Logan sniffed the piece of glass that had Kurt's scent on it again. Something wasn't right, he couldn't quite place what it was. Logan didn't have time to investigate further as at the moment he heard Kurt's voice, loudly.

"VAS?!" Kurt yelled, his voice echoing around the virtually empty mansion. "Ororo...Storm...I didn't do anything! I didn't hurt Keety, Evan OR Jean! I've been in my room the whole time!" He insisted.

"I wish I could believe you." Replied Ororo gently, Putting a hand on Kurt's shoulder. To her surprise he shied away from her, staring at her angrily. "Really I do!" She added.

"So vhy don't you?" Kurt demanded, he couldn't believe this was happening. Why wouldn't they understand he hadn't done anything? "Storm you know I wouldn't lie to you! Let alone attack any of you! Vhy von't you believe me?"

"But Charles saw-"

"I don't CARE Vas Professor X saw! I didn't attack anybody!" Interrupted Kurt, wondering if he was going to cry. Things felt highly unfair, the professor had seen Kurt do things in his own head that he hadn't done. Which he was SURE he hadn't done, and now no one believed he didn't do anything. Things couldn't get any worse.

Kurt, of course, was wrong. Things could get worse. A lot worse, and they did.

He spent all that evening listening to The Beatles, every once and a while Ororo, Logan and even Xavier checked in on him. Kurt ignored them, he'd had enough of being in any one's company for the day.

He felt different, however, the next morning when he went down to breakfast. Everyone looked up as he walked into the kitchen. There was only Scott, Evan, Rogue, Bobby, Ororo and a few new recruits in there, and they all began murmuring amongst themselves.

Kurt sighed and turned to go out of the kitchen, but Ororo stopped him. She guided him to the table and whispered in his ear. "You have to eat." Kurt sat down at the table and poured himself some cereal, then picked at it, not really feeling hungry anymore. He could feel everyone's eyes on him.

Ororo cleared her throat, obviously sensing the amount of discomfort there was in the room. "So..." She began, glancing from Kurt to all the other mutants. "...What are you guys going to be doing today?"

Scott looked up slightly. "Some of us are going to the mall." He replied, then returned to his breakfast, glancing sideways at Evan slightly who gave him a look then looked out of the window.

"To get school stuff." Added on Bobby. Taking another bite of toast that had something that looked like mashed up sardines on it.

"What a wonderful idea!" Ororo smiled, trying to make the feeling of hostility go away. "Why don't we all go!" She got up and began putting some pots away. Kurt looked up and noticed the other mutants giving him looks, so he got up and walked out, feeling depressed.
