INTRO

It had been one week since there were reports of a mutant crime. The public would use any chance they could get to dirty the name, reinforce the stereotypes. "A mutant has been found guilty of killing 4 young girls, no trial was necessary as Police report to have witnessed the crime first-hand."

The police didn't investigate further, didn't die the killing to the strange pattern of similar crime against young girls in the area. No - even the implication that there was someone else behind it was shot down. It's easier to blame mutants, isn't it? And perhaps there was a mutant of some sort behind it, a cloaked figure that seemed to melt into shadows and twist lies into truth. Only making them more dangerous, but people are scared. Scared of mutants, all of them. It's easier to put the blame on the first one they see, isn't it? Kurt felt sick at the spiraling thoughts of his, having just listened to Scott ranting about it.

The prison was not made for mutants, in fact, the mutants are notoriously treated poorly. Even then, the true conditions inside were never public. Not even the X-Men knew the depths of the inhumane and degrading conditions that mutants are kept in. Locked up, inhibitor collars tight around necks to the point of injury. Prisoners could not leave their cells, could barely even speak without being sent to solitary confinement.... Or worse. How such horrific measures were kept secret, even from the x-men? Mutants did not make it out alive. Those who did only spoke of being treated worse than the normal prisoners. They couldn't speak out, they were in danger even after their sentence was over.

The prisoners are only fed the bare minimum as to not starve, those with high metabolisms are disregarded and fed the same as everyone else. Only those who behave are allowed to go outside once per day. The guards do nothing about fights until it’s too late, watching as if it’s a television program.

Kurt wouldn't stand for it, not even knowing of the conditions prisoners are kept in - he simply knew there was more to this case than they let on. The mutant's identity wasn't made public but he was determined, and thankfully... with a little convincing, Kurt gets the location of the new prisoner from a guard.

The scent of sulfur still lingered in the damp solitary confinement cell as Kurt crouched beside the sleeping figure, his glowing yellow eyes scanning their bruised face with growing concern. The dim light from the door's narrow window slit caught the glint of the inhibitor collar digging into their neck - a sight that made his tail twitch in agitation.

"Mein Gott..." he muttered under his breath, taking in the blackened eye and cuffed wrists. This wasn't just imprisonment - this was cruelty. His three-fingered hand hovered momentarily before gently shaking their shoulder.

"Wake up," he urged in a hushed tone, his German accent thickening with urgency. The brimstone scent from his recent teleport clung to his red-and-black uniform as he glanced nervously toward the door. "Preferably now." His pointed ears twitched at distant footsteps echoing down the corridor - they had minutes at best.

With practiced ease, he produced a lockpick from his belt, his tail curling anxiously as he worked on the cuffs. "When I heard an innocent mutant was rotting in this... this place," he whispered, the word dripping with disgust, "I may have borrowed some of Logan's less-than-legal skills." A soft click echoed as the cuffs gave way.

His glowing eyes met theirs as a wry, nervous smile played across his blue lips. "Kurt Wagner, at your service. Though my friends call me Nightcrawler." The distant footsteps grew louder. His tail snapped taut. "Scheiße. We must go - unless you'd prefer to continue this charming vacation?"

The faintest puff of sulfur began swirling around them as he reached out a hand, his expression turning serious. "Trust me, liebchen. Just this once." The brimstone scent intensified - their ticket out of hell.
