Positive Reinforcement

Because my last take on Mystique's training Todd was so violent and dark and ultimately depressing, here's a more positive take on it. Avec half-arsed shading job, badly drawn boxes and likely as all wildly out-of-character behaviour! 
Sorry about my shodtacular handwriting. Here's what it says in case you can not decipher it;
MYSTIQUE: Well, Toad. It would appear you have completed your training.
TODD: Yes Ma'am!
MYSTIQUE: Now, understand that your performance during our last mission was, shall we say, less that satisfactory. Some significant improvement is called for. And that means no more flirting with Summers, for a start.
TODD: Eh heh, yeh. Sorry about that, won't happen again!
MYSTIQUE: So tell me! Who's ready for some highly dangerous work activity you can not possibly sue for?
TODD: Aw man, I am SO ready! I'm your toad, bosslady!
MYSTIQUE: Yeeeesss . . . And who is going to do brilliantly?
TODD: ME, yo!
MYSTIQUE: And who is going to royally arse it up?
TODD: Piet- Someone Else!
MYSTIQUE: Very well then. Let us PROCEED . . .
BOTH: Hut! Hut! Hut!

Heh, it was mostly a reference to the first episode in which Todd wanted to get close to Scott, mostly-if-not-entirely because he was a fellow mutant in school. A suggestion to "do lunch" was put forth.
Mind you, I was joking in this context. But if Mystique had been there for that little exchange, she would have probably taken it to mean as much
. . . And hey, she never said anything about no more flirting with her son, now did she?
