X2 - how would he know?

in x2 when jean grey was reading nightcrawlers mind in the forest, we saw strykers base and the lab...etc, why would nightcrawler know what strykers base looks like if he hasnt been there or has he?????

Striker used the mind controle drug on him. He was taken to the base for that.

if you take a look at the comic book version of the movie, they have a mini story on that. about kurt's life before he got captured.

I thought all he remembered was that he was in the church doing something. That part when Storm and Jean ask what do you remember before the attack on the president.

yups, thats all NIGHTCRAWLER remembered, but Jean dug deeper, into the subconcious
