A/N: Hey all, this is your trusty FaTaL_fLaMe here at your service, writing
my first ever fanfiction! I love X-men so I figured that it would be fun to
write something! It was so much fun writing this, since I'm taking a German
class in highschool, so I kinda got to fool around with it! PLEASE NOTE
that I am still trying to figure out the paragraphing and grammar. so that
it will appear correctly on FanFiction.net. Bear with me until Chapters 3
or 4 and by then I should have it fixed. Anyhow, please R&R! Enjoy!
Chapter 1: First Impressions
Ellien walked through the enormous doors of the mansion. Incredible, she thought. Ever since finding out she was a mutant, she had felt something of an outcast, despite the warm, if not somewhat concerned and "freaked out" reactions of her family. It had all started when she started having those dreams.dreams in which not only she would wake up screaming, but her whole family as well. Dreams in which they saw horrible things. . . death. . .pain. . .images that Ellien did not want to remember. It hurt her terribly to see the little girls, her sisters, shrieking in mental pain from the pictures that appeared in their heads without warning. She couldn't put them through that torture, it wasn't right.
Ellien was so preoccupied with these thoughts that she didn't notice the black backside of a man with blue hair. She bumped right into him, causing the man to yelp and disappear in flash of blue smoke, and she to disappear in a flash of. . .nothing. Ellien had blended right in with the colors of the wall to the right of her, rather like a chameleon does.
Meanwhile, the blue man, who had reappeared in the rafters up above, began seeing images. Not all bad, just.mixed pictures. Pictures designed to confuse, to cause insanity. Ellien cursed out of thin air, literally, and calmed herself. She cleared her thoughts, and as she did the man felt his mind relax as well. He looked around, to the ground, and saw the young woman step out of thin air. Feeling that the mess was his fault, he quickly teleported with a BAMF and appeared in front of Ellien, causing her to jump slightly.
"Entschuldigung, Fraulein. . ." He paused, realizing with a sigh that if he was in America, he was reeeeally going to need to get used to speaking English. **A/N: Translations are at the bottom of the page** The girl, on the other hand, seemed excited.
"Sprechen sie Deutsch?!" she said quickly. For the first time, she noticed the appearance of the man. . .man? What was he? He had blue skin, almost black hair, 3 fingers on each hand, pointy ears, and the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. They were oddly pretty, with yellow irises and brown-blue around the outside of them. She regained her composure as she noticed the "elf" looking oddly at her as if he was quite embarrassed.
"Ja! Wie hei(t du? Ich hei(e Kurt Wagner," said Kurt, who was becoming excited about a friend who not only spoke German, but was pretty as well. Ellien had long brown hair, was somewhat short, and had incredible eyes as well. Many of her friends said that they were exactly like the ocean on a calm day, deep blue that they were.
"Ich hei(e Ellien Nara'Kaeden," she said with a grin. Referring to the more comfortable English, she was quick to start a conversation.
"So. . .How long ya been here, Kurt?"
"Only two veeks. . .It is mein first real home, since Professor Jean and Professor Ororo brought me."
"So, you teleport? Is that your talent?" Kurt was somewhat surprised to hear her refer to his mutation as a talent. Most saw it as something evil, as well as his appearance.
"Ja, I can move from place to place very quickly. . .Und du? You. . .ahh. . ." Kurt was unwilling to reveal some of the images that had come to his mind earlier.
"I cause hallucinations. . .Oh God, I'm sorry. . .You didn't see anything. . .bad, did you?" asked Ellien, who was getting embarrassed as well.
"Nein, nein, nicht schlecht, just confusing," said Kurt with a relieving smile.
"Good," sighed Ellien.
Kurt checked his watch and saw that it was around six, and it was about time for dinner.
"Vell Fraulein Ellien, vould you like to. . .to join me for dinner?" said Kurt, and Ellien could have sworn he went red under his dark blue cheeks.
"I'd like that," she said gently with a smile, and followed Kurt to the kitchen.
As they walked down the huge corridors the two were somewhat quiet, but relieved that both had found someone with similar interests, who was a possible new best friend. Finally they arrived at the kitchen. Four people lounged around, making small conversation, but when Ellien arrived the room went silent. Kurt was quick to come to her rescue.
"Eh. . .allow me to introduce the ze rest of ze group, here. . .Zis is Herr Logan." The scruffy, yet quite handsome, man gave her a strong handshake.
"Welcome to Mutant Mansion, kid."
"Thanks," Ellien grinned, feeling that she might actually enjoy this place after all.
"Professor Ororo. . ." The beautiful woman gave Ellien a smile as she shook Ellien's hand.
"We're glad to have you, Ellien," she said slowly, and Ellien didn't bother to ask how she knew her name already.
"Und zis is Bobby and Marie," Kurt gestured toward the two teens who looked to be around Ellien's age, about 19. Bobby grinned and came forward to shake her hand, but Marie stayed back against the wall and seemed contented with a smile. Bobby shook her hand, and as he did she felt it going numb. Ellien looked down at her blue, icy hand, and when she looked up she matched Bobby's huge grin.
"Call me Iceman," he laughed in amusement.
"Hey, no problem. I'm Ellien Nara'Kaeden, thanks for the warm welcome. I think I'm going to like it here," Ellien grinned.
Suddenly Ororo shut her eyes as if concentrating hard. She opened them after a moment, and looked at Ellien.
"Ellien, the professor would like to see you in his office. Kurt, would you mind showing her the way?"
"Nein, Ororo. Come vith me, Ellien."
Ellien gave one last smile at the group and followed Kurt out into the hallway. They walked side by side for just a few steps; then Kurt stopped dead. He appeared to be thinking, then looked at Ellien with a smile on his face.
"You know, ve could make zis go sehr faster. . .do you mind if ve just teleported to ze Professor's office?"
"Uh. . .sure, I guess. . ." Ellien was suddenly rather nervous. Kurt, on the other hand, seemed happy for some reason.
"Very vell, hold on to me," said Kurt as he wrapped his arms around Ellien's chest tightly. Ellien quickly put her arms around his back and found that it was quite comfortable in this position. Wow, he's in great shape, she thought as she could feel his abs pressing slightly against hers. Suddenly she was entirely disoriented as they disappeared in a BAMF of blue smoke. The next thing she felt was Kurt's arms coming slowly from around her chest, but she didn't want to let go.it was sooo comfortable! In a flash she realized what she was doing and let go quickly. Ellien looked up and saw Kurt's eyes looking at her with a mixture of confusement and enjoyment. She controlled herself and changed the subject.
"Eh. . .wow, that was weird. . ."
"Ja, ich bin traurig, it happens to those who are not used to it. . .Vell, zis is ze Professor's office. . .I vill vait here until you are done."
"Oh, Kurt, you don't have to wait-"
"Nein, I vill vait, und zen I can show you to your room," Kurt grinned.
"Well ok . . .Thanks, Kurt," smiled Ellien as she opened the door to the office.
"Good afternoon, Ellien."

Eh? Eh? What think you? Sounds like someone is a bit taken! Please review and let me know! Oh yeah, Fanfiction.com doesn't seem to like all of the symbols, so if you see a very misplaced period, it's prolly a set of three (. . .) and if you see a misplaced ) , it is a symbol used in the German language and can be substituted with the sound "ss". Thanks!
