Author's Note: Tee-hee! I just got back from seeing X-men 2 again for the
third time. I love that movie! Oh yeah, Gambit will also be in this story
and since this is an AU, I've changed him up a little. Anyway, time for
some thank you notes:
Fantasy Cat: LOL don't go insane! There's going to be a lot of Kurt and Kitty stuff in this chapter (not romantic because they don't even know each other yet)
StormHeart: Yes, Kurt/Kitty is the best pairing! There should be more Kurt/Kitty fics!
Telle: Thank you and I'm updating this story as often as I can.
Jupiter-Planet9 : Why thank you so much.. I'm glad people are enjoying this story!
"Vas is going on outside?!" Kurt asked.
"I-I don't know," Kitty stammered.
Kitty was about to run outside, but Kurt grabbed her shoulder.
"It vill be quicker this vay," he said.
The two disappeared and reappeared in the main arena.
There were people running around and screaming.
"What are those?!" Kitty asked with horror when she saw several large machines. They were black and spider shaped.
At that moment, a long beam of red laser shot through the air and hit the side of the spider-machine.
"T-that man just shot lasers from his eyes!" Kurt exclaimed.
"Scott!" Kitty called.
"Kitty!" Scott called back.
"I can't lift them," Jean said with her fingers on her temples. "They're too heavy."
"My spikes just keep bouncing off them!" Evan said with frustration.
Ororo sent numerous bolts of lightning down on the machines and Logan tried slashing one, but his claws could not destroy it.
Kurt looked back and forth from the machines to the mutants.
"There are other people that can use strange powers?" he thought.
Kitty ran towards her friends.
She phased through different debris lying around and phased through one of the spider-machines.
"Kitty, look out!" Scott called.
Too late.
Silver rope shot out from one of the spider-machines and wrapped itself around Kitty.
Kitty tried to phase through it, but fell unconscious.
"Keety!" Kurt gasped.
He ran towards her, but was also caught by the strange rope.
"Kitty!" Evan called.
"We can't destroy them!" Jean said. "We have to get out of here!"
"Jean, we can't leave Kitty!" Scott argued.
"We'll all be captured!" Jean argued back. "I don't think Kitty would want us all to be captured!"
"Watch it!" Rogue called as more rope got spat out from the spider- machines.
Jean quickly put a telepathic shield up.
"They've taken Kitty!" Evan said as he watched on of the machines grab Kitty. "And that Nightcrawler guy!"
"Come on, we have to go now!" Jean said.
Everyone then quickly ran back to Scott's car and the X-Van.
"Ticks me off that we couldn't destroy them," Logan grumbled as they drove back to the institute.
"Who sent them?" Ororo asked.
"Probably Magneto," Logan answered.
"The strange thing is that it seemed they were targeting mutants," Jean said to Xavier. "They were leaving the humans alone and were concentrating attacks on us."
"What's weird is that they took that Nightcrawler guy," Scott said.
"Yes, I believe I know why," Xavier said.
"What do you mean?" Scott asked.
"Look at this," he said pointing to Cerebro.
"I detected another mutant while you all were at the fair," he said as he pressed a few keys. "This mutant was using his gift at the same time Nightcrawler was doing his act."
Then a picture of Kurt came on the screen followed by his bio; "Name: Kurt Wagner, Age: Seventeen, Residence: Unknown, Birthplace: Germany."
"He's a teleporter." Jean said.
"Yes, a teleporter raised in a circus so that people would think it's just magic and make up." Xavier said.
"So he really does look like that," Scott commented.
"But, if it is Magneto," Jean said. "then what does he want with Kitty and Kurt Wagner?"
"I'm not sure of his intentions," Xavier said. "But we must find out where Kitty and Kurt are and what Magneto wants from them."
Kitty's eyes slowly fluttered open. At first everything was a blur, but then things began to come clear. She then heard Kurt. It sounded like he was talking nervously in German.
"Wo sind wir? Was soll ich machen? Ich kann meine Kräfte in diesem Zimmer nicht benutzen. Warum haben sie uns genommen?" he was saying. (A/N: by the way, I hope I got all that right)
"K-Kurt?" she stammered.
"Keety!" he gasped. "I'm so glad you're okay."
"Where are we?" she asked. "What were you saying?"
"Oh, I was just trying to figure vhere ve are, vhy I can't use my teleporting, and vhy ve vere captured." He said.
"Teleport?" she asked. "Y-you're a mutant!"
"I guess I am if that's what you call people with powers" he answered. "I hope you don't hate me now."
"Of course not!" she replied. "I'm a mutant too!"
"You are?" he asked. "Vhat can you do?"
"I can, like, phase through stuff." She answered.
"Maybe you can get us out of here," he said.
"Let me try," she said. She stood up and looked around the metal cell they were being held in. She walked towards a wall and tried to go through it.
"Nope, can't do it." She said.
"Great," he mumbled.
