Chapter Five:
Three Days after Breaking into the Pentagon
A man handed of a young girl to two doctors as rain and lightning poured down
"Your daughter will be well cared for" a man in a lab coat said to the father of the girl
"Keep her here" the man said as she handed over a briefcase of cash
"Of course sir"
"Let me go! Let me go!" was all the dark haired girl screamed as several objects nearby got destroyed.
"She's unstable, do not forget that"
"We won't"
"Good, make sure of it"
"LET ME GO!"
Bolting upright Lucy gasped for air as she ran her hands through her hair following the dream she had just had, looking around the room and seeing that half her belongings were on the floor.
"What the hell was that?" she whispered as she pulled her knees up to her chest as she wiped the tears that she'd cried in the night. It was impossible for the brunette to go back to sleep so she spent the rest of the night and following morning trying to control her telekinetic powers, levitating several small objects in an attempt to clear her mind.
"Lucy do you want breakfast?" a woman said to the brunette, completely ignoring the floating objects
"No, I'm just clearing my mind" Lucy responded
"You need to eat something baby girl"
"Hayley I'm fine"
"Lucy, put the objects down" Hayley sighed as her baby sister obliged her wishes and placed the stacks of books and knick-knacks down on the table
"What happened baby girl?"
"You're lucky you aren't like me"
"Lucinda"
"I read someone's mind the other day" Lucy whispered as she hugged her knees to her chest again "All I saw was darkness and hatred"
"…"
"I think I made a giant mistake Hayley"
"Lucy" Hayley sat down next to her sister and pulled her into an embrace, neither of them saying anything.
After talking to her sister Lucy decided to talk to the people who knew the evil in her head better than she did.
"We have arrived miss" the cab driver said as she pulled up at the rundown school.
"Thank you" Lucy smiled handing him the fare "Would you mind waiting here for a return trip? I won't be long"
"Very well miss"
As the brunette got out of the cab and knocked on the door only to have Logan open the door shocked at who her saw "Cindi?"
"Hey Logan, is Charles in?" Lucy asked as she stepped inside the mansion
"He's upstairs"
"Thanks Logan" Lucy said as she ran upstairs heading for the room the Englishman was in "Charles?"
"Lucy? What are you doing here?" the man in the wheelchair said
"You're in a wheelchair?"
"I needed my powers back. Did you mean anything?"
"You've been inside his mind haven't you? Seen all the darkness in their?"
"You mean Erik don't you" Charles said as he wheeled towards the female telepath as he held her hand.
"Yes, I read it after the Pentagon"
"And it scared you"
"The darkness in that mind made me sick and all I saw were flashes and blurry images"
"Lucy" Charles whispered when the girl fell to her knees and sobbing
"I'm sorry, I didn't know who else to turn too"
"It's okay Lucy. I've been inside Erik's mind and swore never to go back, you are still just a child"
"Do you think that I'm overreacting?"
"No, I don't"
"Then you should try and forget what you saw in Erik's mind"
"I don't know if I can"
"Try Lucy, it's the only way you are going to be happy"
"Thank you for talking to me Charles, I know you guys are busy"
"Take care Lucy" Charles said as the girl left the room and to the foyer and out the front door.
"Shall I take you home miss?" the taxi driver asked when the girl got back in the backseat
"No, there is someone I need to see first" Lucy whispered before giving an address to the driver who just nodded and took off. Leaning back into her sear the brunette sighed and stared out the window while the car continued to drive until they reached their destination
"Here you go miss"
"Thank you"
"Do you need me to wait again?" the driver asked as Lucy handed him the money and got out the car
"No, I have business to attend to near here afterwards" Lucy said as she walked up to the front door of the Maximoff house and knocked on the door, when Magda opened the door the woman's eye's widened slightly recognising the girl who had helped her son break her ex-husband out of the Pentagon "I was wondering if I could talk to Peter"
"Peter you have a visitor" Magda called out as she let the teenager inside her house
