So far I think I'll name her Deidra, (thanks Kaminarimon!) but since her
name isn't mentioned in this chapter either, I may change it to something
else if I like it better. Short, sorta just to tie the last chapter up.

When Toad brought Chameleon to the brotherhood house, there was two things he didn't take into account. The fact that he was supposed to be in school, and Mystique. "What are you doing here?!" she screamed. Wanda came down to see what the commotion was. Much to her satisfaction, it was about Toad. She decided to stay and listen. Toad cowered under the blue mutant's wrath. "Com'on boss lady(1). I came with a reason yo. Gotcha another *ahem* lost soul." He hopped out the door and returned momentarily with Chameleon in tow.
*That woman, the one in the red long coat. She looks familiar. Should be careful around her. I remember this blue one too. From where? She's like me. somehow.I can trust her, I think. Oh what have they done to my brain?*
Mystique regarded the new arrival with annoyance. "Who is this? Are you sure she's one of us? Do you have any idea what the consequences are if she's not a mutant? Do you realize what could happen to us? DO YOU REALIZE?!" she screamed at the now very pale and cowering toad. Chameleon coughed softly, turning Mystiques head. "WHAT." She said, voice dripping with venom. Chameleon just removed her sunglasses and stared at the shape- shifter. Mystique took a step back. There was something about those eyes was familiar. Something deadly familiar.(2) "Well then, I suppose that answers THAT question." She said cautiously. "Toad if you would lead our new friend to the spare bedroom." Toad scratched his head. "Uh, we don't got no spare bedroom yo." Mystique wanted to choke him, but she knew it was right. "Very well" she said agitated. "She can have your room. You can sleep with Fred." Toad was about to protest violently, but decided it was better than letting Wanda getting to the new girl if they slept in same room.
Wanda, meanwhile, was regarding the mutant with curiosity. She thought that the girls eyes looked familiar as well. But it was hard to remember much after Wanda had been, unknowingly, wiped of her memory and given a different one in replace of it. She shrugged off the feeling and went upstairs. No was going to get HER room, that she was making sure of.
Toad showed her to his room, cringing slightly when she opened the door. The room was an utter mess. "Ah, sorry bout the mess yo. I've been meanin to clean it but." She smiled at him. "It's OK, I like it. Very warm and cozy." "Really?" Toad asked, amazed. Everyone was always griping how his room smelled, how it attracted flies, and other things. He guessed that since her mutation and his were a tad bit similar, they had some things in common that most people didn't. "K, I'll be down the hall if ya need me. Just holla ya know?" with that he hopped off to go make room in the blob's room.
Chameleon watched him go, a content smile on her face. She went in to the room and closed the door. A few seconds later however, a someone knocked on it. Opening it, she found Wanda holding a stack of clothes. "Here," she said, rather unkindly. "I figured you would need something to where other than that. These are some of my old clothes, they may fit you." She obviously wasn't trying to be kind, but Chameleon was grateful non-the- less. "Thank you." she said. "It means a lot to me that you all let me stay here." Wanda snorted and walked away, clothes on the floor. As she rounded the corner, she let the emotions she was feeling wash over her. Fear of this new mutant, anxiety about what she could do, and most of all, though she hated to admit it, jealousy that Toad obviously cared for her.
**************************************************************************** ************** 1) Toad called Mystique something like boss lady in one of the episodes.
I'm not sure exactly what it was, so I took a guess. 2) Just pointing out the ironic double meaning of that phrase "Deadly
familiar"
