Mutants of the Caribbean
Scene Fourteen: How'd Toad Get All That Junk
Lockheed sat perched on the mast of the Interceptor.
"Dead men tell no tales." He crowed evilly.
Logan looked over the side of the ship and shook his head.
"Many men, and mutants for that matter, have been claimed by this passage."
Lance shook his head and looked up where Toad was looking at his compass.
"How'd Toad get that compass?" He asked.
Logan looked over at Toad then gestured for Lance to move in closer.
"Not a lot is known about the Toad, there, before he came to Tortuga wantin' to fetch the treasure of the Isla de Muerta." Logan whispered, "That was before I met Stink-Boy. Back when he was Captain of the Black Pearl."
"What?" Lance asked, shocked, "He never even mentioned it."
"Well," Logan continued, "The bub keeps quiet about a lot of stuff now. Stink-Boy learned that lesson the hard way. Ya see Rocky, three days out the first mate comes to him and says if everything'd gonna be an equal share then that should mean the location of the treasure, too. So, Stink-Boy gives up the bearings. That night there was a mutiny. They ditched Stink-Boy on an island to die but not before he'd gone mad from the heat."
Lance looked back up at Toad, "So that's the reason for the…" He mimicked the way Toad walked.
Logan shook his head.
"Reason ain't got nothin to do with it, bub. When they marooned Stink-Boy on that island they gave him a pistol with a single shot. It won't help much in hunting or being rescued. But after three weeks of starvin' and dehydration that pistol starts to look real nice." Logan mimed pointing a gun to his head, "But Toad made it off that island and he's been savin' that one shot for his mutinous first mate."
"Magneto." Lance filled in.
"Yup." Logan nodded.
"How'd he get off that island?" Lance asked.
"He waded out to the shallows and waited for three days and three nights 'till the sea creatures stopped noticing him. Then on the fourth day he roped two sea turtles, harnessed them together and made a raft." Logan said.
Lance raised his eye brow, "He roped a couple of sea turtles?"
"Yup." Logan nodded.
"What did he use for rope?" Lance asked, clearly not believing this tale.
Logan opened his mouth, then closed it looking confused.
"My tongue." Toad said walking up behind Lance and Logan, "Me and Lance are goin' ashore."
He and Lance walked over to the row boat that was ready to be lowered into the water. Logan followed.
"What if somethin' goes wrong?" Logan asked.
"Stick to the code." Toad answered as he got into the small boat.
"Right," Logan nodded, "The code." He watched the Captain and Lance row toward what Logan knew quite well could be their death.
