WANDA'S LIFE
CHAPTER 6: THE WITCH, THE ELF AND THE KAT
It had been a couple of weeks since Kurt had moved in and Wanda had to admit that it was great having Kurt around. The place seemed less empty and not to mention he was great to hang out with, plus he was getting Scott to loosen up a little too. Plus at least now she didn't feel like the third wheel at times when Jean and Scott were getting a little close. She was more resolved now then ever to get those two together and after dinner on a Wednesday she had asked Kurt to see her in her room.
Kurt wasn't sure what she was up to but suddenly felt a little nervous standing outside her door at that moment. He wasn't sure what she meant when she wanted to see him and there was a part of his mind that thought that maybe she wanted to see him privately for something of a romantic nature. He put that thought aside, okay so she was attractive he knew that the moment he saw her but here was no way she was interested in him of all people.
"Vanda you here?" He asked as he poked his head in.
She was at her desk going over some homework and looked up at him. "Kurt come on in, I got something to talk to you about." Kurt nervously walked in especially when she got up and sat on her bed and motioned for him to sit next to her on it. "Kurt...have you noticed how a certain two people here are getting a little close but won't do anything about it?"
If you could see Kurt sweat you would at that moment. "Uh...W-who do you mean?" He asked innocently.
She leaned in and smiled. "I think you know who...I'm talking about Jean and Scott." Kurt felt both relieve and...a little disappointment in that. "You see I've known those two for years and I think they both feel for each other and I mean more then just friends. So...you want to help me play matchmaker?"
Kurt thought about it, those two did seem to be a little close for just friends. "Ja I've noticed that too...you zhink ve can help zhem see zat?"
She shrugged. "Couldn't hurt, I mean if I work on Jean and you work on Scott it might work. So...you in?"
Kurt grinned even if they didn't manage to do anything this was going to be fun. Ja, I'm in." They made plans to try out 'The Plan' as Wanda called it but unfortunately they had to hold off on it because Jean had to leave with the Professor, apparently he had found a new mutant last night and they were on their way to get her, Jean was able to get out of class with the Professor, he just called her in sick because he felt the girl would react better to someone his own age. The others still had to go to school though and it was pretty much normal, in fact she was surprised to see that Toad had been avoiding her a little and was thankful for it.
It wasn't until the afternoon when Jean and Xavier got back in the X-Jet. They all heard the Professor in their head and they all made their way to the hanger to see the new arrival. Wanda and Kurt had teleported there and when they got there, there was a small yelp and a thud.
They both turned to see a slightly petit girl with brown hair in a ponytail in a pink shirt and jeans looking up at them from the ground in shock at their appearance, the girl was also somehow half-half into the ground too like she had sunk in. "W-what is he?" She said looking at Kurt.
Kurt felt the familiar pang of hurt that always happened when someone usually saw him the first time and freaked out. Wanda was annoyed and a little angry that she had said that. "He's name is Kurt and he's s mutant like us." She saw the look the girl was giving her and looked at Kurt. "Okay so maybe a little more unique then us but he's a nice guy. I'm Wanda and how are you in the ground like that?"
"Huh?" She looked down and saw for the first time that she was phased practically in the floor of the metal hanger. She phased her way up and stood up looking a little nervous. "I'm Kitty Pryde and I guess I can move through things."
"Indeed, in fact she can phase through any type of mater." Xavier said rolling down the ramp in his wheelchair with Jean behind her. "Wanda will you show Kitty here a room that she can use? Perhaps the one near Jean's."
"Um...sure. Come on Kitty." Wanda said and as Kitty grabbed a bag of her clothing she had dropped walked with the other girl. They rode the elevator up in silence as Kitty was wondering if this was the right choice to leave her home and family but when the doors opened and she saw the mansion her mouth dropped.
"Oh...my...god...this place is like so huge."
Wanda was a little amused at her reaction, she bet everyone had the same one when they saw the place. It was also she noticed the valley girl accent. "You're not from Beverly Hills are you?"
"No I'm like from Illinois, why?" Kitty asked.
Wanda just shrugged. "No reason." They went up the stairs and through the halls until they reached one of the doors when Wanda pulled it open Kitty gasped at the size of the room, it was twice her old one with a little room to spared.
"Wow...I could so totally get used to this." Kitty said looking around and setting her bag on the ground. There was a buff of smoke as Kurt appeared with the rest of her bags and Kitty jumped.
"You luggage frau Pryde." Kurt said with a smile and put them down next to the bed.
"Uh...thanks." Kitty said a little uncomfortable around Kurt he seemed to see this and nodded then disappeared again. "Eww...does he always like so that and what's with the smell?"
