Disclaimer: Sorry, spent all my money on the kitten, i couldn't afford to own the x-men, booo hooo. I still own Sidney, Pickles, Daniel and Martin. Who's Martin, i hear you ask?, read on..
Hey guys, you know what time it is. Lets all join hands and pay homage to those who have reviewed my work.
Red witch - Well i promise i'll try and get chapters up as soon as possible, the kittens settled in quite well, knock on wood.
Pixiechick - Yes aren't they all very evil people? Don't worry they'll get there butts kicked, tee hee.
Mari - Yes i know, I'M starting to feel sorry for Evan, poor poor Evan. He really should know better though than going off with a complete starnger, i mean, he IS from New York!, no offense to anyone who live in New York :)
Maverickgirl - A new reviewer!. Thank you, i will continue :)
Sarahbunny- TWO new reviewers, boy do i feel special! I'm glad you fin it funny. Don't worry i won't bash Jean again, not for a while anyway....
Joriel - Yes, well Rogue isn't all tough and mean, she can help out 'Swamp- breath'. Well i just dondin't want to give my bad guy a typical bad guy name, like Zurg, Destuctor, etc, so i thought, why not Pickles. Yes, this is the way my mind works..
Bradleigh - Oh thanks for the heads up. HIs father's name is Daniel, sometimes i put it as David by mistake, if you ever see it as David, it's Daniel, lol, my bad.
You guys are the best!
Well you guys, i'm pretty darn close to 100 review. Wow, that sounds great!. Anyway, i decided in the end to do a Todd POV, so here it is.
Chapter 22 - Imprisoned.
I opened my eyes and was almost blinded by the bright light. Man, my head hurt. It looked like i was in some sotra infirmary. I sighed as i tried ta figure out what had happened. I groaned as the memories came floodin' back. My father had crossed the line, big time. My friends were in who knew what sorta danger, and it was all my fault. No, it was all my dads fault. Suddenly a face appeared within inches of my own. I gave a squeak of terror and fell of the bed i'd been lyin' on.
"Oh, i am dreadfully sorry young Master", said a voice.
I looked up ta see an old guy in some sorta waiter getup. He looked like he was genuinley concerned about me, but i reminded myself that he was in leauge wit' my father. I frowned as the old guy leaned forward ta help me up.
"Stay away from me", i said, jerkin' my hand away from him.
The old man sighed, he looked heartbroken. I even started ta feel a twinge of guilt fer snappin' at the guy.
"I suppose i was not really expecting you to welcome me with open arms Sir", he said, shaking his head sadly, "i doubt that you even remember who i am".
I narrowed my eyes, i had no idea who this guy was, but he seemed ta know me.
"No i don't know who ya are", i said, standing up, "all i know is that ya helpin' my dad keep me locked up here".
The man sighed and gave a sad nod.
"Well, i AM under the employment of your father, i will admit it", he said, "my name is Martin. I must say, it is good to see you again Sir after all this time, despite the circumstances".
"Huh?", i said, blinking.
Oh great Todd, i mentaly berated myself, that makes ya sound REALLY threatening.
"I took care of you when you were a baby", explained Martin, "i watched you grow up, well until you were three years old anyway. It was an awfull shame that your father had to give you up".
"Yeah right", i muttered, "as if he didn't want ta get me out of his life".
I sighed and put my hand ta the back of my neck. My hand scraped across somethin' metal.
"What the heck?", i said.
I was wearin' some sorta metal colar.
"Oh, that", said Martin with a sigh, "i was hoping that you wouldn't find that so soon Sir".
"What is it?", i asked, trying to get the thing off, it was stuck tight.
"It's a collar that inhibits your...errr..special gifts", said Martin with a nervous chuckle, "your father ordered it to be made. I belive he gave some to his buisness partner, Mr Pickles as well".
"It stopes my mutant powers?", i said, shaking my head, "great, trust my dad ta do somethin' like this ta me".
I decided ta test it, just in case. I walked over ta the wall an' put my hand on it, it didn't stick. I jumped, but it was just an ordinary jump, no height at all. I groaned, boy did i hate my dad right now.
"So, what? I'm a prisoner here?", i asked with a sigh, banging my head against the wall.
"Prisoner is such a harsh word Master Mortimer...."
"My name is Todd", i said, what was it with these people?. They just wouldn't accept the fact that i'd changed my name.
"Oh...I appologise, you father did mention.."
"Look", i said, "i ain't really in the mood ta chat. I don't want ta be here, i want ta go home, i want ta help my friends".
"Would you like me to show you to your room Master Todd?", asked Martin, walking otwards the door.
"Like i have a choice?", i muttered followin' Martin out.
As i followed Martin along, i was surprised at the size of my former home. I couldn't remember it bein' THIS big. Heck, ya could park the entire Xavier mansion in the main hall of this place.
"Here we are Sir", said Martin, opening a door.
Despite the fact that i was bein' kept here against my will, i had ta admit, it was one big room. It was even bigger than the room that i'd had at the X-geeks place. I shook my head clear, remindin' myself that i was here as a priosner.
