Kytty: Alright So I know that the song doesn't directly match. I took the songs meaning loosely;
Girl was hurt by men in her past, she met him & save him, now he attempts to protect her from the people who wish her harm, but in the end he was the one that let her get hurt, and it was only after she had left that he released that he had fallen for her.
Kytty: So there you go! Hope that makes it a little easier to understand. Flame if you must. And I'm sorry for the LONG wait this has been.
Disclaimer: HA and you thought I was Stan Lee? News flash I'm a girl, so No I don't own X-men. Song was a request from ElvenQueen18.
Aurelia is owned by some author...I can't remember who & I feel really bad about it so PLEASE if your the owner\creator of Aurelia tell me, send me a link to the fic I read with her in it so I CAN CREDIT YOU!
"She Will Be Loved"
Kurt watched as Piotr and Kitty walked off the stage, butterflies fluttering in his stomach as he looked toward the open stage. He rubbed a hand over his pale white holo arm feeling the comforting fur beneath under his hand.
"I wonder where she is now?" Kurt asked himself as he walked up to Steve for his mic.
-Up in the X-men box seats-
"It like took you two like long enough!" Kitty fussed from her seat on Piotr's lap beside Rogue and Remy.
"Y' beh une tah talk chaton." Remy drawled, but Rogue cut him off before he teased the girl about Lance.
"Woooow! What did we miss?" came a laughing female voice from above them.
The entire crowd looked up to see a 18 year old girl with large black wings coming from her back and another younger 15 year old girl dangled from the older girl's arms, who had a small smile on her face. The pair hit the ground, with a light tap of one shoed pair of feet and another bare-foot pair, before dusting themselves off.
The first had long auburn brown hair and stunningly ocean blue eyes. She wore a black spaghetti strap shirt that ended above her mid-drift and a pair of black hip hop pants, that easily had twenty or so pockets, but it was also well worn and had many tears and cuts along the pant legs. She wore no shoes, but the strangest part about her wasn't her large black wings, but the dozen or so blood red tattoos that covered her body.
"Alice dear it is great to see you again." Xavier greeted holding his arms out to hug her.
"You too Uncle." Alice replied as she rushed to hug her adopted father.
"Who's your friend Alice?"
"Oh...Everyone you remember Aurelia. I helped her escape an anti-mutants masque a few months back..." Alice explained, but when she only saw confused faces she added, "while Uncle was away?"
"OH!" the others chorused remembering the day when the two had arrived.
Aurelia smiled softly as the others came forth to greet her, while Alice filled the Professor in on what had happened. Aurelia was a small thing even for her age. She was tall but sort of thin, though they she had put on some pounds since they had first met her. Her hair was a light brown mixed with natural high and low lights, while her eyes were a matching brown that shinned as she smiled at the group. She wore a tight black shirt that ended just at her mid-drift like Alice's, though unlike Alice Aurelia wore tight red jean pants that disappeared into a pair of black ankle boots.
"Come on Aurelia! Alice! Kurt's gonna be on soon." Jubilee called to the two new comers motioning for them to join her.
The girls sat in their seats just as Kurt walked out on stage, joining the band that had set up on stage during the down time. After a quick tune up Kurt turned to the audience.
"Vell Ah hope all ov yous like da song ve are gonna play. It'z 'She will be loved' " Kurt announced into his mic as the band played the intro.
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
Aurelia shifted in her seat as Kurt's words floated out of the speakers. Old memories stirred from the darkness of her mind from the time that her family had been ambushed by MRD soldiers. She had tried to escape with her brothers, but being only ten at the time she was soon separated from them and captured.
From that day until the day Alice had rescued her, Aurelia had been enslaved by Striker who had been in control of the rogue MRD soldiers. Aurelia had been experimented on, tortured when ever she acted up, and even sexually abused by Striker's higher up mutants. Needless to say Aurelia was very emotionally unstable, the day that Alice arrived with her troop of mutants and thieves to end Striker's experiments, had been almost like a dream to Aurelia.
From that hell Alice helped Aurelia find her family. Sadly her parents had been killed during the ambush, but her brothers amazingly were able to get away and had found their way into a small complex for homeless mutants. They were all so happy to see Aurelia but she wasn't happy to see them like she thought she would be.
When they rushed her Aurelia yelped and encased herself in a telepathic bubble. Alice sent her with Theo to wait outside, while she explained to Aurelia's brothers what had happened to their little sister. After that day Alice had not let Aurelia out of her sight even for a second, and for that Aurelia was grateful.
