A/N – This really has nothing to do with 'Insight'. It involves no one but Toad and his thoughts when he once saved someone. Completely hit me in the head.
To Save or Not to Save?
She never looked disturbed when I used my tongue to peg a snack. She never acted like it disturbed her, though I'm sure she did find it oddly sickening, but she didn't say anything, which was more then anyone else.
She was the one human I could stand, still can stand.
So, when I saw that car, barreling toward her, with her being oblivious, I moved. I launched myself forward, knocking her off her feet.
I remember how I almost crushed her when I did it and lifted her up, leaping away as the car rushed passed my feet. I set her down and she looked frightened.
For a moment, I thought I screwed it up. For a moment, I thought I lost my only friend (at the time, but no longer).
And then she hugged me, crying out of pure relief. She thanked me over and over, and I just stayed there.
When she had calmed, I walked (hopped) her home and she smiled at me, walking inside. After that, I left with Mystique. I never got to say good bye.
Maybe she'll forgive me, one day.
