Niklaus Sauer

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt. Cannot be heart, cannot be smelt. It lies behind stars and under hills. And, empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after. Ends life, kills laughter. Niklaus Sauer | 17 | Darkness Manipulator.

Psylocke knew how people felt about telepaths; they didn’t like their minds played with. Around those who weren’t enemies, she tried to be courteous and did her best to not be too invasive. “Use your inside voice.” She said in his mind again as she brushed passed him and entered. “I promise I’m not peeking in there, only broadcasting.” Some kids had super hearing and Betsy didn’t want anyone to get a hint of their curfew breach.

“Anyway, I’m going out to find the assholes who killed those mutants. I think you can help me. With your powers, we can get in and out of here completely unnoticed.” She explained, wondering if he’d even agree. Niklaus always seemed stand-offish, wary even, like he expected the wool to be pulled over his eyes at any second. Betsy didn’t think he trusted them yet, which made his loyalties hard to determine.

“And I thought your powers could use a little work-out. Consider it your first official unsanctioned mission. Besides, these guys are no better than the ones who made you and your sister lab-rats.”She hoped that last bit would push him. It wasn’t just selfish manipulation on her part, but she truly wished to help him. Psylocke knew what it meant to be made into a monster. And she knew what happened when you didn’t feed the beast. It would let itself out.

“I don’t have an inside voice, technically. Only telepaths do.” Niklaus claimed. It was a poor tasting joke, but a joke nonetheless. Probably the best he could do. He was terrible at... relaxing and all that useless junk. His arms folded over his chest. He was definitely on the fence about if she was telling the truth. How could a telepath be in your head, but not in your head.

He was going to brush her off. He didn’t care about those murdered mutants. He didn’t care about anybody but his sister, half the time he hated himself. But, then she brought up that it could have been his sister. Next time, it might, if these damn humans (and some self-harming mutants) decided to go all homicidal again. And, if history was anything to go by, they would.

His fists clenched and the shadows in the room began to twist and dance on their own. Not causing any arm, just clearly agitated. “I don’t want to do a mission. I don’t care about joining... the X-Men or whatever....” he claimed. “But, I’ll go. Just know: I don’t take orders and... and I don’t aim to injure and keep down just for us to get by. If I go in for a guy, I’m gonna kill him.”

“No kidding? I was a girl scout up until fifth grade. Then I was ‘asked to leave’ because I made some of the other girls and their parents ‘uncomfortable’.”

“How exactly did you make them uncomfortable?”

[shadcw-king]

“Yes were allowed in here as long as we clean up are mess. I’ve made the cookies here before.” She got the oatmeal and other things she needed. “Some of us are late for meals or etc were allowed to warm up meals.” She shrugs as she started to mix them.

“That’s ridiculously unorganized. A student could harm themselves using the oven and if they miss on a meal, then too bad, so sad,” Niklaus insisted. “This place has entirely too much freedom.”

The moment Betsy heard the news, rage crept into her bones. She hid it most of the day, especially since she had a few classes to tend to. But the second she was alone, she allowed malice to mask her features. All she could do was stare at the blade on her shelf, contemplating whether not she should sate her thirst. Those people couldn’t get away with what they’d done; slaughtering mutants for no other reason than for what they are. 

Betsy had no hate for mankind, not like some other mutants did, but humans who murdered innocents didn’t deserve to live. The cops would never find them, probably barely even looked. Killing might not have been Xavier’s way, but people like that had no place in the world he sought to create. A Life Sentence in prison was too good for them, they deserved Hell and more. 

It was just past midnight, when she felt it was clear to move about the school. Even still, she masked herself telepathically; anyone who saw her would see nothing but an empty hall. Betsy stood just outside of Nik’s room, giving him a mental tap to see if he was awake. “Nik. Open the door.” She sent, telepathically. “Got some work for you to help me with.”

Niklaus had heard of the news about mutants being killed. Did he care? To some extent. That had been his life for the past nearly ten years. Experiments, watching mutant after mutant die by either giving up or being killed by the guards at the facility. So, he wasn’t as affected as everyone else. If that made him look colder, then so be it. He wasn’t here to make friends or become a family with these people, anyway.

