Chapter Three
"So you're from Canada?" Jean asked.
"Ja, it was very nice there,'' Kathy said.
"Why did you move?" Gambit asked.
"Because of my mad scientist of a mother,'' Kathy said.
"What does your mom do?" Kitty asked.
"She experiments on stuff,'' Kathy said.
"Like what stuff?" Kitty asked.
"Different kinds of stuff,'' Kathy said.
"Did she experiment on mutants?" Evan asked. Kurt, Kitty, Scott, Rogue, Jean, and Gambit stared at Evan." What? Just wondering.''
"Why would you care?" Kathy asked.
"No reason, he just wants to know,'' Someone from behind them said.They turned around to see Pietro. " If her mom does that, it would be bad for mutants.''
"What do you want?" Scott asked.
"Nothing, just thought I'd bother you,'' Pietro said,'' So does your mom experiment on mutants, because if she does then you might want to get away from this table.''
Kathy didn't say anything, just got up and left.
"Kathy" Kurt called running after her. Kathy was at her locker when Kurt caught up. "Are you okay?"
"Ja, I'm fine,'' Kathy said closing her locker.
"Don't vorry about that boy,'' Kurt said putting his hand on Kathy's shoulder,'' He picks on everyone he doesn't like, or that tease his friends.''
"I'm fine really,'' Kathy said as the bell rang,''Well we better get to class.''
They went to their next class. The rest of the day went by fine. Kathy left before Kurt could say goodbye. Kurt met up with Kitty, Gambit, Rogue, and Evan.
"How was Kathy?" Kitty asked.
"Fine,'' Kurt said as the van pulled up.
They got in the van and left.
A Week Later: Saturday: 2:00
"What a nice veek,'' Kurt said as he and Kathy walked around outside.
"Thanks for showing me around,'' Kathy said.
"It's nothing,'' Kurt said,'' Do you vant to go to the mall?"
"Ja,'' Kathy said.
They headed for the mall. It took them ten minutes to get there. The place was not that crowed. They spent five minutes looking at the new magazines. They went into one of the stores, but to their luck the brotherhood was there.
"Great,'' Kurt muttered as the brotherhood spoted them and started to walk over to them.
"Well look who it is,'' Lance said,'' The elf and the mutant killer.''
"I'm not a mutant killer,'' Kathy said.
"Why are you stil hanging out with her, yo?" Todd asked turning to Kurt.
"She my friend,'' Kurt said,'' It doesn't matter what her mother does. Look at my mother.''
"Ya,'' Pietro said,'' Your mom tried to kill you, but she stil loves you.''
"Whatever,'' Kathy muttered,'' Come on Kurt, lets go.''
"You haven't told her yet,'' Lance yelled as Kurt and Kathy left.
Kurt and Kathy went to another store. They were quiet the whole time they were there. They only spent five minutes in the store. They were in the middle of the mall.
"Having fun?" Kurt asked.
"Being called mutant killer,'' Kathy muttered,'' Ja, it's okay.''
But something stoped Kathy from walking any further.
"The machine saids she's here,'' A man with blonde hair said,'' Spread out find her. Block the exists as well. There's no way we can let her go. Emily will be very happy when we get her.''
Kathy looked over to them. There were over twenty men. They all walked off in different directions.' Great, the mutant squad,' Kathy thought.
"You okay?" Kurt asked,'' You've been standing there for five minutes.''
"Uh...sorry,'' Kathy said,'' We better go.''
"Vhy?" Kurt asked as they began to walk to the exist.
"Something I remembered,'' Kathy whispered.
Kathy looked at the exist. It was blocked.' Great, I had to change into my normal form,' Kathy thought,' They know what I look like.'
"Is there any other exists?" Kathy asked as she stopped Kurt from walking any further.
"No,'' Kurt said,'' Vhy?"
'Better tell him the truth,' Kathy thought.'' See those guys in the red uniforms?"
"Ja.'
"They work for my mom. The mutant capture squad. If they spot me they'll take me away. They might even take you,'' Kathy whispered.
"The roof has a later, ve can climb down it.''
