A/N: This is a Reader-Insert fanfic, so I'll be using a few abbreviations. Here's a key:
Y/N = Your Name
Avatar = Your codename
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
Was? = What?
Sie loslassen = Let her go
Enjoy! :)

"Y/N!" Kurt screams when you're pulled into the orb. He teleports onto it and bangs on the metal shell, bruising his knuckles. "Sie loslassen!!"
The metal sphere doesn't listen, instead rolling Kurt off before it takes flight. He lands in the sand hard, his breath knocking out of him. Another orb opens and its tentacles shoot out at him. He flinches in anticipation of being snatched, but a hand lands on his shoulder and the tentacles pass harmlessly through him. He looks up to see Kitty, keeping him, Evan, and herself intangible. "Not gonna happen." She says to the orb, sweat beading on her forward.
On her other arm, Evan looses his spikes upon the remaining orbs, only barely denting them. After a minute, the metal contraptions seem to give up and fly away. Kitty releases them with a gasp and Evan shouts after the spheres, "Come back, you cowards!"
But it's too late. Kurt puts his head in his hands, muttering sadly. "Zhey took zhem. Rogue and.. Y/N, she pushed me out of ze vay, she saved me! I couldn't..."
"It's not your fault, bro." Evan says, glaring up at the sky. "It's the Brotherhood."
"Yeah." Kitty agrees once she gets her breath back. "Whatever those things were, the Brotherhood got inside them without hesitating. All except-"
The loud click of a car door opening draws all their eyes to where a sheepish Toad is pulling his tongue free of the X-van. He blinks and laughs nervously at them before bolting.
"Oh no you don't!" Kurt teleports and tackles Toad before he can get far. Toad tries to lash his tongue out, but Kurt grabs and holds it in a vice-like grip. "Spill it, Toad!" He demands angrily, squeezing harder as Toad yelps, "Vhat just happened?! Vhere did ze others go?!"
"Ogay, ogay!!" Toad surrenders as Kitty and Evan circle up behind him, and Kurt releases his hold. The tongue snaps back and hits Toad in the face, knocking him over. "Oof!"
The pallid boy sits up and massages his jaw as the other three glare down at him. "Yeah, I don't owe that crummy Magneto nothin' no more. That's for sure."
"Who?" Kitty asks, and Toad replies sulkily. "Magneto. One major mega-mutant, controls metal and stuff. The one Mystique's been workin' for."
Kurt's eyes widen at mention of his mother, but his gaze quickly hardens. 'Of course, now she's kidnapping my friends.' He thinks bitterly, promising to never forgive her if Y/N and Rogue are hurt.
"Yeah, so, this Magneto guy wanted us to come fight y'all, y'know?" Toad continues, "Beat ya just enough so his stupid metal doohickeys could snatch you up no problem. Promised we'd get a big reward for helping him." The boy starts muttering under his breath, "Jerks just left me. What a load of-"
