A/N: I'm trying to get Morts accent right, but it is kind of harder then I thought. Kurt and Gambits accents are easy, why can't his be? Oh well, we can't all have it easy.

Morts thoughts are like this

Kates thoughts are like this

Chapter Two

Mort slowly opened his eyes. He had know idea when he had fallen asleep, but he looked around the room to see that it was empty. He tried to sit up, but failed. Falling back into his old position with a bit of pain. He closed his eyes, but didn't fall asleep.

Stupid weather witch. I can hardly move anything. My tongue 'urts. I thought tha' girl said it would be better by tomorrow? She must of been wrong. I knew it. Just another stupid girl, looking to help me. Well, I don't need any help.

Just then the door opened and in walked Kate. She was carrying a plate with some sandwiches on it. She sat it down on the table and looked over Mort, who quickly opened his eyes.

"I see you are awake," Kate said," You've been out for almost a week."

Mort was too shocked that he didn't hear her. She had dark blue hair, with some light green tips. She had normal looking skin with green eyes.

Tha' is not wot I expected. I thought she would look more like a mutant.

"I've made you some sandwiches," Kate said, looking away from him.

"I-" Mort started, but quickly shut up when his tongue started hurting again.

"Don't talk," Kate said," You haven't eaten or drank anything, which is making your tongue hurt. So just eat the sandwiches and I'll get you a glass of water."

Kate walked out of the room, but made sure that Mort was eating a sandwich before she left. She walked up the stairs to her kitchen.

Poor guy, he doesn't know what to do. He looked too shocked at the way I looked. I should of been shocked at the way he looked. This day is getting crazy. First that mutant boy named Life ranaway just as his parents were coming to get him- best get a big glass of water- his parents were not happy at all. Calling the police was not very nice. I helped him control his power, so why did he runaway? It seems- better not run into the door again.

Kate walked into the room again with a glass of water. Mort had finished his second sandwich, but didn't seem to want to eat anymore. Kate handed him the water and backed away as he began to drink some.

My tongue feels better. Guess she was right. Can't deny tha'. Wonder wot her power is. Must be something cool. Wonder if I'll get to seem it before I leave.

Mort sat the empty glass on the table and looked at the ceiling. Kate looked at him for awhile, before taking the glass off the table.

"Do you want some more?" Kate asked.

Mort looked at Kate and shook his head. Kate nodded and went to put the glass back in the kitchen. Mort watched her open the door and noticed there were some stairs.

I must be in th' basement. No wonder, if she has a family then there is no way she would want them to see me. Then who did she get me down here? Must be another door or something.

Kate came back down the stairs, but had nothing in her hands. Mort looked back up at the ceiling. Kate looked at him and shook her head.

"When-" Mort started, but his throat hurt alittle.

"You should wait until tomorrow to talk," Kate said," By then you should be feeling way better."

Mort gave a small moan, which made Kate tilt her head to the side.

I want to go now. Why can't she see tha'? I she doing this to get something? I'll never understand how this works.

"Your wounds have healed up," Kate said," But are not that healed. You have a few broken ribs, so you'll need to be very careful."

Mort rolled his eyes, which made Kate shack her head as if this was pointless. Kate walked out of the room without saying anything else. Mort decided to go back to sleep, thought the day would go by alot faster if he just went back to sleep, but it didn't. He woke up about five hours later. He looked around and the first thing he noticed that the lights were off.

She must of turned them off. Lucky for me i can see very good in th' dark. Th' room looks different. Why does th' room look different? There is a window and it's night. Wos there a window before? I must be losing my mind.

Just then the lights turned on. Mort closed his eyes, since he was getting used to the dark. He opened his eyes when he knew the light wouldn't hurt them anymore. He looked around and noticed that a boy had turned on the light. He looked the boy up and down. The boy had a yellowish kind of skin, but had blood red hair with blood red eyes.

"Who are you?" The boy nearly yelled.

Kate walked into the room and put a hand on the boys shoulder, causing him to jump. The boy looked up at Kate with a small smile, then a tear ran down his face.

"Come on Life," Kate said," Lets get you into your new room. He is using this room right now."

Kate looked at Mort, but then looked at Life. Mort watched as Kate and Life walked out of the door and Kate close it.

Wot wos tha' all about? Life wos his name? Wot kind of name is tha'? This place must be a place for people with odd names.

Kate came back in the room. Mort looked over at her to see that she was smiling.

"That was Life," Kate said," A boy that was living on the street. I took him in, but then found out who his parents were, so I called them. He found out and ranaway before they got here. He is back now and told me he doesn't want to go back to his family. Life has the power to take peoples lives away from them, but not forever."

Mort looked confused, which Kate saw right away. She gave a small laugh.

"He can touch someone and they pass out," Kate said," He can change into that person and will have all the memories of that one person, but he will also have his own. It only last about a few hours."

Mort nodded his head, which caused Kate to give a small smile. Mort took a few deep breathes.

"Wot power...do you have?" Mort asked, taking a couple more deep breathes.

"You shouldn't talk," Kate said, then looked away from Mort." I'm not a mutant. I'm a normal person. My hair is dyed because I thought it would looked cool."

Mort looked very shocked at this news, so he turned away from her. Kate gave a small sigh and was about to leave the room.

"Do you want the light turned off?" Kate asked," Since it's the middle of the night."

Mort nodded his head, but didn't look back at Kate, who turned off the light and went to her own room.

She's normal. I can't believe tha'. How can she be normal? No normal person would help mutants. Magneto said there were no normals tha' would. Maybe he was wrong. Maybe some normals do help out mutants.
