Ororo woke up in the morning and stretched. Where was Kurt? She ran her fingers through her hair and climbed out of bed. She put on a robe and went to go find him.
She walked into the kitchen to find him telling Vi, Derek, and Evan about his life in the circus. It didn't surprise her at all.
"Guten Morgen, Ororo." He said as she walked over to join everyone for breakfast. "I was just telling…"
Ororo placed a finger on his mouth and smiled. "I know."
Kurt's tail began to wag around. She was still wearing her nightgown and she was about to pop out of the top. He turned away and blushed.
Ooops. Her bad. Ororo pulled her robe closer to her and began fixing herself a cup of coffee.
Vi smiled. Nothing my ass. She could she the sparks starting between them.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"I'm going to live in a mansion." Evan said as he looked out the window.
'That's right." Ororo pulled into the garage.
"Awesome." Evan got out of the car with a small bag and his skateboard.
Kurt grabbed Evan's suitcase out of the trunk. Did he bring the whole house? Mein Gott. What did this kid pack?
Ororo grabbed the suitcase she and Kurt shared. "This way Evan."
Kurt shut the trunk and looked around. For some reason, he felt like they were being followed.
"Come on Kurt." Ororo said pulling on the suitcase.
Xavier met them in the hallway. "I'm Professor Charles Xavier. You must be Evan. Your aunt has told me a lot about you."
"Hi." Evan shook his hand.
"Ororo, why don't you and Kurt put Evan's things in his new room, while I show him around?"
"Sure." Ororo smiled at her nephew.
"So Evan." Xavier rolled down the hallway with Evan following him. "You're aunt tells me you like playing sports. What is your favorite?"
"I like skateboarding and basketball."
Ororo smiled as she watched them leave. She knew he was going to fit in here.
"Ororo."
'Yes."
"Let's put up his things." Kurt said still holding Evan's heavy suitcase.
"Oh." Ororo snapped out of it. "Let's go."

Logan stood outside and pulled out a cigar and his lighter. He lit the end of the cigar and took a puff. "Much better."
As Logan took another puff, he felt water hit him. Damnit Ro. She's been back only five minutes. He looked around at the sky. It was a bright sunny day. Then he looked at his wet cigar. 'Shit." He didn't remember seeing a dark cloud over him. He tossed the wet cigar on the ground and pulled out a new one.
"You know those are bad for you." He heard a familiar voice say.
Logan sniffed around. "Rogue."
"How'd you know it was me?" Rogue came out behind a tree with a water gun in her hand.
"Only you wear that strawberry Bath & Body works body splash." Logan proceeded to place the cigar in his mouth.
"Na uh. Kitty wears it to."
"She wears the raspberry one." Logan pulled out his lighter. "Besides, Kitty isn't coming back from visiting with her father until later today."
Rogue pointed the water gun at him. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."
"What? Smoke?" Logan laughed.
"I have direct orders from the professor to stop you from smoking on his campus." Rogue explained.
"Oh you do." Logan challenged. "You don't have the guts to spray me."
Rogue sprayed him in the face with water.
"That's not funny." Logan wiped his face on his shirt. Then, he felt water hit him from the side. "What the…?" He looked around to find himself surrounded by the students.
"Fire."
Logan dropped his cigar on the ground and backed up against the wall. Two can play this game. He grabbed a nearby hose and began spraying the students and Rogue.
He laughed as they all ran around screaming and soaking wet with the water. As he was spraying, the water began to freeze. 'Damn. Bobby."
"Fire."
The students ran back into the action with water balloons Piotr and Jubilee brought over. Logan surrendered after being bombarded with dozens of water balloons from the students.
"Now no more." Rogue ordered him.
"yeah, yeah." For now. Logan shook his head and walked back to the house. He couldn't believe he was defeated by a bunch of teenagers.
"What happened to you?" Xavier asked innocently as Logan walked in the mansion soaking wet.
Logan gave him a stern look. "Very funny Chuck."
Xavier laughed. "Since you are all wet, why don't you gather the rest of the students to go swimming?"
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Kurt looked around Ororo's room as he removed his clothes from the suitcase. It was full of exotic plants, African tribal masks, and strange jars. It kind of made him nervous being in her room.
He glanced at the pictures arranged on her dresser. There was one of her, Jean, and Scott and a few other X-men he didn't recognize. Another of Jean and Scott's wedding. One of her with her friend, Gambit.
Then, there was one of her as a teenager. Her eyes were pearl and wind blew her long white hair. She was wearing some sort of tribal attire. She looked like a goddess. She is a goddess.
"That's from when I was in Kenya." Ororo said as she walked into her room finding Kurt admiring her pictures. "Professor Xavier took that picture of me before I came here."
Kurt smiled up at her. She still looked like a goddess. "How old vhere you?"
"About seventeen." Ororo picked up the picture. "It's probably the best picture I have ever taken."
"I doubt that." Kurt looked into her eyes.
She blushed slightly and placed the picture back on the dresser.
"How's Evan doing?"
"He's setting up his new room. He's already befriended Jaime." Ororo replied and began unpacking her things. "I think he's going to fit in good here."
Kurt nodded and headed to his room to put his clothes up. He walked down the hall into his room and put his clothes in his need to be washed basket. He lay on his bed and stretched out. It was good to be out of that car.
"Relaxing." Ororo said as she walked in his room.
"Oh." Kurt replied and began to rub his shoulders. He didn't realize she followed him.
Ororo noticed this and placed her hands on his shoulders to massage his back.
He jumped slightly. He wasn't expecting that.
"Relax." Ororo said to him. "You have a knot."
"Das fühlt gut.[i]" Kurt moaned softly and closed his eyes. Ororo sure knew how to ease his pain. He began to completely relax as her hands massaged down to his lower back.
Ororo heard Kurt mumble something in German but she didn't know what. She continued to make her way down his back down where his tail began.
Kurt let out a sigh as he relaxed. She was too kind to him. This demon must be in heaven.
As she continued to massage him, she could feel the muscle on his body under his shirt. She smiled feeling him relax as she worked out the knots on his back. He was enjoying this as much as she was.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Leonardo sat down beside his master and began meditating.
"What troubles you, my son?" Splinter asked even though he was well aware of the situation.
"Dragon Lord." Need I say more? Leonardo sighed. "He is up to something, yet I can not figure out what. It's troubling me Sensei."
"So I see." Splinter looked at his son in the eye. "But you need to be patience, my son."
That's what everyone seems to be telling me. "I know." Leonardo hung his head.
"Leo." Donatello said as he poked his head into the room. "I need you in the other room."
"Sure Donnie."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Kurt thought he was going to melt in the bed with the massage Ororo was giving him. He never felt more relaxed in his life, until…
"Hey."
Ororo and Kurt both jumped away from each other by the sound of Logan's deep voice.
Logan looked at them suspiciously. "What's going on in here?"
"Nothing."
"Nichts"[ii]
Logan glanced at each of them. "Whatever."
Ororo got nervous and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. "What do you want Logan?"
"Professor wants us to gather up the kids to take them swimming." Logan replied.
"Umm Ok." Ororo got up and turned to Kurt. "I'm gonna get changed and get Jaime and Evan. I'll see you in a bit."
"Alright." Kurt watched as she walked away.
Logan pointed to Kurt. "Ya spilling tomorrow night when we go out for beers."
"I don't know vat you are talking about Logan." Kurt replied with a thick German accent.
"I'm sure." Logan replied and walked out of the room.
Kurt sighed and lay on his back. He knew exactly what Logan was talking about.
[i] That feels good
[ii] nothing
