relationship wise planned with her. But maybe I could through him in

Jadestar: Oh yes two more villains, and Kurt's life will get far more complicated for it.
FAMILY AFFAIRS
CHAPTER 7: THOUGHTS OF FAMILY
Kurt was outside in the forest sitting by a tree. It had been a couple of days since the whole 'sex prank' as everyone was calling it. He had to admit it was good and he really didn't want to catch them in the act for real after that little fiasco.
He was just closing his eyes and taking in all the sounds of the woods by the Institute. He heard someone approaching and opened his eyes. To his delight it was Amanda and without knowing a broad smile crossed his lips.
She smiled down at her boyfriend and sat down next to him. Kurt curled his tail around her waist like he normally did and she lightly stoked it affectionately. "So what's my cute blue elf doing out here?" She coos to him.
"Nozing much, vhy?"
"Well I was going over to my parents for dinner and they asked if you wanted to come over with me."
Kurt was a little hesitant giving what a disaster the last time was. Amanda seemed to pick up on this. "Kurt, it will be fine. Nothing wrong will happen and not only do they know your secret, they like you a lot."
Kurt sighed. "Ja you're right. I'm just a little nervous."
She leaned her head on his shoulder. "Kurt you have to remember that after everything my family liked you, and you shouldn't be nervous around them." She paused for a moment. "You know, you've met my family but I wonder if I'll ever get to meet yours? I mean do they even know about us?"
Kurt took her chin in his hand and lifted her face up to him. "Of course they know meine liebe. I told zem all about you and zey actually vant to meet you."
She smiled at him. "I'm glad I really want to meet the people who raised you. They mist be great parents."
Kurt nodded his head. "Ja, zey are."
They snuggled up to each other for a while before Amanda spoke. "You know Kurt, I know about Mystique being you biological mother, but what about you biological father? Have you ever thought who he might be?"
Kurt sighed deeply. "Ja I have. Ever since I found out about Mystique I've vondered about that. But I doubt I'll ever find out, or if she would tell me."
Amanda felt sorry for Kurt. She could feel the pain in his voice and knew there was nothing she could do that would end it all. At least not forever. As they were sitting there, they didn't notice a shadowy figure lurking in the shadows of the trees.
The figure that watched them then seemed to disappear altogether.
BRIMSTONE DIMENSION (the place Kurt goes to when teleporting)
He sits there on a throne of rock carved out of a large stalagmite, with the every permeating stench of sulfur in the air. For years he's been trapped in this hellhole. Trapped because of that sorcerer Strange. How his hate fills him, and the need for revenge only equaled by his need to escape.
He sits there in black leather boots, and a matching dark cloak over a red vest.
His name is Azazel. He's a mutant, with red skin, horn and a spade tipped tale. When looking at him people assumed he was the devil himself. Well that was just fine with him. The humans were nothing but lower life forms to him anyway.
And if could play on their fears all the better then. He looked out across at his so-called 'kingdom'. The magma flows and brimstone all around, the only things to eat were the large reptilian creatures he sometimes hunted down.
When he first arrived here from that sorcerer's curse, he thought he would die here. But he got used to the sulfur, apparently his body could handle it. And hunting proved to be a little difficult at first, but hunger is a great motivator.
For a while he had thought he would live out his life here, then it happened. From the shadows he saw someone enter then leave this dimension. And not just anyone either, he was a teenager, blue furry and had a tail like him.
While in the human world, he had a taken a following of demonic looking mutants. He gave them all a home and shelter, when the world despised and feared them. He was their king.
But the blue one was not of his circle. In fact he never heard of him from the others. Luckily the sorcerer Dr. Strange who had sealed him here, did not foresee the fact that several of his followers could access this dimension too. So he could stay in touch with the outside world, even if he couldn't physically leave.
He had sent his finest youth to find any knowledge of the boy and to report back to him here. Even though they could create a portal here, the curse prevented him from leaving unless he did it himself.
But since his powers were no longer working from the curse that was a challenge. But the boy showed him a way when he came here. And soon he will be free again.
The portal, a vortex of green and blues appeared. He smiled knowing she was back. Out of the portal, a seventeen-year-old girl stepped out. She was blue, had feet and hands like Kurt, with a tail to match. She also had wings on her back.
"Hello Jillian, what news do you bring?" He asked while keeping his composure and his anxious feelings at bay.
She stepped forward and bowed. "I have found him my Lord. His name is Kurt Wagner, and lives with a group of mutants. I have found out much from studying them for the past several months."
She coughed a bit. It was always unsettling to her lungs to be here after getting out of the portal. But she continued on. "I also manage to over hear that his mother was in fact a mutant also that works with Magneto. Her name is Mystique and-"
Suddenly she was stopped by her Lord's sudden questions. "Did you say Mystique?" His interests were definitely peaked. "Tell me...how old is the boy?"
She thought back to the records she stole from the school. "He's about seventeen. Why?"
He thought about the age and did a little calculations, then he laughed. She was confused, because he actually seemed to be happy about that particular sense of news.
He got up from his rock made throne and tilted his head back in more laughter. "Can it be possible? Can it really be?"
"My Lord what is it?" She asked desperately wanting to know.
He smiled at her. "My dear if I'm right I think I should meet this boy in person when I get out." Then he grew serious at her, and seemed to tower over the girl as he approached her. "Now we need to carry out the plan. You must let them take you in as a wayward mutant. Then you can search for what I need. Understood?"
"Yes Lord." She said without hesitation. In fact she was hoping for it. The Blue boy was a most marvelous looking boy and she REALLY wanted to meet him.
