"If you were circus, does that mean your flexible? I don't really want to sleep right now. I do need a distraction for a little. Fancy Twister?"
Jade was taken back by the sudden realization that the person sitting across from her was in fact an X-Man or was men? How did it work when one was not in a group? Did change or was it like Moose where a group of moose is moose. Jades mind wandered back to Kurt as she peered over and looked down at his phone. It was definitely Jean Grey that had been helping her. So not only had Jade randomly been found by Jean who is/was an X person who is connects to Kurt. Jade analyzed the photo again, wait that other person fit the description of Logan who Carol had mentioned as the father of Laura who Carol had also mentioned. Jade tried to process all that she was thinking about and realized that her cultural upbringing had really sheltered her from so much. It also dawned on Jade that Kurt was the first person to talk about Xavier school to her. People like him and her? Did he mean he wanted her to check the school out? Jade remained silent to that option not really sure how to address the fact she really didn’t belong or fit into a school or really any grouping of super hero’s. She decided to leave that for another conversation with Kurt as he changed the subject and started asking her about being flexible.
Jade shook the previous thoughts out of her head and smiled at the comment about being in the circus and twister. It occurred to her now, that Kurt may be hitting on her. Jade for some reason wasn’t uncomfortable with this though as something about Kurt definitely drew her to him. She decided to let her emotions of happiness take over and went with the flow. She laughed a little as she headed over to the book shelf of items again.
“Well I wouldn’t say I’m not flexible, I’ll leave that for your imagination.”
She did in fact find a game of twister in the shelf and pulled it out. Jade placed these on the floor and took off her knee high boots.
“Well would you look at that, there just happens to be a game of twister here. Who should go first, or should we do like rock paper scissors to see who will spin the spinner first.”
Jade smiles playfully at Kurt welcoming the distraction of a game of twister verses the seriousness of everything else in her life. Besides with the storm tonight wouldn’t have been a good night for hunting.

Kurt pushed himself up off the sofa. He didn't normally do this when first meeting people but it had been a long time since he had played twister with someone who had been in the carnival. He knew he could win hands down but it would still mean a good game if she could keep up. Plus he didn't need to take a hand off to spin the dial... thank Gott for his tail! Kurt bowed and tilted his head.
"Ladies first."
As he waited for his turn he too took off his shoes. At least now the injuries were gone and that would lead to a better game. He didn't mean to be trying to get close to her he just needed that contact. He wouldn't do anything, it wasn't like that. He just needed to have time to have fun. He looked back up at Jade and sighed.
"I'm sorry... I can't... I can't have fun."
He almost spat fun out. He wanted to run, wanted to get out of there! His breathing was getting faster and the flashes of light and loud bangs were getting closer together.

Ladies first."
As he waited for his turn he too took off his shoes. At least now the injuries were gone and that would lead to a better game. He didn't mean to be trying to get close to her he just needed that contact. He wouldn't do anything, it wasn't like that. He just needed to have time to have fun. He looked back up at Jade and sighed.
"I'm sorry... I can't... I can't have fun."
Jade watched as Kurt came over at first he was willing to have fun with her. As he approached her and took off his shoes Jade saw something quickly change. She immediately knew that this game idea was bad idea. Jade didn’t need Kurt’s verbal reaction to know that he was uncomfortable to say the least. Jade didn’t intend to make him panics or anything, but it was very clear she had done just that.
Jade gingerly bent down having previously not acknowledged her pain this moment seemed to hurt a bit more as she cleaned up the game hastily and tossed it near the book shelf to be put away later. She calmly approached Kurt and offered out her hand.
“Hey listen, no worries we don’t have to play games or anything like that. It’s ok really I get it twister isn’t exactly my cup tea either. I’ll follow your lead. You can just look around the room at the art work if you want. you can go down stairs and distract yourself with items in the shop. Like I said before this is a sanctuary not meant to be a place of fear or pressure.”
Jade outwardly breathed a deep breathe of relief. The truth was just the mere mentioning of the circus and being a contortionist brought back traumatic memories of when the puppet master used her. He used her flexibility as part of his shows. She may not have had the metal in her body from when he made her literally his puppet anymore thanks to Shadow King, but they still felt real when the memories threatened to come back. Jade tilted her head back and forth and moved her back just slightly trying to crack her muscles a bit to forget the memory again. This time though real pain answered as Kurt’s injuries on her were still present. Jade winced for a moment and brought herself back immediately, hoping Kurt would not have noticed.
The thunder clapped over the building and lightning struck outside the window. Jade knew it meant the storm was over them now. She prayed the power wouldn’t go out for she knew some things in this place went bump in the night. Jade was fairly certain she could contain them, but really did want to give Kurt time to recover. He seemed so very shook and like he needed time to just heal his whole nervous system.

