Lockheed climbed onto the windowsill, looking over his shoulder at everyone in the kitchen. Sighing softly, he spread his wings and he soared off to do something he hoped would help them out. ***
Johanna sat in a chair across from her mother and father, looking at them as seriously as possible under the circumstances. She wished she had gone with her brother a few times, but she knew she had to give her parents a chance to explain everything, so here she was, sitting with a cup of hot cocoa with her parents and the rest of Excalibur in the kitchen.
"Start from the beginning." She said softly, holding her mug in both hands. SkyElf and StarPryde looked at each other for a moment, and then SkyElf started to speak. ***
"I need a one way ticket to New York." The woman at the counter looked at the young man standing in front of her and she cocked an eyebrow slightly.
"For which flight?" she asked. Kurt frowned, looking up at the sign.
"Whichever is the soonest." He said. Nodding, the woman started to type it into her computer.
"Aren't you that son to two members of Excalibur?" she asked as he paid for his ticket.
"..."
"I understand. You want to try and keep a low profile." She said, winking at him with a smile. "I'll tell everyone to let you have your privacy." Kurt pocketed his ticket before he shouldered his bags again.
"Danke." He said, turning and walking off to go and sit down to wait for his flight to arrive. ***
Lockheed was off in a forest nearby; hanging out with his larger version from the same world SkyElf and the others had come from. After all of the adventures with the Cross-Time Caper, Big Lockheed had decided to go and live in a forest by himself, wanting to have his privacy.
That didn't mean he didn't like getting visited by his little doppelganger a few times though.
He had been dozing off in the light of the sun when his little friend came, looking like something was very wrong. Frowning slightly, Big Lockheed rolled onto his feet and he watched his little friend land in front of him, tilting his head to one side as he let out a low growl; speaking in the ancient tongue of the Dragon.
#What is the matter, little friend?# he asked, lowering his head slowly.
#It's about Kurt.# Little Lockheed said, his tail flicking slightly. Big Lockheed frowned a bit.
#Which Kurt? Nightcrawler, SkyElf, or the son of SkyElf who is yet to choose a codename?# he asked.
#The son of SkyElf# Little Lockheed sighed softly. #He found out about your world and...#
#His anger for Nazis burst?# Big Lockheed offered. When Little Lockheed nodded, he cursed softly, lifting up his head as he sniffed the air lightly. #It will not be easy calming him down you know.# he said.
#We have to try and track him down for them at least.# Little Lockheed said. #We can't lose track of him!#
#I agree.# Big Lockheed nodded. #I will scour the skies for any signs of him. When I do find him, I will come to the Lighthouse to show you where he is!# Little Lockheed flapped his wings, fluttering into the sky with a smile.
#Thank you.#
#We Dragons must stick together with our friends.# Big Lockheed shrugged, spreading his great wings and lifting into the sky with a single flap of them.
Lockheed watched his doppelganger fly off before he sighed and turned to go back to the Lighthouse, wondering how Johanna was taking everything. ***
"So you were forced to do those things?" Johanna asked slowly, tilting her head to one side. When her parents and Fay nodded, she bit her lower lip, looking at the ground for a moment.
"But what about this." She said, holding out issue eleven. "Dad you tried to..."
"Marvel likes to exasperate things." SkyElf sighed softly, looking at the poorly drawn picture of himself. "I never threw her on the bed. I pushed her up against the wall and what I WAS going to do was tell her to scream and act like I was raping her. Moira had told me to do it to get W.H.O. to listen to her demands. Like I said, I hated that bitch... No offense to you of course." He said, turning to Moira of Earth 616.
"I jus' wish I could meet tha' bitch." Moira growled, narrowing her eyes slowly. "Ah'd show her a thin' or tae, if ye kin ken it!" SkyElf couldn't help but laugh softly as he shook his head.
"What happened after you were sent back to your own world?" Johanna asked, wanting to stay on topic as much as possible.
"Hauptmann Englande tried to blame me for our failure." StarPryde said. "But your foolish father took all the blame onto himself!" ***
Kurt boarded the plane hurriedly, taking a window seat and sighing softly as he rested his head on the cold glass, his tail curling around his knees slowly as he got comfortable.
He wanted to get as far away as possible from his parents and Excalibur. He needed time to think this out properly, and he figured going to New York City was the best answer since they would most likely think he would go to Bavaria or something to be with another Romani tribe.
Ha! He wouldn't go anywhere near a tribe that would have a man like Nightcrawler, who accepted Nazis into a league that was supposed to protect life instead of gas and burn it!
Johanna... She was a fool to stay behind and suggest actually listening to their parent's excuses for doing what they did! No wonder his father tried to give the Nazis excuses when he and Johanna were being home schooled about the Holocaust! The bastard was trying to defend his own actions against his own people!
And then there was his mother. They had shaved her bald and humiliated her! And yet here she was; married to one of her tormentors like it was no big thing!
His stomach clenched at the thought and Kurt frowned, resting a hand over it to try and make it still.
He just needed to reach America.
After that, he would be able to relax and think about everything properly.
