Author's Note: Hey! I know Gambit is supposed to have a Cajun accent, but
I'm too lazy too type the way he'd say stuff, so yeah. LOL. Oh, and I just
got finished watching episode "Bada-bing bada-boom" and I think I'll add
Tabitha to this story 'cause she's hilarious. But I'm gonna change her up
just a 'lil bit. In other words, the X-men won't know her yet.
Kurttyluver: LOL yeah! I LOVE Kurtty stories so all my X-men Evolution stories will be Kurtty of course. I also think that he looks nice with Tabitha, but I'd rather see Kurt with Kitty. I wish on the show they'd have Kurt dump Amanda. LOL
Riaka: **blushes** I'm flattered! Tee-hee!
Fantasy Cat: Thanks a bunch for the explanation! I'd go ahead and tell you if it's a Romy, but I don't wanna spoil it for the other people reading.
Telle: Thanks! I'm doing my best with this story!
Strawberries and Blueberries: Hey, sis! I'm glad you like your big sister's story! Heeheehee.

"Professor, Ah wanna visit Gambit," Rogue said.
"Rogue, you have had a rough night," Xavier said. "You should get some rest."
"But Gambit risked his lahfe to help me," she insisted. "Ah wanna thank him."
"Gambit it still unconscious," Hank said. "Maybe you should take Xavier's advice and then visit Gambit after you have had some rest."
"Awright," she said and left the room.
"Kitty, why don't you show Kurt to his room," Xavier said. "You know where it is."
Kitty waited for a short moment and then nodded.
"Alright!" she said. "Come on, Kurt."
"Thanks again, Professor!" Kurt said as Kitty dragged him out of the room.
"She likes him," Hank commented.
"Yes, she does," Xavier said. "And he likes her."
"I get the feeling Rogue likes Gambit," Hank said.
"That is possible," Xavier replied with a smile.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"How did you know vhere my new room vas?" Kurt asked as Kitty walked him to his room.
"Professor X told me inside my mind," she said.
"His gift is reading minds?" he asked.
"Yes, he's, like, telepathic," she said. "So is Jean Grey."
"I see," he said as he looked in every direction as they walked.
When they got to Kurt's room, Kitty opened the door and walked in.
"This is your room," she said.
"Vow! I've never had a room like this," he said.
"Now if you need anything, mine and Rogue's room in next door, and Evan's is across from yours," she explained.
"What can Evan and Rogue do?" he asked.
"Spyke can shoot spikes from his body," she said. "And Rogue can absorb a mutant's powers and memories so it's best to not, like, have direct skin contact with her."
"Is that vhy she said something about absorbing Mystique's memories?" he asked.
"Yes," she answered. "Now, you need to, like, get some sleep."
"Vhy?" he asked.
"Because, you, like, lost a lot of sleep 'cause you were worried about me," she said.
"But I vant to look around and meet new people!" he insisted.
"Kurt," she said sternly and put her hands on his shoulders. She then sat him down on his bed. "Go to sleep." She looked him square in the eyes.
"Keety," he whispered and got closer to her.
"I've got to go," she said stepping away from him. "Promise you'll get some sleep?"
"Yes, Keety," he said.
"Good, then I'll give you a tour after you've got some sleep," she said.
After she left, Kurt sighed and lay down.
"Get your head out of the clouds, Kurt," he thought. "She may not have a problem vith the vay you look, but she will never actually fall in love vith you."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Xavier, Logan, Ororo, and Hank all sat in a room together discussing the information they had.
"This is bad, Charles," said Logan. "Sounds like those machines will be ready in just two days and no telling where he will attack."
"Not to mention those potions," said Hank. "Can you imagine what would happen is say, they injected Kitty? She could waltz straight into the White House and kill the president."
"Yes, it does sound very dangerous," Xavier agreed.
"I just wish we knew where Magneto was hiding out," Ororo sighed.
"Yeah, too bad half-pint and the elf couldn't figure it out," Logan commented.
"How did Magneto get, how many guards did they say? One hundred guards?" Hank asked.
"They can't possibly be mutants," Ororo added.
"I agree," Xavier said. "He must have used some sort of potion on them. For all we know, he will use them as testers."
Ororo shivered.
"No telling how many humans he got Gambit to kill," she said.
"That reminds me," said Logan. "Is Gambit truly good?"
"I can't say for sure," Xavier said. "His mind was completely blank when I tried to probe it. Mystique's blow was quite hard. We will have to wait until he wakes up to see what he wants to do."
