Disclaimer: If I owned the X-Men do you really think that this story would be on this website? It's called FANFICTION.NET for crying out loud!
Shout outs: The Incredible Nightcrawler- why thank you :)
NiteQueen- yeah, I know writers block is a pain. Thanks for saying my work is 'fantastic'. :)
Auramistealia- I meant end the chapter, not the story! lol. I wouldn't end it there!
Georgia Peach- lol, glad you like it so much so far! And thanks for putting it on your favorites list. I love seeing my stories on people's lists. Much fun. :) Good idea about ~Kitty. I'll see what I can do.
If I missed anyone, I'm sorry.
Chapter 4: All is Explained, Well, Almost
"Would everyone please take a seat." the Professor asked, waving ~Kurt and ~Kitty to a small sofa across from him. Jean sat in a ornate rocking chair by the Professor. The way the furniture was arranged everyone could see each other's faces.
"Kitty, Kurt, how did you meet these people and why did you bring them here?" Xavier asked, folding his hands in his lap.
Kurt had a feeling that Xavier already knew the answers to those questions, but for the benefit of the others he explained how he had been trying to catch up to Kitty because...and then he remembered why. Gambit and Pyro.
"Gambit and Pyro where at the mall?...hmm...please continue Kurt." the Professor said.
He continued his story, about how the girl had gotten his attention by staring at him.
"Why were you staring at Kurt?" the Professor asked ~Kitty.
"Because he was yelling my name."
Kurt continued, "and then his," he pointed at ~Kurt, "image inducer-"
"Image Inducer?" Ororo asked.
~Kurt decided it was the opportune time to turn his image inducer off. Smiling slightly, he did so.
A collective gasp was the reaction to this movement, Logan almost spit out the beer he was drinking, and Evan ventured, "Are you Kurt's dad?"
~Kurt grinned at this. "No, don't you think I'm a little to young to have a teenage son?"
Evan didn't mention that because of the fur, it was hard to guess his age.
"What are your names?" the Professor asked.
"Kurt Vagner."
"Katherine Pryde, but I go by Kitty."
Now everyone was even more confused, and Scott said "Huh?" That pretty much summed up everyone's feelings.
"Their from another dimension." Kitty said, trying to explain.
"But, how did ya get here?" Rogue asked.
"You take it." ~Kitty said to ~Kurt.
"All right, vell I start back at the Institute when our Professor Xavier, vhile using Cerebro, noticed that a lot of the Brotherhood had gathered in one dilapidated building. This was suspicious because they had been inactive for a couple months. Vhile he was 'tracking' them their signals disappeared. He told us that ve, the X-Men, should go take a look. Scott decided that since it was a populated area, even if it was dilapidated, that ve should go in civilian cloths. Vhen ve got there, no one seemed to be around. Kitty and I were sent into the building because, vith our mutant powers, ve vere less likely to be caught."
~Kurt paused, trying to remember, what happened.
"Inside, the building was in even worse shape then the outside. Ve didn't notice anyone else in the building, and ve started to contact the rest of the team when Kitty saw a door ve hadn't noticed when ve came in. She opened the door and POOF, ve vere at that mall."
There was a pause after he finished the story.
"We will try to get you back to your own dimension and figure out how you managed to get here. Until then you are welcome to stay with us." the Professor said.
"Thank you Professor. But do you even know it's possible to get us home?"
"I think we can at least try. We know a young man who might be able to build something to send you back. I will call him in the morning. If you don't mind, I'm very curious about your dimension, and could we ask you some questions about it?"
"I don't mind, what about you Kitty?" ~Kurt said.
"Shoot." responded ~Kitty.
"Well I personally would like to hear the history of the X-Men."
"A history?" ~Kitty sounded worried.
"A short, abbreviated one, basically just how our team was formed and who is in it."
"Umm, ~Kurt do you want to start where you joined the team and I'll pick up when it gets to me?" ~Kitty asked.
"Alright. I was recruited along vith Ororo (Storm), Logan (Wolverine), Shiro Yoshida (Sunfire), Peter Rasputin (Colossus), John Proudstar (Thunderbird), and Sean Cassidy (Banshee), to save the original X-Men, who then consisted of Scott Summers, Jean Grey, Bobbie Drake, Warren Worthington III and Alex Summers.
"I heard that Sunfire and Thunderbird weren't very nice to you." ~Kitty then put her hand over her mouth and said "Sorry." when she realized she had interrupted .
"That is alright, Kätzchen. Vell, they vere not 'nice' to anyone. Some peoples personalities are just not meant to be team players. That was the case with John and Shiro."
Several of the young X-Men team looked at Logan from the corner of their eyes, and then hurriedly looked away.
"What did you have to save the original team from?" Scott asked.
"From a living island named Krakoa, that used mutants for energy. It had allowed Scott to escape, hoping that he would come back with more mutants, which he did."
"The newest X-Men."the Professor said, showing that he was following the story.
"Right. Ve vere able to beat Krakoa, and vhen ve all returned to the Institute, all the original X-Men decided to leave, except for Scott. Also Shiro left, having only agreed to helping out the Professor one time....at this rate I'm going to be telling our history in to the early morning."
"Get to me! I'll be quick." ~Kitty said excitedly
"Hold on, some things must be told before you enter the story, John later died, trying to stop a mad man from escaping in a plane. Sean lost his sonic scream, his mutant power, while we were saving Japan and Jean joined the team and...." ~Kurt paused and looked at the Professor. Xavier quickly read the thought that was going through ~Kurt's mind.
"Go ahead Mr. Wagner. She can take it."
~Kurt sighed and finally said, "Jean died."
Jean's (the younger) eyes opened wider and she stared at ~Kurt. "So, I'm dead in your dimension?"
~Kurt nodded.
"How did I, she, die?"
"Your, her, abilities grew to powerful and they killed her." the Professor could tell that ~Kurt was keeping something from them but he let it slid, for now.
No one said anything for a couple seconds and Rogue could of sworn that Scott was trying not to cry.
"You can go on with the history now. I'm ok." Jean said.
"It is getting late, and you have school tomorrow. I think we can continue it after school." the Professor said. "Good night my students. Mr. Wagner, Miss Pryde, Logan and Ororo would you stay please?"
After the younger X-Men had all filed out and closed the door, Xavier said "I think there is something you are not telling us about our Jean."

Well, that was a fact filled chapter, now wasn't it? Oh, if some of you are wondering about how I spelled 'Bobbie' that's how Bobbie spells it in issue...umm....well it has no number but its called "I,the Iceman". So even if that's changed later on in the comics that's how it's spelled there, so that's what I'm going with. And the 'young man' the Professor was talking about was Forge. I don't really like Jean much but I'm afraid that the next chapter's going to have a lot of her. Sorry. Also if your aware of the whole 'Jean Saga' then you might be like "but she never dies..." but at this time where I've stolen ~Kurt and ~Kitty from the comic time line she has died. For the second time I think. I wish she'd make up her mind.
