Mutants of the Caribbean

Scene Ten: In Denial On The Ocean

The waves crashed with a steady beat upon the Interceptor's bow. Captain Toad Tolensky was at the helm keeping a sure course, while Lance managed the rigging. For a while neither one had spoken. Toad was mainly concentrating on the job at hand, but Lance's mind was troubled.

"You know when I was younger, my mother had to raise me by herself. After she died, I came out here, looking for my father." Lance stated try to trick Toad into revealing what he knew about Lance's father.



"That so, huh?" Toad asked seeing through Lance's attempt at being cunning.

Toad's apparent lack of interest only served to make Lance angry. "My father, Dominic Alvers. It was only after you heard my name that you agreed to help me. I'm not stupid, Toad. You knew my father." Lance shouted accusingly getting almost no reaction from the Toad.

"Yeah, I knew him. One of the few that knew him as Dominic Alvers, yo? Everyone else just called him Avalanche." Toad said at length.

"Avalanche?" Lance asked with a look of confusion strewn across his face.

"Good mutant, good pirate. I swear he had powers just like yours." Toad responded with a slight smirk.

"It's not true!" Lance shouted as the waves turned choppy for a moment as if something had shaken the ocean bottom.

"No, really, he shook the ground and everything." Toad explained as he managed the helm until the waves returned to their former tempo.

"My father was not a pirate." Lance growled threateningly as he drew his sword.

"How will my killing you prove he wasn't a pirate?" Toad asked with a bemused look on his face.

"I would have killed you if you hadn't cheated." Lance declared sternly.

Toad smiled. "No reason for me to fight fair then." With that said, he whipped out his tongue and caught Lance by the ankle. Then Toad swung Lance up into the rigging, so he was hanging face down by his knees.

"Now as long as your just hangin', listen up. The only rules that really matter are: what a mutant can do and what a human can't do. Now, no human has ever served under Captain Toad Tolensky. So, the question is, can you?" Toad asked of the rather stunned looking mutant, but Lance nodded solemnly enough as he sheathed his sword. "Good, now on to Tortuga." Toad proclaimed as he lowered Lance back down.

As soon as Lance was back on the deck he asked the new thing on his mind straight out, "Tortuga?"
