Landon walked slowly along the dark deserted street searching for the one
who'd contacted him about a new cause. It had now been seven years since the night
in the police station. He'd stayed alone and hadn't allowed anything to come between
him and his dream: To make normals pay for what happened to him and Candra.
"I was waiting," a figure speaks up emerging from the shadows. "I had
something to do first......"he answers,"Are you the one who sent for me about the
letter?" He holds up the annynomous letter he'd recieved earlier that night as the
figure slowly nods keeping his face covered. "Yes, you seem as if you'd be good for our
group." "What group?" "The Brotherhood of Mutans....or the new Brotherhood of
Mutans as we're forming." "Explain to me how you people can help me," Landon
demands keeping his guard up in case the figure tried anything. "You have very good
gifts and I know about what happened when you were a child." "How do you know
that?"he demands as the blades come out in defense. "We've been watching you...tell
me will you jion us?" "I want to check this thing out first, then maybe..."he says as the
blades go in and he slowly carefully follows the figure toward an old apartment like
building. "Before we move on what is your name?"Landon asks stareing at the cloaked
figure in front of him trying to see their face. "I'm not allowed to say, but call me,
Toad,"the figure says as they enter the building and he is led to a room toward the top.
"Alright......."his words stop as he notices the people gathered around,"What is this?"
"This, Landon, is the Brotherhood of Mutans...."Toad answers finally dropping the cloak
so his features could be seen fully. After introductions Landon moves toward the door.
"Where are you going?" "You don't own me. I owe you no explanation,"he replies to the
one called Saber before hurrying out into the night.
A new destiny....a chance to belong.....should I take it?he asks in thought to
himself. If it's what you want, Landon, a voice sounding inside his head says sounding
familiar. He stops then speaks recognizing the voice,"Candra?What you died in the
fire!" No, I didn't. I ran before the fire.....she answers in his mind as he leans against
the wall for support. "You can't be alive. It's not possible,"he repeats falling to his
knees as the voice continues. I'm alive; I'm waiting for you. We'll be together again,she
whisphers in his mind as he covers his ears. "NO!You're dead!You're dead!" he
repeats over and over until the voice is gone. Is it actually possible? Only two bodies
were ever found....he asks these questions silently standing to his feet and turning
toward a bar and entering. Landon sat off from everyone after ordering a drink and
watched waiting for something to happen. "Landon, I didn't know you were here," a
voice speaks to his left jarring him from his thoughts. He turned to face Toad, who
wore his cloak once more to cover his strange looks. "Hello, Toad....if you're here to
pressure me about a decision I don't have one yet." "Take as long as you like....we will
wait," Toad speaks before vanishing out the door. "I seriously need therapy now,"he
mutters.
Candra, are you there?he asks knowing it was probaly just insanity. Yes,
what do you need?she replies in his mind as before. "These people called the
Brotherhood want me to join them but should I?"he asks aloud walking along with his
eyes downcast. I can't make that decisions, but there is a group called the X-Men
who would help you as well, she answers against his mind. "Well, I believe since I
haven't met them I'll go with the Brotherhood,"he answers changeing directions to
head back toward the Brotherhood HeadQuarters. "I have a decision,"Landon speaks
the second he enters the door as they all turn. "I will join, but no one tells me what to
do or controls my life....If I want to be alone leave me the hell alone, If I want to kill
something then stay away,got it?"he asks purposefully crossing his arms over his
chest. "Deal, as long as you carry out orders your rules will be respected,"Mystique
nods watching him. "Good...now explain about these X-Men,"he says settling himself
against the doorframe. Landon had found his place, he had his mission, but the time
was not up, there's was a still a final fate awaiting him........
