The hero is the one that stays.
Characters: Kurt, OT Kitty
Setting: X-Mansion
Content: Nothing questionable
Summary: Kurt returns to Xavier's school at the Professor's request.
"Dies ist überraschend," Kurt muttered to himself as he stepped out of Charles Xavier's study and into the mansion's entry way. Student enrollment has dropped drastically, but we're still understaffed, Xavier had told him. I need you, the X-Men need you. And so he'd come. Even with Xavier's warning, Kurt hadn't been prepared for what he saw here now. Hallways once filled with chatter and laughter and the tramping of feet were silent and empty. Aside form the professor, he hadn't seen another soul since he'd arrived.
Wondering if he'd made a mistake in coming here despite Xavier's pleas, Kurt hefted his bag higher on his shoulder and headed upstairs to the room they always kept ready for him whenever he chose to visit or, as was the case today, returned for an extended stay. On the second floor landing he finally encountered a pair of students, a boy and a girl. They stared at him, not with the fear and revulsion he was used to, but with interest and curiosity. When he offered them a smile, they returned it readily and introduced themselves. This was the one thing he missed most about Xavier's school, this feeling of belonging. Xavier's was the only place in the entire world where Kurt Wagner actually felt at home.
Kurt talked with the children for awhile before teleporting (so perhaps he wa showing off just a little) into his room. he tossed down his bag, grinning to himself and feeling far less apprehensive than he had only minutes before. The situation was not so bad as Professor Xavier made it out to be. They would bring in more students and recruit for the X-Men. Things would turn out well, he'd make sure of it. It would just take a little time.
"Rom ist auch nicht an einem Tag erbaut worden," he said and started to unpack.
