WANDA'S LIFE

CHAPTER 5: THE WITCH AND THE BLUE ELF

It had been a couple of months since the Duncan incident and things were getting back to normal for Wanda. Jean was staying clear of Duncan and his friends and that was fine with her and with Scott since Jean was around more. Although she was now certain that Jean and Scott had something going on between them but neither one of them would admit it to themselves.

Although there was one problem that had shown up about last month. Wanda was at her locker at the moment between periods when of course that said problem showed up. "Hey seat cakes what's happenin'?"

'Oh God not him again.' Wanda groaned and took her books and slammed shut her locker looking at the new student that had showed up. "What do you want Todd?" Todd 'Toady' Tolensky, a slightly short kid messy brown hair, a greenish completion, yellow teeth and his tongue looked green too, not to mention he was always unkempt and smelled. He also seemed to be fixated on her and ever since he arrived had been 'stalking' her all the time.

"What? A guy can't visit the girl of his dreams?" He said with a smile.

Wanda was close to losing her anger and bent down to the guy. "Look slime ball, I don't like you like that, I don't like you period, and right now you're pissing me off."

"Did anyone tell you, you look real pretty when angry?" He asked her. That had done it, Wanda let out an angry scream and a few lights exploded. "Whoa!" Todd said freaking out and started to back away. "I-I-I can see you're busy, another time then." Then he turned around and quickly ran for it.

Wanda looked at her watch and saw it was busted. "Great." She muttered to herself. "That makes what? Four in three months?" She took it off while going to class and threw it in the nearest trashcan.

Later that day after classes she was out by the field watching the football game, she wasn't too interested in the game it's just that Jean was taking an interests in Photography and wanted to get a few action shots and of course Scott went along and she didn't want to be left out so she tagged along. She was just watching the game then when she turned to look at Jean and Scott she noticed that Scott was gone.

She looked around and saw him going under the bleachers and curious she followed. She got close enough to see what had got his attention though. Duncan and a few of his pals looked like they were roughing up Todd. Okay so the little guy wasn't her favorite person in the world but even he didn't deserved to be picked on. She was about to get into this too but then she saw Duncan charge at Scott and his glasses fell off.

She remembered the first time she had seen him use his powers, it was kind of awe-inspiring to see so much power but also kind of scary. That was pretty much her reaction when his eyes blasted Duncan and hit a fuel tank. The explosion got everyone's attention and there was pure panic everywhere.

Lucky when things calmed down and after the small fire was put out, no one had been hurt. She saw Jean doting over Scott seeing if he was hurt, he kept saying he was fine but Jean was still worried. Then she saw the limo that the Professor used and she gulped. 'Oh crap...JEAN!'

Jean winced at Wanda's 'shout'. "What?"

Wanda could hear the irritation in her voice from Wanda's thought. "Look to your left."

"Oh no."

"Oh yeah...we're so going to get a lecture from this."

Scott of course when Jean told him what Wanda had seen was nervous as hell driving back. "He is not going to be pleased." He groaned, he was also thinking about what punishments he was going to get and was glad Logan had taken off for a little 'away time', which varied from weeks to months.

"Come on Slim, it wasn't your fault I saw it." Wanda said trying to cheer him up. "I mean you were just looking out for the little slime ball, it's not your fault that jerk Mathews attacked you."

"She's right Scott, it was an accident." Jean was also trying to assure him that it wasn't going to be as bad as he was thinking it was going to be. When they pulled up to the mansion and walked into the living room all three found Xavier there waiting for him.

'Oh crap.' All three thought at once.

"Well I know that all three of you know, so I'll get right to the point." Xavier said calmly and looked to Scott. "You should know by now to be more careful Scott."

"Professor I tried, but it's not easy when you got a bazooka behind each eye." He said clearly not happy with the events of today.

"I know it's difficult Scott, and I know it's not always easy we're just lucky I was stopping by and had erased the minds of anyone that had seen you use your powers...but that discussion can wait. I'd like you all to meet someone, Kurt?" In the corner of the room they noticed someone who had been sitting in the corner he had on a cloak and hood and his features were hidden. "Everyone this is Kurt Wagner, from Germany. He'll be living here with us now."

"Cool!" Wanda shouted. "About time we got a new face, so come on dude why are you hiding?"

"Go on Kurt." Xavier gently told him.

"Alright...but you may not like vhat you see." Everyone watched as he pulled back the hood and everyone gasped at the sight of him. He had short blue fur covering his body, long bluish hair, elf-like ears and yellow eyes. When he saw how everyone reacted he flinched a little.

"Sorry about that." Jean said seeing his discomfort.

The boy who was about seventeen shrugged. "It is alright." He sighed. "I am used to it." Wanda could see the sad look on his face and felt bad about their reaction, but after the initial shock he was...well...kind of cool looking.

"So...what exactly do you do?" Wanda asked. "Or is your mutation just physical?"

