Heya!! From now on each chapter will either be told from Kitty's point of
view or Kurt's. This is my first ever Kurtty fic so please tell me if you
don't like something. I will change parts if you don't like it!
By the way. I got a review asking why I've called this fic America Vs Germany. The reason is because Kitty (America) and Danielle (Germany) both feel that they are opponents for Kurt's affections (America Vs Germany geddit?!) ^_^

Kurt hadn't been able to take in what Danielle had told him. Every single house had been burnt down.
His parents had been taken with the entire population of the small German village.
"Why?" he asked no one
"Why what Kurt?" Rogue asked. They were all still standing around him and Danielle
"My hometown, it's been destroyed" he said faintly. There was a very long silence.
"Kurt? Are you alright?" the last voice was Xavier
"I'm, I'm.." he couldn't get the words out.
"Kurt?" he looked down at his cousin. She looked terrified and lost. When they were younger all she'd have needed was a hug to put things right again but this was so big!
"Who did this Danny? " He asked
"Ben Franz" Danielle replied "A mutant who was thrown out of our village because he tried to kill lots of people. He wants me to take you to him but I won't because I'm not going to let you die"
Kurt noticed that as she said the last part, her eye twitched. Could it be that his little cousin had been forced into coming to America?
"Danielle? Are you okay? You seem a little." Kurt knew that he was ignoring the others but for the moment Danielle was the only one who mattered to him.
"I'm fine. really, " Danielle laughed nervously
"Kurt?" Professor Xavier called Kurt's attention "Would you mind asking your cousin to lift her shirt up slightly?"
Kurt didn't understand why but he did as he was told
"Why?!" Asked Danielle. The fear in her voice told Kurt that something was wrong.
"Just do it Danielle" he replied
"I won't and you can't make me! " She cried.
Seeing the hurt expression on her cousins face, Danielle paused. She hated to make Kurt worried or angry but she didn't want him to think that she wouldn't tell him things that might be important in getting their parents back.
Slowly Danielle raised her shirt and showed Kurt one of the few marks of her torture.
A hand had been burned onto her skin. The skin was raw and looked unbelievably painful. The hand was right across her stomach but it looked like it was becoming infected.
She'd need to see a doctor quickly
Danielle hung her head because she didn't want to see the looks of pity she knew she was going to receive.
"Who did this to you" everyone felt the anger in Kurt's voice, even those who didn't understand what he'd just said
"Mindbender" Danielle replied "Another mutant"
"A mutant did this to her" Kurt translated sullenly
"Kurt, are you sure you're okay. You look like your gonna faint any second" said Rogue
"I'm fine, you should be asking my cousin that" Kurt snapped before turning back to Danielle "Why does this guy want to talk to me? "
"I-I asked him once and he said he had to discuss something to do with our families to you" Danielle said "I asked why he didn't tell me. He said that I was too young and besides, he had no respect for women"
Kurt smiled the briefest smile as she got angry and how sexist Ben Franz clearly was.
Danielle began to worry if he was going to help her.
"Kurt, I can't go back alone, I'll die! " Her voice rose as she began to panic.
"We can't go back alone either. The professor will help us, I'm sure of it" Kurt looked back over to Xavier and his friends
"I think Danielle's been tortured by two mutants called Mindbender and Ben Franz" he explained "Ben Franz sent her here to get me so that he could talk with me about something. He has taken everyone in my village hostage" There was a long silence.
"Firstly, Kurt would you escort Danielle to the infirmary. Those burns need to be seen to" Both Danielle and Kurt disappeared in a puff of sulphuric smoke.
In the infirmary Danielle relaxed. They were going to help her and not just her cousin.
"This is going to get complicated" Kurt sighed
"You mean because I don't understand English and they don't understand German? Trust me I know" Danny sat down on the examining table
"You do trust me, don't you Danny?" their eyes locked
"Of course I do! How can you ask that!" She cried
"Then trust me now; Xavier will help us get our family back and if he doesn't we'll do it together" Danielle smiled for the first time in what seemed like months. She had missed her cousin terribly.
Kurt sat down next to her and put his warm arms around Danielle's cold shoulders. Feeling finally safe Danielle returned the hg. They sat like that until Mr McCoy came in.
"Let's take a look at those burns then" he said cheerfully as they let go of each other.