"Sooooo," she said and sat down across from Kurt. "That's not make up is it?"
"No," he answered. "I really look this vay. Do you find me freakish now?"
"No," she answered simply. "There's a guy at the institute that's blue, hairy, and well, let's just say his mutant name isn't Beast for nothing."
"Mutant name?" he asked.
"Oh, we all got, like, our own nicknames," she said. "I'm called ShadowCat."
"I like that name," he said.
"I know! Your mutant name could be Nightcrawler!" she said.
"Sure," he said. "Can you tell me about this institute?"
"Yeah," she said. "It's, like, a place where mutants go to learn how to use their powers."
"Sounds nice," he said.
"When we get out of this, why don't you come." She suggested.
"I'd love to!" he said. "I've never fit in anyvhere! Since this place is for mutants, I'm sure I could fit in."
"Of course you will!" she said.
"You're a nice person, Keety," he said. "I'm glad you accidentally got into my room instead of Lance's."
"Yeah, you're nice too," she said blushing slightly.
Mystique walked in a room after being summoned. In this room sat a man on a large metal chair. He had a long red cape and a helmet upon his head.
"You called, Magneto?" Mystique asked.
"I want a report of tonight's events," Magneto said. "How many mutants did we capture."
"Only two," she answered.
"Only two?!" he roared standing up.
"Jean Grey was able to protect herself and her friends and they escaped," she explained.
"Whom did we capture?" he asked with calmness returning to his voice.
"An X-girl named Kitty 'ShadowCat' Pryde," she said. "And my son...Kurt 'Nightcrawler' Wagner."
"Your son?" Magneto asked. "He is here?"
"Yes," she answered.
"Interesting," he said. "How long until the potions are ready?"
"A few more days," she answered.
"And how long until the machines will be ready to attack again?"
"It will take a few days until they recharge," she said.
"We don't have a few days!" he yelled. "By now the X-Men has told Charles what happened and they will go on a rescue mission!"
"They don't even now where we are," she said. "Besides, we could use this as our advantage."
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Capture them ourselves while they're out in the open," she suggested.
"Yes, we could capture a few of them until the machines are ready," he agreed. He then pressed a button on the arm of his chair. "Gambit, come here immediately."
"Gambit?!" Mystique asked with anger. "Why not send me?!"
"You called?"
Mystique glared at the man behind her.
Gambit was another mutant that Magneto captured several weeks ago. He had short brown hair and blood red eyes.
When Gambit was captured, Magneto used a test potion on him. He used these potions to make any mutant evil and have the need to kill a human. When Magneto found that the sample potion worked on Gambit, he ordered more to be made. But it would take longer for the permanent potions to be made. Since Gambit's was only a sample, he could become sane at any moment. Magneto was not sure when so he would keep a close eye on him. Gambit's real name was Remy Entienne Lebeau (A/N: did I get that right?) but since the potion was used on him, he only knew himself as Gambit. Magneto had found Gambit inside a casino gambling and when he went outside after winning several games, he captured him. His weapon of choice was a rod and a deck of cards that would explode on impact after he would throw it at any object.
"Gambit, I have a job for you," Magneto said.
That night,
Kurt sat in a corner hugging his knees against his chest. So many questions went through his mind. "Vhy are ve here? Vhat vere those machines? Did they target mutants and that's vhy Keety and I vere captured?"
His thoughts were interrupted when the door opened and Mystique came in.
"Who are you?!" Kitty said standing up.
"I am Mystique," she said. "I hope these room are comfortable."
"Comfortable?!" Kurt repeated.
"Yeah, I mean we're, like, in a friggin' metal room with no pillows, blankets, nothing!"
"No vhere to use the bathroom!" Kurt added.
"That was, like, random." Kitty thought.
"Well comfort is not what Magneto cares about," Mystique said. "I have brought you two food. Magneto does want you alive."
"So you plan to not kill us?" Kurt asked.
"No, that's the last thing on Magneto's list for you," Mystique said. "He guaranteed your safety, Kurt."
"Vhy does this Magneto care if I'm alive?" he asked.
"I care," she said.
"Like, he's too young for you," Kitty said.
"Fool!" Mystique replied. "I don't want him in a romantic way!"
"Vhy do you care if I live or die?" he asked.
"You will learn soon," Mystique said and placed two plats on the floor and left the room.
"She was, like, totally weird!" Kitty commented.
"Her skin was blue," Kurt said.
"Yeah, I saw that," she replied lifted the lid off one of the plates.
"Wow! I was, like, expecting dry bread and water!" she said.
"Vas?" he asked.
"They gave us a full hearty meal," she said. "At least we won't starve!"
Kurt laughed and began eating his food.
A/N: I hope the Gambit thing wasn't too long and boring. LOL. I hope you all liked this chapter!
Fantasy Cat: LOL don't go insane! There's going to be a lot of Kurt and Kitty stuff in this chapter (not romantic because they don't even know each other yet)
