One on None

[Nightcrawler]

"Ah- it is cold out!" Kurt said aloud as he walked outside to the tennis courts. They were clean of the snow that had fallen thanks to the warmth of the Hangar underneath. "A little stretch.." he said to himself as he limbered up and swung his racket over his head "..and ve vill begin."

He pulled a tennis ball out of his bag and tossed it very high into the air -

~ BaMF ~

- he teleported up to the ball and swung hard at it connecting and sending it screaming down fast at the other side of the net-

~ BaMF ~

- he teleported to receive his own serve. Again and again he "Bamf'd" back and forth across from side to side, playing hard and working up a sweat. Despite the cold Nightcrawler was dripping with perspiration.

[Jenny]

Jenny had been running around outside on the grounds bundled up in her powder blue parka and her white and light blue hat and matching mittens. Momma always told her to bundle up when it was cold and snowy. Then she would make her cocoa. Perhaps when she got back, she could find Karma and ask her to make her some warm cocoa. But for now she was entertaining herself in the snow.

She was skipping by the tennis courts when she saw a blur move quickly from one end to another. Wow, she never saw this before. She recognized the blue man from the Christmas party. Jenny thought he was so lucky. She wished she was blue. Though his blue was nice too, she would rather be a light blue on the count that thats the color of the sky, and she liked the sky.

She sat on the side and watched him play tennis with himself with wide eyes. She wished she could do that! Then she would neverbe bored if she could play a game with herself like that. "Wow that's so cool," Jenny said without thinking as she watched him play.

[Nightcrawler]

Hearing the little voice Kurt looked to see the youngest student at the school as she marveled at him.

~ BamF ~

He teleported near to her, and smiled saying "Vhy hello little von- are you out to play in zhe snow?" Walking over he tucked his racket under his arm and knelt down in front of her. "You look like you really enjoy the snow- are you varm enough?"

[Jenny]

Jenny looked up at a bit surprised that he teleported next to her. She looked up at him with wide blue eyes in amazement. She wished she could be blue too. Not only was he blue he could play a game with himself so well. She wondered if anyone was ever scared of him blue. They shouldn't be he had a kind face and and a nice warm smile.

"Hello Mister," she said shyly as she gave him a small shy smile. "Yes I am warm enough thank you for asking," she answered politely just like her momma and papa taught her. "Oh Yes! I love the snow! Back at home on the farm, momma would let me, Lady, shes my little horse friend, and my dog Albert play in the snow all day long. We used to play tag and roll around in the snow together!" she said with a giggle as she remembered how much fun they used to have. "But they aren't here on the count that their not mutants," she said seriously. "But I like to walk in the snow and think about it," Jenny added again with a small soft smile. She missed her foal and dog. They always had such great fun together.

"Are you enjoying the snow Mister?" Jenny asked him with wide bright blue eyes.

[Nightcrawler]

He looked down at his tennis attire, white shorts and shirt, wrist bands and said "Vell, yes I do love zhe snow- Zhat is vhen I'm appropriately dressed. I vas only planning to play some tennis und zhen to pop back inside vhen I vas done." He grinned a toothy grin at her and giggled warmly.

Nightcrawler loved children and it was mostly how they seemed to not care about what a person looked like, but what was on the inside. Kids were amazing in that regard.

[Jenny]

Jenny giggled a bit as he pointed to his tennis clothes. She eyed the tennis racket and then looked back at the nice blue an with wide blue eyes. "My brother plays tennis. He used to hit my head with the net part of the racket!" she said exasperatedly as she thought of her stupid brother. "And then he would call me monkey brains and say I would make a perfect tennis ball! Can you believe that?" Jenny said with great expression at how much of a dummy her brother was.

She looked up at him and nodded gravely. "He's a booger," she said seriously.

[Nightcrawler]

'A booger you say?" Kurt chuckled at her cuteness.

Then without warning the whole of the world erupted. Explosions!!! First one on the side and then a huge one out front.

He didn't want to frighten the young one, but he knew she was in danger...they all were. "Go child- run and tell Ms. Frost! I'm going to see what that was, probably just some fireworks- do not be afraid!"

He waited until she turned and made it safely inside before he teleported away- he didn't want to alarm her.

[Jenny]

Jenny jumped up when she heard the explosions and looked at Nightcrawler worriedly. He looked frightened and concerened too. Oh no what was happening? She hoped everything was alright.

"Oh I will Mister, you can count on me!" she said and hurried inside the house. She had to find Ms. Frost or Mr. Summers! Something bad happened and she needed to help! Jenny knew she was too young to do anything but she wanted to help so bad.

For now she will start on finding Mr. Summers or Ms. Frost.