"I trust the room is to your liking young Master?", asked Martin, hovering by the door.
"Yeah, whatever", i said with a shrug.
What was with all of this 'Master' an' 'Sir' stuff?. I sure wasn't used ta bein' talked to like that. Ireally wanted ta go back ta Bayville. Sidney was in danger an' i knew that Pickles wouldn't hesitate ta hurt her. If he did anything ta her i'd.. I sighed and looked out of the window, i was on the ground floor. I could get out of here easy, powers or not. All i had ta do was wait fer the old man ta leave an..
"Oh he's awake at last".
I spun round ta see my father standing in the doorway. It took all my self- control not ta thro myself at the guy's throat there an' then. Instead, i just scowled at him.
"Thats funny. I thought i heard a buzzin' sound", i said, narrowin; my eyes, "like a mosquito".
"Ah i see we still hold a little resentment", said dad with a smirk, "i am sure it will wear off when you settle in".
"I don't WANT ta settle in", i said, crossin' my arms, "i hope ya realise the danger ya put my friends in. The danger ya put the girl i love in".
Did i just say love?. I loved Sid?. Oh great, my feelin's had perfect timin', as always.
"I made a business deal", said my dad, as pomus as ever, "what Mr Pickles does with those mutnats is none of my buisness. And as for love, hah, the only girls you'll have a chance to meet will be of a high society. I refuse to have...mongrels in my family".
"Don't you EVER call my girlfriend a mongrel", i snarled, i was gettin' very close ta smakin' him in the mouth, "an' it's gonna be your buisness, 'cause once i get out...".
"Oh please", said dad, wavin' his hand in the air, "you honestly belive i would let you walk around here if i knew you could escape?. That collar around your neck not only inhibits your..condition, but if you step foot outside this house, it will trigger and alarm system. My guards will be around you before you can get to the main gate".
"What!", i said, lookin' up, "ya know ya can't lock me up like..like an animal at a zoo".
"I am your father. I can do as i iwsh", said dad, then turned to Martin, "come Martin, lets leave my son to his thoughts. I want you to guard his door".
"Yes Sir", said Martin, then gave me a bow, "master Todd".
With that, both adults left my room. I sighed an' sat on the windowsill. I reached my hand ta my neck and felt the collar again. There had ta be a way ta get it off. My hand finally found a keyhole, no doubt my father had the key. I sighed and cloaed my eyes, leanin' my head on the window, i was startin' ta give up hope of gettin' outta here. The odds were pretty much stacked against me. I was probably gonna loose Sid, all because of my father an' his stupid estate. My thoughts were interupted by someone knockin' on the window. I turned my head ta see what was makin' the noise. Was that Rogue?. Sure enough, Rogue's head popped up from the flowerbed.
"Rogue?", i asked, blinkin' in surprise as i opened the window and Rogue fell inside with a thud.
"Hey Swamp-breath, nice collar", she said with a smile.
"Trust me, it as nasty as it looks", i said with a sigh, "how the heck did ya get here?".
"Ah grabbed onta ya daddy's cars bumper", said Rogue with a grin, "ya'll woudln't belive how long ah've had ta hang on fer. A'hm glad a'h wear gloves".
"But what about the gas?", i asked.
"Ah absorbed Pickles' powers remember?", said Rogue, " it didn't effect me. They didn't even notice a'hd slipped out. Ah've contacted the profesoor, they shoulde be lookin' fer the werehouse by now. A'h thought a'hd come an' bust ya'll outta here though".
"Since when did you care what happens ta me?", i asked, a little suspisous.
"In case ya'll forgot Todd", said Rogue, putting her hands on her hips, "a'h WAS a member of the Brotherhood family once. Ya'll like the irritatin' little brother a'h never had".
"Oh gee, i'm touched", i said chucklin'.
"So lets go already", siad Rogue, "a'h think that they'll need all ahnds on deck back at Bayville".
"I can't go outta the house until this thing comes off", i said, pointing at the collar, "it stops my mutant powers an' it'll trigger off an alarm as soon as i leave the buildin'"
"Well we'll just have ta get it off", said Rogue with a shrug, "ah might have a bit of Pickles' power laft a'h could try ta snap it off".
"Or...", i said backin' away slightly, "we could go find the key an' avoid me havin' a broken neck".
"Good point", said Rogue with a nod, "but have ya'll seen how big this place is?. It'd take us forever ta find...."
"Is everyhting okay in there Sir?", came Maritns voice through the door.
"Oh oh, not good", i said.
The door handle unlocked and it started ta open.
"Under the bed", i hissed ta Rogue.
Rogue nodded and dived under the bed, just as Martin entered.
"Is everything alright in here Sir?", asked Martin again, looking around, "i thought i heard voices".
"Voices?", i said with a nervous laugh, "nope, no voices here".
"My ears must be deciving me in my old age", said Martin, his feet were dangerously close to my bed.
Suddenly Rogue's hand shot out and grabbed Matin's ankle. He gave a surpirsed gasp before he fell ta the ground unconcious. Rogue pulled herself from under the bed and dusted herself off.
"Well thats the door guard down", she said with a smirk.
