I love my reviewrs so much. Only one chap left!.
A note to Bradleigh. No, Ebony is not a God, he is, according to what i researched on him, an interdimensional kritter. Sidney is in good with a Goddess though, remember 'Divine Inspiration'?. I was hinting that Bastet sent Ebony to them to help...yeah.
Chapter 17 - Family bonds
A few days later, Wanda was sitting alone in Bayville park, contemplating Sidney's words. She frowed, the cat girl was wrong, she had to be. She didn't feel anything for Toad, not one solitary thing...or did she?. No, there was no way..
"Hello Wanda".
Wanda's thoughts were interupted by a familiar voice. She looked up to see her father, for once, not dressed in his rediculous uniform, yet he had his favorite trenchcoat on...the very trenchcoat he wore when he abandonded her, Wanda reminded herself bitterly.
"What do YOU want?", she snapped.
"Just to talk", said Magneto, pointing to the bench she was sitting on, "may i?".
"Whatever", said Wanda, rolling her eyes.
"Thank you".
He sat down next to her and sighed.
"Look, Wanda, i can't appologise enough for..", he started.
"Save it for someone who cares, like Pietro", said Wanda coldly.
"I deserved that", said Magneto with a sigh, "so, what's on your mind?".
"If this is some kind of pitiful attempt to bond with me, it's not working", said Wanda, folding her arms, "so just give it up".
"Wanda, we can't live out entire lives without speaking to one another", said Magneto with a sigh, "you ARE my daughter, nothing can change that".
"Unfortunately", muttered Wanda under her breath, "what do you really want?".
"I'll get straight to the point then", said Magneto with a sigh, "i want to know exactly why you helped that..traitor a few days ago. You could have left him to the Black Womb".
"Why is he a traitor?", asked Wanda, "because he told me what both you and my poor excuse for a brother wouldn't?. Besides...i couldn't just leave him there".
"Don't tell me you care about him?", said Magneto with a chuckle, "my dear, you could do better than that".
"I couldn't care less what happens to him, okay!", snarled Wanda, "i just helped him so that snot nosed snake-girl wouldn't get one over on me, okay?".
"Good, you had me worried for a second there", said Magneto with a smirk, his eyes flicking upwards, then back to his daughter.
"If that's all you want to know then leave", said Wanda, staring at Magneto.
"Okay, goodbye for now Wanda", he said getting up.
Even if his daughter hadn't seen it, he had seen a certain frog-boy making his way over to where they were. He also know Toad had heard it all.
"One less obstacle in my way", he murmered as he watched Toad leave.
A few hours later, Wanda returned home to a very angry looking Lance.
"What did you say to him now?", he asked.
"What!", said Wanda defensively, "say to who?".
"Toad", said Lance, "the guy just up and left. Muttered something about going to Avalon, where people care about what happens to him".
"He...left", said Wanda, trying to cover the utter dispair in her voice, then shrugged, "oh well, hope he's happy".
She started upstairs, fighting back the tears forming in her eyes. Why would he leave?. She had said nothing like that to him...but she hadn't said any different. Maybe he wasn't as persitent as she thought.
"I can drive you over to the airport", she heard Lance say from behind her, "you might still be able to catch him...if you want to that is".
A few short minutes later, Lance's jeep screeched to a halt outside of the airport. Wanda raced out of it and into the airport and ran up to the reception desk.
"Hello", said the attendant with a cheerful smile.
"Yeah, whatever", said Wanda, "look, has the flight from here to Manchester left yet?".
The attendant tapped on her keyboard and winced.
"They are about to start boarding people now", she said with a sigh, "if it's your flight, i'm afraid you won't make it in time".
Wanda sighed and looked at the micropone for the loudspeaker.
"Can i use that?", she asked.
"I'm sorry, but it's against regulations", said the attendant with a sigh, shaking her head.
"Please", said Wanda, "i have to stop someone from getting on that plane. If he does, i'll never forgive myself".
The attendant gave a sigh, then smiled.
"Well, if it's a mission of the heart then", she said, "but i'll probably lose my job over this".
"Thanks", said Wanda, turning on the mike.
Meanwhile, Todd was waiting to get boarded on his plane when the loudspeaker made a nasty noise.
"Oops, sorry wrong button", came a very familiar voice.
"Wanda?", said Todd, blinking...this was a surprise, but it was nothing compared to what happened next.
"Deep in Denialville. Tryin' to fight the way I feel"
Todd looked at the loudspeaker in surprise...was she singing?
"Don't even think about it, Don't go and get me started, Don't you dare drive me crazy, Don't do that to me, baby".
Suddenly, there was a scuffling noise and the sound of Wanda yelling at someone to give her the mike back.
"We appoligse for the inconvience", came a male voice, "please, carry on with your traveling experience...bloody teenagers, oh, this thing's still on?. Danm it!".
The loudspeaker went dead. Todd shook his head in disebelief...that was weird.
Meanwhile Wanda had escaped from the secuirty guard and was weaving in and out of the crowds at the airport, following the signs to the right departure gate. When she finally made it to the right one, Todd was nowhere to be seen. She ran over to the desk, the attentdant looked up.
"Can i help you miss?", he asked cheerfully, Wanda rolled her eyes, what WAS it with these people?
"Yeah", said Wanda, "has the flight took off yet?".
"Yes, it left about ten minutes ago, said the attentdant..
"No", said Wanda quietly closing her eyes, then she looked up to the attendant, "can't you call it back?. Stop it?. Anything!".
"I'm sorry Miss", he said, "but we cannot 'call back' our planes".
Wanda sighed and closed her eyes.
"Thanks anyway", she said sadly.
"Wanda?".
Wanda spun around to see Todd, his bag in hand, staring at her in amazment.
"Todd, i've been looking everywhere for you", she said, running over to him, "i thought you had gone".
"Yeah well, i was kinda wonderin' what all that comotion over the loudspeaker was", said Todd.
"Yeah... call it a mind lapse", said Wanda, "anyway, i've come to stop you, trust me, you don't want to get on the flight".
"Why not?", said Todd, crossing his arms, "ya said it yerself, why should you care?".
"Because i...do..care", said Wanda, she then walked over to the gate and stood in front of it, "look, Todd, i'm not going to move, so you'll have to go through me before you can board any plane. You're not leaving!".
"Why not?", asked Todd with a sigh, "it's not like i have anythin' in Bayville. Ya father hates my guts, so i doubt i'm welcome in the Brotherhood place anymore, and i can't really join the X-geeks. And you...you'll just want ta hunt down your father again. There's no reason fer me ta stay".
"We want you to stay", said Wanda, then sighed, "i mean...I want you to stay"
Todd blinked, surprised.
"Flight 359 New York to Manchester is now boarding", came the intercom.
"Deja vu", muttered Todd.
"Todd?".
Todd looked up to see Wanda.
"Please?", she said.
He sighed, he looked at Wanda then at the departure gate.
