What the?

by: CSI-Panther

Summary: S.H.I.E.L.D has contacted the X-Men with a new team mate for them. He's red, he uses blades, he can teleport, and has a tail. Who is this new mutant?

A/N: I don't own X-Men Evo or it's characters.

Kurt and Kitty were training in hand-to-hand outside the institute when Logan called out to them,

" Elf! Half-Pint! "

Kurt turned to him just as Kitty was taking a swing at him, he barely dodged it before bamfing over to Logan, Kitty following suite by running over to her two favorite people in the world.

" Vhat is it Logan? If this is about the about the bologna on the garage ceiling, I had nothzing to do with it! I swear! " Kurt asked waving his hands about in nervousness.

" No. Nothing like that...what bologna on the garage ceiling? " Logan asked with a raised eyebrow.

" I saw it on the ceiling this morning. " Kurt answered sheepishly.

" Right. Anyway, Chuck wants all the X-Men in the Danger Room. "

They followed him into the mansion.

scene change

All the X-Men, the Professor, and Hank were in the command room when the screen lit up and a grey-haired man with an eye-patch appeared,

" Thank you for coming on short notice X-Men, Professor, Dr. McCoy. "

" What's this about Nick? " Logan asked, arms crossed and glaring up at the man.

" I'm here to inform you of your team mate. " Nick answered.

" New team mate? " Scott asked with a raised eyebrow.

" Yes. We had recovered him from an underground mutant lab that was using him as a fighter in an underground mutant fighting ring. "

" Why a fighting ring? " Evan asked.

" Bets are placed there. The more fights you win, the more money comes in. " Logan answered him, " How did you find out about this guy and where to find him? " Logan asked Nick.

" An inside source, we an undercover inside. They were able to get close to the guy and found that he was fighting against his will. The lab that had captured him seventeen years ago had put a collar of sorts around his neck, wrists, and ankles, if he refused to fight or do anything else for them he would get a large charge of electricity, nearly rendering him unconscious. "

" That's horrible! " the girls exclaimed, Kitty placing a hand to her mouth.

" How was your source able to get to him? " Hank asked.

" They were in charge of feeding him and tending to any injuries that he would get in the fights. They would try and did gain his trust; eventually, until he talked about the fights. " Nick answered.

" So why is he coming here? " Logan asked.

" After we healed him, he asked if he could join and if not us than another group that were like us. "

" Sounds like the guy wants revenge. And that will make him dangerous. " Logan said.

" Which is why I thought sending him to you would help him as well as having the help. He's quite strong, fast, well trained, no pun intended, he knew how to fight long before he was captured, mostly sword fighting, and..he can teleport. He might even give you a good run Logan. "

" Teleport? Like me? " Kurt asked excitedly as he showed what he could do, bamfing one side of the room to the other and back again, seeing the look on Nick's face he tilted his head and asked,

" Vas? "

" That's..exactly how he teleports, only with more fire than smoke. " Nick answered.

" When's he coming? " Logan asked.

" He should be arriving there in about an hour. "

" What's his name? " Evan asked.

" Azazel. And you'll know him when you see him. Good luck X-Men as he can be a bit, shall we say rowdy? " with that, Nick cut the connection.

" Is he coming in a jet? Or in a car? " Kurt asked.

" Well if Nick wanted he could have the guy come here in a jet, but knowing him, I'd say he's in a car. " Logan answered turning to leave.

" Well let's go greet our new guest shall we? " Charles asked as he followed after Logan with the others.

Scene change, outside the Mansion

As soon as they got outside the doors, a black car was pulling up the drive.

" I though he said an hour? " Evan asked.

" He said about an hour, doesn't usually mean it will be an hour. " Logan said as the car stopped in front of them, the windows were tinted so they couldn't see inside.

The passenger door opened, the teens tensed when a man came out,

" Is that him? " Kitty asked in a whisper.

" I don't think so. " Jean answered as they watched him go to the back and reach for the door, " The guy's supposed to be a fighter, that guy doesn't look like a fighter to me. " she continued as another man got out, he was slightly more broader and taller than the first.

" That's gotta be him. " Evan whispered.

But the second man just moved aside as another man came out and he was taller than the second man and built like Logan and he was,

" Woah! Somebody got a real bad sunburn! " Evan exclaimed before he realized he had said it out loud, cowering a bit when the red man turned his ice blue to him with a glare and in a thick, deep, Russian accent growled,

" Dis is my skin! " his large fangs bared at the teen.