Wanda shrugged. "It takes a little getting used to but it's one hell of a ride, you should try it sometime."
"Uh...I think I'll pass."
Kurt was in his room at that moment thinking about the new girl. She sure seemed pretty but she also seemed to be scared of him, well not scared more like a little uncomfortable. Maybe he could help her out with that try to get her to see past his appearance like the others had? He had to admit that if she got over his appearance then maybe she would like him too? 'What about Wanda?' His inner voice asked him. 'I thought you liked her?'
It was true...but he figured Wanda only saw him as a friend and nothing more. 'Then what makes you think this girl will like you? It's not like anyone could unless it was with the holowatch.' It said and he wished that thought hadn't shown up. He looked at his blue face in the mirror and wondered how anyone could care for someone like him, he wasn't sure how his parents had taken him in looking like he did.
He thanked God almost every night when he became old enough to understand how lucky he was to have been taken in by them. But caring parents were one thing...this was something else, having a girl like you was completely different. He remember the tale of Beauty and the Beast when he was a kid and he asked his mother is anyone beautiful like the woman in the story would love him for who he was.
She of course said, that for every person in this world there was someone for them, like two halves of a whole. He wondered if he ever would find that someone.
So far for the week things were going along smoothly with Kitty. Wanda found out that despite her appearance and the way she talked she was actually quite bright, okay she was a walking brain on legs and wondered if she would help her out in a few classes. She also noticed that Lance from her hometown had shown up here at the Brotherhood Boarding house with Toad.
Everyone knew that something was up now, and Xavier had explained that the Brotherhood seemed to be a new group in Bayville like theirs only they worked for someone else. When Wanda asked who Xavier didn't want to say but Wanda could tell it was something important and she pushed on wanting to know who was behind this Brotherhood. When Xavier had said Magneto every light bulb in the mansion had to be replaced, luckily nothing else had been broken.
That had put Wanda in a nearly perpetual bad mood knowing that her father was near, she hadn't seen or really thought about him in years, she actually had hoped to never see him again but it seemed like fate was bringing them together and she didn't want that. If it wasn't for Jean and Scott trying to cheer her up she might have gotten a lot more depressed.
Also Kurt was there to help and she had to admit he knew how to make you feel better either by just his attitude or when you talked to him and she meant the serious kind of talking. She had done that a lot with Kurt lately, he was such a good listener and caring. She felt she could tell him anything and she did. But there was one more problem.
Lately she was getting a little jealous of the attention he seemed to be giving Kitty. She was nice and stuff but with Kurt she was still uncomfortable round him, she wasn't as bad as before but she never touched him and always moved slightly away when he sat down next to her, even with the hologram on. She hated to see him treated like that and she saw the sad looks on his face when he thought no one was looking when Kitty acted like that.
She couldn't take it anymore, Kurt was her friend damn it and he didn't deserve to be treated like that, he was too good a person for that kind of crap. Wanda had had enough of Kitty's attitude and sent out to find her. She found her in the living room with Jean talking. "Oh come on Jean, you got to admit that Scott is like so cute in a commanding type of way."
Jean visibly blushed a little. "Kitty he's my closest friend, we've known each other for years."
Kitty grinned. "I didn't hear a 'no' or anything in there. Come on you got to like admit that he's cute, you mean you've never thought about him like that...or say dreamed?" Jean blushed a little more and Wanda decided to save her friend from Kitty, besides she needed to talk to her.
"Kitty I'd like to talk to you." Wanda said sternly and Jean noticed the look in her eyes and knew this was going to get ugly. Jean got up to leave.
"Well I got something to go and do." She said making an excuse to get out of line of fire.
Wanda nodded and turned to glare at Kitty. Kitty for her part looked at the other girl with a little fear, she never seen Wanda so mad and was wondering why she was acting like she was. Then Wanda spoke up. "What the Hell is your problem?" Wanda shouted at her in anger.
"W-what do you mean?"
"I'm talking about how you're hurting Kurt!" Wanda snapped at him. It was also at that moment that Kurt himself was walking the halls, he was feeling a little down and wanted to watch some TV but when he heard the shouting he stopped outside the doorway. He wasn't sure if he should just teleport out of there or listen in but his curiosity got the better of him.
"What are you like talking about?" Kitty said defensively.
"What I'm talking about is all Kurt has tried to do is be nice to you and all you do is scream and look at him like he's a monster. Do you have any idea how that makes him feel? Don't you see the hurt and pain in his eyes when you do that? What did he do to deserve you treating him like that?"
