Not too long after her encounter with Logan, Seleena was relaxing in her –compartment. She was attempting to recover form her past in part, and from the fact that Logan truly was clueless. With her eyes closed she listened to someone slowly approach her room, cattishly and on the ceiling. He did not want her to know that he was there and this was not his first trip to her sleeping quarters while be believed her asleep.
Seleena did not believe that this was any intentional invasion of privacy but rather an attempt at personal growth without her knowing she was an aid. So she did not take any offense to his visits but she did intend to put a stop to them.
With a noise and stench that would wake the dead, (if she had been sleeping) he attempted to gain entrance unnoticed. Then he took advantage of his shadow blend ability to become almost invisible to the human eye.
She did not open her eyes and allowed him the illusion that she was sleeping for a few more seconds. Then she spoke. "Mind telling me what you're doing her Mr. Wagner?"
Kurt was so startled he fell form the ceiling. Her landed with no less than his usual grace, and was quick to apologize. "Fraulien, I'm sorry, I did not realize—"
"That I was awake?" she finished for him keeping her corpse like posed. "Trust me; you'd know that I was asleep by me being naked." Kurt's entire face turned and interesting shade of purple.
Seleena sat up and opened her eyes, "well, if you plan on being embarrassed than maybe you shouldn't sneak into women's rooms when you believe them to be sleeping." She recommended smiling.
"I meant no harm." He insisted quickly.
"And none is done." Seleena replied. "But I have to ask again, what are you doing here? I'm sure there are other prettier girls you could be spying on."
"I was not spying. I was watching." He corrected.
Seleena shrugged. "Same difference. What were you watching? Just out of curiosity." Kurt faltered and looked down at the ground, but his aura gave him away completely. "It doesn't seem fair does it?" she asked motioning for him to have a seat on the up turned suitcase.
"What?" he asked back more out of confusion because she knew what was wrong than not knowing what she was talking about.
"That I look human and you don't." Seleena had about as much tact as a monkey flinging pooh but she got the point across.
Kurt shifted on his heel uncomfortably. "Seleena I—"he began to mutter an apology about how looks didn't matter but she waved him off.
"Come on Kurt. I know why you're been coming down here. If you want to talk about it, I'm here if not—well then you can leave. Cause you've been coming down here looking at me for a couple weeks now and I've been ignoring you but today had not been a good day do if you're sown here to waste my time you can leave now." She sighed and settled on the found, forfeiting her position above him. "Now, did you want to talk to me?" she asked slightly resigned realizing she had been to rough on the boy.
"Well I.." his tail twitched in frustration and he made a circular motion with his hands as though he could stir the words out of his mouth. "I wanted to see—what, what a real demon looked like." He said after a moment and what seemed like a large internal struggle.
"I guess I should tell you that looks don't matter and all that, that you've heard a hundred times before." Kurt nodded, accepting his fate. "But that would be bull shit, and bull shit never helped any one. Least of all people like us."
Kurt was shocked; no one had ever been that blatantly truthful with him before. "Like us? He asked figuring if she was going to be truthful with him, he could pay her the same honor. "I didn't realize that we were similar."
"We're more alike in the eyes of the world than you'd think. The difference is you're a mutant because of your genes and I'm a vampire because, when I was about you ate, some old lady told me I had to become one for my people. To protect them."
"But that's a huge difference!" he argued. "I had no choice, I was born this way, you became what you are, it was some thing you did."
"I believed that I had done something to have this thing live inside me, I'd kill myself immediately, without question. I am a demon but only biologically. The only thing that has ever efferent my mental stat was time! And let's get one thing straight, I had no choice! I acquired a parasite that changed; my body. A disease!" she took a breath of the dank air to calm her nerves. "But you were partially right; you didn't have a choice either, you were dealt a lousy life and left to deal with it on you own. You're an innocent Kurt. There is nothing bad in you, but like I said all that stuff about looks not mattering is bull shit. Your looks won't matter to any one that knows you. Or any one with half a brain. But if they think you look like a demon then they'll never get close enough to tell if it's true."
"Who told you this?" he asked doubt and hope mixed in his voice, and energies. "How do you know?"
"Life Kurt. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Xavier will catch his golden dream and it won't be true anymore. I'm just telling you what I know from living."
"But things have changed." He almost begged her to talk back her harsh words.
"That is true more so in the last 40 years than I've ever seen in western culture."
"See, thing change, professor will make every one see." Kurt diapered in a puff of sulfur smoke.
Seleena hoped against hope that he was right with all her heart. She'd told him society had changed, and it had but she'd never seen people chance their ways. She laid herself down on the cold concrete floor, closed her eyes, and cried. She cried for herself and for Kurt and for all the people like them that would never have a place in the world.
