Erik stood proudly by the entrance as if he had already won but he knew that this war upon mutants and humans wasn't over. He's eyes glared upon he's friend and he's friend's sister where they exchanged loving remarks and kind words into each other's ears. Erik stared at both Charles and Raven, taking note of the times that he too was loved, the times when his mother would sing to him making him go to sleep. The endless nights of sweet dreams turned into nightmares... Erik shook his head; he refuses to step foot into unwanted territory. Those memories were locked away not seeing the living daylight ever again and Erik kept it that way, forever lost in he's mind filled with revenge and sorrow.
Charles and Raven spoke softly, sharing every moment to say what they wanted. Their hearts intertwined with feeling that they couldn't control and it stayed that way. Beside Erik was Hank, he eyed Raven with he's own and the familiar smile was back on he's face. Since the first time he laid eyes on Raven he knew he was in love, thinking that a guy like him would had a chance to get with the girl like Raven.
Minutes were wasted as Charles and Raven reunited but Erik was impatient and resulted in a likely thought. While they were busy with their cosy reunion Erik sealed his plan and sooner or later someone was going to pay the price.
"Erik?"
"Erik?"
Charles and Raven stopped their chatter and looked directly into Erik's direction.
"What are you doing?"
"Securing our future. Forgive me,
Mystique. As long as you're out there, we'll never be safe."
"Erik..."
"Use your power, Charles. Stop him" said Mystique, her yellow eyes completely filled with confusion and rage.
"He can't" Erik said as the gun in he's hand pulled the trigger and after that all hell broke loose. Hank tackled Erik to the ground but he's finger already was speeding towards the blue mutant.
The speeding bullet spiralled out of the barrel of the gun and headed towards Mystique. She sprinted out and out through the window however she wasn't free for long. Erik managed to free himself from Hank's grasps to manipulate the bullet changing it direction back to its main target. Raven was out the window, she would have landed well if it wasn't for the bloody bullet. Charles had his own problems as trying to stop Erik was hard enough without this telepathy but also trying to bring Logan back to his senses.
Raven landed on her feet but the the bullet in her flesh was making it hard to stand. The pain from her leg was making it was to walk making her wish she had teleportation as her powers but sadly she had no choice in her mutation. Raven's heart blasted so fast that it numbed the pain for a while from her leg. Shocks and screams soon echoed through the air as Raven was overcoming her dizziness, the pain in her leg was catching up to her. Her eyes blurred from the sunlight unable to see the petrified looks of the homosapians.
Charles on the other hand was busy with his own problems in which one was to calm an extremely angered Logan and that bloody son of a bitch, Erik Lehnsherr, had escaped through the broken window made by his sister, to come after her. Hank had already chased after Erik and without his telepathy Charles knew nothing of what was going on down on the Paris street below.
" Erik, what have you done?" Charles thought, he's mind the only one that's in his brain while everyone else was complete ejected.
Erik was busy dealing with succeeding in killing Mystique himself that he didn't bother to check Hank closing in on him. After touching down Raven was still on her feet, limping yes but still active. She limped away, far away as possible from Erik's path but Erik was to head from Raven. The metal bullet was still lounged into her leg and with getting closer to danger it wasn't going to be easy to avoid the humans and Erik.
"Stop Erik! Erik, please..." Raven pleaded whilst on the ground her leg now still hot with pain.
Their surrounds were so loud it hurt her ears, each human around them screaming and running in all directions. Raven looked into Erik's eyes. Empty.
"I'm sorry." Replied Erik, he's arm outstretched, the bullet pulled back into his head ready for another attempt at the kill shot.
"Erik..."
Before he could aim at Raven a growl grew behind Erik and Beast tackled him to the ground. More screams as people fled the Paris Peace Summit, running away when they saw the fight insured. Raven got away, transforming herself, blending within the disruption of the crowds.
Beast and Erik were on the ground, throwing fist after fist, screams were echoing and Beast wasn't giving up. Erik had he's advantage and went to reach his arm, reaching for some metal as weapons. Beast just blocked them but was also hit once or twice but he's pain was as much as he's anger. The solid ranger he felt when that bullet hit Raven, oh how much he want to make Erik pay but he knew Charles, he'll never let him kill Erik.
They fought until they reached the fountain. The central masterpiece of the location and it was about to be a battlefield for two powerful mutants. Beast tackled Erik into the water, he's fury hands gripping onto Erik's jacket collar and kept using he's fist to attack Erik. Erik's head buried deep into the water, he's legs thrashing and arms gripping onto Beast to keep himself conscious. Breathing was proving to be difficult as Beast went forth to bashing his head onto the tiled fountain floor.
Beast smelt and saw the dilute of blood forming into the surface of the water. Erik was still and unmoving, he's mouth quivered slightly but that was all he managed to do. He stayed under the water without movement, the metal around Beast were silent and this worried him. Erik never stayed still for he was active and alive but this didn't look alive more like... Beast didn't look at how still Erik got but looked at his own surroundings. People ran away but some people stared, looking beyond scared.
" who are they? Who's that? Is that what they say are 'mutants'"
Beast thinking had turned back to being Hank, he's fur disappearing and screams soon filled the air again. Hank was smart but at times like this that didn't help at all and for one thing is for sure was that Charles won't be happy.
Hank tried to lift Erik with his own hands but the older mutant was more heavy then he thought. Too heavy for him to lift which caused concern with him and others.
" come on please, come on. Why don't you move. God damit why don't you just move. Wake up!" Hank grunted through he's teeth, he skinny arms pulling as hard as he could to get the Metal-Bender out d the water. Hank may not have forgiven Erik for what he had done but he can't let him die, not maybe at least. French authorities were now clearing everyone out, their guns raised and ceasing the opportunity to keep the peace in check.
Hank noticed a group heading towards their direction and with a last attempt at pulling Erik out of the water he knew it was a hopeless case where before they had time to aim their guns at the mutant Hank become Beast again and sprinted off before danger came across his path. Pain lurked in his stomach as he left the scene heading back to Charles and Logan. He knew he shouldn't have left Erik there but it was his only option; despite he's anger towards him it wasn't fair to leave there, however Hank didn't turn back but kept on running and passing screaming crowds back to Charles, back to reality.
