Summary
"He's just like-"
“Like you were, when you first came here?” Xavier’s gaze was far too piercing. It sliced Logan to the bone, and he could feel his skin prickle where phantom blades cut through it.
“Exactly,” Logan growled, refusing to let Xavier see just how much that bothered him. “That’s why the kid’s dangerous.”
“That’s why he needs help,” Xavier pressed gently, as if he was chiding Logan for his hostility. “And that is why you are the best equipped to help him.”
__________________________
In which Logan accidentally volunteers to help babysit the latest addition to the Xavier Institute, a strange new student that was quite literally left on their doorstep. However, this student isn't quite a "student" at all; it is a weapon left without a handler. Unfortunately, the new mutant now thinks Logan is his handler. Even more unfortunately, Logan knows more about this situation than he would like to.AKA an AU that embellishes on the fact that Kurt was being used as a weapon by Stryker at the beginning of X2, turning the situation into a recovery scenario that ends up helping both Kurt and Logan overcome their Weapon X conditioning.

Summary
There are alot of things about Logan that it’s thankful for. How generous he is with clothes, showers, praise. How he doesn’t hit or call it names. He brings it food.
Being made to speak was not something it was thankful for. It was… painful. Uncomfortable. Speaking was a human privilege, and more than that, it was a weapon to be used against Nightcrawler. It should only listen to commands and feedback, and it should only respond when absolutely, utterly necessary. Its handler constantly prompting for verbal feedback made it feel as though Logan were trying to make it *comfortable* with speaking.
And that was simply an impossible idea. A mutt finding comfort in the boot that kicks it? A horse wielding the whip that cuts it? Animals - weapons - weren’t meant to wield - much less *enjoy* - such things.
Nightcrawler surely didn’t.
Though, it thinks, maybe that was the point. Something sparks in its chest.
