Chapter Five

Dare looked up at the boarding house with a look of disgust on her face. She turned to Pietro, who was looking at her.

"I know it's not nice looking at," Pietro said," But it's a home."

Dare didn't say anything. She followed Pietro into the house and looked around. The inside was just as bad as the outside. Dare gave a nervious look at the ceiling, then looked at Pietro.

"Is it even safe to be in here?" Dare asked, folding her arms.

"Of course," Pietro said," We've lived her for almost a year."

"You know what," Dare said," I think I'll stay with the x-men. This place...is just not working for me."

Dare turned around and headed to the door, but before she could open the door Pietro sped over to her. He didn't look too happy that Dare was leaving. Dare looked a bit nervious at the way he looked.

"Listen," Pietro said in a very serious voice," I didn't bring you here just to say you don't want to be part of the team. I brought you here to show you where we live. I don't care that you are staying with those x-geeks."

"Watch your mouth," Dare snapped, looking very mad," I'm one of those x-geeks."

"If I were you," Pietro said, moving away from the door, but never taking his eyes off Dare," I'd leave the x-men as soon as possible."

Dare quickly left the house and ran down the road. She kept checking behind her to make sure no one was following her, but she forgot where she was running and ran right into someone. Dare looked up at who she had run into to see that it was Kurt. He helped her to her feet.

"I'm so sorry," Kurt said, making sure she was alright," I don't see any cuts or scratches."

"I'm fine," Dare said, giving a small smile.

"Good," Kurt said," Vhy vere you running anyvay?"

"I was just at the brotherhood house," Dare said," Very creepy place."

"It's not that creepy," Kurt said.

Dare looked at him for awhile, then started to walk down the road. Kurt watched her for awhile, then teleported over to her and starting walking next to her.

"I didn't mean to hurt your feelings," Kurt said.

"You didn't hurt my feelings," Dare said, looking a little shocked that he would even think that.

"Then vhat did I do?" Kurt asked.

"You said the house wasn't that creepy," Dare said," Have you even been in that house?"

"Ja," Kurt said, then lowered his voice," My mother lived there."

Dare stopped and quickly looked at Kurt with a sorry look on her face.

"I'm sorry," Dare said," I didn't know."

"Vhat?" Kurt quickly said, looking up at her," No, don't be sorry for me. She's the one vho made the brotherhood. She is still around, somevhere."

"Oh," Dare said, feeling a bit better.

They continued to walk down the road. They didn't say anything for about ten minutes.

"So," Dare said," Why are you walking alone?"

"I vasn't," Kurt said," Kat vas valking vith me, then Logan came by and said he needed her help."

"Logan," Dare said," The big, strong one right?"

"Ja," Kurt said, nodding his head.

"He doesn't look like the guy who would ask for help," Dare said," Are they close?"

"Ja," Kurt said," Logan is Kat's father."

"But," Dare said, looking a bit confused," I heard her call him Logan. Does she call him father?"

"Not all the time," Kurt said," Just something happened at school one day."

"Tell me," Dare said, looking very interested.

"I don't know," Kurt said.

"Come on," Dare begged," I won't tell anyone."

"Okay," Kurt said," About a month ago Logan came to pick the kids up from school...

One month ago

Logan drove his motorcycle down the road and into the school parking lot. He looked at all the kids running around. He walked past them without even saying anything. He past some teachers as he walked down the hall. One 12th grade girl came up and started to flirt with him, but he just ignored it. He walked up to one of the teachers, who looked at him for awhile.

"May I help you?" The teacher asked.

"Ya," Logan said," You can tell me where Scott, Jean, Kurt, and all the others are."

"They should be in the lunch room," The teacher said," Right down that hall."

Logan gave a small growl and went down the hall without even saying thanks. Logan walked into the lunch room and looked around. He spotted them on one of the back tables. He quickly made his way over to them.

"Hello," Another 12th grader said before he reached their table," Are you new?"

"Get out of my way," Logan growled pushing the girl out of the way.

"That wasn't very nice dad," Kathy said, not even looking up from her food.

The lunch room fell silent and everyone looked at Logan, who was now looking at Kathy.

"Your dad," Someone said," I didn't know you had a dad."

"I thought he was dead," Someone else said.

"There is no way he can be her dad," A girl said," They look nothing alike."

"I agree," Kathy muttered to herself.

"Chuck needs to have a quick word with you," Logan growled.

They stood up and left the lunch room. Everyone stared at Logan until he left the lunch room. Logan grabbed Kathy's shoulder.

"Don't call me dad in front of people," Logan growled in her ear," I don't need people thinking that I'm bad."

Present time

Dare looked at Kurt for awhile, then looked in front of her to see that they were at the mansion.

"Vell," Kurt said, giving a small smile," I'll see you at trainning."

Kurt teleported away, leaving Dare to walk into the mansion by herself. She went up to her room, thinking about what Kurt had just told her.

A/N: Well, I finally have time to update. I've been meaning to update this story for awhile. I'll have the next chapter by next week. Please review.
