Chapter 13: A Hostile Captive

Daddy... daddy...

I'm in the lawyer's office. Daddy wants me. He doesn't hate me! He holds me tight, and kisses my head. I'm wanted.

I'm in Daddy's workshop. He said I'm not broken. He loves me. Daddy loves me no matter what. We just sit there and cry. I'm loved.

I'm in my room. Cyclops is attacking Daddy. Daddy's hurt. Daddy needs me to help. I jolt Cyclops. I win. I'm needed.

I'm in the hangar. I'm yelling. Daddy's trying to apologize. He never meant to hurt me. I scream and jolt. I didn't mean it, Daddy! I didn't mean it! I want Daddy! I love Daddy! I need my daddy!

"Da...ddy?" mumbled Doria in her sleep, crying softly, "I'm so... s-sorry..."

Beast looked down at her as he tended to her shoulder, which had taken the brunt of the fall. Thankfully, Kurt had caught her before she made a full impact. He felt resentment towards her- a Brotherhood member, but at the same time was sympathetic to the young girl that cried for her daddy. Nobody was quite sure what the story was behind Toad and Doria. Scott wouldn't say too much other than that she was his daughter.

"How is she?" asked Logan, walking into the medical room.

"She dislocated her shoulder, and there's pretty bad muscle bruising to her upper arm. Mostly, though, it's her head that's a major factor now. She overloaded on her powers. She'll be really out of it for at least a week."

"All this from a little fight with her dad?"

"Shh. She's been mumbling about him." Beast motioned for Logan to listen.

"D-Daddy? I didn't... m-mean it..." Doria stuttered through silent sobs.

Logan's face softened. "Poor kid. She talked at all about her mom?"

"Nope. Still no sign of who the mother is."

"Bet ya anything it's Mystique. She'll do anyone, I swear."

"Shut up about Mystique," said Doria forcefully, not even opening her eyes yet.

"Morning Sunshine!" said Logan playfully.

"Why the hell am I here? I don't hang around with shit like you. Get me the fuck out of here!" She started to sit up but then grabbed her head and moaned.

Beast was off looking at charts somewhere, but Logan looked on at the young girl with amusement. "Does your father let you walk around with a mouth like that?" He knew it was a mistake the moment it came out of his mouth.

"Dad! Holy shit! Shit, shit, shit! What the fuck happened to him? What did you do with him!" She closed her eyes to send out a pulse to find him, but the second she tried she was back in dream land.

l-l-l-

Five days later, Doria's condition had much improved. She was moving around and could spaz out without any problems. Her shoulder had been popped back in place, and she brushed off the muscle bruising as nothing. Beast was pretty impressed. Her powers were still off limits for the next two days, but they were already starting to talk to her about Storm.

"You have to help her!" exclaimed Cyclops. He was sitting on a couch in one of the living rooms. "She's dieing! You don't want to be responsible for someone's death, do you?

Doria looked at him, blown away by his ignorance. "Are you serious? I'm a fucking assassin! 'Do you wanna be responsible for someone's death' Honestly! I've been killing since I was ten!" She shook her head.

"Come on! Show a little pity."

She turned on him angrily. "Show a little pity? Show that EVIL weather bitch PITY? What, like she showed my DAD pity at liberty island! I've heard all about her little brush with PITY. The bitch sees a guy hanging over the Hudson by his tongue and she fucking STRIKES HIM WITH LIGHTNING!" She put her face up to his so that they were eye to eye, and whispered, "Do you really think she deserves my pity?"

He pushed his forehead against hers in an aggressive manner. "You know what this means."

She pushed back. "What? You're gonna brainwash me? What ever happened to the right to my own thoughts?"

"There's a life on the line."

"People die every day. That's how it goes. Facts of life, Skippy."

"You're being a bitch. Don't call me Skippy."

"Don't call me a bitch, pussy."

"Asshole."

"No balls."

"Whore."

"That's ENOUGH," cried Xavier. He seemed rather dismayed. "Scott. I'm surprised at your behavior. Miss Toynbee is our guest and I will not have you two using such offensive language towards each other!"

"Well you know it's true about his balls..." she muttered. Doria was pissed and feeling rowdy. She may have had to stay there, but she didn't have to be nice about it. "Say, Chuck, are you paralyzed completely from the waist down?"

"ZAP." Cyclops gave a warning glance.

"Miss Toynbee, your rudeness is completely unacceptable. I see your father has failed to provide a proper role model for you."

She flipped. "My dad is a FINE role model! Don't you EVER diss him in front of me! You may feel safe with your little geek guard on patrol, but man if you're lookin' for a beating..."

"Miss Toynbee-"

"STOP CALLING ME THAT! WHY ARE YOU SO GOD DAMNED POLITE ALL THE TIME! IT'S FUCKING ANNOYING!" She chucked a vase at his head. He narrowly dodged it. "I HATE IT HERE! I JUST WANNA GO HOME!" The green-haired girl stomped out of the room, and slammed the door.

"Wow," said Scott, "I've seen Toad do that exact same thing."

"So," said Charles, turning to Scott, "is it really true?"

l-l-l-

She stomped up to the room they gave her. There was no point in keeping her in a cell. She couldn't use her powers, and all the X-Men were right there.

On her way up the stairs, she bumped into Wolverine. "Woah, Doria!"

She shoved her middle finger in his face. "FUCK OFF!" She ran up the stairs to her room. "AND THE NAME'S ZAP, ASSHOLE!" She slammed the door.

She panted with rage. How DARE they treat my dad like some sort of joke! I bet they just sit around laughing at us and talking about how they're gonna make us miserable next! She picked up a lamp and chucked it at the wall. It felt good. Rogue opened the door a crack only to have an alarm clock thrown at the door. It was closed immediately. She tore things out of the drawers, leaving the drawers on the ground. She chucked anything breakable at the wall , and just trashed the room as much as she could. She panted some more, and then started sobbing. She fell to her knees in the middle of the floor, and just cried her eyes out. Oh, God! Daddy! You probably think I hate you! I love you! I don't wanna be like these people! The last thing we did was fight! Daddy, I need you to come save me! But her daddy couldn't hear her, and she knew it. She had to get out herself. She didn't know how, but she had to.
