I do not own the X-men
I owe the flashback thing half way through to Girlie girl, I am replacing this chapter because I didn't mention this in the last one and I broke my promise to her. Very sorry GG, you are the best fan fiction writer on this planet.
Please go and read her fics now!!!
Wait a sec, um, read mine first please!

Logan laid Kurt down on the sofa.
"He'll be fine," he muttered
"Good" Danielle said quietly
"It's so weird hearing you speak the same way as us," Evan laughed
"The feeling's mutual" Danielle muttered as she walked out of the room
"Where's she going?" Scott asked
Danielle returned soon after carrying a tin of maple syrup and honey.
"What're those for?" Kitty asked
"Kurt's going to be hungry when he wakes up, I might as well see if he can reacted to food yet" Danielle shrugged. She took a spoon a put a small amount of honey on to it. Danielle tipped it slightly so that it went into Kurt's mouth "This usually works"
"Why do I get the feeling you've done this before?" Evan wondered
"It's the easiest way to wake Kurt up in the morning" Danielle replied simply, she forgot that she was a few feet from a telepath and Jean picked up on her lie.
Danielle bit her lip when Kurt didn't react.
"Time to get the big guns out" she muttered and picked up the maple syrup "If he doesn't even try to eat this I swear I'll give up" she said seeing Logan's expression
This time Kurt's tongue moved slightly when the spoon was placed in his mouth
"Typical, what else would revive him?" Groaned Rogue
"He's not revived yet, he's semi conscious. Kurt's done a lot better than I expected but he won't be able to port for a while yet." Sighed Danielle
"Better check his eyes aren't diluted" Logan moved forwards to lift Kurt's eye lids up
"Wait!" Danielle warned him
"Rarr!!" Logan roared in shock, Kurt's eyes were completely white. He looked as though he was blind.
"Kurt has Mindbenders eyes, for the next few days she'll be able to see" Danielle explained
"Mindbenders blind?" Jean sounded surprised
"Yes" Danielle replied "Evan when Kurt gets his eye sight back she'll still be using his eyes"
"You seem to know a lot about this" Logan noticed
"Yep, she did it to me" Danielle shuddered at the memory.
"Her powers seem amazing but I don't quite understand" Kitty blushed. For a second it looked as if Danielle was going to give her an insult but thought about it for a while.
"When she does this" she indicated towards Kurt "She absorbs all the persons memories fears everything, kinda' like Rogues powers. The thing is that she can create illusions, which are unbelievably realistic. Mindbender can make you relive your worst nightmares and torture you in awful ways" again Danielle shuddered at the memory.
It was late night by this point and Logan wanted the others up early the next day so they were all sent to bed. There were just about enough beds to go around with almost everyone sleeping top and tail. The boys had point blank refused to sleep in Danielle's room (and would you believe it? She'd painted it blue!). Evan had what looked surprisingly like a seizure when he accidentally opened her underwear drawer when Danielle had asked him to pass her a jumper.
Danielle refused to sleep and remained beside her cousin, never tiring. When everyone was asleep she sang quietly to him remembering how Kurt had always enjoyed her voice.
"Please wake up soon Kurt," She whispered when he hadn't moved for six hours "No offence but your friends still think I'm crazy even though we're speaking the same language. Guess there's no pleasing people huh?"
He didn't reply
"You've gotta' wake up Kurt. Mindbender, she's gonna' show everyone your memories; the awful ones that will make your friends pity you. I know how much you hate that."
He didn't reply but Danielle was sure he'd heard her.

Each one of the x-men was in deep sleep as this happened. At the same time they shared a dream, a dream that would alter how they saw Kurt forever.
*Flashback*
"[Hurry, they'll catch us.]"
"[Quick into that cave.]"
Two children run into a cave nearby. The boy was eight and a half while the girl had only just turned seven.
A mob stopped a few feet away from the cave, the children held each other close and prayed.
"[Where'd the demon go]"one of the men yelled.
"[I think it went this way]"said a boy around sixteen pointing in the opposite direction of the cave.
"[Lets get it!!!]"They all yelled as they ran quickly into the distance
The seven-year-old girl poked her head out to see if the coast was clear. She had long, blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. She seemed to be tired and her breathing shuddered in her chest.
"[I think were safe now]"she said turning to her cousin.
Her cousin was a lot different looking from. He was covered in fine blue fur; he had three fingers on each hand, two toes on each foot, a spaded tail, light yellow eyes and fangs.
The boy's appearance only surprised the girl because he was now supporting cuts, bruises, a black eye and a bloody lip.
"[Are you okay Kurt? Some of those cuts look pretty deep.]" asked his worried cousin,
"[I am fine Danielle.]"Kurt said before bursting into tears.
"[Kurt!! What's wrong?]"Danielle said while rushing up to her cousin.
"[What's wrong!]"He said between the sobs."[What's wrong is I almost got you killed! Who knows what they could have done to you if we hadn't got out of there.]"
"[Kurt...]"said Danielle starting to get worried.
All Kurt wanted was to get out of the house for a while. He led such a sheltered life. He had been begging her for weeks to sneak him out. She didn't see the harm in taking him outside just once. But as soon as they got near the village a bunch of townspeople saw Kurt and started to beat him up calling him a demon and a freak. Danielle got them to leave Kurt alone by jumping on one of the men's back and biting his neck.
While he cursed in pain they ran for it and got to this cave.
"[Danielle.....]"said Kurt not looking up.
"[Yeah Kurt]"she said softly as thought trying not to frighten him.
He looked and said"[Well... never mind it's nothing lets go home.]" Danielle nodded as the two of them left silently for home.
