Chap 6
= Telepathic thoughts for chapter 6 (Professor X) or mental thoughts
(Todd)
Normal POV
Tabby stood in front of the Iron gates of the Institute, wondering if she really was doing the right thing. I mean the Professor would be able to find Toady-boy with that Cerebro thing, right?
She sighed, why in the hell was she hesitating to either ring the buzzer or blow open the gate?! She gave a heavier sigh as she acknowledged she knew why she didn't want to proceed, what if they turned her away?
A small thought popped up in her head, "What if they refuse to help us find him, I mean isn't he still technically the enemy, even if they don't really work for Magneto anymore?" Tabby shook off her indecision and straightened her shoulders as she scolded herself in her head.
Pietro and Lance watched Tabby scold herself silently while they walked toward the Institute. Lance was the first to call out to her, "Hey Tabby, Whatcha doin' here?" T
abby had been so deep into her self analysis that she hadn't even noticed the two boys walking up to her, her head jerked up as she turned around an smirked at them, "Obviously the same thing you two are doing here, where's Blob?"
Pietro responded after suddenly appearing in front of the gate, "We left him back at the boarding house just in case, I mean he isn't exactly Mr. Diplomacy." Tabby snorted as she looked at the speed demon standing in front of her, "Like you and Rocky here are?"
As Lance was about to respond the three heard a voice in their head, the two Brotherhood members looked shocked but Tabby was used to it after her time at the institute, the Professor had always preferred getting them together using telepathy. Could you three please come up to the main house? I can tell we have much to discuss.
The wrought iron gate in front of the three teens slowly opened and they walked up the long winding path with equal amounts of nervousness, trepidation, and hope.
The Professor, Storm, and Wolverine met the three at the door; obviously they were on their territory now, and out of their element. Lance elected himself as leader since the other two seemed rooted to the spot and stepped forward, he swallowed his pride as he began to speak, "We need your help."
Pietro nervously bounced his foot and Lance suddenly found his shoes very interesting as the two brotherhood members and one former X-girl awaited the expected rejection. Instead what they found was them being ushered into the main office, luckily all the X-Men where off somewhere, so there was no one to see the enemy enter the base.
Wolverine and Storm stood on either side of the desk while the Professor took his position behind it, "So, what is going on that would make you three come here for help?"
He looked at the teenagers as Wolverine put in his two cents, he growled low in his throat, "This had better not be some trick, because if it is, it ain't gonna work."
Tabby looked up at the older X-Man she snapped as she gestured to the Professor, "C'mon Badger, doncha think that he would know if we were here on some ulterior mission."
Wolverine growled again but was silenced by Lance, "Look, we came here because we have no where else to turn and know that you are one of the few who would be able to help us, now will you?"
Lance sat back in the chair as he waited for a response from one of the three, Storm was the first to respond, "Why don't you tell us what the problem is first?"
Lance nodded and sat forward as he began to tell the tale of why they were there...
Todd POV
How long have I been here, seconds, minutes, hours? There is no clock or window, nothing to tell me anything, just this bright, glaring, surrounding whiteness. I growl at myself mentally as I shake my head, Goddamnit Todd, hold yourself together, you can survive!!!!
I just kept repeating this mantra to myself over and over and maybe I might start to believe it. I look up as I hear the door creak open, I have to hold myself rigid or else I know that I would shudder in fear of what is coming.
I glance up as far as I can with the restraints recognizing the expensive suit and shoes of my father, I hear him start to speak as he walks over and starts to pet my hair, "You behaved very well today, my little serpent. My buyers were most interested in breaking you, but I said that for the first time, the pleasure should be all mine, as you do belong to me."
He moves his hands down off my hair as he unlocks the neck restraint and puts one hand under my chin pushing my head up to look at him.
I try to shy away from the dark pools of hate that I know will be there, but he stops me and pulls me into a brutal kiss, biting my lower lip so hard that it starts to drip blood down my chin, I whimper in pain as he pulls back and whispers, "If you are good I may allow you some pleasure from this, obey me or I will make sure you suffer."
I can no longer hold back the shudders as they course through my body; pain, fear, and a dying of the hope I have always felt. I desperately hide away a little of myself, to save some of who I am.
The restraints on my wrists and waist are slowly undone, or rather being repositioned; once they were pulled away I immediately tried to push the man in front of me away. I looked down as I felt a sharp sting in my lower arm, he had used the opportunity to inject me with something.
I start to feel dizzy and out of place as a dark smile appears on his face, he grabs my hair and pulls me in close growling harshly in my ear, "We can't have you fighting on the way to my room, can we my pet? Now stand!"
I can feel my body obeying his words even as I fight within my mind, it is like I am no longer in control of my own body, I am merely a voice in an empty vessel. I can feel him quickly clip a brightly colored chain to the collar around my neck. "Come pet, it is time for us to go." Even as my mind screams out in agony and denial my body meekly follows his commands, no longer my own.
As we walk down a long hallway I can hear his voice floating back to me, saying things that make wells of tears appear in my eyes, luckily I am able to blink them back; I don't want to give him that satisfaction. "So serpent, do your enhanced gifts still work? We shall have to test them out won't we? It will be much fun for me, but I would assume it will hurt like hell."
I can hear the low chuckle that I hate so much. Never have I understood how my own father can hate me so much, it can't be because I am a mutant because I know for a fact that he is one as well. I can hear my voice whisper out a plaintive, "Why?"
My father stops dead in his tracks and turns around, hate heating his cold eyes, "What did you say?"
I whisper again, a little stronger this time, "Why Father, why do you hate me so?"
The flames of hatred in his eyes burned brighter then a thousand suns, I wanted to turn my head away, but I could merely stare blankly into the bonfire that burned in those pools of black.
He suddenly hissed out an answer as he stepped toward me, "Because you are a mistake, a stupid mistake made by a stupid woman, if it were not for you Leliya would never have found out I was a mutant." His voice morphed and changed into one I remembered only in dreams, my mother's "Dear God Reginald, what have you done? How could you want to get rid of our son? I don't care if he is a mutant, he is my blood!"
I noticed he let the voice drop as he continued, I was thankful I had hated hearing the voice I loved out of a man I despised. "The stupid bitch didn't seem to understand the fact that if people knew I was a mutant it would ruin me! She used that fact against me and forced me to keep you, though it may have been good for you turned out useful in the experiments I was having conducted. Maybe I should have thanked her, oh well, I was glad when she finally died; it took to long and then you got loose. But you are back now and there is no one here to stop me, you are mine now, FOREVER." With this he turned back around and continued walking down the hall my shell following him as my heart wept for a woman only remembered in fantasies.
