Jennmel: yeah... Pyro is gonna be an ass for a chapter or too. You know how he likes to be the center of attention.
Yes.. Were all imaginative aren't we. I gotta go look up amphibian names. Perhaps the scientific term has a nickname hidden in it somewhere:Looks it up: Unless were calling her Bufo I think were going with Frog...
Hehe... Yep! Frog is the new name! Course I sure as hell ain't calling her Bufo.

On my tour through the building I realised that these guys seemed to have a steriotypical evil villians lair. But I didn't say anything. Pyro kept shooting me jealous glances everytime Mort said something to me. Which was alot because it didn't seem like he cared much for Pyro. When he showed Pyro his new room, he kicked it open, leaving a visible boot mark. It took every fiber of me not to laugh as Pyro glared and stomped inside it to brood. I smiled. "Thanks for the tour, Mort. This place is huge..." He grit his teeth. "Don' call me Mort." I cocked my head to the side. "Why not?" "None of your business..." He stomped off leaving me confused.
I went back to my room and sat there for a while, thinking about what Mor- no Toad, had said. What was so bad about his name? With a sigh I got up and cautiously opened my door. Why, I don't really know. I headed down the hallway into what Toad had said was the Gameroom. It really housed a big TV a pinball machine and a soda machine. And a sofa but other then that it was pretty bare. Before actually walking in I peeked my head through the door rather slow. Inside Toad and Pyro were, well I would actually call it fighting in low voices.
"So, Toad, I can tell your not exactly fond of me." "Now wot gave ya tha' idea?" Toad's sentence dripped with sarcasm. "I dunno... Maybe because you treat that, Serah kid with more respect." Toad sneered. "She's a girl... Men don' need respect now do they?" Pyro pulled the lever on the Pinball machine, letting it go he watched the ball bounce as he said. "Well, Mort, it would seem to the untrained eye that you LIKE here..." He barely finished his sentence when Toad flipped around and grabbed him by the collar, shoving him against the wall. "If you ever... Call me MORT again, you won' live to see eighteen... Got it?" "Righto, Toad..." He dropped him.
I pulled my head back out as Toad stomped out. He looked at me with my mouth open, glared, and turned around tromping off. I looked back in at Pyro on the ground. He looked up at me. "My real name is John by the way." I raised an eyebrow and left to find Mystique. Maybe she understood this more then me. I looked back once to see Toad pause in front of his door, glance at me, then walk in. I shook my head and went off.
Toad
Bloody wanker... He better stay offa my back or i'll kill 'im...
I gotta say it now while I can, I hate Pyro. I really, really do. Little git dosen't know when to bugger off. I do feel like an idiot for just walking off without explaining to Serah. But tha's probably cause I like her. Cor I'm goin' soft. Or crazy. Perhaps both. I think it may be the latter.

I found Mystique in the kitchen scrounging for a soda. "Hey, Mystique?" She stood up straight. "Yes?" I paused. "Do you know why Toad dosen'y like to be called Mort? I saw him flip at Pyro... Then he told me not to call him Mort. It's confusing." Mystique sighed. "I don't know all the details. Mortimer has never told me. All he said was his parent's abandoned him as a baby with the name Mortimer Toynbee. he grew up in an abusive orphanage until we got ahold of him." She shrugged. She seemed to notice my shocked expression. "Yeah, all of us grew up in a pretty bad environment. I don't know about Sabretooth, but most of us had bad childhoods." "Thats horrible! I thought I had it bad!" "What happened to you?" She had started her search in the fridge again.
"My parents put my picture on the news and they have me on the wanted list." I sighed. "Ouch." "Thats nothing compared to Toad, I understand why he wouldn't want to be called Mort. Thanks Mystique." She smiled at me. "Call me Raven." "uhm, ok. Thanks Raven." "No problem."
Hey look, I think I made a new friend!
Oh god this is sooo freaking short... Sorry for the shortness people. I forced myself to write this cause I wasn't in the mood. Eh... Enjoy it anyways!
And the whole Pyro thing, I think hes cooler as a villian to to his teammates, it makes him seem cool! All slimy and mean.. it gives him a cool personality!
