.+. Chapter Five: Rogue Spying and Finding Answers .+.
That morning Kurt woke up rather early and looked out of the window. It was still a gray sky, with small claps of thunder appearing here and there. The clouds were thick and dark. It was clear a storm was coming. No wonder classes were postponed.
Kurt made his usual way downstairs to join the rest of the X-men for breakfast, and when he passed by Kitty who was phasing her way downstairs, he couldn't help but smile at her, and Kitty smiling back. Kurt still clearly remembered what happened the other day. He still remembered the words Kitty said to him. Kurt sighed a very happy sigh and continued running down the stairs.
"Oh Hello Kurt!" Jean greeted cheerfully before flipping her hair behind her.
"'Lo, Elf." Logan said, raising an eyebrow at carefree Jean Grey.
Kurt raised an eyebrow himself. Logan didn't usually greet him. Logan would usually walk past him mumbling 'Elf..' and then continue on with his business. 'Okay…' Kurt thought. 'This is only too weird.'
As he sat down in his usual place in the breakfast table, he could see Kitty smiling at him again. Kurt blushed and smiled back. For such a dull-looking morning, it seemed that the day would go pretty okay. Rogue, who was beside Kitty, seemed to have noticed the two. She nudged Kitty hard on the ribs.
"Ow, Rogue!" Kitty shouted. "That, like, really hurt."
"Whatevah." Rogue said. "It looks lahk you an Kurt are doin pretty well, eh?"
Kitty blushed. "Wh-What?"
Rogue smirked. "No need hiding it from me, sugah. Aftah all Ah was the one who gave you advice about apologizing to Kurt. You did it pretty well yesterday in the living room."
"What do you mean? Rogue, like, how did you know I apologized yesterday – and where I did it too!" Asked Kitty, sounding pretty alarmed.
'Uh-Oh.' Rogue thought. 'Busted! Rogue you stupid fool, you and your big mouth! You just HAD to say that, didn't you?'
"WELL?" Kitty said, attracting everyone's attention already. "Have you been spying on me?"
"Kitty, Kitty c-calm down! A-Ah….Uh..Ah was just…Ah…" Rogue stammered. Her eyes darted quickly to Kurt, but Kurt just looked back both blankly and alarmed at her. He was blushing rather heavily but having blue fur that was really hard to show.
But for Kitty, it was clearly visible. She stood up from her seat and pointed at Rogue. "EURGH! Rogue, I, Like, TOTALLY don't believe you! How could you just, like, spy on me like that!"
"L-Listen, sugah: A-Ah wasnt spying on ya, its just that yer voices could be heard from outsahde ((outside)) the livin room since thar's no door an' all an' Ah just overheard ya, but not on purpose! Ah'd never do that to ya!" Rogue replied frantically, and her words were very quick yet shaky. Kitty glanced at Kurt, and Kurt at Kitty, and they both sighed and shrugged.
"Good enough. I guess that happens sometimes." Kitty sighed, calming down and taking her seat once again.
'Whew' Rogue thought. 'Good thing they didn't see into me too easily. Whew! But actually" it was really not like me to spy on them….'
Kurt woke up form his state of shock and turned to Rogue, giving her a very suspicious look. He glanced back at Kitty, and then at the rest of the X mutants, whose eyes were all on the embarrassed Kitty, and then at the uneaten plate of bacon in front of himself ((kurt)).
"Vhat a strange day…"

Later, Kurt sat on his bed, staring blankly outside the window. It was the same gray, dull sky. Drops of rain fell on the window as they sank lower. Kurt turned to look at a certain spot on the wall. That used to be where the mirror was. Kurt smiled a tad bit and walked over to the spot. Surprisingly, not everything was cleaned up. Just near Kurt's feet, there lay a piece of the mirror he had shattered the day before. He picked it up and gazed at his incomplete reflection. He stared at it for quite a long time, but this time, he was smiling.
