Chapter Ten

One and a half months later

Kathy was sitting in the kitchen, alone. She was eating a sandwich, that Jean had made for her. She didn't seem to notice that Todd was watching her.

"One and a half more months," Todd said finally deciding to enter the kitchen," That's not that long."

Kathy didn't say anything, just kept on eating her sandwich. Todd gave a small smile.

"You can't ignore me forever," Todd said, jumping on the table in front of Kathy." You have to talk to me sometime."

"Is there a problem?" Logan asked, as he entered the kitchen.

"No," Todd said, jumping off the table." Just trying to talk some sense into her."

"Why don't you just leave her alone?" Logan asked," Give her some space."

"Fine," Todd said, hopping out of the kitchen muttering to himself.

"You okay?" Logan asked.

"Just fine," Kathy said," Why do you ask?"

"You're quiet," Logan said, sitting down.

"Not that much longer," Kathy said.

"Ya," Logan sighed," Listen, you know that I don't care whose it is, just please don't do anything stupid if it's not Kurts."

"I won't," Kathy said," I'm not stupid."

"Really," Logan said, taking a knife out of his pocket," What is this doing in your room?"

Kathy gave Logan a look that said 'why were you in my room.' Logan gave a small laugh, before getting up and leaving the kitchen. Kathy sat there for about five minutes, before getting up and going into the living room. She looked around at everyone there, then at the tv. The news was on, yet again.

"Today we congradulate Miss. Black," The news reporter said, that seemed to of got everyones attention," You invented a formula to help mutants. What do you call it?"

The screen went to a woman, that the x-men and brotherhood knew as Emily.

"Well," Emily said," This formula will help to get rid of their powers. They will be normal again."

"We've heard the thing had some sidifects," The reporter said," Can you tell us what they are?"

"It may turn their skin a different color," Emily said," I've been working on it for awhile and this time have finally got it right. Don't worry, their skin won't stay that color, it will change back."

"Wait," The reporter said," I just got some information. The president has just agreed to make every mutant take this formula."

Logan grabbed the remote and turned off the tv.

"They can't like, do that," Kitty said," It's wrong. Do we get a say in this?"

"No," Charles said," I'm wondering how she got out of jail so soon."

"Probably told them she could make something," Kathy said, sitting down by Logan.

"I see you are talking," Todd said.

Kathy looked over at Jean without saying anything. Jean gave a small laugh.

"What are you two talking about behind our backs?" Bobby asked.

"Nothing," Jean said," Just a little bit of this, a little bit of that."

"Riiiiiight," Lance said.

"Just be quiet," Rogue said.

Kathy put her head on Logans shoulder and fell asleep. Logan gave a small smile.

"I think she is warming up to you," Scott said.

"She has been so kind to me for awhile," Logan said.

"Not like last time," Pietro said," She lost control of her powers and caught you on fire."

"That's not funny," Logan said," It takes longer for burnt skin to heal then a cut to heal."

The brotherhood gave small laughs, while some of the x-men shook their heads.

"It must of really hurt, yo," Todd said," You ran around for awhile, screaming."

Logan looked at the ground, then at Charles.

"You know it was an accident," Charles said, with a smile," She said she was sorry over ten times."

Todd looked at Kathy and grinned. He stood up and quickly, but quietly walked over to her. Everyone was watching him with interest. Kurt was ready to get up if he did something stupid, while Logan was ready to let his claws out. He tapped on Kathys. She grabbed his hand, letting her claws out a litte. He screamed in pain and tried to pull his hand away. Kathy put her claws back and let go of his hand, which caused him to fall back. He forgot that a small table was behind him, which he fell on and broke. Some x-men and the brotherhood burst out laughing. Kathy opened her eyes and looked at everyone. Todd got up and went to get something for his hand.

"What happened?" Kathy asked.

"Todd brok the table," Lance laughed.

Kathy looked at the table with a look that said 'how can that be funny?' She just shrugged her shoulders, and went back to sleep.

"Finally," Wanda said," Someone hurt him so bad that he shut up and just left, instead of coming back for more."

Logan tried to grab the remote, but he was too scared that Kathy would wake up and move somewhere else. Jean gave him a weak smile, before using her power to hand Logan the remote. He turned on the tv to the news.

"Now Emily," The reporter said," What do you call this potion?"

"Well," Emily said," I have a daughter who is a mutant, I won't give names. So I want to call it 'Night Saver'.We used to call my daugher Nightgirl."

Logan turned off the tv. Logan hoped that Emily didn't tell them where they were.
