A/N: I just noticed I made one tiny mistake in the last chapter that someone just pointed out. Mort is suposed to be a class 4 mutant. Sorry about that. Next time I'll be more careful. Okay, hope you like the chapter.
Chapter Ten
Everyone had headed inside the house. Some kids were running to lock all the doors and windows. Mort took Meltie to the living room, while Kate went to help some of the other kids. Mort watched as all the other kids found things that would help them against this threat. Mort looked back at Meltie who was now sitting on the couch. Mort sat next to him, looking a bit concerned.
"Who is he?" Mort asked.
Meltie looked at everyone else, than looked up at Mort with a small tear in his eye.
"None of these people are safe," Meltie whispered," They will all have to leave. None of them are safe."
Mort looked up at Kate, who had just walked into the living room with the other kids. Everyone sat down on the floor, waiting for orders. Kate looked at Mort, than at the kids.
"Listen," Kate said," I want all of you to go into your rooms and lock your doors. Don't come out until I say so."
The kids quickly stood up and ran to their rooms. The only people left in the living room were Mort, Kate, and Meltie. Kate looked over at Meltie, who was looking at the ground. Mort and Kate stared at Meltie until he looked up at them.
"I told everyone to go to there rooms," Kate said, with a small sigh," That means you have to go to your room too."
Meltie gave a small whine, but quickly ran up to his room and locked his door. Mort looked at Kate, who had been watching Meltie go to his room. She looked at him and sat down. Mort gave a small sigh and looked around. All the windows and doors were locked. Everything was quiet. Kate laid down on the couch, putting her head on Mort's lap, while he ran his hand through her hair.
"Did he say who was coming?" Kate asked, closing her eyes.
"No," Mort said," Just said everyone wos in danger."
Kate gave another sigh, before she fell asleep. Mort looked down at her with a smile. He kept running his hand through her hair. Everything was silent again. Before Mort knew it, he was asleep too.
He woke up in about an hour when he heard the door blow open. He stood up a bit too fast that Kate fell off the couch, which woke her up. Kate stood up and looked around. Some people entered the living room. Mort and Kate were ready to fight, but Mort just gave a small laugh when he noticed it was Magneto.
"Toad," Magneto said, giving a small grin," It's good to see you again. What have you been doing all this time?"
"I've been busy, trying not to die," Mort said.
Kate just stood there and looked at everyone. She didn't know what to do, since she had no idea who these people were.
"I see you have new members," Mort said, looking at them," Wot happened to Mystique?"
"She's human now," Magneto said," Nothing more than a human. So, who is this?"
Mort looked over at Kate, who was just staring at Magneto. Mort looked back at Magneto with a smile on his face.
"Tha' is Kate," Mort said.
Magneto gave a small bow, which Kate returned with a smile.
"This is Callisto, the one who found you," Magneto said, while Callisto step forward.
"Nice to met you," Mort said, giving a small bow.
"Please," Callisto said with a smile," The pleasure is all mine."
Kate rolled her eyes and headed to the door. Mort watched her walk out of the room than quickly followed. The others followed after them.
"Is something wrong?" Magneto asked, watching as Kate looked outside.
"You need to leave," Kate said, turning to look at Magneto," You have to leave now."
"Is something wrong?" Callisto asked, walking toward her," Are you hiding something?"
"Trust me," Kate said, looking at Callisto, who was just a few feet from her," You don't want to be here right now."
Callisto looked at Magneto and walked back over to him. Mort was listening and watching everything that was going on. He had no idea what to do. Magneto was looking at Kate with this expression on his face. Mort couldn't tell what kind of expression it was, but he didn't like it.
"Now I see," Magneto said, giving another small grin.
"Her signature keeps changing," Callisto said," First it was a class 3 mutant, awhile ago it was as if she was human and now it's at a class 4."
"Well," Magneto said, taking a few steps toward her," You are different in a way. You can't control your power. Your human like the rest, but you have this power that comes and goes."
Mort was looking a bit shocked that Magneto would know all of this. He looked at Callisto, who had this evil grin on her face, than he looked at Magneto who had the same expression on his face as before. He looked at Kate last to see that she was looking furious.
"What should we do with her?" Callisto asked, looking at Magneto.
Magneto looked at Callisto for awhile and than looked back at Kate, who was looking at him with hate in her eyes. Magneto gave her a small smile.
"Leave her," Magneto said, turning around," Find all the other mutants and take them with us."
A/N: Well I hope everyone has a happy new years. It sucks that school will be starting back up on Tuesday. Anyway, I hope you like this chapter. I'd write more but it's almost 4 am and I want to go to sleep. Please review.
