can't get him out of it. You mind trying something guys?"
"How is he in a trance?" Kurt asked walking towards them.
"I don't know. He was just floating here then he gasped when the professor started to look at the memory that was inside Rogue's mind." Jean crossed her arms and looked at Rogue. "You got any ideas?"
Rogue shrugged. "Ah have one, but ah don't know if it will get him out of that trance." Rogue kissed him right on the mouth and moved back.
Danny blinked then looked at Rogue with a smile upon his face. "I needed that." He said quietly.
"Danny, what made you space out like that?" The Professor asked curiously.
"To be honest I don't know. One second you guys close your eyes the next second I'm seeing the memory that you guys were looking at." Danny looked at Kurt who was raising an eyebrow. "I missed most of the conversation, didn't I?"
"Yeah, Jean said you were in a trance." Rogue said putting her hands on her hips.
"It seems Danny has gotten telepathy. If this keeps up Danny might get new powers really quick." Charles said observing.
"I'm just glad he can't teleport." Kurt said smiling.
"Yeah, it's not like Danny can teleport to anywhere he wants." Jean said backing Kurt up.
Danny nodded, "Good to know. I'm just not ready to have more new powers." Danny looked at Rogue and smiled. "I better get to bed."
Danny stopped floating and put his feet on the ground. He walked off hearing. "We'll look at your mind tomorrow Kurt after school."
"Yes professor." Kurt said in disappointment.
The next day at school Professor Xavier was in the principal's office. "You've been having a terrible burden for many years, Mystique." He told her. The principal just kept her eye on him while sitting in her chair. "Rogue's recent contact with you seems to have given her some of your darker memories...nightmares about a very unfortunant incident involving an infant."
"You're fishing. You know nothing." Darkholme said to him turning her chair.
"I know about your relationship with the boy, Mystique. What I don't know is what Magneto did to him. Why did you run that night?"
"Dear, dear Charles," Darkholme got out of her chair and walked from behind her desk, "how incredibly frustrating for you to realize that amazing mind of yours knows so very little, really." She grabbed a book off her book shelf.
Charles closed his eyes and asked, "What were you two up to in that dreary castle? Was it worth the loss of your son?" Mystique's eyes widen in shock. The memory replayed itself in both of their heads.
She dropped the book and angrily said, "Get out! Get out now!" She pointed toward the door.
Charles turned his wheel chair around and stopped right before reaching the door. "And just incase you're curious, he turned out to be a very fine lad." He left the room right before Mystique sighed in sadness.
The bell rang a little later for the classes to be dismissed. Kurt handed in his final to his teacher and left the room. "Hey, Kurt, wait up!" Rogue said to him. Kurt turned around and saw her and Danny walking up to him. "What's the rush?" She asked when they caught up to him.
"You know. Prof said ve'd look for more answers after school." Kurt reminded her.
"You want to rush this?" Danny asked him. "I mean anything can happen Kurt."
"He's right, Kurt. Are you sure you want to know?" Rogue asked a little sad.
They stopped for Kurt to get into his locker. "Vat? Of course I want to know. Haven't you? I mean, haven't you ever wondered who your real parents were?" Kurt looked at them then saw Danny cross his arms and huffed. "Oh yeah, I forgot about you, Danny. You're not like us."
"I know, Kurt. I just don't like being reminded about that incident." Danny leaned against the locker. "Kurt, I have to be honest about what you said. I can't disagree with you, and Rogue probably agrees."
"Ah guess so, but Irene was always a good mom to me." Rogue said. She crosed her arms and said, "Ah mean, sometimes she could be real strict and all, but..."
Kurt shut his locker and interrupted her. "My adopted parents were great, too, but I always felt dat dey were keeping someding from me." He came closer to them and continued. "Venever da subject from vere I came from came up, dey were always vague." The trio started to walk down the hallway again. "Dey never mentioned anyding like da stuff in your dream."
Rogue crossed her arms and said, "Maybe they didn't know, or..."
"Maybe they were trying to protect you." Danny finished for her. They stopped walking and looked at Kurt and saw him a little behind.
"How, by hiding my own past from me?" Kurt asked them getting a little upset.
"Kurt..." Rogue started but was stopped by Kurt.
Jean and Scott saw the trio and walked towards them. "Listen, maybe you guys can live widout knowing, but I've got to know da trud about my life." Kurt pressed a button on his image induser and turned himself back to his original form. "I'm out of here!" Kurt teleported out of the hallway.
