Never Met a Demon with a German Accent

Kitty and Kurt watched as Colossus led the frail girl inside the mansion. Once they were gone the duo sat down outside and waited. Kitty was glad the giant was gone. She thought he was handsome, but he terrified her.

Kitty sat down next to Kurt and noticed he still had his hologram up. "So when are you, like, going to show the new girl what you really look like?"

Kurt looked at her and grinned before saying, "Right now."

oOo

Kurt teleported in front of Illyana and Piotr in the hallway – once again he was closer than he planned; he preferred to greet people from a distance at first. Piotr had ducked for cover again and was sheepishly changing back from his bullet-proof metal form.

"Guten Tag." Kurt said.

"Hello?" The girl said in a thick Russian accent.

"I suppose I should get dis over vit." Kurt sighed.

He turned off his watch to reveal his blue, fuzzy self and suddenly the girl let out a primeval scream. It seemed to echo around Kurt's skull; before he could react he found a large glowing blue sword sticking out of his rib cage.

He realised that the girl had drawn the sword from somewhere and stabbed him. Kurt realised that he should be dying – what an unexpected way to go!

But, nanoseconds passed and Kurt realise he felt no pain, just a cold chill where the blade went straight through him. Kurt felt panic rise inside him and quickly teleported away.

oOo

"I guess she didn't take it well." Kitty said.

"Vhat did you here?" Kurt answered frowning.

"Even I don't scream that loud!" Kitty laughed.

Kurt was still shaking.

"Kurt!" A voice echoed in their minds, "My office. Now!"

"Gott in Himmel. I'm in so much trouble!" Kurt muttered as he teleported away.

oOo

Kurt arrived in Xavier's office. Piotr and Illyana were already there. She sat close to Piotr and was eyeing Kurt with a mixture of fear and anger – a primal mixture that made Kurt feel like she planned to stab him again.

He was as terrified of her as she was of him, he was still shaking and his tail swished nervously from side-to-side. He caught her gaze and saw he watch tail– as if she planned to cut it off.

Illyana herself feared that Kurt would whip around and stab the pointed tip of his tail through her throat.

"I'm very sorry." Kurt said to Illyana and Piotr hastily, "I didn't mean to scare you."

"Illyana has been in a Limbo world for the past few years, she has met several… creatures and some of them look like you." Xavier explained calmly.

"Like demons?" Kurt muttered, knowing full well his appearance was distasteful to some.

"Yes." Xavier sighed, "Do you understand what you did was irresponsible?"

"Ja." Kurt said, "Und again, I'm very sorry."

"And Illyana, in future I'd prefer if you didn't stab my students." Xavier said.

"Sorry." The Russian girl muttered, "The sword wouldn't have hurt him, it only kills magical creatures, I thought he was a monster that maybe followed me through."

"Trust me," Xavier said, "We blocked off that place, only you can bring it back, so long as you don't want it here, nothing will get you."

"Yes professor." Illyana muttered, "I've never met a demon with a German accent anyway."

oOo

Kitty sat back on her bed and let her mixed up thoughts float freely. Two of her enemies were now waltzing around the mansion, the new girl had been carrying some sort of weapon, Kurt was too preoccupied sparring with Nero to have a proper conversation with her and who knew what other surprises lay ahead.

Then she heard a small knock on the door.

"Why'd you bother knocking when you're going to barge in anyway?" Kitty asked.

"My mother always told me it was polite to knock." Nero said.

"What'd you want?" Kitty asked.

"I can't talk to Kurt because the professor's having a go at him for scaring the new girl. Piotr's stopping her from talking to anyone else, but, I caught her name – Illyana. Storm and Beast are busy, so you're the only person left to talk to." Nero explained.

"Like, okay." Kitty said.

Kitty proceeded to tell him about her holiday – attempting to make it sound as exciting as possible. Kitty was amazed that he sat through the whole thing. People usually got fed up of her rambling on and usually stopped or interrupted. She was suspicious that he wasn't even listening – if he was he was being awfully patient because even she couldn't make her holiday sound very interesting.

Eventually she stopped and knew she probably shouldn't ask but did anyway, "So what about your holidays?"

Immediately Nero tensed up. "You don't have to answer, y'know." Kitty said.

"Thanks." Nero said.

Kitty decided she'd be patient, he'd tell her eventually – nobody could keep secrets for long in the mansion.

Suddenly the silence was interrupted by a shout from downstairs: "What on earth happened to the KITCHEN!"

"Sounds like the others are here." Nero said.

Nero smiled, Kitty realised it was very similar to the smile Kurt had given her before he'd teleported in front of Illyana earlier.

"Race you to the kitchen." Nero said, before doing a comedy dive into the shadow thrown by her bed.

She would have laughed, but she was too busy sinking through the floor – a huge grin on her face.
