A/N- Yeah, how was last chapter? Fun? Eventful? Confusing? All of the above? Yeah, I thought so too. Anyways, I swear, I think I should list all the pairings so you know what you're getting yourself into... So, JamixJohn, OCxTodd and past one-sided BobbyxJohn and, Blackrose197666, kill me, please, 'cause it's BobbyxRogue... -sad sigh- And I'm debating on giving Kurt, Warren and Pete a girl/boy(undecided if they're gay or bi or straight yet). -innocent look- What?

Disclaimer- I do not own X-Men. Nor do I own Jinx, she is Blackrose197666's. I do own Melody.

---Half Hour Later

"So... How does Toad know Mr. Asinawa?" Bobby asked John as they sat on the couch in front of one of the TVs in one of the many recreation rooms. John shrugged as he dug into the chocolate ice cream that Bobby had acquired from the kitchen.

"I'm not too sure. I just know that when Todd was younger, he ran away from him when his mutation came out." John said, "That, and that Todd has this major crush on him!"

"Yeah, I could definitely see that. And Mr. Asinawa has it bad for him too." Bobby nodded. They grinned, remembering what happened after they hid around the corner a half hour earlier...

"Uh... Here!" Todd quickly handed the necklace over to the black haired, green eyed man. The man smiled and shook his head.

"No... You keep it. That's why I left it." He said.

"Um... Thanks, Nicholas... For pulling us out..." Todd said quietly, his cheeks heating up. The man, Nicholas, smiled weakly.

"You pulled me out of too many messes I got myself into... It was just one of many payments returned..."

"We're even."

"Who said...?"

"I-!" Todd was cut off by a kiss.

"Man! Todd's face was priceless! He looked ready to flip out!" John laughed as Bobby snickered.

"I don't think I've ever seen him that scared before!" The ice mutant said, eating his own ice cream. John couldn't quite remember how he and the Iceman started talking over ice cream, like they used to. It was all a blurr. After Todd and Nicholas kissed, he got bored with them just talking in the hallway, so he walked off. Bobby followed. And now they're sitting and eating ice cream!

"So... How's Rogue...?" John asked. God, how he hated her!

"She got the cure." Bobby said.

"I know." The fire mutant replied. They sat in an uncomfortable silence. It was broken by two girls staring at them in the doorway.

"May I help you?" Bobby asked the two.

"Jinx wanted to go blow something up! And I told her no!" The smaller girl said. The bigger girl, Jinx(1), nodded.

"Please Mr. Drake? We'll be good!" She said. Bobby frowned.

"Take it up with Ms. Munroe." He said. The two ran off, grinning at each other as the two males went back to their uncomfortable silence.

---With Jinx and Girl

"So, did you see right Melody?" Jinx asked. The smaller girl nodded.

"Yeah! The big bad traitor really is-!"

"SHH!" Jinx giggled, watching as some older kids passed. They giggled to each other again and ran off to talk in their room.

"So, it's definitely not Mr. Drake's. Mr. Drake is with the bitch... I mean Miss-!"

"You totally called her a bitch! Yes! I am such a good influence on you!" Jinx laughed.

"Shut up! More like a bad one!" Melody giggled.

"So... It's nobody from the Institute... And Mr. Tolansky is officially with Mr. Asinawa... And I doubt they woulda done anything like that if Mr. Asinawa hadn't ever kissed him anyways." Jinx said, grinning.

"So, out of the Brotherhood, who would be more likely to screw Mr. Allerdyce...?" Melody asked, frowning.

"Well, little Miss X-Ray vision, can't you break down into the DNA and find out?" Jinx asked, annoyed.

"If I did, I could possibly kill it!"

"I doubt Mr. Allerdyce would mind. I mean he seems like the type to not give a damn."

"He would too give a damn! Afterall, it's his-!"

"It's my what?" John asked, frowning as he walked over with Bobby and Marie.

"Uh..."

"Spill it out you two." Bobby said. The two girls looked at each other and then at the three older 'adults'. They grinned sheepishly. Melody hesitated, but answered.

"... Mr. Allerdyce is-!"

"John! Come on! We've got to talk!" Todd said, running over with Nicholas.

"Why? What's going on?" John frowned.

"It's about Jamie." Nicholas said. John paled.

"What about Jamie?" He asked quietly.

"... He's in jail..." John's frown turned absolutely evil.

"Can't we get'm out!?"

"No. He... He's on death row..." Todd broke it to John as easy as he could. It didn't go so well.

"John! John wait!" Todd ran after his charge, Nicholas, Bobby and Marie on his tail, along with the two young students. They all ran to the front. The two students looked at each other worriedly as the older ones ran out of the grounds.

'This cannot go well...'

1) Jinx is belonging to Blackrose197666. So far, she's the only one reading this, so I doubt I have to give a description unless she forgot what her own character looks like. And Jinx is SUPPOSEDLY a boy, but I made he a she so Melody would have a friend. Though, I'm tempted to 'steal' Tommy too, just to put them together. But yeah, I'll get a description for Jinx later. Lmao!

A/N- Ooooh... Things are heatin' up with Nicholas and Todd! And John and Bobby are finally getting along again!(Yeah, I know, it didn't take long.) Just what is wrong with John? Will Melody and Jinx ever get the chance to tell them? And will Jamie survive being put on death row? Well, review and keep reading to find out!
