How we accomplished Havok's training without dying I'll never really know. When, as the final test, Charles and I had to stand next to a foam statue, and Charles told Havok to chop the statue in half, I almost ran to China. Almost. But if Charles had to go through it, well, then so could I.
Finally the training was done. Charles and I had trained Havok, Hank, and Mystique. Eric had trained Banshee (AKA- pushed him off the roof.)
When Charles and I were taking a walk by the lake, Charles stopped. "You know, we never really trained you."
"Well, we didn't train you or Eric, either." I pointed out.
"I trained Eric." Charles told me, "And I started this whole thing, so I don't need training."
"Well, then what do you have in mind for me?" I asked him. "Run around the world a couple times?"
"While I don't doubt that you could do that, I think it would be better if you tried something a bit... different." Charles pointed at the lake. "If you ran the fastest you could, do you think you could walk on the surface of the lake?"
I gaped at him. "You mean, walk on water?"
Charles nodded.
"I-" I fell silent. What was the worst that could happen? I could sink in the middle of the lake. But I was a good swimmer. "I'll try it." I said.
Charles pulled me into a hug, then let go. "Good luck!" He said, his eyes twinkling.
I braced myself, then began to run.