Scott and Jean caught up with the guys and were a little confused. "Man! What was that about?" Scott asked Rogue and Danny.
"He's still really worked up about last night." Rogue told them.
"He'll be fine. Let's just hope that he doesn't get worked up too much." Danny said to them.
"Well, we better go find him.' Scott said leading the group down the hall.
Danny stopped and looked behind himself at a teen who was walking a different way from them. "I'll be back you guys. I left something at my locker." The others nodded and left Danny behind.
Danny followed the kid who transformed into Principal Darkholme. She went into her office and typed something on a piece of paper. She put it into an envelope and walked out of her office. Danny turned himself invisible and watched her give the envelope to Pietro near the bleachers outside the school. "Are you sure about this? I mean, I've seen the defenses they've gotten around that place." Pietro put the envelope underneath his arm.
"Don't worry. You're fast enough. You should be able to get in and out of there undetected." She said with her arms crossed.
"Why is it so important?" Pietro asked pointing at the folder. "I mean, what are you telling that blue-furred creep?"
"Never mind. That's none of your business. Just deliver it." She demanded. Pietro ran off not giving any other comments to her about the envelope.
Danny chuckled and said, "You sure frightened him a bit, Mystique."
She turned her head at Danny when he made himself visible. "Why were you spying on me?" She asked turning herself to her normal form.
"I have my reasons li you have your's. I just want to know what was in that envelope." He walked closer to her.
"None of your concern, now leave me alone." She walked away until she heard Danny ask what surprised her the most.
"He's your son, isn't he?"
She turned around and looked at him. She sighed, "Just make me a promise not to interfear when I'm talking with him." She walked away turning back into the principal.
"You have my word." Danny transformed into his ghost form and flew back to the institute.
Meanwhile at the institute, Charles was at the navigational room talking with Logan. He looked at the screen and saw Logan land the Blackbird on an island that wasn't marked on the map. "Looks like this is the place, Charles." Logan told the Professor. "I'll set her down in the woods nearby and go in on foot."
"Good. Keep me informed." Charles told him.
"Right, Logan out."
Charles heard a noise and closed his eyes to figure out what it was. He opened his eyes and though, 'Quicksilver.'
Pietro ran over the gate and through the institute stopping at Kurt's door. He knocked on Kurt's door and ran off. Kurt was hanging upside down from the chandelier in his room and heard the knock. He let go of the chandelier and telported out into the hallway. He looked around and saw nothing. He raised an eyebrow and teleported back into his room to find an orange envelope on the ground. He picked up the envelope and pulled out the small note in it. "If you want to know the truth, come to the new mall construction site at sundown. Come alone." Kurt looked outside then walked over to his mirror stand. He put the envelope and note in the drawer then looked outside at the sun. "Why not!" Kurt teleported out of the room right when Scott knocked on the door.
"Yo, Kurt! Professor X says he might have some info...Kurt?" Scott asked to see if Kurt was around.
Pietro looked around and pulled out his phone. He looked at his surroundings then called someone. "Hey Magneto, I have some news that you might want to know. Mystique plans on meeting the blue-furred creep tonight." He listened to the other end and said, "That's what I said. She's going to meet that little blue creep tonight, and that Wolverine guy and the Blackbird were gone just like you said."
"Hm, as I feared. Good work Pietro. Now I need you to do something further for me. Get the others and intercept Nightcrawler before he gets to Mystique. She must not tell him what he wants to know." Magneto said. He looked at the screen and saw Logan land the Blackbird on the island. "I have to take care of a visitor."
Danny stayed invisible and heard the entire conversation between Magneto and Pietro. Danny watched Pietro run off to the others. "Well Nightcrawler is going to be watched by someone from his team, and that someone is me." He flew off to the construction site hoping Kurt hasn't gotten into trouble yet.
At the institute Scott was walking down the hall and saw Jean walking by. "Jean!" He called. "Kurt's taken off." He walks up to her and grabs her arm. "The Professor wants us to check out his room." They walk into Kurt's room and start searching.
"So what are we looking for?" She asked him.
"I'm not sure." He walked to the window. "Professor X seems to think that he had a visit from Pietro this afternoon."
"Quicksilver?" Jean asked surprised. "Here? But how?" She looked at Scott who was at Kurt's tape/cd stereo player.
"Hey, you know how fast that dude moves, and I guess that he'd get past the mansion security no problem." Scott put the tape back in the player.
Jean went over to the mirror stand and opened the drawer. She picked up the note and read it. "Oh no." She turned to Scott and said, "Scott look at this."
