I just got back from skating lessons. My first competition is Sunday, yay. O.K on with the story
Wot are we doin' out 'ere? It's freezin'!" Toad complained as he, Mystique, and Sabertooth walked through the woods near the Westchester area.
" Were here because Magneto has good reason to believe that a mutant is hiding around in this area." Mystique answered while pulling a leaf from her short red hair.
" Well we've been walkin' 'round 'ere fo' 'ours, and we 'avent even 'ad sight of someone. Why don' we split up, so we can cover more ground?" Toad suggested
" That's actually not a bad idea. O.K Toad you go on ahead. Sabertooth backtrack on where we've been to make sure we didn't pass them. And I'll stay here and look around. With any luck we'll find someone." Toad and Sabertooth nodded their heads in agreement and went their separate ways, Toad still complaining on how cold it was.

" Mags mus' be losin' his mind, no one is out 'ere." Toad reasoned. Just as he was about to give up he heard a faint sound coming from a clearing up ahead. Toad made his way to the clearing, to find a girl on her knees crying.
" 'ey are you alright?" He asked as he made his way to her. She jerked her head up and backed away from him. / Stay away, please. I don't want to hurt you. / Toad shook his head in confusement. " I don' know wot yer sayin'."
" St stay away." She stuttered with a thick Norwegian accent. " I, I don't vant to hurt zu."
" Wot are you talkin' about?"
" You'll die." She whispered. " Just like David did." Toad knelt down beside her, and gently rested a hand on her shoulder. Despite the fact that her face was stained with dirt and tears he could see how beautiful she was.
" Who's David?" Toad asked her as gently as he could. Tears welled up in her eyes and she let out a small whimper. " I didn't mean to kill him. It vas an accident. I just touched him." She said tears began to stream down her face. Toad gently brushed a strand of hair from her face, accidentally brushing her check. She looked at him with wonder. " I can touch zu." She whispered with joy, tears still flowing from her eyes. She wrapped her arms around Toad and cried into his jacket. Hesintally he put an arm around her, and with his other hand stroked her incredibly soft, golden hair. The girl pulled away from him, and wiped the remaining tears from her eyes.
" I'm sorry. Its just the last person I touched zey…died."
" Wot?"
" I don't know how, but he did. So I ran away to ze forest. I didn't think anyone vould find me find me here."
" Wot's yer name luv?" He asked her softly.
" Thora, Thora Vulva."
" 'm Toad."
" Is that your real name?" Thora asked noting his green skin and sparkling yellow eyes.
" No, it's Mortimer." He said even quieter. Thora smiled lightly. " I like it." Toad looked at her with a shocked expression, which quickly turned into a smile. "Then you can call me Mort if you want."
"Toad are you there?" Mystique asked from his listening intercom. " Yha stique, I found 'er. I'll meet you back at the 'copter in abou' ten minutes."
" Vere are zu taking me?" She asked with a hint of suspicion and fear in her voice.
" To a place where people won't try to 'urt you."
" Vhy vould zey try that?"
" 'cause you' a mutan' luv."

" Is this who we've been looking for?" Mystique asked Toad when they arrived at the helicopter.
" Yha. Mystique 'his is 'hora. 'hora, Mystique." Mystique put her hand out and Thora slowly took it. As soon as she made contact with her skin a wave of electricity shot up Mystique's arm. She screamed in pain as she was thrown into a nearby tree.
" I'M SORRY! I'M SO SORRY!" Thora screamed, tears beginning to flow down her face again. " I COULD TOUCH ZU. I THOUGHT I COULD TOUCH HER BECAUSE YOU'RE BOTH MUTANTS. LIKE ZIS VOULD ONLY HAPPEN TO PEOPLE WHOM VERNT. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TREID, I'M SO SORRY!" By now she was in hysterics. Mort ran to Mystique who wasn't moving. He searched for a pulse, but couldn't find one. Toad put his head on her chest, but he couldn't feel or hear her heartbeat either. His eye's widened. " No." He whispered. He immediately began to give her mouth-to-mouth trying to revive her. She remained motionless. Mort looked at Thora who was sobbing uncontrollably.
" 'hora, 'hora listen te me. You 'ave te calm down, I need yer 'elp." Toad said putting his hands on her shoulders. " Vhat do zu vant me to do?" She asked between sobs. " I need you to shock Mystique again. It may start her heart back up."
Thora nodded her head and walked over to Mystique. Kneeling down she began to rub her hands together, which emitted short sparks of electricity. She placed her hands on her chest, another wave of electricity shot into Mystique's body, starting her heart back up. Her eye's fluttered open and she smiled to Thora, mumbling she said, " Nice to meet you to."
