Give me the news, doc
There was, in fact, a very good reason Toni hadn't talked to her friends in a while: She'd been rather sick.

Or something, anyway. There was definitely something wrong with her. She didn't... feel right. No appetite. And her powers were going pretty haywire. She'd either end up shooting out too much energy or too little. And when she did, either way, it felt like just about every nerve in her body was on fire.

She'd told her parents, of course, but she couldn't bring herself to tell her brother or Anya. They had too much on their plates already. Just about one more worry would probably break her best friend in half. She'd have to settle for telling her later and suffering the "you should have told me"'s there.

Fortunately, as both a mutant and Avenger, she had access to the best medical treatment of both worlds. Regular tests had been occurring over the past several weeks, but now...

Now she was feeling worse than ever. And as she sat waiting for the results of her latest test, Toni Rhodes was quite worried.

	Re: Later anyastark 2010-12-26 03:52 am UTC (link)
	Anya had to laugh. A stranger would be able to tell they had been best friends forever just by listening to them. She nodded. "It has. Though balancing classes with the hero thing can be tricky at times. It helps having a good team around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It was good to see Toni smiling. Anya knew this /thing/ was serious, but she couldn't let her best friend in the universe get completely down about it. "Let's eat. I'm starving and then you can tell me what you've been up to while the Thuderbolts are out being the A-team." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
