[There's a sting when he mentions her fear, because she had been once upon a time. She'd been afraid of all of them, but Kurt was so different and she shied away from him a little more and a little longer. Of course he picked up on it.]

You know I'm not afraid of you anymore, right?

[ecclesiophobic]

[Kurt sighs.] I know, Kitty. And I don't blame you for being afraid of me. I was afraid of everyone when Erik brought me back. But by the time it didn't matter any more, it.. didn't matter. It never came up before now.

Hell, the only reason I gave a damn about the other half of my parentage now is that Xavier was being coy about it. Before that, the last time I'd thought about it was back when Victor first joined us and I asked him point blank if he'd fathered me.

[passingthrough]

[She nods. She gets that there are things people don't know about her not because they're a secret but because they just haven't come up. She hopes he knows he isn't going to drive her away. Not with something like that certainly. Victor turned out to be the monster she assumed when they met and Kurt wasn't choosing any of his involvement with him.]

I guess he said no?

[ecclesiophobic]

He was able to narrow it down to three potential men. Him, another mutant my mother was trying to form an alliance with, and the man she was actually married to at the time. [One corner of his mouth twists upward in a crooked grin. He honestly finds it funny. He certainly doesn't show any shame or judgement on his mother's choices at the time.] Mom swore that I wasn't the Baron's and that my father had the gene for fur, so I sort of assumed it was either Victor or a fourth man he didn't know about. Turns out Azazel has the gene for it too.

[passingthrough]

Complicated. [She can't even be surprised Raven was married and with other men not after finding out she'd lived with Victor. He wasn't even a one-night stand.] His name's Azazel? Didn't you want that to be your codename once? [She could swear he mentioned it when she was trying to decide her own.]

[ecclesiophobic]

She was doing what she had to. [He assumes; he'd never really asked much about that time in her life. Chuckling, Kurt nods in answer to her question.] That or Belasco, but Erik flat refused to call me by a demon's name.

[passingthrough]

Magneto is wise. [She kisses his cheek.] I wouldn't have called you that either. Not that I really call you Nightcrawler much, but that's just because Kurt is obviously the superior name for you. Or furry jerk.

[ecclesiophobic]

They're both fine names with long literary histories behind them. Unlike Nightcrawler, which is a worm. [The kiss gets a smile, which quickly turns into a faux-outraged expression.] Jerk? Why am I a jerk now?

[passingthrough]

You're not. Yet. I figure I'll need to break it out again eventually though. Gotta keep the ammo ready. [She smiles back at him.] You could be Shadow Worm. We could have our own special X club. Not to be confused with a triple X club.

[ecclesiophobic]

With as often as you called all of us jerks, I can't believe you're rusty.

[See how quickly he starts to motion in the negative.] No. Kitty, you are not allowed to name anything. If you ever have children, I am naming them. You're banned.

[passingthrough]

What? You'd just name them after demons or other worms. These are my kids Centipede and Abaddon. And I'm pretty sure you have to be at least the father to get naming rights.

[ecclesiophobic]

I would not name your children after worms, what do you take me for? [Demons, on the other hand..

Kurt's mouth twitches, and for a brief moment he contemplates the wisdom of his next words. And then a wicked grin spreads across his face as a precursor to the horrible joke he's about to make.] I'd offer to arrange that, but I don't think Winn would care for raising my cuckoo.

[passingthrough]

[You are so getting an arm punch, Darkholme. You are also the only person who gets this kind of response. Feel special?] Kuuuuuuurt.

As if I'd let you out of being with me if that happened. ...Not that... Nevermind. You start weird things.

[ecclesiophobic]

[And he just laughs, the asshole.]

Nein, nein, Kitty. Go on, spill all your secret designs on gathering a harem for yourself.

[passingthrough]

Okay, okay, let's just leave my love life and future potential children out of this.

[ecclesiophobic]

But then what are we going to talk about? There's no weather to speak of, and you do have wonderful hips for birthing..

[He is just asking to be smacked at this point.]

[passingthrough]

I swear I'm phasing your tail into a wall when you least expect it, Darkholme.

[ecclesiophobic]

Wrath will hunt you down in the night if you do.

[passingthrough]

Promise not to tell me why she's so fond of your tail and we can call a truce.

[ecclesiophobic]

Why would I do a thing like that? It's worse to leave you to wonder, especially with you being such an intelligent woman.

[passingthrough]

So much hate, Kurt. So much. [The sort of thing she'd only say to someone she really loves.]

[ecclesiophobic]

Does that mean the truce is over? Because if it is-- [Cover his mouth before its too late, Kitty.]

[passingthrough]

Woah! Young and innocent over here. [Hand going right up for that mouth and don't you dare lick her hand.]

[ecclesiophobic]

[No licking, just cackling madly behind that hand because innocent? Her? That's the funniest thing he's heard in weeks, apparently.]

[passingthrough]

[She rolls her eyes and drops her hand, but then she settles in to a truly fond look.] It's good to see you laugh. [She lightly elbows him.] Even if it's at my expense.