"Ya know Roguey", i said, shakin' my head, "ya really sacre me sometimes".
"Yeah, well ya'll can be nice ta me now", said Rogue with an evil grin, "this guy looked after ya'll when you were a baby. A'hve got blackmail stories on ya'll now".
"You wouldn't!", i said, my eyes widening.
Rogue mearly gave an evil laugh and walked out of the room.
"Do ya'll want ta get outtta here or not Swamp-breat?", i heard her shout.
I rolled my eyes and walked out, leavin' Martin on the floor.
"Have ya got ANY idea where were goin'", i asked Rogue, who was storming ahead.
"Yeah, that Martin guys knows where the key's kept", she said with a smile, "ain't i handy dandy?".
"Great", i said, "so where is it yo?".
"Errr, thats the bad part", said Rogue, "its in ya dads study".
"Figures", i muttered rollin' my eyes.
We'd turned the corner again and came face to face with a housemaid.
"Oh", she said in shock, pointin' at me, "your not supposed to be out here".
"Don't ya'll worry about it", said Rogue, tapping the maid on the forehead and knocking her out, "ya'll wont remember it until were outta here".
"Your enjoying this WAY too much Roguey", i said shakin' my head.
"Hey, knockin' out members of your fathers staff is like a sport ta me", she said with a chuckle, then stopped at a door, "here we are".
I took a deep breath and opened the door cautiously. The room was empty, but sitting on my fathers desk was the key.
"Dont ya'll think this is too easy?", asked Rogue, stepping in and lookin' around.
"Hey don't look a gift horse in the mouth", i said, pickin' up the key, "try ta contact the professor will ya while i get this thing off".
Rogue nodded and closed her eyes in concentration, i saw her head nod as she made mental contact with Xavier. I stuck the key in the lock and turned it, the collar fallin' off real quickly and droppin' ta the floor. There were no alarms nothin'. I blinked and sent out my tounge, sure enough, it flew across the room and hit the vase on mt dads desk. My powers were back!. Rogue opened her eyes and smiled at me.
"Theyv'e got our location", she said with a grin, "Storm'll be here with the blackbirld in a few minutes. We gotts get outside ta meet her".
"Fair enough", i said, opening the window, we were on the second floor now, but it wasn't a problem now that i had my powers back, "grab onta my back Roguey, i'll get us down".
Suddenly the door began ta open.
"Uh oh, busted", said Rogue, jumping onto my back and holdin' on fer dear life.
"Not if i can help it yo", i said, jumping down from the window just as the door opened.
I landed easily. Rogue clambered off my back and looked up. The sound of footsteps could be heard until they stopped. My fathers yell ran through the grounds.
"I guess he found the collar", said Rogue with a shrug.
"Guess so", i said with a smile.
The sound of the blackbird could be heard nearing the grounds. I gave an evil grin. There was one more thing i had ta do. I jumped up ta the window and stuck to the wall. My dad was staring at the colar on the floor.
"Yo dad", i shouted, he turned to face me, "ya can't cage up the Toad".
His eyes widened and he ran towards me. I grinned and sent out a gloop of slime at his face, causing him to fall over. I chuckled and leapt back down to stand next to Rogue.
"That was mature", she said, shaking her head.
"Come on, ya can't tell me he didn't deserve it", i said.
"Ya'll right, he did deserve it", she said, "come on, the blackbirds landed down there".
We ran over to where the balckbird was standing, only to be cut off by Martin. He looked at us and smiled. I was sure he was gonna hand me back ta my dad. Then he did the weirdest thing, he stepped aside.
"I'd go quickly if i were you Master Todd", he said, "before your father sends out his security after you".
"Thanks man", i said, with a nod, running past him with Rogue. We made it to the waiting blackbird and jumped in.
"Good to see you two back", said Storm from the controls, "we'd better go to the werehouse, i belive Charles and Logan will need our asistance".
I sighed and collapsed in a chair, lookin' outta my window at my dads home. Martin was waving at me, i gave him a wave before the blackbird sped off. I just hoped we wouldn't be too late ta help Sid and the others. I closed my eyes and waited for the jorney to end. I never did like airplanes.

"That was mature", she said, shaking her head.
"Come on, ya can't tell me he didn't deserve it", i said.
"Ya'll right, he did deserve it", she said, "come on, the blackbirds landed down there".
We ran over to where the balckbird was standing, only to be cut off by Martin. He looked at us and smiled. I was sure he was gonna hand me back ta my dad. Then he did the weirdest thing, he stepped aside.
"I'd go quickly if i were you Master Todd", he said, "before your father sends out his security after you".
"Thanks man", i said, with a nod, running past him with Rogue. We made it to the waiting blackbird and jumped in.
"Good to see you two back", said Storm from the controls, "we'd better go to the werehouse, i belive Charles and Logan will need our asistance".
I sighed and collapsed in a chair, lookin' outta my window at my dads home. Martin was waving at me, i gave him a wave before the blackbird sped off. I just hoped we wouldn't be too late ta help Sid and the others. I closed my eyes and waited for the jorney to end. I never did like airplanes.
