MINOR INJURIES MEME

You or your meme partner has been hurt, but don't worry! This time around it's not that bad. You can still limp your way out of this mess.

INJURIES.
1. Sprain/strain. How did you screw up walking?
2. Broken bones. Simple fractures still hurt.
3. Cuts. Hopefully one of you has a sewing kit.
4. Burns. Location, location, location. Let's pray this one isn't on your ass.
5. Concussion. No, they're most likely not holding up fifteen fingers.
6. Other. I'm not a doctor.

HOW'D IT HAPPEN.
1. Stupidity. You did this to yourself.
2. Accident. Is an unintentional attack still an attack?
3. Attack. Don't lie, you deserved it.
4. Other. It's probably still your own fault.

WHERE'D IT HAPPEN.
1. Home. Did you remember to invest in a first aid kit?
2. School/Work. This should be excellent for getting you out of doing stuff!
3. Outdoors. Predators like the smell of blood. Clean up asap.
4. In the water. Hopefully there aren't any sharks!
5. Other. Like a hospital. That'd be handy.

He steeples his fingers together thoughtfully.

"It's significant. That means you actually phased out of this current reality for a few seconds." Someone like Kurt would be difficult for even a telepath to track. "What is the trip like for you? Instantaneous?"

He finally draws himself back up, arms stretching above his head then dropping to rest at his hips.

"Ja," he confirms, shifting from one foot to the other, tail flicking back and forth while he thinks. "Everything is black. I move too quickly for anything to really be seen."

"Incredible...how far can you travel?" He puts out a question. "Can you take anything with you or does it disintegrate?"

"Roughly three miles - further if I don't mind the over-exertion." The second question is answered with a broad smirk at first then he moves forward, placing his hands on the arms of Charles' chair.

Without warning, Kurt teleports the both of them to the complete opposite side of the space, dropping backward into a sit once they appear once more. He lets out a heavy breath, blinking rapidly to clear the slight daze and that's when he remembers: the exhaustion doesn't just happen to himself.

"A-Are you alright? I completely forgot about the effect it can have on others."

Charles did his best to brace himself but it wasn't anything he could prevent. The trip is a black nothingness around them before they are suddenly across the room. Charles is dizzy, holding the sides of his head with a groan to try and get the world to stop spinning.

"A little warning next time?" he asks, trying to clear his head. A few moments and it wears off thankfully. And he seems to be all in one piece, as is his chair. He's not saying he wouldn't want to go again, he'd just rather be more prepared.

Seeing the reaction Charles has makes Kurt feel extremely ashamed. So much so that he draws his legs against his chest, curls his tail around his knees and cups his hands against his mouth. He stares for a long moment, waiting for the other male to gather himself, body still tense with concern.

"I'm sorry! I was ... being mischievous." He shuts his eyes, murmuring a string of words in German before finally relaxing and shifting to get back to his feet, though he stays bent low to the ground. "Do you see what I mean though?"

Charles lets him know there was nothing wrong with that display. "No, no, Kurt...that was great. It's amazing you're able to control something like that to the point of pulling another person along with you." He smiles back at the blue teen, letting his stomach settle. "With practice, you could do even more amazing things." Like saving someone's life by bamfing them to another place entirely.

And just like that, all of his tension melts away at the other male's words, shoulders slumping in his more relaxed state. "I haven't tried with more than one person, but it is something I'm willing to test." Kurt visibly perks this time, yellow eyes wide with astonishment. "Do you really think that, Professor? I would like to perfect my abilities if there's a chance they can be put to good use."

"Of course I do."

Xavier stood by the belief that every ability could be used for good. No matter how difficult or deadly.

"Are you currently in school?" He may already know the answer to that one, being that they're at the circus.

"That would be incredible ..."

Lifting himself from the ground, Kurt finally stands back up and moves over to the same beam he had been balancing on before.

"Nein, I am not." He shakes his head and leaps back up onto the piece of wood, looping his tail around it for better stability.

Charles watches him move along the balance beam.

"Would you like to?"

He hesitates in his movements along the beam, turning his attention back to Charles, mouth hanging open in surprise.

"Absolutely."

Charles knew how difficult it would be for someone who looked this different to go to a normal school.

However...at the mansion, he would be among his peers.

"I teach at a school for gifted students." A beat. "A school for mutants. Like you and me."

The only sort of education he'd actually gotten was from his adoptive family and while it was good enough, Kurt could hardly imagine the difference an actual school would make.

And being around other people like him? He was completely sold by that idea.

"Like us?" he asks, thinking the idea over and grinning exuberantly. "That's amazing! How many other students are there? What sort of powers do they have? Will I--" Kurt hesitates, brow furrowing, his smile faltering. "... will I fit in?"

"There are a number of students already, teachers too...you will be able to board with us so long as you help out around the school." Mansion was more like it.

He smiles at that. "That will be up to you, Kurt. I think you'll find many of them are worried about the same thing." Just like regular school.

Charles gives him the address telepathically, they do have to remain a secret school as much as possible. "Classes will be starting in the fall. But if you would like to come early and see the place....?"

"I'll be living there?" He crouches down on the beam, one hand gripping between his feet and the other raising to his chin in thought. Whatever he could help with, he'd be more than willing to do so.

Kurt smirks in return, head bobbing in understanding. "I'm sure many of the students don't possess the same ... appearance as I do though."

Tucking the address into the back of his mind, he draws himself back up a bit, hands moving to grip his knees. "I'd be absolutely thrilled to get to see the school! It might even help if I know exactly where I'll be staying."

"No, not many...some are downright strange," he deadpans with a smile. He angles the chair as if to go. "Anytime you're free, the door is open." He can leave instructions with Hank to let the man in. Beast would probably take to Kurt well, brothers in blue and all that.

Confusion filters across his features before the comment clicks and he flashes a fang-filled grin, head shaking with a snicker. "I'll have to see if I can make time. Sooner, rather than later, ja?" He knows they're in town for a short amount of time, but if he can convince everyone that he wants to stay, to go to the school, he won't have to leave.

"Indeed." He would hate for Kurt to lose his chance at having an education.

He adds as an afterthought, "If you need me to talk to your folks, I can." Talking to parents wasn't his favorite thing to do, but he would be willing to do it.

That suggestion has his eyes widening yet again, bottom lip tucking between his teeth while he ponders the idea. What would his family say? Would they let him stay? Well, there couldn't be any harm in trying.

"You wouldn't necessarily need to talk to them, but if you would like to ..." He saw no reason to keep Charles from doing so. Besides, it would be a better idea for them to actually see that Kurt was telling the truth about going to school by introducing a teacher from said place to them.

He nods understandingly. "Bring them with you. Perhaps if they see the school first hand, they'll be more receptive to you coming."

Oh, he hadn't even thought of taking his family to see the school. That was probably a better plan. "That's a wunderbar idea, Professor. I'll do my best to convince them to come along."
