She stood up numbly and walked out the door. She suddenly stopped dead in
her tracks, turned around and walked back in, "I just remembered something,
er.Magneto. I don't know how to get back to my dorm from here. Can you
give me directions or something?"
"I'll do better than that. Toad! Speed! One of you get yourselves in here!"
Speed got there first, with Toad right on his heels, "What up, boss-man?"
"Do you know where she lives?"
"No way man! Toad brought her!"
Toad stepped forward, "Guilty as charged. C'mon."
She nodded and followed him out of the room.
As he led her back down a hallway that she didn't recognize, he asked, "So, what'd he have to say?"
She looked at him, "Other than the fact he showed me how to lift metal things and run really fast? Not much." Angela frowned, "He asked me some really confusing things, though."
"Like?" he prompted.
"Like, 'how do you think humans treat mutants? And, do I ever want to get revenge on them.really weird stuff."
He smiled comfortingly, "He asked me stuff like that when I first met him, too. You get used to him eventually."
'I'm not so sure that I want to get used to your boss.' she thought.
But what she said out loud was, "Did Magneto tell you about what happened in that room?"
"Not really. I mean he told me that you exhibited signs of my power but other than that nothing."
She looked away, uncomfortably.
Toad looked at her with a strange look on his face, "Will you tell me about it? I never thought that anyone else would have my power."
Angela looked up into his piercing eyes and gave in to his pleading look, "Okay. I was showing Magneto how I walked through the table when I suddenly felt very hungry. I noticed a fly buzzing around the room and suddenly, a long tongue shot out of my mouth and snared the fly. Well, needless to say, It scared me pretty badly.So, I jumped backwards and went flying into the wall because I jumped too far and hard, not realizing that I would jump as far as you. And, then I woke up here."
He looked at her with that strange look again and Angela felt an odd tugging at her heart as she met his gaze. "Well, here's your car." He said softly, "You want me to drive?"
"Okay," she replied just as softly.
He held out his hand and she tossed him the keys.
"I'll do better than that. Toad! Speed! One of you get yourselves in here!"
Speed got there first, with Toad right on his heels, "What up, boss-man?"
"Do you know where she lives?"
"No way man! Toad brought her!"
