Toad: The Crow: Salvation lost.
Toad sat down in the middle of the Brotherhood's old living room and spread out on the table in front of him was the hypodermics of speed. Taking one up in his left hand, he ideal played with it while it seemingly floated between his fingers.
Looking to the corner of the room, he saw some empty beer cans and a few case of something. As he stared at them, a memory of a party slowly surfaced to his mind. It was when the Brotherhood had invited some of the cooler x-men along and it was the first time Betsy showed an interest in him. She had come over after having an argument with Angel and had gotten wasted at the party.
"Okay...honey, you're drunk; fuck, way past drunk and into wasted, yo. You need to get some rest" Todd said as he guided her up the stairs.
Toad knew he needed to get her to bed before some thing happened and the last thing he needed was an over protective Angel or psychotic Wolverine threatening to kill him.
"Okay, I'll rest." Betsy said with a indifferent shrug but then gave a small dirty smile. "But only if you come with me, you little sweetie."
Todd had to forcibly stop himself from saying yes by biting on his tongue. He then turned away from her and head butted a wall.
"You're drunk, you're drunk." He said, more to himself than to Betsy. "You don't know what you're saying, yo. You'll be pissed if you did anything with me. You'll regret it in the morning, honestly."
"Come on Toady!"
Betsy all but whined, turning the amphibious mutant around and pushed him up against the wall. The small space between them was suffocating Toad as he clenched his hands at his side to stop him from touching her.
"You can't tell me your not interested in this hot Asian body of mine." Rubbing her free hand slow down her body as she spoke, making Todd gulp feverishly. "And you were so nice to me, while you listened to me moan about that JERK WARREN!"
Todd closed his eyes, this was taking all of his strength and willpower to not take her were she was and it was getting harder by the second. But he knew Angel was a good guy and he didn't deserve to have people going be hind his back like this. Taken a deep breath, Todd gently but firmly pushed her back and step a way from her.
"Okay...you really, REALLY need go to bed because in the morning you be really angry with me, yo. And I really don't want you to remove any of my body parts or my mind turned into a puddle of goop or even worst having to deal with Wolverine." A he said last part, he paled slightly with a gulp. "So, can you go to bed please?"
Betsy Looked in deep into his eyes and gave him a sexy smile that made his knees go weak. "you would die a happy Toad".
Todd just looked hurt and shock his head.
"Fine!" she said coldly, storming off to the guest room.
Todd could hear her muttering under her breath about finding a real man and not some limped Frog, then slow starting to sniffle about Angel as the door closed behind her.
As the memories faded away form him, he spun the hypo around his index finger blindly and tossed in the air to catch it again. Taking the hypodermic in his hand tightly, he injected himself in the arm to try and numb the emptiness he was feeling.
He let out a cry as the drugs interacted with his mutant abilities and now supernatural qualities in a way more inline with heroine. As strong drug flushed over him, Todd let out a gurgle of pain as memories started to flow out of his sub-conscious.
Angel glared down at Todd lay on the floor, the amphibious mutant breathing heavily from the blow he had just received. Betsy moved over to Todd and pulled him in close, looking at angel as she spoke softly.
"Please don't do this. It's over between us, Warren. Just go home, please."
Warren looked at her with a mixture of anger, love and disbelief.
"Why, why are you leaving me for him? What has he got that I haven't; I mean, I worshiped the ground you walked. Just tell me, damn it!"
"Because Todd shows me respect and loves…me…He doesn't treat me like I'm a prize or trophy to carry around on his arm." Betsy said as she looked into Todd's eyes as she wiped his hair from his faces.
"An unlike you and the others, he is prepared to forgive my mistakes and help me redeem my self." Taking another deep breath, Betsy looked at Angel both softly but firmly "Now go, Angel. There nothing left for you here with me."
Angel looked down at her and knowing this going no where flew off into the sky.
As the memory faded away, he looked down at his arm and saw the three scars all the same length and equal distant apart on his shoulder. Toad slow moved his fingers across them and a new memory rose from the depth of his mind.
At first it was all twisted images of him and Betsy fighting a gang, flashing through his mind and then Betsy getting hurt, then of him going berserker as he tried to fight off the gang. Tears ran down his face as he remembered them taking Betsy's chocker, before he was started by the sound of people run in there direction. Then it cleared up
Toad knelt down and worriedly looked over the hurt Betsy, trying to revive her when all of a sudden Toad heard a feral cry rise up.
Before he could react, he was slung into the wall by an enraged Wolverine. Toad tried to move to out of the way but Wolverine stabbed him in the shoulder, pinning Toad to the wall.
Screaming pain, Toad heard the voice of Angel screaming orders at Wolverine "Kill him! He hurt Betsy and tried to kill her! Cut his fucking head off, Logan!"
Then out of the darkness, he heard a second clear and crisp voice. "All of you stop now; Logan, let him down." Wolverine let out a low growl and retraced his claws, allowing Toad to slump to the floor in pain.
Out of the shadows, Professor X wheeled into view. "No one is going to die here tonight. We are going to take Elizabeth and Todd back to mansion for medical care and then we will sort out what happened here in the morning."
Angel moved in front of the Professor and looked him in the eyes. "You got to be joking. That little creep lured Betsy away from me, attacks her and your going to help the slime ball? If you're not going to do what's right, then I will."
Professor looked calmly at Angel and spoke "Warren, we have all ready discussed this problem you have with Elizabeth. It was her choice to leave you and I am sorry for the pain it caused." Taken a deep breath, he looked over at Wolverine who was just standing there and then back to Angel. "But I have all ready warned you that this vendetta you got with Todd ends now. I've all ready let one attack on him slide but if inst to carry on like this, then you will no longer be welcome at my school."
Angel turned and look at Betsy, then Toad and spoke coldly. "So be it."
And went to dive at the injured Todd but for he got any where near him, Angel was frozen as still a statue.
"Warren, that is enough! You leave me no other choice; you are no longer welcome at my school. Don't bother return for your stuff, I will have it delivered. Just leave and do not come back." Take a deep breath, the Professor released his mental hold on Angel.
Looking down at Toad, Angel spat on him and flew off into the sky while sending a metal message to professor that he would be back for Toad.
As the memories faded, Toad sat in a blind rage state and suddenly tired to tear what was left of the room apart like a tornado. Then as the blind rage cooled in him, he sent a message to his crow that they had new pray to visit before he could carry on his hunt for the others.
Picking up the coat and slipping in on, Toad walked out like a man on a mission.