Kurt smiled. "No, looking like zhis does have a few benefits." He disappeared in a cloud of smoke with an 'bamf' sound and reappeared a few feet away in the same matter.

"Cool." All three said and she swore the boy was blushing a little under his fur.

"Well can I have one of you so Kurt to his room?" Xavier asked. "He'll be in the one across the hall from Scott."

"I'll do it." Wanda volunteered, she wanted to get to know the new guy and maybe even recruit him for her matchmaker plans for Jean and Scott. She walked up to him and smiled. "Come on, grab your stuff and I'll show you around." She grabbed his arm and led him out of the room. He picked up his suitcases he left near the steps and she showed him to the room.

Kurt looked at the huge room and was amazed at its size, Wanda saw the look on his face and smiled. "Yeah I know what you're going through, I think I had the same expression on your face that I had on mine."

Kurt smiled at her and she saw little fangs in his mouth. He looked at something else on his bed, it was a strange red and blue suit. "Vhat is zhis?"

Wanda looked at it and new what it was. "That's a uniform we wear in the Danger Room for training. Everyone has their own unique one too. Mine is all red, which is my favorite color, kind of why I dyed my hair."

"It's not red naturally Vanda?"

She smirked as he heard him say her name with the vee sound, she actually kind of liked it, it sounded kind of exotic from his lips. "No it's normally black, Jean is the natural red head believe it or not, I think her hair is like that from her mutation, cause there is no way that's natural, and believe me she doesn't dye it, from what I saw in the showers that is her natural color." She noticed the look on this face and she swore if she looked close enough the skin under his fur must have turned color from blushing. "Too much information?"

"Uh...ja, a bit."

"Sorry." She looked back at his uniform and on closer look she saw a small hole in the back. "I wonder why that hole is there?"

Kurt smiled and took off his cloak and now she saw all of him. He was wearing a long sleeve shirt and pants, but she also noticed a spade tipped tail. "Whoa, you got a tail too? Can you like...move it and stuff?"

Kurt was glad that she wasn't freaked out at his appearance, she seemed nice and it was kind of refreshing to meet someone who wasn't scared of him. "Ja, I can." He moved it so it picked up the cloak on the floor and put it on the bed. "But sometimes it has a mind of its own." He said in good humor. "So vhat do you do? Power wise?"

Wanda grinned and held up her hand and a blue glow around her hand. "It took me a year to find out I could do this. I can fire these hex bolts that pretty much change the odds of things, like if there was a fiver percent chance of a gun backfiring, it would change into a hundred percent."

"Also I have to get control over my anger or else...well...when I get pissed crazy things happen so I have to keep my anger in check."

"Zat sounds hard."

Wanda nodded. "It is, especially when I first started but I'm used to it. Well you're going to like it here Kurt. Trust me on this, I was scared when I first got here...but this place is my home now." She sat on his bed. "I mean I've got a 'family' here that I never had before."

Kurt sat down next to her. "What about you real family?"

Wanda's good mood fell at that and she drew her legs up to her chest and hugged them close. Kurt could see her looking in the distance and there was a haunted look in her eyes. "This is my family now Kurt...I don't have any other family anymore."

"I-I'm sorry I...I didn't know you had...vell...something bad in your past."

Wanda sighed. "Thanks...well it will come out sooner or later so you might as well know...my dad...when my powers came out they were uncontrollable and my...my dad...he had me locked up in an insane asylum."

"What?! Zat's...zat's horrible. Vhat kind of parent vould do zat?" Kurt asked her horrified at that.

"Mine I guess."

Kurt put his arm over her shoulder. "Zen he vasn't much of a father, and I'm sorry you had to go through zat...I couldn't have been a good."

"No...it wasn't." She said trying not to cry in front of him. She hated crying in front of people it made her feel weak. She leaned against me and for some strange way it felt nice, it was comfortable and she felt Kurt hold her a bid closer. She also noticed his tail had wrapped around her waist, it was an odd yet nice sensation. After a minute she broke out of it. "You probably think I'm a basket case or something now."

"No...just a girl who didn't deserve to be treated like zat." Kurt said gently to her. She looked at him and started to realize that despite his somewhat demonic appearance he was the complete opposite on the inside.

"Thanks Kurt." She looked at him and held up her hand close to his face and then stopped short. "Can...can I touch your face?" Kurt was a little confused and nodded, she reached and ran her hand gently on his fur, it felt like soft velvet. "Wow...you're fur...it's so soft. It feels nice."

Kurt smiled a little at that, he never thought anyone let along a cute girl would ever get this close to him. "Thank you Vanda."

Man she really liked how her name sounded from his lips.

Later that night after supper, which was a sight to see since Kurt packed more food then anyone she ever saw in her life and yet still kept his weight class. She was kind of jealous that his metabolism let him eat so much and he had to do nothing to keep it off and yet she sometimes jogged around the grounds to keep her figure.