" I take it your Azazel? " Charles asked calmly, seeing the man tense and looking ready to fight.

" Da. You must be Charles? " he replied a little calmer than just a second ago. Coming over to him, his hand out stretched.

" Indeed I am. " Charles answered taking his hand and shaking it, " Let me introduce you to your team mates, " he continued turning to the teens,

" These are children. " Azazel stated with a raised eyebrow as he studied them, his eyes stopped at Kurt for a long time, making Kurt nervous with his unblinking stare. Seeing this, Azazel turned back to the first member of the team,

" They may be, but they are more than capable of holding their own in a fight. This is Scott Summers, he's the team leader, " Charles replied gesturing to Scott, who reached out and shook the man's hand,

" Indeed. He has quiet the grip. Who are these lovely lady's? " Azazel asked with a teasing appreciative tone.

" This is Jean Grey, " Charles introduced the redhead.

Jean reached her hand out to shake his, but Azazel took her hand and kissed it like a gentleman.

" Pleasure. " he greeted with a smile, making Jean blush slightly and Scott growl under his breathe. Making Azazel chuckle lowly.

" Katherine Pryde, we call her Shadowcat in the field. " Charles continued and Azazel repeated the gesture for her as well,

" Another pleasure, and the name suits you, you do look like a cat. " Azazel winked, causing Kitty to giggle,

" Just as well, you can call me Kitty. Like everyone does here. " she replied with a slight blush as well.

" I think I will, Kotehok.(Kitten) " he replied with a nod and a grin that oddly reminded her of her best friend.

" Ororo Monroe, we call her Storm. "

Again, Azazel repeated the first two gestures with her, " I'm assuming that your code-name has something to do with the weather, da? " he asked.

" Yes it does. Helps to have cover. " she replied with a smile.

" Indeed it does. " he replied with the same grin and nod, that also reminded her of Kurt.

" And this is Rogue. "

Azazel went for another repeat, but Rogue pulled back, " I wouldn't advise that Red. My touch is something to be avoided. " she said.

" Rogue's power lets her use another mutants powers for a short time as well as gaining a few of their memories with her touch. " Charles informed at seeing the confused look on Azazel's face.

" And normal people are put into coma's. " she finished.

" I see. Well, it is still nice to meet you. " Azazel bowed instead, which she returned.

" This is Evan, Storm's nephew, we call him Spike. "

" Kakov!(What) She is much to young to have a plemyannik(nephew) this old! " Azazel joked as he shook Evan's hand, which nearly came out of socket.

" Yeah well I am her plemyaniak or whatever it is you called me. " Evan replied as he rolled his shoulder.

" Plemyannik. It means 'nephew'. " Azazel said with a grin.

" Oh, so what did I say? "

" The same just without the second N and with an extra A. So lucky for you you didn't say something nasty. " he joked, before turning to the last three members that were there.

" This is Logan, we call him.. "

" Wolverine. Yes I have heard of you. Heard you were quiet the fighter too. " Azazel said taking his hand.

" Were? I still am. " Logan replied with a growl.

" We'll see about dat when we start on the training. " Azazel said back with a challenging glint in his eyes, one that Logan returned and neither one was backing down.

" cough, Uh this is Dr. Hank McCoy, we call him Beast when he's out in the field with the others. " Charles continued, sensing the tension building between the two men.

Azazel finally let go of Logan's hand and shook Hank's hand.

" And this is Kurt Wagner. We call him Nightcrawler. " Charles finished.

" Why be named after a worm? You look nothing like a worm to me. " Azazel asked as he shook Kurt's hand, nodding at the firm grip he received.

" Dat is vhat they called me back home in Germany when I vas in the circus vith my couzins. I climb valls and blend in with the shadows, as well as teleport, like you! " Kurt replied, his tail wagging behind, catching Azazel's eye, making Kurt nervous.

Azazel turned back to him and with a chuckle, he said, " It seems we're more alike than you think, Malen'kaya ten'(Little Shadow) " and from behind him a long whip-like red tail with a wide spade tip appeared and wagged behind him lazily.

Seeing the tail, everyone gasped in shock.

Continuing as though he hadn't heard them, Azazel said with a mischievous grin,

" And if you like, I can show you how to use your tail properly. "

Kurt's eyes lit up at hearing this.