"I broke ze mirror. Heh. Zat means bad luck for me. Nice one, Kurt." Despite the sarcasm, Kurt was strangely glad. If he hadn't shattered the mirror like he did the other day, he would have never heard those beautiful words from Kitty. Never. He sighed a sigh of deep relief and hid the piece of the mirror inside his drawer before flopping onto his bed and staring at the ceiling.
"…Now vat vas I going to do again…?"
He stared blankly on, trying to refresh his memory at what he had planned to do a day ago. He just couldn't remember.
"I sink I remember. I had to meet someone…but who?"
He brooded on. Who was he going to meet? And then it hit him again. Fire. The mob. Himself tied onto the pole. Burning… Screaming…
He bolted up from his position, now fully remembering.
"Now I remember…Mozzer!" He muttered, casting a dark look at the doorway and then leaving his room only to teleport himself out of the mansion.
***
There stood Kurt, drenched by the rain, all wet, in the same construction site where Mystique changed his life forever. He remembered as if it was only yesterday. The day Mystique told Kurt that she was his mother. It was a very big shock to all, but most of the shock came of course to Kurt, and he had fill right to be shocked indeed.
"…Vhy am I standing here? Ach.. How do I even know vhere to find her? Kurt, you fool. She can't possibly be here.." Kurt said, looking up at the gloomy and grey sky. There was only one reason he was there. Answers. But much to his surprise, of course, a reply came.
"Son? What are you doing here?"
Kurt turned his view to the bluish-skinned lady who was behind him. "M-Muzzer ((mother))! Vas are you doing here? I never Sought ((thought)) you vould come here again!"
"And I thought the same about you. What brings you here?"
Kurt glared at Mystique, otherwise known as Raven Darkholme, and then calmed down a little.
"M…Muzzer…I…I came..for…for answers.."
Mystique raised a brow. "For Answers?" She asked suspiciously. Kurt nodded slowly, not removing his glare from the person he least expected was even related to him.
"Well?" Raven asked, her expression now more calm.
"I..I haff to ask…….I-its about that time….b-back in Deutschland – I mean Germany.." Kurt couldn't help stammering as he shifted his view to some pebbles on the ground, which was now soaked by rain.
Mystique cast a suspicious look. "Why would you ask me something that I have nothing to do with, son?"
"…Don't call me that." Kurt hissed sharply, he was getting a bit angrier. How could Mystique look so calm at a time like this? "I…I know you somehow haff an answer to all zis.."
Mystique sighed and put her hands on Kurt's shoulder, Kurt brushing her hands away and avoiding them.
"I…I know you were zhere. SOMEHOW I just know. Z-zhat time ze villagers t-tried to.."
Mystique gave a rather panicked look. And then there was silence. Kurt glared straight at Mystique, and Mystique at Kurt. And then Kurt broke the silence.
"Vell? Tell me! I..I only vant to know…. I want to know if zhe villagers tried to burn me to death, Zhen how come Im still alive now? Vhy am I not dead? Tell me please. I…I.."
Mystique laid a finger on Kurt's mouth.
"Yes, son.. I was there. After I knew that you were found and taken in, I stayed in Germany for a few more weeks to see you…I wanted to see you so badly. When the villagers tried to kill you, before you were even burned to death, you had teleported out of the way."
Kurt nodded, no whe fully understood, He HAD teleported away. But then..
"B-But Mozzer! I-if you vere zhere, V-Vhen zhe villagers tried to….Zhen vhy didn't you save me? Vhy didn't you protect me?" Kurt asked, angrily. How could Mystique do this? If Mystique even loved Kurt as a son (if she did o___o) then why didn't she protect him all those times he was hurt and tortured?
"S-son I…"
"V…Vhy, Mozzer? You..You mean you just let zhem TORTURE me like zhat, you just let zhe ozzer kids throw stones at me, call names at me- and you let zhe ozzer villagers try and BURN me to death? M-Mozzer…How could you…" Kurt's eyes were wet, and his expression was VERY furious. He turned his back to Mystique.
"…Son….." Mystique began calmly, a look of distress on her face. Kurt turned sharply to look at her again, his golden eyes burning with rage.
