Kurt opened his eyes very slowly. His head was pounding as he sat up.

"Where am I?" he wondered out loud. This was not his room and Kurt tried to piece together what had happened. He instantly remembered the two men who had drugged him which explained how he had got here.

Kurt managed to get up and stumbled over to the window. The endless countryside seemed to be mocking him; Kurt did not have a clue where he was.

"Wait a sec, does American countryside look like that?" Kurt realized that talking to yourself is the first sign of madness but the more he thought about it the less likely it seemed that he was still in America. A group of swallows flew overhead as Kurt noticed how hilly the terrain was, the room itself seemed to be on a hill.

"That's it I'm getting' out of here" Kurt tried to teleport outside but nothing happened. He tried again but still nothing. It didn't even work when he just tried to teleport to the other side of the room. Kurt was powerless.

After what seemed like hours the door was thrown open and a man walked in, he wore all white and was carrying a girl in his arms. She was quickly laid on the single bed

"It was a close one, she had a massive heart attack but amazingly she has recovered tremendously" it took Kurt a minute before he realized that the man wasn't talking to him. A second man walked in, a man who Kurt instantly recognised

"Magneto!" He yelled and attempted a lunge but two men ran in and restrained him.

"Good morning Kurt, how are you feeling?"

"What have you done to me?!" Kurt yelled

"I would have thought that even you would have been able to guess Mr. Wagner. I have rendered you completely and utterly without mutant powers" They both glared at each other for a while. Kurt looked at the pale girl on the bed, Magneto followed his gaze "It's quite a shame really, the experiment failed and in the process the poor child was almost killed. I suppose that we'll have to undo this problem next time."

'Next time?' thought Kurt 'What's this experiment he's talking about and how come I'm involved?' Magneto turned and left. Kurt was pushed down onto the floor and by the time he got up the door was closed again.

Kurt looked at the girl on the bed. She had light blond hair and a few freckles across her nose and cheeks. Her skin was unbelievably pale and Kurt wondered when was the last time she had been outside. It was getting relatively dark now so

Kurt tried to find the most comfortable spot on the floor and fell slowly into a deep sleep.

He had horrible dreams that everyone had forgotten him and hat he'd die in the cell. One dream had included him escaping after about ten years; he had found Kitty who had greeted him with a simple

"Who are you?" Kurt had tried to tell her who he was. When she finally recognised him she said "Oh! Kurt! We wondered where you had gone! I must call Lance!"

"Lance?" Kurt had asked as kitty turned inside the house that they were talking outside of

"Lance! Kids!" within a minute Lance and two little children had come outside

"It's you! The freak!" Lance had yelled and suddenly he'd had a gun and fired a point Blanc shot at Kurt accompanied by the two children who were chanting

"Kill the freak! Kill the freak!" Finally Kurt opened his eyes and saw two more staring down at him.

"Ahh!" He cried out in shock

"Ahh!" Was echoed straight back at him and the girl's head disappeared under the covers.

Kurt sat up and looked at the strange bundle in front of him. As he reached out to lift the covers back the whole thing winced and he heard a muffled voice

"Don't touch me" Kurt's hand froze and the usual feeling of shame and disgust swept over him but then she said something unexpected "I'm a freak!!" Kurt would have burst out laughing if she hadn't been serious.

"Yeah, right" he sad sarcastically

"Exactly" She mumbled "I'm a freak and you probably don't want anything to do with me," another urge to laugh crept over him but Kurt stifled it. Obviously this girl was insane or something but she sounded fine to him.

"I'mean," the girl continued "I've only really met two people in my life,"

'Huh?!' Kurt thought suddenly 'Did I just hear that right?'

"But the one who looked like me was evil and hurt me. You and the other blue woman,"

'What's going on here?! Mystique was here and all!'

"You didn't do anything wrong but he hurt you too. Then everything went dark and I woke up here" Kurt paused

"What's your name?" he asked

"The man called me Chrissa" she replied

"I'm Kurt, we've got to find a way out of here"

"Why?" Chrissa asked, "So that I can finally realized how much of a freak I am?" Kurt suddenly snapped

"Can we cut the crap!? We both know that I'm the freak and you're normal so will you please stop rubbing my face in it!?" he yelled.

Chrissa went completely silent and Kurt was surprised to see tears running down her face

"Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't' mean to shout" he apologized

"I don't understand anything anymore! I thought that this was all there was to life but everything has changed!" Chrissa sobbed.

Kurt got up.

"Haven't you ever left here?" he asked

"Only once and the scary man put me in a big.thing and everything suddenly hurt" she said quietly.

"You mean a machine?" Kurt asked. Chrissa nodded.

"You're not a freak Chrissa and I'm going to get us out of here no matter what"