Scott grabbed the note from Jean and read it. "Get the others. We gotta move." They left the room in a hurry and told Kitty, Rogue, and Evan. "Where's Danny?"
"He never showed up." Evan said to Scott.
"Great. Rogue, call Danny and tell him to meet us at the mall construction site. We don't have much time." The team got suited up and got into the X-van.
Rogue dialed Danny's number and waited for him to pick up. "Hello." Danny said on the other end.
"Danny, where are you?" Rogue asked him as Scott started the van.
"I'm flying around. Why?"
"Kurt's heading to the mall construction site. You have to get there and stop him."
"I'm on my way." Danny shut his phone and looked at Kurt who teleported into the construction site. "Be careful Kurt."
Kurt walked a little bit then called out, "Ok, so I'm here."
"Hello Kurt." A voice said.
"You!" Kurt turned himself to the cloaked figure. "You're the one from Rogue's dream." He walked closer to her. "Who are you? Why don't you show yourself?"
"You already know me..." She removed the hood and revealed herself as Mystique, "son."
"No!" Kurt stepped back in shock. "No, it's impossible!" HE stepped back a little more then leaned forward and asked, "What happened to me? Why didn't you..."
They heard a growl and turned their attention to Blob landing on the ground between Mystique and Kurt. "Get out!" She demanded. Blob pushed her hand away from him and turned his attention to Kurt.
Toad landed on the other side of Kurt while Avalanche stepped onto the third side. Pietro ran up and put his elbow on Blob. "Whoa, far as you go, fur boy. This conversation's over."
"Get out of here, all of you!" Mystique demanded at her team.
"No can do, boss lady. We got higher orders." Pietro snapped his fingers. Toad shot his tongue at Nightcrawler who teleported right when the tongue came out.
Kurt landed on the crane and looked down at the Brotherhood. "I got him." Toad said when his tongue came back into his mouth. Kurt teleported off the crane and landed on one of the beams.
"What type of game is this Mystique?" Kurt asked her.
Danny put a hand on Kurt's shoulder. "It's not a game, Kurt. These guys weren't sent here by your mom."
"Who sent them then?" The crane hit the beam sending Kurt and Danny down.
"We'll worry about that later." Danny was about to grab Kurt when Kurt hit a sand dune on the ground.
"Huh? That was easy to stop him." Pietro said as he, Lance,a dn Fred surrounded Kurt.
"Snap." Danny said firing a blast at Toad making fly off the crane and into a beam.
"Ow, I'm ok." Toad said waving his hand. "I think." Toad fell downa dn hit the ground hard.
"Wrong! It just got hard!" Scott said unaware of what happened to Toad.
"Let's get 'em!" Lance said running to the X-men.
Blob ran at Kitty and was about to grab her when he ran right through her into a cement mixer. Scott turned on the mixer and listened to Blob complain. "Hey! Get me out of this thing!"
Jean and Kitty walked over to Kurt. Jean started to pick up Kurt with her mind when Lance walked up to them pounding the ground. He made the ground shake a bit and her the girls whimper a bit. "Time to rock and roll!" He said smiling at them.
"Rock and roll this creep." Rogue said jumping on him then drained his powers.
Pietro started to run around Scott. Scott started to fire his lasers at him missing every time. "Come on, shades." Scott fires and misses. "You can't hit me!" Piwetro runs off again making Scott miss him. "You gotta do better than that." He ran at Scott and punched him in the face. "I could use a little help here guys."
"On it." Danny said turning himself invisible. Danny put his foot out and made Pietro trip over it. Scott blasted Pietro making him fly into a sand dune.
"Rogue," Jean said making Rogue turn to her, "over there." She pointed to Mystique running away.
"Ah see her!" Rogue caught up to her and stopped in front of Mystique. "Going somewhere?" She asked Mystique. "Me and Kurt have a few questions that we need you to answer."
Mystique removed her hood. "I'm afraid it's too late for answers. Far too late."
Mystique walked away from her. "Not so fast." Rogue's eyes rolled back a bit then she stomped on the ground making it rumble. Mystique was a little surprised by the move that she transformed into a crow and flew off.
Danny walked up to Rogue and sighed, "You had a few questions to ask, huh?"
"Yeah, ah did. She said it was too late. Is it really?" Rogue asked him concerned.
Danny looked at her then gave her a hug. "Some things in life will always be a mystery, Rogue. One thing Kurt knows now is that they are related, but he doesn't know how or why he ended up like the way he is now. I just hoope that he doesn't take it too likely."
