Chapter 10
Sins
Saturday evenings at Charles Xavier's school for gifted youngsters was either loud or quiet, (depending on what area you were situated at). On most Saturday nights the older students were out with friends or on dates leaving the younger children (those who still found talking with the opposite sex as appealing as doing extra credit) at the school to watch a movie together in the Rec room.
There were older students who did not wish to go out, or who were grounded, that chose to stay at the school. Either watching a more violent movie in the other Rec room or hiding up in their rooms doing study.
The students stayed pretty much apart, deciding on what their preference of movie was and sticking to that room. But on odd occasions a fight would break out, a person might be talking too much during the movie, or someone might have set something alight, it was the latter situation now that Ororo was running to. "What is going on in here?" she yelled the second she entered the room, followed closely by a Native American girl who had run to the teacher when the fight had broke out.
The other students (ranging from young teens to the elder ones) all turned to her at once, "Nothing professor" one of the blonde male students said, sitting back down. Ororo looked at the girl who followed her into the room, Danielle nodded her head towards the rug, signalling to Ororo that someone was being hidden.
The smell of burnt hair hit Ororo's nose when she drew closer to the group of students, Ororo walked around to the television and saw lying on the ground was a dark brown wolf with a burned patch of fur on it's side. Kneeling down Ororo made the wolf sit up but it simply flopped down on the ground again, "Rayne? Can you sit up please?" Ororo asked in a kindly voice, ignoring the glances the students made to each other while Ororo tried to talk to the wolf.
As if the small wolf sighed, it sat back up and looked at Ororo, it's large black eyes not moving from her face. "Please can you come back to your human form?" she asked. The wolf shook its head "Why not?" Ororo asked, the wolf pawed Ororo's cloth covered knee and whined, Ororo frowned and looked back to the other students in the room, who all looked away quickly "Who has her clothes?" Ororo said in a dangerous voice.
The students avoided her gaze but as Ororo looked around she noticed one boy push something under the pillow he was sitting on, Ororo got up and walked over to Jimmy (a playful boy that had a problem with following the group, even if it lead him to trouble, but they found him useful as he could cancel out other's powers) and held out her hand to him "Hand them over, now" she commanded.
Jimmy looked away from her and stuck his hand under the pillow and bought out a pair of sweat pants, underwear and blue tank top, Ororo snatched them off him "I will be back in a moment for a punishment for you and those involved in this" she told him.
Jimmy and the other students went back to watching the movie and Ororo and Danielle walked out the room with the wolf, Rayne, following them to the bathroom. Ororo handed the clothes to Danielle "Could you help her please? Just calm her down" she asked.
"Yes professor" Danielle said, taking the clothes and pulling the wolf into the bathroom, Ororo opened the door for them and waited in the hall for them to finish. Rayne Sinclair was a shy girl, able to take the form of a wolf she should have been a bit vicious, but she was a kind girl. She just had a slight problem trying to defend herself, which is where her friendship with Danielle, Tabitha and Amara (both of the latter out with each other) came in handy, as they were all slightly hot headed.
"What are you doing?" someone asked her, making Ororo jump as she had not expected someone to come to her in the hall, thinking that everyone with a voice that age would be watching some movie rated PG.
Ororo turned around and saw the pink haired Megan looking at her, her day clothes still on but still in perfect condition despite the rather humid day. Megan had decided to come in every day of the week and hung around the school until late as possible before someone took her home on a weekend and the last bus came on a weekday. Megan occasionally talked to the other children but when someone didn't interest her she simply walked away.
In a way Megan reminded Ororo of a free agent, Megan could come and go as she pleased and if she didn't agree with something or she happened to get bored then she could easily leave and move to another group or go home completely and come back the next day and start anew. "Rogue told me to come get you as there is a mission concerning a certain mutant" Megan told Ororo.
Ororo was about to open her mouth to speak when the girls left the bathroom, one of which had a burnt patch in her short brown hair, the teenager looked at Ororo "I'll speak to you later Rayne, okay?" Ororo dismissed. Rayne nodded and Danielle took her kindly back to their room.
Ororo looked back to Meagan and followed her to the elevator "Did Rogue say which Mutant?" Ororo asked.
Megan shook her head and pressed the button "No, but Logan said that the 'blue fuzzy elf' better have a good excuse for messing up. I think that's a bit unfair, it couldn't possibly be the mutant's fault-"
"Wait" Ororo said, cutting Megan off "Did you say 'blue fuzzy elf'?"