He was up reading a book when he heard a voice echo in his head. As promised, he didn’t get much sleep these days. It was easy, considering he rejuvenated (to some extent) by using the shadows to give him some energy. Consuming the darkness, it was dangerous, but he’d made a promise to his sister and until he was sure they were safe, he wasn’t going to pretend to be comfortable around here.

Tossing his book aside, he got up and walked to the door, opening it up to see one of his teachers. He didn’t know her that well. He didn’t like the way she (or any of the teachers) knew about them. Whether it be by Xavier’s peeking or another telepath’s peeking, or from the police report with all his arrest records with his sister.

“What do you want?” he asked, clearly uninterested. Or, he held up that mask. He was actually very curious.

[shadcw-king]

She laughed outright at that, amused to see what looked like the beginnings of a smile. “What about you then? Am I supposed to believe you’re some boy scout of the year?”

“A boy scout? I used to be, believe it or not. I was six. Tough life, that was,” Niklaus joked lightly.

[shadcw-king]

“I wont be hidding but I am going to the kitchen.” She walked into the door as she headed to get the things to make cookies as she sets it down on the counter as she starts to mix.

“Are you even allowed in the kitchen?” Niklaus asked her suddenly.

[shadcw-king]

She leaned over and kissed his cheek. “Well deal with it ass hat I like you.” She walked along as she grabbed his hand dragged him to were the kitchen was. “Come on gonna make cookies keep me company.” She let go of his hand she walked to the oven. “Yes I agree everyone is a freak in there own way. But to me personaly I get a little more compansion and understanding here tell I am ready to face what the world well be with out a blanket.”

Niklaus tensed up immediately at the kiss to his cheek. His fists clenched tightly and his own shadow lifted off the ground to creep up behind him like a black figure with his anger. “Do not touch me,” he ordered her snappishly. “If I were you, I’d hide behind that blanket for as long as possible. Especially with this habit of pissing people of.”

[shadcw-king]

“Hum yes I could hurt anyone just as easy as out there. But at least here I don’t feel like a freak.” She walked along as she stretched her hand. “But its good to see we have people with attitudes here I was scared this was going to be one of those place were everyone was so possitive” She said with sarcasm. “Thank you for bringing that beautiful ray of sunshine that is you here.” She kept walking. “Though I well admit I am starting to like you.” The sarcasm was dropped and honesty rang.

“They can still look at you like a freak. We are freaks.” Well... he didn’t think his sister was a freak. He definitely was, and everyone around them... probably was, too. “Yeah, well, that’s me. Ray of sunshine and shitting out rainbows. Like that neon cat,” he said with a smirk. “You shouldn’t.”

[shadcw-king]

“Ah, Klaus,” she repeated after him, as if it were the news of the century. Her voice was light and teasing, meaning no harm by the quip however. She had rather enjoyed their back and forth banter so far. It was engaging for her to converse with someone who had similar sarcastic tendencies. “And I don’t know if you’re the best judge of that. I happen to think I’m pretty amazing.”

Niklaus gave her a look. “That’s right. And, amazing or not, I’m calling it in right now. Coal, coal, and more coal. You’ll be drowning in it.” He told her with a mischievous grin. 

[shadcw-king]

“Well from what I understand a powers are controlled by emotion. Maybe not all of them but the ones that are its hard for them to go to school. High school can be a emotional roller coaster and that could mean danger for the student that’s a mutant and the ones that are not. Some people come running here cause its already happen there powers have manifested to fast and they caused harm or death to someone on accident.” She shrugs she been here six months she had meet a few students heard why they were here. She thought about it as she kept walking. “There also the added fact that the classes given here are given by other mutants and there class mates are mutants. So its a secure feeling that your not the only one that is different.”

“You’re still different, that’s complete bullshit. Everyone here, if they think like that, is just creating their own bubble of safety, but it’s just as dangerous here as another place. You can get stressed anywhere, not just high school, you could end up killing someone here just as easily as out there,” he explained.

She’d never in her years had to watch her mouth, not for her accent and definitely not for her native language. “Y-yeah… I’ll try.” Lorelei nodded in understanding, mild as it was. She’d remembered him telling her about America, about how they felt about Germans. All of it being dropped like a bomb on her life. She’d have to fit in, even if just to soothe his worry.

