Todd Tolinsky watched as everyone prepared themselves to leave. They were all to meet in the hanger, where they would depart to rescue T.J. He had been just as shocked as the rest of them to find that she had gone missing, and he knew that her captors were nothing but bad news. His anger rose as he thought of Magneto and Mystique. They had caused Wanda so much pain. Well, they would pay, he would be sure of it.
His thoughts drifted to those old days with the Brotherhood. They were good times, even though life was much more comfortable at the institute. But back in those days, Wanda was his. Sure, she didn't think so, but at least he had no real competition. It wasn't like there was much competition now, anyway. Wanda was Kurt's, and there was nothing he could do about it. And as much as he hated to see the love of his life with that fuzzy gecko, he was happy for her. She was so happy with him, that Todd could look past all that. He loved her enough to be able to accept them together. And, in actuality, he had grown closer to Wanda than he had ever been. Not the closeness he would have preferred, but still, it was better than nothing.
But just because he accepted them together, didn't mean he had to like Kurt. He still didn't get along with the guy. Well, they never really tried to get along. They just, didn't like each other. It didn't matter that they were now teammates. The tolerated each other enough to work together when needed, but otherwise, they really couldn't stand each other. It had been this way since the Toad had joined the X men. Todd had been one of the last to join. He didn't exactly like the idea of joining. He didn't have the motivation to join that his comrades did. Lance had joined because of Kitty, Wanda and Pietro because of a vendetta against their father. He had just kind of followed Wanda. And of course, continued his pining and flirting. And she continued her ignoring and angry responses. But she started to come out of her shell while there, and just seemed happier. Todd loved it, until he found out the reason for her turn for the better. Kurt. Toad, just like the rest of the inhabitants of the institute, saw this as a passing thing. No way Wanda really had feelings for that weirdo. So Todd continued his advances. That is, until she became pregnant. When he heard that news, his world was shattered. He knew that she would never return his affection now.
But knowing this let him step back and take a look at his "baby cakes". She was barely the same person that he had known when they first met. So much more full of life. Her heart seemed lighter. While he hated Kurt for taking her from him, he was so glad that Kurt had had this effect on her. She was just so much better now than ever. And when Talia was born, well, Todd had never seen Wanda so happy. T.J.'s birth was one of the most amazing things he had ever experienced while living at the mansion, or actually, in his entire life. Suddenly there was this beautiful little baby living there, and this really had an effect on him, as well as all of the X men. He had fallen in love with her immediately. But a different kind of love than what he had for her mother. He loved her like a daughter. He was her "Uncle Toad" as she affectionately called him.
He made his way to the hanger. He looked around as he entered, and saw Wanda and Kurt. They stood in a semi embrace, a mixture of heartache and anger on their faces. Todd had never seen Wanda look so sad. And he hated it. The rest of the X men made their ways in, some going over to the couple, giving them words of encouragement. But it obviously took no effect on them. Toad just stood and observed. Pietro and Rogue had made their way over to their siblings and were offering their strength to the situation. Todd sighed in slight jealousy. He wished he had family like that. But he had his friends, and that was nearly good enough.
The X men had finally all assembled. The stood quietly, awaiting the Professor's instructions. The weight of their mission hung heavily. This was unlike any mission they had gone on before. It was utterly important that everything be done as planned. Magneto was very smart, and could easily slip away from them, with Talia. This was something that they would not allow to happen. They owed it to T.J. and the owed it to Wanda and Kurt not to let that happen.
The Professor then entered the hanger, and the X men listened as the plan was outlined.
Ok, hope you all enjoyed it! Especially Todd Fan...is it what you expected?? Yes, Toad still hates Kurt. And he still loves Wanda....kinda feel bad for him, eh? Well, I'm sure he'll find love, just maybe not in this story. Remember to review!!
