Thanks to all my good reviewers, who must be sick of me springing cliff- hangers on them all the time.
Chapter 12 - And into the fire.
Todd frowned from where he sat in Magneto's base. The trip to Ararose hadn't been particualy pleasant, he'd spent the largest part of it slung over Sabertooth's shoulder. Sabertooth now held Todd down in place, while Magneto paced back and forth in front of him like an army general. Magneto paused and turned to face Todd.
"Why on Earth did you tell her?", he asked, his eyes narrowing, "she was happy".
Todd winced, Magneto always scared the crap out of him, he sighed and put his head down.
"It wasn't the truth", he said quietly.
"WHAT?!", said Magneto, a few paperclips begining to float in mid-air.
Todd took a deep breath and looked Magneto in the eyes.
"I said it wasn't the truth", he said, "she deserved ta know the truth. If she warmed up ta ya after ya screwed wit' her head, it wouldn't be real. Even if she wouldn't have remembered it, YOU would have known what ya did ta her. Could YOU have let her go on like that?. Let ya own daughter live a lie?".
Sabertooth gave a snarl and his grip tightened on Todd's shoulders, making him wince. Magneto narrowed his eyes.
"You make it sound as if i don't care about what happens to her", he said.
"Well, throwin' her inta a mental assylum 'aint exactly a show of fatherly love", said Todd.
"Watch your mouth kid", snarled Sabertooth
Magneto sighed and took off his helmet, revealing his hair that looked so much like Pietro's. Now he had time to think about it, Todd realised that Magneto and Pietro were the spitting image of each other....if you added a few years to the speed demon's face.
"I admit, that was a grave mistake on my part", said Magneto with a sigh, "but i do want to build a relationship with my daughter again. Unfortunately, the only way i can do that is if she forgets what happened to her".
He clicked his fingers and Mastermind entered the room. Todd narrowed his eyes. The trouble this man had put him through, both with Wanda and himself was unbeliveable. Had he been able to get up, he would have slimed him. Magnteo noticed this and smiled.
"I belive you know Mastermind", he said with a sly smile, "though your first enconter wasn't exactly a..plesant one".
"You knew?", said Todd, narrowing his eyes.
"About the Black Womb?", said Magneto with a sly smile, "indeed i do. How did you think i found you in the first place? But i was refering to the time you rescued my daughter. No image inducer this time, mmm?".
Todd sighed and closed his eyes, he'd already got a good idea that Magneto knew that it was he who got Wanda out..If Mastermind hadn't told him, he would have known from his voice. He looked up as Mastermind walked closer.
"What are ya gonna do wit' me"?, he asked...already having a good idea what.
"Well i am going to have one more try at becoming a father to my daughter", said Magneto, "unfortunately, Mastermind will have to...alter both of your memories, again".
Mastermind stoped and looked up at Magneto.
"I don't know if it is such a good idea Sir", he said, "to alter a person's memories once is hard enough on the mind, but to do it twice...i'm not sure if their mind's could take that sort of pressure".
Magneto frowned and put his helmet back on.
"That is a chance i am going to have to take", he said, "carry on Mastermind".
Todd struggled against Sabertooth, but didn't have much of a chance. The strong mutant held him firmly in place.
"No hard feelin's kid", he said, "if ya don't squirm i don't have ta hurt ya. You're a good friend to my niece, i wouldn't want ta mess you up, for her sake".
Todd narrowed his eyes, he didn't have much of a choice in the matter. Mastermind advanced on him, his eyes begining to glow. Todd closed his eyes, trying hard to fight it. He could FEEL the mutant hacking into his mind. Suddenly, Todd couldn't remember how he got here...he knew he must have done somehow..but his mind was a blank. What was it that Mystique had taught them about putting up a mental block?. Just as he remembered how to do it, it was torn away from him. Magneto watched then sighed.
"Tell me when you are finished", he said, "Then Toad here can help me find my daughter".
Just as Magneto was finishing his sentance, there was a *bamf*. Kurt appeared in the room, Wanda by his side.
"Hello father", she said, then noticed Todd, "Toad!".
Her eyes narrowed and she turned on her father.
"Let him go", she snarled.
She raised her hand and sent out a hex-bolt onto Mastermind, knocking him away. This broke the link between him and Todd. Todd blinked and shook his head.
"Wanda?", he said, looking at her, "how did you get...".
*BAMF*
Todd looked up to see Kurt sitting on Sabertooth's shoulders.
"Gutten Tag Toad", he said with a grin.
"Hey Blue Boy", said Todd, "didn't expect ta see you".
"Vanda needed a vay to get in here", said Kurt with a shrug.
Sabertooth snarled and tried to grabed Kurt, who teleported out of the way. This, of course, gave Todd the oportunity to wriggle free from the chair.
"Stop them!", shouted Magneto.
"Got it mate", said Pyro.
He started up his flamethrowers and created a huge eagle. The fire-eagle started to swoop towards the three mutants. Wanda threw a hex-bolt at it, turning it on it's creator. She then gestured her arms at Pyro himself, cutting off his flamethrowers. Todd dodged a few cards that Remy threw at him. Todd frowned and spat a goop of slime in Gambit's face.
"I can't see!", he shouted, dropping his bo staff and trying to pull the slime off his face.
Kurt was meanwhile teleporting all over the place, avoiding attacks from both Colossus and Sabertooth. Magneto had started to back away to the exit when he felt himself unable to move. He turned to see Wanda hex-bolting him in place.
"How about a chat...'father to daughter'?", she asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Wanda..please!", said Magneto, "this has to cease. You can't want to kill me every time you see me".
"You're right", said Wanda, letting Magneto go.
Magneto blinked in surprise...this was unexpected.
"I will NEVER forgive you for what you have done to me", said Wanda, she gestured to where Mastermind lay "but your stupid lackey did some good for you. While i didn't know about what you did to me i felt..at peace. Even if i had weird flashbacks and dreams, it felt alot better than having to hunt you down. So i will let you go, but if you try to step foot in my buisness ever again, i swear, i'll gut you like a fish".
She walked over to Kurt and Todd.
"Come on, lets go home", she said.
"Vhatever the lady says", said Kurt, grabbing hold of both Wanda and Todd.
*BAMF*
There you go, another achapter done. Please rveiew, until next time...
