Soz this took a while, please forgive me!
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Kurt was eating slowly, thoughts were rolling around inside his head that were very worrying.
Katie seemed suspicious to him, she'd accepted everything too easily. She hadn't been scared of him, she hadn't asked any questions and although she was very young she didn't seem suspicious at all.
He hadn't told Chrissa this, Kurt doubted she'd ever be able to understand what he was worrying about. He was just uneasy and wanted to see the X-jet land as soon as possible. Kurt's tail swished around in the hay as he got more and more agitated. He looked up and saw that Chrissa was staring at it, clearly fighting every urge to stoop and try to catch it the way little children did.
Katie had gone away for a moment and Kurt decided that he definitely didn't trust her. He didn't know that mystique had also lost her powers and thought that that girl could be his own backstabbing mother.
"We're moving" Kurt whispered and helped Chrissa to her feet. She was reacting badly to the sunstroke and clutched her head as if in agony "I know, I know" Kurt apologised under his breath as she whimpered "I'm sorry but we have to go"
"Kurt, Kurt, Kurt!" Chrissa was now shaking too.
"Come on Chrissa!" Kurt hissed not noticing how desperate she sounded. He wouldn't allow her to stop until they had moved as far away from Katie's home as possible. They were now sitting in a field, behind some hay stacks.
"Kurt!" Chrissa gasped feeling that she'd been quiet long enough
"What?" Kurt asked, trying not to snap at her
"I feel odd" She said quietly and Kurt looked at her properly.
Half her face was blue, Chrissa left eye had turned completely white and a third of her hair was gradually turning a darker shade of blue.
"What's happening?" Chrissa asked, obviously scared
"I......Don't know" Kurt shook his head in disbelief
What was going on?
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
"They're 'ere" a man said down the line at that exact moment "I saw them crawl into ma stables. The gel's lookin' after them, ah told her not to let 'em outta her sight"
"Thank you Mr Cook," Magneto's silky voice came back down the line "I'll be there in a moment"
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
"What on Earth is happening to you?" Kurt whispered
"How should I know?" Chrissa asked honestly "I was hoping you would"
"No, it's a rhetorical question" Kurt said "That's when you ask a question that you don't need an answer for"
"Why would you ask a question if you don't need an answer?" she asked in a confused tone
"I'm not sure but it's like thinking out loud, I don't expect you to know what's happening to you" Kurt explained
"Okay" Chrissa said slowly
"You're not changing now" Kurt noticed
"I'm not?" she asked
"no" Kurt replied
"Oh good, I'd prefer to be myself when I meet this X-jet you keep talking about, otherwise it might get confused" Chrissa seemed to believe that the X-jet was alive and Kurt decided to let her think that until he could show her himself.
"Hey, shush" Kurt whispered
"Shush?" Chrissa asked not bothering to keep her voice down
"It means be quiet" Kurt hissed "Stay here, I'm gonna move towards Katie's house again"
Being as silent as possible, Kurt moved towards one of the hedgerows and looked towards the house. He saw three men in white uniforms and...
"Magneto" Kurt hissed to himself
He was just about near enough to listen to hear the conversation, or at least the part that Katie's father was saying
"Sorry, they go' away...My daugh'er needed...loo...came back an' they were gone"
Magneto wrung his hands in anger and said something very quietly to the man
"We know about your specimens sir...when you first got here...told us...always on the look out if one escaped we was"
Kurt began moving backwards towards Chrissa. He'd been right, the whole town was ready to pass them over to Magneto thinking that he was doing research experiments. They wouldn't be able to risk letting any more of the villagers see them. He suddenly remembered Chrissa and moved back through the grass to where she was sitting.
"Are we going back?" She asked
"No, those people are very bad" Kurt said simply "In fact, everyone in this place is bad. They think that man doing these things to us is a good thing"
"Why would they think that!?" Chrissa cried, very upset
"He lied to them" Kurt hushed her "They just happened to believe him, they don't know how wrong they are"
"Couldn't we tell them the truth?" Chrissa asked
"We're a lot younger than him and people tend to believe older people more" Kurt sighed
"That makes no sense," Chrissa said stubbornly
"This world doesn't" Kurt sighed "I'm afraid you're just going to have to learn that"
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
"We're beginning the final descent" Logan announced "Everyone get ready"
The few hours had felt like a lifetime to Kitty and she struggled out of her seat before they had landed and phased through the side panel.
"HALF PI-!" she heard Logan roar as she leapt and landed neatly on the grass below her. She'd fallen quiet a way but those gymnastic lessons Kurt had given her were finally paying off.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Kurt and Chrissa sat in silence for a very long time. Chrissa was unbothered; she'd grown up in silence but Kurt felt as though he was tensing up from the inside
"Where are they??" he suddenly hissed
"How would-? Oh! This is another one of you're unanswered questions" Chrissa tilted her head, proud that she'd gotten something right "A rhetorical one"
"Yes, we-!" Kurt paused "Chrissa, how did you remember that? I only told you once"
"I don't know" she said simply
Kurt made a mental note to tell the professor about Chrissa's amazing memory. It may have something to do with the tests done on them.
