It's another late night. Sleepless night. Everyone else is asleep. Everywhere his pale yellow eyes look, Todd sees darken windows. People must be in bed. The gang is. He heard Fred's snoring before he left his room. Wanda had passed him with a look before she went into hers. Pietro always goes to bed by one and the minute you hear Lance no longer playing his music, you know he's out. So at home and possibly all of Bayville, Todd is the only one awake.
It's nice and quiet and peaceful. Oh and lonely too. How could he forget that one? Lately he has been having a lot of these long and lonely nights. Each one spent the same way as he is doing now. Walking. Why? Because there is nothing else to do. Since the whole thing with that wanna be mutant supreme whatshisface they fought and saved the whole world...things feel different. They really ain't. People still hate mutants. The X-losers are still seen as the good guys. The Brotherhood are the losers and lackeys. And himself? He's still the Toad.
But things still feel different. He feels different. How, he doesn't know. There is a familiar feeling however. An unbalanced feeling. That and the loneliness. That nice, wonderful feeling that he is all alone again. It suffocates him.
The others all received some fancy paper about learning to better their skill and be something more than lackeys a week ago. All but him. They tell him his got lost or is a day behind, that his will come tomorrow. Yet each day he checks, there isn't one. They don't know though. He's lied to them. Told them they were right and it came. Everyone is all excited though trying to pretend not to be. They leave in the morning.
Todd has no plans of being around when they do. He has no plans of being around period. Todd has a plan in mind. One that will work for once. Has to. How hard can it be to jump off a bridge? That's his thing. Toads jump. But before that, he has to walk around one last time.
Just walk. Todd has no idea that right now he is walking towards a certain mansion. One filled with a group that he believes wholeheartedly hates him. It's just another building with everyone asleep. Another building on the way to the bridge.
