The Truth Hurts
Chapter III: Plans
By: Michelle
"How is Sabretooth still alive?" Logan paced furious of the news. "I saw him fall from the Statue of Liberty and onto a boat."
"He's like you Logan." Xavier explained. "He has the ability to heal himself. It was only a matter of time before Magneto planned his release."
"Damn."
"Professor, you were saying…" Kurt interrupted. "About my mother…"
Xavier looked down and back up at him. "Perhaps this discussion should wait until look into the Cerebro files."
"But…"
"I want to be accurate before I point fingers." He explained. "I hope you understand."
Kurt nodded. He knew that he was lying. "I'm going to bed now."
As Kurt walked out the door, Ororo glanced over at Xavier. You know.
Its not time yet Ororo. The truth hurts.
So does the hiding it from him.
Ororo turned and walked out the door after Kurt.
Logan stood around confused. "What's going on?"
Xavier sat silently for a moment. He let out a deep breath. This was not going to be easy.

"Senator, the mutant escaped."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
"Damn." His fist slammed on the desk. He rolled his eyes. He was the key to getting back at her. "This really messes up my plans."
"Why is this mutant so important to you Senator?" His assistant asked. "You hate mutants."
"He has personal value to me." Graydon Creed clenched his fist. Damn you Father.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Kurt, wait up." Ororo ran down the hall after her boyfriend.
"Leave me alone." Kurt opened his door and stormed into his room.
She closed the door behind them. "Kurt."
"He's hiding something from me. I just know it." Kurt paced around the room. "Why won't he tell me?"
"He probably has his reasons. It's not to hurt you." Ororo walked over and wrapped her arms around him. "Alright."
Kurt pushed her gently from him. "No it is not alright." He plopped down on his bed.
"Kurt, he will tell you, but in time." Ororo explained. "You must be patient."
"Patience is a virtue." Kurt replied and fingered his rosary. "Perhaps, I have overreacted."
Ororo sat down on the bed next to him. "It's going to be alright. You will get the answers you seek. You will find your real family. I just know it. Please don't shut me out." She grabbed his hand. "I want to stand beside you and support you in anyway I can."
"Danke schon." Kurt looked into her blue eyes. She's too good to me. Why am I hurting her like this? I love her. In apology, He leaned forward and kissed her lips.
Ororo responded by parting her lips, welcoming the kiss. She could feel their bodies moving closer as she ran her fingers through his hair.
He pushed her gently on the bed and leaned over her. His hand slid slowly down around her waist.
He's never done that before. Her hands moved from running through his hair to unbuttoning his shirt.
Kurt pulled back and broke the kiss. "I can't do this." At least not yet anyways. He used his tail to secretly removing something from his back pocket.
Ororo sat up and kissed him gently on the cheek. "I understand." She smiled. "Well, I should get ready for bed. I'll see at breakfast."
Kurt stood up and led her to the door. "See you at breakfast."
"Nite." She kissed him again and retreated to her room.
After he gazed at her leave, he closed the door and leaned against it, sliding door to the floor. His tail placed the object he removed into his hand. A small black box.
Six months they had known each other. But, it was the four months of dating that lead him to this point. She never saw him as a monster, but as a man even without his image inducer. He flipped open the box and looked at the sparkling ring. One day, she will be a part of his family too.

"Senator Creed has been creating quite a stir in the mutant controversy." Magneto stated. "He's even worse than Senator Kelly was."
Sabretooth growled in agreement. "What are we going to do about him?"
"Senator Creed will be at a debate next week with Dr. Hank McCoy." Magneto eyed over across the room. "Mystique will be present to hear the debate disguised as Senator Kelly. After the debate, Mystique will take care of him."
"And what will you be doing?"
"I will on another mission." Magneto watched as Pyro flipped open and close his lighter. "And you and Pyro will be on another."
Sabretooth growled. "Wolverine."
"No, even better." Magneto smiled.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:
In case anyone is confused, Kurt and Ororo are dating. It took two months for him to ask her out anywhere. Use your imagination from there.
Scott is out of town doing some soul searching.
I made Kurt 33 (34 years ago when he was conceived) and Graydon 31 because you have to be at least 30 to be a senator in the US.
