N/A: I never meet a Brian that wrong me. So, fuck canon and throw it to the sun.
Brian Braddock is using his power to rebuild the lighting house, while is true the lighting house is cover with magic, the structure still may suffer damages as any other lighting house would.
Using his super strength makes the job of caring heavy logs easier, however, it does make Brian sweet thanks to that. One flying and shining Meggan shows up. Giggling just like she does.
Brian can feel her hands ghostly touching the top of his mask. An amused grin born into his face. " Meggan, are you flying around?"
"That joke is lame, but, is ok, I still love you," she said brightly "you know, me, Kitty and Ray were talking about your mask right now!"
"Oh no, when you girls talk about my outfits it means trouble" Brian jokes putting the logs down and looking at Meggan.
"Don´t be like that, it was one time things, anyway, they were wondering if your mask is indeed a mask or is attached to the outfit," Meggan said looking at Brian who is looking at his right where one Kitty Pryde and one Ray Grey are giggling and waving at him.
"And? What´s the result?" Brian eagerly asked.
"As your girlfriend I said I know the mystery of your mask and as I know you, I didn´t reveal the secret"
"My dear Meggan, I´m very much thankful," he says in a mock of pompous thanks and makes Meggan laughs, now, his tone is more genuine "Have I told you I love you?"
"For keeping your secret mask as a secret? No, not really"
"Then can I show you?"
This is due to Brian and Meggan start to kiss. Kitty and Ray make jokes about the level of hetero in the Excalibur as no one looks at Nightcrawler. Who is supposed to help Alistaire but is looking envious to where Brian is.
____________________________________________
One stormy night, Excalibur can hear Meggan and Brian arguing strongly about the current subject, thanks to Rachel´s power, she captures a signal of Psylocke or is what Brian wants to believe, Rachel does not know for sure if is really her and Meggan wants to be cautious.
"Is my sister, Meggan, I know is she," Brian said with urgency in his voice.
"You said the same thing last time and ended up being a trap, Brian, you often jump to conclusions, what if this is another trap?" and then she asks "why can´t you accept that Betsy may be gone for good?"
"Because, unlike you, I have a sister, Meggan...she is my only family and I refuse to believe she is dead...If you won´t help me, I´ll do it myself" and Brian flies away leaving one angry and sad Meggan behinds.
She looks the man she loves to fly in the vain hope to finally be reunited with his sister.
_______________________________________
Meggan has no news of Brian, Rachel, once again using her powers, said he is fine, well, no one is going to say that Brian won´t find his beloved sister today.
Meggan is only waiting and thinking. She has no sister, that´s true, but, Brian is too stubborn to believe Betsy is dead and gone? (Well, Kitty said the X-men don´t die easily and if they die, they just ressurect...should she blame Kitty? or maybe Betsy will really come back?)
"Meggan?" Kurt said and the woman takes long breathing to pretend to be nice with her least favourite person in the team. "I just want to say that Brian is an idiot for leaving you"
Meggan has her eyes closed and fists too.
"You´re beautiful and no man should ever take that for grant" Kurt reaches her and Meggan can feel lust and envy and she almost throws up, almost.
"Are you fucking serious?" she opens her eyes and Kurt is no longer seeing beautiful Meggan but a downright monster that is not happy with him. "My boyfriend leaves to find his sister and sure enough won´t find her and you are trying to hit on me? How low of man are you?"
Meggan grows in size and stalks Kurt who is no longer feeling lust. "What? thought I would be blue and melting into your arms? Please, take a hard look at yourself before, Nightcrawler" and she adds "you´re ugly"
Kurt is taken back by this and Meggan can sense he is thinking she has a problem with his looks as if everything else Kurt just did was completely fine.
Meggan takes him by his collar and is ready to throw him out of the window. " No, Kurt Wagner, your looks are never the problem, and let me rectify, a monster has more class than you...you´re just a boring straight sexist, chauvinist man" and throws him out of the window.
Of course, that didn´t kill him. And after this Kurt notices how Meggan is being openly hostile with him.
"Very brave of you to wear this not being in the circus anymore"
"Good, you´re wearing pants for once, congratulations"
She only stops when Brian comes back saying that his sister is alive but lost in the dimension along with the other X-men. Rachel uses her powers and Kitty uses her gadgets and now, for once in his life since he lost his sister, there´s a concrete chance of really saving her.
No one bothers to check what Kurt is doing or thinking.
