A/N: Okay. This is a one shot that I suddenly got the idea for in a shopping mall with my mom and sisters. This song came over the radio thingy and I suddenly thought, "Man, this must be how Toad feels." As soon as we got home I wrote this. Please tell me what you think.

Everything you Want
Somewhere there's
speaking
It's already coming in
"She's depressed again. Yeah Magneto, it's worse that she remembers what happened."
Sighing Todd looked into the living room where Wanda sat unaware of the conversation Pietro was having with Magneto. A large scowl sat on her lovely face.
Oh and it's
rising at the back of your mind
"Hi there baby cakes." He hopped over only to be throw against the wall, leaving yet another indent. "Bad mood. Alright, I'll just go. Okay Yo." Falling from the wall he left the room. With a look back and a sigh as he left the house.
You never could
get it
Unless you were fed it
"Why doesn't he take the hint," he heard her say threw the cracked window.
Now you're here and you don't know why
"What am I doing?" Scratching the back of his head he walked in his usual slouch down the street, "Why can't she see how much I love her yo?"
But under skinned
knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
He passed the school where Duncan suddenly jumped out of his car and threw him to the ground. Hitting him a few times he dropped him back onto the pavement, happy with his work. "Mutant freak," he murmured with a smile, got in his car, and drove away.
You howl and
listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't
return
His hate for the boy echoed within him, all he wanted to do was walk a bit, and he couldn't even do that anymore. Getting up he flicked off the receding vehicle and walked on. Thoughts of how unfair the life he had filling his thoughts. He had little, got little, and couldn't even be with the one he loved.
He's everything
you want
He's everything you need
"Hey Wanda, you seen Toad?" Lance yelled from the kitchen.
"No, and why would I care." She answered coldly and walked up the stairs.
He's everything
inside of you
That you wish you could be
Taking out a CD she placed it into her player and began to twirl things in the air with her powers. Taking a pillow she began to throw it into the wall, pretending it was her father.
He says all the
right things
At exactly the right time
Tears came down her cheeks suddenly and Todd's face swam into her mind.
"Why won't he leave me alone," she grumbled angrily. She threw another pillow into the wall, this time it's soft thud angering her. She needed something hard, something that would make a sound.
But he means
nothing to you
And you don't know why
Walking down the road, Wanda on his mind, Todd thought about how much hurt she had been through.
"Magneto put her in an insane asylum yo," he thought, "I can't forgive him for that."
You're waiting
for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to
push you away
He walked back into the house, listening to the pounding sounds coming from upstairs.
"Where ya been Toad." He turned to find Lance standing before him.
"Nowhere yo. I'm gonna go take a nap." He hopped up the stairs to his room.
There's always
another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish
he'd say
Grabbing a glass on her bed side table she crushed it in her grasp. Gasping from the pain of the cuts she looked down at her bleeding hand, and thought of Todd, and how much blood she had seen come from him. Blood that she had caused.
He's everything
you want
He's everything you need
Throwing the remaining shards of glass against the wall she turned off the radio, tears in her eyes.
He's
everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
Up the stairs he walked passed her door, and listened to the music and thumping sounds.
Turning around he stood before it ready to knock.
He says all
the right things
At exactly the right time
Todd listened to her threw the door, and almost opened it, only to hear her throw something that sounded like glass against the door.
"I
love ya baby cakes," he murmured and went down the hall.
But he means
nothing to you
And you don't know why
Panting she looked at the red glass and left the room holding her bleeding hand. In the bathroom she began to wash it off with water, and her tears. The blood swirled in the drain as the glass pushed deeper into her skin as she rubbed it in.
But you'll just
sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
Rubbing at the glass with a towel she felt the shards bight into her skin even deeper.
"Why won't they come out," she grumbled, "Their as annoying as Toad." Sudden sobs started to emit from her mouth as she threw the rag away and began to bandage her hand, glass and all.
And you'll be
just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting
for
Laying on his bed Todd listened as the water in the bathroom next door ran threw the old pipes. A few crying gasps could be heard.
"Just let me help you yo." He closed his eyes against his own tears.
Out of the
island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have
turned
Leaving the bathroom with her hand badly bandaged she looked at the few pictures they had. Most of them were badly taken by Fred, but they at least help decorate. Her eyes fell upon the one of the whole group, Todd sitting next to her with a goofy smile on his face; she had half of one upon her lips.
You never did
notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't
return
Leaving his room he ran into Wanda in the hall way.
"Watch were your goin." She said haughtily, tearing her eyes away from the picture. She noticed Todd was looking more depressed then usually, but why did she notice? Why did she care?
He's everything
you want
He's everything you need
"Sorry baby cakes." He looked down at her bandaged hand. She tried to hide it, but he took it in his own. She tried to pull her hand away, but her grasped it gently.
He's everything
inside of you
That you wish you could be
"It's nothing alright so just leave me alone." She tried to pull her hand away yet again, but Todd wouldn't let go. Even though his grip was firm, his touch was gentle.
He says all the
right things
At exactly the right time
He looked down at the hand and ran his fingers over the palm gently. He felt sharp pinpricks and looked up at her.
"What did you do?"
"I broke a glass okay." She looked away from him.
But he means
nothing to you
And you don't know why
"Let me help you redo this yo," he said pulling her back into the bathroom, "I've had a lot of practice on myself." He gave her a smile, a sad smile that made her heart hick up.
"Practice from what?" The thought rang in her head, but it was lost as soon as he began to work on the sore flesh.
I am everything you
want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of
you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At
exactly the right time
Unwrapping the wound he looked down at her bleeding hand. "I love you," he whispered as he began to clean the wound, "Now if you could only love me." Wanda just stared, a blank look on her face as she watched him clean her hand.
But I mean nothing to
you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
"If only I could." She whispered, "But you just don't mean that to me." With a tears in their eyes Todd wrapped up her hand and turned away from her. Wanda stood quietly as he left.
"Why." He asked stopping within the door.
Looking down she whispered, "I don't know," but when she looked up he was gone. A tear made it's way silently down her cheek. "I don't know why."
Why
I don't
know
End
A/N: Yes a bit sad I know, but I just thought that this song would go well with this. I hope you liked it. R&R please!
