A/N: This is a Reader-Insert fanfic, so I'll be using a few abbreviations. Here's a key:
Y/N = Your Name
Y/F/N = Your Full Name
Other Notes: Reader is she/her and I pretty much write out Kurt's accent, replacing w's with v's and th's with z's. If it turns out it's too hard for people to read that way, I'll change it.
Also! Here's some translations for German words Kurt uses:
Ja = Yes
Meine freundin = My friend
Enjoy! :)

She's flying, leagues above the city. Wait, why is she up here? She hates heights! Thunder booms and lightning strikes above her as she feels whatever invisible force that was suspending her break away. In an instant she's falling, plummeting to the ground. She screams and covers her face, waiting for the impact!
Then she feels it. Her whole body just drifts through the ground seamlessly, like all the matter in her body has disappeared.
Another loud boom wakes her up, and Kitty Pryde shrieks as she realizes she's in the dark, dank basement instead of her room. The storm rages on, terrifying her further as she clutches her pajamas.
'What.... what happened??' she thinks in a panic, but somehow she already knows what happened. How it happened is what really makes her shiver.
A light turning on attracts her attention, and she breathes shakily as her parents come downstairs. She begins to break down as she grabs her mom tightly, afraid she might slip through the ground again.
"What happened?" Her dad asks with worry, "Were you sleepwalking?"
"No, I fell, I just..!" Kitty sobs, "I fell through the ceiling!"

It's three in the morning and a storm is raging outside. However, the thing that wakes him up is the urgent alert that Cerebro issues. Professor Charles Xavier rolls into his study, lights blinking and alarm beeping, and presses the button that uncovers the supercomputer. Then, he carefully puts on the headset and logs into the system. His mind expands as Cerebro guides him straight to the signal.
"Discovery. Mutant signature. The second detection in this vicinity. Extrapolation complete. Identity confirmed."
He clasps his hands together as the image of a young girl appears on screen. A teenager with dark brown hair pulled back into a ponytail.
"Name: Kitty Pryde. Residence: Northbrook. Age: Fifteen."
He closes his eyes and concentrates on her, reaching out to her mind. It comes in flashes: A nightmare, and then falling right through the floor. By the look of it, the experience really frightened the poor thing.
Charles takes off Cerebro headset and thinks for a moment. Then, coming to a decision, he speaks into the computer.
"Prep the Blackbird."

"Oh, dear.." Her mom says, rubbing her back soothingly, "I'm sure you were just having a nightmare."
"I... don't think so.." Her dad replies, looking up at the ceiling in shock. She and her mother follow, and gasp when they see her blanket and pillow stuck halfway through. Kitty begins to feel ill, and sobs even harder as she clutches her parents.
