Chapter 7: The van
The X-van sped over to Bayville High and skidded to a halt at the main gates of the school.
Scott, Evan, Kitty and Hank ran up to meet the van.
Excuses had been shockingly easy to get away with today- Mystique/Principle Darkholme had apparently took a sudden leave of absence.
The students (Scott, Evan, Kitty) simply said that there was a family emergency and they were free, Hank had to get another teacher to cover for him - exchanging work shifts and getting a raw deal for it.
Although they usually managed to change into their X-men gear* one way or another - this time they didn't. They were launching into a mission without any preparation and it made Scott a little edgy.
Everyone else was all right with the situation as far as they could be.
"Hurry it up!" Wolverine aka. Logan shouted gruffly from the drivers seat, foot waiting as patiently as possible on the accelerator.
The kids and teacher jumped into the van.
"What's the mission?" Scott asked.
Kitty sniffed and looked nervous, "Uh Mr Logan … we sort of have another problem. This guy Kurt is…"
"Yeah, yeah, half-pint. I already know. Kurt Wagner is the mutant we're looking for"
Kitty looked relieved.
"Kurt?" Evan's interest suddenly sprung to life, "He's a mutant?"
"Well its like hard not to notice!" Kitty exclaimed, "He was like blue the last time I saw him!"
Hank sat in the front seat next to Logan, carefully assimilating any relevant information that he could abstract from the X-kids conversation.
Scott just sat next to Evan, opposite Kitty, with a confused look on his face, "Isn't that the guy who had the ankle problem?"
Kitty stopped her babble and Evan directed his attention towards Scott.
"Yeah" Scott ran a hand through his hair, "that's right-me and Jean had to help him. I remember-he's sorta odd. Cheerful one minute, sort of rude the next."
"Paranoid" Hank supplied and took part in the conversation, "Its not surprising from the information Cerebro has produced; the Professor has just transferred this Kurt's file to the X-van computer*"
"What's his power?" Scott changed into dedicated X-man mode.
"He just like disappears!" Kitty mumbled.
"Actually it's the ability to teleport but it's had side-effects" Hank skimmed through Cerebros report, Logan drove to Kurt's current address- a nice little red dot on the tracking device.
"Side effects?" Wolverine growled.
"Apparently Mr Wagner's suffering physiological and chemical changes in his body and the last time he was detected using his powers- well, its looking very extreme" Hank frowned at the report, "and its not over yet"
"Poor kid" Logan sighed, everyone looked at him in mild shock, "What? - Don't look so surprised, its not like I don't give a damn. I wouldn't be here if I didn't give a damn!" he growled in defence of himself and tried to maintain his fearsome reputation.
Kitty bit her lip, "He looked really ill".
"Hey don't worry" Scott smiled, "We're the X-men and we can help anyone*"
"Yeah" Kitty sounded very unsure.
"Whoa-Kurt's really a mutant?" Evan paused, "Cool!"
"Doubt he'll see it that way" Wolverine cautioned as he slowed down the X-van and parked outside a really shabby looking apartment block.
They all scrambled out of the van and looked at the height of the building.
"Seen worse, seen better" Wolverine shrugged and went to press the buzzer.
"I wouldn't bother with the buzzer- he won't answer" came an informed voice.
"I agree" Beast exited in blue form and at everyone's look; "It might make Kurt feel a little more at ease".
"Or it might scare the crap outta him," Evan suggested but Beast ignored him and walked up to the door
"Kitty- you're assistance would be very much appreciated" the teacher hinted.
"Everyone hold on to me" she waited until everyone had put a hand on her and then she phased through the door, they all let go and continued walking in typical formation.
"It's the fourth floor" Logan sniffed the air to get his baring whilst Hank bounded on ahead in an impressive display of agility for someone who was quite large and well built.
Kitty, Scott and Evan ran after him and Wolverine calmly followed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kurt's entire spine throbbed and felt like he'd somehow managed to pull a muscle or something in his back, he half dragged himself and half crawled into the safety of his bedroom but didn't have the will power to actually get onto his bed, his sight came in and out of focus randomly; causing him to throw up.
He only managed to bring up fluid with an odd tint of blood, his metabolism was speeding up and down too fast for his body to adapt and he felt like he was on fire.
Then his eyesight focused again and he caught sight of his hands properly; three large blue fingers existed where there should have bee five normal skin-coloured fingers.
Kurt burst into tears; sobs and frustration racked his stinging body and then he simply collapsed unconscious to the floor as a new limb ripped from his lower back
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kitty phased the team through Kurt's appartment door, "Is this it?" she asked.
Wolverine sniffed the air, "Something doesn't smell right and there's blood"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*X-men gear- how do they always manage to change into their costume? - I mean Evan did it on his skateboard once!!
*X-vans computer- it has one now ;)
*We're the X-men and we can help anyone- Scott always has at least one cheesy line shrugs
Author (me!) : I'm off this week so with any luck i can make bigger updates.
Plz please please please review!!
