AUTHOR'S NOTES: I figured that seeing as Kurt is small and grew up in Germany he'd be speaking more German so I used what I'd learnt in German lessons and put it into use here. (Translations at the end)

Chapter 8: Natural Change

That night Rouge heard a thump and slowly opened her eyes, looking around. She heard crying and turned on the light. A little girl had fallen out of Kitty's bed. She got up and walked over.

"What's your name?" she crouched down.

"Katherine, you can call me Kitty."

"I'm Rouge."

Kitty smiled. "That's a funny name."

"Come on," Rouge helped her up and back into bed. She laid the cover over her, "you gonna be okay now?"

Kitty nodded and her eyes drifted shut. Rouge smiled and went back to bed herself; turning out the light.

In the morning Rouge woke up to find Kitty standing next to her with another small person. He was covered in a bluish fur.

"This is Kurt," Kitty smiled, "he's my friend."

"Guten Tag," Kurt smiled.

"Hi," Rouge got up and looked at the two small children, finding it hard to believe who they actually were, "you two want to come downstairs for breakfast?"

"Frühstücken?" Kurt asked slowly.

Rouge opened the door and walked out, she stopped just outside and looked back in; they hadn't moved.

"You two coming?"

Kitty took Kurt's hand and they followed Rouge downstairs.

They walked into the dinging room and everyone turned to looked at them.

"Kitty turned last night and introduced me to Kurt this morning," Rouge as down.

"Frühstücken?" Kurt asked again.

"Ja, frühstücken," Eddi smiled at him.

The two children sat down and started on breakfast.

"So, who else has regressed?"

"Katherine Pride, the intangible and Kurt Wager, the teleporter."

"How old?"

"They are both four-years-old."

"You're doing well."

"Thank you."

* * * * * * * * * * * *

"I have no idea on how this is happening," Eddi fell back onto the sofa.

"It looks like Adam will be the only one to remain grown-up."

"I just hope it never goes that far," Adam sighed as he sat down.

"I agree."

"Why did Kurt and Kitty regress? Neither have any relation to a lab."

"Kurt has," Xavier looked over, "Magneto's lab."

"But Kitty hasn't," Hank sat down as well.

"Maybe it's started to effect natural mutants as well. Who knows?"

"Whatever's happening, it has to stop."

"Agreed."

The six children were playing outside and laughing. Suddenly a black, unmarked van drove up and skidded to a stop near them. They all stopped and looked over. The door opened and several people ran out. They started for the children. They managed to move out the way and the people started chasing them.

One managed to grab Emma and ran back to the van. Soon after Kurt and Kitty were caught and then people left. Jesse, Brennan and Shalimar ran inside and went straight to find Xavier and the other scientists.

"What's wrong?" Adam looked up.

"There was this van and people came out and then they grabbed Emma and Kurt and Kitty and then they left and then we ran in here," Jesse told them.

* * * * * * * * * * * * AUTHOR'S NOTES: This is important so I had to put it up here. I'm gonna be away from the 16th to the 30th of August. Stuck for two weeks on a tiny island, away from a computer. I'll continue writing by hand, type it up and then have a posting session of new chapters on the 31st (sometime, if I'm not 2 tired)!

So you'll have to wait for two whole weeks to find out what happens next. Mwahahahahahahahahahahaha...

See ya! The faerie enchantress. * * * * * * * * * * * *
