#Vanishing Act || Kurt Wagner

[amischiefofmuses]

Nightcrawler character study notes - He's not an idealist like Charles, as much as it may seem that way, rather he's a realist. The world is a terrible, awful place but if he can make a change one person at a time then that's SOMETHING. He will take that and run with it as far as it will go.

Chapter 47: “Compromises, Part I” is now on my AO3!

He’d always fantasized about his mother, wondering how she’d look and act if she were still alive. The fantasies ranged from boyish fancies in Sendai, to the delirious aches of his first decades with Romulus, to the frantic rages following the lie that his father had killed his mother, to the bittersweet longing after Romulus’ deception was revealed, after he was gifted a face to picture her. The content of his dreams varied but always, always, there was that childish, abject need to be taken care of – to have her protect him, save him. How often he’d pictured her riding into Akihira’s household to reclaim him! How often he’d sought out to be sent to Japan on a job, with the not-so-secret hope to chance upon her and recognize her by scent! And how often he’d had nightmares about her death at Logan’s hands. How often he’d pictured her by that river from Logan’s memories, hair flowing in the wind, cherry blossoms dancing around her, a firm, serene expression on her face.

Summary: When news of Logan sightings gets out, Daken joins the Hunt for Wolverine only to vanish withouth a trace. It’s up to Laura, and to the rest of his family, to save him - but finding him is only the first step.

Snow White AU

N/A: So, a conversation leads to this. I love dark fairytales  and I love the mythos of Snow White, some explanations here: No Dwarfs will be used, I read many versions where the Dwarves are creepy that I get a bit miffed now, so, no Dwarves and THE Queen and Kitty aren´t related, Kitty is not the lost princess, she´s a simple maid that is caught in this madness.

@djinmer4 @sailorstar9 @dannybagpipesarecalling @discordsworld @look-ma-no-hands336

In the Kingdom of Quarela, a place ruled by fair rulers, a Queen is considered the most prettiest woman in the land, in fact, her beauty was so legendary that Kings fight to marry her, of course, the winner was the king of Quarela.

However, her beauty hides her thirst for power, Quarela is a kingdom that thrives and prosper for mutants and humans, and this makes them in the centrefold of many political debates.

The Necromancer is a powerful ally, but, the Queen was under the impression he would take her as his pupil, take he did, but, not as a pupil, however, as a proof of his good will, the necromancer gives her a gift. A mirror, a magical mirror can answer her answers.

And the mirror remains in the place as the kingdom grows and blossom even more, meanwhile, Kitty Pryde a maid that has the luck to enter in this profession, at least, is what she used to think.

"Pryde" the maid chef called Kitty waves at the maid, they finished the breakfast and is time to do her chores "I´m here just a minute" she is running to reach the others, maids, when she passed by the hunter. A man covers by heavy clocks and holding a dagger on his hands.

The Queen asked for the mirror, daily and obsessively, how pretty the woman truly is and the mirror never falter in the answer. "You´re the prettiest one" and that answer always makes the Queen smiles and everyone benefits on her good mood.

Even Kitty, the new maid, who does her chores with the other ladies and everyone have a good time, until, one day, as she´s ready to do her chores once, again and again, passing by the hunter( always covered with his clock) things change.

"Pryde, sorry, this time, the Queen has different orders, you´re to stay here and do...nothing," the maid chef said and Kitty is confused.

Meanwhile, the Queen is on her chambers demanding a different answer violently as her fist bleed(she punch the magical mirror and only she got hurt) "mirror, mirror on the wall, tell me who is the fairest of them all"

"Not you, my queen" the mirror replied over and over until as the Queen demands more information "Is a woman working for you, her beauty, intelligence and strong will is far more attractive than anything the Queen could hope to imagine" the mirror repeats the information and the Queen stays in her room for days.

