"So, you can stay and fight for the people that hate and fear you, or live as kings...and queens." Shaw tacked on the last two words as an afterthought. He held out a hand expectantly, which Angel grabbed, and walked her over to some of the most intimidating-looking people Stella had ever seen.
"Angel-" Raven pleaded.
"Come on," Angel looked over at the recruits "we don't belong here, and that's nothing to be afraid of."
"We have to do something." Raven begged to the group. Darwin and Alex gave each other a knowing look and they fought; Alex shoved Darwin, and he turned to Shaw.
"Stop." Darwin called out, walking over towards Shaw. Angel smiled sweetly at him.
"Good choice," Shaw spoke smugly "so, tell me about your mutation."
Darwin shrugged. "Adapt to survive, so I guess I'm coming with you." Stella was horrified. How could this happen? "ALEX!" Darwin shouted. "DO IT!"
"GET DOWN!" Alex roared. Stella was rushed down to the ground by Sean, who had the same expression of shock that she felt on her own face. The four of them stayed on the ground until they heard the teleporting noise. When Stella stood, Shaw and his men were gone and Alex looked devastated. "He's gone." Alex spoke softly. "He's gone. Darwin, he's dead."