“No, never.” She confirmed, and it was true. They didn’t keep secrets, they never lied, and they were open–always. “Nikky, what if–what if this isn’t good? I’m thankful for having found it, but..” She was worrying again. “Never mind me, I’ll figure it out.” She’d at least have to try, though trying to fit in may prove difficult even when surrounded by mutants. “But they’re like us right? So it should not be bad?”

Niklaus let out a sigh at the stammer in her voice. He hated having to tell her that, but for the first few months here, they would have to be careful. So, they could assess everyone and everything about the school and figure out where they fit in. It was key to survival at the facility, so maybe he was still living in those moments, but from such a young age as when they got sold there, it was all he ever knew.

“If it isn’t, then we leave. Simple as that. I’m going to get a job in town, and we’re not paying rent or bills here. We have free meals. I’ll be able to save up all my money and I can get us a nice place, where you’ll be free to go to a normal school,” he promised her. “Lorelei... nobody is like us. Nobody has seen what we’ve seen, they... they’re not going to understand. You don’t tell anyone where we came from, either, okay? If someone asks, we came from a nice family, with loving parents and a white picket fence in front.”

She shifted awkwardly on her feet. She didn’t need him to protect her, not always, but she was safer in his company. It was just something she had learned. Something she relied upon. Him always being there. “Do we have to do this?” She asked. “Ich will dich nicht verlieren.”

Even if she was the reining princess of fear, she had her own. Lorelei was sure that her mutation was due to an over stress of her own fears. She knew it would be possible. She’d read articles when they had stopped at places that had public access to computers and even newspapers. She had done her research on their kind. “Versprechen, Niklaus?” Even if he was only in shadows at least he’d be there.

Niklaus furrowed his brows at the words. “Don’t speak German here, okay? Try to not slip into an accent, either. We want to fit in here, Lore. Besides, America doesn’t have a very good... history with our country,” he reminded her softly. He didn’t know how... humans or mutants would react to them. He’d seen things as a kid on the news and he’d be damned if he was going to let someone hurt his sister because of assholes from the 40s.

He smiled at her. “Have I ever lied to you?” he asked. “Try not to worry about it. Act like a... normal teenage girl, okay? And, don’t get too close to anyone until I give the okay.”

[shadcw-king]

She thought about that. “I think that I need to learn to control my powers. I want to see what I am capable of as well. From what Xavier says that are powers well evolve. I am going to go to college at NYU and then I well also live here as I do that. Train and see what I grow into.” She looked to him. “Then maybe all move out and find my way.”

“You’re attending a University, as well?” Niklaus asked. He had assumed only students could live here, but that showed to be... false. “So, what exactly is this place Just somewhere for... mutants to come and learn to control themselves? Then what’s the point of holding school classes?”

[shadcw-king]

“Klaus,” she repeated. “Perfect, I’ve just made friends with Santa. Maybe now I’ll get something other than coal in my stocking for Christmas.”

“It’s not Claus. It’s Klaus. A K, not a C, and different pronunciations,” Niklaus claimed with a sigh. “You deserve coal. I know that much,” he claimed in a light, teasing tone.

[shadcw-king]

“Fair enough. Just exceptional wisecracks then? If you need a name, Virginia is preferred.”She shifted her stance and folded her arms with a sincere grin. “What about you? Am I just supposed to keep referring to you as tall, dark, and brooding, or…?”

“Tall, dark, and brooding. Yes, those work just fine,” Niklaus insisted as he continued picking at the food on his plate. “Niklaus Sauer,” he introduced with a strong German accent behind each syllable. “You can call me Klaus.”

[shadcw-king]

She walked along hearing the guy talk to him self randomly he was tall. She nods as she takes a drink of some water. “Depends who cooking some nights its grate there a few nights its just not as edable.” She hummed as she walked along she wore jeans and a tank top as her hair was in two braids. That’s when a wolf came walking up to her and walked along her side sniffed a little at the other. “So your new? I’ve been here about six months.”

Niklaus lifted his head and eyed the other with clear disinterest, not even batting an eye at the wolf. He’d seen weirder things. He was something weirder. “Six months? And, do you plan on continuing your stay here?” he questioned. “Is there an end-goal date you have in mind?” he questioned curiously.
