Disclaimer: It's been three chapters. I've said in every one that I don't own this stuff. I only own the paper it's written on. (I don't even own the computer dammit! It's school property!) So if you don't get it by now that I don't own anything but my brain you're more of an idiot than originally thought.
Authors Note: I am so sorry for not updating sooner! I got busy with home stuff, school stuff, and all kinds of other stuff that should never have come up! Please don't hate me; I had every intention of updating after five reviews came in! Really I did!
Ed's Tomato: I actually really like that idea! That would be really cool! I'd have to do it later though, after all my other ideas are written out. I might steal that idea though…
Carmilla De Winter:Thanks for the tips! I'll try to remember to give the X-men a good side… even though they don't have one…
JennMel: Thanks for reviewing! I tried to update soon, really I did! Rarely a day went by without me screaming mentally at myself to update. Damn school…
Lady Em-Chan: Apparently everyone liked Emily beating up Wolverine. I know I loved writing that part, it was the most fun. I was giggling to myself as I wrote it, and while I re-typed it onto the computer. My sister didn't ask I do it that much, but my friends think I'm crazy now. I don't care though. Wolvie got beat by a little girl. That's all that matters. Now we can blackmail him with it.
BeastBoyBlitz: You got jittery? Cool… I made someone jittery! Yay!
Jemima Aslana: Thanks for the review! I know Toad's OOC, but as you said it can't be helped. I try to keep him as in character as possible.
Story time!

Toad stopped when he got to a streetlight. He looked each way, trying to remember which direction the safe house was. He cursed himself for not paying more attention when Magneto had told them all where it was. He had figured he'd never need to go there.
He decided to head down one road and see where it would lead him. Emily had fallen asleep on h9is back, so he was trying to keep her asleep. Her tail had wrapped around her own waist again, keeping her pants up.
Toad sighed when he saw a large high school. It looked like it was a hundred years old, even though it was barely half that. A sign outside said the name was 'Bayville High'. Toad went past it. He figured he was heading in generally the right direction.
He felt Emily start moving around on his back. He looked briefly at her before continuing forward. He turned down a side street and started down it. He knew he needed to find the house soon, or else risk the X-dorks finding him again.
Emily yawned and lifted her head from his shoulder. She looked around at the houses they were going past curiously. Her tail wrapped around one of Toad's arms so she could stretch her arms.
"Where are we going?" She asked quietly. She was still half-asleep.
"T'some friends. They can 'elp us ge' a'hold o'Mags." Toad replied. Emily seemed happy with this answer. She wrapped her arms around his neck and placed her head back onto his shoulder.
He turned down a street and saw a run-down house with a sign saying 'the brotherhood of Bayville boarding house' on the lawn.
"Is something wrong Daddy?" Emily asked worriedly. Toad laughed and shook his head.
"No. Nothin' at all." Toad said to her. Emily smiled and hugged Toad before he carried her across the street. He put her down on the doorstep and took a deep breath before knocking on the door.
The door opened to reveal a skinny boy with white hair standing in the doorframe. He didn't look surprised to see Toad, but looked surprised to see Emily.
"What's your name?" Emily asked, breaking the awkward silence. The boy, more of a teenager actually, stepped aside to let Toad and Emily in. The heard the door shut behind them quickly saw the boy appear in the front of them.
"That'sthekitchenupstairsarethebedroomsintheresthelivingroomwhereeveryoneelseis." The boy said quickly. He looked like he was going to say more but Toad cut him off.
"Oi! Motor mouth! Slow down or shu' up!" Toad ordered. Emily smiled and snickers could be heard from the living room. The boy gave Toad a dirty look and rolled his eyes. Toad grabbed the boy by his collar, lifted him off the floor, and pressed him against the wall.
"You mus' be Pietro." Toad growled. Emily was laughing quietly.
"Ooh, you're in trouble!" She giggled.
"And you would be?" Pietro asked slowly. He sounded nervous.
"Your wors' nightmare." Toad growled. "Mystique's told me all abou' you." He continued. He paused when Pietro got a smirk on his face. "How much of a bloody twit you are. Abou' how big your ego is jus' cause Mags is your dad. I'll warn you now, tick me off and I'll be bringin' you t'Mags in a matchbox." Toad muttered to Pietro before dropping him. Emily grinned and stuck her tongue out at Pietro. Pietro stuck his tongue back before running up the stairs in hyper-speed. Emily ran after Toad, who had gone into the living room.
There was three more teenage boys and two teenage girls standing around the room or sitting on the furniture that was falling apart. They all wore grins on their faces. Their clothes had holes in them and looked like they'd seen better days.
"Wot's so funny?" Toad asked. Emily grabbed his arm and hugged it as she hid behind him.
"You." One said. He looked like the oldest and had brown hair. He was sitting in an armchair holding a guitar.
"You shut Pietro up." A girl with blonde hair said. She was seated on one of the arms of the armchair.
"It's impossible to shut 'Tro you. You should get a medal, yo." A short boy said. He was sitting on the shoulders of a boy that filled up the doorway he was stood in, and had a blonde Mohawk.
"You said you knew Mystique, do you really?" The second girl asked. She looked Goth, and wore a long red trench coat. Toad nodded.
"Lemmie guess. You're Wanda?" Toad asked with a grin. The Goth girl nodded with a slight grin. Toad grinned back and scanned everyone else in the room. He had read all their files so he could guess at their names.
"Why hasn't mystique been coming around anymore?" The one with the Mohawk asked.
"Freddy righ'? Magneto's been needin' 'er. She's been posin' as Senator Kelly. She'll be 'round eventually." Toad said with a grin.
"So who are you? You seem to know us, yet we've never even heard of you." The one with the guitar asked. "And who's the kid?" Toad heard Emily growl. She apparently didn't like being called a kid.
"This 'kid' single-handedly took down Wolverine." Toad said with a sly grin. Emily and Toad both knew it was only because Wolverine had been holding back. But the others didn't know that. "Her name's Emily." Toad finished.
"And you are?" The blonde-haired girl asked.
"Tha's fer me t'know and you t'find out." He said. Toad knew that weird questions would arise if they found out he too was called Toad. He didn't plan on being there long anyways.
"Is there a phone 'round 'ere?" Toad asked. The short boy on Freddy's shoulders nodded. He jumped down in a graceful leap and Toad knew instantly that this was the boy with the same powers he himself had.
"This way." Todd said. He was looking strangely at Toad as if he knew something Toad didn't. Toad didn't like being out of the loop.
"Wot?" Toad demanded. Todd shook his head with a grin and led them into a kitchen. Todd hopped onto the counter and grabbed a cordless phone. He tossed it to Toad, who couldn't help himself but snatch it out of the air with his tongue. He didn't realize what he had done until it was too late. Todd was looking at Toad with a shocked expression.
"You- you- you have-" Todd stammered. He was staring wide-eyed at Toad and pointing at him. Toad slimed the boy's mouth shut before he could say anything. Toad walked calmly over to Todd and pinned the boy against the cupboards.
"'Ave th'same powers as you. Tell anyone and you'll find yerself missing a few fingers next time y'wake up." Toad whispered in Todd's ear and grabbing the hardened slime and pulling it off easily.
