A loud crash echoed from the building, "What the-" he exclaimed.
The metal doors burst open and Speed came flying through the air, surrounded by a blue light.
"AIYEeeeeeeeeeeee.." Speed's shriek pierced the night. As soon as he hit the ground, he started running as fast as he could toward the parking lot. He jumped into his car and tried to start it unsuccessfully, "Oh man, oh man." He whimpered, trying in vain to start the car as a figure walked out of the warehouse. He looked up, "Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!" He screamed as he caught sight of the figure. He cast about desperately, looking for help. His eyes fell upon them, "Save me, please!!!" he whispered.
"Hop in, " said Angela, who already had her engine running.
The figure ran closer as Speed jumped into the car fearfully.
Toad revved the engines and sped onto the highway, leaving the figure to shake their fist at them.
When they had gotten a safe distance away, Angela turned in her seat and asked, "Who was that?"
He looked at his feet and mumbled something.
"What was that?"
"I said it was my sister, Wanda. I.I er.borrowed her car for the day.and she got really upset for some strange reason." he trailed off, embarrassed.
Angela smiled inwardly as Toad whipped around looking very shocked, "Wanda?" he screeched, "That was Wanda?"
Speed looked at him strangely, "Yeah, so?"
Without another word, Toad spun the car around and headed back toward the warehouse.
Speed's eyes widened, "Hey man, what are you doing? Hey! Don't be going back there! She'll kill me!"
Toad smiled grimly and continued speeding back.
Speed turned to Angela, eyes wide with fear, "C'mon! Don't let him do this to me, please! You don't know what she'll do to me!"
Suddenly, Toad stopped the car, "Because you're my friend, you have 5 seconds to get out of the car and run the opposite way. If not, I'm taking you back to Wanda."
Speed didn't waste time talking, before Toad had finished, he was out of the car and running away from the warehouse.
They watched him go, snorting with laughter.
He pulled back onto the highway.
Angela managed to stop laughing for a minute, "Is he always like that?"
He laughed, "Pretty much."
Angela flicked on the radio, "Who's Wanda?"
He hesitated indefinitely, "Um, an old friend."
This time it was she who raised her eyebrows, "Just a friend?"
He flushed a little and looked at her defensively, "Well, just a friend now."
She smiled, "I see. Hey, what time is it?"
He looked down at his watch, "9:30."
'I hope they don't do bed checks or anything.'
He pulled into the Institute's parking lot and parked.
As she opened her door, she thought of something, "How will you get home?"
He smiled her at concern, "I have my ways. Don't you worry about me now. Go in before they get worried."
She stepped out and caught her keys that he tossed her, "Bye."
Angela turned to walk inside. When she reached the door, she turned around and he was gone. She opened the door and headed down to her room. She took a deep breath and walked in, trying to look normal.
"Where have you been?" demanded Kitty, "I was getting worried!"
Angela smiled reassuringly, "I went to do a little sightseeing and got lost for about 3 hours."
Kitty smiled back, looking very hyper, "Okay! Hey! I've got an idea! Maybe I could show you around town! And, maybe I could drive?" she asked hopefully.
Angela laughed, "Maybe."
The metal doors burst open and Speed came flying through the air, surrounded by a blue light.