"Hey I'm not trying to be mean!" Kitty told her getting up. "You think all this is easy for me either? I mean here I was just a normal girl then I find out I'm different, I nearly see my parents killed, and now I had to leave home to this place. I mean I'm not even used to me being a freak! How do you expect me to handle Kurt?"
"First off, we're not Freaks!" Wanda got right in her face. "Secondly it shouldn't matter how Kurt looks, if you just got over yourself you'd realized what a great guy he is. He's the most kind, gentle soul I ever met and not to mention I like having him here, he makes the place a nicer place to live in."
"You sound like you like the guy." Kitty said in a normal voice realizing where some of Wanda's anger was coming from.
"I do!" That had shocked even Wanda a little. She knew she thought of Kurt as unique and even beautiful in his own way, but she didn't realize how she was starting to feel about him. "I do like him, but he only sees me as his friend. He tried so hard for you to like him and not to see him as frightening and to gain your attention that you don't realize how lucky you are. You treat him like garbage and you don't realize that he's most likely the best person you'll ever meet." With that Wanda felt tears in her eyes and turned and left the room. Kurt heard her coming and teleported to his room.
While in his room he couldn't stop about how Wanda had just confessed her feelings about him like that. He was surprised to say the least and he didn't know that she had liked him so much. He felt bad trying to gain Kitty's attention that he seemed to over look something he already had. He thought about how much time he and Wanda had shared lately and suddenly started to realize that he liked being around her. He wondered if there was a possibility of him and Wanda working out as a couple?
Sure she was the firs girl to show this kind of interest in him so maybe this was fate. Maybe Wanda was the one girl that he hoped for that would see past his appearance and care for the person he was on the inside. He thought Wanda had just liked him as a friend so he had focused his attention on Kitty, but it was obvious that Wanda did like him more then just a friend.
He had to see Wanda but first he had something else to take care of.
Kitty was sitting in on the couch thinking about Wanda had said. Looking back on it she had been pretty mean to Kurt, it was just tough for her to get used to him especially since he always popped out of nowhere all the time didn't help matters either. She just wished he didn't try so hard. "Kitty?" She recognized Kurt's voice and expected to see him right next to her hanging upside down or something, but was surprised to see him by the door with a serious and yet sad look on his face.
She had never seen him like that, he always seemed so happy and stuff but this was a different. "Yes Kurt?" She asked and tried not to flinch when he walked over and sat down next to her. He was looking down at the ground not looking at her.
"Do you hate me?" The question wasn't something that she had expected of him. "Do you...do you zink of me as a monster?" She could hear the pain in his voice and she looked at him, really looked at him and being like this, just sitting there acting normal and not the goofball that he normally acted allowed her to see something else.
"I...no I don't Kurt." She said and when he looked up she looked into his yellow eyes and for the first time saw in them a sadness she never noticed before, it was a sadness that she had never seen in anyone's eyes. "It's just...Kurt you like try way to hard and well...I'm still adjusting. Having you appear all over the place and stuff without getting use to..."
"To zhis." Kurt said sadly gesturing to himself. "Believe me I know...I've...I've had to life my entire life vith people calling me demon, freak and monster...I vish I could say I'm used to it...but you can't get use to zat."
Hearing the pain in his voice made Kitty feel so bad about how she treated him, her acting like that most likely was just the same as those other people. She suddenly realized just how a horrible person she had been to him and regretted how she acted. Seeing him now like this...he was normal she realized under all that fur was a boy like any other that just wanted to be accepted and her heart broke for him.
"Oh Kurt...I'm...I'm sorry for how I acted it's just not easy for me...I thought my life was normal and then all this happens and I feel like I'm drowning in all of this...I...I don't want to be afraid of you." She said softly and gently reached out with her hand and placed it on his. She was amazed at how soft his fur felt.
Kurt looked at her and he smiled a little. "You zhink zat...zat vhen you do get used to all of zhis new life zat you and me can be...friends?" He asked hopefully.
"Yeah...I think I would like that...just...just give me time to come to terms with all of this. And stop trying to scare me all the time with that teleportation will help too." Kitty said with a small smile.
Kurt grinned. "I'll try...but I make no promises." Kitty saw that Kurt was back to his goofball self and it was now she wondered if that was just a part of who he was...or just something he did to make things more bearable. Kurt got up. "Vell I'm glad we talked, but zhere's someone I have to see."
Kurt walked out of the room glad that he made some progress with Kitty, he knew that his appearance wasn't easy for a lot of people to handle but it seemed that eventually Kitty would come around and would accept him, it would just take a little time. Now he had to see Wanda.
