Disclaimer: These wonderful characters do not belong to me, but the wonderful team who created them. Stan Lee, I salute you!!! The only thing I own is the X-2 DVD.
Chapter1
Golden-eyed Kurt Wagner, newest addition to the X-men, sat in his windowsill, enjoying the summer breeze wafting through it. It was nighttime, and the stars were out. He felt reverent, and for the first time since arriving at the school, he felt like he belonged. They have barely arrived back when the media circus had arrived, let on by Striker's associates that there was a large group of mutants living there, and now there was a small encampment of mutant protesters outside the gates. Each day, they called for them to come forward and 'receive justice'. His newfound friend Ororo, or Storm, as the others called her, was none too happy about their jeers and catcalls whenever Scott or Logan went into town.
Kurt just shook his head. He almost didn't care anymore what people thought. He had developed an, 'easy come easy go' attitude about the reporters and activists. But other things, like people wincing when he teleported, looking away when he addressed them, or some people gasping when he smiled. That bothered him, the fact that even other mutants did not enjoy his company, all except Ororo. As he looked at the stars, he remembered her saying how his markings were beautiful.
He used to look at the stars often when he was still with the Munich circus. He would slip away from the quiet chatter of the fireside, and would gaze up at the stars, feeling small and less noticeable. What he wouldn't have given for no one to notice him. But he seemed to cause problems wherever he went. One night, he wanted to run to the quick mart nearby and get a package of sunflower seeds, but he even had to refrain from that. He could see the headline now: Dangerous Mutant Buys Sunflower Seeds! Sometimes, he just couldn't see why God had given him such a hideous and obvious mutation. Sometimes, he didn't want to believe in God, for what kind of God would such pain.
'God's plan,' he thought, ' how many times have I heard of God's plan? I would like to understand God's plan more than he is letting on.' He knew he wasn't supposed to understand, but he would like to see how barring him from a normal life could help anyone. He thought if he went with the X-men, he could fulfill some kind of plan, but life was no better here than out in the streets, or with Stryker. He shuddered at the name.
But he knew that wasn't true. He now had friends. And Ororo. He sighed. He just didn't understand. He leaned out a little farther out the window, seeing some of the students cooking something over the fireside a little farther away from his window. Before he knew it he had let go of the sill, and was falling to the ground. He fell so fast; he didn't have time to teleport to the ground. He hit the ground, happening to land directly in front of Ororo. Then he blacked out.
Well?????????????
Please review, I'm desperate!!!
Tanx anyway,