"Yes" the young girl replied slowly, saying it as though she explained it a million times and she had to explain it once more.
Ororo smiled brightly and walked happily in to the elevator behind Megan. This fuzzy blue elf that Megan was talking about was obviously the very special and extremely talented Kurt Wagner also known as Nightcrawler, a teleporter.
Kurt had been part of the X men a while back, after they saved him from Stryker, but he quit due to the X men being too violent for Kurt's gentle nature. Ororo was surprised that he quit and a little depressed, Kurt had been one of her closet friends and she felt he was abandoning her. Jean had passed away, Scott had locked himself away in his own mind, Logan was trying to help out Xavier by taking over the danger room and Kurt was just...there.
Kurt was also Ororo religious guide, he just made her calmer somehow. The only way she ever felt as calm was to go up into the sky and just keep going, or spending time with her plants. But Kurt had this sort of aura that seemed to make everything around him just look better than it really was.
The young blue man was orphaned, like herself, but unlike Ororo, Kurt was given to a family that raised him as their own and was later raised as part of their travelling act, hiding him with excuses that his blue skin and tail was a costume. Kurt was found in America by Stryker and the rest, as they say, was history.
Ororo smiled slightly at the memory of Kurt trying to scare Wolverine, but instead landed on his head, making Ororo laugh and the very solemn Scott crack a smile for a second before he was moody once more and left the room. It was the last smile that Ororo saw on Scott's face.
As the elevator hissed open Megan led Ororo down the corridors, moving closer to Cerebro but stopping to a room just next to it, Megan turned around and entered the code for the door (which Ororo wondered how she got) and let Ororo pass. The door hissed shut behind Ororo and she crossed the room to stand near the projection of Boston, exactly where they found Kurt the first time.
"What has happened?" she asked.
"I picked up a disturbance near the cathedral in central Boston." Emma explained, pressing a few buttons and making the projection move so a larger vision of the building she was talking about was shown "Kurt Wagner, aka, Nightcrawler, has been discovered by humans. From what I could tell he tried to make a break for it, but the entire city is out to get him"
"But couldn't he just transport himself to another town?" Bobby asked, walking around the diagram and watching it as it changed locations randomly, as if in the same pattern as Kurt itself.
"He cannot go any further than what he can see" Emma said to him "If he wasn't trapped in the middle of the city he could get away, but with the whole city looking for him and him getting tired eventually, I say Kurt has not got long"
"Then we have to leave now" Ororo told them, already making a move for the door but was stopped when Gambit put his hand on her shoulder.
"How are we supposed to find him? He could literally be anywhere in the city. And if those humans couldn't find him in the hours that they have been chasing him, how are we supposed to?"
"We go to the city, stand in the middle and jump up and down." Ororo said sarcastically, Remy frowned at her "I don't know Remy, we look for him. Unlike those humans we have other ways to find Kurt, such as actual knowledge of where he would most likely hide out and we, oh I don't knew, have powers"
"D'accord! I get it Stormy!" Remy said, throwing up his hands in mock surrender. "Just didn't know you knew the little blue man"
"Well we do" Rogue told him "Ahnd that little blue man happened to save my life, idiot"
"How should I ever thank him?" Gambit asked, taking Rogue in his arms while she hit him away feebly. "This mutant has done us all a favour and saved our Rogue from death"
"Don't let go of meh in one second and nothing will save ya from certain death" Rogue threatened, going for her glove and started to lift it away, Remy quickly backed away from Rogue who gave a satisfied smile.
Logan nodded his head "Right, right" he muttered. "I just hope the blue elf hasn't gotten himself into too much trouble"
"Who's going to keep an eye on the kids?" Bobby asked "I know Remy is because he isn't exactly an X-man yet...but who's going to keep an eye on Gambit?"
"Ah will" Rogue volunteered, "that swamp rat ain't gonna teach the kids no more card games"
"I never told them to play strip poker!" he told her, but Rogue simply rolled her eyes.
"Fine" Ororo said, cutting Remy off from a rant "Just as long as you keep an eye on the children. The rest of you prepare for the mission, I will fly the jet"
Suddenly the whole team jumped up at once, "You can't come!" Logan said immediately.
"Says who?" Ororo retorted.
"Says me!"
