"Are you sure you want to do this? You will not be scorned should you choose to back out and live free on this island. There are other options." Elena said as she stood outside her master bathroom, waiting for Erik to be done in the bathroom as he gets ready for their mission.
Erik replied from inside the bathroom, "There are no other options Elena, you know that, and 'sides, after what I've done to Charles, I have to make up for my mistakes I made against him. He's lost his students once, if he were to lose them again, this would truly kill him in more ways than one." he said as he stepped out of the bathroom in a brown leather jacket, black turtleneck, black pants and brown loafers. To Elena; he looked like an assassin ready to kill. She smirked
at the thought, looking him up and down, appreciating the look.
"How far is the Teleportation Department?" Erik asked as he adjusted his jacket.
Elena created a ball of fire in the palm of her hand, "Not very far." she said as she tossed the fire in the air in front of her which opened up into a portal that showed the Teleportation Department. She made a gesture for an astonished Erik to go through, to which he did as Elena followed not to far behind as she closed the portal behind her.
They were inside the Teleportation Department's command center that consisted of both humans and mutants at their personal computer, typing and talking to other people with their headset, issuing and transferring orders. Three rows of computers were on each side of the wall, facing the opposite wall across from them with a pathway in between where teleporters appeared from circular platforms and marched towards the main office that had Avalon and Molly in there, waiting for Erik and Elena.
Erik and Elena walked into the office as sixteen teleporters stood in front of Molly and awaiting orders.
Molly addressed them, "Teleporters, you've been called in on behalf of the lives of mutant students that reside on the mainland. Each of you have been selected for this task because you are the best teleporters this island has. You've all been debriefed on this I assume." They all nodded in response.
"Good. Sayid." she called forth an arabic looking fellow. (Sayid on profile)
Sayid stepped forward, "Here Madame." he said in his arabic accent.
"You will be in charge of the transportation unit, we need to get these kids to the docks by bus to which each teleporter must drive in order to safely bring these children to Genosha." Molly explained his role as Sayid nodded in confirmation before his eyes landed on Erik, "This is the man that will join us on this exhibition." he stated rather than questioned.
Erik nodded, "Erik Lehnsherr." he introduced himself.
Elena further explained, "Erik will go with you because he knows the headmaster of the school where he will explain the situation and help him organize the evacuation of the students." she then directed the next set of instructions to the teleporters, "Each of you will take a bus load of students and teleport them to the cargo docks. The non-Genoshan workers there have the day off so we have until tomorrow morning to evacuate all the students. Do each of you have your communicator?" She questioned, the teleporters holding up their communicators that were wrapped around their wrists in the form of watches.
"Oh yeah, that reminds me." Elena said as she took out a watch and grabbed Erik's right hand and clasped the communicator onto his wrist. "Here's your communicator, if you're in any form of danger and can't call anyone, there's a red button inside, just flip it open..." she pressed a button on the side & it flipped open to reveal a red button that said 'emergency.' "...and press the button, it will alert us faster and will tell us your location." Elena explained as she closed the watch before turning toward the teleporters, "You are all to leave immediately, so you better be ready." everyone nodded as she, Avalon & Molly stepped aside and Erik went to stand with the teleporters.
Elena created a fireball the size of a soccer ball between the palm of her hands & looked at each of them, "Good luck." she said before she threw the fireball at their feet and opened a portal below them, showing the gate entrance of Xavier's School as Erik, Sayid & the teleporters fell down and landed in front of the gate as the portal closed above them.
Not a long one, sorry. But I had to get this one out. Don't worry, the exciting shit is coming in the next few chapters.