She keeps reeling in her mind about the woman, who could be? Until a name drops in her mind. "That new maid, Kitty Pryde, is she...it can only be she" the Queen speaks madly and banned Kitty Pryde to do her chores for more days.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, tell me, confirm me this for me, your master, is Kitty Pryde the prettiest woman in this land?" the Queen´s beauty vanish as her skin is unwashed, her hair is untamed and unravelled and her lips are dry as well with dirty bags under her eyes.

"Yes, Kitty Pryde is the prettiest woman in the land" the mirror replied making the Queen hurl in pain and rage, while this happens the necromancer laughs at the show having no idea who Kitty Pryde is.

The next day, Kitty Pryde was called by the Queen herself, and the encounter was not pleasant, actually, the castle is no longer pleasant as the woman send the other ladies away. The Queen looks enraged at the mere presence of Kitty Pryde.

"Can I help you, your majesty?" she made a bow and speak with a reverence and respect. The Queen hated her tone of her voice. So sweet and kind and so youth....youthful she is no more.

"No, return to your place, now" the Queen order and she notices how some of the guards look at Kitty how they used to look at Kitty and she knows they won´t dare to kill the prettiest woman in the land.

The time flies by, and the Queen sends a message to the necromancer, one of the best assassins in the world, she has a request for him. The man arrives in court without any ceremony. The Queen is still raging about Kitty Pryde.

"I want you to take this woman, Kitty Pryde, take her to the forest to pick the flowers and then I want you to remove her heart and bring me her body, I shall feast on her organs and blood" the Queen has a demented smile on her face and the necromancer hardly cares.

So, the necromancer takes a good disguise and is head to where Kitty is. The woman does not speak as the man, ginger that is smiling too much for her like. Takes her to the part where has many flowers and said if Kitty wanted to pick flowers she can do.

As the woman gives her back, the necromancer is ready to do his mission, however, Kitty was faster than him and taking rocks on her pocket she throws at him. And, fearless, kick the dagger the man was planning to use and is using her own knife to press against his neck.

"What the hell are you thinking?" Kitty mutter between her teeth as her eyes gaze upon his. The necromancer is far too impressed to care for his neck.

"Fraun, the Queen orders me to kill you, she´s jealous of your beauty" Kitty does not seem flattered and Kurt can understand why. "it was nothing personal, the woman wants to eat your heart and drink your blood to remain beautiful and if I don´t return..." Kurt made a pause and gulps showing fear of a situation that will never happen.

Kitty frowns at him and removes her knife. "I´ll run away, I should have done that ages ago, and you" she points her knife at him "you should use an animal instead and maybe consider changing job"

And with taking she runs away without ever looking back, leaving the necromancer, who is still under the disguise, far too impressed at the situation.

Kitty run and run, until, her feet stumble into a small cottage in the forest, it was clearly abandoned judging by the decaying state the cottage is. Kitty can´t run forever and as she knows she´s out of Quarela´s propriety, she somehow believes to be saved...for today.

The Queen is deliriously happy with the present the necromancer gives, even goes to eat the heart in one go, however, the mirror still says Kitty Pryde is the fairest of them all. "No, is impossible, I eat the heart, her heart."

The mirror then replies "is the heart of an animal you eat, Kitty Pryde is still the prettiest woman in the land" and the Queen is raging again.

The next day, Kitty Pryde is on the cottage cleaning the mess and making habitable. The animals of the forest decide to help her(deep down, she wonder if the mirror is correct and if she´s the prettiest woman in the land as an only pretty woman make animals obey in such fashion, then again, beauty is a curse too)

"Hello" the necromancer appears wearing no disguise and Kitty is awry of him. The animals seem to be aware of him too. "You´re the new resident of this cottage?"

"Maybe, maybe not" she replied having a knife behind her back and Kurt raises his hands saying he wants to talk, and make a far curious question "do you know who Am I?"

"NO" she replied without hesitation and Kurt is cutting loses here. A good act can take you to any place and Kurt talk how he was wrong by the Queen, she orders him to be exiled and he is living in the forest. His tragic tale seems to have moved the animals and Kitty.