"Don't…you…EVER…call me zhat…again."
"B-but son! I-Im sorry the villagers tortured you. If Only I came to save you from Magneto's DNA testing earlier I- Mystique covered her mouth with her hands suddenly. "Oh no- I- I.."
Kurt's look of anger turned into shock, and then suddenly its as if Kurt was on fire.
"VHAT DO YOU MEAN 'DNA TESTING'!!? YOU MEAN YOU LET Z-ZHAT FREAK TURN ME INTO A MONSTER JUST LIKE ZHAT! YOU MEAN I WOULD HAVE HAD A NORMAL LIFE IF IT WASN'T FOR- for…" Kurt turned his back to Mystique again. His fists were clenched very tightly, and his fangs were bared. His tail was swishing furiously.
"Son….I….I-Im sorry..I tried to save you, but Magneto wont- wont…" But Kurt cut off Mystique quickly.
"I told you…NEVER…to call me 'son' again……" And with a soft 'Bamf', he was gone. Mystique's eyes watered as she was left in the empty construction site, and as the rain stopped, she began to sob quietly. (Im sorry, I just had to xDD)
***
Kurt was back in his room again, hanging upside down from his ceiling lamp which was turned off. The only source of light was the light entering Kurt's room from his open door. 'How could she…that....that…that..' Kurt thought, there was still a look of deep anger in his face. Just then, he heard a voice in his head that made him fall of the ceiling lamp and onto the floor on his behind with a loud, sickening 'THUD'.
[Kurt. Kurt?] The Professor's voice rang inside Kurt's head.
"Owww…man, zhat hurts.." Kurt said sitting up straight. "Pro- professor?"
[Talk to me using your mind, Kurt, not your mouth.] The Professor corrected.
[Huh? Oh. Ja… Professor, vhy did you just ring in my head all of a sudden?]
[I know where you went and what you did there, Kurt. At first when I sensed your teleportation in Cerebro I knew something was going on.] The Professor said.
[V-v-vas? Professor, vhy?] Kurt thought.
[Kurt, Mystique never meant it for you to be this way. There is no reason to hate her.]
[Zhere IS a reason, professor! She just let zhat monster turn me into a freak of nature! She let Zhose villagers torture me! She—But Kurt was cut off.
[-She didn't want it to be that way, either, Kurt. She couldn't stop Magneto. It couldn't be helped. And about those villagers, she tried to save you, too. But she couldn't risk her exposure.] The Professor said reassuringly.
Kurt remained silent. Was all this really true? It just couldn't be.
[AAAAAACH! Zhis is already too much. Too many verdamnt misunderstandings, too many verdamnt mysteries – I break a mirror, I burst out on my mozzer, HONESTLY professor, Im sorry for all zhis but I..I…. I really have to get some sleep!] And with this Kurt broke off the telepathic communication and jumped onto his bed, pulling the sheets way on top of him and shutting his eyes, without even bothering to change his clothes.
***
Later, it was at around 12:00 in the morning and there was supposedly school tomorrow. Kurt lay wide awake in his bed, looking blankly at his ceiling…again.
'Maybe the professor was right…' Kurt thought.
'Maybe Mystique DID try and save me…'
He climbed out of his bed and looked out at the dawning sky. He remembered when Rogue had explained that cream she had of Kurt one day.
"Mystique HAD tried to save me…" Kurt mumbled, a deep look of guilt spread deeply all over his eyes. He paused for a few minutes, lost in his own thoughts. After he snapped out of his daze, he looked back at the sky. "…schön…" ((beautiful)) he muttered, looking at the relaxing color of reddish-purple with a nice, peaceful blend of deep orange.
"Maybe Mystique deserves to be called my mozzer after all…" he said, the guilt suddenly vanishing, and in replace, a nice feeling inside, as a smile crept upon his lips.
He was going to figure it all out by tomorrow. Tomorrow, he was going to settle everything.
THE END…FOR NOW.
((AN: That is it. Im sorry I wasn't able to update to early…School gets in the way of EVERYTHING.
