And so... My faithful reveiwers, it comes to the end of the story. This is indeed that last chapter. But, by the way it ends we'll see...

Sequel? Or no Sequel? That is the question.

Anyway, I just saw Corpse Bride and I am rather miffed at the ending. I really wanted Victor to marry Emily... Oh well. Other then that, people, go see it, it rocks. Tim Burton rules and so does Johnny Depp. BUT RAY PARK DEFEATS THEM ALL! >

Ahem.. I don't own the Brotherhood or the X-Men.

Anyway, TIME FOR ANSWERS TO THE REVEIWERS!

blueSkiezrusty: Uhm... THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU THINK TOO MUCH! YOU HAVE BEEN OUTSIDE TOO LONG! > Seriously though, the thought never even crossed my mine Magneto would have done that to his entire lair. But I guess that now he will have to do a little remodeling eh?

Gremblin: You really think it's good? I dunno. I'm also working on another Brotherhood fic... I have about three different Ideas for stories... > ugh... My muse is working overtime...

Anyway, ENJOY THE FIC!

Serah

I hung around in the Medical room... Thing for a while longer, just until my ribs healed up. Then I was back in my room, sleeping on the lumpy mattress. Laying there I thought over my plan a bit more. I had a feeling they wouldn't like it. Well, perhaps Pyro and Sabretooth wouldn't care much, and maybe not Magneto, but Raven and Toad would. They were my friends yeah, but I felt this was the right thing to do. But... How would they react to this?

It was the next day when I packed up my stuff and went to find the others. I found Raven sitting in the rec room. "Hey, Raven?" "Yeah..." She was reading. "Do you know where Toad is? I need him to take me somewhere." "Where?" "Well... That's just it. I'm leaving." Her head shot up. "What? Why?" She saw my bag and stood up. "I've caused you guys too much trouble. She put a hand on my shoulder. "No you havn't. Sabretooth and Pyro enjoy fighting, Magneto, well, I don't know much about him, Toad, he likes fighting too, and he and I wouldn't like it if you left." "Yeah... But, i've hung around too long. I need to get out and do something. I can't just sit here waiting for a fight to come along. Besides, what if Xavier comes after me again? I don't want you guys to have to save my butt again." I grinned weakly. "It's rather embarresing." She smiled lightly. "Well, it's your choice. You gonna say goodbye to the others." "Nah. I hate prolonged good-bye's." She sighed. "I'm gonna miss having another woman on the team... Now all I have is sweaty men..." "Oh don't make me feel guilty..." She led me out to the hangar to find Toad.

His reaction, was actually, well, quite amusing. His mouth had dropped to his feet and his tongue was literlly lolling on the floor. I giggled at his even wider eyes. "Wot? Your not really leavin'? You can't." Raven had disapeared, where too, I didn't know. "Well... I am. So you think you can take me to the mainland?" He lifted his jaw and tongue and sighed. "Sure. Hop in."

It was a few minutes before we actually started to talk again. "So... Your really leavin' then?" "Yeah." "Why?" I shrugged. "Time to get moving I guess. Can't stay here forever." "Why not? You could be a part of th' team." I thought for a moment and sighed. "No I can't. I can't fight, Truthfully, I don't want to fight anymore. And I bet you anything Magneto won't just let me live there without me doing SOMETHING." he paused. "Your right." Nothing more was said for a minute. Then. "So where you gonna go?" "Dunno... I might actually head back to my house, see how my parents are doing. Scare them a little." He and I laughed weakly. "But really? What am I going to do? I dunno. I'll figure something out. I know now to be more careful in New York city. Maybe i'll head to New Jersey." "Tha' sounds good." It sounded forced. Like he was only trying to make conversation to avoid silence.

We didn't speak the rest of the way to the mainland. Neither of us had much to say, I guess. Alot of things ran through my head.

Why exactly does he keep glancing at me? Trying to remember my face? He looks like he wants to say something... Why dosen't he just say it? Ugh... Men are such dorks. What exactly AM I going to do? I didn't think this out much did I? I never do... But I can't turn back now. Risk's are worth taking. ... Most of the time.

I sighed as he landed. He looked a bit like he was doing this against his better judgement. With a pause, I hopped out of the Helicopter. "Well... See ya 'round?" "Yeah. I guess." I started walking away, but I stopped as I heard the door close.

Dear lord forgive me and save what little sanity I have left...

I turned around. "Mort!" The door opened and he leaned out. I am insane.

I kissed him.

Toad

Holy shyte she was kissing me. A girl, kissing me. This upset the balance of the world. It was not normal. It was not right... But it felt right. I had never been kissed. It was sweet, like she really meant it. And dear god I felt myself kissing 'er back! There was something wrong with me... I knew it. This wasn't right! I was the TOAD. Nobody was supposed to love me. But, she did. I could feel it in the kiss. And, I think I did too.

She pulled away. Just to look at me. Then she said. "See ya." And turned around. She started to leave again. She turned around once more with a small smile, and kept going. I gotta tell you, alot of shyte has happened to me in the past. Alot of shyte I regret, alot of shyte I had a hard time doing. But watching her leave was one of th' toughest things I ever had to do. I blinked as she left through the tree line. She disapeared. I leaned back into the cockpit and stared at the controls.

Cor... If going soft is like this, I really don't mind it.

Fin
