Chapter 1: Curiosity
Author's Notes: This is my first fic so be nice. I do not own X-men Evolution or any of the characters. They belong to Stan Lee. This story is meant to be funny and should not be taken seriously by any means. This isn't the funniest part of it, but trust me I'll have you rolling by the end of this. So without further adieu here it is...

Kurt drug himself from the Danger Room as sweat dripped from his brow. The Danger Room activities had been particularly strenuous today. He had been awakened by Wolverine at the butt crack of dawn who felt that a level three training simulation was in order. He, Scott and "Red" had made their way to what Kurt had dubbed "the torture chamber". The workout that ensued put several holes in the walls and left the floor littered with wires, shrapnel and hunks of twisted metal.
As he pulled his fatigued body down the hallway towards his room a strange thought popped into his tired and weary mind. How did the mansion stay in tip top condition, when almost every Danger Room activity ended with the machines being completely leveled? Every morning when they woke up for their session the room was in perfect shape. He had never seen any construction workers and he knew that The Professor, Wolverine, Storm and Beast didn't clean it up.
Who or what could fix the daily destruction that took place inside the institute?
As Kurt dwelled on this thought, he realized that no one else had ever commented on the house's rapid reconstruction. With a curious glance at the Danger Room he headed down the hall to The Professor's chamber. If anyone knew how the house was repaired it would be him. After all, he did own it and seemed to be aware of every move that took place inside the mansion walls.
Kurt headed for the office, but as he walked past one of the many open doors something caught his eye...
He peeked his head inside the room that Kitty and Rogue shared and smiled devilishly.
Rogue was sitting on the edge of her bed and was passionately kissing what seemed to be a picture of Scott. Kurt grinned at his older sister's pathetic crush.
She knew she could never compete with Jean, but that still hadn't stopped her from completely lusting after Scott since she'd first met him.
As Rogue released the picture from her adoring embrace, she turned her head in his direction. At that moment her face transformed into an expression of pure embarrassment? ...anger? ...hatred? ...all of the above?
"Kurt! Get out of here, you annoying elf!" She shouted at him.
"Does Roguey have a crush?" Kurt said in sing-song, thoroughly enjoying this, "I'd better go tell Scott."
Rogue ran towards him, "You'd better not, Kurt or Ah'm gonna pulverize you!"
"Ahhh, but you'll have to catch me first." Kurt said with a smirk.
*Bamf*
"You are so dead!" Rogue yelled angrily.
Kurt stood behind her on the bed, she didn't even realize he was still within ear shot.
She turned around and jumped at the sight of him.
"I think I'll take Scott vith me." Kurt said happily.
"You're such an annoying little brother!" Rogue said lunging at him.
*Bamf*
Next stop the Professor's office, Kurt thought with a grin. Then Kurt looked down at the photograph of Scott that was completely smudged with black lipstick. Kurt folded the picture and slipped it in his jean pocket. He'd give it back eventually..... for a price. If he could blackmail his older sister life wasn't worth living.
He was just a few feet away now. Before Kurt could even take a hold of the bronze doorknob a voice echoed through his head...
/Kurt, what's seem to be the trouble?/
Kurt opened the office door and stepped inside. Bright sunlight filled his vision and he squinted against the intense glare. Xavier sat behind his mahogany desk as usual, shuffling through papers and folders. Kurt was in this office a lot, due to his practical jokes that no one seemed to find amusing except him. This was where punishment was dealt out.
/What's on your mind?/
Kurt stepped closer and slipped into the leather chair across from him, "You're telepathic, you tell me."
"You want to know how the damage to the institute is repaired."
Kurt smiled knowing that his question would soon be answered, "So you know then?"
Xavier narrowed his eyes and then opened his mouth to speak, "Actually.........no. I haven't the slightest idea how the mansion is repaired. I just assumed that I shouldn't ask as long as the job gets done."
"Vhat!?!" Kurt exclaimed as his jaw hit the floor, "Vhat kind of answer is that?"
"I'm sorry, Kurt, but there are some things even I don't have answerers for. But I'll tell you what I would do if I were you...forget about this. There are some things in life that no one should know."
"No! I vill no accept that. I must know the truth." Kurt marched out of the office with a new determination. He would know the truth, even if it killed him. But first...
He'd pull Scott into it, that way if he got in trouble later, Scott would go down with him.
