Lance waited for Magneato impatiently. 'If that son of a bi*ch has harmed Toad...' He growled at his own thoughts. For some odd reason Lance had taken a likeing to the little teen. Especilly since he found out what Magneato had been doing to him. That was why Lance had gotton a job. He'd saved enough money for Toad to take a plain ride out of bayville. Lance had a few extra dollars as well for him, but Toad used to be a pick pocket. Somehow Lance knew he'd be able to survive.



When he heard the door shut with a bang he rushed hopeing Toad was there. When ever Toad came back from being alone with Magneato he'd hop over to Lance and cling to him, like he was a life line. But all Lance saw, to his dismay, was Magneato. "Where are the others?" "Out." Lance said coldly. He hated the man who stood so smugly in front of him. Everything he'd done....how dare he look so proud!?



Magneato and Avalanche had a glareing contest, until Magneato calmy turned away."Well heres a message for them. Toad was killed in battle today. It should be on the news. Find his body and get rid of it." He coldly stated and walked out the door, as Lance fell to his knees. "No...God...no..." He whispered, his throat tight. He slammed his hands down on the ground, causing a small earthqauke and sobbed, "NOOOO!!"

The ground cracked below him, and he bagan to sob loudly.He would not move for the rest of the night. When morning came and the others heard the news, they were shocked, but none really seamed to care. They shrugged and helped Lance to his room.

Lance was the only one that cared.He starred at the ceiling as the morning light filled his room. Questions with answers, he couldn't get, filled his head. He slammed his pillow in his face. He hated himself. He let this happen! He should have gotton the money for Toad sooner!

"Toad....I'm so sorry!" He began to sob again.

No one would hear him cry. And no one would care. In the Brotherhood, they said they cared.In the Brotherhood, it was said you'f make your best freinds there.That was a lie. The only ones that cared about each other, were Toad and Lance. They where the only real members of the Bortherhood. And now....it was gone. All gone.

~Earlier that night~

Beast examined his new patient, under the watchful eye of Wolverine and Xavier. The boy lay nude on the hospital bed, so he could see all the damage. "Well the broken leg was done tongiht...as well as the cuts...but the bruises..the fractures....and internal bleeding have been there for at least a week. Weeks possiably! Hes not leaving this bed tonight, and I suggest he stays in bed, for at least, the weekend."

"Hank, is the damage easilly fixable?" "Yes, But what worries me is the old wounds." He turned to look at them, his furry face dripping with concern. "He has had many broken bones, fractures, bleedings. He has burn marks that could only come from cigarettes." Beast rubbed his tired eyes, "Not to mention the internal scars."

"What?" Logan asked growling. "Logan...this boy was harrased. Abusivlly *and* sexaully. He may have even been raped...and I don't doubt it judging by the bruises on his thighs." Xavier placed his hand over his eyes. "My God...I never thought Magneato...was capable...of ...Todd will have to stay with us." Xavier said sternly. "Yeah, and I'm going to *kill* THAT SICK BAS*ARD!" Logan snarled and stabbed the wall next to him.

He was furiouse. Toad was just a child! A baby almost! Magneato could be his great grandfather, for crying out loud! "Logan, you need to calm down." Xavier said patting his friend's back. "Toad chose you to open up too. Hes going to need to know your there for him."

Logan pulled his claws out of the wall and slumped in a chair.

"Charles...why does this shi* happen?" Logan gave a low sigh. "Why does anything happen? I don't have the answers,no one does.In the meanwhile, You need to find out if he was raped. Hes going to need a lot of therpy,and the first thing we can do is get him to open up." Xavier wheeled over to Toad's bed and pulled a blanket over his body. "For now...lets let him sleep. God only knows, how much he needs it."

Xavier headed for the door. "I'm going to talk to Jean and Scott. They'll be able to understand and exsplain to the others," Logan looked up sharply. "Don't worry Logan, I won't tell them everything. That is Todd's buisness alone." Logan nodded and pulled his chair by the sleeping form.

The tough guy act, the-I'm-cool-and-love-to-be-bad-look had faded away from his face, and all that was left was what he really was. A scarred little boy. Pain was etched on his face, along with fear, and an undeniable innocence. He looked truely younger as he slept. Logan reached out to wipe the bangs away from his eyes. Toad wimpered and tears trickled down his face. "No ones going to hurt you here. Your going to be fine."

Toad shook his head, while he slept and muttered, "Please...no more...don't touch me!" He was sobbing. Logan, began to pat his hair, and watched in surprise, as instant releif appeared on his face. "Mom..." He muttered in his sleep. Logan nearly jumped out of his skin. He looked around, praying to God, no one heard Toad call him "mom".

