Amanda

Amanda was asleep when she heard a knock at the window. She opened it and saw Kurt sitting forlornly out there. "Kurt what are you doing here?"

"Amanda…" He looked upset and confused. "I just need to talk to you. Can I come in?"

Amanda shrugged and Kurt teleported in. He collapsed on the floor. "Kurt what's going on?" She asked.

And he told her.

"Your mother's dead…" Amanda looked at him in horror.

"And my sister killer her…" Kurt said tonelessly. "Half the mansion thinks it's a good thing. I caught Gambit chucking her remains in the ocean. I was afraid to bury her where someone would see her."

"Oh god Kurt, I am so sorry," Amanda held onto him. After a few moments she asked, "Do you want something to eat? Or drink?"

"I'm all right," Kurt sighed.

"No you're not," Amanda took his hand. "Come on." They made their way to the kitchen. "I'll make you some tea." She started to make some.

"Thank you," He sighed. "I know Mystique was not exactly the most loving mother in the world, but still…"

"Okay what the hell is going on down here?" Mr. Sefton and his wife Margali shuffled down. "Oh god it's you…"

"Mom, Dad before you jump to any conclusions, Kurt's mother is dead," Amanda told them.

"Which one?" Margali asked. "Mystique?" Amanda nodded. She bit her tongue. "I'm sorry."

"Yeah well you're the only one who is," Kurt groaned. "I can't even go home for sympathy."

"Why not?" Mr. Sefton asked.

"It's…complicated," Amanda sighed.

"It usually is in that place!" Mr. Sefton groaned as he shuffled off to bed.

"Can you be even less of a worm?" Margali snapped after him. "Sorry Kurt."

"He's still a bit upset over the whole magic thing," Amanda explained.

"So what happened?" Margali asked.

"Short version," Kurt sighed. "My mother was turned to stone, the Professor gave her away to the Misfits and when I brought her back my loving sister Rogue destroyed her by shoving her off a cliff!"

"Forget the tea Amanda," Margali sighed. "Let's make a pot of coffee. It's gonna be a long night."