"Leave him be if he wants to act like an entitled white man, let him be," Meggan said as Kitty is working to locate the X-men, only she is worried for his well being and wonders why he is not here, after all, they have a chance of saving the X-men.
____________________________________________
Thanks to Kitty, Rachel, Meggan, Brian and even Nightcrawler. All the X-men are back. Brian finally sees his sister again and hugs her and introduces her to Meggan. Kitty hugs Ororo("Is really you, Ororo?" "Should I ask this? Kitten you are older now") and Rachel is with her parents ("Mom?" "I...will take a while to get used to this, but, is good to see you again, Rachel")
Rogue is there with Nightcrawler and as being the best sister in the world, she asked. "Are you alright?"
"You asked me this? You were the one lost in a different dimension"
"I was fine, I´m Rogue, but you´re Kurt and I can sense you and your new Teammates aren´t getting along...you didn´t do the manslut thing again, right?"
Kurt said nothing and Rogue shake her head at this. " Kurt, what I have to say for you to start to respect a woman?"
"I do respect woman"
"You think you, but, in reality, you are just an intitled white man"
Everyone else is having a great reunion but Kurt.
___________________________________________________________
Excalibur continues with Meggan being hostile with Kurt or ignoring his existence, in one moment, she used Kurt as an improvised weapon against the enemy, well, it was a great tactic that Kurt is not fond.
Kurt can see he is not going to get any friendship with Meggan, who is openly hostile with him, however, why he thought Rachel, of all people, would be more friendly is beyond logic(only the Outer Gods can understand)
"Don´t touch me!" Rachel said as Kurt put his hands on her shoulder far too intimate, in his defence, maybe it was harmless ...for him, but, to Rachel, it wasn´t.
"I was trying to be friendly, you know, you would be prettier if you smile more," he said thinking that is a compliment.
In fact, this really makes the red hair seething. And she calls Meggan to have a chat about one certain Nightcrawler.
"He needs to be taught a lesson!" Rachel said and Meggan agrees. They are a woman and deserve respect.
_______________________________________________
Kurt opens his eyes and all he sees is darkness. Except, he knows he is not alone as voices start to talk with him. "Why don´t you smile? You would be so pretty smiling!"
And suddenly, Kurt is among a huge crowd of people, men, leering at him. Kurt is dressed but the eyes are practically undressing him. "Hey, cutie, where is your boyfriend?" "He does not deserve you, you are too pretty" "Hey, sexy lady, you need a real man in your life"
And Kurt is scared as the eyes, the voices are coming closer and he can only cover himself. Saying to the voices leaving him alone. "Why? this is a compliment, you are so beautiful Kurt Wagner" and Kurt recognizes this voice.
Is Margalia´s voice.
"Think of this way, you are the most handsome man out there, no need to ever want a real personality or flaws, you are pretty, now, come on, smile for me and ...give me a kiss"
"Stop!"
"Now...is not so fun being on the receiving end of your ''flirt''" Rachel asked lighting the place.
"What is this?"
"Your mind and a lesson we give to you," Meggan said appearing in full power "we are not toys for you to seek validation"
And now Kurt takes control of himself and see he is on the centre of the room. Brian and Alistaire are there looking at him and the women, Kurt realizes they aren´t really friends if they let them torture him.
Alysande Stuart and her brother look at the scene and Kitty is there as well.
"You felt uncomfortable there?" Meggan said and Kurt confirms not using nice words.
"Guess what, fuzzy, that´s how you made us feel every time the flirtzilla strikes, we are not objects, we are heroes and we deserve as much respect as you do"
"But..." he wants to say he is a gentleman and that he truly respects a woman when that villain mistreated Meggan he hush to her defence(even though Meggan could defeat the villain herself and his words didn´t hurt her in the slightest, in the end, Kurt just wanted to be a hero and this lead to them being captured)
He looks at Kitty and asks. "Do you think I don´t respect a woman?"
Kitty looks at him for a long and silent minute, until, she takes Alysande´s hand saying she wants to try that sushi now. Kurt watches Katzchen, of all people, leave him.
This really makes him think about his past actions.
Does Kurt want to be the mediocre sexist white man?
Meanwhile, Alysande asks if Kitty is alright. "No, not really, the only thing worse than being harassed by Flirtzila is to like flirtzilla and he never notices it"
Alysande is understanding as she changes the subject of the conversation.
Kurt Wagner is now realizing the problem was never his looks, but, what is inside.
