A mutant-friendly reality. The island of Kauai. A small house near a beach.

Joy woke slowly, stretching before she opened her eyes and then stopping short as she realized that things didn't sound, feel, or even smell right.

Jerking to a sitting position, she looked around with dismay to find herself in a tiny, comfortably furnished room, tucked into a pile of cushions and sheets on a broad windowseat that overlooked a patch of semi-tropical undergrowth.

The gentle beauty of the place was lost on her as she tossed the bedding aside and leaped toward the door. "Kurt??"

"I'm here, fraulin," he hurried in, blinking in confusion. "Don't vorry... uh... it's under control."

[random_xtras]

She was shaking slightly as she went to him for comfort, though she breathed a sigh of relief and gave a fervent, "Got se Danke!"

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

He hugged her tightly, looking around.

"I think ve are safe," he murmured, stroking her hair, looking around, still confused, but more or less alright.

"Know ye vhat this place is, Leibe?" She lifted her head and took a look around herself, seeing a small, rustic place decorated with shells and other bits of sea paraphernalia.

"Nien, but I do not think zat ze bad guys vould make us a home such as zis if it vas a prison," he smiled.

[random_xtras]

"True." She stepped past him out of the bedroom and saw that the rest of the... cabin? was a single smallish room with an ancient propane range and a kitchen table in one corner. An assortment of worn and comfortable furniture filled the rest of the space. Then she turned her head and perked her ears as a far away voice called out cheerfully. "D'ye ken vhat 'Ohanna' means?"

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

"Nien," he blinked. "Vere did you hear zat?"

[random_xtras]

"Somebody ootside said it." She walked over to the window, her ears perking toward the ocean and her eyes going wide with wonder and amazement. "Och!"

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

"Vow," he agreed, looking out a window in amazement.

[random_xtras]

"Is 'at... t' ocean?"

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

"Ja," he stared. "Ze Pacific, no doubt about it."

[random_xtras]

"The Pacific?" She looked at him questioningly.

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

"Ja," he said, wrapping his arms around her tighter and nuzzling her hair. "Ve should find out vhere ve are, und how we got here."

[random_xtras]

"Vell, vhat islands're in the Pacific?" She lay her head on his shoulder and wrapped him in her wings, then chuckled slightly as his belly growled.

"Um... Hawaii?" he blinked, shrugged. "You hungry, fraulin?"

[random_xtras]

"I could eat." She lets go to look around again, then takes a tentative step into the main room. "Vhere vere ye sleepin'?"

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

"In a Hammock in dere," he pointed, then let go of her and took her hand. "Come, I saw a kitchen. Let's see if zere's anyzing I can make you."

[random_xtras]

She looked at the corner of the main room that he had pointed to, which was curtained off with a sheet, then followed him over toward the range and the old-fashioned tin sideboard that stood near it.

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

"Hmm," he said, looking in the tiny, old fridge, then smiled.

"Lobsters for dinner," he muttered approvingly. Then he looked up. "Omlettes sound good?"

[random_xtras]

"Ja." Her ears twitched as she opened the cupboard over the sideboard. "Ach, tis yer beer. T' one ye like best."

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

"Somevon is looking out for us," he smiled slightly, glancing towards Heaven and murmuring a short thanks before he started gathering the ingrediants.

[random_xtras]

"Alvays." Her ears twitched again as she closed that cabinet and investigated the lower drawers, door and bins. "I should see if there's somethin' more'n me nightdress t' vear."

[bloody-wagner.livejournal.com]

"Ja," he smiled, looking at her adoringly. "I vill haff you a vonderful meal ven you come back, mien liebe."

[random_xtras]

She touched his cheek, noting to herself that he seemed to have been sleeping in his clothes again, then turned and walked back into the bedroom, praying fervently that Kurt would still be there when she came back out.

He was, and in the middle of singing some German love song as he seasoned a couple lovely omlettes, tail swishing as he grinned to himself and pushed some bacon around in a different frying pan.
