Bad Birdies!

Kurt pressed down on the button and the garage door lowered into place, concealing him and the Emu's inside.  "There you go; you'll be nice and safe in here." He pet one of the birds and it cooed.  "I'll go get you some more food.  Just stay put and don't make any noise."  He smiled at the birds and teleported to the kitchen.

"Let's see…" Kurt began searching in cupboards and examining packages, "What can I give them?"  He went to the refrigerator and opened the door.  He searched inside, his tail sticking out from the door and swishing behind him, "Lettuce?  Milk?  Maybe some baloney…" 

Kitty walked into the kitchen carrying a pan of rejected cookies.  "A lot they know, humph.  There's nothing wrong with these, where's Kurt?" Kurt heard his name from inside the fridge and stiffened.  Kitty caught site of his tail and smiled, "Oooohh Kurrrtt."

Kurt sighed and pulled out from the fridge, "Oh hey Kitty."  He waved at her and shuffled his feet, "What's up?"

"I've got some more cookies I want you to try out." She showed him the pan and smiled sweetly. Kurt suppressed a groan and then brightened.

"Sure Kitty, I'll try a few." He reached out and snagged a cookie, taking a bite and then stopping.  He nearly gagged but held it and continued to chew, "These are great…better than your last batch." He swallowed hard and continued to swallow.

"Really?" Kitty beamed, "I thought I might have put a little to much salt, and maybe to much baking powder, and it coulda used a little more sugar…"

"No, they're perfect," Kurt began grabbing the cookies off the tray, "Can I have some more?" He stuffed the cookies into the crook of his arm and Kitty stared at him stunned.

"Sure, however many you want."

Kurt nodded and grabbed more.  He left one cookie on the tray and stood contemplating it, then snatched it too, "Thanks Kitty, let me know if you make anymore."

Kitty nodded and he teleported away.  She looked down at the empty tray and turned back to the door yelling out as she phased through it, "See, at least SOMEONE appreciates a good cook."

Kurt appeared in the garage again and began coughing.  He dropped the cookies into a pile on the hood of Scott's car and began rubbing his tongue off with his hands, "YUCK! That vas terrible!" He spit a couple times and shook his head, "I hope you all appreciate this." He looked up to see the Emu's gathered around and eyeing the stack of cookies.  "Here, you can have them." He stepped aside and the Emu's began to eat. 

Kurt stepped back and leaned against the wall, "I vonder where you all came from." He pondered the thought a moment and glanced down at his watch.  "Well sorry guys, but I have a Danger Room session, I'll be back though.  Stay here and behave." He watched them eat a few minutes longer then bamfed away.

An hour later and Kurt returned, dragging his legs and tail tiredly, "Man, vhat a workout." He slumped against a car, head drooping and eyes cast to the floor.  "Logan is so evil, and Scott too.  Sometimes I just vant to…" his eyes drifted up and his voice left him.  He looked around the room in horror.  Feathers fluttered in the air, scratches decorated all of the vehicles and white splotches that shamed a pigeons were everywhere on everything.  "VHAT HAPPENED?!" he screamed and the Emu's happily approached him.  "Oh no, oh no, oh no…" Kurt began to mutter, looking from the dirty X-van to the ruined red convertible.  Then he saw Logan's bike and nearly fated, "I'm so dead…" He sank to his knees and one of the birds lowered its head and began preening Kurt's hair.  Kurt lightly pushed him away and paused, hearing noises on the other side of the garage door.  Muffled sounds that he vaguely made out to be Scott's and Jean's.  He stood up quickly, searching around the room in a panic and looking at the birds.  The garage began to rumble open and he reached out, grabbing two of the birds and bamfing away.  Just as daylight began to shine in under the door Kurt returned and disappeared with the last two birds.

He took the birds to Kitty and Rogue's room, the first place that came to mind and cringed when he heard Scott's scream from below.  He left the birds there a moment and ported off again to create an alibi.  As soon as he was gone the Emu's began poking around and scratching at the various objects in the room.
