As Kitty spoke the entire time, Kurt 616 kept his gaze on his twin, his
tail swaying slightly as he thought quietly to himself. His ears pricked up
when Kitty mentioned the rapes Hauptmann Englande committed on both of
them, and he looked at his twin with even more interest. When she finally
finished their tale, he sat silently, looking from his twin to Shadowcat's.
"You're telling the truth?" he asked, all ready knowing the answer."
"Yes." Kitty nodded. He turned his head to one side, narrowing his eyes faintly as his tail curled up in a slight ball. When he turned back to them, he smiled.
"I don't think the others will object when I tell them your story. You are both welcome to stay here and join Excalibur." He said, standing up. Smiling, Kurt stood up and he held out his tail. Kurt 616 held out his and the two tails entwined lightly and they shook lightly as Kurt 616 shook Kitty's hand.
"Welcome to Excalibur then. Although, you both shall need to choose different codenames I'm afraid. I rather like mine and I don't think our Kitty will give hers up so readily!" he admitted with a laugh.
The next time TechNet came to take Rachel, they faced the normal Excalibur along with their two new members, StarPryde and SkyElf.
Overtime, Kitty was finally able to grow her hair long, but she kept the scar on her brow. She even went so far as to get rid of all the make-up she had first bought. When asked why, she said that the reason she chose the name StarPryde was because when she was in her own world, she was forced to be disgraced of her religion and her people, but here, she could embrace her Jewish heritage which included the Star of David. That was why she did not wish to hide a symbol of her faith with make-up like it was something disgusting.
Her costume was one she made up herself. It was a leather body suit a pure white color with red markings here and there, each name representing a member of her family that had been stolen from her by Hauptmann Englande and the other Nazis. She kept two curved daggers strapped behind her back, another two in front of her, and two additional ones on both ankles, her aim and swiftness with them almost making her as fast as Quicksilver himself.
Kurt worked well with his twin, and the two were often seen working together or simply lounging around speaking in their native tongue together, mostly about their different Romani tribes and their different fates. The first thing Kurt did was ask his twin if Feur and Jimaine were still alive, and he heard that everyone was alive and well, he wept openly in joy of this.
The reasoning behind Kurt's name was due to his adopted mother Margali, who when he was younger would often play with his curls or his fur and call him her SkyElf because he looked like an Elf with fur the color of the virgin sky. Not only that, but he grew his hair longer than his twin's, keeping it in a silk like ponytail at all time with a small piece hanging over his right eye.
His chosen costume was a simple pair of leather pants the same shade of blue as his fur. When his twin pointed out that they often got shot at, he slipped on an old vest Jimaine had once made him. When his twin made another comment about this, he merely shrugged and said that if he was shot; at least he would be wearing his sister's gift with pride instead of that stupid skimpy uniform in shame. His weapon of choice was his rapiers, both of them strapped on either side of his waist.
Even though Kitty was worried about what the others would think when they discovered the two were lovers, they were only met with raised eyebrows and it was their twins who suffered most of the light-hearted ridicule, most of them simple ribbings that Kurt 616 had robbed the cradle in another universe.
The two were so happy with their new life and friends. At first, Brian expressed concerns that the two were simply spies sent by his twin to gain their trust before the rest of the force came, but Kurt 616 waved this worry away and said that he trusted that what they had told them was true because of the harshness of it. ***
Hauptmann Englande had been furious when the two pieces of meat escaped, leaving behind a destroyed machine that he had worked so hard on. He had tortured the scientist to death, and when that was finished, he ordered the scientists to work faster and harder on another machine.
No one was allowed to get away from the Third Reich and live to talk about it. He was going to get those two back, and he was going to make them suffer dearly for it! ***
"Mein Herr?" Hauptmann Englande looked over his shoulder and glared at his stupid wife.
"What do you want?" he demanded. Meggan hesitated for a moment before she walked up.
"It's finished." She said softly. "The machine I mean." Hauptmann Englande got to his feet in a flash, and his eyes blazed with fury.
"Are you positive?" he asked. Meggan nodded, lowering her eyes. Bursting into laughter, Hauptmann Englande hugged her tightly and then ran off.
"Then we need to prepare! Hot damn! Nightcrawler and the Jew will wish they had stayed when I am done with them!" he shouted.
When Hauptmann Englande was gone, Meggan hugged herself tightly, closing her eyes. She had wished that the two had taken her with them, but she figured that they had not told her because she may have accidentally told her husband. She didn't blame them for this, and she wept for them in the lonely room.
"You're telling the truth?" he asked, all ready knowing the answer."
"Yes." Kitty nodded. He turned his head to one side, narrowing his eyes faintly as his tail curled up in a slight ball. When he turned back to them, he smiled.
