Disclaimer: I dont own Toad. Or the Brotherhood.

Serah

"Wot?" "YOUR GREEN."

Oh the moment is SO ruined...

"Wot?" I twitched. "How many times do I have to say it. YOU. ARE. GREEN. VERDE." He limped to the river and stared at his greenish features. "Wot th' hell happened?" "I dunno..." I racked my brains for an answer. "Maybe it just doesn't last forever." he shrugged. "But tha' machine should 'ave changed my DNA wouldn't it?" "It SHOULD have..." He felt his face and looked pretty depressed. "Whats wrong?" "Nothin'. It's just, for a little while I wos normal. It wos nice. Not being a freak for once." "I put a hand on his shoulder. "I like you just the way you are. Better even." "I know... I would 'ave liked to go out in public once without people staring at me though." I kissed him on the cheek.

Just getting bolder and bolder aren't you Seraphim?

"One day you will. Me an you both. When humans finally figure out they aren't that great." He smiled. "Yeah. One day."

Mystique

This was getting pathetic. We had combed the entire island looking for Mortimer before we noticed the helicopter was gone. Which led us to the conclusion that he had gone to the mainland. So now we sat there, me tapping my foot waiting for Magneto to make a desition, the other two, acting bored and uncaring. As usual. We had in fact recruited a new member to the Brotherhood about a year after Serah had left. His name was Kailen. And damn was I sick of his attitude. Well, I was pretty much sick of men at this point.

Anyway, Magneto was in the other room doing something before coming into the conference room, Victor and John were randomly playing Rock, Paper, Scissors, and Kailen was bending part of the metal table over and then straightening it. He kept glancing at me. Like I was supposed to be impressed by this. He was super strong, and his ego was inflated to that of Senator Kelly. If not more. He had black hair, which he let hang down in front of his eyes, and a muscled strong figure. He was about twenty four and about as vain as you could get.

I did not like him.

When Magneto DID finally come in, he stated simply. "I can't get in contact with Mortimer." "So he could be dead in the gutter and we wouldn't know it?" "Exactly." He rubbed his temples. "So what are we supposed to do?" "Wait for him to contact us, I suppose. We can basically do nothing." I bit my lip. "We could ask Charles." he stared at me. "I don't think so. I will not ask for Charles's help in the matter. Mortimer is strong. He can handle himself."

Men and their pride... Why Serah? Why did you leave me with these idiots?

Mort

My brow creased as I thought over why I would 'ave changed back. All th' stuff I had learned about mutants and th' genes flew though my head. But th' answer just wouldn't come. I looked at Serah. "So, does, this mean were together?" She blushed. "I think so... I never had a boyfriend..." "Me neither..." I looked at 'er smiling. I caught my mistake. "uhm..."

Curse awkward situations...

We sat there a minute. She looked at me. "You know. I may sound corny, but, I think your the only one I want to have a relasionship with." "Same 'ere." I paused. "Do.. d'you 'ear tha'?" "Hear what?" "Listen..."

Whump. Whump. Whump.

"What is that?" "I dunno.." We stood up.

Oy.. Wot now?

Click. Whirrrrrr...

Something shot through the bushes and Serah and I let our legs go out from under us, we crouched as the thing appeared before us.

"Wot th' fuck is tha'!" "I wish I knew!" Th' thing looked like a robot chicken. With backwards legs supporting a round metal body with a camera lense fixating in th' front. Two other things were on either side of it. Probably guns. A red dot appeared on mine and Serah's shirts. "JUMP!" We rolled to the side as th' guns fired, shooting dirt into th' air. I yelled. Then scrambled over to Serah. "C'mon! I have a plan!" We started running with the river. Keeping an eye on it. Shot kept ringing out through th' air and th' pain in my side seemed to have disapeared.

Yay to adrenanline.

We raced through the brush, passing by some freaked out animals. "What exactly is this plan of yours?" She called. "Geography lesson! Where do all rivers lead?" She paused. "Oceans?" "Guess again!" "... WATERFALLS!" "Right!" She looked back. "Chicken foot seems to be gaining!" She cried, half histerical. I glanced back.

WhumpWhumpWhumpWhump!

Th' thing wos indeed gaining. I picked up a little speed. Then I heard it. Rushing water.

"Were coming up to th' waterfall!" "GOOD! Cause I think I just had about four heart attacks!" I grinned. I heard a zipping noise as we came up to th' falls. Then a screech. "AHH! MORT!" We skidded to th' edge of th' cliff, the falls roaring next to us. "SERAH!" There were chains wrapped around 'er shoulders. She wos straining against them. I grabbed 'er arm. "Let 'er go you bloody chicken!" Serah looked suddenly distraught. "GO!" I ain't leavin' you!" "YOU have to! I'll make you!" She jumped up and shoved me off th' cliff, I only got a breif glimpse of 'er being pulled back before I tumbled into th' icy water below.
