You need to elevate and find-

Lance and Pietro watched wearily as Todd buzzed and sashayed across the room gathering his breakfast. Pietro wasn't sure but he could swear the smaller mutant was whistling "Dance With Me" by Debelah Morgan. Lance lurched away from him as he did a spin and hopped into his chair across from them. They stared at him wide eyed as he ate the honeyed cherrios with an enormous grin on his face. They could practically see him shaking with constricted happiness! Pietro leaned into Lance to whisper.
"Diagnosis?"
"He either got laid or won the lottery." He whispered back.
"You gonna eat that yo?"
Lance looked up to see Todd pointing at his half eaten toast.
"Not anymore."
"Thanks!"
"Mmmgggg, why didn't anyone wake me up?"
The rest turned around to watch a groggy half dressed Freddie lumbered into the room. He yawned before carelessly throwing himself into the chair next to Todd. Pietro instantly covered his food for dear life as the plates and table shook and Fred fell through the chair to meet the floor.
"Damnit Fred watch it!" Lance yelled holding onto the back of his chair.
Fred grumbled something before feeling someone's eyes on him. He cautiously looked over to see a giddy Todd smiling at him so much his body shook. Before he could make a comment Todd threw himself at the overly large boy embracing him in a tight hug. Pietro gawked as Lance fell out of his chair. Fred's eyes bugged out as he felt his neck inside the scrawny arms of the smaller teen.
"What the hell are you doing Todd! You don't know where he's been!"Pietro screeched.
"Don't worry about the chair Freddie, just as long as you're ok thats all that matters,yo." He said comfortingly before letting him go.
"Dude, this is like something out of the exercist." Lance whispered to Pietro getting off the floor.
Todd hopped off and towards the door pausing to turn around and wave to his fellow brotherhood.
They watched the door close quietly shut. Freddie turned to look at Lance and Pietro.
"Whats Todd doing drinking so early on a sunday morning?"
**********
Everything seemed different to the small mutant. The world seemed more colorfull, more fair, like something out of a story book. That wasn't all. Even *he* felt different. It was that feeling of always having something to look forward to. Todd beamed walking down the sidewalk not in a hurry for once. His eyes saw in new light. His smile widened as "Hard Nock" came into view. The walking soon turned into light jogging as he ran to the building and up to the glass door. He peered in first to see if the familiar chocolate and caramel haired girl had arrived yet. It *was* still early, only 6:05, sure enough a unique bandana flagged his interest once again. Suddenly feeling the giddy urge for the second time that day he stepped in allowing the bell's sound to soothe his ears.
"Hey yo!"
"GIVE IT BACK YOU SORRY MOTHER WHATER!!!"
Todd watched Tony leap out of the way just in time for Devon and Ryan to zip by, Ryan in the lead. She chased him angrily desperately taking swings at the blond every time he came into range, unfortunately missing everytime. He faintly noticed Ryan teasing her with something, only making out a pink and orange blur.
"Awww Devy wevy want it back?!" Ryan called behind him.
"YOU SON OF A BEACH IF YOU DARE EVEN *SMUDGE* IT I'LL RIP YOUR BALLS OFF AND SHOVE 'EM DONE YOUR THROAT!!" She screeched still trying to nab the pink blur Ryan was holding above her head.
"*Such* language for a girl so small!"
"TONYYYYYYY!!!!! MAKE 'IM GIVE IT BACK!!"
"Children settle down!"
"Aw c'mon boss I'm just having a little fun, not my fault bright eyes here is so sensative!"
Todd panicked as he realized they were headed straight for him. Devon took her eyes off her target just long enough to catch the new commer in the doorway.
"TODD GRAB 'IM!!"
Ryan's head snapped in the smaller boy's direction but it was too late feeling the sudden intake of air and the crushing feeling in his stomach. Devon grinned seeing her new friend tackle her attacker, but her grin soon faded as the large young man came smashing on top of her.
"This(gasp) wasn't exatctly(sputter) what I had in mind, but ok." She wheezed from underneath the two.
