Don't ask me why I included Scott in this chapter...because I really don't know. But I once again thank everyone for the great reviews, I never realized how many Toad fans there were out there in fanfic land! So I guess I'll humor you all by updating as soon as my muse decides to work with me!

Scott always found it to be calming and relaxing to walk the halls before morning classes. Of course this was a Sunday and there would be no classes but never the less he insisted to himself that he enjoyed the silence while it was still an option. Folding his arms behind him he lazily walked up the stair case in the front hall taking the time to stop and glance out a window every so often. The morning predicted stormy weather, and rain clouds from every distance were beginning to settle around the area. He sighed before continuing his exploration. Looks like it's going to be a dreadful day.

The parking lot was all but quiet until the sound of determined footsteps found their way into the pavement. The sound echoed throughout the underground parking lot and sent slumbering birds flying threw the air.
Colin stopped and examination the area before cornering the small elevator.
"What do you know?" He asked the man standing patiently in the corner. He tossed his cigarette carelessly on the ground stomping it with his faded boot.
"Someone saw a suspicious looking mutant with your sister's description at the department store on abbey He stole a red GMC and headed south."
Colin seemed to register this information by nodding silently. "There isn't much up there besides the city."
"Look man, if this guy hasn't made any demands then it's doubtful he still has your sister-"
"Either way...I want justice." Colin replied to his friend as he turned swiftly.
"There's rumors that theres a school up there you know!" He called after his friend. Colin stopped dead in his tracks and listened.
"It's suppose to be for mutants but everyone says it's a training facility for the runaways."
Colin pondered this a moment before heading back to his own car. He sighed as he though of the silent promise he had made to his estranged father just a few hours prior. He floored it as he left the parking lot, heading South.

Robert violently threw the phone across the room. His daughter hadn't even been gone a day and still every new station with the state had beyond called for an interview. Along with the men he knew as business associates.
He shuttered to think that their children were missing as well.
Julie Barbaric in all her grief managed with a police escort to reach his home in attempt to confort his wife along with finding some sort of mutual feeling herself. Even now he could hear the two woman talking to shushed tones upstairs although he did hear a cry or two now and then he knew neither of the women had the strength to take it for much longer.
Attempting to leave his house was without a doubt stupid the second the media got wind of this they parked themselves outside his front door just hoping to get a cut of the grieving parents in their moment of worry and tragedy. Yet despite all the unwanted excitement Robert couldn't help up feel rage boil in his veins most of all. He smashed the phone further with his heel causing a swift pain to enter his foot yet at that point the protest of relief was well beyond his reach and he knew their was no point in trying.

Sarah held the shaking woman in her arms desperate to block out her tears that she found to seem fake and unrealistic. She was almost jealous of Julie for having anymore tears in her, for Sarah couldn't fin anymore in her eyes. Instead a sense of helplessness entered her mind and guilt, rage, and pain flooded her mind.
But still she could no longer cry.
She rolled her head to the side as she saw a picture of Eva not more than a year ago, her hair flowing in the breeze, her smile in readable beyond her beauty. And despite her crooked teeth at the time Sarah smiled. She wasn't a religious woman but this was time where she certainly wish she had something to believe in.

Two sleeping forms rested somewhat peacefully as they lyed in exam room 2 in the medical lab. One lye in her cot, another rested his head on her bed but he was quickly jolted awake at the feeling of someone touching his shoulder.
"Didn't mean to startled you." Said Jean. As she quickly removed her hand at his uneasiness. He ignored her however and turned to the sleeping figure in front of him. She was still pale, but her breaths seemed more frequent now, and the faint lines on her limbs were beginning to fade away.
"She a fighter." Said Jean at his unasked question. "Looks like most of the infection left her system but she'll probably still be under the weather for a while yet." A loud crack of thunder hit the property at the end of her statement.
"Speaking of the weather..." She mummer under her breath. Walking away Toad finally turned around to witness her walking away looking at charts of some kind, her glasses on buried in unnecessary work.
Toad stood up despite the protest in his bones and stretched somberly. He frowned as he approached the window. An uneasy feeling entered his stomach... Something was wrong. But before he could explore that thought anymore the sound of a soft groan entered his ears. He immediately turned his attention to the girl in the bed as he patiently waited for her to wake up. Slowly but surely her eyes began to flutter open and he couldn't suppress the feeling of relief that gushed through his.
"Wha-what happened?" She managed with difficulty.
"Nothing to worry about." He lied with a less than convincing grin. She looked like she was about to say more but she closed her eyes again and remained silent. Toad thought she had fallen asleep again but suddenly and without warning her memory of the previous day's events came flooding back to her.
She flew herself out of bed. A sharp pain entered her side forcing her to cry out. She was surprised to see a attractive redheaded woman enter the room with a clear look of concern on her face.
"Wha-whats going on? How did I get here? Where is here?" She turned her head in both direction as if expecting answers to hit her in the face. Sitting down next to her Jean answered all her questions with a calm disappeared.
"You were attacked, you were infected with the abnormal virus, he brought you here, and your in a medical facility in Westchester New York." Jean stopped her explanation to let the information sink in.
"What about my parents?!" She screeched with concern.
"Their fine!" Said Toad. And it seemed like Eva unglazed his presents for the first time in the last several minutes.
"What happened yesterday?" Eva asked quietly towards him. Jean silently removed herself from the room again and the two were left alone.
