Angela paused, thinking, "Fine. Keep him here."
A cry of shock and outrage went up at her offhand suggestion.
"What? You don't want him to go, so keep him here."
Toad looked at her and wavered, "I don't know."
Wanda stepped forward, "Take charge for once you big baby, Toad. Let him stay. Maybe we can find out why he claims to be her brother."
Troy stood up indignantly, "Excuse me? Claims to be? Angela, tell them who I am!"
The Brotherhood looked at her expectantly.
Angela laughed, "Who you are? Hah! You're a pathetic little spy from the x-geeks."
Hurt, anger, and disbelief flashed across his face, then his dignity returned and he smiled, "We'll see about that, sis."
Fred hoisted him over a shoulder and tossed him into the basement, locking the door.
Troy yelled upstairs, "Is this the thanks I get for tracking you through 3 states?"
Angela froze, then walked upstairs to the second floor, pretending not to have heard him.
The next day, Wanda passed a plate of food under the door while Angela leaned on the wall nearby.
Troy's sarcastic voice floated up, "Oh, do I get food now? I thought I was a 'spy'."
Wanda yelled back," Just because you think that we're 'evil' doesn't mean that we're gonna starve you like some barbarian."
Troy was silent for a moment, "You can't keep me down here forever."
"Oh can't we?" questioned Angela.
"No, you see, I didn't come looking for you by myself. Kathy came with me."
Angela was momentarily stunned, "Kathy? As in your girlfriend, the mutant Kathy?"
Troy's voice was tinged with a note of triumph, "That's the one, the one who can break the law of gravity for an area of up to 50 miles around her, although she normally does it on a local scale."
Wanda was confused, "Break the law of gravity? Can she fly or something?"
Angela shook her head, "No she can make it like outer space and put everything in freefall."
"Oh."
The front door opened and Magneto and the 'Acolytes' walked in.
Toad grinned, "Good, I didn't think you'd come, yet."
Magneto was all business, "Where is the prisoner, now?"
Toad jerked his head toward the basement, "Down there, should I let him out for you?"
"Yes. Perhaps we'll get something out of him."
Wanda unlocked the door and held it open, "Ya goin' or what?"
Magneto walked down the creaky stairs, followed closely by Angela and the Acolytes.
