Summary
Thousands of mutants suffered abuse at the hands of humans, and Kurt Wagner was no exception. What were the chances of Xavier finding him? Rescuing him? Slim, next to none.
It's no wonder he wasn't rescued, that for his appearance he found himself the greatest entertainment in every underground industry that dragged him into its clutches.
It was a great pity he survived.
It was a greater pity he was found.***
On discovering her son is alive Mystique realises she needs Xavier's help to rescue him. It really is a pity over ten years of abuse and subhuman treatment doesn't leave lighter scars.AU - an amalgamation of different pieces of canon/original ideas, the character designs I'm largely going off are Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon

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.
