A/N: I want to give a special thanks to Left Hand of God, for being the first supporter and a special thanks to crystalfeathers, my second reviewer (AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!) Also, I'll try to make this chapter even funnier. Oh, and one more thing. I might call Sabertooth, Saber sometimes cause his name's too long.
Author's POV
Toad and Mystique helped Finola up the steps of the metal fortress, cause she was still weak for having gone two weeks without food. Sabertooth just continued to stare at her, in which making her uncomfortable. When they got into the a room with a tv and couch, Finola's head shot up. A familiar scent entered her nostrils.
"Food!" she cried out.
She shoved Toad and Mystique out of the way. She tried to walk to the source of the scent but just succeeded nearly falling flat on her face. Fortunately or her, Toad caught her just in time.
"Watch yourself, luv." he said.
Finola blushed slightly at the comment. Does he... no, he can't. I've just met him! Her mind screamed. He helped her to her feet and lead her to the kitchen. She immediently started to drool. Finola looked to Toad with a face that asked Can I just rampage around the kitchen and eat whatever I can find? Toad nodded and she ran to the fridge. She searched for a moment and grabbed a container of milk, some chicken, and beef. She plopped it on the small table then rushed to the cabinets. She pulled out a can of tomato soup and a loaf of bread. She plopped back down to the table and started eating. She ate the chicken and beef raw, which made Toad grimace at the sight. She then used her teeth to open the can of soup. She drank it down eagerly. Then she wolfed down the bread. But when Finola took a big swig of the milk, her eyes bulged to the size of Saturn and she ran to the sink.
"EEEEWWWW! SOUR MILK! NASTY! YUCK!" she screamed as she spat the spoiled milk into the sink.
Toad had collapsed on the ground from laughing so hard. Mystique, who had entered earlier, had a smirk on her face. After Finola finished barfing, she glared at Toad. Then an unfamiliar voice came.
"Ah, so I see you have found the mutant."
Finola turned to see an old man in red and what looked like maroon clothes. He also had a cape. Saber was right behind him. She swallowed and smiled slightly.
"Hello. I'm Finola and you are?" she asked.
"I am Magneto, child. The owner of this fortress." he said.
"Well, Magneto, Toad said you fight for the survival of our race. Is that true?"
"Yes it is."
"Can I help?"
Magneto smiled and nodded. Then he turned to Toad.
"Find her a room." and with that he left.
Toad walked over to Finola and said,
"Follow me."
She followed him down the many hallways till they came to a door. Toad opened it and led her inside. The room looked wonderful. The walls were a different shade of silver with a hint of gold. There was a gold dresser, a silver canopy bed, and a small desk. On the desk was pencil and paper. There were two doors that lead to a closet and a bathroom. Finola stood in awe for a moment, then ran to the canopy bed and collapsed on it.
"I take it you like it?" asked Toad.
"It's wonderful." answered Finola.
"That's good. Now you should res, Lola. Tomorrow, Magneto will test your battle skills."
"Okay."
Toad turned to leave when Finola asked,
"Toad?"
"Yeah?" he said.
"What is your real name?"
He didn't say anything for a moment.
"Mortimer." then he left quickly.
Finola couldn't help but smile. Mortimer, she thought, what a nice name. Then, she fell asleep.
