Healing au (3/3)
N/A: Lat part of this AU and it will be incomplete, well, in an opening end of sorts.

The new Kingdom wasn´t annexed in his belt of conquest because, in Kurt´s eyes, that kingdom he raises from ashes is to Zaorva, and Kurt does not need to make a powerful enemy in Zaorva, so, this Kingdom works under her laws and this seems to please the deity.
The healer, an immortal healer that Kurt can´t shake her image out of his mind, is his faithful company, in a sense, his allies may die, his women may die, but, this enigma of the healer is always by his side, of course, not as he wishes to.
“Stop that, Necromancer!” Kitty screams as her hands are glowing. Kurt has to give credit, Kitty Pryde has more energy and courage than many enemies he faced, however, is not enough. “No, I´ll conquer the entire world, Katzchen”
Kitty shakes her head in disbelief. “Why?” and she was expecting a grandiose speech or maybe a sad childhood memory, instead, what she gets is. “Why not?” and Kurt has his army of zombies outside, new additions can be seen and Kurt is now gazing into her doe eyes.
“Look, why do we need to fight? Join me, we can do so much together” Kurt starts and Kitty can pinpoint how many of his students used something similar on her and in the others healers, of course, they must have learned from the best and evilest wizard ever.
“Kurt, I can´t be your evil queen, as my place is next to Zaorva´s light and I know you fear her, and I know you don´t believe in love ever since Alma did die” Kitty replies in an honest tone, if the intention was to level with Kurt, it manages to do the opposite.
“Who do you know about Alma? I only told….this to Bob” Kurt said in a hissed tone and Kitty is ready to end this cat-mouse game. “Look, let´s cut the chase, I know, you know, we both know. I was Bob the entire time and my first mission was to make sure you didn´t have the spear, however, I have no clue people already destroyed the spear…even knowing that information I still keep as a Bob because I like to be around you…when you aren´t the EVIL Necromancer, you can be a nice guy”
Kurt is blinking slowly and re-thinking everything he thought he know. Kitty was Bob? She thought he knew? Suddenly, this makes so much more sense, why Kitty knows little details about how Kurt likes his coffee or beer if he only has this conversation with Bob?!
Kurt is gracious enough to not say anything, no words can be formed in his lips, as he silently leaves along with his army. Kitty Pryde is sure the man is thinking on the next move of their game, while the kingdom is afraid of what this will mean for them. People start paying tributes to please Kurt, who ever since that big revelation, is in a silent mood, the tributes are far more luxurious than anything Kurt could ever hope if he had come and conquered the city/kingdom himself, in fact, is more lucrative this way.
Kitty goes to speak with the necromancer, but, his mansion is gone and no one knows where he is. Time is incredibly relevant if you have all the time in the world, and the next time she saw Kurt is in a creepy circus…he runs.
“Katzchen, I´m glad fate brought you here” Kurt speaks and Kitty can see his white hair and how that makes him look old and completely different from their last conversation. “I did leave without saying a word” there´s a tone of apology as he continues “in reality, I was dealing with personal affairs, well, it wasn't a nice excuse for leaving without saying a word, but, if we can be friends, no secrets this time” Kurt adds much to her surprise “I would be happy”
Kitty smiles amused. “ Of course, I heard you lay off the whole conquistador thing” she is visible proud and Kurt can see she does not know his others “business” well, conquer kingdoms are too complexed in the end. Kitty seems to accept his apology as she accepts shaking his hand firmly.
Kurt offers a smile as he walks along with the healer, too trusting and not aged a bit, somehow this is good, somehow this is bad, the contrast of evil and good is always a cliché Kurt didn´t believe until now. “Still a healer of Zaorva?” Kurt asked still fearing the name itself. Fear is a way to show respect.
“Oh, of course, I also work with the X-men…sometimes” then she adds “and you decides to use your amazing abilities of a detective to be a ringleader, that´s impressive,” Kitty speaks honestly. Kurt blinks, amazing abilities of a detective?
“Why you said that?” Kurt asked confused. “Wait, why you never told me before you were Bob?” the question is laced with confusion and more confusion(the anger? It vanished along the years)
Kitty blinks as if he´s making a dumb question. “Kurt, you always knew I was Bob and we were always playing this game, but, now we don´t have any motivation to keep up the game anymore, we can finally be honest with each other” Kitty declares.
What? Is all Kurt Wagner is thinking.
Kitty Pryde is a trademark in Kurt´s life at this point, to the point, their kids Damian and Talia spot the woman several, several times in their father´s house, a lovely woman in their opinion, she has one flaw.
“Your father is a great detective, I´m sure he knew Princess Susan and his own student Mortis were a couple all this time and he did all that confusion to allow the two women to marry each other” Kitty confessed with such sheer honesty that makes Talia and Damian look pissed and disapproving at Kurt who is looking at his own tea.
“Yeah, that´s dad, the greatest detective ever!” there´s a heavy sarcasm tone in their line that Kitty is not understanding and Kurt still is talking about his own tea. The scene is being watched by Zaorva and Venus.
“I was right, Venus!” Zaorva exclaimed proudly.
“About him being an idiot or she being too sweet/naïve?” Venus asked.
“Well, both in this case, but, they will stay together from now on” Zaorva concludes impressed with herself and Venus can risk one chore done out of her list.