"KURT??"
Kurt's whole body froze at Kitty's voice, he could just about see her running through a field too far away from them to stop her.
"Kitty you dummy!" He cursed quietly
"Who's she?" Candy asked
"A friend but she doesn't know to stay away from those people" Kurt hissed "We have to try and reach her..."
"Shall I do the thing again?" Chrissa asked
"Yes but do it again as soon as possible to the other side of that field" Kurt said
"I-I'll try" Chrissa didn't know if she could manage this but Kurt's friend might be scared by the man with white hair and had to save her. She focused on the girl and
*Bamf*
Kitty turned expecting to see Kurt but instead there stood a pale, blond girl.
"Who are you?!" She screamed
"Don't speak so loud! I'm here to rescue you" Chrissa explained "Aren't we Kurt?" There was no reply "Kurt?"
Kurt was still standing about a mile away across the field.
"Kurt?!" Kitty cried "What's going on?? Why do YOU have his powers!"
"Can't explain now." Chrissa noticed something finally "The white haired man can see us!!" she yelled
Kitty turned and saw "MAGNETO!!"
"Oh! Oh! OH!" Chrissa started screaming as all her memories began flooding back "Go away!!" she grasped onto Kitty and
*Bamf*
teleported over to Kurt
"Kurt!" Kitty cried happily and tried to hug him but Chrissa had gotten there first
"Kurt!! He's right there, he want to get me back to that scary machine again!" Chrissa cried into him
"It's okay, Chrissa" Kurt comforted her. "Kitty, where's the X-jet?"
"Um, about a mile that way" Kitty pointed for him
"Chrissa? Can you port all three of us?" Kurt asked
Chrissa looked at him in shock "I don't know if I can" she said shakily "I think I've ported too much already"
"Please, just one more. For me?" Kurt asked
Kitty noticed a blush rise up Chrissa cheeks, Chrissa touched them both as if confused by what was happening but carried on smiling.
"Okay, I'll try" Chrissa took both their hands and tried again.
They arrived just in time to see the X-men running towards where they had once been.
"WOLVERINE!!" Kitty yelled "It's okay!! We're here!"
The whole party stopped and turned
"Kurt!!" Scott cried "Man am I glad to see you!!"
"Hey elf" Logan growled "Was' the big idea tellin' us ya got no powers then porting over here?"
"I didn't!" Kurt defended himself "Chrissa did! She's got my powers!" he was holding up Chrissa in his arms because she had just fainted from exhaustion
"Puh!" Logan said, unimpressed "I'll believe it when I see it"
"Come on!" Kitty cried running to the x-jet "Magneto's chasing us"
"No he's not. He's just staring in our direction" Kurt said "He wants Chrissa, so why isn't he following us?"
"I don't know but let's get out of here, he's making me feel uncomfortable!" Kitty hissed and phased inside the X-jet
"I really wish she'd stop doing that" Logan sighed
"Let's go"
*_*_*_*_*_*
"I don't know, that was just too easy" Kurt kept saying. Chrissa was now asleep on his lap and he was almost instinctively was stroking her hair
"I'm with Kurt, it seemed as if Magneto wanted us to get rid of her" Rogue said "Perhaps this gals more trouble than she's worth"
"Don't say that!!" Kurt yelled (though not too loudly in case he woke Chrissa) "This girl's been denied a life!"
"She was only given life to be a test subject if she's got no parents" Scott said slowly
"I hope she doesn't wake up" Kurt sighed "She has no idea what a plane is, she might go berserk and start using my powers"
"Kurt, I hate to say this but how much do we know about this girl?" Kitty asked "How do we know that she's on our side"
Kurt almost growled but held it in "Wait until you hear her speak, then you'll believe that she's not with Magneto"
"Okay" Kitty looked at the girls' face, she looked so innocent. If she was a little smaller she'd look about 9 or 8. She was almost angelic with her fine blond hair. Kitty felt a little jealous
Kurt looked out the window and watched the ocean swoop past, they were nearly in America now and Kurt couldn't wait to show Chrissa around. He'd long since realised that she'd need to be watched around electrical equipment but he was sure that he'd be able to give her the life she deserved.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Chrissa opened her eyes slowly, her brain hurt from teleporting so much and she'd had lots of weird dreams about the scary white haired man.
Kurt was sitting next to her and she smiled, knowing that if he was there then she was safe.
"Where am I?" she asked
"The Xavier institute, it's where I live" Kurt said taking her hand "You've been asleep for hours, I was beginning to worry."
"Head hurts" Chrissa said sadly
"Poor little one" Kurt smiled and pulled her into a tight hug
"Thank you" Chrissa sighed and began to cry
"Why?" Kurt asked
"You came and took me out of the room, you made the scary man go away, you're my friend"
Kurt looked as he was going to cry too but instead held onto her the way a father would hold his only child. He wanted to say he loved her but the words held no meaning to Chrissa so he held it in.
"We are friends Chrissa" Kurt smiled "And I promise I'll always protect you"
"I know"
They stayed like that for many hours until Xavier came, alerted by such strong emotions on both sides that Chrissa must have woken up.
