Xander was sweating.

This alone would not be a bad thing if the multitude of micro cuts and scratches weren't there. As they where Xander was having a hard time keeping his focus on his opponent.

Across the open area Victor Creed was circling the boy slowly as he looked for another opening, when it came he launched himself across the open area and was pleased when Xander sidestepped and landed a straight punch to his side.

As he stood up he smiled again "Good, put you put to much weight on your left foot in the turn, try to keep yourself balanced so you don't open yourself to counter moves" he said as the doors opened to reveal Toad standing there.

"Aye tooth... Magneto wants me to train with the kid for a bit" he said as Victor glared at the little man who just shrugged "Ya got a problem with it, Take it up with the boss" he said.

With a growl Sabertooth stomped over and towered over the smaller man "I will" he said simply before brushing past him and out the door.

Xander watched his dad walk out; the impact of Toads tongue to the side of his head warned him that his focus should be somewhere else.

Victor was growling as he stormed into the office of one of the most powerful mutants on the planet "Why did you send toad to replace me?" he growled out as Magneto looked up from a document he was reading.

"Mortimer asked if he could train young Alexander and I agreed" he said as Victor stood there for several seconds.

With a roar the mutant known as Sabertooth left the office leaving a very concerned Erik Magnus behind.

Turning to the View screen Magneto turned it on to the image of a badly beaten young Alexander Creed "Ooh Mortimer... I do hope you survive this" he said as he switched to the security camera that showed Both Sabertooth and Mystique moving towards the training room with a cold fury.

With a Sigh he turned off the screen and back to the Documents "I Suppose I should look for someone else to fill Toads spot next weekend."
