Chap 10: Never let me go
"Lex, Lex wake up, come on Lex, dont' let go." A voice whispered in her ear. She wasn't dead. It took her a moment to realise who the voice belonged to. Her eyes shot open, and looked into a pair of sea blue ones.
"Luke. You came back." she whispered. He'd come back for her.
"Of course I did Lex, what do you expect. I can't just let you die without meeting Jake properly." he gave her a cheeky grin and stood up. He reached out a hand to help her up and she took it. As she got up, she gave him a massive hug. He returned it then took her hand and took her over to where Jake and Loki were standing. The rest of the Avengers, once they saw that Alexis was alright went to go check on the damage to the park to give Luke, Alexis, Jake and Loki some space.
"Lex this is my boyfriend Jake. Jake, this is Alexis. I'll leave you to talk, I want a quick word with Loki." Luke said to the small group. He was happy Lex was alright. He couldn't let her die. They'd come so close to death before, and that was the closest yet. He began to walk off, and Loki followed.
Meanwhile, Jake and Alexis began to get to know each other. It turned out that Jake had control over air and water, therefore had complete control over ice. Alexis was slightly jealous. While they were talking she gently began to invade his mind but couldn't. His mental shield was impossible to break. He began to laugh at her frustration. It was a deep, throaty laugh.
"Your not going to have much luck. Let me try breaking yours."Luke said to Alexis. Like his laugh, his voice was deep and throaty. He attacked. Alexis began to laugh. He wouldn't have much chance. Due to her bonds with Loki and Luke, her mental shield was 3 times better than hers on her own.
They continued to talk, and discovered that they had the same tastes in music. They began to talk about all kinds of things, and didn't notice the scowl on Loki's and Luke's faces.
"What's the problem?" Loki asked Luke. He noticed a slightly feral look in the boys eyes.
"What's going on between you and Lex? Your supposedly heartless and cruel, then I turn up and find you on the brink of tears. The descriptions don't match up." Luke said to Loki, stepping forward to intimidate the demigod.
"I was NOT on the brink of tears, and didn't you feel anything through the connection? It was like having my heart ripped out." Loki admitted. The boy was the only one who could understand.
"You have to block the connection. It can be useful in fights but otherwise it just causes problems. She'll only get hurt through it. She trusts you already, and I don't want her to get hurt. When she gets hurt, she falls into a deep hole, and it's hard to get her out of it. Please don't let it get to that." Loki scowled at this. "Who the hell are you to tell me what to do, boy? I am Loki..."
Alexis walked up behind them and gave them each a head slap. "And you're getting too big for your boots. Luke you should know better than this. I can look after myself, dumbass. Come on, we all need to debrief back at the tower."
Luke and Loki glared at each other. They both stood in the way of each other. Luke was used to having Alexis to himself, and didn't want the competition. Loki saw that Alexis still looked at Luke adoringly, almost lovingly. It had to stop. Alexis began to walk off then turned around.
"Wait a minute, who lifted the hell-hound? And where's it gone?"
"I did."
Alexis turned to Jake. "You have telekinesis?" she asked although she could guess.
"Yere. It's sitting in a scrap yard about 2 miles away." Jake confirmed.
"Wow. That's cool." Alexis said. The others began to walk off, and she began to meander behind them. She closed her eyes and when she opened them, she could see their auras. Luke's was blue like normal. Loki's was a mix between blue and green, and it was beautiful. Then she looked at Jake. His aura was white. She'd never seen a white one before. Hmmm.
"Come on Lex, catch up."Luke shouted back at her.
She began to jog. Time for some hacking.
