The New Girl (NightcrawlerxReader) One-Shot

“Kurt,” Professor X smiled when the young teenaged mutant walked through the door. “It’s nice to see you. How are your studies going?”

“Good, Professor,” Kurt smiled back.

Professor X kindly asked Kurt to take a seat in front of him. The blue skinned teen complied, smiling nervously. As far as he knew, he hadn’t done anything wrong. Unless someone had told Professor X about all the bad things he had done and gotten away with, Kurt thought that he should be safe from the Professor’s scolding.

“Kurt,” Professor X began. “I would like you to do something for me.”

“What’s that?” he asked curiously.

“We have a new student entering our school. A young girl around your age to be exact.”

Kurt’s eyes widened. He could tell what the Professor was about to ask.

“Oh no, I can’t,” Kurt blurted out, standing up from his seat. “You want me to show her around the school, don’t you?”

The Professor sighed and nodded.

“Yes but Kurt, please listen. She’s afraid. She didn’t find us. We found her. She was in an alley, beaten with the words, ‘Mutant Abomination’ written on her arms. We don’t know what her powers are for she refuses to show us.”

Kurt truly did feel bad for the girl but he didn’t want to do this. Didn’t the Professor realize how bad of an idea this was? This new girl was probably scared and confused. The last thing she needed was a blue demon approaching her with intentions of showing her around the school. She would probably get the wrong idea as soon as she saw him.

That’s what had happened millions of times before. Each new town, city, or country that he moved to, those who saw him thought that he was a monster. He was never accepted in their society.

He shook his head. “Then you show her around...She’d only be frightened by me.”

The Professor then pulled out a device from his desk and placed it on top, pushing it towards Kurt. It looked like a regular wrist watch but different. He picked up the device curiously.

“What is this?”

“Put it on…”

The watch snapped onto his wrist and like a ripple in the water, his blue skin turned white. He gasped at the transformation. Not believing his eyes, he picked up a photo frame on the Professor’s desk and stared at his own reflection in disbelief. This couldn’t be happening. Just moments ago he was a scaly, blue skinned mutant. Now he looked like a normal person. The only thing that was the same was his blue hair. But he didn’t mind that. Finally, he looked normal!

“How…? When….?”

“I’ve been working on it for several weeks with the others,” Professor moved away from his desk and more towards Kurt. “This watch will help you blend in at the new high school you will be attending to so that those who don’t understand who you are, will at least look at your personality and not at your skin.”

Kurt felt his heart swell with such happiness.

“Thank you so much, Professor,” he smiled genuinely.

The Professor returned the smile however the expression did not reach his eyes that held a grim emotion. Kurt didn’t notice this.

“So will you show the girl around campus?”

“Of course, Professor. What is her name?”

♦♦♦♦♦♦

You were scared. Terrified to be more specific. Everything was happening too fast for you. Last night a young woman named Jean had found you in a dark alley with bruises along your body, black ink on your arms that had the truth of what you were written on them. You were a freak. An abomination. But above all that, you were a mutant.

You were something that society didn’t accept because you weren’t like them. That part you could understand. What you didn’t understand is why society was trying so hard to not try and comprehend people like you? Why did they insist on changing mutants? You honestly didn’t understand. But sometimes you wished that you hadn’t been cursed with your powers. You just wanted to be human.

“(Name)?” a male voice asked behind you.

You turned around to see a teenaged boy around your age and height with beige skin and oddly blue colored hair. He looked at you timidly but smiled nonetheless. On his wrist was an interesting watch you had never seen before in stores.

“Uh yes that’s me,” you nodded. “And you are?”

“Kurt,” he stuck his hand out for you to shake. “Professor X has asked me to show you around the school. I hope you weren’t busy or anything.”

“Not at all,” you shook his hand. “I was just wandering around the school aimlessly till now. So where first?”

He scratched his head for a moment as he thought.

“Hey!” he exclaimed. “I’ve got an idea. How about I show you the outside of the school first and then we work our way inside. I could you show you the gardens, maybe introduce you to some people?”

The thought of meeting others like you was comforting but also nerve wracking. You didn’t want to be an outcast at this school as well.

