Todd's POV
It had just been another boring day at Bayville High, ever since Mystique disappeared and Principal Kelly took over things have been pretty boring. Everyone here thinks they know me, the dumb kid who talks like an uneducated lout and barely passes his classes.
Or as the hygienically challenged mutant with the dumb curse, that's right, I said curse, my powers are no gift as some would want us to believe, my whole life has proven that.
I walk along the side of the road, alone, the others have ditched me they always do; Lance is most likely hanging out with Kitty, Pietro always runs home, Tabitha is probably blowing something up, somewhere, and Fred is probably already stuffing his face back at the house.
Though I have let these four get closer then most they still do not see behind my lies, and my mask, they have never seen my true powers, or my true self, the genius with the good power and real issues. I chuckle at the thought and look up as a brand new Rolls Royce pulls up right alongside me.
Oh shit! It can't be him, I escaped, I got away there is no way he could have found me here, I even changed my name, how could he have discovered my hiding spot? The window rolls down and a head leans out the window, "Hello son, aren't you glad to see me?"
I glare coldly at the man who refers to himself as my father, he was never that, merely the sperm donor that contributed DNA to the process, "What the fuck are you doing here?!"
The toad has left and I show my true self, standing up straight with my eyes narrowed to glimmering slits and my tongue hissing between my lips, the serpent in me has arrived.
Normal POV
Unknown to Todd the brotherhood had not actually ditched him, the rest of them had each gotten detention from Principal Kelly again. Finally they were allowed to leave and they all climbed into Lance's jeep for the ride back to the boarding house.
Lance was the first to speak on the ride home "How in the hell did Todd not get detention, if we did you know that Kelly asshole would have given it to him just to make it complete."
The others just shrugged as they turned down the stretch of road that led back to the boarding house. Suddenly Tabitha spoke up, "Hold up Lance, slow down and check that out!"
Right in front of them was the sweetest car any of them had ever seen and a guy was standing next to it talking to the window. The door opened and a tall dangerous looking man climbed out, suddenly Pietro realized something, "Isn't that Todd talking to the guy with the kickass ride?"
The others looked and realized it was, however they hardly recognized the one they made fun of so much, he was standing straight up, taller then any of them had though, his eyes were merely slits and a tongue seemed to hiss from his mouth.
Lance started the jeep up again, "C'mon guys lets go see what Todd has been hiding."