"My name is Kurt Wagner, and yours?" he asked.

"Kitty Pryde and I too, lost everything, because of the Queen" she then tells her tale and is crying and while Kurt is evil, he can´t help by feel bad about this, well, is not like there are never innocent victims in his pranks before and besides, Kitty is alive and fine. There´s no time to cry for the past.

The Queen asked for the mirror more answers, but, for the first time, the mirror is completely silent, meanwhile, Kurt and Kitty are talking and getting to know each other. Kurt forgets his little prank.

The mirror is now only a mirror and the woman went fully insane. She knows magic, well enough to locate Kitty Pryde and kills her, she disguises herself as a hag and goes off to the location of one Kitty Pryde, sadly, the woman never notices Kitty wasn´t alone.

Kitty is living in the cottage has almost a month, and she knows where the town is and manages to get a job and the cottage is far different from before(and the people in the town likes Kitty and she´s not alone) Kurt, for his part, does not need to worry about his disguise with Kitty as this town is  funded by him. They can play along.

"So, you´re a wizard that research?" she asked amused offering him apple pie and he gladly accepts "how that?"

Kurt takes a piece of the pie greedily and comments his job, to be honest, he never lied about his profession, per se, only omit certain details. "Well, I got to know lots of places and people, while I´m under this exile, I can work around my way to see more of the world"

"Do you miss home? your family?"

"I never had a home, Katzchen," his tone is sincere and memories of the past surface again on his mind, Kitty, gentle once noticing his expression, take his hand into hers and only says nothing as this is enough for him.

Suddenly, a hag shows up and Kitty goes greet the poor woman while Kurt shakes his head at this amateur attempt. The woman offers an apple to Kitty, but, Kitty not knowing is a ruse, speak she has more than enough apples.

Kurt is annoyed by this, and, tired of the old prank. So, without caring, he throws a spell on the hag and the woman let a loud shriek and quickly morphed to the Queen.

Kitty runs away from the woman and Kurt has a charming smile on his face. Using a spell the man, let the Queen try to cast a nasty spell, but, Kurt happy for this little spell of his now has an appropriate response to act in a more violent way.

He burned the Queen to the ground, while, Kitty hugs him and locks away. It takes one minute, tops, to burn her completely, but, the smell remains. Kurt is smiling, while, Kitty is still hugging her.

"Is ok, Katzchen, she´s gone" Kurt promised. And Kitty slowly looks into his eyes. "Is it over?" she asked still hugging him.

"Yes, Katzchen, is over, we´re free of her. We can have a life together...if you want" Kurt speaks in an understanding tone.

"I´d want that, Kurt, you´re now my fuzzy prince charming" Kitty states lovingly.

This all started with a joke, but, in the end, Kurt, the necromancer ended up founding Kitty and has no plans of letting her go.

Incorrect X-Men film series quote

Bolivar Trask: [pointing at Nightcrawler] Keep it away from me!

Kurt Wagner: [grabbing Bolivar Trask by his shirt] Oh yes? You think I am an it? Well, let me act like an it! 

Kurt Wagner: [disappears, then reappears on top of a street light, dangling a struggling Bolivar Trask above the ground]

Kurt Wagner: [voice low, shaking Bolivar Trask sharply] There are people like you back home, the ones who tell the mob what to do. I come to the US and everyone tells me things are different, but really it’s always the same. Always there are damn people like you! So now, what do I do with you?

Moira MacTaggert: [alarmed] Kurt!

Kurt Wagner: What? You think I’m going to drop him? Shall I drop you, Mister Doctor? Well maybe not, because Dr. MacTaggert still thinks I am a good person. But maybe I have to ask myself- how good am I, really?

Kurt Wagner: [hesitates for a moment, then vanishes again before reappearing on the street, dumping Bolivar Trask to the ground in disgust.]

Kurt Wagner: Or maybe I just have to ask myself ‘Am I better than YOU?’.

