Lalala...my last chapter sucked. Lets hope this ones better. Forgive me for not updateing...this whole week had been...blerg!! Just...man...I think I have an ulcer blerg!
Lance stood dumbfounded, unable to speak. Toad though,(who by now has a hospital gown on) had sprung from his bed leaping onto Lance tackleing him to the floor."LANCE! YOURHERE!MANIWASSCARRED!!DOYOUKNOWHATHAPPENEDTOME!?"Toad was speaking a mile a minute, while he cried hugging him. Lance had his arms wrapped around Toad in a sort of daze. He suddenly seemed to realize what was going on and broke down crying. He hugged Toad to him sobbing loudly and saying Thank You over and over.
"Yo man, your freakin' me out....st..stop crying!" Toad said, though he too was crying.
"Shut the hell up! Do you have any idea how worried I was Tolanski?" Lance said sitting up, and shakeing Toad, all the while still crying.
Toad looked into Lance's teary face and began to cry harder. "I'm sorry man...we still buddies right?" Lance let out a sigh and hugged Toad harder. "Course...you little bas*ard...I ought to beat the liveing tar out of you though."
Logan was smileing at the two when he rembered a very important thing. Toad had broken his leg. He scooped Toad up and growled, "Little pest...Your legs busted. That means no hopping? Does it hurt?" Toad nodded,and Lance notticed the cast. "Oh God." He stood up, and watched as Logan carefully lay Toad down. "You have to stay still. Because of your mutation you legs will heal faster than others, but you move around too much not only will your leg not mend, I'll kill you. Do we have an understanding?" Toad nodded sheepishlly. "Sorry Mr. Logan Wolverine sir." Logan fluffed Toad's hair. "Logan or sir. Pick one kid."
Lance was about to open his mouth when a wool blanket was thrown over him, and he was set on a bed next to Toad. "Stay here. I gotta go work things out with Proffesor X.Earthqauke, watch Todd. Don't let him move." Lance frowned at Logan, "Its Avalanche. Not Earthqauke. Or you can call me Lance." Logan nodded. "OK Lance." "Hey, does Magneato know hes here?" Lance asked as Logan began to walk off. "No, and that bast*rd never will, if I have anything to say about it." "Thanks."Logan just heard as he closed the door. He smiled too himself and walked away.
Lance meanwhile had joined Toad on his bed and held him tightly. "God...Todd...I was afraid...afraid you were..." Toad smiled hugging Lance, "Nah...Logan helped me escape. Hes really great Lance, and he gonna take care of us, Yo! I begged him to go get you." "Didn't have to." Lance said resting his wet chin on Toad's head. "I know, but beggings my thing, ya know?" Toad said smileing widely. Lance laughed and wiped his eyes. "Good to hear you again. The bas*ards at the Brotherhood didn't even care...They...just..." Lance held onto Toad harder, crushing the boy to his chest. "But I care." Toad smiled tears dripping down his face. "Your the only one."
Lance looked down and wiped his tears away,holding Toad's face. "No I'm not.Todd, those scum care for nothing...Logan he cares for you. I defintly care for you. Your my little buddy!" Lance said smileing like a lunatic. "I ain't no Gilligan, skipper! (an: Gilligan's island baby...)" Lance shook his head, "Ain't isn't a word." Toad shrugged smileing wider. Lance hugged him again, when he realised Toad was shivering. "Oh f*ck. Stupid me..." Lance stood up looking at his soaked clothes.
"Theres more gown things over there."Toad suggested.
Lance nodded and immediantly began to stip.When his shirt was over his head he saw Toad had covered his eyes a red blush over his face. Lance smiled feeling flattered that Toad was decent enough to cover his eyes.When Lance had got dressed he saw Toad still had his eyes covered, and squirmed a bit uneasliy.Lance found this compleatly adorable and quietly snuck up to his unsuspecting prey...
Lance stood over the defenseless Toad, unawre of what was about to happen. Lance licked his lips smileing devishly. He watched the speciman with glinting eyes and----
GAVE TOAD A NOOGIE!!
"YO MAN! THATS JUS' NOT RIGHT!!" Toad whimpered trying to get out of the hug and noogi. Lance laughed in victory and held Toad to him eyes closed.
"You can let go of me!!"
"No Todd, I can't. I've thought you were dead for...oh maybe 12-15 hours. I have the right to hug you and be as emotional as I want!"
"You...Your crying..."
"Tell anyone your dead."
Toad looked up,and felt guilt wash over him as he saw Lance cry into his hair,again.Lance wasn't one to shopw so much emotion. Lance played a tough guy, I'm so cool, act around everyone. Toad knew better,his life was just as misrable as his own. Lance came from a broken home. His parents dead, his little sister in a foster home, and he liveing off others. Or he was until Mystique came and took him in. It seemed like everyone had their own sob stories in the brotherhood. Fred was abondaned, never knew his real parents, Pietro....well Magneato was his father. Thats messed up enough.
Lance sighed and looked down and saw Toad was watching him, his green eyes brimming with concern."Hey...none of that. These are...uh...this is corny,but these are happy tears got me?" Toad nodded, but didn't look convinced.Lance smiled and hugged Toad lightly, feeling just how fragile the teen really was." You need to eat more."
"So do you...your half starved, yo!" Toad said pointing out a fact about their unhappy home lives.Lance layed back pulling Toad with him and yawned. "I'm tired..."Toad nodded eyes already drooping.Lance laughed loudly at his friends sleepy face. "I take it your tired too?" "No...I'm awake!" Toad said barely aduriable. "Liar." Lance said rolling his eyes.
"Why don't you two sleep, then?"
Toad, and Lance turned their heads to see Logan leaning on the door frame. "Hey Logan." Lance said casully. "You two have been through a lot, why don't you two sleep. When you wake up you'll find new clothes for you, and you'll be welcomed to the the X-team. They don't know the whole story...but..." Logan hesitated. "We told them Todd was being abused, and Lance was all he had."
Lance seemed to awaken. "WHAT? HOW DARE Y-" "Its okay." Toad said still falling asleep on Lance's chest. "They would have wanted to know somthing anyway.Not like I could hide it forever."He yawned and then countinued. "Besides they just know I was abused...not what type."
"And if they ask you about it I told them they'd have 8 hours of training with me."Logan snarled protectively. Toad didn't hear him. He was asleep curled up on Lance, his hands gripping his shirt.Lance relaxed more in his pillow, and Logan wrapped the covers around the both of them. He brushed Toad's bangs, and then Lance's, away from their eyes.
"D*mmed hippies...you two need a hair cut." He smiled at them fondly and sat down, Lance watching him. "Your not going to hurt either of us are you?" Lance asked softly,and then smiled at Logan. "No kid. I may be rough around the edges but...you'll get used to it." Lance smiled and held onto Toad a little tighter.
"Night....you badger."
"I'll let that slide...next time I'll rip out your entrails."
"Bad visual." Lance yawned,but smiled his eyes closed. As he drifted off to sleep, Logan followed them a satisfied smirk on his face. For once all three would get enough rest. Somthing they hadn't gotton in a long time.
Lance stood dumbfounded, unable to speak. Toad though,(who by now has a hospital gown on) had sprung from his bed leaping onto Lance tackleing him to the floor."LANCE!