"Yeah Ororo" Emma agreed, "Don't you think it's a little dangerous? I can fly the jet just fine, you can stay here"
"I disagree with you being able to fly" Logan told Emma as kindly as possible (which was still far from nice) "but Ororo you can't come!"
"Guys look" Peter said, standing up and standing next to Ororo "She wants to go, that's that, we just have to respect Storm's decision and try to help her out as much as possible" he turned around slightly and winked at Ororo, who smiled kindly back, but her kind smile turned into one of victory the second his back was turned, mostly aimed at Logan. "She's coming"
Logan growled and came so close to Peter's nose that they were barely an inch apart "Give me once good reason why she should go" he hissed, but Peter did not flinch.
"Because I want to" Ororo told him calmly, coming to Peter's side. "I want to go. I want to see my friend" When Logan still didn't move Ororo sighed and rolled her eyes, "Okay, everyone who wants to go, go get dressed. Logan, you can come now or you can stay here and try to argue still. Just do something that doesn't involve Peter so he can get dressed"
Ororo knocked him forcefully aside as she passed, shaking her head as she did. It annoyed her to no end when she had someone telling her what to do, she was her own person, for goodness sake. She had been able to control her life perfectly before and since Logan came along, so what if sometimes she didn't make the right decisions (her life as a thief, almost getting herself killed countless times, her pregnancy) but at least she knew when she was in too deep and could pull herself out.
There have been fights where she had to be forced to pull out, but usually she was the one telling the team that they had to pull out and come up with a new plan. Logan was usually the fool with the 'foolproof' plan, his plan usually involved slashing a large amount of people with his claws until they won.
Sometimes it wasn't the best idea.
As Ororo twisted the lock she watched out the corner of her eye as Logan and Peter walked into the locker room, both going to their own lockers on opposite sides of the room and going for their leather uniforms.
Then something stuck Ororo, what if she couldn't fit into her uniform? She glanced around the room quickly at the others who were in different forms of undress or going into the more private dressing room. Ororo nibbled her lip and hung her outfit over her arm and slammed her locker shut.
If she couldn't fit into her uniform she wanted to do it at least in the privacy of another room, that way she could cry freely. She waited as Emma left the room in her own version of the uniform (her mid-driff exposed and a cape added on the back) "All yours" she said smiling.
Ororo only nodded in response as she shut the door behind her. She only had so long before she couldn't go back on her promise that she was going, if this uniform didn't fit, then to put it politely, she was going to be so screwed. Everything that she had been saying was going to go down the drain, the way Peter so graciously defended her would be for nothing and Logan was going to be very smug with himself...and Ororo really didn't want that.
She quickly pulled off her clothes and shoes, then she pulled her leather outfit on over her legs, pulling them up over her hips, then she took off her bra and pulled her arms through. Ororo positioned the leather so it was just covering her breasts, then she took held of the zipper and turned to the mirror.
If her uniform didn't fit then that was it, her life as an X-man was partially over. But she was determined to make it fit, so with a strong grip on her zipper she pulled it up. She pulled it past her belly button, holding her breath in as she did, the big test was going to get past that point and up to her neck.
Ororo held her breath and pulled the zipper to her throat then she exhaled and grinned at herself at the mirror, it still fit!
She was still an X-man! Ororo did a very small happy dance in the dressing room before she remembered she had to go save a certain blue mutant.
Ororo pushed open the door and saw the others were all dressed and just pulling back hair (Emma) or telling Remy to behave himself (Logan), "Okay, the mission idea is to go in and find Kurt, then to return to the jet" she yelled to the group, they all turned to her and looked at her expectantly as she flipped her cape behind her. "Do not try to harm the humans unless they try to hurt you"
"Got it!" Logan growled, but Ororo wondered if he was paying attention to what she said as he had began to play with his claws, making them pop out of his fist and back in again. But she knew he heard every word when she saw his eyes follow her as she walked past him and to the doors of the aircraft hangar.
oOOo
The Blackbird landed gracefully on top of one of the taller and larger buildings in Boston, the small ramp then slid out from underneath it and 6 people walked off the jet, looking over the side of the building for any signs of a mob chasing a blue puff of sulphur which could easily be identified as Nightcrawler...if they ever caught him. "How are we ever going to find him?" Bobby asked. "He could be anywhere in the city!"
"We all have are communicators, split up and just look for him. If anyone find him just tell him we are there to help and call in the others" Ororo told them, watching as they all turned on their communicators as she spoke, she turned on her own and walked to the ledge of the building "Report back here in an hour if you are unsuccessful" she told them. Then she jumped off the side of the building.
