Hey guys thank for the reviews, (I've never been so happy about threats before) But anyway I'd just thought I share with you guys that I do go back to school this week so don't be surprised if my updates are a little less frequent than usual.

The doorknob made his fingers feel solid and steadied his trembling fingers. Toad attempted to ward off the dizziness that echoed around him, but he couldn't deny the inconvenience that came with that. He sighed deeply before entering the familiar office and stepping into the oak doorway.

"Hello again." Said Xaiver as he gestured to a seat, not taking his eyes off the newspaper in front of him. Toad hesitated before taking the seat only now noticing the tense muscles at the back of his knees. The old man looked up at him and smiled.

"I'm glad to hear Ms. Jackson is feeling better." Toad nodded slowly and sniffed but still continued to keep his eyes on the floor. Somehow words didn't quite seem necessary. Silence touched the walls and dragged itself on the teal carpet. The professor turned on a small television that sat in the corner of the ceiling. Toad glanced at it in annoyance but couldn't push his ears away from the words that came from the lady newscaster's mouth:

"...Eva Johnson's condition is unknown at this point, but police officials from all over the state have been looking for her for several hours since early yesterday afternoon when she was strangely kidnapped from her front yard while waiting for a friend to arrive... Rumors that the FBI have become involved are circulating but it is unsure as to what precautions the authorizes are taking to catch the mutants involved..."

The television was soon shut off after that statement and as Toad looked up he suddenly noticed that the older man had lost the shine that almost always seemed to be in his eyes.

"They'll be looking for you Mortimer...I can tell that you wish to protect her but this situation is becoming harder and harder to control. It might be best to just find-" The professor stopped talking suddenly and Toad observed a identifiable look of worry cross his face.

"...Someone's here." Was all he said. A feeling of dark deeds about to happen entered Toad's head as he saw what the professor saw. His eyes widened in horror as he quickly retracted himself from his seat and took the steps two at a time to the medical lab that he had just left, he could hear the old man behind him calling the names of his precious x-men and giving out orders.
When he opened the exam room he found Eva already up and pacing the room impatiently as if extremely annoyed that she was alone.

"What in the hell is going on?" She asked at his arrival. "That one woman just left practically running down the stairs and everyone is running to their rooms and locking doors and windows..."

"We have to get out of here." He said hoarsely before examining the scene beyond the windows.

"Wait a minute I don't understand, explain this to me!" She said the panic becoming clear in her voice. He didn't respond instead just grabbed his jacket and took her hand.

"I have to get you out of here." He said with such a stern tone that she didn't question him again. Instead she let him lead her down the halls and past the dorms and through the main staircase. She struggled to keep up with his longer legs and soon found herself running out of breath and her legs soon became unstable beneath her.

"Wait!" She stated to him but her complaint was interrupted by the sound of a distance pounding on the main entrance doors that Eva hadn't really noticed before. They stopped several feet in front of the door and each stared at it in silence before the pounding became louder, and before either of them could look for another exit the sound of glass shattering entered their sight. Eva found herself yelp at the sight of the plate glass windows shattering above them but what surprised her more was Toad's eagerness to cover her with himself and push to towards the back of the room where which he left her there. He didn't say anything before he left just covered his head to avoid the deadly glass that was now covering the entire scene and leaving nothing in it's mercy.

He knew he didn't have much time before they entered so with hesitation he had thrown Eva to the side in hope's that she would stay their and be quiet about it. But no sooner did he enter the main hall did he hear the sound of the entrance being broken down and the distinct sound of yelling from an unfamiliar voice.

"We just want the girl!" Screamed one voice another followed repeating himself. The two other's that were with him seemed to agree and stood behind him in guard looking out for their friend. They were greeted by silence and Toad found no reason to change that, instead he stood clinging to one of the rafters above them trying to hold himself from sneering at the broken glass that was making its way into the palm of his hand.

Eva stood up at the demands the unseen intruders were making. That voice sounded fimilar...but no it couldn't possibly be the voice that she would secretly talk to on the phone on holidays? But then again were they talking about her? Well of course they were, it was a school for mutants after all and she guessed by now people were probably worried and looking for her...but Colin?

"Colin?" She asked coming out of the shadows. The response was nothing but unusual of her brother as he opened a grin and put down the gun she now noticed he had. He walked towards her and placed a firm grasp around her forearm. Expecting her to follow he was surprised to feel her wrestle her way from his grip and stop him in his tracks.

"What in the hell are you doing here?" She yelled. He appeared confused at the statement but answered her anyway.

"Here to take you home what in the hell do you think? Come on Eva we have to get out of here those freaks could attack at any second..."

"You mean defend themselves?!" She protested gesturing toward the floor now glittering with broken glass.

"We don't have time for this come on!" He said grabbing her arm. But this time she had more difficulty getting out of his grasp.

"Let go of me Colin! You have no right to be here, besides I'm fine I don't need you coming in here destroying building and ruining people's homes. Just get out!"

"I agree." Said Toad before he shot out his tongue that knocked out the gun from Colin's hand and did a back flip landing perfectly behind Eva. Slightly shocked at the sight Colin was forced to let his sister go.

Eva crossed her arms defensively and pushed herself away from the grim of hate she saw growing in her brother's eyes.

"You get away from my sister, freak!" He stated with an unsaid threat as he snapped his fingers and had his friend's weapons pointed directly at him.

"This is enough!" Stated Eva with a furor that neither man knew she possessed. She stepped in front of Toad only inches away from his chest, Toad marveled at that after everything she had been through her hair was still shiny and smelling of melon. Yet he didn't get time to savor that moment before Eva spoke again.

"Look Colin I appreciate your concern for me and I realize what it must of taken for you to come here and everything but quick being so god damned closed minded and assuming things about people!" The look of vengeance entered her face as she turned to face Toad.

"And honestly I have no idea what's been going on here but all I do know is that I'm tiered and I want to go home...OK? That's all. No one here is going to get hurt or killed! Just be mature about this and don't resort to violence. Colin? You came to take me home, so take me home!" And with that she threw her hands up in the air and headed for the broken door not realizing the creatures that lay beyond them.

And the second she stepped outside was when Toad remembered that her brother wasn't the only thing the professor was worried about...
