Disclaimer; I suppose I should refresh everyone's mind on the matter. Ket is mine. Justin is mine. The evil men are mine. Jet is mine. The X-Men you have seen in the movies and cartoons are not mine, though it would be cool if they were.

What are you thinking about the story so far? I don't know, though I'd like to. Please review. Whatever.

Ket looked on in utter disbelief as Rogue stirred, and then screamed when she saw the men looking down at her. They laughed and kicked her again, but Jet bent down and grabbed her by her shoulder.

"Now what kind of mutant do we have here?" He asked, laughing. Rogue, now unable to make a sound, just stared, her eyes wide and mouth gaping. Jet's face grew hard as he grabbed her by her throat. "I said, what kind of mutant are-" Suddenly his face contorted in pain. He started gasping for air as his veins stuck out, but still he was unable to let go. The clearing went quiet for a moment, but then a man jumped forward, kicking Rogue in the stomach and breaking her and Jet's connection.

Rogue whimpered and backed away, staring at Jet, who had collapsed and had several other men bending over him. The man who had kicked her came back over, hitting her in the face.

"Bitch!" he roared. "What the hell did you do to him?" He raised his fist again, but suddenly made a choking sound and collapsed, a four inch blade sticking out the back of his neck. The men looked up from Jet, and Rogues eyes got even bigger. Suddenly Ket was among the men, slitting the throat of one and stabbing another in the chest.

One man reached for a gun, but Ket punched him in the gut, twisted his arm behind his back, and held her turquoise handled knife to his throat, then turned him to face his friends.

"Give me one good reason and I'll slit his throat," Ket growled. The other men reached for their guns, but Ket pressed the knife harder. "Get out of here," she said. The men had no idea of what to do, till Ket's patience ran out.

"GET OUT OF HERE!" She screamed, cutting the man's throat she picked him up[ and hurled him into his friends. The rest bolted into the woods, having no leader and being attacked by a crazy mutant being too much for them. Ket snapped her knife closed and walked over to the man who she had killed with her throwing knife. The teen bent down and grabbed the blade, pulled it out, and wiped it clean on his shirt before putting it back in her pocket. Then she looked at Rogue, who stared speechless at her friend.

"What the hell are you doing back here?" Ket asked, then "Are you ok?" Rogue nodded and stood up. She turned her back to Jet, who was lying unconscious on the ground. She didn't see Ket silently walk over to him and bring down her knife. Ket walked over to her friend.

"Where is Bobbie, and Justin?" Ket asked. "I don't think you would sneak out without them." Rogue shook her head.

"I don't know where they are." She said quietly. Ket noticed Rogue wouldn't look at her, and she knew why.

"Listen," she said. "I should have told you sooner. I didn't think anything close to this would happen. I'm sorry." Rogue turned away. Ket sighed and started walking away. Rogue didn't want to be left in a clearing full of dead men, so she ran to catch up.

"We need to find Bobbie and Justin." Ket said.

"I got separated from them at the school." Rogue replied. "We sneaked out of the jet and they left us, Professor Xavier didn't see. We were looking for you." Ket nodded and they went through the gates of the school. They saw one man run out of the house, but Ket didn't go after him, much to Rogue's relief. She was scared of Ket now, though she knew she probably wouldn't last without her.

Inside the school Ket stopped. Bullet holes were everywhere, and the hallway was trashed. The lights were mostly out, shot up or the power plugs ripped out of the walls. The two teenagers walked down a hall, and then heard voices. Immediately Ket grabbed Rogue and pushed her behind a chair.

"Shh," Ket whispered. Rogue nodded, too afraid to ask questions. Ket closed her eyes to try and hear what the people were talking about. The voices were coming from the kitchen.

"I can't find her anywhere!" someone shouted. "First Ket, now Rogue!" Ket smiled and stood up, helping Rogue to her feet.

"It's Bobbie and Justin," she mouthed. Rogue smiled in relief and the girls crept forward. They heard Justin next.

"Quiet, man, there may be more of those men around." The girls heard a bang.

"Bring them on, I don't care," Bobbie yelled. "They probably have Rogue and Ket, I'm not gonna be quiet until I see those girls again."

"I know how you feel," Justin answered. "But those guys have guns, Bobbie. We can't do Ket and Rogue any good dead." Ket stepped into the kitchen, laughing.

"No, you can't." She said. Rogue followed her, saw Bobbie, and ran over and hugged him, her coat and gloves keeping her skin from touching his. He held her tightly while Ket shook Justin's hand. "Thanks for keeping Bobbie in one piece." She laughed. Justin smiled.

"Thanks for keeping in one piece, and Rogue to." He replied. Ket smiled weakly, and Justin looked concerned. "Tiring adventure?" he asked. Ket looked at the floor and nodded.

"Yeah, tiring adventure." Ket said, looking sadly at Rogue.
