Thump.

Shay smirked slightly, watching as Principal Kelly's car continued on it's way down the street; the driver apparently unaware of the quarter-sized rock that had struck his vehicle. She was a bit disappointed that he hadn't noticed...after all, if he turned the car around she'd be able to make both side doors match.

Tossing the other rock lightly up into the air and catching it as it fell back down, Shay sighed. It had been a fairly boring day at the Boarding House, mostly due to the fact that all of her housemates seemed to be out for the day.

"Which is why I'm sitting here...in a tree."

Shay shook her head, somewhere between amused and embarrassed with herself. At the time, it had seemed like a perfectly good idea and an even better way to relax. Well, that was before she'd actually gotten herself up.

"Maybe I should just head to the mall," she murmured to herself. "Or maybe the skating rink or...something. Anything's better than just sitting here."

As she went to swing down, she noticed a stray cat wander from their back yard to the front, stopping as it took notice of her in the tree. A soft smile graced her lips as Shay watched the cat. It was quite young, just old enough to be considered a cat instead of a kitten, with a beautiful grey coat with black streaks in it; a true tabby cat. She remained very silent in the tree as the small animal came closer, not wanting to startle it. It sat, scrunched like a spring...and then all at once it sprung, catching and holding itself up on the bark with it's sharp claws, trying to climb up the tree. With a light sniker, Shay used her powers as kind of step-stools for the kitten, using them to only provide the little extra boost that was needed. Once it reached the branch Shay was settled in, it looked at her with curious, gleaming emerald eyes.

"Come here, sweetheart," cooed Shay gently, stretching out her hand very slowly towards the cat, offering her fingertips for it to sniff. "I'm not going to hurt you."

Slowly, and with great caution, the cat crawled over towards her, step by step. It stretched its thin neck out, it's soft pink nose only just touching Shay's fingers as it sniffed. Shay tried not to giggle despite the tickling sensation she felt, her eyes bright as the cat gently looked up at her...then licked at her fingertips.

"You know just how irresistably cute you are, don't you?" asked Shay with a smirk as the cat continued to bathe her fingers. When the cat meowed in response, she snickered, suddenly wondering if her housemates would object to having a cat in the house.

"I suppose I could always just sneak you in," murmured Shay with a smile as the cat made its way onto her lap. "I wonder if Pietro likes cats?"

The cat tilted it's head questioningly at her for a moment...and then batted lightly at the small bit of lace that trimmed the bottom of her tank top.

"I suppose if he didn't, I could always ask Marina to smuggle you into her room...or if I could get my old room fixed up...hmmm...I'll have to think about it," she said, laughing as the cat got one of it's claws unintentionally snagged in the lace. Gently, Shay freed it, lightly stroking the feline's head. "You're too sweet to give up, that's for sure."

Pyro made his way down the street, whistling casually as he flicked his lighter open, then closed, and then open again. Though he was supposed to be on a mission of some sort for Magneto, heaven help him if he could remember what it was.

Not that he seemed too heartbroken about it.

"Too much goin' on in the world anyway," he grinned, sending a shot of flame out at a passing car; cackling as the driver swerved to avoid it only to crash into a lamp post. He really didn't get why the brown-haired man was getting so upset--there was already a dent on the side anyway.

Cackling all the more, he made his way around the corner, coming face-to- face with the infamous Brotherhood Boarding House.

"Mmm...maybe I should drop in on 'em?" he thought with a smirk, knowing in the back of his mind that Magneto might not be quite so fond of the idea, but not caring enough to actually restrain himself from doing so. He was about to go knock on the door when he noticed a movement coming from a tree, a look of surprise crossing his face as he noticed a girl sitting on one of the branches playing with a kitten.

"...That'll do."

Todd was hopping back to the Brotherhood Boarding House, several bags of grocery's dangling from his arms. Pietro has sent him to get some dish soap, chips, drinks, and other various items for the house. Todd wrinkled his nose thinking about the soap, and leaped up the hill the boarding house sat upon.

He had passed a smoking car, crashed by the road side, that looked an aweful lot like Principal Kelly's automobile. Maybe it was Wanda, in a bad mood. His eyes lit up as he caught site of the building. Todd sat up on his legs and continued walking normally.

