Here you go, chapter 11

Here you go, chapter 11!!  I'm not sure how many more chapters there are gonna be…possibly 3 or 4…I haven't even gotten to the fight scene =)  I thank all for they're enthusiastic comments…luv the ones about Mystique…priceless=)  I'm in the 50's and extremely happy about that!!!   Sorry, I haven't been updating every day…I like to do that…but w/ school and everything…some things just gotta come first, no matter how much you wanna deny it  LoL  So, hope you enjoy, and, as always, R/R…my ego could always use something to inflate it!!! 

"Oh my God, Kurt!"  Kitty wailed when she was him standing side by side with Mystique. 

The rest of the group just stared in disbelief.  No one had seen this coming.  The Professor tried to contact Kurt telepathically, but could not reach him.  Mystique noticed his attempt and smirked.

"Now, now Charles.  You know that I couldn't have you planting thoughts in anything that I've created," she glanced at Kurt, "Your not playing fair."

The Professor answered back hotly, "Mystique, leave the boy out of this.  He is young and innocent, deal with me."

Mystique laughed, "I would, but you see, my dear Charles, that he came of his own free will.  I did not force anything upon him." 

Surprised, all in the cubical looked at Kurt.

"Kurt would never…he just wouldn't!!"  Rogue cried to Mystique. 

"Oh, but he did child," Mystique was clearly enjoying this form of torture.

"Kurt?"  Jean asked meekly.  Kurt did not answer.  He did not seem to be paying attention to the conversation.  His eyes lacked the brightness she had seen in them only days before. 

"You see, the process of recombining your DNA into a super mutant is nearly complete.  Soon you will see what your contributions have created."  Mystique started into further detail, but was interrupted by Kurt's coughing fit.  She ordered him to his room, and said she would be with him shortly.  Kurt walked out of the room without glancing back. 

Mystique soon finished gloating about her superior mutants, then left, following Kurt's path.  The X-Men began to realize what had just happened.

"Oh God, Kurt, he isn't…he can't be…one of them,"  Rogue voice was trembling.

"Rogue's right, right Professor?  I mean, Kurt is just doing this to try to get us outta here, right?"  Scott tried to convince himself that Kurt was only doing this to help the team.

"I don't know Scott," Charles ran what had happened over in his head, but the thing that stuck out the most was the look in Kurt's eyes.  They were empty, reflected no emotions.  Almost…dead.

"What happens now?"  Kitty asked from her place in the corner, where she was currently sitting and hugging her knees to her chest. 

"We wait," Storm answered bluntly. 

Kurt looked around at his new room.  Mystique had insisted that he remain in the warehouse until the genetics project was complete.  She had a room down the hall.  Kurt's room was Spartan like, lacking much of the comforts he had grown accustomed to during his time at the Institute.  All he had was a small cot, a dresser with 4 drawers a mirror and a lamp on top of the dresser.  Mystique assured him that his permanent room would be much more lavish, but Kurt didn't really care. 

As he stood there staring at his new suit, a black body suit, similar to his old uniform, but it had a large green diamond like shape on the back and front,(A/N There's the description of the suit…not very creative, I know, but how much variation can you have in a uniform body suit for his type of work?  LoL  that's for you Casey!! =)  ) he began to think.  He had lost all feeling for everything.  He just stopped caring.  There were still some lingering emotions towards the X-Men though.  He felt that he owed them something.  He owed it to them to get their freedom.  He felt no allegiance to the Brotherhood, so he decided he would free them.  He didn't care what happened to him. 

The only problem was how.  He was still far too weak to hold any hope of winning a battle against the genetically superior mutant, so how to do it?  Kurt was pondering his dilemma when Mystique entered his room. 

She spoke briskly, "Move!  We've got business to take care of." 

Kurt reluctantly followed, still deciding what actions he would take, when he found himself in a room filled with artificial womb, caring for the genetically engineered mutants until they reached adulthood.  The scene disgusted him. 

Mystique stopped in front of a large cylinder, in which a mutant was almost fully developed.  It looked disturbingly like Scott, but was female and of darker skin. 

"Here," Mystique pointed to the mutant, "Is the first of the mutants, born of the X-Men genes, to be born.  You are to sit here and wait until it begins to stir.  Once it does, immediately summon me."  With those instructions, she left and Kurt began to consider his problem of freeing the X-Men.

He stared at the mutant, growing rapidly, so near to him, and realized that he must hurry.  Its arm just twitched.  

****What ya guys think?  Big fight is coming soon…=)  Hope you enjoyed the chapter and I want to hear all your thoughts
