Rainbow

"Man, if it rains anymore, the whole city of Bayville will be flooded," Lance commented as he absently strummed his guitar.

"Isn't it great?" Todd exclaimed as he walked through the front door dripping wet. He'd been outside playing in the rain for days and loving every minute of it.

"EW!" Pietro made a disgusted face. "Stop dripping your gross pond water on the carpet."

In response, Todd shook his head sending droplets flying from his hair at Pietro and Lance, which received annoyed comments as they vacated the room – much to Todd's delight.

"Hey!" Todd heard a female voice off to the side of him. He turned to find Wanda sitting in front of the bay window behind the couch wiping her face with her fingers.

"Sorry, cuddlebumps. Didn't see you there."

"Here." Wanda picked up a dirty shirt off the floor and tossed it at him. "Dry off."

Todd caught the shirt. "Thanks, cuddles." He wiped his face, over his hair, then glanced at Wanda. Her back was against the side of the bay window frame, eyes staring out at the falling rain. Todd dropped the shirt where he stood, and stepped over to her.

"Don't like the rain?"

Wanda sighed, but kept her gaze looking out. "I'm not sure how I feel about it. The rain reminds me too much of myself for some reason."

Todd frowned. He hated when Wanda was in her dreary moods, which was far too often. The rare small smile he saw her show was like a ray of sunshine. At that thought, the rain began to slack and there was a small break in the clouds. The sun shone through the break, casting a spotlight on the ground. The clouds rolled off some more revealing more of the sun's light.

"What is that?" Wanda suddenly asked. Todd looked out the window to where she was pointing.

"Oh, that's a rainbow," Todd answered her nonchalantly. When Wanda looked at him blankly, he asked, "You've never seen a rainbow?" She shook her head. "Not even as a kid?"

"I don't remember very many things as a child before the asylum," she replied, sullenly.

Todd looked at her sadly.

"It's getting brighter," Wanda said. "Toad," she growled when he reached for her hand.

"You have to go outside to get the full experience, yo."

Wanda glared, but followed him out the front door anyway. The sun had pulled through the clouds even more helping it create a rainbow that spanned across the sky. Wanda looked up, wide-eyed and amazed by the sight.

"All that I missed," she murmured to herself, but loud enough for Todd to hear.

Todd smiled up at her. "You don't have to miss it anymore."