As he came closer to the front of the house, he noticed a fiery, red-headed man with a lighter, staring up at a tree. Squinting, Todd tossed the grocery's on the doorstep and walked over to the guy, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"What's the matter little guy?" asked Shay playfully, flicking lightly at the cat's tail as it suddenly shot from her lap and crawled up onto a slightly higher branch. She followed it's emerald eyes downwards, to where she saw a strange man with flaming orange hair and Todd.

"Todd?" she called down, a hint of curiosity in her voice as she glanced from one guy to the next. "What's going on down there?"

Pyro had just opened his mouth to speak, when the girl in the tree surprised him by beating him to the punch.

"Todd? What's going on down there?"

"Todd? Sheila, you must be a lot higher up than ya look," he cackled, approaching the tree without realizing the person she was addressing was just a few feet behind him. "I don' know any Todd, 'cept maybe the little fox from that Disney movie. An' trust me, miss, I'm not 'im--what the hell is that awful smell!?"

He held a hand up to his nose, his eyes darting around to look for the source, before suddenly whipping around and coming face to face with the frog-like teen.

"...Oh. Your name wouldn' happen ta be Todd, would it?"

"I was hoping you could tell me..." Todd replied to Shay, taking his hands out of his pockets and crossing his arms, looking over the man beside him. He was an odd looking one, that was certain. The wide grin across his face creeped Todd out a little.

"Yeah, that's me. 'Scuse me, but I think you should hit the road. Outsiders ain't all that welcomed around here."

He looked back up the tree to see Shay climbing after a cat. "And what exactly are you doing all the way up there?"

Todd's words made Pyro cackle all the more, his laughter crackling through the air like fireworks.

"That righ'?" he asked, amusement flickering like a candle flame in his eyes. "What's the matter, mate? I thought you lot were suppose' ta be the fearsome 'Brotherhood o' Mutants', not the "Secret Brotherhood o' Get The Hell Offa My Lawn'."

"Besides, it ain't all that secret ta me, anyway," he smirked, chuckling all the more. "And that sign out front doesn't help ya much."

He glanced over at Shay, who had caught the small cat in one arm and was starting to lower both to a different branch. "Careful up there, Sheila. Wouldn't wanna break that pretty leg of yours for a little runt like that." He flicked his lighter open, then closed, then open once more. "That just wouldn't be fun at all."

Suddenly a flame sparked from the lighter, taking the form of a tiny flaming cat.

"Now THIS would be worth breakin' a leg over," he grinned maniacally.

Shay raised a questioning eyebrow at the stranger, lowering herself and the young cat to a low enough branch that she could jump down. The minute she got herself settled, however, a spark of light caught her attention; a cat that appeared to be made entirely from fire was suddenly running and jumping about.

"What the--?" before she could even think of jumping down, the now terrified cat bolted down the tree and around to the backyard. She went to reach for it but wasn't quick enough, instead catching hold of the branch to steady herself so that she wouldn't fall.

"Who are you?" she questioned, finally hopping down from the tree and going around to stand near Todd; a very cautious look in her eyes.

"The name's Pyro," came the reply, the grin on his face widening further. "And you're the healer witch lady and you're the frog kid, right?"

He looked from one to the other, playing with the fire cat in the process.

"I've tried to keep you lot straight, but it ain't all that easy," he laughed. "Well, 'cept for Pietro. But I'm startin' ta remember something about you two. So, how're things goin' around here? We haven't heard much of a report lately and higher ups are gettin' a little frisky."

"Yeah, ok, I see your point..." Todd shifted uncomfortably and blew some hair out of his face. The stranger called up to Shay, who seemed to have caught up to the cat. Then, he released a spark of flame from his lighter, which instantly took the shape of a tiny cat. It was quite obvious he was creating it, not a trick of the mind at all. With that, Shay hopped out of the tree and stood beside Todd, just as curious about the stranger as him.

"Whoa, bro. That's wicked."

"Who are you?" Shay asked.


"The name's Pyro. And you're the healer witch lady and you're the frog kid, right?"

