CH6: Always an X-Man

Erik didn't like this mans tone.

"That is no way to speak to a lady." The man gruffs. Moving with his killer speed he moved to fight. Erik did too then they both froze. Everyone froze. But their eyes only move taking in the frozen world.

"Thank you, Erik." She moves in between them. "Logan we are forming something greater. We aren't military. It's us mutants who will protect this world. I ask you to join us, again." She releases them. The world still frozen around them. Claws retracted. Logan stars at the telepath taking her in for what she is.

"I've been fighting all my life, honey." Erik bristled at the words. Taking exception to him calling her honey. Logan smiles at this.

"I know."

"What do you know?" She shared a knowing smirk with Erik.

"Everything." She backed up moving closer to Erik. "Your choice." She reaching into her pocket pulls out a card. "Call this number if you change your mind. Or just think of me really hard."

"What if I want you to think on me hard?" Logan challenged with a glint in his eye.

"You never want a telepath to do that." She shared the smirk back. "I could kill you." Turning to Erik she patted his shoulder. "Time to go." Erik places a protective hand on her.

Outside they took in the street. People still frozen.

"Impressive trick." She shrugged her shoulders for a second.

"Yet only a trick." People began to move again. Tilting her head her gaze looks down the street. A girl in a beautiful dress had walked up to a man surprising him with a kiss. Erik followed her gaze. Observing the loving couple. Then looking to the telepath. She sighed deeply. Something to dream upon, never have. She waved her arm up to hail a taxi.

"You'll never get one that way." Erik extended his hand. Stopping one by them. She smiled at the antics. What good is having power if you can't have fun once and a while.