If a normal person (or even Mutant) did this then they were in for certain death, but for Mutants like Ororo she was able to manipulate the winds to carry her over the buildings, as if she were flying. Across from her Ororo could see Warren take off into the sky, his large wings flapping in the breeze as he went north, the others would all make their ways down to the ground before they tried to find Nightcrawler.
Ororo felt the air whip past her face and she knew she was being foolish for not pulling up and flying straight but the feeling of the air flowing past her just made all her recent troubles and concerns fly away, it was cleansing and refreshing, as the air was pure and free, it had no master, no responsibilities. She was only a few yards above the ground before she pulled up and flew back up again, going vertical as she passed the windows on the buildings opposite her before she could finally see the top of the buildings again and fly straight above the city, her eyes peeled for any sign of her friend.
It was going to be tricky trying to find Kurt, he was a master of the shadows, being a Mutant with such an obvious mutation Kurt had to hide often and was good at running and fighting, but mostly he hid from people. From stories that he told Ororo, he told of situations where he was so tired from jumping from spot to spot that he had to hide anywhere he could, some of the places that Kurt hid were truly interesting and they always had a good laugh when he told Ororo that he was hiding right over the mob's heads and they didn't even realise it.
Speaking of a mob, Ororo flew over one that was made up of mainly adult men and women, but there were also a few teen boys. They ran in a completely different direction to a group of teen girls, but all were aiming for the same thing, from what Ororo could tell. There weren't exactly that many 'Blue freaky things' that could 'Bamf' out of nowhere.
Ororo felt the communicator go off and she answered it as she landed on top of a building. "Storm" she answered in a formal tone.
"Ice man, I think I have a lead" she heard Bobby say, Ororo flew a few yards above the building and saw someone moving over the city on a slope made of ice "I think I see him going East"
"Tell Wolverine and White Witch, they can catch him easily. I'm going to stay on this side of the city just to keep an eye on the mobs" she told him.
"Right, over and out" and Ororo was greeted with static. Ororo jumped up again and fell of the building, but after a mile of falling she pulled up and started to fly over the buildings, she had frequent calls from her team mates, telling her that Kurt was going in almost every direction. Ororo always told them to keep on track and try to corner him at some point if possible.
After a half hour Ororo grew tired, before she left Rogue had told her that because of the pregnancy she may get more tired than usual, being so low to the ground Ororo could not summon the energy to fly up and try to sit on top of a building to rest. She would only need a moment to sit, so Ororo rounded another corner and noticed an alley way, looking quickly and seeing no one running that way, Ororo landed on the ground and took a peak into the dark alley.
Just as she thought, no one was in there. Ororo ventured deeper and suddenly felt hands around her neck. But what this person didn't know was that Ororo was a trained fighter. Quickly she turned a little and grabbed the arms that held her, lifting them away from her neck and flipping the arm over her head, the body to follow after it.
Ororo started to make a run for it, trying to get up into the air and get away from this mugger. This however wasn't what she got, the person jumped up again and pinned Ororo to the wall with great strength, Ororo made sure to keep her hands in front of her stomach so to cushion the wall from it. Ororo to head butt the person away but he saw this coming and held her face against the wall with his hand. "What do you want from me?" she hissed but received no answer as the person felt around her waist.
Ororo was about to be violated, she would be assaulted if she didn't get away soon! She had to get out but this person was just too strong for her.
At least she always had plan B.
Ororo gritted her teeth as she tried to summon up her power but she felt the hand that held her head against the wall back away and she was free again. Ororo jumped away from the wall quickly and turned around to see the person who had tried to feel her up.
Instead she was met with the blue face of Kurt Wagner. "Kurt?" she said, reaching for him but at the same time trying to creep back.
"Ororo! I am zo zorry! I thought you were von of zem!" he said, backing away from her and holding out his hands in front of him. His old clothes were baggier and ripped, his face gaunt, but even with his vast differences his yellow eyes still looked innocent and light, "Vhat are you doing here?" he asked.
"I should ask you what you were doing feeling me up!" she snapped harshly.
Kurt smiled sheepishly and his tail hovered near his face, holding the knife that Ororo hid in her belt. "I vas simply checking for veapons, in case you vere one of zem." He said, nodding towards the entrance of the ally way "But when I saw ze X on ze knife, your uniform and ze hair I knew it vas you"
His tail flickered over to Ororo and she took the knife, sticking it back into her belt and looking back to the blue Mutant "What are you doing in Boston?" she asked.