The four of them were in the living room. "So Kurt how are you doing so far?" Scott asked him.

Kurt smiled, so far he really liked this place, it was huge and lots of room, plus he didn't feel so self-conscious about his looks at the moment. "I like it, it's great!" He said happily. Then they heard a roar of a motor and Wanda jumped up with a grin on her face.

"That's him, it's got to be him!" She said happily and both Scott and Jean couldn't help but chuckle at her reactions. Kurt looked a little lost as Wanda ran to the front door. The door opened and a weary traveler walked in, Logan had come back seeing the news in the paper and thought he might need to come and check things out, he should have known he was going to be ambushed by her...again.

Wanda hugged Logan as soon as he was out the door. "Uncle Logan!" She shouted and he groaned on the inside, sure he liked the kid, okay so maybe he felt for her and cared for her but it was still strange to hear her still call him that. But he knew she did it only because she cared for him...and also cause she knew how much it irritated him too.

"You mind letting me go now trouble maker?" Logan said to her and she stepped back.

"What did you bring me?" She asked sweetly.

"Jack and squat." Logan said with a grin. "Take your pick." Wanda let out a laugh it was so good to see him again.

"It's nice to see you again Logan." Xavier said coming into the room. "I take it you're here for awhile this time?"

Logan sighed. "Yeah well when I saw the papers I figured I should see what's going on here." She looked at Wanda and she caught it.

"Hey it was Scott that did that not me!"

"Sorry but ever since what happened with at the carnival and then at that assembly you got to admit when strange things happen you're usually around." Logan said to her and she just folded her arms and gave a glare at him. Then Logan noticed a strange new scent. "You got someone else here Chuck?"

"Yes Logan we do a new student." Xavier concentrated sending a telepathic message to Kurt to join with them. In a cloud of sulfur Kurt appeared and when he saw Logan he jumped back a little.

Wanda giggled and walked over to him. "Yeah he scared me the first time I saw him too, but once you get over that he's a real teddy bear." Logan gave a small growl at that.

"So kid...you got a name?" Logan said looking him over.

"Um...it-it's Kurt Vanger sir." Kurt was kind of nervous about how the hairy man was looking at him, he suddenly felt he was looking at a predator and he was the prey.

"Have you been to the Danger Room yet bub?" When Kurt shook his head Logan got a grin on his face that Kurt didn't like to see. "Well then, let's see what you can do, don't worry I'll go easy on you...for now." Kurt gulped and suddenly felt like a funeral march should be playing.

-OUTSIDE-

It was dark out and Todd wasn't sure if this was the right choice. When the Principal had shown him what she really was, a mutant named Mystique and that he wasn't alone in the world he was kind of happy about that. That did explain how Summers' did that thing with his eyes. Plus since Wanda lived at this place she must have been one too.

To him that just meant that they were meant for each other. He was in a uniform of sorts and Mystique had told him that he was supposed to sneak in to this place and find something called a Cerebro, whatever that was.

He managed to find a window to get in and the huge place was starting to creep him out. Kurt had just gotten out of the Danger Room and now he knew why it was called that. He felt an ach almost in every body if that had been the easy he hated to see how it was when Logan was hard on him. Then as Kurt rounded a corner he walked right into a strangely dressed kid that smelled back. "Ah! What the hell are you?" He shouted at Kurt.

"Hey!" Kurt said offended. "What are you doing in here?" He shouted.

"None of your business fur ball!" And Toad lunged at him. After a brawl in the halls, the Danger Room, the halls again they finally come out in the foyer in a teleportation. Right above the stairs, Kurt landed on his feet but Toad landed right on top of Wanda who was going up the stairs at the time.

"Hey babe fancy meeting you here." Toad said grinning at her. Wanda screamed in rage and threw him off her.

"Oh that's it!" She said seeing the slime on one of her favorite shirts. She charged up a hex bolt and hit Toad with it causing him to 'jump' out the open front door and out into the yard. Toad looked up to see a thunderstorm and Ororo flying from the sky.

A lighting bolt hit the ground near him. "Oh that's it! I'm so out ta here yo!" Toad screamed and hoped out of there. Back inside Wanda was glaring at the substance on her shirt.

"Okay what the hell was that about?" She asked.

"I'm afraid it seems Todd has been recruited to infiltrate the manor." Xavier sighed. "I already wiped his mind of anything he saw that was important, but I wish I didn't have to."

"Well I'm going to take this shirt to the laundry room, I hope I can save it." Then she noticed Kurt in his uniform, she didn't notice how his legs or feet were slightly different but she had to admit...he was really well built. She smiled at him when he noticed her looking at him. "That looks good on you."

Kurt looked down on his suit. "Really?"

Wanda nodded as she walked back up the stairs to her room to change her shirt. But she had to admit so far she like having Kurt around, he seemed very nice, sweat and kind of fun.