" Don't get too wild Rusky. We need to do some things first before you teach these kids anything. " Logan said coming up to the two.

Azazel stood back from Kurt, " Your protective of these children. I understand that. I shall abide by your rules. If it will help get back at those bastards that captured me and took me away from my family. " Azazel growled, fangs bared again, his tail flicking around angrily like a cowboy or cowgirl slinging a loop-rope in the air.

" And that will be your first lesson while your here. controlling that anger you have for what happened to you. " Logan said.

" Oh? So I need therapy too? My only therapy is for those low-lives blood to be spillt onto my blades! " Azazel growled his tail lashing out and made a crack like a whip.

" Ahh! Vatch it vith dat thing! " Kurt jumped back landing on the house on all fours, upside down, and watching Azazel's tail as though it would strike out and hit him.

Seeing and hearing Kurt, Azazel forced himself to relax. " I apologize. I did not mean to frighten any of you. Perhaps it is best I do as you suggest first. You are friends, not enemy's. " he said calmly, though barely.

" Very well. Let's get you settled in first and more familiar with your new home before we do anything else. Dinner will be done soon. " Charles added as Azazel nodded and went back to the car, getting two suit cases out of the trunk as it popped open, one looked like a normal suit case, the other looked like a gun case, seeing the looks, he set the gun case down at their feet,

" Relax. " Azazel said opening the gun case, inside were two black swords that were narrow at the bottom and widened into diamond shape at the end with gold curve ends at the base of the blades and another gold fan like nub at the bottoms.

" Bangkok Battle Swords. This case was the only one big enough to hold them. Sharper than a razor, so no touching. " he explained the blades.

" They let you keep those? " Logan asked.

" The only things I liked while they kept me in that hell hole. " Azazel replied with a dark smirk. Making the teen shiver at whatever the man was thinking with what he planned to do with them.

" Yeah well those will have to be locked up, the other kids here like to get a little handsy, some more than others. Don't want them hurting themselves. " Logan ordered. " You can use them when your ready to go on any missions we have. " He continued at seeing the disdained look from Azazel.

Grunting, Azazel closed the case and stood, " Very well. But what am I to use during training? "

" We have training courses outside as well as inside with wooden Katana's to practice with. Which I'm in charge of. " Logan answered.

" Wooden Katana's? You teach Tai Chi here too? " Azazel asked with a raised eyebrow.

" Hand-to-hand. And with these kids? Your damn right, trust me, your going to need it. "

Logan turned to go inside when there was a loud flash fire sound behind him, looking back he saw that Azazel and his cases were gone, the teens, Hank, and Charles looks of awe and amusement told him that Azazel had just ported somewhere, turning around, he saw the man and his cases inside the mansion, actually waving at him from atop the stairs, a bamf told him that Kurt also ported and the others ran inside.

" Dat was so cool! " Kurt exclaimed from his spot on the chandelier.

" Yeah that was like totally awesome! " Kitty also exclaimed with the others adding in.

" Off the light Elf! " Logan ordered when he and the other adults came.

" Oops! Sorry! " Kurt bamfed from the light to the floor, Rogue noticed that Azazel had watched Kurt the entire time, with what looked like a bit of pride in his eyes, making her wonder and be suspicious of the man.

" Well let's get you settled. " Charles said.

" I'll show him to his room! " Kurt offered quickly.

" Alright Kurt. The rest of you may go back to what you were doing. Dinner will be on shortly. "

When they all left the entrance way, Charles turned to the other adults,

" Well? What do you think? " he asked.

" He seems nice enough Despite what he's been through. " Hank commented.

" I still think he'll be a danger, especially if he doesn't get a hold of that anger he's trying to hide. " Logan added.

" Well I think it's nice to have another set of hands to help out with the children. However, I can't help but notice the similarities between him and Kurt. " Storm also added as she looked to where the two teleporters left.

" Yes. I noticed that too. Very similar. You don't think..." Hank began.

" Well Mystique didn't say anything about Kurt's father or who he was. It might be a possibility. " Charles supplied.

" And if he turns out to be his father? " Hank asked.

" Then let's hope that he doesn't hurt him like Mystique has. " Charles answered, unaware that they were being heard by a red-skinned teleportor down the hall.

Here's the first ch. hope ya'll like it. and i'll and work more on Kurtty. i've just been hitting a large block with it and might delete it and start over.
