Alex Summers Oneshot

Someone had managed piss Mary off during the days training. He expected that it was either Erik or Sean. He had a knack for that.

The Professor had sent Alex to find her.

He found her up in one of the trees on the estate.

"Mary?" He called up. He wasn't sure he was going to get an answer.

She looked down at him. "Alex?" Her bright red hair was messy and it looked like he had just woken her up.

He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Yeah. What are you doing up there?"

"It's easier up here. I don't have to feel cramped all the time."

"Mary, you're up a fucking tree."

"Alex Summers! I am going to wash your mouth out with soap one of these days!" Mary sounded exasperated. She was always telling him and Sean to mind their language. It was because she had been raised in a Catholic household and gone to a Catholic school. That never seemed to stop Sean swearing though.

"I hate being inside. It must be the wings I suppose. They don't like to be cramped, so I don't either."

He smiled at that and started climbing the tree to sit with her. He remembered the last time he had tried climbing a tree. He had fallen and had started to cry. He was only six. She was sitting on a very thick branch, for which Alex was thankful. When he got to the top (sometime later) he told her about falling out of the tree.

"Don't worry, if you fall, I'll catch you."

"It's like I have my own personal superman."

She stuck her tongue out at him. Alex was transfixed.

"Yeah, alright, I'll be your Superwoman."

She turned to face away from him and with the dying sun glinting off of her white wings, they turned gold. She looked like an angel. A very beautiful angel.

"Mary?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I try something?"

"Of course you can, it's a free country isn't it?" She looked at him with those big green eyes.

"Okay then."

He then gently grabbed her chin and kissed her, and what astounded him was that she kissed back! She brought her hands round to his neck and he moved his to her waist. His tongue traced her bottom lip lightly, as if asking for permission. She opened her mouth without a moments hesitation.

That was when Alex fell out of the tree.

And pulled Mary with him.

He landed on his back with Mary on top of him. She was blushing a bright scarlet.

"Well, Miss Cassidy. It looks like you're falling for me!"

She blushed an even darker shade of red.

Because well, he was right.