Todd snatched the object Ryan squeezed to him. He looked down at it and almost fainted. It was a powerpuff girl doll. Big Bad Devon had a powerpuff doll.
"Quick! Don't let her get it!! C'mon Todd be a man!"
He snapped out of it and noticed the blond teenager pinning from under her arms. He shook his head and rolled his eyes pulling her by the wrist away from the supior weight being. Devon sighed with reflief as he handed her blossom doll to her, she squeezed it and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Hmph, wussy."
She turned to see a ruffled Ryan standing and glaring at her savior. Her glare turned icey as she walked over to him. She snapped her hand up with lightening quick reflexes grabbing his collar and yanking him mercilessly down to her eye level. She pronunciated every word to get her point across with a deadly tone.
"Sleep with one eye open." She growled before shoving him away from her and stomping angrily away.
"Hell I'll sleep with both." He mumbled. He looked over at Todd watching him disgustedly as he touched the spot on his cheek where she had kissed him. Ryan rolled his eyes and slapped him upside the head.
Todd glared at him and rubbed the back of his head before walking off in Devon's direction.
She yawned stretching out the cracks in her back.
"Ya know I never quite got why that sound bothers people so much." Todd looked up surprised.
"What?"
"Body crackying, you know, your fingers, back, neck, blah blah blah. Bothers you?"
He shrugged.
"Not really."
She nelt down stretching her legs out and jumped up.
"Ok, nice lil' chit chat, warm up and lets get back to hell."
He snickered and layed down to do as he was told all the while watching her cup her hands to her mouth and yell something across the room.
"YA HERE THAT TONY?! *HELL*! THATS WHAT WE GO THROUGH FOR YOU! *HELL*!!"
"AT LEAST YOU GET PAID FOR IT!" He called back.
She glared walking over and plopping next to Todd grumbling.
"Does he *always* have to come up with some smart ass retort?" She mumbled.
"Hey at east you get to talk to him like that. Another boss woulda fired you,yo."
She glared at him with her head in her hands.
"Stop being the voice of reason and agree with me."
"You're right, he's an evil asshole that must be destroyed!"
Suddenly her frown broke out into a beaming smile catching him off guard as she snapped him into one of her crushing bear hugs.
"I *like* you!"
Todd felt himself grow warm but ignored it and threw his arms around her squeezing the life out of her. If he had learned anything about the strange girl it was that you just had to play back harder. She choked a little shocked that he got over his shyness and stared at him when he let her of go. He looked at her smugly but soon regretted it as a sly grin took over her features. Before he had a chance to protest she snatched the collar of his shirt and dragged her lips to his. He was soon invaded by sensations and other things tingling in his mouth. It only lasted less than ten seconds until she roughly pushed herself away and stood over him smirk and all.
"Hmph, can't top me in *that*."
He stared up at her as if she had grown another head watching her roll her eyes.
"C'mon enough kissy kissy lets go or Tony'll be riding our asses 'til we're thirty."
He nodded and stodd up positioning himself in the rutine position.
"Alright terminator lets see whatchya got!"
**********
The exercises were over and Todd was catching on faster that anyone had thought. He'd be starting work probably by tomorrow. Right now it was the end of the day. Most had left with the exception of Tony who was in his office and Todd and Devon.
"K you get that end and I got this one. Ready?" Devon motioned
"Why do yo always ask that like I have a choice?"
" 'Cause its the only thing that keeps me from looking like an overbearing bitch." She grunted lifting the front end of the weight.
"I'm pretty sure that ship sailed when you socked Duncan in the balls yo." He strained lifting the back end. "How come I always get the back?"
"Because I whine more about it, now walk."
Todd rolled his pale yellow eyes as they made their way to the storage room. They struggled to the doorway and stopped.
"Yo, Dev, I just noticed something."
"Which would of course be....................?"
"The weights too big for the door."
"Ahhhhhh, how enlightening............."
"What're we gonna do, yo?"
Devon chewed on her lip for a while staring at the width challenged doorway. Suddenly a lightbulb went off in her head!(*rolls eyes* no not litterally)
"Oohh, ok lets switch positions, you turn my way and I'll take the back, then you slowly pull while I push, and as I say that keep all thoughts pg rated!"
