Chapter Four: Jail Break
As Logan, Lucy and Charles followed the tour guide through the Pentagon main halls before falling back and heading down a flight of stairs towards the kitchen while Hank stayed in the group, as Peter had his own thing to do. Following the hallway the three entered the kitchen before Charles tried to get everyone to leave.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, this is a code red situation. We are evacuating the entire floor so that we, my, uh...associate and I can, uh...secure the prisoner." Charles rambled as two guards came over to them
"Who are you?" they asked the group, while Lucy and Logan rolled their eyes at Charles' attempts to talk his way out of the situation
"We are special operations CBFECIC. Look, perhaps you didn't hear me when first I spoke, that it's imperative that you understand we are in complete lockdown situation. We have to get you into the third floor..."
"This is why you brought me right?" Lucy sighed, looking at the older male who nodded and as her eyes glazed over slightly the two men walked out in a daze and Logan took the pan of the shelf nearest him and attacked the third guard who was coming up behind Lucy before turning to Charles
"Oh, I'm sorry, are you finished?" He asked the future professor who was searching the guard's pockets for the key to the elevator.
"Sorry, I'm just not very good with violence." Charles says as he unlocks the elevator door which opens to reveal Peter and Erik standing there
"Charles?" Erik questions, shocked to see the man he had crippled standing in front of him. To this he was met with Charles punching him in the face "Good to see you too, old friend, and walking."
"If that's not being good with violence, I don't want to know what is" Lucy giggled "You have fun Peter?"
"Definitely" the speedster grinned as he zipped to the brunette's side as Charles and Erik were at each other's throats.
"Nobody move! Hold it right there!" Guards call as they ran into the room,
"Charles" Erik said to his former friend
"Don't move! Hands up or we will shoot!"
"Freeze them, Charles!"
"I can't" Charles said, "Lucy try to freeze them"
"I'm not that strong, I can't" the young telepath said
"Hands up" the guard said as the metal objects in the room began to shake
"NO!" Charles says as he tries to stop Erik before he hurts someone, then the guards knock themselves out and the bullets completely miss their target
"Wow" Lucy whispers as she sees Peter in a Pentagon baseball cap on the other side of the kitchen "That was incredible"
"Thanks kid" Logan said to Peter as they walked out of the kitchen and rushed back to the car where Hank was waiting for them.
"Everybody in" Logan snapped as he sat in the driver's seat, with Hank and Charles in the front while Erik was sat next to Lucy (having refused to sit next to Peter) though the brunette was leaning on Peter's shoulder.
"That was a pretty cool stunt you pulled in the kitchen" she told him
"Thanks, so mind reader huh?" Peter smirked, causing the brunette to smile slightly
"Yeah, not as cool as super speed, is it?"
"I think it's pretty cool" Peter smiled at the girl, causing a faint pink blush to appear on her cheeks which she hid by leaning back into his shoulder
"What did I say about goo-goo eyes you two?" Charles threw in while glaring at Erik in the rearview mirror
"We're here" Logan said pulling up onto a private airstrip while everyone climbed out the car. Before getting onto the jet Logan pulls Lucy to the side and gives her a hug "Take care Cindi"
"Bye Logan" Lucy hugged the Wolverine "You going to tell me the reason why you wanted my help?"
"Not really"
"Take care Logan" Lucy said as the man boarded the jet and she headed over to Charles and Peter
"Peter, Lucy, thank you very, very much. You take care" Charles said as she and Peter shook his hand
"Hey, I saw your flight plan in the cockpit. Why are you going to Paris?" Peter asked
"Do me a favour and return it for me?" Charles spoke as he tossed the car keys to Lucy
"Sure" Lucy smiled "I take it you want me to drive"
"Probably the safest option"
"And Peter, take it slow"
"Soo, road trip?" Peter smirked at the telepath after the others were aboard the plane and the two teenagers got into the car
"Let's go then" Lucy said as she drove off and Peter fiddled with the radio before settling on a station that he liked.
"So, that was fun" Peter said like breaking into the Pentagon was an everyday occurrence,
"Fun isn't the word I would have used"
"It was fun" Peter grinned
"You are crazy, you know that don't you?" Lucy said as Peter just smirked
"You're cute, you know that don't you?" Peter shot back as the brunette blushed bright red
