"Ahhh Kurt, like, give it back!" Kitty yelled running out of the kitchen chasing her boyfriend who stole her bucket of chocolate mint chip ice cream.

"No vay, Keety!" Kurt laughed.

Kurt ran on the ceiling while Kitty had to run on the floor. She nearly crashed into Scott, but quickly phased through him.

"Hey no running through the halls!" he griped.

Kurt jumped back down on the floor and 'ported behind Kitty.

She quickly turned around and tried to snatch her ice cream back, but he just simply 'ported back on the ceiling.

"You're, like, so mean!" she said.

He laughed and kept running.

"Kurt, I swear I'm gonna, like, tie your tail to the tree next time you're outside!" she threatened.

"Ja, I'm scared," he lied.

She grunted and stopped running.

"Hmmm," she though to herself and then smirked. She phased through the wall.

Kurt looked over his shoulder and saw Kitty gone.

"Keety?" he questioned.

He jumped down on the floor and walked forward.

"Kätzchen, vhere are you?" he asked.

"Gotcha!"

Kitty jumped out and pinned Kurt to the floor. She then snatched her ice cream from him.

"Hahaha! You thought you had me!" she laughed.

"Ach, you got me, Keety," he sighed in defeat.

She planted a quick kiss on his lips and walked away.

Kurt got up and walked to the common room until he heard Xavier's voice in his head.

"X-Men, Cerebro has detected a new mutant. I want to see Scott, Jean, Kurt, and Kitty in my office please."

"Cerebro has detected a mutant in Riverhallow," Xavier explained to the four. "I need you four to go there quick and bring her here."

"'Quick'?" Scott questioned.

"She is being chased out by the villagers there," Xavier answered. "They are acting very hostile towards here."

"Zen ve better hurry," Kurt said and 'ported off.

"Come on," Jean said. "Let's suit up."

Instead of taking the X-Van like they usually did to recruit a mutant that lived not so far away, they took Scott's car since there would only be a total of five people. Plus they did not want to draw too much attention. Kurt even made sure to keep his image inducer on so that he would not scare the mutant and the villagers.

"I can sense the fear and hostility," Jean said putting her fingers to her temples as they got closer to Riverhallow. "There's a lot of it."

"We need to approach her carefully," Scott said. "Especially if her powers are deadly."

"I'm sensing telepathy," Jean said. "I think she's some sort of telepath."

"She?" Kitty asked.

"Yes, we're close enough now that I can read her mind," Jean answered. "Her name is Danielle Moonstar."

What no one noticed was a faint fiery glow in Jean's eyes.

Scott, Jean, Kitty, and Kurt piled out of Scott's car when they reached their destination.

"Remember, be careful," Scott reminded them.

As they walked closer to the village, a young girl came running towards them. She had dark skin, long dark hair, and dark eyes.

"It's her," Jean said telepathically to Scott, Kitty, and Kurt.

"Hi," Scott said to Danielle. "My name is Scott Summers."

"What do you want?" Danielle asked with fear and frustration.

"We want to talk," Jean said. "We are mutants just like you."

"You are?" Danielle asked.

"Yes," Scott said. "We understand what you are going through and---"

"Get me out of here!" Danielle said desperately. "They all hate me here! They drove me out! I have no where to go!"

"We will take you to the institute for mutants," Jean said.

"There's an institute for mutants?" Danielle asked. "Take me there!"

"Ve vill," Kurt said.

"Thank you," Danielle said.

Kitty waited outside Xavier's office to find out if Danielle would get to stay or not. She quickly jumped back when the door opened.

"Well?" Kitty asked Danielle.

"I get to stay," Danielle smiled.

"That's great!" Kitty exclaimed. "My old roommate just moved out so do you, like, wanna share my room?"

"Sure," Danielle said.

"Cool!" Kitty smiled.

That night,

Ororo, Logan, Hank, Jean, Scott, and Xavier sat in the kitchen talking about Danielle.

"She has a form of telepathy," Xavier said. "The only problem is, she has trouble controlling her powers."

"That don't sound to good," Logan said gruffly.