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more
The day Alice had told Aurelia that they were going to spend sometime at her Uncle's mutant mansion Aurelia hadn't been very sure about staying there because so many other people lived there and she still wasn't all that comfortable with crowds. Soon after traveling half way across the world, they had been in Australia at the time, the trio arrived in Bayville and so arrived at Mutant Manor. Aurelia quickly learned that these mutants wouldn't push her to tell them about her past, or attempt to pry into her business. It had been on her first day that she and Kurt had really connected.
She didn't know why or what had drawn her to the woods that night, but she was pleasantly surprised to find the blue furry mutant sitting on a rock deep in the shadows. She vividly remembered the sad, hopeless, lonely, abandoned look in his vibrant yellow eyes that night.
Those eyes had reminded her so much of her own when she had watched her brothers running off into the distance, leaving her alone in the middle of no where, lying in a puddle with a twisted ankle, and the bad men coming closer and closer. She remembered the way her heart reached out to the boy, and without thinking she beside him, arms automatically wrapping around him in a tight hug.
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
Kurt remembered the day the she had stumbled into his life like it was yesterday instead of five months ago. Amanda had just broken up with him, since her dad had been killed by mutants during a trip to the mall. She had blamed Kurt because the X-men had been there and hadn't gotten him out of the collapsing building. Kurt understood where she was coming from, but that didn't make it hurt any less. That had been the night she had stumbled into his life.
She had just appeared out of thin air. He hadn't heard her foot steps but as he thought back on that night, she could have been a giant robot and he didn't think he would have noticed her. He remembered her arms wrapping around his shoulders from the side, while her fingers gently stroked the dark blue hair just under his ear.
"It'll be okay," she had whispered into the wind without looking at him.
"It'll pass." she continued as she drew back a hand and placed it over his heart.
"You'll heal and move on. Whatever hurts you, makes you stronger in the end."
He turned and stared at her. Her smile was warm and welcoming, while her bright brown eyes reflected her hard past. When the others had found out about Amanda they had given him smiles that had been filled with sympathy and worry, but this girl that he had never met had showed him the positive side of his situation. He sighed and gave her a small smile back before nodding.
"Yeah. Sank yah." he whispered back as he covered the hand, over his heart, with his own blue one.
Kurt jumped lightly when her head drop suddenly dropped onto his shoulder. He looked back at her and found her brown eyes now closed, but a smile still on her face. Kurt's yellow eyes softened as he watched this mysterious girl sleep beside him, happy to lend her a shoulder. As the night continued to tick by Kurt remembered that look in her eyes. He began to wonder about her past and what demons she might have faced in it, and instantly Kurt couldn't help but feel this need to protect this small girl.
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
From the night they had met she had changed him for the better. He tried harder during DR sessions and he stopped goofing off as much, and he began to grow and mature, in away that shocked many of his fellow X-men.
Aurelia and Kurt began to grow together. She found herself depending on him, while also loosening up around the others when he was around and sometimes even when he wasn't around. Even though Professor X wasn't there Storm and Logan, who had been put in charge, welcomed Alice, Theo, and Aurelia to stay as long as they wanted.
All soon bonded with the many different people within the mansion. Alice took a liking to Rogue who at the time had been upset with the Professor leaving since it meant stopping her power control classes with him. Alice enlisted both Jean's help as well as Aurelia and together the ban of girls attempted to help Rogue with her problem.
Theo on the other hand tended to stick close to Remy, seeing as both cousins hadn't seen each other in many years. Theo and Remy soon began playing a number of tricks on Logan and many of the younger kids. They tended to pick on Bobby the most, but several students had begun to see the snide looks and comments that Theo gave Kurt when Aurelia and Alice weren't around. It was usually Rogue or Remy who would pup Theo back in his place when ever he got caught doing this though so most didn't pay attention to the younger blonde thief.
After a few weeks round the mansion Aurelia took a large interest in the Danger Room after following Kurt into it once by accident. Needless to say both the teleporter and Logan were shocked at her sudden entrance. Logan was pleasantly surprised at her fighting skills as she sky rocketed threw the first few levels of the DR. She and Alice had been doing so good Logan even passed them enough to let them come on a few missions that weren't too dangerous.
It had been during one of these many missions, that Aurelia and Alice had tagged along for, when the unthinkable happened. They had come to the center of the business district to stop Sabretooth from breaking into some bank. Everything had been going great until Sabretooth and Logan had knocked out a support beam to one of the buildings. Jean instantly went to work in trying to hold it up, but the building was to much for her and her alone.
"Hold on Jean, I'm coming" Aurelia called telepathically.
Aurelia was there beside Jean seconds later after handing a few saved people off to Alice to take away. Together the telepaths combined their powers and successfully held up the unstable building. Scott, Kurt, Bobby, Kitty, Piotr, Sam, and Rahne went inside to clear it out before anything else happened, while Rogue, Lexa, Jubilee, Magma, and Logan were busy trying to hold back Sabretooth.
