The Truth Hurts
Chapter II: Release
By: Michelle
Kurt laid face down on his bed with a pillow covering his head. Why is my mind racing? I'm so confused. Maybe, I'm just nervous about the Registration Act. But that wasn't it. It was about his unknown past.
"Kurt."
He heard a soft voice call him from the door. He failed to reply.
Ororo stood outside his door waiting for him to answer. She knew something was bothering him. "Kurt."
No answer.
She sighed and opened the door. "Kurt, are you alright. You haven't been down since yesterday evening." She said and sat on the edge of the bed.
Kurt peeked out from under the pillow. "I'm not feeling well." He returned to his previous position.
"Do you have an upset stomach? A fever?" Ororo asked with concern.
Kurt turned over. He didn't want her to worry about him so much. "I'm fine. I just need some time alone."
"Ok." She knew what was wrong. He was depressed. She grabbed his hand and squeezed it. "I'll be here when you are ready to talk."
He nodded and watched her leave his room.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Victor Creed paced around his cell. He has been in here too long.
He growled. He didn't like being caged.
Beep
Beep
He looked over at the alarm and growled. Fire.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
BAMF
"Hello, Kurt." Xavier said as heard Kurt port into the room. "Are you feeling better? Storm is quite worried about you."
"I know." Kurt sighed and perched in a chair. "I do not mean to make her worry."
"I know you don't" Xavier replied and wheeled over to him. "But she cares a lot about you. And I know you care about her. She just wants to help."
They looked up as they heard a knock at the door.
"Come in Storm."
"Professor, I can't find…." Ororo noticed him in the chair next to Xavier. "Never mind."
Kurt smiled over at her.
"Maybe its time we all have a talk." Xavier said motioning her to sit.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Victor pulled at the bars as the fire rolled across the hallway in front of his cell.
He growled. He had to get out.
He could feel the bars bending, but he knew it wasn't from his strength. He knew who it was. As he looked up to allow the bars to open in front of him, he noticed three figures coming towards him.
The one on the right was beautiful but lethal and once woman of his dreams. She never changed.
The one on the left was a teenage boy with a lighter in his hands. He hadn't net this one before. Must be the newest member of the Brotherhood.
In the middle stood the leader himself, the controller of metal.
"Welcome back Sabretooth."
Sabretooth growled, welcoming his release.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Kurt, do you know anything about you family." Ororo asked.
"Nein, nothing." Kurt explained. "I was just a baby when Margali took me in. She was like a mother to me."
Professor Xavier wheeled back over to Kurt. "Relax, Kurt. This won't hurt a bit."
Kurt closed his eyes as Xavier placed each of his hands besides his head.
Xavier looked up from the basket he was in. Above him, he could see a young woman terrified and running.
Where are you going mother?
Out of breath, she stopped. He could hear the sounds of water crashing in the distance.
He looked up at the woman and cried. She looked down at him giving him the first glimpse of her face. Her yellow eyes gazed at him underneath her red hair.
Xavier pulled back his hands. Why didn't he discover this before?
"Vat is it?" Kurt saw the images too, but couldn't make much sense of them.
Xavier blinked. "I know who your mother is. She's….."
Logan opened the door and grabbed the television remote. "You got to see this."
"Logan what are you doing."
"Look."
This is Mae Weathers reporting live the Bayville County Prison, Where moments ago Victor Creed, better known as Sabretooth escaped.
According to eye witnesses, the metal gates of the prison began to bend by themselves and fireballs flew in from out of nowhere. No one knows exactly who was behind this, but they suspect mutants were involved.
Victor Creed is considered armed and dangerous. He is linked to an attack at the Westchester Train Station and the Liberty Island incident. If anyone knows his whereabouts please call…..
Xavier, Kurt, Ororo, and Logan stared at the television set all thinking the same thing. Magneto.