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
A few hours later,
Kitty phased through her bedroom door and saw Rogue sitting up in her bed.
"Hey, Rogue." Kitty greeted. "Did you sleep well?"
"Ah slept, but it wusn't that well," Rogue said.
"Oh?" Kitty asked.
"Ah can't help but worry 'bout Gambit," Rogue sighed.
"Geez, Rogue, you've never been, like, this worried about someone," Kitty commented.
"Well, he kidnaps me, then risks his lahfe to save me, and now he's got amnesia," Rogue sighed again.
"Well, he's, like, awake now if you wanna see him," Kitty said.
Rogue jumped out of bed and ran out the room.
"Rogue's got a crush, Rogue's got a crush," Kitty thought in a singsong way.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Rogue walked in the infirmary and saw Hank talking to a very confused Gambit.
"So my name is Remy Entienne Lebeau, but some people call me Gambit and I'm a mutant?" he asked.
"That is correct," Hank said.
"Who is she?" Gambit asked pointing to Rogue.
Hank looked over his shoulder and smiled.
"That's your friend, Rogue," he said.
"Sorry, but I don't remember," Gambit replied.
"That's awright," Rogue said. "As long as yer okay. You took on one heckuva beatin'."
"I'll leave you two alone," Hank said and left.
Rogue sat next to Gambit and smiled.
"Doctor McCoy said I'm a mutant," he said.
"Yes, we all are here," she replied.
"What can I do?" he asked.
"Well, Ah'm not sure, but Ah saw you turn a card into a flame," she explained. "And then your threw it and it exploded. You also have a rod as a weapon."
"I can't remember having any mutant abilities," he said with a sigh.
"That's awright," she said. "We have training sessions here. Ah'm sure with Logan and Scott's help, you'll be the master of yer powers."
Gambit's eyes widened when she said that. Then a voice said something in his mind:
"When you step into that room, it will enhance your mutant powers and you will have complete mastery over it!"
"Gambit, whut's wrong?" Rogue asked.
"I remember someone telling me something about a room," Gambit said.
"I'll get the professor," Rogue said.
A few minutes later Rogue returned with Xavier.
"What was your memory, Gambit?" Xavier asked.
"All I heard was a voice," Gambit said. "He said; 'When you step into that room, it will enhance your mutant powers and you will have complete mastery over it!'"
"Sounds like something Magneto would say," Xavier said.
"Magneto! That name sounds familiar!" Gambit said.
"He's the one that brainwashed ya!" Rogue said.
"I was brainwashed?" Gambit asked.
"Rogue, why don't we fill Gambit in on everything?" Xavier suggested.
Rogue nodded and they told Gambit everything they knew.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Kurt woke up after sleeping for a few hours. He looked at the clock on his table and saw that it was five o' clock. Very close to dinner time and he was hungry.
Kurt got out of bed and walked outside his room.
When he walked outside, Amara walked down the hall and gasped.
"Who are you?!" she asked.
"I'm Kurt Vagner (or Nightcrawler.)" he said. "Can you tell me vhere Keety is?"
"What do you want with Kitty?" she asked.
"Amara, where are you?!" Kitty called coming around the corner.
"Kitty, who is this?!" Amara asked.
"Oh!" Kitty said. "I was, like, looking for you so I could tell you about my new friend, Kurt!"
"Oh, well it's nice to meet you," Amara said.
"Nice to meet you too," he said.
"Oh yeah, people call me Magma," she said. "Well I gotta go!"
After Amara walked away, Kurt looked at Kitty.
"Do you think the professor vould mind if I left to go eat somevhere?" he asked.
"Hmmm, I dunno," she said. "He may let us leave. Let's go find out!"
Kitty grabbed Kurt's hand and ran to Xavier's room.
"Professor, do you mind if we leave?" she asked.
"Well, I don't know," he said. "It may be too dangerous."
"Please!" Kitty begged. "Magneto doesn't plan to attack with those machines again for a couple days so can we, like, leave for just a couple hours?"
"Alright," Xavier said. "Go to the closest place here to eat and come back by seven-thirty."
"Thank you, professor." Kurt said.
"Oh, and, Kurt," Xavier said and grabbed a watch from his desk. "Understand, I do not think there is anything wrong with the way you look, but I want you to wear this tonight so you won't draw too much attention."
Kurt put on the watch and pressed a button.
"Whoa!" Kitty said.
Kurt looked out his hands and saw that he had five fingers on each hand and that his skin was now white instead on blue.
He then ran to a mirror. His ears were no longer pointed, his eyes were deep blue, and his hair stayed the same dark navy blue color.
