Glad you didn't think the last line was too corny! Anyway! I'm updating this…I found some inspiration last night! Hope it's still working for you all ;o) (by the way, anyone know where I can find some good toad screen grabs? Email me with info !or just email me anyway)
Racheal's red eyes opened as Mortimer pulled away from her.
"I'm sorry." he stammered.
"For what?" she asked.
"Taking advantage of you like that." he said looking away.
"I kissed you, remember?"
"I noticed that," he said, "but you're upset about Sabretooth and what he did."
"Actually I feel better now, because of you." She reached for his hand. "You helped me, like always seem to do."
Magneto walked in, Mystique following behind him. Magneto's eyes passed over Racheal's hand on Toads. Toad quickly pulled his hand away.
"Now that you have had some proper training, Miss Welty, we shall test your abilities on the inferiors. Tonight we are going to the Center for Mutant Control, to destroy their files and essentially wreak havoc."
"What does this Mutant Control Center do?" Racheal asked.
"They are basically a registration office." Mystique answered. "So, that the government will have full knowledge of every mutant living in the United States."
"But I thought the Mutant Registration Act hasn't been passed yet?" she asked.
"It hasn't" Magneto said somberly. "At the moment the MCC is a private company-with illegal government funding."
"And we just walk in?" she questioned.
"No, the place will be guarded, but it shouldn't prove much of a problem-unless we have company." Magneto's eyes danced.
"Company?"
"Mm," Magneto nodded. "My old friend, Charles Xavier, has his own band of misinformed mutants. They strive for peace with the inferiors, not realizing that their kind will never accept us."
"So, we may be fighting other mutants?" she asked remembering how badly she had faired earlier with Sabretooth.
"I have faith in you, Aries. We are a brotherhood, and we do work as a team." Magneto gave her an encouraging look.
Racheal felt some comfort in the fact that Toad would be by her side, looking out for her, as she knew he would.

Getting herself outfitted for the 'mission,' Racheal noticed all the darts that were laid out for her were red. She didn't question it though. As naive as she was, she knew that they weren't going there to ask them if they wanted to buy Avon products.
It was going to be her real first battle. A battle in the war against humanity. Sure, she wasn't recruited under the best of circumstances, but The Brotherhood was quickly becoming her family. A theory that was proven as Sabertooth entered and approached her.
Racheal instinctively tensed in his presence. On her guard that he would try to hurt her again.
"Welcome to the team," he said casting long glances down the row of weapons. "Don't get us killed." With that he walked past her and out of the room.
'So what? He has to practically kill someone before he can accept them?' Racheal thought to herself, but she took this welcome as a sincere one. Possibly as sincere as Sabretooth could be.
----
Magneto had decided that they would drive a mile away from the center and walk the rest of the way, as to make a surprise entrance.
"I want Racheal with me. The rest of you head to the rear of the building to get rid of any stragglers." Magneto instructed as they got out of the van.
Mortimer and Racheal held a long gaze before Mortimer went to follow Sabretooth and Mystique. Their eyes verbalizing what they were both feeling, but could not say.
'Be careful.'
Magneto walked a brisk pace toward the front of the building. Racheal did her best to stay as close as possible to him.
"I notice you and Mortimer are becoming…close." Magneto said as they walked.
"Oh?" she asked, surprised that he had picked up on it. "Yeah, well, he's nice." she stammered searching for the right adjectives to describe Mortimer.
"Do not worry," Magneto said picking up on her uncertain tone. "Mortimer is an adult and can make his own choices. I think you two should get closer, if that is what you both want."
"I don't know what he wants," she said after another moment of walking, "but I think he would like to hear you say that. Your approval means a lot to him."
"He will approach me when he's ready." Magneto said.
At first Racheal thought his comment sounded heartless, but the more she thought about it the more sense it made. It would be awkward for Magneto to approach Mortimer on the subject of her.
They reached the mutant registration building. Four guards all holding semi-automatic weapons were standing at the gate.
"Hold it right there, freaks!" One guard yelled as he noticed Magneto's helmet, and Racheal, the walking arsenal.
Having guns pointed at her caused Racheal's inner beast to reawaken. Her burgundy red eyes automatically scanned the guards for the strongest and weakest opponents.
A guard went for the alarm.
"I think not." Magneto said and ripped the buzzer off the wall, using nothing but his mind. A round of guns being cocked and loaded sounded. Magneto looked unimpressed.
"This is private property!" a brave guard yelled out. "You are hereby ordered to leave these premises immediately."
"Come along." Magneto said to Racheal, ignoring the guards words. He took a few steps forward, that's when the gun shots started.
Every guard seemed to be unloading there weapons in Magneto and Racheal's direction.
Racheal instinctively ducked, but she needn't have bothered. All the bullets were dropping down like rain in front of her.
Magneto lifted his hands. The gate and all the guards weapons were thrown to the side.
Seeing the guards now unarmed, Racheal began lunging forward, tossing the red darts as she went. The four guards were quickly disposed of, but the next round was coming-after hearing the gunshots.
Not wasting time with the darts she grabbed her gun and began loading rounds into the approaching mob. Not thinking twice about the so-called innocent blood spilt.
'If it's them or me?' she thought. 'I pick me.'
Magneto approached with a look favorable impression.
"Let's find the others." he said and led her inside the Mutant Control Center building.