"Your lucky no one heard that kid!" Logan sighed. He finally realized just how tired he was and drifted off, slouched in his chair. If he'd been awake he would have woken up Toad. His nightmares were just beginning.

************dream flashback.***********

Toad was listening to his CD-player in Lance's room. These days it was the only place he felt safe. Lance was wrapped up in a towel getting ready for a date with Kitty. Toad only stopped listening to his music when Lance brought out two suits.

"Which one Toad?" He held up a green outfit, and a blue one.Toad smiled at the green one and pointed at it. Lance smiled, rolling his eyes, "Why did I know you'd pick the green one."

"Greens my favorite color yo, least its not buttermilk yellow!" He said holding his hands in front of his face. Lance turned red. "Its not buttermilk yellow!" He growled storming into the bathroom. "Its sunshine yellow."

Toad burst into laughter falling off the bed. His laughter stopped when he felt someone yank him up.His eyes opened, and he felt sick as he saw Magneato's face, his hement was off for once. "Hello Toad." He said calmly and smirked.

Magneato's hands were placed firmly on his butt, and he had Toad pressed up against him. Toad was small compared to Magneato,and barely went up to his chest. Toad panicked.'No...not here. Please....' he thought closeing his eyes.

Magneato bent down and nipped Toad on the neck. Toad new why he did this.Because he was weak, because he couldn't fight back. If Magneato had a choice he'd be going after Lance, maybe even Pietro. But, Magneato was smart, he'd gone after Toad. Someone who wouldn't be able to fight back like the others, someone who could easilly be taken.

And that was him.

"Hey Toad-Magneato." Toad opened his eyes to see Lance now in baggy pants, and starring at where Magneato's hands were. Magneato only calmly starred back. "Toad is coming with me, he has a job to do." Toad looked peadingly at Lance, and Lance began to make a move for him.

But Magneato had already dragged him out the window and they were off.Where Toad was taken he wasn't sure, but he was tossed on a bed with little care, and instinctavely curled up into a ball. Magneato grabbed his wrists and pulled Toad to him.

With out even a word, he began to kiss Toad, frenching him hard. Toad whimpered and whispred faint no's, but this seemed to only fuel Magneato. His hands roamed Toad's body as the little teen whimpered and cried. Tears would not save him. They never did.

He gave out a scream as Magneato grabbed his crotch. "NO!!!" He sobbed, only to hear the mans sick laughter. "Shh...Toad...let me take you.You'll find you might like it."Toad struggled crying harder. His pants were forced off him as he was grabbed roughly on his hips, nails cutting his skin.

"PLEASE STOP!" Toad screamed. Magneato reached for his boxers and-

~~~~****~~~****

"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

Logan jolted awake as Toad's scream filled the air. He quickly had Toad in his arms rocking the boy. "Hey...your okay now...your okay." Toad had been holding tightly to himself, but once Logan picked him up, he let go and hugged him. Toad's frame was so small Logan could've wrapped his arms around him twice. He looked down at the sobbing boy in his arms, and watched as his tears streamed down his face.

"Todd...your going to be okay. I'm here now."

"Whateva'! How long you gonna stay? A year, a month or maybe a week like my folks."The boy sobbed. Logan hugged him tighter and pressed his cheek to the top of his head. "I'm going to be here all the time. I'm not going to leave like all the other di*k heads. God help me, if I don't maul Magneato..." he seethed.

"I s...saw him...dreamed of him...it actully happened though...and...I...I have to freakin' live it over inside my head."Toad sobbed burrying his face in Logan's Wolverine costume, he'd neglected to change out of."Your safe now. You'll always be safe here. I can promise you that.I'm gonna take care of you kid."

"Why?"Toad asked shakeing.

"Because...you remind me too much of me. Like a son I never had, forced to go through what I suffered."

Toad went silent."Thank you." He wasn't sure what he was thanking him for, but whatever it was, he sure was grateful. Logan held the boy, surprised about just how true his words were.

Toad calmed down and took a deep breath. "Lance...we gotta bring him here." Toad said suddenly scarred. "He must think I'm dead! Tha...thats what Magneato pro-" Logan shushed him. "Lay down.I'll get him in the morning. Its barely 5 a.m." He helped Toad lay down. "You've been through a lot Todd...just concentrate on getting better."

Toad nodded quietly. "But...what if those nightmares come back, yo? What am I gonna do?" Logan seemed to think about it and lifted Toad up, not minding the only thing he really had on where bandages, and crawled in with him. "I always find it easier to sleep peacefully when theres someone with me. Just rest against me, and I promise you won't dream a thing."

Toad nodded falling asleep soundly. And you know what, he was right.
