After a few hours in the car, Bridget, Charles, and Erik arrived at the base. In those few hours, Charles and Bridget learned a lot about each other. Bridget learned about Raven, Charles' sister. And she learned about Charles' school, Oxford. In return, Charles learned many things about Bridget. He learned about her mother. He learned about her panic attacks and anxiety. He learned about how she wanted to see the world one day. And throughout the whole trip, Erik stayed silent. So, by the time they got out of the car, Charles and Bridget had become good friends.
Bridget stepped out of the car and smoothed down her dress, which was covered in grass stains. Charles stepped out after her, and then wrapped his arm around her shoulders, giving her a small squeeze. She stepped forward, out of his reach.
"So this is it?" She gaped.
"Yes. Is that okay?" He said.
"It's magnificent!" She smiled. "I don't think I've ever been somewhere this modern!"
He chuckled. "It gets better."
Suddenly a woman walked up to them. "Hello, Charles." She smiled. "Erik." She nodded. "And you must be Bridget." She held out her hand for Bridget to shake. Bridget shook it quickly. "I'm agent Moira MacTaggart. Welcome aboard."
"Nice to meet you." Bridget smiled.
"Charles told me about your anxiety; we have a doctor on staff who could probably prescribe something for it."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes." Moira smiled.
"Thank you!" She hugged Moira. Moira gave her a small pat on the back; she was obviously not comfortable with a hug after just meeting Bridget. Bridget let go with a huge grin plastered on her face.
"Let's introduce you to some of the other recruits." Charles chuckled. Bridget nodded and followed him. He led her in to a large room with three people in it.
"Charles, you're back!" A blond girl screamed and ran in to his arms. As Bridget watched him hug the girl tightly, she felt a pang of jealousy.
He let go of the girl. "Raven, this is Bridget."
"Hello." Raven smiled. That's when she remembered. Raven is his sister.
"Charles has told me a lot about you." Bridget grinned.
"Hopefully it was all good information." They both laughed. "I'll show you around."
She led Bridget farther in to the room until they were in front of a short Latina girl. "This is Angel."
"Hi." Bridget waved.
"Angel, this is Bridget."
"So you're the new kid."
"That's me."
"Why don't I introduce you to Hank?" Raven pulled Bridget away toward a tall man in a lab coat.
"Hank, this is Bridget."
"Hello." He gave a small wave. "Did you notice that you have stains all over your dress?"
Bridget looked down. "Oh."
"I'll help you with that." Raven pulled Bridget out of the room and into a large closet. "Pick from anything in here."
"Really?" Bridget gasped. Raven nodded and Bridget tore through the closet quickly pulling a block sweater, high wasted pants, and brown boots from their hangers.
"My mother never let me wear anything like this!"
"Why not?"
"Not conservative enough."
"I'll leave you too to it." Raven said and exited the room. She made her way in to the hall and through the room Hank and Angel were in and all the way outside, where Erik and Charles were talking.
"So, Bridget, huh?" She said suggestively.
Charles rolled his eyes. "She's just a friend."
"Does anyone really believe that?" Erik snarled. "You guys were flirting for four hours in that car."
"Really?" Raven chuckled.
"No!" Charles yelled just as Bridget walked out of the building and towards them.
"What do you guys think?" She asked.
Charles' mouth became dry and he started to stutter. "Uh, um, uh."
"You look great!" Raven cut in.
"What she said." Charles managed to say.
"Thank you." Bridget smiled and walked back inside.
Charles exhaled and ran his fingers through his hair. "Crap."
"This is the first time that Charles genuinely likes a girl." Raven whispered to Erik.
Erik snickered. "Good luck, man."
