Xavier called all the X-men together.

"Louise is a mutant," he said

"But I thought that you said that she wasn't" said Scott

"Indeed I did Scott, but it appears that I was wrong" he gestured towards Kurt "Louise is in the middle of the process where your powers become their most powerful. This can be stressful and if the person has little control it can be disastrous." Xavier paused "Louise insists that she is human and she has a memory that would prove so," the others knew that Xavier would never go through someone's mind without their permission but this was important "from what I can tell, and from what Louise told us before, this man David gave her mutant powers. How he did it, I don't understand." Kitty spoke up.

"Does Kurt still have his powers?" Xavier looked to Kurt, he didn't know. Kurt teleported across the room, the relief showed on his face. "Then, like, what's the point?" she asked "It seems that her powers are a lot like Rogue's but." Kitty left it hanging.

Kurt sat down again.

BANG!

Everyone was propelled backwards; they looked up to see a blue translucent bubble.

"That's what Louise came out of!" cried Evan. The bubble folded on itself like it had done before and turned a fiery red, and then it seemed to dissolve until all you could see was a red outline, which seemed to glitter. The bubble spread out until it was the size of a large TV screen. Red, glittering images seemed to appear, they got clearer until they could also hear what was being said.

A tall man stood in front of Louise. She was in the same red evening dress but it was still in tact and Louise wasn't so beat up. Her arms were chained to the wall above her.

"Hmm," said the man "Now what should I do with you Louise?"

"Please, kill me, you'll be doing me a favour" she looked very angry and she was trying hard not to show how scared she was

"I don't think so, I think you'd like to see this" The locks came off the wall and Louise was dragged by her wrists towards him. She was then turned so that se stood next to him. The man turned around and pressed a button. A hologram appeared of a teenage boy carrying a school bag.

"Kurt! That's you!" exclaimed Kitty. Louise' mouth opened in horror, then she began to struggle in the cuffs

"No! He's just a child! Leave him alone!" she screamed

"I warned you!" the man yelled, "You knew that my next victim would be someone close to you!" he was angry too now

"You swore that you'd leave my family alone! Kurt's part of my family now!! Why must you prolong the pain?" Louise was on the verge of tears; she stopped struggling and slumped as far as the cuffs would let her

"Please David, spare him," a tear rolled down one cheek "for me."

"Sorry Louise, but it's too late. I will infect the mind of someone close to him, then under my power, I'll make them kill him." David thought for a moment "Perhaps I'll use Scott, he's one of Kurt's friends, I like watching when I make friends kill each other. It's very, entertaining" Louise began to shudder



"No" she whispered, so quietly that no one could hear her

"What did you say?" asked David with mock kindness

"I said: NO!!" Louise roared, she snapped the cuffs that were holding her as if they were made out of butter. She stepped forwards

"Stay back!" yelled David; he created a translucent force field between them. Louise paused for a moment, and then shattered it. David began to run away, Louise followed him

"What's the matter David?" she yelled "You wanted to create a human with mutant powers, it's not my fault I'm more powerful than you!" The bubble began to fade and shrink until it disappeared with a small pop.

"She's here to protect Kurt?" asked Rogue even though she knew the answer.

"She must be one loyal family member of family," laughed Evan "So, what relation is she to you?"

"I have no idea," said Kurt

"We'll have to ask her that when she comes to" said Xavier

"Comes to?"

"During this vision, Louise has been in a deep sleep, I am also very interested in what she said in that vision 'A Human with mutant powers'" there was a sound of breaking glass coming from the kitchen. They found Louise laid across the table; a glass full of milk had fallen off the edge of the table inches from her hands. Logan picked her up and took her back to her room.

"So professor, what are we going to do?" asked Scott.

"I'd quite like to have a look at seribro, the reading before was almost off the scale" Xavier left. Jean looked closely at Kurt

"This is really beginning to confuse you isn't it?" Kurt smiled sheepishly

"Yeah, guess" Kurt was still getting used to having five fingers; he was also, despite himself, missing his tail. He wondered how Louise was related to him, and how she knew so much about him if he didn't know her.

Louise woke up again at 7 the next morning. She stretched and wondered how she'd managed to get upstairs again. The last thing she remembered was going downstairs to get a drink. Louise found that she was getting more and more tired the more she tried to remember what had happened. She leant back on her pillows as Kitty came in

"Hey Louise come on! Everyone's having break-" Kitty's eyes bulged

"Okay, okay, so I look like road kill, I'll thank you not to point it out" Louise said groggily

"It's not that" said Kitty. Louise held up one hand; it was blue.

