Chapter Five
One month later
Todd didn't come around for about a week, which made some people happy. They had fixed the danger room and were now practicing. Kathy watched from the control room. Charles was with her. Will had been really good about joinning the team. He had talked to Kathy and they were friends again.
Then everyone found out that Kathy had been cutting herself, which was stupid because the cut would heal in a few seconds. Kathy had found away around her healing factor, which stil shocked the professor. Now someone always watched her. Kurt had been really mad the last few days and he beat up Bobby, just because he said what do you think the brotherhood is doing? Now Bobby was in the infirmary with a broken arm. Kurt wouldn't speak to anyone, not even Kathy.
"They are becoming better every day,'' Charles said,'' They will be ready for anything.''
"Like the mutant squads that come here every week?" Kathy asked.
"I've put up more alarms,'' Charles said,'' Don't worry about it. They haven't come by for two weeks.''
About an hour later they were done training.
"I want to see everyone in my office,'' Charles said.
Everyone headed to Charles office.
"Now,'' Charles said when everyone was there.'' I have a mission for you. Kathy, Kurt, and Jean are staying here. Everyone else is going with me.''
Everyone; except Kurt, Kathy, and Jean, left the office. They stood there for about five minutes. They head the jet take off.
"So,'' Jean said,'' What should we do?"
Just then they heard a knock on the door. Jean went to get it. She was shocked at who it was. The brotherhood.
"What do you want?" Jean asked.
"Are place was attacked,'' Todd said,'' They destroyed it. We need a place to stay.''
"I really don't think Kathy or Kurt would like that.''' Jean said,'' Right now, Kurt wants to kill someone, and Kathy is an inch from suicide.''
"What are you talking about?" Steve asked.
"Kathy cuts herself and Kurt beat up Bobby,'' Jean said,'' I really don't think you want to mess with them.''
"Anything else?" Pietro asked.
"Ya,'' Jean said,'' Kathy is in therapy with the professor and Kurt is getting some anger management classes from Logan.''
"Anger management,'' Todd said,'' That's a laugh.''
"And he won't speak,'' Jean added.
"Wait,'' Lance said,'' I thought Kathy had a healing factor, so why does she cut herself?"
"She found away around it,'' Jean said,'' We were lucky to find out.''
"Can we come in?" Steve asked,'' It's winter and almost Christmas.''
"As long as no one sees you,'' Jean said.
Jean led them to the kitchen. Kathy and Kurt were in the living room.
"How did you find out?" Todd asked.
"It was about a week ago,'' Jean said.
Flashback
Kathy walked down the hall. Jean walked passed her.
"You've changed your clothes,'' Jean said,'' It's so hot in here. Why are you wearing a long sleved shirt?"
"Because I can,'' Kathy said and walked away.
Later that day.
"That was good Kitty,'' Scott said,'' Those cooking classes sure did work.''
"Kathy,'' Kitty said,'' Would you help me wash the dishes?"
"Sure,'' Kathy said.
Everyone else went into the living room. Kathy put some dishes in the sink.
"You can't wash dishes with long sleves,'' Kitty said.
Kathy rolled up her sleves and they began to wash some dishes. Kathy was handing Kitty a plate. Kitty gasped at the cuts on Kathys arm.
"Oh my god,'' Kitty whispered.
Kathy droped the dish back in the sink and pulled down her sleves.
"It's not what it looks like,'' Kathy said.
Kitty ran out of the kitchen and into the living room.
"Kathy has been cutting herself,'' Kitty yelled and everyone looked at her.
Everyone got up and went into the kitchen where Kathy was.
"Kathy,'' Charles said,'' Kitty tells us you've been cutting yourself. Is it true?"
"Of course not,'' Kathy said,'' I have a healing factor, so how can I cut myself?"
Charles read her mind. Kathy had not been able to block her mind that good.
"Let me see your arms,'' Charles said.
"No,'' Kathy whispered.
Logan walked over to her, grabed her arm, which mad Kathy scream. Logan let go and looked at his hand, which had some blood on. He looked at Kathy, who was holding her arm.
"Take her to the infirmary,'' Logan said.
Jean and Storm led Kathy to the infirmary. Kurt followed.
"Vhy have you been doing this?" Kurt asked.
Kathy didn't answer. A tear ran down her face. She sat on the table when they got into the infirmary. Storm rolled up her sleves. She had cuts all over her arms. Storm and Jean started to clean some of the cuts and wrap them up. Logan and Scott came in. They put razers, knives, and other things down on the table.
"All the things we found in the room,'' Scott said.
Charles wheeled in.
"From now on someone is going to watch you every minute of every day,'' Charles said.
End of flashback
"Nice story,'' Pietro said,'' And what happened to Bobby?"
"Well, it was after we found out about Kathy,'' Jean said.
flashback
Kurt was in the kitchen. Bobby came in a minute later.
"Hey, Kurt,'' Bobby said,'' How are you doing?"
"Fine,'' Kurt muttered.
"What do you think the brotherhood is doing?" Bobby asked.
Kurt clenched his fists and didn't answer.
"Did you hear me?" Bobby asked.
"I heard you,'' Kurt snarled,'' But I hate them.''
"Calm down,'' Bobby said.
Kurt turned to Bobby and punched him.
"Don't tell me to calm down,'' Kurt yelled.
Bobby grabed Kurts arm.
"You need to calm down,'' Bobby said.
Kurt kicked Bobby and bent his arm. You could hear the bone break, but Kurt didn't stop there. He punched him a few times in the face and the stomach. Logan came in and quickly pulled Kurt away.
"HELP,'' Logan shouted.
Everyone came in. Storm and Jean ran Bobby to the infirmary. Logan tied Kurt down to a chair. He struggled to get out and shouted outing in german.
"Kurt,'' Charles said,'' Please, calm down.''
"NO,'' Kurt shouted,'' I'M GOING TO KILL BOBBY.''
''Why?" Scott asked.
"He said the brotherhood and I hate the brotherhood,'' Kurt yelled.
"If you don't calm down,'' Charles said,'' You will need to take anger management classes with Logan.''
"LET ME OUT OF HERE,'' Kurt shouted,'' I NEED TO KILL HIM.''
"Who?" Jean asked.
"TODD,'' Kurt shouted,'' I NEED TO KILL HIM.''
"You'll take anger management classes,'' Charles said,'' About three times a week.''
End of flashback
"Wow,'' Steve said,'' Sounds like an interesting month.''
"Ya,'' Todd said,'' I'm almost sad I missed it.''
Jean shook her head, then realized something. She ran into the living room. It was empty.' I'm suposed to watch them,' Jean thought,' They couldn't of gotten far.' The brotherhood came in after her.
"I need your help,'' Jean said.
