Oooh, the plot thickens. Why does Kitty care? Where's Mystique? Where's Logan? Where's the peanut butter. Ahem. Nevermind.
Cool KC!

Aren't there any telepaths in the mansion? A telepath ought to be able to recognize Kurt, don't you think? Or are they all away on a mission?
Spatch, they just haven't tried yet. Kurt's been unconscious for 3 days. I'm sure that's where it'll go next. It's next logical step.
Well, all righty then. Here we go.
__________
Kurt awoke with a start. Eyes flying open in panic, he stared at the ceiling of the med lab for a moment. He tested his bonds one more time, just in case the last 40 failures to slip free of them had been flukes. The effort made him gasp for breath; he gritted out a string of German explicatives and lay back down. The throbbing pain in his side and abdomen was increasing again. The painkillers were wearing off and Kurt's patience was wearing thin.
Most of the team had gone before he had regained consciousness, searching for Logan and?her. His mouth twisted at the thought of the evil she was committing in his form. He had tried to talk to Storm before she left but she had stared at him with a cold fire in her eyes that he couldn't dim. She saw Mystique, and no mere words could change that. No one believed him. His demands were ignored by everyone. Except Kitty.
Oh, she didn't believe him either. But she still came every few hours. She would watch him from the shadows, thinking he couldn't see her. Mystique's eyes were as good as his own though.
"I see you, Katzchen."
Kitty jumped in surprise as Mystique's eyes swiveled to hers. Anger quickly replaced surprise.
"Don't you dare call me that," she breathed, voice barely audible. "You are not Kurt. Are you too dumb to realize you're in your own shape and not his? You don't fool anyone!"
"But I am Kurt, Katzchen," Mystique's voice came out in a husky whisper. He was tired of this. It was so easy to give up...No. Never.
"You are Raven Darkholme, bitch!" Kitty rushed across the med lab, snatching Mystique's arm. Her blood boiled.
Kurt hissed with pain as she shook him, jostling his wound. "You're hurting me Kitty...please."
Kitty looked down into the pleading yellow eyes. They were so like Kurt's. It would be so easy to end this. Mystique would never tell them what she had done to her friends. She had vowed upon her honor that she would avenge them.
"Ach, nein, please?"
She released the arm. No, Kitty decided. Not now. The German bothered her, as it had earlier when Mystique had first awakened. It itched in the back of her mind. Mystique collapsed back into the pillows, panting for air. Her eyes were squeezed shut, tears leaked from the corners.
"Understand that I could have killed you," she said coldly, settling stiffly onto a stool. "I still may. If you have murdered them, you will die. I promise.
You know nothing of loyalty, woman. You betray everyone close to you. You abandoned your son. You are a terrorist. Your life means nothing to me. Understand? Those two men are all I have left. They are my family; my father, my brother, more. You have messed with the wrong family - for the last time."
Kurt slowed his breathing, opening his eyes to look at her. Her mouth was set in a thin, hard line. Her eyes bored into his. Mein Gott, she is serious, he thought. Oh, mein Katzchen, I'm so sorry. Hmmm, family.
"What would only your family know?"
"What?" Kitty was puzzled by this soft question, her anger faded slightly. She frowned. Her voice had sounded odd. Mystique didn't have an accent. Her face looked so sad; her brows drawn down and together. Kurt looked so much like her. How could mother and son be so different, she wondered.
"Ask me a question. Anything. This, I swear, is the last request I will make of you. A question only Kurt would know the answer to."
The accent was even more pronounced now. Why hadn't she noticed it before? No, she though. It?s a trick.
"No. I won't let you manipulate me."
The voice pleaded. "Ask."

Okey dokey. Who?s next?

Good one Slarti. I really like your writing. You get into the characters minds really well. All you writer-types are making some nice stuff here. I've become hooked on this thread. I stopped reading the comics a while ago, and Evolution is mostly repeats now, so this is now my primary Kurt fix. Just want to say great job.
Hey Drags, I've said I'd like to see K hook up with K, but it doesn't have to happen. A brother/sister thing is really very sweet too. Neither of them have a real family, so its great that they have such a relationship. Therre's a saying, by I don't know who, that our real families arent necessarily those we are born into.
Anyway, looking forward to more.