They turned around and walked up some stairs to the second floor, but there was a guard blocking the door.
"Found her,'' Kathy heard one of the gaurds say.
"We better run,'' Kathy said.
The two started running. A few gaurds chased them.' I must us my power,' Kurt thought,' Or ve von't get out of here.'
"Run into this store,'' Kathy hissed.
They ran into one of the stores with so many stacks of clothes. They hid behind a stack of clothes as three guards ran passed them.' Better do it now,' Kurt thought. Kurt wrapped his arms around Kathy and teleported to the school. He let go of Kathy.
"I feel light headed,'' Kathy said,'' That was fun. Lets do it again.''
Kurt was a little shocked that Kathy didn't mind.
"No,'' Kurt said,'' It really ain't a good idea. I know vhere we can go.''
Kurt and Kathy walked down the street. It was going to be a long walk. They walked about a mile without saying anything.
"Where are we going?" Kathy asked.
"To vhere I live,'' Kurt said,'' Very nice. I'll show you around there.''
"Who lives there besides you?"
"Jean, Scott, Kitty, Bobby, Logan, Evan, Rogue, Gambit, and nearly all of my other friends.''
They were silent for awhile. They only had about five more miles to walk. They walked one more mile in silence.
"Why can't we just teleport there?"
"I can only teleport three miles.''
"Then why can't we teleport three miles there?''
"Fine.''
Kurt wrapped his arms around Kathy again and teleported about three miles from where they were.' Thank gott, I know vhat the road looks like,' Kurt thought. Kurt let Kathy go and they started walking in silence. They only had a mile to go.
"There it is.''
Kurt pointed to the mansion. They walked to the gate. Kurt pressed the button and they walked in. They went inside.
"Who is this elf?" Logan asked.
"My friend,'' Kurt said,'' Kathy.''
"Elf may I have a word with you?" Logan asked.
Kurt nodded and followed Logan into the next room, leaving Kathy in the hall.
"Vhat?" Kurt asked.
"You know the rules elf,'' Logan said,'' No humans can be in here. What if she finds out about us?"
"She already know that I'm a mutant,'' Kurt said,'' She has know vhere else to go. Her mother is after her.''
"Why?''
"Because she ran away. She told me she didn't like what her mother was doing. Her mother experiments on mutants. Half of them die.''
"If her mom finds out she's her, then what?"
'Logan, Kurt come to my office now,' The Professor called them.
Logan and Kurt left the room and went to the office. When they entered they saw Kathy sitting in a chair. Scott, Jean, and Storm were standing by the Charles. Kurt sat down next to Kathy, while Logan went over to Jean, Scott, and Storm.
"Now that we are all here,'' Charles said,'' I'm sending you on a mission.''
"What kind of mission?" Storm asked,'' And why is she coming?"
"Because she knows the place best,'' Charles said,'' You are going to free the mutants from her mothers experiment labs.''
"There under lock and key, and each part has nearly twenty guards,'' Kathy said,'' It took me nearly a year to plan an escape.''
"It will be hard to get in,'' Charles said,'' But you can go around and copy some powers.''
Everyone stared at Kathy, who said,'' I don't copy powers without permission from the person.''
"Fine, you leave tommorrow.'' Everyone was about to leave the office,'' By the way, how did you make that image inducer to look like a normal bracelet?"
"I didn't make it,'' Kathy said.
Charles nodded and everyone left the office. Kurt led Kathy to the backyard. He took off his image inducer and looked at Kathy.
"I vant to see,'' Kurt said.
Kathy took off her bracelet. She looked at Kurt, who looked shocked. Kathy had blue skin. 'Ve have more in common then I thought,' Kurt thought,' Ve both can't go out in public without an image inducer.'
"Okay, you said you would show me around,'' Kathy said.
Kurt smiled and showed Kathy around the backyard. It took nearly a half hour to show, then the house took an hour. Kurt kept thinking about how Kathys childhood was. He wanted to ask a question, but he knew the answer. He showed Kathy a guest room and went to his own room. It took him awhile to get to sleep, thinking of what tommorrow was going to be like.