"Oh" she said simply, she closed her eyes for a second. When she opened them, she was still blue. "It appears that I'm going to be stuck like this for a while" she sighed

"Are you sure?" asked kitty, Louise's left eye went back to brown and the skin around it went back to normal

"Kurt's DNA is reacting very strangely with my own" replied Louise "I just wish he'd let me." Louise clutched her waist and moaned in pain "Kitty!" she cried out before falling out of her bed. Kitty ran to her side

"Louise? What is it?" asked Kitty

"I, don't, know" Louise gasped. Kitty tried to help her up but Louise would just double up in pain.

"I'm going to go and get help," said Kitty. She turned in time to see Louise do something very strange, she teleported.

"It must be weird not having to wear your watch anymore Kurt" said Scott. Kurt shoved the rest of his bacon in his mouth before he answered

"Every time he does that, I just want to be sick," sighed Rogue

"It is, I don't have to be worried about people feeling my fur or noticing my tail" Kurt swallowed "I'll tell you one thing, I am defiantly not going to miss the insults"

There was a scream from upstairs

"Kitty!" Rogue hushed. Kurt teleported upstairs, he found her in Louise's room.

"Kitty? What's wrong?" Kitty stared at him for a while

"You can teleport still can't you?" she asked

"Well, yeah" Kurt shrugged

"So can Louise" Kurt didn't know what to say

"Louise can teleport?" Kitty nodded

Rogue nibbled her bottom lip; she hoped that Kitty was okay. There was a puff of smoke, a smell of brimstone and a quiet "BAMF". Everyone expected it to be Kurt; it was Louise

"Ohhh! I didn't like that" she shuddered. Both her hands were grasping either side of the chair

"'Didn't like that at all"

"Louise? Woah! What happened to you?" asked Evan noticing the nice blue look she had going on.

"I need to change Kurt ba-AHHH!" Louise couldn't finish her sentence before she cried out in pain. Tears rolled down her cheeks

"Rogue! Get the Professor!" yelled Scott. Jean was sitting next to Louise. As she writhed in her seat, Jean put a finger to Louise's cheek. The amount of pure hysterical fear and pain that she got made her shudder. She searched for a happy memory so that she could bring it forward; she hoped that that would calm Louise down. She was surprised at how fast she found one. When she opened her eyes, the memory was being projected by another bubble. This had happened many years ago. There was another man; Louise seemed to be about nine. The man lifted her up on to his shoulders; the intense love that Louise felt for him indicated that he was her father.



"Where are we going Dad?" she asked

"Do you remember last year when the fair was on but you couldn't come to Germany because your mothers sister was in town?"

"Yeah, blaugh!" it was clear that Louise hadn't enjoyed it

"Well," her dad turned a corner, huge, bright light were visible "It's ba- ack!" Louise went mental

"Yes! I want to ride on the scariest ride there is! I wanna puke up!" her dad put her down

"Doesn't your mom let you go to these things?" Louise shook her short brown curls

"Nuh-uh" Her dad smiled

"Well then little missie, I think you need to be reacquainted with some German culture!" he kissed her forehead "Come on" A smile was on Louise's face as the memory disappeared. In its place came another Louise was in her twenties now; she was lying on her bed with her head hanging over end, looking at a friend. She looked very sick

"Ohhh! I think I overdid it!" Louise moaned



"I'll say you did!" laughed her friend "You've eaten twenty chocolate bars, five burgers and a load of French fries! There is such a thing as self restraint Louise!" Louise pulled her head up and turned around

"Hey! I've been in America for three weeks! Can you blame me for gorging myself?" they both laughed "Okay, I'll admit, their junk food is great and a single portion can feed a herd of buffalo, but their CHOCOLATE!" Louise made a face "Only 5% cocoa beans and you can taste it!" She turned a little green "I'm gonna' throw!" then she made a mad rush for the bathroom

"Steve's going to kill you," yelled the girl through the door "First you're away for weeks, now you've eaten your way through like, a million calories"

"That reminds me, have I been missed around the shooting star?" Louise suddenly threw up "ughh!"

"Duh! People are still turning up but they are always disappointed when we tell them that you're not here"



The image changed again

There was a tall man standing in front of Louise, unlike David, his smile shone full of happiness. You couldn't help but like him.



"So what are you saying" he asked

"What I'm saying is that David is on the rampage" Louise had a blanket around her and a mug of cocoa.



"Does little Kurt have anything to do with this?"

"OH yeah" Louise looked straight at him "LITTLE Kurt? Do you mind?! I find that offensive!" She took something out of the back pocket of her jeans. It was a photo of Kurt



"THIS is Kurt" the man took the photo

"Cute little thing isn't he" he joked

"That's not nice. Besides, I think he's sweet" The bubble disappeared. Louise began to change, parts of her were going back to normal but most of her stayed the same. Jean felt her tremble as the changes became more rapid. Jean was worried about whether Louise was going to survive this.
