Previously...

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...'

---Now....

John ran through the streets, his eyes watering as he thought of Jamie on death row. He had to get him out. He was stopped by Todd landing in front of him and forcing him into a 'hug'. By the time he had calmed down, he was crying.

"Shh... Calm down John... It's alright..."

"No! No it's not! We've gotta get'm out! Todd-!"

"John! Johnny listen to me!" Todd forced John to look at him. "We'll get him out. He's not going to die." John slowly nodded. He was still crying, but was much quieter and calmer about it.

"I can get him out. I won't let Jamie die." Nicholas said, putting a hand on the Pyro's head.

"How-?" John frowned as Nicholas cut him off, smiling.

"Let's just say... I have a good influence on the American government..." The man shared a know-it-all mischievous look with Todd. "But, for now. Let's get some sleep. It's late and I'm positive those two giggling ladies are worried."

"I'm sure Storm's put them to bed by now." Marie said from her place by Bobby. Nicholas nodded.

"Right. Come on." The group headed back to the Mansion. John quickly dried his eyes as they entered the mansion. Once inside the safety of their room, John quickly turned on Todd.

"What the fuck did he mean!?" He demanded. Todd smiled tiredly.

"I'll explain tomorrow... maybe." The amphibian mutant replied as they got into bed. John frowned, not liking it. But he forced himself to go to bed.

The next morning, John woke up to a knock on the door. With a whine, he sat up. He saw Todd wasn't in the room, but the shower was running. So he must've been in there. He heard another knock.

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" John moaned. He got up and as he was going to the door, he felt...

"Oh shit!" He ran into the bathroom, which Todd had kept unlocked for God knows why, and threw up into the toilet. The shower turned off.

"You alright Johnny?" Todd asked as he got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist. John nodded weakly.

"Uh-huh...." He flushed the toilet and wiped his mouth. Todd helped the boy up and they left the connected bathroom. John went to answer the annoying person who wouldn't stop knocking as Todd got dressed.

"What?" He snapped, opening the door.

"Oh, sorry Firebug? Were you sleepin'?" An amused voice asked. John's eyes widened as he stared at the man in front of him.

"J-Jamie...?" He asked, his voice cracking. Todd walked over and stared at the two. He smirked, amused.

"Excuse me, I have to go kick a certain Ass." He passed Jamie(FULLY CLOTHED MIND YOU PEOPELS!) and disappeared around a corner.

"You alright, Firebug?" Jamie asked, frowning in concern. The multiplying mutant walked into the room and closed the door, pulling the fire mutant into his arms. John hugged Jamie tightly, starting to cry.

"Jamie... Don't... Don't ever scare me like that again!" John exploded, "Did you know how worried I was about you!?" Jamie quickly let go and backed up some.

"Hey, now, Firebug... It wasn't my idea to stay behind and get caught! You can thank ol' Mags for that!" Jamie said in his defense, holding his hands up. But that didn't help him any. John kept shouting at him, more than likely waking up the kids in the rooms next to his. Soon, somebody knocked on the door.

"Hey, John, cool it! It's too early for this!" Bobby shouted. John ignored him, though Jamie didn't.

"Firebug, the Iceman's right! You can kill me some other time!" Jamie offered.

"No you son of a bitch! I thought you were dead! And-!" John was cut off by Jamie kissing him. The fire mutant whimpered and melted into it. He wrapped his arms around Jamie's neck.

"Don't worry Firebug... I ain't leaving you alone just yet..." Jamie smiled when they broke apart for air.

"... Good..." John smiled, pulling Jamie back into another kiss.
