Well, I got one vote and I thank them for that though I can't base the
whole future of the story on one vote, so you better tell me whether Ket
should be with the X Men or join Magneto. Remember, no more votes will be
counted after the 15th of July, so vote now. Also, review, review,
review!!!
Oh yes, some of you may remember a code-name I gave Ket. I didn't mean to, it belongs in another story and you should know

Ket opened her eyes with a massive headache and a stomachache. She looked around and realized she was in a plane or something, and that Pyro was sitting right across from her, smiling.
"Where am I?" she groaned, Pyro laughed.
"You're with your friends, that's where you are," he replied. Ket closed her eyes again and held her head.
"My friends are back at the mansion," she mumbled. Suddenly Scott's head shot through a curtain separating the cock pit from the passenger seats.
"You sure about that?" he asked, grinning. Ket jumped, much to Pyro's amusement.
"Scott!?" she cried. Her mentor laughed, and then started to melt into the face of a blue woman with spiky skin, her red hair slick and straight.
"This is Mystique, the wonderful sister I told you about," Pyro explained. Ket glared at Mystique, who vanished again. Pyro continued. "The X kids paid a visit, dropped off your knife I think." Ket reached into her pocket and pulled out her blue handled blade. Ket frowned.
"I don't want to be here." She said.
"Excuse me?"
"Put the helicopter down, I want to go loner." It wasn't exactly a lie, but Ket wasn't going to tell him she was planning on getting back to the school. There was no way in hell he'd let her do that.
"I'm sorry, Ket. You're a part of the brotherhood now, and we need you."

Rogue, Bobbie, and the Professor looked down at the driveway as Logan got out. They saw the Canadian grab Scott from the other seat and carry him inside, followed by Justin. Storm ran to meet the mutants and immediately helped Logan take Scott to the medical bay. Justin came up to the professor to make his report, but as soon as he got up there Rogue grabbed his and Bobbie's arms and pulled them down the hall.
"This is a story to be told over cups of hot chocolate," she said. The Professor smiled as he watched them go, knowing that neither boy felt like drinking anything but would go along with it anyway. Then he too left, deciding the best thing he could do was to try and find Ket or one of Magneto's people. He headed to Cerebro.
Rogue handed Justin and Bobbie cups of hot chocolate, then looked straight at Justin.
"Alright, what happened?" she asked. He looked down.
"we found Ket at the bar, drunk. We tried to get her to come here, but by the car Pyro attacked us. Mystique showed up with a helicopter after Pyro blew Scott and Logan back, and they left with Ket."
"And she has her knife?" Bobbie asked. Justin nodded, starring at the cup in his hands. His friends exchanged looks and sighed.
"The professor will find her," Rogue said determinedly. "Then we'll go and bring her back."
Downstairs Scott was waking up slowly, groaning as he tried to roll over on his burnt shoulder. Storm gently pushed him back into a laying position, then began to wrap the burns. Then Scott remembered what had taken place. He jumped up with a yell.
"Ket! Where is she?" Storm backed up, then pushed him back.
"Don't worry, the professor is looking for her now. Lye back, you need some bandages on these burns." She finished bandaging the burns and Scott jumped up again.
"I need to see the professor, now." He said, marching out of he medical bay. Logan looked in when he left.
"Scooter's in a hurry," he said. Storm sighed and put away the bandages.
"He has a lot on his mind," she replied. "At least when Ket was in prison he knew where she was."
Later the professor sent for the X Men and Rogue, Bobbie, and Justin.
"I have located her," he said. Scott jumped up, but the professor raised a hand. "She is with Magneto and his men, so we will need to be careful. I want all of you to go, the Juniors too." Everyone nodded and got up, leaving for the jet.

"Your name?"
"Ket."
Magneto laughed. "No, your real name, child." Ket glared at him.
"I ain't your child and Ket is my one and only name, so forget the idea I have any other." She spat. Pyro laughed, and Ket glared at him.
Magneto was impressed, the new kid was as tough as Pyro had said she was. The only problem he could see was being able to control her and keep her respect. He had shown her his powers with a large 16-wheeler, twisting it into a huge metal ball that weighed about a ton. She had shown him hers, naming all of his mutants and what their powers were, then lifting the ball of metal and throwing it at Pyro when he made a snide remark. Magneto had been able to stop the ball before it crushed Pyro, but was very pleased with Ket's mutation. He had told her all about the Brotherhood of Mutants, and she had seemed somewhat interested. That seemed an accomplishment with this girl.
They had been there only three hours, questioning a stubborn Ket, when they were suddenly enveloped in a thick fog. Magneto cursed, but Ket, much to her own surprise, felt both relief and anger rush through her. She wasn't at all sure on whether the X Men were all they seemed, and she agreed with some of Magneto's views.
Suddenly she heard Scott's voice. The fog cleared, reveling Scott, Logan, Storm, Kurt, Bobbie, Rogue, and Justin all standing about ten yards from Ket. Magneto, Pyro, and Mystique were only three yards away on Ket's other side, and she looked back and fourth for a moment.
"Ket!" Scott called again. "Come here, hurry!" She gave him a blank stare while Magneto laughed.
"I don't think so, my brother," he announced. "Ket is with us now, so you might as well leave while you have the chance." Logan growled, but Magneto raised his hand, and the Canadian suddenly found he was unable to move at all.
Justin, Rogue, and Bobbie were looking from Ket to Magneto. Rogue caught Ket's eye, and for a brief moment they looked at each other, until Ket looked away. Scott froze for a moment, then started to say something, but was cut off by Bobbie.
"Why do you get to decide?" he asked. Magneto and Scott glared at him, but he just looked at Ket. "It's her decision, let her choose!" All eyes turned to Ket, who glared at everyone back. After a moment's silence Magneto spoke.
"Fine then, she can choose. The X Men, or the Brotherhood." He looked at Scott.
"Alright," he said at last. "Ket? Who are you going with?"
