AN: Well, everybody, I'm back with a new chapter! I'm so sorry that it's been so long and the chapter is kinda short but I've been having personal problems to deal with and well, yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhh... This chapter we get introduced to a beloved obsession from youth that gets carried over to today...mwahahahaha. I really liked it! Now, on to the review responses!
Invader Nina: Lol, I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter. I also liked the mix of fluff and angst.
Togepi4eva: I'll try and find you some examples of when Pietro talks all uber-fast like that. I can't think of any off the top of my head right now though. The X-Men will be making a short guest appearance near the end of the fic, but not the Acolytes. They're in another story that I'm working on ^^. Thanks for the compliment! I'm glad you think that it's good thus far, and I plan on updating it more frequently from now on.
Maika: I'm very happy that you liked the way Todd and Morty were portrayed in this chapter. I always fancied the idea that I wrote a decent Toad. I'm not sure about making her a mutant though. Maybe she could just have a dormant X-gene like Juggernaut did in the beginning...*starts thinking, then realizes she has to finish this* The crisis did turn out fine, thanks. Although they never seem to go AWAY!!! *starts cursing Fate and bad luck/Karma*
Me :) : Lol, this is the chapter were you discover that 80's toy! And I plan on having a lot of weird but fun moments with them in this fic too!
Devil_Raptor, Pietro, and Todd: Actually, bringing statues to life would be a pretty neat-o power! Buts thanks for the compliment on Jeff's power. I just sorta figured that it would work since I had made him a street musician and all. Pietro, I'm not quite sure if that was a good Holy shit' or not, but I'll take it as a good thing ;P. And Todd, I'm sorry you lost your floppies! *hug* I hate it when that happens! And thanks for bein' proud of me! *^^* I feel so special...
Alright everyone! Onto the chapter!
Chapter 7: Fucked Up Girl
I'm sorry, Todd...I'm so sorry... she muttered as Todd set her down on the toilet.
Shaddup. Lemme find the peroxide, he replied while he looked through the cabinet.
Morty sat, cradling her charred and mangled hand, trembling as she watched her brother collect rags to use as bandages. As Todd cleaned her arm he was silent, knowing that his actions were enough to communicate his remorse.
...I'm slippin' away, T.T...
Todd looked at Morty's downturned face, What you mean?
I'm losin' my mind, she said in a deceptively calm voice her gold eyes glassy and unseeing, My head ain't right...it's broke or something. It feels like someone's been pulling my brain apart since Jeff died. Morty turned to look at her brother, Todd...I can't see right. I see shit dat ain't there...just now...it was...awful... Monsters, demons, blood..I dunno how much more I can take. Jeff was the only thing holdin' me togetha'... I can't wait anotha' week...I'll kill myself by den...
Todd put his arms around his sister and began rubbing her back, like she was an infant, before he closed his eyes. And don't I mean nothin' to ya? he asked softly. Don't it mean anythin' that I ain't never gonna leave? I'm gonna take care of ya, Kid. Don't you ever say you gonna kill yourself again... He pulled away and they stared at the other, I need you, yo. You can't die...for me.
Morty blinked away what was left of her tears and nodded. I promise, T.T. I won't say it again, she said, her voice thick from crying. Todd smiled at her reassuringly before changing the subject.
...I got yer room ready, yo, last night. After you was asleep. You wanna see?
The pair walked down the hallway and Todd opened the door at the end of the hall, opposite of Pietro's room. I wasn't quite sure what all ya liked, he said, walking toward the window blinds, but I think you'll like dis. As the light flooded the room, Morty's eyes widened. The room had two beds and seemed to be divided down the center. The left side was very gothic and, by the amount of belongings, seemed to be for the previous tenant, while the right side had been painted green with a small matress on the floor, a few stuffed animals, a lavender, stained carpet remnant, and a rickety old dresser with a mirror and a lamp propped on top.
While Morty walked around her half of the room, looking intently at the objects, Todd began talking nervously.
I'm sorry if ya hate it but I didn't know what colors you liked or anythin' so I just took what I could remember from when we was little. So if you don't like somethin' just say so and I'll try and fix it but I was kinda short on time and I had to steal most of this shit from cheap sto-
I love it!
Say wha?
It's great! she exclaimed, twirling around the room. It's so fuckin' cute! Yer the best! she giggled before hugging Todd. When she let go, Morty noticed Todd smirking.
Well...I also lifted ya a gift last night. Somethin' that ya used to love.
What is it??
Todd hopped over to the open closet, put something behind his back, and hopped back over to Morty. he chuckled, holding out a small, winged blue horse with chartreuse hair to his sister.
**********
Bayville Police Department, how may I assist you?
I'd like to report a stolen item...They stole her!!!
What was stolen sir?
A mint-in-box My Little Pony that's what was stolen!!!! I paid $475 dollars for her! Oh...my poor pony...
**********
Wonder how she's doing... Lance mused after having set up a small black and white TV so as Pietro and Freddy could watch Bold & The Beautiful'.
No fucking clue, man. Just so long as she NEVER does that again. It was scary as hell... Pietro replied, before muttering, Brooke! You whore!
I dunno guys, maybe we should go see if her and Toad need any help... Fred began to say before he was cut off.
WWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! MORNING GLORY!!!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was at that point that the remaining three Brotherhood boys decided that it would be best to stay put.
AN: The title for this chapter came from a song by The Vandals by the same name. It's actually a very sweet song. This guy is singing about how his girlfriend is legally insane but he loves her enough to keep suicide watches for his little fucked up girl'. I thought it was rather appropriate since she was talkin' about killing herself.
And we finally meet that 80's toy obsession! That's right y'all, Todd gave his little sister a stolen My Little Pony! And that price, I actually researched it. A mint-in-box Flutter Pony (like Morning Glory) with her wings and all can sell for $475 - $500 bucks! *has a heart attack* Isn't that messed up?? God, I used to love those things...*digs out her own Morning Glory and giggles maniacally* Once again, you are mine and you are my favorite! Hehehehehehe... *notices the audience* Oh...yeah.... Ummmm, I'll be sure to update soon! *goes off to play with her ponies*
