I don't own any of these characters.
Charles had always enjoyed family dinners growing up. It was a nightly event that he tried to enforce now in the mansion with his new family. The others seemed to enjoy it as well; at least he thought so due to the fact that they all showed up every night and participated in the conversations. Sometimes even Moira would join them when she had the time. But on one particularly uneventful night, Charles noticed an empty seat at the table. He took a quick head count and asked, "Where's Alex?"
Everyone's head snapped up from their plates as the had just realized that their broody housemate was not present. Hank pushed his glasses up his nose. "I saw him before we came down. He said that he'd meet us here, that he had to do something first."
"Do you know where he went?" Raven asked from her seat next to the young scientist. He shrugged and took another bite from his mashed potatoes. The others looked nervously at each other, not liking the fact that Alex was unaccounted for. In the short time that the had been together, the mutants had become a tight knit family. When one was hurt, the others jumped into action. Charles cleared his throat and wiped his mouth off with his napkin.
"I'll go find him." he announced pushing his chair back to stand. He crossed the dining hall but stopped when Erik called out to him.
"Do you want me to help you find him?" he asked beginning to get up from his seat. Charles held up a hand and shook his head.
"No its fine. I think I might know where he is." the others nodded as he left to find Alex. Charles slaughtered through the maze that he called his home. He had on several occasions caught Alex sneaking back into his room late at night. Once he had asked where he was at such late hours. Alex simply replied that he was somewhere where he let out his anger and not have to worry about hurting anyone. Yes, Charles knew exactly where Alex was. And he knew why he was there.
