Chapter 3: CIA meeting, going after Shaw, meeting Erik and Hank.
Chelbell2016:
Ok I know its been over a week but I have really been busy. I hope that this chapter makes up for the lack of updates.
*Sister of Charles*
Charlene's POV:
We are sitting at a meeting with some of Moira's CIA contacts. Charles is doing a presentation for them to try and prove that mutants do exist.
He is the only one speaking. I am sat next to Raven. I hope that they will let us help but if not Raven and I can prove that mutants do exist.
"The advent of the nuclear age may have accelerated the mutation process," Charles says but none of the members look in the least bit interested. "Individuals with extraordinary abilities may already live among us."
Charles switches the screen off and we all turn to the CIA contacts.
"Thank you very much," Charles says concluding his speech.
He then takes a seat.
"McTaggert," one of the members says turning to the young agent. "You really think that some crackpot scientist is going to make me believe in sparkly dames and vanishing men? You just brought yourself a one way ticket back to the typing pool. This meeting is over."
I share a look with Raven and my brother. This isn't going the way we planned. I nod my head at Charles and inconspicuously I place two fingers to my temple and begin to read their thoughts.
Moira goes to stand but Charles speaks.
"Please sit down, Agent McTaggert," he requests gently and she does. "I didn't really expect you to believe me."
I nod.
"I mean all you could think about during my brothers presentation was what sort of pie they were serving in the commissary," I say next and the guy turns to look at me. "It's apple pecan."
My brother smiles before turning to Moira. I know that he wants to speak now so I keep quiet.
"We haven't been entirely honest with you love, I'm sorry," Charles says to Moira. "You see one of the many spectacular things both mine and my sisters mutation allows us to do, is that we can read your minds."
The men think we are having them on.
"I've seen this before in a magic show," one of the men says nudging the other. "Are you going to ask us to think of a number between one and 10 now?"
I chuckle but answer him.
"No agent Stryker," I tell him with a smirk. "Although, I could ask you about your son William, who you were thinking about, which is very nice. But I'd rather ask you about the Jupiter missiles America are currently placing in Turkey right now."
The CIA agents all begin to freak out as I finish saying this. Then Stryker begins to speak and his anger is aimed at Moira.
"He's a god damn spy," he says to Moira who tries to defend herself.
As an argument begins to break out I motion to Raven and she changes her look so she looks like one of the CIA agents.
Everyone stares at her shocked and I smirk as I now know that they believe in mutants.
Raven then returns to her blue form and they still look completely shocked.
"How's that for a magic trick?" Charles asks.
One of the men in the back is the first to speak. "Best I've ever seen."
"I want them out of here," one of the agents says and I share a look with Raven. "And locked down until I can figure out what to do."
"My facilities off site," the man who spoke before says and Stryker glances back at him. "I'll take them."
I glance at Charles as there is only one way we can do what we need to. We need Moira.
After Charles sends Moira a message, Raven, Charles, the agent who is taking us to his facility and I are walking through the parking lot.
"I've always known that there were people like you out there," the agent says looking at all three of us. "I've been the laughing stock of this agency for years but I knew it. Your gonna love my facility."
"That's gonna have to wait," Charles says as Moira pulls up in her car.
"Why?" The man demands to know.
"Agent McTaggert has a lead on Shaw," Charles says as we approach. "And if we don't leave now we'll miss our chance."
"What?" The agent repeated.
"Not only can they read minds," Raven says as we get into the back seat of the car. "They can communicate with them."
Raven slides over to the end and I am in the middle seat.
"Moira and I have just had a lovely conversation," Charles says glancing at the woman in the front seat.
"Yes we did," Moira agrees.
The agent glances at the two.
"That is incredible," he says in shock and Charles chuckles. "But I cannot take you anywhere else without permission from upstairs."
I smile at him.
"Would you like to see one more magic trick?" I ask him trying not to be suspicious.
"Okay," he answers me a little unsure.
"Get in the car," I tell him with two fingers at my temple.
"Good idea," he says slipping in besides me.
He gets in besides me and we take off. Charles and I can help the most so we are heading with the agents.
*Sister of Charles*
We arrive at the ship which Shaw is on. I can tell that there is three mutants on this ship. Both Charles and I try to use our powers to read his thoughts. But we are suddenly blocked by someone else.
Another mutant!
"We've lost Shaw," Charles explains to Moira and the other agent. "We- We've lost Shaw. There's something blocking us. This has never happened to us before. Charlene I think there's someone like us on that ship."
I nod my head in agreement.
"Like you?" Moira asks.
"Telepath," I reply and she nods in understanding. "This is weird I can feel her in my head."
"I'm sorry but I don't think I am going to be much help to you tonight. Your on your own," Charles apologises.
I gasp as a man sends a bunch of tornadoes at the man in the boats in front of us. I raise my hands and stop them before they hit them.
The man puts more force and I loose control causing the boats to send the men overboard.