"A...number of reasons" Kurt shrugged, he grinned happily and Ororo ran to him, evolving him into a giant hug which he returned happily. "You don't know how much I've missed you all" he said, stroking her back. Ororo smiled into his shoulder but felt the buzzing of her communicator on her hip.
Ororo pulled away and held a finger to Kurt's face as she answered the call. "Storm here"
"Wolverine" she was answered with "I saw Nightcrawler head west a few minutes ago, I tried to follow him but I was blocked off-"
"I've got him right here" Ororo said to Logan "Where are you?"
"We were all set to corner the elf near the park"
"We're pretty close to there. Look, I'll pick up the jet, all of you run to the park and we'll pick you up."
"Okay, better make it fast Storm...but stay safe"
Ororo grinned to herself "Okay, over and out" she then clicked off and grabbed Kurt's hand. "We have to go. You can't stay in Boston"
"On a usual day I would say I vould rather stay...today however I vill gladly come vith you" he then grabbed her hand and Ororo saw the familiar sign that Kurt was trying to teleport. Ororo ripped her hand from his grip just as Kurt teleported, a second later he appeared in front of her again and grabbed her shoulders. "Vhat are you doing! Ve have to go!" he then tried to teleport again but Ororo jumped from his hands.
"I can't Kurt!"
"Vhy not?"
"Because I'm pregnant and I don't know what teleporting will do to the baby" she blurted out. She clamped her hands over her mouth and Kurt's eyes widened in surprise.
"Your vhat!" he cried out.
"Kurt, I know it's against your religion in every way possible but believe me when I saw that this baby is the best thing that has happened to me so far in this life" she tried to say quickly, but faltered when Kurt's eyes returned to normal but he still didn't speak. "Kurt, say something" she pleaded.
There was a pause then Kurt ran to her and almost strangled her as he hugged her "Ororo, Zhat is the most vonderful zing I ever heard! You have a little one on za way!"
"Kurt, can't breathe!" she gasped.
"Oh zorry" he said, letting her go. He then looked quickly around them, thinking hard "How are ve supposed to get to ze jet?" he asked. Grinning, Ororo flew slightly above him and held him under his arms, lifting him off the ground. "Okay, zis is freaky" Kurt squeaked from under her, but Ororo just laughed. She glided through the city, moving higher and higher, she could see the jet only a few buildings away but Kurt yelped again and struggled a little in her arms.
"Calm down Kurt, we are almost there" although she laughed as she said it.
"Don't laugh!" he yelled at her, but it just made her laugh harder. "I'm just glad that if you drop me I'll be okay"
The landed perfectly on the top of the building and Ororo opened the jet, "Get in the jet, we have to fly to the park and pick up the rest of the team before the mob discovers I've got you" she opened the door to the jet and both mutants ran on.
Ororo quickly turned the jet on and strapped herself into the chair, watching as Kurt strapped himself into the chair next to her. While Ororo tried to concentrate on the flashing buttons the insane smile on Kurt's face distracted her just a little bit. "What are you so happy about?" she asked as she felt the rumble of the jet starting to fly.
"Notzing much, just zat I'm glad to see all of you alive and vell again...I have not been able to use any technology for ze last year and last that I heard waz zat you vere all facing big problems with ze Brotherhood and Magneto"
"Oh, that was simple enough. Magneto is very tame. We, in fact, were wondering if you were still alive" Ororo told Kurt, she flicked one more switch and the Blackbird hovered over the building before taking off, it wasn't fast but it wasn't slow, just enough so that Ororo could try and find the patch of green in a grey city. Ororo looked to the navigator and saw sets of blinking lights which were the homing devices of her team mates below her.
Ororo jetted down quickly and landed, letting the ramp slide slowly. Ororo tapped the wheel impatiently as she waited for the team to run onto the jet. "Great timing" she heard Bobby greet her as he ran onto the jet. "One of the mobs is right behind us and they look pretty pissed off"
"Why?" asked Ororo as she pressed the necessary buttons to take off.
Emma laughed cruelly "Because Bobby made an ice patch in the middle of the road and they all slipped" she snorted again, Ororo even cracking a smile. Emma walked to the seat where Kurt was currently occupying it. "Uh, could you move please" Kurt quickly shuffled out of his seat and landed in the one across from Logan while Emma sat down in her seat and strapped herself in, going into pilot mode.