X-Men Novelization (Ch. 28)

Chapter Twenty-Eight

On the edge of the Black Forest, in a broken down circus that no longer bustled with the life it once did, Kurt Wagner sat in his cage. Or rather, Kurt hung in his cage from his feet, finding the upside-down position more comfortable than sitting in the scratchy straw that was only placed there to make him seem less human. The straw was typically the last thing on anybody’s mind when they came by Kurt’s cage, however.

Kurt’s skin was coated in a fine turquoise fur that easily blended with the shadows around him. His eyes glowed in the midst of his dark face a burning yellow. What was more, he had only three digits on each hand and foot, and hypnotically swaying from one side to the other was his tail, which ended in a fine triangular point. The sign on his cage called him a demon, or a hellspawn, or whatever Heinrich felt would shock people more that week. Kurt never believed that, though.

He never embraced the comparison for the sake of his act, either. When the few patrons of the circus would meander by his cage he would often introduce himself cheerfully. “Gutentag! Ich heisse Kurt!” Assuming that he was a man painted to look like a demon (or hellspawn) that would often freak people out more than it endeared them toward him, and they would skitter on past.

Kurt sighed in his cage, dropping to the hay-strewn floor and looking out across the empty circus. He took a breath, focused on where he wanted to be, and in a puff of smoke he vanished from the cage.

BAMF!

“Damnit, Kurt! I told you not to surprise me like that.” Heinrich gripped his chest in surprise, never expecting Kurt’s teleportations no matter how long he was in the circus. Once Heinrich caught his breath he looked past Kurt at the acrobats Stefan and Jemaine swinging through the air. “Flair! Have some flair, you two, this is a show!”

Heinrich brushed past Kurt, who followed him and tried to find the words he wanted to say even as he was speaking. “Heinrich, sir, I was hoping maybe, if you wouldn’t mind--

“Flair, I said! What’s that, Kurt?”

“Well, I was thinking, and--

“Why aren’t you in your cage! We could have customers and minute--we can’t have an empty cage sitting there when they get here!”

“There’s nobody out there! There hasn’t been for days, sir.” Kurt took a gulp, seeing Heinrich’s raised bushy eyebrows and persisting forward despite the clump in his chest,”And I was thinking that I need an act. I mean like a real act--not just a side-show attraction bit.”

“An act, huh? What were you thinking of doing in this act?”

Kurt looked upwards, seeing that Stefan and Jemaine were taking a moment to towel off their foreheads and chalk their hands. With another “BAMF” he was standing right next to them, almost shocking them off the high platform. Immediately he leapt off, grabbing one of the trapeze bars and using the momentum from his swing to grab the next one with his foot. From that bar he flipped through the air and grabbed the next one with his tail. Butterflies bounced around in his stomach, finally feeling like it was his moment to prove himself. All his life he watched the circus acrobats, lighter than air, the crowds marvelling at them rather than gagging in disgust.

His big finale was coming up. He swung from a bar--BAMF--he teleported to a rope to make his final swing. Something went wrong, though. His teleportation was off by at least a foot, and he was nowhere near the rope. The butterflies in his stomach turned to moths as he dropped down toward the ground, teleporting on reflex but unable to stop his momentum.

He landed on the floor by Heinrich’s feet with a thud, Heinrich clicking his tongue and shaking his head at the young German boy. “I remember when Margali found you all those years ago. Taking care of you was the happiest I’d ever seen her, fawning over you like you were a hurt puppy, pawing at you all the same.” Heinrich ran a thumb across his nose and Kurt continued to lay on the floor in defeat. “We thought she was crazy, adopting a child when she had no father. But fortune tellers are supposed to be crazy, no? At least a little.” The old man knelt down and spoke more softly. “It was the grace of God that made her save your life, boy, and it was the same thing that made her take her own. You take your blessings where you can get them, and where you can’t--

Heinrich stood back up and brushed himself off as he walked away. “--you try to survive anyway.”