"Get inside," the agent says to Charles who does as he is told.
I go to float up and go after Shaw but Charles grabs my arm.
"No!" He says firmly.
I sigh but follow him inside. We are just going downstairs when Charles suddenly tells us to stop before he cries out. Then I realise why.
"Charles, are you okay?" Moira asks but I stare into my older brothers eyes.
"There's someone else out there," we both say at the same time.
We both walk out the door closest to us and look out into the water.
"There," Charles points out.
I see a young man about Charles age swimming in the water. I see he has his hands up and he is trying to control the ship.
So does he have telekinesis like me or is it something else.
He sends the anchor to destroy the boat. If it gets too much I can help him. I then spot the man look down as a submarine comes out of the bottom of the ship.
Erik uses his hands to try and raise it but I know that even with my power added it will be too much.
"LET GO!" Charles yells to the man. "YOU HAVE TO LET IT GO! You've got to help him you have to get someone in the water with him."
He says the last bit to the two agents behind us. Charles continues to yell at the man but I know that I need to do something. I take Charles hand and I use a power I have never used yet as it was passed on when my grandma died a few years ago.
I teleport us into the water and Charles grabs Erik.
The man looks shocked and angry as he looks back at the two of us.
Charles speaks to him in his mind but I leave it to him for now. I just learned his name and that is it.
We all then float up so we are no longer under water.
"Get off me!" Erik tells Charles as he glances at the two of us. "Get off!"
"Calm down!" I tell him and he glares at me and then my brother.
"WE'RE HERE!" Charles yells to the ship.
"Who are you both?" Erik demands to know still freaking out.
"My names Charles Xavier," my brother says before motioning to me. "This is my younger sister Charlene."
"You wer in my head," Erik says still looking at Charles. "How did you do that?"
"You have your tricks and we have ours," I explain. "We're like you Erik."
"Now calm your mind," Charles tells him.
Erik is shocked to learn that there is others like him. "I thought was alone."
"You're not alone," I say shaking my head.
"Erik your not alone," Charles says before turning to me. "Can you get us back on the ship?"
I nod and teleport us back onto the ship. It felt good to be able to use my other powers. I only usually use telepathy.
*Sister of Charles*
With Raven now with us we head to the CIA base. We get out of the car and I look up at the building. It looks nice but I am worried about what the government wants with us.
"Welcome to my facility," the agent says.
As he begins to explain different things I glance at Erik who also looks unsure. I walk over to him.
"Your not the only one who doesn't like this," I tell him smiling.
He turns to me and gives me the first ever smile I have seen him give. I return it and we follow the others. Charles glances back and smiles at me.
"This guy Shaw, Schmidt," the agent continues as I catch up to the conversation. "We might need your help to stop him."
"Marvellous," Charles says and I roll my eyes from besides Raven. "So were to be the CIA's new mutant division yes?"
Glasses nods at him. "Something like that."
We are now standing in a large room, looking at a model of a very impressive plane.
"It's uh supersonic," a young brown haired man with glasses says walking towards us. "Most advanced plane ever built. You should see it in real life. It's incredible."
I smile at him as I realise that he is one of us.
"Hank," the agent says to the young man giving the rest of us a name. "These are the special new recruits I was telling you about. This is Hank McCoy. One of our most talented young researchers."
Hank smiles at all of us and Charles moves forwards.
"How wonderful," Charles says and he shakes Hanks hand. "Another mutant already here. Why didn't you say?"
I feel like face palming as my brother says this. Could he not be a bit more subtle.
"Say what?" The agent says.
"Because he didn't know," I point out to Charles as I walk over and give hank a small smile. "I do apologise my brother didn't mean to say it like that."
Hank just gives me a grateful look as we shake hands.
"I am so, so terribly sorry," Charles says looking upset.
The agent walks over to Hank looking shocked as he realises that hank is one of us. "Hank?"
"You didn't ask so I didn't tell," Hank explains.
"So your mutation is what?" Raven asks looking excited as she walks over to us. "Your super smart?"
Charles replies and I smile at the way Hank looks at Raven.
"I'll say," Charles says as he reads Hanks mind. "Hank here graduated Harvard at the age of fifteen."
Hank still looks a little unsure.
"I wish that's all it was," he says.
"Your among friends now Hank," I remind him gently. "You can show off."
Hank glances at all of us. He then begins to take off first his shoes and then his socks. As he does this his feet become exactly like hands he would be able to grip things and run really fast.
"Splendid," Charles says chuckling.
Seeing everyone being impressed rather then disgusted Hank decides to show us what he can do. He moves towards the plane model and I smile at him helping him to gain confidence.
He jumps and uses his feet to grip onto the model. He is now upside down. We all clap and cheer. Raven walks towards him.
"You're amazing," she says to him.
I glance at Erik and I can see how shocked he is.
"Really?" Hank asks Raven.
I send a smile at my brother. Raven had found someone not so different to her.