Together Ororo and Emma prepared the jet for flight, "Brace yourself" Ororo told them "We are going to have to take off pretty fast" she heard the normal buckling of people behind her. She turned to Emma who gave a quick nod, signalling that she was ready to co-pilot. And then Ororo took off into the sky as fast as she could.
The rumble of the jet was overwhelming until they finally reached the level where they flew just under the clouds and were slowly making their way up and out of Boston. Ororo smiled to herself, they were taking Kurt home.
oOOo
After almost an hour in the air Ororo grew restless, she wanted to desperately know what her friend was doing back in Boston after he said he was in Germany for the last couple of years. She unlocked her belt and looked over to Emma who was staring glassy eyed into the clouds. "Emma, could you take over for awhile?" she asked.
"Sure!" Emma said happily, then pressed the required buttons so she was in control of the jet. Ororo got out of her seat and saw that Logan was behind her in a sort of sleep, she brushed his arm and moved on to the seats at the very back of the jet where Kurt was currently occupying.
Reminding herself of the first time she really talked to Kurt Wagner, Ororo sat down next to him, seeing the Hail Mary in his blue fingers. "I have to ask Kurt, what are you doing back in Boston? We haven't heard from you in years and the week you come back to America everyone has heard about you"
"I have...many reasons to return" he told her, counting another bead.
"But which ones?" Ororo asked. When Kurt looked away from him she rubbed his arm "Kurt, I just want to know if someone forced you to come here or because you wanted to come back"
Kurt gave a humourless laugh and started on his story, as though Ororo was only hearing it for the first time "I lived with my circus show ever zince I vas found as a baby, 8 years ago the circus was bought by an American. Another mutant child at the circus told me zat ze American planned to zell uz mutants out for cash so I had to leave my family in order to protect za mutant children. Ve vere on the run for a year before Stryker caught up vith me, you knew what happened to me after zat but ze children were taken to various places, some even went back to your school. After Jean died I went back to Germany to try and find my adoptive family. As you can see I was unsuccessful" he said, lifting his shoulders in a shrug.
"But what are you doing in Boston? Out of every city you came back to the one that we found you in, what has Boston got to offer you?"
"My muzzer" he whispered, Ororo blinked. Kurt was back in America to look for his biological mother? Ororo was so amazed at his answer that she didn't even hear him start his story again, but she was able to bring herself back to this world as he explained his answer to her.
"I heard that she was in America and zat I got a lead a couple of months back zat she was in Boston. I've been looking up all za Mutants in the city trying to find her but I had no luck after a few months I started to lose hope...zen I got to thinking about ze X men again. After watching so much pain and confusion, I wazen't able to help the veak, there was one of me and so many of zem. I was able to zend the children being chased into a safe direction but I couldn't help zem all. I started to miss working az a team, a little"
"I was sleeping in the church, and I was going to travel back to New York tonight but a few hours ago, when I woke up I turned over a little too far and fell, landing in ze middle of a bunch of people." He laughed slightly, "I guess I shall never find my muzzer but at least I found you" he smiled.
Ororo swallowed "You wanted to join us again?" she asked. Kurt nodded in agreement and Ororo let a small squeal escape her lips before she squeezed Kurt into a giant hug.
"Can't breathe!" he squeaked out. Ororo realised him but held onto his shoulders, his yellow eyes and pointed tail would look so demonic on another person but they just looked right on him. Made him different just like her. He was nowhere near the demon that people portrayed him as, he was really the sweet little elf that Logan always called him.
oOOo
"And this is your room" Ororo said to Kurt as she pushed open a door. They walked inside and Ororo gestured to all the aspects of the room, Kurt had only just told his story to the others and Ororo was simply showing him around the school he had left so long ago. Rogue was ecstatic to see him again, and he to her, they were like siblings who had not seen each other in a while.
If there was a relationship closer than Ororo's and Kurt's it was Rogue's and Kurt's. Almost like Rogue and Logan, Kurt and her got off to not such a good start, but they soon found mutual ground. The fact that people ran from them before they really knew the person behind the power was something they had in common. Rogue yelled the second he got home and punched him playfully, telling him that they would catch up after he sorted out a few things.