He looked at her seeing the stiffness that he had had. The pain he had felt. She gave him permission to not play and reassured him that it was ok. He wasn't ok, he was far from ok. His breathing was getting a little faster as he tried to steady himself. It didn't matter that the storm was overhead, what mattered was they were safe. Being given that permission made the whole world feel like it was spinning uncontrollably. He collapsed onto his knees and cried into his hands. The sorrow just too much and now he had given her his pain! He should have stopped her, he should have. He started to try and say a prayer but he couldn't get very far with it. "NEIN!"
He shook his head. He wanted to teleport. He looked up to Jade with tears flowing down his face. "Gott vergib mir! Es tut mir Leid!"Translation God forgive me! I'm sorry! He stood up and moved to the widow looking out, the weather was horrendous.

Jade saw Kurt’s panic and immediately grabbed him into the tightest embrace she possibly could muster. She whispered to him softly.
“Shhh I’m ok, I understand your fear. Please stay with me, please don’t leave. You are here for a reason.”
Jade heard the storm above them and was seeing the panic in Kurt. It was perhaps the fact she healed him that freaked him out, she didn’t want to intrude on his mind and connect to him, but if she was to help him she may need to do just that. Jade remembered all too well her moments with Jean and Carol. She remembered how broken she was when she came to them and how they didn’t give up on her and the last thing Jade was going to do was give up on Kurt. She held him tighter not letting go and even used a bit of her Chi to keep the bound strong. Jade knew he would resist at first, he was in full on fight or flight panicking about his every move. Jade didn’t know if he made the connection of her helping him meant she took on his injuries or if the storm was making it all that more complicated for him. All she knew was she understood a traumatic response and right now Kurt was full throttle having a panick response. Jade spoke softly again to Kurt as she continued her embrace.
“Please just stay please let me help you. You may think somethings right now, but your the only one I have ever spoken to that has shared so much in common with me. Please just stay with me, I want to help. I may not understand but I am willing to try. You are so fearful, yet I am the one who makes the choices to do the things I do. Please allow me to help you.”
Jade didn’t say much more she just held Kurt in silence. What was it about him that made her desperately want to hold him and not let go. Was it he reminded her of how broken she was when she met Carol and Jean and how now she could offer him the help they gave her? Jade did for Kurt what Jean and Carol did for her. She whispered softly into Kurt’s ear.
“Sleep”
She didn’t take her action lightly nor did she want to do this to him. The last thing Jade wanted was to take away someone into the dream world, but Kurt was so exhausted and panicked Jade felt it was the only way to keep him from leaving or hurting himself or both really.
A faint voice of Jade was heard as she brought him to the dream world. Their physical bodies still in the mortal plan, but now they entered the dream world together.
“Please forgive me”

When she held him he tried to fight but the more he did the weaker he felt and the more tears came. As she spoke to him, he sobbed harder and the fight eased out of him. It was his fault. His.... then the word came and his eyes closed and his body fell into a deep sleep. The dream came on fast, it was like this at the moment. He couldn't see it like she could, she could see large red cracks and red threads tangled within the dream but Kurt was moving through it.
Started the same with him weak and putting his blood into a large vat then skipped to a deciscion taking a parcel from a red bamf and delivering it. Seeing Mystique, another red Bamf watching them. Another parcel being delivered but this time the building exploded behind him as he left. Being in his room, basic but for the desk with books on shelves. He tossed and turned in the bed and sobbed himself asleep. It flipped round and round coming back to the fight between him and two different vampires where one becomes a wolf. The ones voice echoing in his mind calling his name. He seemed stuck on a loop.
Marking papers were on the desk unmarked and Bamfs sat there marking them while he slept. The pain that was inflicted seemed to just go on and on. Chipping away a bit at a time of his hope. It felt like this had been going on for a long time. People had noticed and wanted to help but he couldn't tell them what was going on. He showed some but they had to leave to do other work so he was forgotten again.
The red cracks, even now gradually spread larger and the threads became denser, like he was torturing himself even in his sleep. There was a small glimmer of light in the distance which seemed to be barely staying lit. A light of love, hope, joy, forgiveness all the positive. That was being overcast by all this red.