Kurt did not know how long he laid there, but eventually he returned to his cage and waited for customers who never came. He fell asleep in the hay, even despite the itchiness and despite a perfectly fine bed for him elsewhere on the circus grounds. And it was there in his dreams that the voice of Charles Xavier came to him, offering him a place with others like himself and a home and a family and the unlimited potential to do anything he wanted and be anything he wanted. And bamf. He was gone.

He found everything he was looking for, and even found a new name: Nightcrawler.

[amischiefofmuses]

Kurt getting teleported into the world of BAMFs, which is a fantasy world kitty made up as a little fun story. I can't get over the 'how do you think there got to be so many of us' - kurt is a little hornball in every universe it seems.

[amischiefofmuses]

[kurtty-drabbles]

Do you remember that Church animation? I can't stick a link in the ask box but something based on that.

@djinmer4

N/A: Ok, So, an au where Church Kurt is not happy with the Church.

The Church´s dogmas dictate that each must be ready to spill blood to their god, however, there´s nothing on the rules saying the person must consent to this act, so, Kurt Wagner a young immortal demon refuses to join the church, the institution take this as a challenge.

Nightcrawler is a warrior first and foremost, but, the man was a boy once and he was given willingly by his foster family to the Church(no love lost among them as Kurt never like the Szardos, still, being sold is never a good feeling) and the ones responsible for his well being thought Kurt would make a fine warrior.

And they are correct, however, no one questioned why a child is fighting and killing. Kurt, as an adult, is a true warrior and has yet to think something positive about this Church that does not revolve in “I´m free from the Szardos”

“Kurt?” a voice softly adds in his own solitude and Kurt stares at a woman with chestnut hair, rounded face and doe eyes. The woman has the healing uniform and judging by her confusion she must be new.

“The blood is not mine, Frau, you can go and heal the others” Kurt explained and Kitty shakes her head. “I know, I´m here to clean your …hands, blood and fur must be a tough combination”

And Kurt watches as Kitty, that´s her name, cleans his hands gently. She speaks there are no others to take care of and how this is an awful job. “I´m working for the Church…not by choice”

Kurt can understand the feeling very well. Lately, Kurt´s fame is increasing as his fights are being open to the public and many are in awe at his skills, yet, only Kitty is showing concern for him.

Cleaning his hands, taking care of his wounds and help him to realize he´s not alone is a habit that they share and Kurt can offer some protection and solidarity to Kitty, his dear Katzchen.

One day, the church´s leaders are bemused with such proximity and try to send Kitty to a suitor to make the woman complete her real mission in the Church.

“NO” Kitty speaks bravely as the guards are trying to take her away. Kitty is to be copulating, their words, with Piotr Rasputin, but, Kitty is fighting with all her soul and body and Kurt never once thought in defend himself now has all the reasons to attack the guards.

Beheading them was easy. Kitty even manages to knock one of them, however, the problem is how to escape the Church as its building is magical and has the same feeling as the current leader.

“Katzchen? Do you trust me?” Kurt asked holding her hand.

“Of course” Kitty replies and with that affirmation Kurt starts to run and both jump out the first window as their bodies vanish through the Church´s eyes leaving only the brimstone´s smoke.

They´re free on this brave new world.

[kurtty-drabbles]

3 times AoA wanted to kill wizard and one time he did

N/A: To sum up, evil wizard Kurt ends up in Kurt D´s universe before meeting his own Kitty so what happened here does not make him a total asshole.

@djinmer4 @dannybagpipesarecalling

1) Bad starts

Kurt Darkholme is no stranger to different dimensions and his doppelgangers. The man can even rank his favourite alternative version, Kurt Waggoner is his number 1, Kurt Wagner(the priest) is in second and Nightcreeper is in third(the man resembles Deadpool sometimes but Darkholme can admire his sense of justice)

However, there are versions of himself Kurt dislike or downright hate(nazi!Kurt for example, didn´t live enough to say more than Hi ), Cadbury didn´t last long either and now...there´s this wizard that is getting on his nerves.