"Toad", Todd mumbled under his breath, but Pyro continued talking in his thick accent. "Wait", Todd said, pointing at the other mutant after he finished. "How do you know Pietro?"

"Woah, bro. That's wicked."

"Ya think so?" asked Pyro, his expression instantly brightening up as he turned his attention fully on Toad. The fire cat suddenly ran over, prancing around the younger boy. Whenever it got too close, a white flame shot up in between the two, acting as a barrier for Todd.

"Aw, you're no fun, Sheila," he pouted suddenly at Shay, not seeming fazed in the least by the warning look in her eyes. "Ah well, didn't expect you would be."

As if nothing had happened, his expression was back into the crazy smile. He waved the fire cat into nothingness as he approached Todd, leaning against a half-broken post from what had once been a fence. "And as for how I know Pietro...well, I'll let you ask him 'bout that one." There was no hiding the amusement in his face, though he obviously wasn't about to say more than that, despite the almost glare he was now getting from Shay.

"So, you never answered my question," he added. "How are things goin' round here? I'm kinda surprised ta see the house still standin'."

Todd was trasfixed by the flaming cat. He smiled as it pranced around in the air, before vanishing in a quick burst. Pyrp had come closer to him, leaning on a splintered chunk of wood sticking up out of the ground.

"So, you never answered my question," Pyro cooed. How are things goin' around here? I'm kinda surprised ta see the house still standin'."

"Eh, same old same old." Todd retorted. "We do a little this, do a little that, get our rear ends handed to us by the X-Geaks every so often..." He sighed, catching sight of a wondering dragonfly. Tilting back his head, Todd quickly snatched it with his long, green tongue, which he retracted back into his mouth. He swollowed the bug in one easy gulp and continued. "The house is barely holding up. Doesn't help we're always wrestling n' stuff in it either. But hey, she's a sturdy one!"

Pyro wrinkled his nose in disgust as he watched the long slimy tongue shoot out and snatch a dragonfly right out of the air, shaking his head lightly with a shudder.

"That so?" he asked when Todd finished replying, getting one more shutter out. "Well, can't say I'm all surprised by that either. Personally I give it 'til the end of the month before it comes tumblin' down."

He burst into a sudden fit of laughter; cackling heartedly as he kicked his foot back and knocked part of the fence down.

"Or maybe the end o' the week!"

"Ha, I'd take that bet", Todd said jokingly. He cracked his fingers and walked up to the front door, snatching the grocery bags and kicking the door open. He threw them on the counter in the kitchen then came back out where Shay and Pyro were.

"Nobody else seems to be home. Can I take a message?" He asked Pyro while gnawing on his fingernails.

"And what exactly are you doin', love?" He said, turning his gaze to Shay. "It's a wonderful day, wouldn't ya rather be at the mall or somethin'?"

While Todd seemed to be hitting it off quite well with this cackling stranger, Shay wasn't nearly as receptive. There were just too many things about him that gave her a bad vibe--his apparent knowledge of them (and in particular, Pietro) being at the top of the list of reasons. She tried to rack her brain for any and all memory of seeing him around, or even just passing him on the street, but came up with nothing. How does he know about us?

"And what exactly are you doin', love?" He said, turning his gaze to Shay. "It's a wonderful day, wouldn't ya rather be at the mall or somethin'?"

Shay gave a light start, snapped out of her thoughts by the sound of her house-mate's voice. She blinked a moment before turning her gaze to him, a gaze which softened significantly from the way she had been looking at Pyro.

"Maybe I'll head down to the mall later, Sweets," she said gently, a hint of a playful smile on her lips as she reached out and fearlessly ruffled Todd's hair. She, like many others in the Brotherhood, had a very special section of her heart reserved for the 'kid brother' of the lot. "You're more than welcome to come with if you want."

She turned her attention back to Pyro for a moment, long enough to shoot him a light glare. "Though for now...I think I'm gonna head inside and get a head start on the laundry. So if there's anything you do want, whatever your name is, you should probably say it and leave."

To be this discourteous was completely unlike her, though she really wasn't trying to hide how little she trusted this fire-loving lunatic.
