What kind of ship is this supposed to be? This looks sci-fi even by Beast's standards. Someone going to clue me in on what's going on?

Seriously. I have things I need to be doing and I'm not sticking around to make nice with whatever asshole shoved me in that tiny crate. I'm not laughing. Not even a little.

Magneto? Mystique? Are you on this channel? I could really use some directions right about now.

Come on. Azazeal? Someone answer. This place is giving me the creeps.

[wreakhavokupon]

No, I just randomly pulled those names out of my head and decided to say them.

You don't sound familiar. Are you one of the new ones?

[Audio]

[catchingflies]

I'm the Toad.

[And he sounds kind of proud of that, himself. He does love being what he is, even if it gets him in trouble and means he doesn't get to hang with the "cool crowd". Who needs 'em, anyway!]

I don't know you, neither, but that don't really mean nothin'. Hold on, okay? I'm gonna come find you. There's, like, spies watchin' what's posted on these phones an' stuff.

[Audio]

[wreakhavokupon]

All right. Just hurry it up. I'm not sticking around in this creepy ship for longer than necessary.

[He isn't even phased by the name. They all had different names with Magneto. Their 'real' names. He didn't care either way but he used them when he knew them.]

I'm Havok. If you're going to be part of the Brotherhood, it's a name you should learn.

[Audio => Action]

[catchingflies]

If I'm gonna be a part?

[Somebody's a little behind the times, as far as Todd knows. He was the first teenager working for Magneto and Mystique, thank you very much. He sounds a little offended, there.]

Whatever. I'll be there in a few.

[And he is. Jumping along rooftops and then bounding across empty streets at the edge of the Old City, up until he reaches the ship. He pokes his head inside.]

Yo. Havok. You still here?

[Action]

[wreakhavokupon]

[Havok's still in his new suit from the training he had thought he was in the middle of. Now he was grateful he had made it black, after all. It made keeping to the shadows in a strange place easier.]

Over here, Toad.

[He gave the odd stature of the other mutant a furrowed glance before shaking his head. Okay. So his temporary partner in abduction was the hunchback of freaky eyes. Whatever. He had worked with stranger mutants.]

What are we doing here, anyhow? Where's Magneto?

[Action forever!]

[catchingflies]

[And this guy looks kind of like... Scott Summers' little brother. Oh geez. That Havok? Todd winces. He's in street clothes, even if he does actually have his costume here. Street clothes are more comfortable.]

No clue, bro. Ain't seen a bit of him, or Mystique. S'just me and Quicksilver and some gal who's related to Professor Xavier, only like, from another universe or somethin'.

[wreakhavokupon]

[Alex almost asks about Quicksilver until Toad mentions the other Xavier.]

What do you know about her? Anything? I spoke to her a while ago and she was talking some pretty crazy things

[catchingflies]

I dunno. She seems cool.

[Todd shrugs noncommittally, not really wanting to get into how nice she'd been to him. That just seems a little too likely to get him made fun of.]

Maybe a little too serious, but y'know, grown-ups and apocalypses and stuff I guess will do that to a person. Think she's right 'bout some of the crazy stuff, though. She says there's, like, two more Xaviers here, who ain't her.

[wreakhavokupon]

Two? There's two more of them?

[She had not mentioned that, and the omission sparked a small warning flare. Why would she not mention that? Did she think he couldn't handle it? He shrugged it off. Not right now, Alex. Not here. This is not the time to over analyze already complicated and confusing things.]

Is everyone here a mutant?

[catchingflies]

Oh, nah. There's a bunch who ain't. But I kinda tend to hang more with the ones who are, ya know?

[Well, after a fashion. He doesn't get much choice, when it comes to Pietro, and he hasn't made that many other friends. Pepper might count. Maybe.]

C'mon, you got your stuff? Shouldn't hang around here. I can show ya to the Flop and where you get food an' stuff.

[wreakhavokupon]

[Well there goes that theory. This isn't some kind of mutant 'camp'. That's something of a relief other than putting him back to square one. He gives Toad a nod, ready to follow him. Alex is used to leading these days, but he's more than willing to take a step back on unfamiliar territory. At least until he gets his bearings and his feet beneath him.]

Yeah. Alright. [He gives a lead the way gesture.]

[catchingflies]

[And lead the way, Todd does, taking it at a hop rather than a walk, since that's more comfortable for him, and another mutant wouldn't be a jerk about it, right? Of course not!]

So, uh. When'd you start with Magneto, anyway?
