I know that I left the last chapter on one heck of a cliff-hanger! This fic
is the only way I could get British characters into it without insulting
anyone (you'd understand if you read the first attempts)
I'm going on holiday so I won't be around for a week (not that anyone would notice -_-)
Don't own the x-men (but you knew that already why do I have to tell you?!) Mary's reaction to Kurt is human, I don't want to make her out to be more than normal so that involves a lot of screaming.

Suddenly a red blast knocked the gun out of josephs hand (I know I know, please don't complain).
The crowd gasped as one. Mary could barely believe what had happened
A cloud smelling of sulphur surrounded her an arm circled her waist and in another foul smelling cloud she was gone.
When Mary opened her eyes again she was outside, it was still terribly cold. She could see her own breath and the stars were reflected into the river Themes. The arm was still around her waist but it was loosening.
"How did I-?" Mary turned around. It was defiantly not the right lighting for Kurt. Half silhouetted by the moon he looked as if he'd come fresh out of hell. Mary screamed and sharply pushed herself away from her rescuer.
"Deamon!!" She screamed
"I really wish that people didn't react like that" Kurt sighed and put on a very patronising tone "Okay sweetie, we need to get you out of here. This is not a good place for you, I think you got that already, am I right?" Mary wished that she would stop shaking. Her fingers were freezing and tears were rolling down her cheeks that she hadn't let out until now.
"Home...I need to go home" she stuttered
"Ditto" he replied only half listening
"What are you?" She had meant to say 'who are you?' but the words got mixed up as they left her throat.
"I am so tired of that question" Kurt muttered "I'm human okay? Surprised?" The harshness of his voice made Mary hang her head in shame
"Sorry, I was meaning to ask who you are" she mumbled, realising how lame that sounded
"Whatever, I'm Nightcrawler" Mary was about to ask why he was called that but thought against it.
She stayed silent for a long time. Neither of them moved
"What are we doing?" She asked feebly
"Waiting for the signal" He said it as if it was obvious.
Mary was slowly freezing. She'd spent several hours in the tunnels and the temperature was very punishing. Kurt noticed and his harsh frown melted away. He took his thick coat off and put it around her.
"Thanks" she whispered gratefully. Under his coat he was wearing what looked strangely like red and black spandex. His yellow gloves caused Mary to notice his hands.
'You're staring' she thought to herself 'blink you idiot!! He's knows you're looking' Kurt could tell that she was staring but just turned away to admire the view.
The coat was unbelievably warm and eased her chill. Kurt stood around quite happily even though it was probably only 4 degrees.
"How can you not need an over coat? Are you covered in fur or something?" Mary joked
"Yes actually" he replied sullenly
'Did I hear that right?' Mary thought.
"Really?" she asked. There were blasts of red lights coming up from the top of the Tower Bridge.
"That's the signal, lets go" Without another word he grabbed Mary's wrist and teleported them both onto the bridge.
The x-jet was parked on top of the metal structure
"Is that legal?" Mary asked absentmindedly
"You wanna' get out of here or not?" a tall man asked her.
"Uh, guys? There are a lot of angry looking people down there" Evan indicated towards the crowd of people on the bridge.
"What?" Mary looked over the edge, a woman began to fly up towards her
"Join us!" The woman yelled as she rose
"Never!" Mary screamed back.
"Everybody get into the x-jet!" Logan yelled.
Mary hung back for a while longer
"Kid! Get here!" Logan cried. Mary stumbled up and began to run towards the jet.
Behind her she heard a blast, suddenly there was a terrible pain just to the left of her shoulder. Mary fell like a stone.
Logan ran to her, lifted the girl onto his shoulders and ran back to the jet.
The woman hovered and watched as they left and flew off.
"Jokes on you!! You've clearly got the wrong kid!" She laughed.

"How's she doing?" the professor asked
"Lost quite a bit of blood Chuck but she'll last 'till we get back to the mansion" Logan replied
"That was sweet of you Kurt, giving her your coat, it was freezing out there" Kitty said
"I didn't need it, I only wore it because it hid my hands and face if I wore the hood up" Kurt shrugged
The X-jet was now crossing the Atlantic ocean and because of the sheer speed that the x-jet could reach Bayville was only a matter of hours away (as in 2).