"She can make us experience our worst fears and dreams," Jean said. "I'm scared she'll end up emotionally hurting someone. Especially at night."

"If she has a nightmare, she could most likely enter someone's mind by accident," Xavier added.

Ororo shivered. She did not want to experience her fear of closed spaces. Logan did not want to experience his nightmare of being back in the tank having adamantium pumped into him.

"I also fear for Kurt," Xavier said putting his fingers together.

"Why?" Hank asked.

"Kurt lied to everyone about how he discovered his powers," Xavier answered.

"Really?" Scott asked.

"Yes," Xavier said. "It was something terrible that happened to him in Germany. It would be awful if he experienced it again."

Unfortunately, that was what was happening to Kurt as they spoke.

He tossed and turned in his sleep. Cold sweat was dripping down his face. He was living his past through his dream.

"No!" he screamed. "Leave me alone! I didn't do eet!"

Kitty ran into his room after being woke up by his screams.

"Kurt, wake up!" Kitty said shaking him.

"Stay avay!" he screamed.

"Kurt, it's me, Kitty!" she said.

His eyes shot open as he panted for breath.

"K-Keety?" he stammered. "Oh Gott. Eet vas horrible."

"What was?" she asked.

"N-Nevermind," he said.

"No, Kurt, tell me," she said. "What happened."

"Eet vas just a nightmare," he lied. "Nozing to vorry about."

Ororo and Logan ran into the room.

"What happened?" Logan asked.

"Nozing," Kurt lied again. "Just a nightmare."

"It wasn't just a nightmare was it, Kurt?" Ororo asked. "Danielle got inside your mind didn't she?"

Kurt frowned and nodded. "She caused me to experience...mein past," he sighed.

"What past?" Kitty asked worried. "What happened?"

"Kurt, you need to tell her the truth," Logan said.

"Okay," Kurt sighed again.

"We'll leave you two alone," Ororo said pulling Logan out of the room.

When the two adults left, Kurt looked at Kitty.

"I lied to you about how I discovered my powers," he began.

"You did?" she asked. "Why?"

"Because I did not vant you to zink I vas a....a murderer," he answered.

"Murderer?!" she gasped.

"Vhen I vas living in Germany," he explained. "Zhere vas a man who vas trying to kill innocent children. I tried to top him and...and I ended up killing him by accident. I didn't mean to, but the villagers did not believe me. Who vould? I vas ze 'demon' of ze village. So zhey tried to burn me at ze stake. I prayed and vished to be somevhere else. At home or at ze church. Next zing I knew, I vas at ze church. I had teleported zhere. Zat is ze truth."

"Oh, Kurt," Kitty said. "I am so sorry."

"Eet's okay," he said. "Ze reason I lied vas because I did not vant you to be afraid of me since ve vere held prisoner in ze same cell."

"Kurt, you're so sweet," she said. "When we first met, you did everything you could to make me feel comfortable."

She wrapped his arms around him and held him tight.

"I love you, Kurt," she said.

"I love you too, mein Kätzchen," he replied. "Vell I zhink you should be going back to bed now."

"No, I wanna stay here if that's okay," she said.

"Logan vill dice me to pieces of he catches us togezer," he said.

"Nah," she replied. "It's not like will be doing anything."

He smiled and gave her a quick kiss.

The two lay down and fell asleep in each other's arms.

Jean walked to the front doors and sent a telepathic message to Scott letting him know that she was going to go to the store to get a few groceries.

"Be safe," he would tell her every time.

She would just laugh and say, "Scott, what's the worse that can happen?"

She smiled to herself and walked to her car.

"There she is," Mystique told Lance over a communicator.

"I see her," Lance replied back while driving his car behind Jean's.

"On my mark," Mystique said raising a dart gun. "Now!" she then shot the gun and it hit Jean directly in the neck.

Jean let out a groan and slumped forward. Her car began stirring out of control.

Lance sped up and let the top down on his car. With Lance was Sabretooth. Sabretooth jumped out of the car and into Jean's. He grabbed Jean and jumped back into Lance's car. Jean's car then hit a tree on the side of the road.

"Excellent," Mystique smiled as she put away her binoculars. "Let this be a warning to the X-Men."