"Ah, here I was thinking it wouldn´t have much to look out" the wizard speak to a very confused Ariel much to Darkholme´s annoyance.

"Well, we just finish the reforms but...we choose practical over fashion" Ariel stated and Darkholme merely chuckles as Rogue facepalm herself and the wizard didn´t seem to mind the naive reply.

"So, why are you here?" Darkholme stated with a barbed tone and the wizard regards him as Darkholme himself was an afterthought.

"Oh, right, one of my enemies run to this dimension and I want to stop him" the wizard replied paying more attention to Ariel who is still confused at the whole deal, why look at her? Kurt Darkholme is the one who offers to help the wizard in the first place.

"So, a criminal of your world comes to mine, and you act like a fool, no wonder the criminal got away" Darkholme now has his direct attention.

"It was lucky and Darkholme, don´t be such killjoy, the last time I used the name Darkholme was when I was such in a dark place, but, look around I don´t think you live in a hellish place anymore" the wizard smiles malicious and Darkholme is regretting not bringing his sword to this meeting.

"Hey, stop that, whatever this is, there´s a magical criminal walking freely in our world, rockstar, and we can´t idly around, now, Yana mention something about this symbol" Ariel speaks remember some things that Yana talk about seals."

The wizard falters in his smiles and Darkholme feels a little vindicate.

2) fight

The said criminal is a foe that Darkholme never saw before, magic users are rare, but not extinct, Magik and Dr Stranger are one of the most powerful and are helping the survivors with magic abilities to navigated through this new life. Scarlet Witch is also helping even if she is heavily pregnant with twins.

But this criminal is something else and as much it loathes to Darkholme to admit it would be impossible to catch him without the wizard´s help, Kurt Darkholme could show gratitude if the wizard stops from getting on his nerves.

"Thank you for helping the rockstar, we don´t get to fight many magical users" Ariel replied and the wizard smiles (in a fashion that makes Darkholme want to punch him) and replied smoothly.

"It´s no problem, you fight bravely have you ever thought in leaving the X-men and doing something else?" Darkholme has his swords in hand ready to dirty his blade with the wizard´s blood.

"No, I like here and I would miss everyone deeply, especially him"Ariel points in good humour at Darkholme who blinks at her reply. "I would never want to leave him, not after everything we went through"

The wizard blinks and just sighs dejectedly.

3)almost

The wizard catches the criminal but still haven´t left, his excuse, as Darkholme calls it, is that the man wants to repay the damage the criminal did. Ariel think is a noble thing to do, Darkholme is far too cynical to believe in a word he is speaking.

"Knock off" Darkholme speak once the wizard would speak the same speech again  "I know why are you doing this, but, it won´t happen, she won´t choose you"

"Oh, she choose you for now, are you sure she won´t change her mind?" the wizard smiles malicious and Darkholme is itching to cut his head off "for now, it seems the lovely Ariel seems very into you, what a shame"

"Ah, what a shame your head is still attached to your body, such a shame" Darkholme stated after the wizard vanishes into thin air.

4) finally

The wizard is finally leaving when the man thought it would be nice to kiss Ariel´s hand much to Ariel´s confusion and to Darkholme´s dismay, that is actually the last drop, as the man catches his sword and cuts the wizard´s head off.

Ariel didn´t scream. Used to the battlefield to know better, however, she did freak a little when the body reattached itself unlike Deadpool, the wizard is healed from death that easily.

"That´s was mean" the wizard reply and maybe he would have cast a spell on Kurt Darkholme but Ariel intervene.

"Well, so it was flirt with someone that is already in a relationship, Rogue explained why you are being so nice to me, and wizard, you know by now that I´m on a relationship and I don´t appreciate you try to stir confusion" Ariel looks dead set into his eyes and the wizard merely shurgs.

"You are very cute, I like you, either way, Darkholme is a lucky man, I finish what I was aimed to do, take care Ariel and Darkholme" the wizard stated as the portal opens and the man is out of the AoA´s universe.

"I hate this guy"

"Yeah, me too"
