Chapter Two
Kathy flew to the top of the school.' Stupid teams,' Kathy thought.
"Why can't I be normal?" Kathy asked.
"Because you are different, sis,'' Steve said as he landed.
" I said I wanted to be alone,'' Kathy snaped
"You will never be alone,'' Steve said, walking over to her.'' I'll always be with you.''
"I know,'' Kathy grined,'' But right now if you don't get away from me. You'll feel five claws in your back.''
"Not if you can't catch me,'' Steve said flying off.
Kathy jumps off the school and flys after him. Luckily no one was around.
"That's not good,'' Scott said,'' They might get caught.''
"And your point is?" Pietro asked.
"That if someone sees them,'' Scott said,'' We will have to explain it and they might find out we are mutants.''
"Look how happy they are,'' Kitty said.
"They are brother and sister,'' Jean said,'' Not boyfriend and girlfriend.''
"Oh,'' Kitty said.
"She is going to join our team,'' Todd said.
"How would you know?" Evan asked.
"Because her brother is on our team,'' Lance said,'' And she wants to be with her brother.''
"So,'' Kurt said,'' She could join our team.''
Steve landed on the ground and hid behind Pietro. Kathy landed.
"Keep her away,'' Steve said.
"What did I do?" Kathy asked.
"My back,'' Steve said,'' You scratched my back.''
Kathy looked at him for awhile, then rolled her eyes.
"So,'' Lance said,'' Have you decided?"
Kathy looked at him, then at Todd, then at Kurt. She looked at the sky deep in thought.' Which team?' Kathy thought,' I want to be with my brother, but the team is mean. The x-men seem nice and Kurt seems like a nice guy, but what about Todd. I talked to him during first hour. He seems nice too. Which team?'
"She is joining our team,'' Pietro said.
Kathy snaped out of her thoughts and looked around. The x-men and brotherhood looked like they were about to fight. Then they began to fight. Kathy stood there watching.' This seems familiar,' Kathy thought,' Now what team?' Some teachers were coming out of the school.' Better break this up.'
"STOP,'' Kathy shouted.
They stoped and looked at her.
"What?" Steve asked.
"The teachers,'' Kathy said.
"So,'' Lance said, as the x-men backed off.'' What team?'
Kathy didn't answer for awhile.' Which team?' Kathy thought.
"I'll join the brotherhood,'' Kathy said.
"Told you, yo,'' Todd said.
The brotherhood walked off with their new member. The x-men stood there for awhile in silence.
"Well,'' Jean said,'' That didn't work. Let go back to the mansion and tell the Professor.''
"How are we all going to fit in the car?" Kitty asked.
"Easy,'' Scott said as they walked to the car.'' Evan, Kurt, Kitty, Gambit, and Rogue in the back. You might need to lap up though.''
Everyone squeezed into the car and Scott drove off. The brotherhood walked down the rode to the brotherhood house.
"This is our home,'' Lance said,'' It may be dirty, but it's better then the streets.''
They went inside. Todd showed Kathy a room that she coulld stay in, then they went into the living room. The other boys were sitting on the couch watching tv. They sat down and watched tv too.
The x-men told the professor everything that happened. Logan and Storm were listening too.
"It seems that this girl is running from something,'' Charles said,'' Just like Steve is running from something, but I don't know what.''
"Maybe we can talk to her,'' Storm sugested,'' This girl seems to be very confused.''
"She is,'' Jean said,'' I was reading her mind. She couldn't decide what team she reallywanted to be on, so she just picked the brotherhood.''
"Storm and Logan,'' Charles said,'' You will talk to this girl. She is at that the mall right now.''
Storm and Logan nodded and left. They drove to the mall and went in. They searched some places, but didn't find her.
"Where do you think she is?" Logan asked.
"How would I know,'' Storm said.
Kathy walked out of the clothing store. She had looked at everything in there and didn't like any of it.' This place needs more fashion,' Kathy thought. Just then someone walked up behind her.
"Hi,'' They said.
Kathy turned around to see Kurt.
"Oh.. Hi,'' Kathy said,'' What are you doing here?"
"Just thought you vould vant to talk to someone,'' Kurt said.
Kathy smiled.' That is so sweet,' Kathy thought.
"So,'' Kathy said,'' Can you show me around this place?'
"Ja,'' Kurt said.
They walked off. Logan and Storm watched as they went up stairs.
"So much for us talking to her,'' Logan said,'' Lets go home.''
"No,'' Storm said,'' We are suposed to watch her, so come on.''
They followed Kurt and Kathy for awhile, until they went into one of the stores. It was filled with lots of candy.
"Should we follow them inside?" Logan asked.
"No,'' Storm said,'' Let them have their fun. We'll stop them when they come out.''
"This is almost the best store in town,'' Kurt said,'' All the chocolete you vant or can buy.''
Kathy tried not to laugh. The place was stocked with candy bars of all sorts, bubble gum, cookies, doughnuts, suckers, and lots more.
"This is nice,'' Kathy said.
They bought some candy and left the store, but they ran into Logan and Storm.
"Hey Kurt,'' Logan said,'' What are you doing here?"
"I'm just talking to Kathy,'' Kurt said.
Kathy looked around.
"We need to go,'' Kathy said,'' All of us need to get out of here.''
The three looked at her, then where she was looking. There were people in red and orange uniforms. They quickly ran out of the mall, got in Storms car and drove off.
"Who are they?" Storm asked.
"They are the mutant squad, they work for my mom,'' Kathy said,'' Can you drop me off at the brotherhood house?"
"No,'' Logan said,'' Chuck needs to talk to you.''
"Then can you pull over, so I can get out?" Kathy asked.
"No,'' Logan said.
"You cannot keep me here,'' Kathy said.
"How are you going to get out?" Storm asked,'' My car doors are locked and can't be opened on the inside.''
Kathy looked at her for awhile.' Well that's stupid,' Kathy thought,' Kurt is a teleporter. I can copy his power.' Kathy looked at Kurt with a smile.
"Vhat?" Kurt asked.
Kathy moved closer to him, then kissed him. Kurts eyes went wide. Logan turned around in the seat.
"No kissing in the car,'' Logan said, turning back around.
Kathy pulled away and moved back to her spot. They had to go passed the brotherhood house to get to the mansion.
"Well,'' Kathy said,'' This has been a nice ride, but this is my stop.''
Logan was about to say something. Kathy teleported out of the car onto the porch of the brotherhood house. Kurt looked at the spot for awhile.' That vas my power,' Kurt thought,' Is that vhy she kissed me? To copy my power or take it?'
Kathy entered the house and went into the living room. She sat down next to Todd.
"Have fun at the mall?" Steve asked, taking the bag that Kathy was carrying away from her.
"What did she get?" Todd asked.
"CANDY,'' Steve shouted running up the stairs into his room and locking the door.
They watched him, then started to watch tv again.