"Make sure you watch your tail," Xavier said. "If you move around too much, it will be revealed."
"Vow! I look like a normal boy now!" he breathed.
"Personally I think you look better as yourself," Kitty said.
"Yes, but this is only for when you go out in public," Xavier said. "You two better go before you starve to death."
Kitty laughed and dragged Kurt outside.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
The restaurant Kurt and Kitty went to was a "Mom and Pop's" type restaurant.
Kurt and Kitty sat down and took their orders.
"I'll have a hamburger, fries, and a chocolate shake." Kurt said.
"Same here," said Kitty.
"Alright, it'll be ready in a few minutes," the waitress said and walked away.
"This is, like, so much fun!" Kitty gushed.
"Ja, I'm having fun too," he replied.
"Kurt, are you gonna, like, leave the circus and stay with us?" she asked.
He could tell she wanted to ask that so badly, but was too shy to ask it.
"Most likely," was his answer.
"That's cool 'cause....well, um...oh look the food's here!"
Kurt sighed. He wanted to know what she was about to say.
"Oh vell," he thought.
They said nothing to each other for a while until Kitty spotted a very familiar person come in.
"Oh no," she whispered.
"Vhat?" Kurt asked.
"It's that creepy Toad guy!" she whispered.
"Vhat do ve do?" he asked.
"You do nothing," she said. "He won't recognize you with that image inducer. I gotta get outta here!"
She looked around for other options, but when Toad got closer and closer to the table, Kitty sunk down through her seat and phased though the wall to get outside.
She then ran away from the restaurant until she accidentally bumped into a guy.
"S-sorry," she said.
She looked at the brown haired, brown-eyed guy.
"Well lookie here," he said with a laugh. "It's ShadowKitty."
Kitty's mouth dropped.
"Wh-who are you?" she stuttered.
She walked backwards, but bumped into another guy.
This guy had white hair and an insane grin on his face.
"Good find, Lance," the guy with the white hair said.
"Tie her up, Quicksilver," Lance said. "Magneto will be pleased when he finds we found you."
"Kurt!" Kitty shouted.
Kurt heard her scream and looked outside.
"Keety!" he gasped.
Quicksilver pulled out the silver rope and tried to tie it around Kitty until she went through the ground.
"Where'd she go?!" he asked angrily.
Kurt did not care if anyone saw him, he quickly 'ported outside to where Kitty and those guys were.
Quicksilver's mouth dropped when he saw someone suddenly appear in front of Lance and punch him.
"Leave Keety alone!" Kurt snarled.
Quicksilver's eyes were now filled with confusion when he saw a hand stick up from the ground and pull Kurt down.
"Kurt, 'port us back to the institute," she said.
Bamf!
Kurt and Kitty were now on the front porch of the institute.
"Whew, that was close," she sighed.
"I vas so scared they vere going to hurt you," he said.
"Thank you for coming to my help," she said.
"I vould not let anyone harm you, Keety," he said.
She grinned and blushed.
Next thing she knew, Kurt was getting very close to her.
She closed her eyes and he brought his face closer to hers.
"What happened at the restaurant?"
Kurt and Kitty gasped and jumped away from each other when they heard Logan's gruff sounding voice.
"M-m-mister Logan!" Kitty stammered. "Y-you, like, startled me!"
"You didn't answer my question, half-pint," he said.
"Well...." she said and explained everything.
"Quicksilver and Lance, huh?" Logan asked.
"Do you know them?" Kitty asked.
"Nope, but apparently those two and that Toad guy are part of Magneto's Brotherhood," he said.
"Mister Logan, vould it be alright if I vent to my room now?" Kurt asked.
"Sure, elf," Logan said.
"Thank you," Kurt said and 'ported away.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Kurt 'ported on his bed and sighed.
"Man, I vas so close," he said and walked to his window to see Kitty and Logan walked back inside.
"I vonder if she vould have pushed me away or kissed me back," he thought.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Logan walked into Xavier's room and shook his head.
"You know, Charles, half-pint and the new kid almost got re-captured again by the Brotherhood," he said.
"I was afraid of that," Xavier said. "Five people using their powers in one spot...."
"Do you think they knew they were there?" Logan asked.
"I don't know," Xavier said. "It could have been a coincidence."
"I'm also worried about half-pint," Logan said with a sigh.
"Why is that?" Xavier asked.
"I interrupted those two from kissing," Logan explained. "I know nothing about the elf and I'm worried he'll hurt her."
