Kurt bamfed right onto the X-men's lunch table. "Guys! Big news!" he cried. Scott pulled him on his seat when his tail was showing "Idiot! Do you want people to see you!" he hissed. Kurt sheepishly rubbed his neck "Sorry" he said. Then he remembered what he saw "Your not gonna believe vhat I saw!" he whispered. The gang leaned in to listen "I went after Crona and saw a demon thing on her back. She's a mutant like us!" he said. Jean rose an eyebrow "Are you sure Kurt?" she asked. Kurt nodded "Ja! I'm serious. She never saw me thankfully but I think ve should confront her about it" he said.
Kitty smiled "Yeah, she could like maybe come to the institute!" she squealed. She found Crona to be very adorable and couldn't wait to give her make over's and such if she did come to live in the institute.
"What did the demon thing look like?" Evan asked. Kurt scratched his head "It vas small, black, big round vhite hands and big round vhite eyes wiv a black cross in each eye." he described.
"Hey before ya'll jump at conclusions, we should tell the professor" Rouge suggested. Evan nodded in agreement "Yeah we don't wanna scare her right now" he said
Scott agreed too "Ok then it's settled. After school we'll tell the professor and maybe he can locate her on Cerebro. It'll tell us if she really is a mutant…" he glared at Kurt through his glasses "Or if Kurt just ate to many burgers again and was hallucinating" he finished. Kurt stuck his tongue out at him when he wasn't looking. `I know vat I saw` he huffed in thought.
(at the institute)
"A mutant at your school? Are you certain?" Xavier asked. Kurt and the other X-men had told the Professor what had happened, Jean nodded "yeah, Kurt said that it was the new girl and she had some sort of demon thing on her back. But I personally think he was seeing things" she explained.
Kurt gave a small glare to the red head thinking of ways to prank her for not believing him. "Now Kurt don't even think about it" Professor warned. Kurt blushed and looked at his feet. He forgot that the Prof was able to read thoughts. Charles placed a hand on his chin in thought "I'll use Cerebro and see if its true then" he said wheeling over to the big computer. He placed the helmet on his head and closed his eyes. He saw images of normal people going about their daily business but he had no readings of mutants. But the computer suddenly caught something. An image of a young girl about Kitty's age showed up. He showed it on the computer "Is this her?" he asked.
Crona was up on the screen with notes about her. Her age, height weight .ex.
"That's her!" Kitty gasped. Kurt grinned "I told you I vasen't hallucinating!" he said proudly. Professor X placed the helmet back on the stand "Yes but there's a problem. The brother hood have also found out about her and they are coming for her. She's at the park" he explained
"In the middle of the night? Now that's just weird" Rouge said.
"No time for that! We have to help her, she's afraid of the brother hood and who knows what sort of trouble they'll get her into" Evan piped in.
"Yes alright. Logan you go with them, I have a feeling mystique will be there to try and convince her" Xavier said. Logan who was leaning against the wall grunted and went to get changed. The other X-men followed on.
"Evan told me that Crona's a lovely girl. I hope they get to her on time" Ororo (storm) said worryingly. Professuer X leaned back in his chair "I hope so too. She doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would join the brother hood" he said looking at the picture of Crona on the screen. He frowned with worry.
(At the park)
The park was empty and dimmed with light from the lanterns. Crona walked silently through the park checking that no one was around. When she concluded that it was safe she climbed up a tree and sat on a branch.
"Well there's no one around… Ragnarok time to come out" Crona whispered. The little black demon rose from her back and stretched "Man it feel's good to get out!" he yawned. Crona giggled and sat against the tree "Yeah and it feels good to get away from those bullies at school." she added
"Yeah the really huge guy with the Mohawk looked pretty mean. Be lucky that he didn't punch ya" Ragnarok said. Crona nodded and pulled out a small box "Yeah and the white haired one was so irritating. He wouldn't shut up during maths. It drove me nuts" She mumbled.
"I had to keep my ears covered to block out that blabber mouth" Ragnarok growled. Crona looked up at him "you don't have ears" she pointed out.
"I know but I can still hear things. It's as if I have invisible ears" he joked. Crona giggled and opened the box revealing chocolates. She held one up to Ragnarok "As promised buddy" she said. Ragnarok cheered and ate the yummy treat. Crona gave herself one. She liked times like this. She and Ragnarok had times where they didn't get along but they still looked out for each other since they were one.
A snap of a twig brought their attention. "Ragnarok!" she hissed. The little demon dove back inside Crona quickly. Crona looked around to see where the noise came from.
Only a fly buzzed by her so she sighed. All of a sudden a tongue shot out and grabbed the fly making her yelp in fright.
"Yo Lance! Found her yo!"
Crona looked down finding that Todd was the culprit that scared her. He was with the others but they were in costumes.
"Come on down newbie. We just wanna talk!" Lance yelled. Crona crawled away and stayed put up on the tree.
"Hey yo! She ain't budgin!" Todd pointed out. Pietro smirked "Well then get her down" he said quickly.
He looked at Fred "Shake that tree" he ordered. Fred smirked and grasped on to the tree and began to shake it. Crona held onto a branch tightly as she was very high up. If she fell she was in for some broken bones.
"Still not budging huh? Move aside Freddie" Lance said spreading his arms out. Fred moved beside Toad and smirked. Crona whimpered `what's he gonna do? I don't know how to deal with this!` she mentally yelled. The ground began to shake viontly making it hard for Crona to hang on to the tree.
`Hang on kid!` Ragnarok yelled
"I-I-I-I Can't!" She stuttered.
"Alvers that's enough!"
The tree and ground stopped shaking letting Crona look at the source of the voice. She saw Scott summers who was also in a costume. She spotted others behind him. She knew their faces. They were Evans friends and he was there too but her eyes lay on the one with the claws and blue elf caught more of her attention `he looks familiar for some reason` she thought. She stepped forward but lost her footing, falling off the tree with a yelp. "Crona!" the blue elf yelled. Crona's eyes widened `that's Kurt!`
Wolverine jumped up quickly and caught her. "Nice catch!" Evan yelled. Wolverine put her down "you alright kid?" he asked, noticing that she was shaking slightly. She nodded and slid behind him away from the brother hood.
"Hey we were here first! She's coming with us!" Lance yelled.
"W-w-what do you want with me?" Crona demanded.
"You're a mutant and so are we. We want you to join the brother hood." Pietro said smirking. Crona cowered behind Wolverine a bit more "Not a chance!" she yelled.
"Yo! We was here before the X-geeks! Besides they'z make you all goody, goody. You can do whatever ya want with us at the brother hood!" Toad said.
"plus we can treat ya good" Pietro said looking Crona up and down. Crona gagged
Kurt came forward "We're not gonna let her! You'll just bully her if she joined you!" he yelled angrily. The argument continued for a little bit of time between the teens. Wolverine sighed "every time" he mumbled. Crona was also getting a bit annoyed.
`should we cut in and get rid of stinky, fatso, cocky, and pervert? I'm getting sick of them Ragnarok asked. Crona nodded mentally nodded. She walked forward to the middle of the arguing teens and stood there.
"Ah so she's decided on us! Alright! Mystiques gonna be psyched!" Lance cheered.
Oh how wrong he was (wink wink) Crona spread her left arm out to the side and closed her eyes.
"Ragnarok…let's go with Death Scythe" She said. Ragnarok appeared on her back "You got it kid! Lets take down these bozo's!"
Scott gaped at the little creature "I think someone owes me an apology" Kurt said smugly.
Meanwhile Ragnarok turned into an inky substance and circled Crona's arm. It morphed into a large scythe that was twice her size. The brother hood gulped