Suddenly the unthinkable happen. Sabretooth bolted past Logan and Lexa and made a beeline for Aurelia and Jean. Lowering his beast like head like a battering ram, while raising his arms out vertically he took both girls out. Kurt watched from above in fear as Aurelia's smaller figure was hit by the huge beast of a man. Without thinking Kurt teleported himself and the man next to him to the ground.
The human man scream at suddenly being on the ground closer to the insane Sabretooth as well as the fact the building now towering above him was falling apart quickly. Kurt charged forward toward Sabretooth instigating a new fight not even worrying about the building. Rogue and Lexa ran into the fray trying to help Kurt, Jean, and Aurelia. Alice flew the last of the civilians away just as the building was about to collapse above Aurelia and Jean.
"AURELIA!" the winged girl screamed catching Kurt's attention.
"Wrong Move Blue Boy!" Sabretooth yelled as he went for Kurt's jugular, but a sudden searing pain in his arm stopped him.
"Speak fer yah self!"Rogue laughed after she had absorbed him.
Kurt didn't pay much time to his sister, instead he turned quickly and spotted Jean and Aurelia knocked-out under the falling building. He ported quickly just as the building's base gave way and it truly began collapsing like the ton of bricks it was. He wrapped his arms around both of the knocked out woman's arms and ported out seconds before the three would have been crushed by the falling building.
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
By the time they had gotten back to the mansion Aurelia and Jean still had not yet woken since Sabretooth had knocked them out. Scott held Jean close, while Logan flew the Blackbird back to the mansion, Kurt sat beside Rogue with Aurelia cradled in his arms making sure as to not harm her any further then she was already.
Once at the mansion the Professor sat in the med room with Hank waiting for Jean and Aurelia. Scott laid Jean on the cot and unwillingly showed himself to the door, but Kurt refused to leave Aurelia on the cot beside Jean's. Only the comforting words of Alice and Rogue lured him out of the room so the Elixir and Hank could begin healing the two.
"Come on Kurt it's late." Rogue said as she spotted Kurt still staring at the med lab door.
"Iz not tired."
"Yes you are. Aurelia wouldn't want you to lose sleep for her."
"Thankz Rogue, but Im okay." Kurt dismissed her again, leaving Rouge to just shake her head and head back down the hall where she ran into Gambit.
"Ah don' get it Rems. He just won' move."
"Chere…Remy beh da same way if dat had been yah instead of da petite Aurelia."
Rogue could only look up into his red on black eyes for a moment before turning back to Kurt and then ultimately with Remy's hand in her's she walked away. Worried consumed her for most of that night for both her brother and Aurelia.
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
It had been a month but Kurt still stayed by Aurelia's side only leaving for food. It had been stormy January day when Kurt had returned to Aurelia's room only to find Theo there, but what made Kurt freeze was the fact that Theo was kissing Aurelia who seemed to be kissing him back as well. Before either could see him Kurt ported far away from the mansion.
He had ported himself into the woods, where rain soaked him to the bone, but it helped because then no one would know that he was crying. He screamed into the air only to get thunder and lightning in response. He stayed out there for the rest of that day as the rain continued and continues finally dispersing on the third day, yet still Kurt did not return.
Night time was the only time that he ventured out to the tree line. He knew by heart what room Aurelia would be put in and each night he would watch her. She sat on her bed knees pulled up to her chest crying. Kurt never understood why she did this but the feeling of betrayal kept him from porting to her and as the sun rose marking the next day he would once again retreat back into the woods.
I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
Aurelia had woken to find Theo sitting beside her. Slowly she tried to sit up but her head swam causing her to lean toward Theo.
"Wooo there, chere." Theo said as he stood and helped steady her but coming way to close to her for Aurelia's comfort.
"Where's Kurt?" she asked him in a groggy sleepy tone, gripping Theo's shoulder trying to push him away from her.
Before Theo could respond an all to familiar bamph sounded. Aurelia pushed the stunned Theo away from her in a surprising show of strength, but she was to late. Kurt was gone only the black smoke from his porting was left.
"THEO! YOU IDIOT!" she screamed tears running down her face as she slapped the blonde across the face.
"Aurelia...AURELIA! NO! HANK!" Theo yelled as he saw Aurelia trying to get out of bed.
"No..No..I must find him..." she gasped trying to walk, but stumbling on wobbly legs.
"Theo? What is it...OH my girl you shouldn't be up." Hank said in a worried and rushed tone as he came out to see Aurelia trying to walk.