“That sounds...good,” you nodded. “Um,” you bit your lower lip. “If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your power?”

He grinned and suddenly wrapped his arms around your waist. Without any knowledge of what was happening, you found yourself to be standing outside of the school in the gardens. You looked up at Kurt amazed, blushing when you realized he was still holding you.

“So you can teleport?” you smiled. “I’m impressed.”

He was about to ask you what your powers were but you ran off to the rose bushes before he could.

♦♦♦♦♦♦

Kurt was a nice guy. You thought that after this day, you two might be good friends. He was a charming person with a good sense of humor. He had teleported you and him to all sorts of places throughout the school, scaring random students that just so happened to pass by. You were truly enjoying yourself. That afternoon, it was like you had forgotten who you were and why you had come to this school in the first place.

While walking around the school, you had met lots of the other students. You had the chance to see Jean again and thank her for bringing you here. You saw people like Storm, Kitty, Beast, and even Logan or aka Wolverine who Kurt said, “isn’t really a people person”. You had never felt happier when you met all these new people who were so kind to you.

As you walked through the halls, you felt a breeze blow past you.

“Odd,” you said. “I don’t think the windows are open.”

“Who knows?” Kurt shrugged. “Maybe one is.”

You too shrugged off the thought and continued walking. However, the breeze blew again except this time, closer. It felt like someone rushing past you but that couldn’t be it. It was only you and Kurt in the halls.

“Boo!” someone screamed at your face.

Someone who possessed the powers of super speed had scared you, not knowing how you would react. Your hands rose to defend yourself and your body acted on it’s own. In a flash, your veins glowed yellow and your skin turned a neon green color similar to a glowstick.

“Watch out!” Kurt yelled when he saw acid spray from your fingers.

He moved to push the person away who ran before the acid ever had the chance of touching him. Instead, the acid hit Kurt’s watch. It caused it to break and fall off.

You stood back in disbelief at what you saw before you. Kurt who you had been talking with the entire day and having a good time with, was standing right there with blue skin. He wasn’t white, peach, tan, brown. No. He had blue skin and...a tail?

“(Name), I know this looks bad,” he said quickly. “But please. I’m not a monster. I’m just like you—a mutant.”

You slugged his arm.

“Idiot!” you shouted.

He looked at you, hurt, scared, confused but most of all, rejected.

“W-What…?”

“Why didn’t you show me the real you when we met?” you asked while throwing your arms around him for a tight hug.

“I’m sorry?” he said, not trying to make it sound like a question. “I’m a little confused…”

You looked into his yellow eyes to see that thankfully your other form was gone.

“I don’t care that you have blue skin, it doesn’t matter. You’re a truly amazing person. I may have met you just today but I’ve never felt more comfortable around someone.”

“But what about you?” he asked. “Why didn’t you show me your power?”

You gulped and cast your gaze to the floor. “Because I’m different. When you touch me in that form, I could burn your skin off without realizing it. I can’t control it and people have scared me into thinking that I never will.”

“The Professor will help you,” he smiled. “He helps all of his students.”

“I know that now,” you smiled back.

“So that is her power,” Professor X said.

He was observing you and Kurt from a distance, already calculating all the possible ways in which he could teach you how to control your power. Logan stood beside him, scolding the child who had scared (Name).

“And don’t you ever do that again, got it kid?” he growled.

“Y-Yes sir,” he nodded.

“Now scram!” Logan barked.

The kid was gone within seconds. Professor X looked at his comrade with a disapproving glare.

“Try not to be so harsh,” he sighed.

Logan shrugged. “Whatever. Now do you mind explaining to me why you gave Kurt the watch in the first place?”

“So that he wouldn’t be bullied in school.”

“Okay get that part,” Logan nodded. “By isn’t that prototype you had made? Where’s the indestructible one?”

“Back in my office,” Professor X responded simply.

“Why did you just give him that one?”

“Because I wanted to give them the chance of seeing each other for who they really are. Now that they accept each other, they can learn to  accept themselves. I trust that students like them will create a safer future for mutants.”
