Apparently it had been dark enough to activate his invisibility power. Handy then, less so now. He could hear that she was trying to smooth things over and make the transition easier but there really wasn't any way to prove that.<br/><br/>Thank goodness he had the good sense to at least put away the dagger first. He steps out slowly, hands open, swords visible but away, and head down a little if smiling to try and show he didn't mean any harm.<br/><br/>Well, the good news was that he didn't give any of them heart attacks. Nope, the cardiac health of all the normal humans in the area was just fine. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for the trigger discipline. Later, he wouldn't blame the police officer for it at all. Before the Apocalypse, the worst he had to deal with was traffic tickets and the occasional drunk, the closest he's ever been to anything like a superhero was the time Tony Stark visited the resort.<br/><br/>Going from "was somewhere in roughly to the same vicinity of Tony Stark once" to "mutant supervillain ends the world, demonic looking mutant superhero shows up" was a bit much for the guy, and he immediately pulls his piece to open fire. Years of training as an acrobat and X-Men piece together what was going on before he was even consciously aware of it.<br/><br/>Gun rising to be leveled, Kurt shifts his weight to the balls of his feet.<br/>Gun leveled, Kurt jumps backwards.<br/>Gun barks its first bullet, the backflip toward the dumpster for cover leads to the shot going wide.<br/>Gun ejects the first shell, Kurt's hands start moving in together for what they'll do when the come in  contact with the lid of a dumpster.<br/>Gun barks its second bullet, this one would of hit him if he had stood still but his weight is moving quickly backwards and getting ready to go around the dumpster for . . .<br/><br/>"<strong>&lt;HOLD YOUR FIRE! WHO TOLD YOU TO SHOT?&gt;</strong>" the lead soldier demands in Arabic.<br/><br/>"<strong>&lt;But. . .Monster.&gt;</strong>" comes a meek reply in Arabic as well.<br/><br/>"<strong>&lt;Uniform! X-Men! Like Storm!&gt;</strong>" is the response, the word X-Men coming in clear as day even to the non-arabic speakers, "<strong>Sir! Do you need help?</strong>"<br/><br/>"<strong>Yeah, I'm fine.</strong>" Kurt calls back from behind the dumpster, checking. Looks like two misses. The Uniform supposedly can stop bullets anyway, but Kurt wasn't in any rush to check it.<br/><br/>"<strong>Um, Sorry.</strong>" the Policeman tries to offer, not really meaning it but figuring there should be a reason he was stopped from firing. Whether or not the X-Men were heroes or terrorists was a discussion he's had before, and not well. Kurt tries again. Stepping out - hands open, smile not showing teeth, a little bowed to show a bit of respect. This time, no shots are fired.<br/><br/>"<strong>Apology accepted,</strong>" he says cheerfully, if he can see the man's face. Ah well, no point in worrying about details at present.<br/><br/>"<strong>You keep unusual company, Sword of Port Said.</strong>" the Army Driver does speak, if indirectly, "<strong>He is very agile, though.</strong>"<br/><br/>"<strong>Before joining the X-Men, I was an Acrobat and Artist on the Trapeze in the Circus Bavaria as the Incredible Nightcrawler!</strong>" he introduces himself with a deeper bow and a joke, "<strong>Shows every Day, Twice on Sundays.</strong>"
