Charles could tell she didn't remember that past memory when she woke up, her head hurting. Erik was wondering whether or not they should tell her that she had a sister, and Charles nodded at that thought, and Erik sighed.
"Lexi... there's something we have to tell you..."
Alexia listened in silence now as the pair told her about hiding that memory, about her sister.
"I have a sister-?" she gasped now, eyes wide. Erik nodded. "Her name is Elaine. She looked a tad older than you."
"Did... did she have red hair-?" she asked in a mutter now, and Charles said quietly. "You remember her to a certain extent, don't you?"
Alexia was silent at that, thinking- she had a sister. Was she special like her-? Was she human or a mutant?
"Do you think she's alive?" Alexia asked quietly now, and the pair were silent, genuinely not knowing if Elaine was or not. "Where are we anyway?" she asked now, looking around the lab.
"It's a place in CIA." Erik explained, then another man with glasses and a lab coat walked in and said. "Dinner's done."
"Thank god, I'm starving." Charles muttered, then walked off with the man in the labcoat.
"Wait-" Alexia said to Erik as he went to follow, he turned and got a kiss for a few minuets. "I missed you." she said softly, putting her head on his chest. Erik sighed and hugged her back.
"I missed you too."
In the other room, Charles listened to the pair, thinking- they really were two lost souls that had found each other.
After dinner, Alexia met Raven, who she frowned at, not sure if she was a mutant or not. Raven chuckled, then turned into Alexia before her eyes, and the real one laughed. "Who's that good looking girl I see?"
But it wasn't all fun and games, a little while later Alexia was laid out on the table in the lab, Charles sat behind her head with his hands on her temples, going through her head to find those remaining powers.
For some reason, Alexia trusted this man going through her most private memories, but she saw with a smirk in the reflection in the glass in front of her when he went a tad red, meaning he'd found something else.
"See anything you like?" she asked teasingly, and Charles scoffed. "I'll tell you when I do."
Alexia chuckled once more at that, then Charles opened his eyes and let her go. "There- what I could find I pulled back. Try reading my mind, I've lowered the barriers." he said, and Alexia sat up, watching him walk around to stand before her.
She frowned in concentration, then heard jagged words from the mans head, then snarled and frowned even more, determined.
Can you hear me?
Yes I can.
She broke the link off now, then Charles grinned. "See? You can do it. Just a bit more practice, and you'll be back to normal."
"Yeah..." she said quietly, then raised her hand to the clipboard nearby, then saw it shudder a little as she tried to pull it towards her. Charles watched, frowning a little as he saw her expression- like she was possessed.
"Alexia-"
"Shut up, I can do this." she growled, then the clipboard fell to the floor and she let out another snarl of rage, then sighed, calming down. "Yeah. More practice I think." then got up and walked towards the sleeping area where Erik was already in bed,
Charles watched her go, a slight frown on his face-
She was like a bomb ready to expload.
The next morning, Alexia woke up alone, then found a note on the pillow next to her from Erik saying he was with Charles, and going to be back later.
"Great (!)" she sighed, then got dressed and walked into the main room where Raven was sitting with a book, but now she looked up at Alexia's approach and smiled. "Hi."
Alexia sat down next to her now, then smiled a little back. "Hey. So... shapeshifter right? I get them mixed up so much with new ones around."
She nodded with a smile, then frowned at Alexias sigh. "You look troubled?"
"Not really, just... life."
Raven nodded, knowing about her current situation with her powers and sister.
"So how did you meet Erik?" she asked now, and Alexia chuckled. "1944 in a concentration camp in Poland."
Raven froze now- bloody hell. She listened to the entire story, then said quietly. "You really have been through a lot together..."
Alexia nodded a little. "Yes... too much. One of these days I'm sure my body'll just give up and go splat."
The shapeshifter watched the other girl get up now, then walk into the other room-
She really was a conflicted woman...
When Erik and Charles returned, Alexia had had something on her mind, then asked Charles.
"Can you find someone for me?"
He frowned, then asked. "Is it a mutant?"
Alexia nodded, and Erik guessed. "Evan?" she looked to him and nodded. "Dante said he was dead... I don't believe him."
Erik groaned, then said. "After Shaw took you, Evan went off on his own. I don't know what happened to him."
"Oh." she said quietly, but Charles said. "I can have a go and see, but don't get your hopes up. I'm still getting the hang of this thing."
"Thank you." she sighed, hugging him for a moment. "I wish there were more people like you in the world."
"Then the world would be a very weird place." he chuckled, letting her go.
Alexia was stood in silence before the mutant as he looked, eyes closed.
"Cerebro?" She asked Erik with a frown, and he nodded. "Yes."
"Huh. Sounds like that three headed dog from the underworld."
Charles let out a chuckle at that. "The only thing in here with bite is me when I'm hungry."
"Please don't eat my hand." Alexia laughed, moving her hand from the metal bar, making Charles smirk once more. "A wise decision Lexia."
Erik raised an eye at the pair- such a pair of little kids when they were in the same room as each other.
A little while later, Charles grinned and said. "Found him."
"Wha-?" Alexia said in shock, then shook her head, asking hurriedly. "Where is he-?"
"A bar. Kasts Bar."
Alexia sighed in relief, then nodded. "He's fine. He owns that bar."
Charles opened his eyes now and smiled. "Phew."
Erik walked outside now, then Alexia followed him and said. "Why does it feel like the calm before the storm?"
He nodded in agreement.
"Somehow, I think you're right."