Jade felt the energy shift immediately she was in the dark parts of Kurt’s mind. The darkness that lived in him causing him so much pain as loss of hope. It reminded her of when she lost Eric and was held prisoner that fateful night when shadow took over. She would never forget that, but had learned to move past it. It angered her inside that someone else had been taken advantage of like herself and all she wanted to do was avenge him, but she knew there would be a time and a place to let the anger go, right now Jade needed to help Kurt. He noticed all the red floating around and thought it was maybe blood or something else. Jade spoke to Kurt as she went to her knees and knelt down.
“Close your eyes for a moment. There will be a very bright light. “
With that Jade put both arms together and said “into the light” Towards the end the was light was it grew brighter as if the celestials themselves had blessed Kurt’s mind and soul with light . It was all Encompassing in both Kurt’s mind and physical body. Within moments the light faded to a safe point where Kurt could open his eyes. Jade moved through the strange Shattered red strands as if they were lasers in a bank vault . She moved closer to Kurt her voice filled with kindness
“Your past doesn’t define you, who you were then. What you did doesn’t make you who you are now or in the future. You can’t let your dark memories control you, we have all done things we regret with consequence we never wanted.”
Jade walked to him now her outfit sparkling like star light as she grabbed his hand firmly and spoke.
“ You are not alone in this journey. You will not be alone again. This is your story to tell you are the narrator of your story. I say this with the most sincerity possible. I allowed darkness and anger to control me and it almost fully consumed me. Jean and Carol should me a new path, they helped me understand that darkness can not drive out darkness only light can do that”
Jade held onto to Kurt tighter as she did she grab his other hand turning him towards her and looking into his eyes.
“These images are in your mind memories that do not need to control you any more. You can move past this Kurt. I believe in you, I will be your light and strength until you can build yourself back. You can choose to let this consume you and become something you are not or choose to be who you are and release yourself from this memory using the light that grows deeper within you.”
With those words Jade reached and grabbed the red string and pulled it towards the light realizing it was fading away with the light. Jade continued to look at Kurt her eyes sparkling with star light.
“You can control these dreams and memories Kurt. You don’t have to be the darkness that made this a reality for you. I’m so incredibly sorry you had to endure this and go through it. But know you don’t have to let the darkness win. “
Jade brought Kurt into her again embracing him in a hug surrounded by her light energy.

Kurt heard something and he blinked as he was being held tight against a pillar by a hand around his neck. One arm limp by his side, his breathing difficult. There was light like before and like before his body crumpled to the floor but instead of falling unconscious he heard a voice, it wasn't Jean but someone else. He opened his eyes and he saw her approach. The red faded slightly from the light and the light in the distance had got brighter.
In the past he didn't get up, he just stayed there on the ground to wake later. He saw the stars and felt her touch and he pushed himself up. The grip was strong and he looked down at it the up at Jade as she made him look at her. The anguish and pain clear on his face. He tried to talk but no words could be formed, nothing came out but she kept talking.
Kurt looked to the light in the distance and he shifted to try and run towards it but he couldn't get anywhere. The red strings were pulling him backwards but Jade was freeing him and the light got brighter again but the exhaustion on Kurt was clear. His whole being was worn down and the running slowed and he collapsed again. He looked into Jade's eyes as they both lay on the ground there was light there too. He tried to speak again but still words didn't sound out. Something had bound Kurt with magic an old magic.
Then there was a hug and light, so much light that finally he found his voice.
"I'm so tired. I can't say but show. I am happy with the choice I made because I saved lives at the cost of my own. I was happy to die. Then Jean saved me. I knew he had won and she stopped it. I played my part and he made me fight. I always said I would never fight for him and that is what he made me do! I'm so tired!"
It was then that a large red hand seemed to claw into Kurt but he didn't scream and what was left behind was another set of strands and a slight crack. It wasn't a hand like Kurt but with five fingers and very demonic. Kurt spoke quietly, his body heavy on Jade as his exhaustion was clear.
"He won."
He looked away from the light at the darkness but then his hand squeezed Jade's and he looked back at the light.
"He won but I'll win next time. It was worth the loss."
Blue Bamfs appeared all over the place and started running towards Kurt but they seemed slow.
"I won them. I wish I could have got more."
In the distance there were red bamfs running in the opposite direction and jumping into the cracks. For a moment as they fell they seemed to switch between blue and red.

