Shadowed past

Kurt hid Mystique's letter better, and the Xmen are late - Kurt's kidnapped by the Brotherhood slash Magneto, causing both weakening and strengthening of the bonds of the X-men... Kurt Mystique family-centric. CURRENTLY REWRITING, THOUGH MARKED AS COMPLETE, THE EPILOGUE AND RESOLUTION TO THE STORY IS STILL MISSING.

11. The Institude without the fuzzy elf

Sorry for this taking so long, but I have a lot of homework, and this week we have written at least 6 tests. And I will have a very hard Monday... Oh, my...

Chapter 11: The Institute without the fuzzy elf

(by Kriszty)

"He's been gone for ten whole days now and I don't CARE what the Professor says!"

Scott and Jean were having a roar, which was not rare these days. Scott had the idea that they should get out information from the Brotherhood's head, and he didn't care if he had to crush their heads to get something out of there.

All of them missed the fuzzy elf, Scott did the most. Logan told him and Jean what he found out at that castle, and Kurt being one of Scott's best friends, he cared for him. Scott never told anyone, but he felt towards Kurt like towards a brother. And he already lost one brother; he didn't want to loose another one.

"Scott, be reasonable!" (have been watching My fair lady recently)

"You can't understand this" Scott thought angrily.

"Oh yes I can! The Professor said we couldn't do anything!"

"Well, I am not going to just sit around here and wait for Kurt being brought back dead or as a member of the Brotherhood! I am going to do something!"

"Yeah, like what? Beat the shit out of the Brotherhood?"

"YES!!!!!" Scott shouted from the top of his voice and ran away.

"Oooops... I just gave him an idea... Hey! It's a good one!" (See? She has heart, even if I can't tell it about her brain...)

Cyclops, Jean, Shadowcat, Spike, Rogue and Wolverine were on their way to get some answers but the Professor stopped them. They met at the Brotherhood's door.

"I've already told you can do nothing!" He wasn't angry, more like sad. And strict.

"But Professor..."

"No, Scott. I know you're angry but they don't know anything about Kurt, and it's not their fault. This is between Kurt and Mystique, and it's their choice. Besides, I've already went threw their minds and they know nothing"

The X-men could do nothing but agree and go home.

Scott hadn't mentioned the matter no more, but he was stricter than ever on the Danger-room sessions and he could be caught shouting with someone much more often than before.
