First of none of this is mine don't own the charters witch's belong to Marvel and the crow belongs to the move/comic book writers, only the idea for this story is mine nothing else.
Also if there's any interest I may do a story tell of how Todd and Betsy became a couple and why I chose the title of Salvation lost it had to do with Betsy 616 history if you can guess what part you get a cameo in one of my stories. Here is a hint for you she English and similar event happened in the ultimate universe. Check out her profile on http/ the answers is there
Toad: The Crow: Salvation lost.
Toad look around the ally were they were attacked he reached out with his mind to the crow and told him to find those who hurt Betsy.
The crow at first wanted to resist; this was not why he came back but when it feeling the pain and anger at what happened, the crow relented and took flight. Flying around the block, he saw a person with the energy that matched one of the attackers form Toad's memory. The crow sent out a cry to Toad as it floated above the man and called him to follow.
Toad moved slowly after crow, not wanting to be seen by the gang member. Toad dropped out of sight as the gang member paused to look around before he opened a door to a warehouse. Using his new found speed, Toad slipped in before the door slammed shut and into the shadows around the building.
Standing in the shadows, Todd watched them as they moved around and his anger rose as he saw the hoard of stolen items they had yet to move. With a powerful leap, Toad landed on the table in the middle of the room and everyone heard it creak violently under the force of the impact.
The gang leader looked at Toad and spoke after moment of silence. "Who the fuck are you, freak!"
Not taking his eyes off of Toad, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a gun, pointing it at Toad's head.
Toad just looked at the gun and smiled. "A question; a question I will ask, if I may, if I can, if aloud. One question I have before you shoot me."
"What shit are you hitting, man. Blowing your screwed-up brains out of your head is going to be a mercy killing, you transvestite freak." Said the gang leader with spite and rage, his hand tightening its grip on the gun.
Toad pays no head to him and carried on. "I was wondering are you magpies? As they like stealing things but you doesn't look like magpies..."
Before he finished the gang leader shot him in the head.
Toad's body landed on the floor with a loud thump. When one of the gang members went to look, they found that the body was gone. Before he could let out a warring, the gang leader was dragged under the table with a scream.
At this, gang started to panic and Toad stood up flipping the table over. The gang looked on in horrified terror as Toad put the gun in the face of one of the gang members and pulled the trigger, coating every one in brains.
When Toad did that, the gang started to wake up and grab their guns. As they started shooting, Toad kicked one in the head with a spin kick that snapped his neck. Landing, Toad spat a glob of slime in a gangster's face and this caused him to drop the gun as well as scream since Toad's change his slime had taken on acidic property's and started to burn his skin off.
The last two gangers put more of a fight. One of them used a shotgun to blow Toad clear across the room. The gang walked over and put the shotgun to Toad's head but before he could pull the trigger, Toad empted his gun in to him. Getting up, Toad slowly walked up to the last ganger and the man kept shooting but Toad just kept coming.
As Toad was standing in front of him, the gun clicked empty. The gangster just managed to turn before Toad reached out and snapped his neck.
Looking slowly around the room, the crow let a cry as it saw a gang member curled up in a corner. Walking over to him slowly, Toad had a maniacal look on his faces. The ganger started to plead and cry for Toad not to kill him. Taking no heed, Toad reached down to strangle him when a memory flashed before his eyes and his teeth gritted together in pain.
Todd and Betsy were sitting down in a park, looking down at the ground as Todd put his hand on Betsy's leg.
"What made you notice me, Bets? The Toad; the ugliest and wimpiest of the whole team, yo?"
Betsy smiled and put a finger on Todd's lips, before leaning in for a light kiss.
"One, you're not ugly. And no, you're not a wimp any longer, because I saw you when Duncan pushed you too far by picking on some dog you tried to help."
Taking Todd's hand, she smiled a secret happy smile. "You were going to kill him but when he started begging; it snapped you out of your blind rage and showed him mercy. You told him that the only reason why he was walking away was to show that you're were better than him."
Todd looked at her, completely flabbergasted "Y-y-o-u-u saw that?" Betsy nodded her head.
"I think that was time I started to see Todd instead of Toad. I saw a kinder gentler side to you" Betsy said tenderly as she leaned in and kissed him again.
As the memory faded, Toad looked at the ganger and spoke "I going to show mercy, but don't thank me yet. I got a gift; a gift of pain and anguish!"
At this Toad grabbed the gangers head and pushed into his mind the memories of the mugging, binding it soul. As the memories flowed through the gangster's mind, he started to sob like a little child.
"You will never know peace again until you redeem your self. So get out of here and find your redemption. Or blow your brains out and be dammed, for all I care but go now before I snap your neck like a twig." Toad said with a glint of anger. The ganger jumped to his feet and ran, wanting to get a way from the demonic clown.
Once the ganger was gone, Toad went throw all the boxes in a methodical search to find what he was looking for. After ten minutes of searching, he found what he was looking for; an Amethyst stud choker. Holding in his hand, a new memory came to his mind and small smile appeared on his lips.
Betsy and Todd were sitting out in the woods on the grounds of the mansion, away from the sights of prying eyes.
Toad carefully held a box up to Betsy. "Betsy, I got a gift for you. I hope you like it."
Betsy slow took the box and opened it in side was a Amethyst studied chocker. Looking at Betsy gasped "How?"
Todd gave a wicked smile as he spoke. "Someone's drug money income is going to be a bit light this week."
Betsy's look of shock turned to a frown and she thumped him the arm "How could you be so stupid? You could have gotten killed."
Todd looked hurt "I am sorry, but it was the only way I could get enough money without stilling from some. Taking the money from a drug dealer seemed like a good idea, at the time."
Betsy shook her head and smiled. "I sorry for shouting, but I don't want to lose you. So, please, promise me you won't do anything like that again. Now, would you put it on for me?"
Moving behind her, Todd clipped the chocker into place. Smiling at Todd, Betsy turned around to face him.
"I got a gift for you too, Todd." she said as she removed her top.
Todd could do nothing but stare at the vision of haven in front of him, until Betsy spoke up.
"Are you going to just stare or you going to do something? I got a few things I'd like to do with that tongue of yours.
At hearing this, Toad got a goofy look on his faces and moved in for a kiss.