"If you have any questions just ask me" Ororo finished as she made her way to the door "I'll let you get settled, you must have had a long time running"
"It's not so bad" Kurt shrugged, but fell down on his bed all the same. "Just nice to be in a room again"
Concerned Ororo stepped closer to him "When was the last time you were in a real room?" she asked softly.
Kurt paused, then pushed himself and propped himself up on his elbows, "You know, I can't remember za last time" he said to Ororo but she suspected he was saying it to himself. The was a small knock on the door and Ororo turned around to see Megan standing there, her small wings flickering. "Guten Abend wenig eins" Kurt greeted her in fluent German.
"Guten Abend" Megan repeated to him. "And I am not small" she pouted.
Kurt gave her a cheeky grin, "Ah, za girl knows German" he said, Megan blushed.
"What do you need Megan?" Ororo asked.
"Mr Logan is looking for you" Megan told her.
"Okay, thank you for telling me. You should call your aunt so she can pick you up, or at least make arrangements to stay here for the evening, it's very late Megan" she said to Megan, giving her a slight push out the door, Ororo turned back to Kurt and smiling sweetly to him "Sorry, this must be important" she apologised.
Kurt chuckled "Za fazzer of the child always is"
Ororo paused at the door, turning towards Kurt as he laid back on his bed. How had he known about Logan being the father of her unborn child? Ororo didn't remember telling him at all about Logan, she wasn't even that 'friendly' towards Logan anywhere near Kurt. Kurt sat up on his bed again and looked at Ororo in concern "What is wrong?" he asked.
"How did you know that it was Logan?" she asked.
Kurt shrugged and gave a small smile "I see za vay you look him, the vay your eyes just light up vhen he says zomething kind towards you"
Ororo sighed heavily "I'm sorry to sound so personal, but do you think I'm wrong for keeping this child?" she asked him, he look dumbfounded and walked over to her, his face serious for once.
"Vhat do you mean?" he asked.
"I mean, do you think I was stupid for getting myself pregnant" she asked, holding her hand over her stomach, drawing a small circle with her finger.
"Yes and no" he said "I zink zat getting yourself pregnant was a fehler but you are far from stupid. Before I left the first time I saw za vay you looked at ze children, how you vanted to keep zem forever but you had to let zem go every year."
Ororo sniffled slightly and Kurt grabbed onto her hand, his large 3 fingered hand covered her own chocolate hand with a comfortable gesture "You look zo happy now. I zlightly dizapprove of the vay the child was conceived but za child is a gift from God, I see zat he has made you so happy with zis child and Logan looks almost care free"
Ororo laughed slightly "Thanks Kurt, knowing that someone here only disapproves of the way the baby was conceived not the child in general has actually made my night, but it can't compare to how happy I am to have you back here again"
Kurt laughed as well and gave Ororo back her hand "Anyzing zat makes you happy is totally vorth it" he said "You had better find Logan before he tries to find you" he gave her a playful push into the direction of the stairs before he went back to his room to talk rest.
Ororo smiled to herself, one of her closest friends was back to stay for a while but instead of being upset with what he thought he should be Kurt was just following his religion (the whole 'sex before marriage' deal) he was happy over Ororo's 'gift from god' and although Ororo did not follow his religion he had the same idea that she had.
That this baby was a gift.
Sorry this took so long...again. Anyway, the mob bit about the girls? Well, in Australia recently Justin Beiber had a concert in Sydney and this being the only concert in Australia thousands of teen girls flocked to Sydney to only be disappointed that Justin had to cancel on them. For a moment let's visualise 58/60 thousand girls going nuts over this cancelled concert, so they run amok. It's hilarious to see all these girls going in mobs around the city trying to find Justin Beiber (most epic scene where they think they have found Justin's car, the mob chases after it to only have half the mob turn back and go the other way for some weird reason)!
Seriously! Justin Beiber? I just think he sounds and looks like a 12 year old boy! (if you disagree leave a comment) so that's my inspiration for the mob bit.
Happy new, my teacher at school is pregnant! We are all so happy for her, and she makes the 3rd teacher to become pregnant this year! It's amazing! Me and my friends have a joke saying that the pregnant teachers are trying to take over with their hormones.
So congratulations to my teachers and to all of your friends/family/teachers if they are pregnant!
BTW, you know how I said SHEILD for the first couple chapters? Total mental blank, meant to say M.R.D so I've gone back and re-edited. So just to make that clear, it's M.R.D people!
Review and make a little girl in Australia happy.
