Chapter Five

The x-men waitted about two hours. The brotherhood still couldn't get over the wall. Kitty would laugh every time she pushed the button, so Jean took it away from her.

"What's taking them so long?" Bobby asked.

"I think they want us to-" Charles started.

"I know what they are doing," Jean said," I've only heard some screams and always the same person. That would mean only one person is trying. The others are-"

"Gone," Someone said from above them.

They looked up in time to see Magneto, Mystique, Toad, and Kathy land behind the fence. The x-men looked shocked and confused.

"What did they take?" Kitty asked.

'Kathy,' Charles thought,' What did you take?'

'My dear Charles,' Kathy thought,' What makes you think we took something?'

'You still have time to come back,' Charles thought,' I can still help you.'

'Why would you want to do that?'

'Please, just look over the fence and look at us.'

Kathy looked at the others, who were looking at the thing they took. Kathy turned around and peeked through a hole in the fence. Everyone of the x-men were just standing there, doing nothing at all. Kurt was standing by Logan, looking sad. Kathy looked at all the people she thought was her friends or were they still her friends? She didn't know. She looked at Charles, who was staring at the fence, with a smile.

'How can you help me?' Kathy thought.

'I can get back your memory,' Charles thought,' Magneto just wants to use you to get the stuff he can't. Just look what he made you do. Did you get the answer you were looking for?'

Kathy looked at Magneto, who was laughing evilly. Kathy read his mind, but some of it was blocked. She focused until she broke through them. Magneto stopped laughing and stared at Kathy. She knew now that he didn't really want to help her. All he wanted were some of the passwords to cerebro.

"You shouldn't enter peoples minds without permission," Magneto said," Sabretooth get her." Kathy quickly phased through the wall. Sabretooth jumped over it, but was hit with a beam of red light. Kathy looked over to see that Scott had blasted him. Sabretooth gave a growl and jumped back over the fence.

"I can't get her," Sabretooth said.

"You can't," Magneto said," But Toad can."

Mort looked at Magneto with a surprise.

"You said we were not going to hurt her," Mort said.

"We are not," Mystique said," She just has some passwords that we need."

"Well," Mort said," You can do it then. I'm not going to do it."

"Fine," Mystique said, shifting into Mort." I'll get her."

Mystique jumped over the fence, while Mort just stood there. Kathy was talking to Charles when Mystique jumped over the fence.

"Vhat are you doing here?" Kurt asked.

Charles looked over at Mystique, who gave him a small smile.

"I realize that Magneto is not for me," Mystique said," And that I want to join the team."

Half the x-men burst out laughing. Charles smiled, and put out a hand. Kathy gave Mystique a look that said 'you are so stupid.' Mystique just smiled, taking Charles hand.

"We'll see how it goes," Charles said, as Mystique let go of his hand." Logan will show you your room. Glad to have you on the team Mortimer."

Mystique just nodded and followed Logan, who was smelling the air. Mystique stayed a little bit away from Logan as they went inside. Kurt watched them enter the house, with a look that said 'he is just trying to get Kathy back on his team.' Kathy looked at Kurt with a smile.'This might turn out good after all,' Kathy thought as she and the rest of the x-men entered the house.