Rogue kissed his cheek. "You know what to say when it comes the time huh?" Danny blushed and rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Ya don't have to answer that."
Danny sighed in relief and walked back with her to the X-van. "She got away?" Evan asked them.
"Yeah, she got away." Danny said while Rogue got into the X-van with the others. "I'll see you guys back at the institute."
The next day Scott, Jean, Danny, Logan and Charles were in the library talking about the incident. "So the dreams Rogue was having were really Mystique's." Logan said trying to make sure that he heard it right.
"I'm afraid so. Rogue must have picked them up when she touched her. Mystique may be very well the boy's mother, but we may never know the truth now." The professor said to them. "There was nothing left of the lab?
"Nothing. Whoever was running it didn't want us finding anything, but before it went kablooey, it looked like the kind of place where Dr. Frankenstein might've been comfortable with." Logan said with his arms crossed.
Danny got up and wakjed to the door. "I would like to stay and brief with you guys about Kurt, but I don't feel comfortable doing it behind his back."
"Do you think it's easy for us?" Scott asked him.
"No, but I only heard a couple things when I was there. The thing that I confirmed from the questions that we all have is that they are related as mother and son. That's all I know and will keep it at that. If we interfere, bad things might happen."
The professor nodded in agreement. "He's right, but I never thought he would have taken it this far, and poor Kurt."
Jean and Scott looked at each other as Wolverine got up off the couch. Logan looks down the entire time while walking away from the others. Jean shrugs making Scott and Danny turn their attention to the Professor. "So when are you going to tell Kurt about this?" Scott asked him.
"I'm not sp sure the Oaf needs to know." Logan said turning his head to the group. "At least not yet." He turned his head back around. "Some of the stuff can be pretty damaging." The group went into sadness for Kurt. Jean put her legs up to her chest and put her arms around her legs. Danny walked through the doors and left them alone.
Kurt and Rogue were on the balcony from Kurt's room. "I-I still can't believe it. Mystique is my mother?" Kurt asked out loud mainly to Rogue.
Rogue turned her head to him. "Listen, Kurt, who really knows? Ah mean, that's one seriously disturbed lady. Maybe she's just messing with ya."
Kurt looked at her then back out at the view. "I guess, but there is a certain resemblance."
"Hey, look, that doesn't mean anything. Let's just wait till the Prof finds more answers for you. Then we'll know for sure." Rogue put her gloved hand on his shoulder.
"Somehow, I think he already know more than he is willing to tell us." Kurt looked at her.
"Maybe, but if he does, he's probably got good reasons for not telling you."
"Yeah, sure." They looked at the view then saw Danny appear before them. "Hey, Danny, so how was the meeting?"
"It was a sad one actually. I just hope something like this doesn't happen again. I really hate going through major sadness." Dann landed on the balcony next to Rogue.
"Well, ah better get ready for school, but listen to meh, Kurt. Ah know what you're going through. We'll keep looking, and we'll find our answers together someday. Ok?"
"Yeah, ok." Kurt replied back.
"Hey, it's almost time for school, and ah got finals. Ah got to finish getting ready. So do you guys." Rogue said then walked away.
"Thanks Rogue." Kurt replied back watching her walk away from them. "So they don't want me to know?" Kurt asked Danny as Rogue was gone.
"Yep, they think that it's good that you shouldn't know about some things. Kurt listen. I promise to help to find out, but I'm not telling you what I know. If I tell you, the others might either get mad or really sad about it. So I think that we should just drop the subject." Danny turned himself intangible and said, "One more thing Kurt. I hope that you're ready for the finals, because we got a couple big ones to take care of."
Kurt chuckled, "You know how to cheer up the modd when it needs to be. See you later, Danny." Danny waved off and went to his room to grab his bag.
Meanwhile at the school, Principal Darkholme was looking outside the window with a sad look on her face. She saw a car pull up and a girl coming out of the front door. "Thanks mom. I'll see you later." The girl said closing the car door. Mystique sighed even deeper.
"I wish it didn't have to be like this, Kurt, but it's too late to change what has already happened." She whispered to herself.
Meanwhile somewhere in the middle of nowhere, two guys were looking at a screen on the monitor. "It seems the boy is like me." The vampire figure said.
"Indeed he is. His name is Danny Fenton. He'd join the X-men a few months ago." The second figure said.
"So when should I meet him?" The vampire asked.
"Soon, Plasmius, you'll meet him soon."
There you go people. The next chapter has been added. I hope that you enjoyed this chapter.