Jade was experienced with ancient evils and pain for herself. Kurt’s pain and torment was different he seemed so kind and innocent he didn’t deserve what happened to him, most victims of evils didn’t deserve what happened to them. She observed everything going on and couldn’t help, but feel familiarity with what Kurt described and she saw. The puppet master and Shadow had done something similar to her. Jade didn’t want to commit the acts under shadow she did. Jade didn’t want any of the torment she received under Puppetmaster. Jade didn’t speak just yet she just listened and observed. She stood up from where she was laying. Her body in any realm could be injured, but in the dream world Jade knew she’d be ok. Jade outstretched a hand to Kurt and spoke with a certain gentleness and light. Her hand was still holding his, never breaking the physical connection not even when she stood up.
“I am glad you gained something positive from your torment. You didn’t deserve what happened to you and wasn’t your choice. You don’t have to live in that pain anymore. You can move forward into the present. You said Jean helped you? She’s an amazing individual isn’t she, but she has darkness too she worked beyond. If I have learned anything even from Shadow King we can chose our destinies nothing is set for us. Carol also taught me that you can have great darkness and still be a hero. You proved that with the lives you saved.”
Jade paused for a moment watching the Blue Bamfs running around. She outwardly sighed and spoke to Kurt.
“You say your tired, rest is ok to take, I can stand guard for you tonight. Rest my friend let your body and mind heal.”
Jade knelt down on the ground for a moment, still holding Kurt’s hand. She closed her eyes and focused her Chi and her soul reaver blades appeared on her back. They sat in their golden holster centered on her back. Jade stood up again and spoke to Kurt. Her outfit of stars still shining bright.
“Like I said you are safe in my sanctuary. You are safe with me. The things in your dreams and mind are not real. They are memories causing you pain and suffering. I can help you over come these. I can keep watch while you rest.”
Jade was use to guarding and protecting others, she was a well trained warrior that way, even if she was a bit young again as Shadow king pointed out to her.

Kurt had always had to be stopped by various people because he would work together just to save one more person. The hand helped and he held tight. The two fingers and thumb clamped round Jade's wrist. The loop had been broken but events kept trying to sneak into their own vision. The blue Bamfs being the only thing to help Kurt and stay in one place.
"I wish I could have saved more."
Various visions of people putting him unconscious when he wanted to go and save others. Times his friends had stopped him teleporting knowing that just one more would be too much for him. He had never got to that point where his teleporting had killed him. He had got to points where he just collapsed due to the strain and he still wanted to do more. Still wanted just one more and he was always blinded to other ways of helping people.
"Just one more."
His grip lessened on her hand as he felt like he was falling. He wasn't just his body and mind was going into a very deep sleep. The sleep that healed. The echos faded, the red was still there but was starting to be consumed by the white light which got brighter.
In time his mind came to lighter sleep and the nightmares started again but the Bamfs helped to defend them. To Jade they seemed to be there, in the room where the pair were several Bamfs had tucked them both under blankets and settled them. They tended to Kurt who tossed and turned. Sweating through the nightmares.
Each time his conscious grew more awake he had the dreams come back. Each time he grew a little stronger, sometimes he would pray other times he fought back this latter made him even more exhausted but it helped. Gradually the cracks started to close. His mind healing. His body resting. Finally he just slept. Despite his stomach grumbling ad the storm fading, he slept.
There was still work he needed to do but for now he needed to just sleep all the exhaustion he had felt before that day.