"But Kurt..."Aurelia whispered before passing out on the floor.
The next night when Aurelia woke Alice and Hank were there. Alice told her how Kurt had disappeared, while Hank had told her that she wasn't to go looking for Kurt. That night, with Rogue and Alice's help, Aurelia moved back into her bedroom. She cried herself to sleep that night. Cursing Theo in all the ways Tante Mattie had taught her. That for sure was going to be her first call in the morning.
She looked out the window and for a second believed that she could see two bright yellow eyes watching her from the tree line. She stared into them lost in a way, but as soon as she had noticed them they were gone. More tears came to her that night, yet no blue boy came to sooth them.
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Alice, Aurelia, and Theo left a week after Aurelia awoke. Aurelia hadn't wanted to leave but Alice instead since they would be heading back to see Tante Mattie, the Guild, and the Mutant Company down in New Orleans. So with a broken heart Aurelia left the grounds, though she knew a part of her had stayed there for never again did she feel whole after leaving the mansion that day.
Kurt was there when they left, in the trees. He could of sworn that Aurelia had spotted him but seconds later she turned to stand beside Alice. Though he couldn't hear what was happening he did notice the distance that Theo kept from Aurelia. He thought it odd but once they had left he didn't think much of it, he was very heavyhearted when he ported to his room.
He collapsed on his bed, yellow eyes trained on the rolling chair that Aurelia had sat cross legged in time after time with that bright smile on her face. If he hadn't known better he would of believed her to be sitting right there once gain laughing at some joke or other. By the time Rogue came in later that night she found her brother still lying on his bed, eyes focused on the chair.
"Kurt?" she asked going to sit beside him "Where yah be'n yah craz'y bug?"
"Why'd she do it?" he asked her without looking at her.
"Who?" Rogue asked confused.
"Aurelia. Why'z she make me feel like diz?" he asked again.
"Oh, Kurt." Rogue whispered hugging her brother as best she could. "It'll beh all'right."
[in the background]
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Yeah
[softly]
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Try so hard to say goodbye
By the end of the song Aurelia had tears in her eyes. She had seen him and not just him but his very heart and soul. It had only been during the song that she had realized that she might of left her heart with him when she left, but in turn she had taken his heart away with her.
While Aurelia was busy realizing all of this the rest of the crowd gave Kurt a standing ovation. Kurt bowed once before exiting so the next act could take the stage. Rogue with an all knowing smile called her brother once she was sure he was safely back stage.
"Elloz?" came Kurt's voice from the phone.
"Hey buddy." Rogue laughed "You did great!"
"Sank you, me Schwester."
"You gonna come back to the box?"
"Ja. I'm on my way now."
"Al'right Ah'll see yah soon den."
"Ja." And with that Rogue hung up the phone with a smiled.
True to his word Kurt appeared in just a few moments. When he came though Aurelia had just stood to excuse herself. Their eyes met and the air seemed to grow thick with tension in seconds. The stalemate ended when Aurelia let out a sob and ran to Kurt.
Kurt was in shock at Aurelia's sudden appearance and even more so when she was sobbing into his chest. He held his arms out awkwardly for a moment looking blankly from the top of Aurelia's head to the others in the room. It only made sense when he spotted Rogue's knowing smile and Remy who had his arms wrapped around Rogue's waist.
"I'm..So..so..so..sorry, Kurt." came Aurelia's muffled cries.
Kurt wrapped his arms around her and pulled her over to a free chair where he began to calm her tears. He rocked her back and forth and soon she began to calm. He then used a surprisingly steady hand to lift Aurelia's head up so she was now looking into his eyes.
"Shhhh...What happen'd happen'd. All dat matters iz dat Ah love yah with all my heart, Aurelia." he whispered in her ear while everyone else turned to watch the next performance.
Aurelia giggled softly which cleared out the rest of her tears. "I love you too, Kurt. The thing is nothing happened that night with Theo."
"It didn't?" Kurt asked in a shocked voice.
"No." Aurelia giggled a little more at the face Kurt had made.
A look of pure delightment appeared on Kurt's face. With a whoop of joy he lifted her up into the air and swung her around. They both laughed as Kurt finally put her back down on her feet, where he then kissed her tenderly. When they broke apart Aurelia had a giddy smile on her face and a blush on her cheeks.
"Come lets watch the show." Aurelia laughed before leading Kurt back to their seats beside Alice, Lexa, and Rogue who all smiled contently.
Kytty: Like it? Hate it? Well I'm glad either way. Review PLEASE!
TO ALL MY JONDA people: I need a song for these two. Either Wanda or John can sing it I don't care. Hell give me a good duel that would be different. THANKS
