Hi everyone~ So, I'll continue my story some more. ;)Don't forget to read part one, or this one will confuse the heck out of you. Part 2 should be longer and slightly more exciting. I apologize in advance for: 1. Not attempting to give fuzzy elf an accent, you'll just have to make it up in your mind. 2. Making Rogue's accent sound like.. well, crap. I live in an area where southerners are almost unheard of. ;)

Rumors, pt. 2
Kurt looked up at the darkening sky. He realized just how long he had been daydreaming about that watch incident. Sighing, the young teen quickened his pace. To top off the rumors, he had made a complete idiot of himself in front of Kitty. He kicked the ground as another dream sequence came on.
"Listen, it's obvious you like her," big brother Scott was being rather smart this afternoon. "Try to find out what she likes, or if she's scared, protect her. I dunno, do big macho stuff." Yeah, Scott. Thanks. Very much. Kurt had taken the advice and had tried it all week. In the danger room when Kitty got all freaked out at the need of a stronger security system, he poofed in right near her and tried to comfort her. Oh yeah, that really worked. She got even more creeped out and floated down through the floor. "Give it time, child" said Ororo. Sure, but he HAD been trying to give it time. So, he then got his first lesson on flying the plane. It began well enough, and no one seemed to fear their lives in his hands. Scott was up next to him, helping him along. While Cyclops' puny, human ears couldn't hear it, Kurt easily heard the conversation going on in the back of the plane. "He's kinda cute.." mused the newest member, Kitty. Jean didn't seem
too happy about it. They were obviously talking about Scott. "Well, cute? I don't know. Maybe at an angle.." the two girls giggled. Nightcrawler had already tried steering with his feet, and that hadn't gotten any attention besides making Scott more nervous. He couldn't take it anymore!
But then, what about if he could stand on top of the plane? *Only Nightcrawler can do that! He has suction feet!* So, being the completely infatuated idiot he was, Kurt teleported right onto the nose of the jet. He stood up for a second, everyone gasped, Scott just sat there like a dolt, and then his grip fell. *I suppose a jet traveling 10,000 feet above the ground is a bit fast for me* he calmly thought has he teleported into the plane again. What he had forgotten, however, was 'velocity' and 'inertia'. Remembering those stupid physics classes really helped. 'An object in motion tends to stay in motion'. So, upon entering the plane, Kurt's body was still flying forward right into.. Kitty's body. *I wouldn't mind being acted upon by this outside force every day..* he thought. Kitty wasn't so pleased. She completely freaked out at his furry body touching hers, and went to sit up by Jean. Yes, what a lovely day that had been. Instead of bringing them closer together, Kurt had made himself and Kitty just go further apart.
(end flashback)
"3 hours.. by the time I get back, he'll make it 5!" he grumbled. Then, an idea hit him-
*DUH, you're the fuzzy elf, smart boy. T-e-l-e-p-o-r-t!* Kurt could have almost smacked himself. He made an excuse of not doing
this sooner by blaming it on his stress. Now, all he had to do was find a safe place to stand. As Kurt stopped to look around, his ears caught a small twig snapping.
When her target perked up at the sound, the follower leaped behind a nearby tree.
*Something is not right..* he thought. Kurt decided to hold off the teleporting for a few more minutes. The teen and his follower took a more winding path through the woods. In the distance, he could barely see the top of the institute peeking above the looming
trees. *Okay, not too much further, don't be freakin' out now..*
Another minute sound.
This time Kurt whirled around, ready to take on whatever was behind him. "R-r-Rogue?!" he stammered at the smug girl. She always thought it was funny how his w's sounded like v's. "Uh.. I thought you lived.. thataway." He pointed back the way they came. Rogue's face fell at how his hand was slightly shaking. "C'mon, Nightcrawler, you put down that awful disguise of yours. I know wha y'all looks like." Kurt remembered what had happened the first time he had put down his "armor". He had been trying to get her to join
the good side, and she had hit him in fear of his blue form. Result: Pain, tiredness, and unconscious in 5 seconds flat. Perhaps she wanted to join their side now. At least she had thick gloves on. However, there was still something wrong about her..
Kurt's features melted into the fuzzy blue animal-type, Nightcrawler. "So, have you come to join us now?" he nervously asked. She was way too close to him. "No. I just loved the feeling of teleporting. But, then Storm's stupid power made me lose control and I lost all my 'magic'. So, hon, I just wanted to 'borrow' your powers." She batted her eyes for effect.
By now, Kurt was up against a tree with her coming nearer. *NO, not that again! The pain, the confusion, the..* Kurt began to climb up the tree backwards. She stood, frustrated, on the ground. "C'mon, hon! Do it for your sis!" Right now, of course, he had no idea what she was talking about, but later.. He could tell that she had gone to the other side. The side of his mother.
His mother. Her daughter, her son? Kurt's eyes literally exploded out of their sockets. "'My sis'?" he whispered. Rogue was becoming more impatient. "Geez, if you're going to make it tough, I'm just going to have to show off my new powers!" He really, really did NOT want to know what they were. Not now. Not after what all had happened this week. "Rogue, I don't know what the hell has gotten into you, but can't we just go back to the institute where you can practice your new powers in the Danger Room?" he frantically asked. "NO, I just want your teleporting powers!" she replied.
With that, the battle began.
