The music pounded so loudly that Angela thought her eardrums would break.
Her hands flew up instinctively to protect them from the pulsing rock.
"A bit loud isn't it?" asked Toad, half smiling. 'I'm not so sure I like this place.' she thought.
He pulled her toward a door located at the very back of the building, "C'mon. I want you to meet someone."
Speed looked at him incredulously, "So soon? Don't they want us to generally wait before we introduce them to.you know?"
Toad shook his head grimly, "Can't wait. This one knows nothing about him or us yet. I'm lucky I got to her before they did."
'What on Earth is going on here?' she wondered nervously.
He shoved open the door, oblivious to her discomfiture.
They walked through a long hallway until they reached a warehouse door, illuminated by a single light.
Finally, he turned to her, "Okay, Angela. I want you to meet someone. Be honest."
She blinked quickly, confused, "Okay."
"Good." He spun her around to face the door and then pulled her in.
The room was dimly lit, desk and chairs barely visible. As her eyes adjusted, she could barely make out two figures in the dark.
"Speed? Toad? Is that you?"
"Yeah. Its us." Answered Toad.
Angela was growing more nervous by the minute, who were these people?
Toad continued, "We have someone for you to meet. She's new in town and doesn't know anybody," he stressed the words 'anybody', for some odd reason, "And she is a mutant so.I thought that you might want to meet her." He stepped away, looking at Speed.
Speed looked at him and said sarcastically, "Smooth dude. Very smooth."
The figure that was most in the dark said, "Very well then. Follow me please."
Angela felt her uneasy feeling escalate even more.
The figure walked out of the door and was briefly illuminated by the light.
She looked at him closely and to her immense surprise, the figure was an older man, worn down by the years.

The figure walked out of the door and was briefly illuminated by the light.
She looked at him closely and to her immense surprise, the figure was an older man, worn down by the years. He led her to a smaller, well lit room. He looked at her and smiled warmly, "Please, sit down, Angela."
Her eyes widened, "How'd you know my name?"
He smiled benevolently, "I have my ways. Toad tells me that you have a mutation. Can you show me?"
"Okay."
'Weird,' she thought, 'why does everyone want to see my mutation?'
She walked through the table in the center of the room, "Satisfied?"
