Chapter 3:
Update: March 2022: You probably get the idea by now.
The next few days the mansion was almost silent. Neither Kurt nor Kitty were seen outside of meals, school, and danger room sessions. They hardly said anything and didn't even acknowledge each other's existence. Kitty was always out with Lance or doing homework, while Kurt spent hour after hour in the danger room. The other students tried to pressure Jean into reading their minds, but she stood firm by her belief that it was up to Kitty and Kurt to tell them.
Kurt felt empty. He spent all of his free time in the danger room, which is precisely where he and Scott were now.
Kurt jumped up and over the oncoming blade as it slashed out towards him, landing nimbly on his two-toed feet. No sooner had he landed did a barrage of blasts from the laser cannon assault him. Thinking quickly, Kurt teleported to the ceiling, with only minimal damage. A handful of drones quickly released themselves from the access port on the wall, and proceeded to attack Kurt.
Kurt skillfully leapt down to the floor to escape the oncoming attackers to no avail. Lashing out with his tail, he brought two drones to smoking piles of scrap. He instinctively dodged the third while simultaneously kicking two more out of commission. He caught one in his hand and ripped out its wiring, while making sure to stay away from the blade that once again tried its best to skewer him.
As Kurt was focused on staying out of the blades reach, a small regiment of droids attempted to make their way to him. Kurt quickly found himself overwhelmed, but wouldn't back down from a challenge. It didn't take long for Kurt to be overcome by the droids and if it wasn't for an optic blast from Scott he would have been fuzzy, blue toast.
"End session," Scott commanded the danger room. "Kurt are you okay?"
"Of course, vhy vouldn't I be?" The blue boy replied.
"Well for starters you have never been so reckless in the danger room, your grades are slipping and you hardly speak to anyone.
"Oh zat," Kurt said quietly. "It is nozzing, I'm fine."
"You don't seem fine to me." Scott replied, eyeing Kurt's bruises from merely moments ago. "Kurt you know you can trust me."
"I know." The young mutant said as he left the room in a puff of smoke. Scott sighed as he cleaned the danger room. He had come to care for all the X-Men as his family, and Kurt was like his younger brother. He hated to see him like this, but there wasn't anything Scott could do to change it. Especially since he didn't even know what was upsetting Kurt like this.
Suddenly a light bulb went off in Scott's head. He may not know how to fix Kurt's problem but he could cheer him up.
-later-
Kurt was staring out his window when he heard a knock at his door.
"Come in." He called, secretly hoping he would turn around to find Kitty. However his gaze fixed onto a pair of ruby quartz glasses.
"Hey Kurt, can you help me with something?" Scott asked while trying to hide a smile. "It's really important."
Kurt thought this over for a moment but finally said, "Vell, if its important."
Scott's hidden smile grew as he replied, "Great meet me in the garage."
It was only a matter of moments until the two X-Men met again, this time next to Scott's car. Kurt's curiosity was growing as Scott sat down and motioned for Kurt to join him.
Soon Scott and Kurt were parked outside a bowling alley.
"Vas are ve doing here?" Kurt asked, baffled as to how a bowling alley was important.
"Well," Scott began, "you seem down lately so I thought maybe you'd like to have some fun. You don't have to tell me what's going on, I just wanted to see if I could bring up your mood. My treat, what do you say?"
Kurt looked at him for a moment, thinking it over. Scott really seemed to be concerned for him, and if he was willing to try so hard to help lift Kurt's spirits, he could at least try to enjoy himself.
"Vhat are ve vaiting for?" Kurt said enthusiastically.
Sorry this is a short chapter. I couldn't figure out how to write the next chapter into this one without making it seem weird. I promise the next chapter will be longer though. Also don't forget to review and tell me what you like or don't like so I can make the story better.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