"I wish I could saved more. Just one more."
Jade removed herself from Kurt’s dreams, knowing he needed rest more than anything. She stood watch as bamfs appeared and tucked Kurt in, offering him comfort. She didn’t need to be in his mind to know and understand the movements of a soul haunted by the visions and nightmare of his past. Jade couldn’t explain it, but all she wanted to do was be with Kurt. There was something compelling her to watch over him as he slept. She decided the chair he was in would not be suitable place to sleep. Jade used a small amount of her Chi and generated great strength scooping up Kurt into her arms and moving him to the bed in the back room. She refused to leave his side, no she was real when she told him he wasn’t alone and wouldn’t be fighting alone. She grabbed a few couch cushions from the other room and a spare throw blanket from the basket next to the book shelf and curled up next to Kurt her hand lightly touching his. Jade let her light flow to him keeping shield form any dangers surrounding them. She didn’t sleep instead she monitored his sleep.
Jade sighed softly not wanted Kurt to leave she gripped his hand tighter. He had no idea that even though he was the one in need of healing tonight he had helped Jade understand something she had long ago thought she lost, companionship. She whispered softly.
“Please don’t leave me. Or forget me”
Jade just felt something when he was here. She barely knew him, but something made her feel whole like he completed her. Jade would not tell him that, as she knew he had his own demons to battle, but for the moment she would provide him peace and allow him a good nights rest.
In the morning they would sort things out. For now Jade laid near him gripping his hand tightly making sure he wouldn’t slip away from her.

Kurt slept, in and out of dreams but eventually he settled into a stillness. The Bamfs made sure that Jade had a good blanket on her and eventually vanished for a while before returning.
Kurt woke to the sun, it was gone noon before he came out of his sleep and his head felt stuffy. For a few seconds he was confused as to where he was and could smell something sweet cooking and hushed chatter from a couple of bamfs, there were lots of shhhs going back and forth. Kurt sat up and looked at Jade.
"Good morning? I think breakfast is being cooked."
Pancakes, waffles, sausages and fried eggs were on the table with a sad looking tall flower stood in a mug. Kurt stood up moving the blanket off of him.
"Danke, for helping me last night. The past few months have been tough."
He didn't need to say anything else. The fruits of his efforts, well some of them, were currently busy trying not to make noises.... They were actually good at stealth but when they are happy to be there and trying not to wake Kurt and Jade they were struggling just a little!

Jade for the first time in as long as she could remember didn’t wake up screaming.No nightmares, no dream walking, no instead Jade slept for the first time in a very long time. She rubbed her eyes gently and stretched as she yawned and unexpected blanket edge entered her mouth. Gracefully Jade moved the blanket and looked at Kurt with a smile.
“Someone is cooking…”
Jade was confused who was cooking and how in the world were they making such a big breakfast considering the only thing she had in the back was a full size refrigerator and a hot plate. That’s when she remembered Kurt’s BAMFS, they were not only adorable little creatures, but resourceful too. Jade heard Kurt speak more and she didn’t know what came over her, but she wrapped her arms around him and gave him a tight squeeze.
“I am happy to help any time, like I said this place is a sanctuary. You are always welcome here. If you wish to tell me your story I will listen without judgement. “
Jade knew all too well what it was like to have demons in your head from past events and rough times and months. She had tried to make things better by learning from Jane and Carol, but she wanted justice in this world. It was the driving force behind what she did at night, the reason she hunted, the reason she didn’t sleep. None of that though seemed to mater in this moment of embrace with Kurt. She didn’t know what it was exactly but she just knew she didn’t want to lose him. Lyrics to a song repeated loudly in her head as she got up and approached the area where the BAMFS were. “Please stay, I want you, I need you,oh God Don't takeThese beautiful things that I've got.” Jade didn’t understand the connection to Kurt and the song until rage reached for the energy drink from the fridge to mix with her coffee. She blinked for a moment Kurt in some way connected to her like Eric. Jade nearly dropped the can on the floor as she closed the fridge door. A BAMF quickly came along and helped Jade bring the can to the table. Jade smiled at the little creature and spoke softly, shaking the memory of Eric from her mind.
“Thanks for that friend, thanks for making breakfast you guys are a resourceful little bunch.”
Jade grabbed an already filled coffee mug and poured the energy drink inside. The BAMF became very curious with her actions and imitated Jade taking an energy drink out of the fridge and pouring it into a cup of coffee. Jade quickly acted placing her hand over the mugs top as her drink took its affects of effectively helping Jade to focus and wake up.
“Now now, this mixture isn’t for you guys, just people like me who uhhh well let’s just say I’m a real night owl.”
Jade wasn’t sure how Kurt would react to finding out she didn’t sleep and the last thing she wanted to do was burden him more with her story. The last thing she wanted was to break her connection with him and scare him away. Jade slid over a regular cup of coffee, but was a bit late for other BAMFs who now consumed the mixture in the cup as they had helped themselves to the last remaining energy drinks in the fridge. In a reluctant way Jade inwardly sighed and picked at a few bits of her breakfast.
“Oh boy, I’m not sure what affects this will have on you guys or really just anyone who doesn’t have the same tolerance I do for caffeine, uhh Kurt uhh what did you say these guys are agin? Ummm does Caffiene affect them the same way as everyone else, because uhh I think we are about to find out.”
Jade ate a few more bites of her food and watched the energy quickly shift in the BAMFS from trying to stay quiet to very caffeinated. Luckily Jade was able to snatch away the mixtures before they were finished and knew how to get more energy drinks. She finished her coffee and energy drink mixture just as the apparent fun was starting.

