Mutants of the Caribbean
Scene 16: Bloody Pirates
What Magneto and his crew hadn't seen while they were busy yelling about being cursed was who had taken Kitty away.
Lance had swum up next to where Kitty lay and took her to a row boat. Then he gathered up all the oars and had Kitty dump them overboard as he rowed them back to the Interceptor. When Lance got her aboard the Interceptor she frowned.
"Like, please, no more pirates!" She whined.
Lance sighed and nodded at Logan who greeted them.
"Welcome aboard Half-Pint." Logan grumbled.
Kitty's eyes widened, "Mr. Logan? Like, no way!"
Logan ignored Kitty and turned to Lance, with a worried look on his face.
"Hey Rocky, where's Toad?" He asked.
"He fell behind." Lance replied, grimly.
Logan sighed, "Stick to the code." He told the crew.
"Weigh the anchor!" Mystique yelled at the rest of the crew, "Hoist the sails! Move faster you slobs!"

Back inside the caves Magneto turned to Toad to ask a question that had been dying to get out.
"How did a little slime-ball like you manage to get off that island?"
Toad smiled, "You forgot one thing when you ditched me on that island, yo?"
Magneto gave him a quizzical look.
"I'm Captain Toad Tolensky."
Magneto frowned, "I won't make that mistake twice." He turned to his crew, "Brothers, you all remember Captain Toad Tolensky? Kill him."
As Magneto turned to walk away and the crew readied their weapons Toad thought quickly for one last life line.
"Her blood didn't work, huh?" He asked.
Magneto growled and turned back around.
"Hold your fire!" He yelled to the crew before turning to Toad, "You know whose blood we need?"
Toad smiled, "I know whose blood you need."

Kitty sat below deck talking with Lance and trying to wrap her injured wrist in a bandage.
"What sort of person, like, trades someone's life for a ship?" Kitty asked, getting frustrated with the bandage.
"A pirate." Lance answered, and then saw Kitty's trouble with the bandage, "Here, lemme help." He took her hand in his and started to rewrap her hand.
"Like, thanks." Kitty whispered, moving closer to Lance.
Lance turned, his eyes meeting Kitty's. He quickly turned his attention back to bandaging her hand.
"Why did you tell Magneto your name was Alvers?" He asked, breaking the awkward silence.
"Like, I dunno." Kitty answered. She jumped when Lance's rough hand rubbed against hers.
"Sorry," Lance apologized, "Blacksmith hands, I know they're rough."
Kitty looked at Lance, "No, like, I mean yes, like, they are but…." Lance returned her gaze and she blushed, "but don't stop."
Lance moved his hand to pet Kitty's cheek, "Kitty…" His hand came to find a necklace chain. He pulled the medallion out from where Kitty had hidden it and stared.
"It's yours." Kitty said noticing the way Lance was staring at the coin.
"It was a gift from my father," Lance said, transfixed by the medallion, "I thought I'd lost it…" His gaze left the coin and met with Kitty's, "Why did you take it?"
Kitty quickly looked away, "I thought you were, like, a pirate." She looked back at Lance, "That would have been, like, totally icksome."
Lance looked away from Kitty, "They didn't need your blood….they needed Pirate's blood…my father…my blood…"
Kitty took Lance's hand, "I'm sorry Lance…"

Back on the Black Pearl, Magneto looked at Toad with mild amusement on his face.
"You expect me to sit on an island with nothing, but a name and your word that it's the one I need, and watch you sail away on my ship?"
Toad shook his head, "No, I expect to leave you sitting on some island with nothin' while you watch me sail away on MY ship and then I'll shout the name back to you, yo?"
"Still, you expect me to sit on an island with nothing, but a name and your word that it's the one I need?" Magneto rephrased.
Toad eyed the apples on the table, "I'm the one that hasn't committed mutiny, so my words better 'en yours, yo?" He took a nice shiny apple, "Although, I should thank you for ditchin' me and takin' all the curse for yourself." He took a big bit of the apple, much to Magneto's disliking, "Funny lil' world isn'nit?"
Erik growled but was interrupted by Creed walking in.
"We've caught up to the Interceptor." He informed them.
Magneto smiled, running out to the deck to see the ship for himself.
Toad hopped after him and stuck his face in front of Magneto's telescope.
"Hey, Magneto, I have a great idea."
Magneto put his telescope down, annoyed.
"You run up a truce flag and I'll hop over to the Interceptor and get your medallion back, huh?" Toad suggested.
"That's the attitude that cost you the Pearl, Toad." He looked at the apple Toad still held and snatched it away, "People are easier to search when they're dead." He turned from Toad to his crew, "Lock him in the brig."
As the crew dragged Toad away Erik looked sadly at the half eaten apple. Then finally giving into the fact that he couldn't taste it he threw it over board.