Todd chuckled anyway and began to switch.
"Ok, I'm pulling yo......." He laughed.
"Todd I am *this* far from kicking you-"
"WOAH!ACK!" He screamed as the bar bell toppled onto his chest.
He cringed but felt no pain. The weights kept it just above him enough to where it would leave nothing but a bruise in the morning yet trapping him none the less. He looked up to see the bi-colored girl walking towards him sashaying her hips and grinning evilly. Todd gulped and began to panic.
"O-ok, if you lift this thing now I'll take this all as an accident." He stuttered.
She simply smiled before turning around and sitting on the offending bar. Swinging her legs lazily she looked at him with mischievious eyes.
"You did that on purpose!"
"Naw seriously?" She said sarcastically.
He struggled against the restraints gaining nothing but the wind being kicked out of him. Devon rolled her eyes and patted his head.
"Calm down boy I haven't hurtchya yet have I? And we can keep it that way if you agree to everything I say." She said with that same smirk as before.
Todd instantly stopped struggling and watched the finger curl his dirty blond hair around it. He looked up at her and beamed.
"How the hell can you not be every guy's dream yo?"
She laughed and flung his own hair at him.
"Dunno, why don't you ask Duncan?"
"Ok, nice laugh, ha ha ha, seriously now, lemme up." He said trying to move the bar gaining little leverage.
Devon glared at him and applied more of her weight onto it making it sink back into his chest with a thud.
"Hey Einstein incarnet what part of my little bribery scheme do you need repeated?"
"Bribery! That wasn't bribery that was *BLACKMAIL!*"
"Oh now lets not call it *that*." She drawled.
"But thats what it is!"
"I know. I just don't wanna call it that."
Todd rolled his eyes giving up and plopped back into his prison.
"Whatdya want?"
She smiled at him and swung her legs excitedly.
"Don't get your hopes up on anything kinky romeo. My wants are pointed in a completely different direction for the time being."
"Well damn." He cursed sarcastically.
She didn't seem to notice and carried on.
"*You* my precious, are taking me to the mal-"
"NO!!" He screeched and began thrashing violently against the bar, even being able to lift her a couple of inches before the weight throwing him back.
"Knock it off, c'mon do I really look like the kinda girl who would torture a guy by taking him clothes shopping? Pfft please! No my interests are going more digital." She said off handedly.
"I don't even want to *tell* you the picture *that* gave me."
Devon glared at him before tugging on a lock of his hair sharply.
"Ow!"
"I'm talking about a video game 'oh smart one'! Resident Evil 9 is out and my pay check is coming this friday as we all know. So you are going to accompany yours truly to the Bayville Mall." She comanded the last part.
Todd looked at her funny.
"Thats real cool yo, but why do I gotta go?"
She stood up and knelt back down resting her arms on the bar and her head in her arms. She cocked her head and smiled at him twirling a piece of hair back around her tanned finger.
"Because if you don't you'll never see the other half of your body again." She said with fake sweetness before helping him lift the bar.
He sighed and nodded. That wasn't exactly what he had meant when he asked but he wasn't going to push it.
Todd glared at her on the outside but inside he was singing the theme to happy days! Of all the things that had happened to him in his life this made up for every single one. He had never expected *her* to ask *him* out. Well maybe it wasn't exactly a date. But then again.......He probably should've expected it. She never did seem like the kind of shy helpless damsel. Still, he thought it was against some sort of code for a girl to ask a guy out. On of course a 'non-date', but she wasn't a normal girl. It was like getting asked out by Lara Croft! He grinned to himself as he watched her walk out the door into the stary night. He wasn't going to push his luck and ask to walk home with her. They probably wouldn't be making eye contact until Friday. He snorted and shook his head, what the hell did he know, sometimes he just forgot what kind of girl he was thinking about.................................
Well whatchya think? Sorry for the major lateness, but laziness is an issue:P. I'll the the next chap out sooner I promise! I think.................N.E.wayz peace people!