After getting up he stretched a little before finding her embracing him. He didn't mind it felt good so he put his arm around her until she broke it off. He hair smelt great and he just felt good. Looking at the Bamfs he smiled and found somewhere to perch whilst enjoying breakfast.
"They are good, for the most part."
When he saw them trying to duplicate Jade he tried to get the cup off of them but with a quick BAMF they were on the other side of the room and several of them joined it.
"Absolutely not...... ohhh no! Please tell me you don't have any more of those drinks here?"
He let out a sigh as he was finally able to take the mug from them whilst one's eyes opened wide.
"These are Bamfs. These little ones are here because they are handy to have around. There are others. I wish I could stay but I have a duty of care at the school and I really need to go spend some time in a monastery."
He watched and waited for the.... BAMF! BAMF! BAMF! Running on the ceiling and walls the BAMF! BAMF! vanishing and reappearing all over the place. Then BAMF! it vanished and the sound of something metal hitting the floor downstairs was heard. Kurt flinched.
"Sorry!"
BAMF! it reappeared upstairs wearing a copper pot.
"That's what happens when they have too much coffee."

Shenanigans that was all that could be described as the tiny blue BAMFS eluded Kurt and Jades best efforts to stop them from consuming even more caffeine. Jade swooped down just as one vanished away with a cup off coffee, luckily Jade had an endless supply of energy drinks, but they weren’t kept in her Gallery. She would just use her portals and go to the store when she needed. Jade smiled and gave a soft laugh as one BAMF turned up with a pot on its head. She smiled kindly and took the pot off its head as she talked to Kurt.
“It’s ok they are just little ones who are curious they don’t know any better. Isn’t that right my friend, I now know though to keep my beverages away from you guys.”
Jade processed the part about leaving for the school. She admired his sense of higher order and responsibility. The song lyrics played in her head as she cleaned up the remaining items the BAMFS had gotten into. “Please stay I want you, I need you, oh God Don't takeThese beautiful things that I've got”
Jade smiled as Kurt apologized and she spoke to him with a calm, but slightly sad tone. Even with the amount of caffeine running through her body Jade remained pretty calm.
“You are welcome here any time, I understand your duty to the school. I find that admirable really. You must do some amazing work there. As for a monastery never been to one myself, but I understand the need to ground yourself and find inner peace.”
She sighed for a moment finishing her second cup of coffee. Jade knew she probably needed to check on the store and whatever had fallen down from the Bamfs and open soon herself. She looked at the outfit she had on from from yesterday, surprisingly enough it wasn’t covered in blood stains and she wasn’t desperately seeking a shower to remove the night before after passing out on her couch in her apartment. She gave Kurt a small smile and gently ran her hands through her rainbow colored hair, the braid she had in was messy in the moment allowing a few strands of wavy brown hair to fall down.
“If you would allow I’d like to stay connected to you, it doesn’t hurt me or anything like that. It’s just a way for us to find our way back to each other if need be. Since I walked into your mind I’m connected to you. I always ask permission before I keep my connections. My connections don’t hurt the other person either. Just if you ever need someone or want sanctuary again all you have to do is think it and reach out to me. I’ll know you want to find me. I’ll make myself known or you can even find me. I mean I’m mostly here at my shop so it wouldn’t be that hard.”
Jade smiled softly hiding her feelings, not wanting to influence Kurt in a way or cause him hurt or pain. Jade wished him well and peace. The truth was Jade just didn’t want to have Kurt leave and not find him again, sure he was at some school for mutants and connected to the X-men, but Jade was not she didn’t really feel like she belonged anywhere let alone the X-Men school. Kurt though he gave her something, the thing she didn’t want to let go of.
