Part 4: Unfortunately, It's Normal to Hate

"Why didn't Esmeralda love Quasimodo?" Kurt asked from the couch, a half eaten box of cookies
was held in his hand.
"Coz," Rogue watched the ending credits roll by through half-lidded eyes. "She loved Phoebus."
"But Quasi' loved her too." Kurt glared at the credits. "Was it just because he was deformed?"
"Nah, she just thought he was a buddy."
"That's not fair. He just wanted to be loved."
Rogue turned and looked at him, "What is with your 'We Love Quasi' campaign?"
Kurt pulled himself upright and quickly downed the rest of his cookies. "I just don't think that
ended fairly." he stated, mouth full of cookies. "I mean, Quasi' sings about being in love with her
and even the verdammt gargoyles sing about 'a guy like you' and then bam! It hits us that she is in
love with the Son God or whatever and all Quasi' gets is a little girl to hug him and he is carried
from Notre Dame to the sound of the bells." he just shook his head in disbelief.
Rogue just shrugged, "Don't ask me, it's Disney."
The video shut off and the TV clicked on to the cable news channel. The reporter on the screen
had a shocked and concerned look on her face. And Kurt and Rogue tuned in to what she was
saying after they heard the fatal words.
"......the anti-mutant riots began shortly after the body of a young child was found in an
undisclosed location. The only information that was given was that the child was killed by
unnatural means, death caused by the powers of an unnamed mutant. After this limited
information was released to the public, riots and protests broke out. Extensive damage has
claimed the lower New York area and newer riots have been reported as far south as Atlanta,
Georgia."
Kurt stared at the screen which had gone from a Disney classic to scenes of violence and
destruction. "Oh mein Gott in Himmel."
Rogue slowly stood up, "Ah don't believe it!" her accent became harsher as she stared at the
people holding signs that called for the branding of mutant, concentration camps for mutants,
even the extermination of mutants.
Kurt gave Rogue a desperate look. "I got to talk to the Professor, now." with that he teleported.
*Bamf*
He left Rogue staring at the images of the newest developments in the fight for mutants.

Professor Charles Xavier heard Kurt teleport on the other side of his door. So he wasn't surprised
when he heard the knock, but then again, it is awful hard to surprise a telepath.
"Yes? Come in Kurt." He called out to the young mutant on the other side.
"Professor?" Kurt pushed open the door hesitantly, "I need to talk to you about something."
"As I recalled, I needed to talk to you earlier about something."
Kurt bobbed his head sheepishly. "Ich weiss. Aber Rogue und ich haben etwas gesehen-" he
paused as he realized that he was speaking in his native tongue. "I mean, I know, but Rogue and I
saw something that I needed to tell you."
"The mutant riots?" Xavier closed his eyes sadly.
"Ja, they are spreading everywhere!" Kurt looked confused. "It seems to have been going on since
the beginning of the weekend, why haven't we been told about them? They could start in
Bayville."
"I know. I was hoping that they would have calmed down by the start of school, tomorrow. But
as you obviously know, they have not." Xavier gave the boy a look of pure sorrow. "The Human
race is addicted to hate."
Kurt dropped into his natural crouch, which Xavier knew that he reverted to when he was
thinking. "This reminds me of the race riots in the 1960's." Kurt murmured.
"Yes, you've studied your history." Xavier nodded in approval. "And their ideas are very similar
to a certain group's beliefs in the 1930-40s"
Kurt blinked at him for a moment before it dawned. "Ach ja, the Nazis und die Juden."
"Yes."
"So what happens, Professor? What if they come to know that we are mutants?"
"We will decide when that day comes upon us." Xavier rubbed the bridge of his nose. "It is about
bed time for you, Kurt. We will discuss the Danger room incident at a later time. But do not
worry, the riots have not come to Bayville yet."
Kurt nodded and stood. "Ja, sleep is probably out though, I need to write a report!"
"But it is already pass 11 O'clock. It's a bit-" Xavier was cut off by
*Bamf*
"......late to be writing your report."

"WAKE UP!!!!" Scott's voice could be heard throughout the mansion. Kurt shot upright from his
position at his desk where he had fallen asleep and wondered not for the first time, if Scott's
mutant powers included sonic voice waves along with the optic blasts.
Kurt was dimly aware of the drool he left on the sheet of paper that was set on the desk.
Something tugged at the back of his mind.
"Scott?" he bolted out of his chair and with a quick thank you to God for his agility, got dressed
as fast as he could. Simply grabbing random items of clothing off of his floor.
Who needs a closet when you have plenty of floor space?
After a quick 'port to the bottom of the stairs, he took off in search of where he had heard Scott.
Forgetting that he was wearing his normal clothes and even had his image inducer on, he dropped
down into his four-legged run.
"Kurt?" Scott was in the kitchen when Kurt ran in. "Why are you running? There is still plenty of
food."
"Nein! I wanted to see how you were doing!" Kurt rose back up to a standing stance. "Are you
going to school?"
Scott shook his head and poured a bowl of corn flakes with one arm. "Nope, my shoulder is okay
but Mr. McCoy is making stay home one day. Then I can go back. So I have all day to finish that
homework."
Kurt took a seat at the table, "Danke Gott fur das." he fiddled with his hands for a moment,
watching the 'five' fingers move only certain ways. "Look Scott, Es tut mir leid. I am sorry that I
screwed up."
Scott sat down across from him, "No, you didn't screw up. We never really anticipated that they
had night vision, it was a mistake on my part. Should have remembered that."
They looked at each other. Kurt smiled. "Danke."
"So did you get your homework done?"
Kurt responded by banging his head against the table.
"So that's a no?"
"I finished the movie but I tried to finish my essay and I fell asleep. Can you believe that??
Asleep!" Kurt shook his head and decided to hit his head a few more times. "I spent the entire
night at my desk. Every muscle is sore. Even my tail!"
Scott was laughing when Rogue came in, "Hey Blue, what did the Prof say last night?"
"Not much really, just that the riots aren't at Bayville yet and he was hoping that it would be over
by today. But it isn't." Kurt left his head laying against the table. "This sucks." he mumbled into
the wood.
"No, ya think?" Rogue commented as she joined the boys at the table, "Not much we can do
though, huh?"
"Nein."
Scott watched the exchange. "What's going on? Riots?"
"Yeah, some mutant killed a kid and so a bunch of people went crazy and are demanding lots of
restrictions for mutants and they are destroying buildings and everything. It's gone crazy and most
of us here are just finding all of this out now. It's wild." Rogue informed him.
"Riots.." Scott looked perplexed. "This isn't good."
"Danke, Captain Obvious." Kurt muttered.
"Shut up," Scott stood and took his empty bowl to the sink. "You guys need to get going for
school, since I am not driving today, but I'll look into these riots, okay?"
Rogue and Kurt nodded before getting up to walk over to Bayville High.
By the time they got there, the Professor had turned out to be wrong.