"No, I don't think we need to worry about that," Xavier replied with a laugh.
"What do you mean?" Logan asked.
"I've seen inside Kurt's mind and I saw nothing disgusting about it," Xavier explained. "I saw his feelings for Kitty, but I saw nothing immoral about it."
"In other words he's not the kind who just wants her for a fun night?" Logan asked.
"Exactly," Xavier said.
"Well he better not try to pull any moves on her or I'll have to remove his tail and some other parts," Logan said unsheathing his claws.
Xavier laughed and shook his head.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Good news, Magneto," Mystique said with a smile.
"What?" Magneto asked.
"The machines will be ready to go by tomorrow after-noon," she reported.
"Good," he replied. "I've been waiting for some good news. Gambit's failure will cost him his life when I find him."
"He's joined the X-Men," she said.
"I figured that would happen," he said. "That is why he must die."
"Good, he was useless anyway," she laughed.
"But," he said. "If I'm not mistaking, did you not say that he looked as though he had slight feelings for the girl when he untied her."
"Yes," she said. "Why?
"We could use her to teach Gambit a lesson," he said.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"We will have the girl kill Gambit for us," he said. "The woman he's falling in love with, will be his killer."
Mystique smiled and gave a laugh of pleasure.
"I also have an idea," he added. "An idea to get one of our own into the institute and blow all Xavier's defenses."
Author's Note: whew that chapter was a lot longer than the other ones! Hopefully the other chapters will be just as long. Have you noticed how the bad guys seem to know everything? LOL. So does Gambit and Rogue have feelings for each other? Will Rogue kill Gambit? What is this new grand idea Magneto has? You'll all find out soon!
Kurttyluver: LOL yeah! I LOVE Kurtty stories so all my X-men Evolution stories will be Kurtty of course. I also think that he looks nice with Tabitha, but I'd rather see Kurt with Kitty. I wish on the show they'd have Kurt dump Amanda. LOL

"You didn't answer my question, half-pint," he said.
"Well...." she said and explained everything.
"Quicksilver and Lance, huh?" Logan asked.
"Do you know them?" Kitty asked.
"Nope, but apparently those two and that Toad guy are part of Magneto's Brotherhood," he said.

"Man, I vas so close," he said and walked to his window to see Kitty and Logan walked back inside.
"I vonder if she vould have pushed me away or kissed me back," he thought.

Logan walked into Xavier's room and shook his head.
"You know, Charles, half-pint and the new kid almost got re-captured again by the Brotherhood," he said.
"I was afraid of that," Xavier said. "Five people using their powers in one spot...."
"Do you think they knew they were there?" Logan asked.
"I don't know," Xavier said. "It could have been a coincidence."
"I'm also worried about half-pint," Logan said with a sigh.
"Why is that?" Xavier asked.
"I interrupted those two from kissing," Logan explained. "I know nothing about the elf and I'm worried he'll hurt her."
"No, I don't think we need to worry about that," Xavier replied with a laugh.
"What do you mean?" Logan asked.
"I've seen inside Kurt's mind and I saw nothing disgusting about it," Xavier explained. "I saw his feelings for Kitty, but I saw nothing immoral about it."
"In other words he's not the kind who just wants her for a fun night?" Logan asked.
"Exactly," Xavier said.
"Well he better not try to pull any moves on her or I'll have to remove his tail and some other parts," Logan said unsheathing his claws.
Xavier laughed and shook his head.

"Good news, Magneto," Mystique said with a smile.
"What?" Magneto asked.
"The machines will be ready to go by tomorrow after-noon," she reported.
"Good," he replied. "I've been waiting for some good news. Gambit's failure will cost him his life when I find him."
"He's joined the X-Men," she said.
"I figured that would happen," he said. "That is why he must die."
"Good, he was useless anyway," she laughed.
"But," he said. "If I'm not mistaking, did you not say that he looked as though he had slight feelings for the girl when he untied her."
"Yes," she said. "Why?
"We could use her to teach Gambit a lesson," he said.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"We will have the girl kill Gambit for us," he said. "The woman he's falling in love with, will be his killer."
Mystique smiled and gave a laugh of pleasure.
"I also have an idea," he added. "An idea to get one of our own into the institute and blow all Xavier's defenses."
Author's Note: whew that chapter was a lot longer than the other ones! Hopefully the other chapters will be just as long. Have you noticed how the bad guys seem to know everything? LOL. So does Gambit and Rogue have feelings for each other? Will Rogue kill Gambit? What is this new grand idea Magneto has? You'll all find out soon!