CELL IN ACOLYTE BASE IN NEW YORK STATE
She sat there alone, thinking about her life and family. She was dressed in faded jeans and a long sleeve shirt. Her long Blond hair tied at her waist. She was fifteen and was in a pure white cell.
It was a large cell with several beads, but she was the only occupant. She didn't know how long she was in there, but it seemed like forever. She wanted to see her brother again, after the fire he was the only family she had left.
Then when he was gone the 'man' came for her. He was tall with a deep voice with a metallic helmet and purple cape. She didn't stand a chance against him and he made the metal of the room wrap her up and she was flown into a sphere of some kind.
The next thing she knows, she's here in this cell. They feed her three meals a day, if the stuff they feed her could be considered food. It wasn't like the Russian food she had grown up on. There was a TV in the room with a remote. Although the TV was in the wall and behind a thick piece of glass which she once tried to punch through and only ending up hurting her hand.
There was one good thing about it. All the time she spent with it, helped her with her English. Although she had no one to talk to, it was nice to understand the programming at least.
She wondered how her brother was? Was he all right? 'He must be worried sick about me.' She thought to herself. She wanted to get out and find him, but the place was impenetrable.
She once tried to take a chair to the door and the wall and was sent back by some unseen force. From the sci-fi programming she saw, she had to guess this room was equipped with a force field of some kind.
She stretched out on her bed and placed her hands behind her head staring up at the ceiling for the umpteenth time. She had so many questions and no answers, she also though that if stayed any longer she might go nuts.
She stays there, looking at the plain white ceiling. The girl is losing all hope of freedom, of life, and most importantly seeing her big brother again. The girl's name? Illyana Nikolievna Rasputin, the sister of Piotr Rasputin AKA Colossus.
BROTHERHOOD HOUSE
Wanda was in the kitchen away from everyone. With what was going on in the past few days, she just needed her space. She tried figuring out all the different memories that seemed to be in her head.
It didn't make sense. On the one hand when she thought of her family they were happy and had been together for years. But on the other hand she had been sent away to a dark and cruel place instead.
She felt she couldn't share her feelings and thoughts about this with the others. She felt like they were keeping something from her. And she couldn't just ask them what her life was like.
Or could she?
She thought back to one of the 'pleasant memories' as she called them. It was the time when She and Pietro were fourteen and they had snuck out late to watch a monster movie their father had forbidden them to see. She remembered how they got caught coming home and getting grounded.
She went into the living room and found the boys especially her brother watching a movie. This was the perfect opportunity to test something out. She walked up next to him, trying to restrain her confusing urge to strangle him down.
"Pietro." She said evenly, which seemed to make him jump at look at her with freight before he hid it.
"Yeah sis, what's up?" He asked her.
"I just remembered that time we snuck out to watch that movie when we were twelve and do you remember what type of movie it was?" She asked trying to make it sound like she was trying to remember it.
Pietro's eyes flashed to the sides. "Oh yeah. It was a car case movie. I remember it now."
Wanda hid her reaction. "Oh yeah, it was a good thing father never found out about it huh?"
Pietro flashed a smile. "You know it, he could never catch us."
Wanda smiled and went back out the room. She claimed the stairs up to her room quietly and slowly. Her smile faded and her face dropped. 'He didn't remember.' She thought. "He didn't remember at all, and he made it all up.'
She was starting to panic. If that memory was a fake then were all her happy memories fake too? She went into her bedroom and closed her door. She went on her bed and curled up into a ball.
She began to think on all the horrible memories she was starting to have of that dark and ugly place. If those were her real memories she wanted no part of them. But if they were the truth, then that meant Pietro was not only lying about remembering that event.
It might also mean he knew about her 'fake' memories as well, and if he knew did the others know too?
She hated this. These four were the only friends she had in the world and if they were lying to her. If they knew about what was happening, then she couldn't trust them or anyone.
She had no one to turn to, and no one to help her. She had tried to contact Agatha Harkness, but couldn't reach her. It was as if she had disappeared.
She had to face it. She was alone in the world. She couldn't trust her friends, or even her own family. Now she was truly scared. Because a disturbing thought had just entered her mind.
If they were responsible for the fake memories, what would they do if they found out her other memories were coming back?
She had to make sure they didn't find out. She couldn't take the chance of what would happen.
XAVIER INSTITUTE
Night had come to the Institute, it was eight pm and the students were just relaxing in various rooms. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary, or anything seemed to be wrong.
It was a nice peaceful night. Or at least it was, until the perimeter alarm went off.
Scott, Jean, Logan, Ororo and Blink were the first to the foyer. "Anyone know who's breached the security?" Scott asked the two adults.
"No but whoever it was is going to regret it." Logan growled out and stormed outside. The lights had been turned on and they fanned out in search of who had gotten on the property.
Blink was looking into the darkness a couple of energy lances ready and also to help give off light, when she saw something on the group. She moved closer and found it was someone laying on the ground.
She moved closer still and when the light of her lances cast down on the form she gasped. "Gus over here!" She shouted. The other came running and what they saw was something they could not believe.
It was a girl of about seventeen that looked a lot like Kurt but with wings. She was wearing a long black skirt and a backless matching black top with it. "Blink take her to the medical ward, I'll get the Professor." Logan said to her.
"Should we tell Kurt too?" Jean asked staring at the girl.
"Well wait until Beast has had a change to look the girl over." Logan told him. He motioned for Blink to move one. She created a portal and with Storm's help they moved the girl through it.
"Just when you think things couldn't get anymore complicated around here." Scott said to himself.
"Shades, somehow I think things are just starting up." Logan said to him.
