Chapter Eight
Kathy slowly walked down the road. She walked for about five minutes before stopping.
"Five, four, three, two, one,'' Kathy said.
Just then a motorcycle pulled in front of her. Logan got off and walked over to her.
"Where are you going?" Logan asked.
"I'm leaving,'' Kathy said,'' It won't take long for them to know where I am, if I stay with you.''
"Don't worry,'' Logan whispered,'' I promise that I'll take care of you.''
Kathy looked at him for a second. He took her bag and put it on the motorcycle. Kathy began to walk over to the motorcycle. Just then a van pulled up. About twenty men jumped out. Logan quickly let his claws out, so did Kathy. The fight lasted about ten minutes. The twenty men were dead. Kathy had a cut in her shirt.
"I thought you said they were strong,' Logan said putting his claws away.
"Must be new,'' Kathy said,'' Lets go.''
They got on the motorcycle and drove back to the mansion. They parked and went inside.
"What happened?" Scott asked as they walked into the living room.
"We were attacked,'' Logan said,'' But we're fine.''
"Okay,'' Charles said,'' They know where you are. We need to seal the place. Jean do that.''
Jean nodded and quickly ran out of the room. A minutes later metal bars came down and blocked the windows and the doors.
"Done,'' Jean said.
"No one can come in or out,'' Charles said,'' We'll stay here for a few days.''
"What about us?" Lance asked.
Lance, Pietro, Todd, Fred, and Steve were with them. Everyone looked at them, then back at Charles.
"You'll need to stay here too,'' Charles said,'' You don't want them to get you? You'll just have to deal with it, and no fighting.''
"I don't think Emily is just after Kathy,'' Steve said and everyone looked at him.'' She probably thinks Kathy gots something of hers.''
"Steve,'' Kathy said,'' I can't believe you. You took it, when I told you not to?"
"Sorry sis,'' Steve said,'' I couldn't help it.''
"Wait,'' Logan said,'' He's your brother?"
"Half brother,'' Kathy said,'' I can't believe he took it.''
"Took what?" Scott asked.
"A very important part of a machine of hers,'' Kathy said,'' I stil don't know what the machine does.''
"What's his power?" Logan asked.
"I have a healing factor,'' Steve said,'' Just like Kathy, I can fly, and I can melt things.''
"Nice,'' Logan muttered.
"And my skin is red,'' Steve added taking off his image inducer.
"You're related?" Todd asked looking from Kathy to Steve.
"Yes,'' Steve said,'' I'm Steve Black. You never asked me for my last name. I would of told you.''
"His father is some other mutant named Chad,'' Kathy said,'' He is dead.''
"Okay,'' Charles said,'' Now that we know that. Lets go have some dinner. Storm and Kitty have prepared a nice meal.''
"I'm not hungry,'' Kathy said.
"Me either,'' Steve said,'' I need to spend more time with you.''
Steve put his arm around Kathy, who rolled her eyes. Then Kathy smiled. Her eyes glowed blue, then went back to normal. Everyone watched what she was doing.
"OW,'' Steve screamed jumping up and down,'' My shoes. There hot.''
He quickly removed his hand from around Kathy. His shoes were melted and stuck to the floor. He looked at Kathy, then down at his shoes. He quickly pulled his feet out of his shoes.
"Okay,'' Steve said,'' You want to fight, then fight.''
"Not here,'' Charles quickly said,'' Logan, why don't you show them the danger room?"
Logan nodded and led them to the danger room. Everyone else went into the kitchen to eat. Logan told them everything about the danger room, then left them. Kathy and Steve quckly started fighting. Steve had claws just like Kathy.
"Crazy,'' Logan muttered as he walked into the kitchen and sat down.
"Don't worry Logan,'' Charles said,'' They both have had good training in fighting for nearly five years. It seems like Emily was trying to build an army, but what for?"
"Maybe she's a mutant,'' Kitty said,'' And she wants to wipe out the whole world. That would explain why she and everyone else survived.''
"But she ain't,'' Charles said,'' I would of picked her up on cerebro and if she was then everyone in town would have to be mutants.''
"So,'' Scott said,'' What are we going to do?"
"We need to get the thing that Steve took,'' Charles said,'' It's in the brotherhood house. We'll go there tomorrow and get it and come straight back here.''
Everyone agreed. When they were done, they went ot watch the fight. Kathy was climbing the wall and Steve was slying around.
"Hey,'' Todd said,'' That's my power.''
"Oh,'' Kurt said,'' Shut up.''
The fight continued. Kathy jumped down from the roof and nearly landed on Steve. She quickly tripped him, but he just flow back up.
"You're getting faster little bro,'' Kathy said before jumpping up and kicking him in the stomach.
Steve hit the other wall, but stayed in the air. They didn't seem to notice that there was people watching them. Steve flow down, grabed Kathys arm and lifted her in the air. She phased through his hand and hit the ground. She laied there for awhile.
"You okay?" Steve asked landing next to her.
Kathy looked at him with a smile on her face, before she triped him. He hit the ground. Kathy was back on her feet.
"What's rule three?" Kathy asked.
"When fighting an enemy,'' Steve said standing up,'' Don't ask them if they are alright.''
"Good job,'' Charles said and they looked up.'' I'm going to turn on the danger room. You'll start at level 12.''
