(I do not own the X-men, but Kurt's secret is, to the best of my knowledge, entirely my own. Please do not sue – I have no money. If you want to flame me now, I suppose you might have a good reason – just be sure to mention what it is. BTW, I will be the judge of how good your reason is. So long as you mention it, I might even treat your flame as constructive criticism! [and yes, I do know that I'm weird, and you can't sue me for that!])
Scott walked to the professor's office quickly, wondering what he needed to say about Kurt. And why would he call Scott, Logan and Ororo, but not Jean? If whatever was going on was so important, then shouldn't she hear about it too?
She already knows, Scott, Professor X told him. Scott nodded, remembering how long it had taken him to get used to the fact that the professor could hear what he was thinking. By now, it seemed perfectly normal – if sometimes embarrassing. He smiled slightly, and went back to wondering what was wrong with Kurt. That's why I need to talk to all of you, responded the professor.
"Well?" growled Logan, once they were all in the room. "What's this about?"
"Kurt attacked Kitty 75 minutes ago," Professor X said bluntly.
"WHAT!?!?!" everyone shouted. Xavier sighed, and waited for a few moments before continuing.
"He made several determined attempts to injure her before Jean found out what was going on and restrained him. He has no memory whatsoever of what he did, even on the subconscious level – at least, as far as I could tell. When I suggested that I help him remember what he did, he broadcast the most intense fear I have ever felt from him – and that includes when he was convinced that he would die at the hands of Sabertooth!" the professor added grimly, the memory of that surge of fear plaguing him. The faces around him were shocked and appalled as he shared that memory with them, and they all agreed that something serious must be going on.
"For now, he is sleeping in his room," Xavier finished. "I think that we should keep an eye on his behaviour, and make sure that he does not harm anyone if this happens again. I also think that a medical examination might be useful, if he agrees to it. Does anyone have any suggestions for what could be causing this?" He waited in case anyone could think of an answer, but one by one they all shook their heads. "Given the circumstances, he should probably be excused from school," commented Ororo. The professor nodded as he read the reasons behind her suggestion – it would only take one mistake to show everyone at the college what he really looked like, and that would be very difficult to hide.
"True. I shall tell him when he wakes up," Xavier agreed. "It would probably be best if we did this with as little fuss as possible. Try not to make the fact that you are watching him too obvious."
"What should we tell the other students?" asked Scott.
Charles Xavier sighed, wishing for a moment that running a school for new mutants was a little easier.
"Tell them that there is a problem with his image transmitter," he suggested. "I do not think that it is necessary for them to learn the truth if this is the only time he does something like this."
"And if it isn't?" asked Logan softly. The professor pretended not to hear.
