CH 7 Guess Who?

Erik POV

It is amazing what she did. Making them believe no one is there. She sighed with relief at the quick ruse. Clapping her on the leg.

Good Job, I congratulate. She smiles at me. Relishing in that smile. What the hell? Pushing the thoughts aside the soldiers jumped out of the truck. Jumping down I turn to Charlotte. She has a hand raised to her head. She must be trying to pick up on things. Getting numbers. Reaching up I grab her around the waist settling her on earth next to me. Agent Martin McTaggert observes my actions.

"Charlotte?"

"8, no 9 guards throughout the compound. Best view that way." We move into the trees. Martin keeping eyes on us. His partner still looking at us like freaks. Well we are freaks. Mutant and proud.

We crawl in the earth up to the hill watching the compound. Observing them.

Today would be the day. I would get my revenge.

Watching as the helicopter comes in. Only seeing Shaw's telepath exit and enter. Then Charlotte doing a trick to get info.

"Shaw's not coming." My blood boiling I go in. Not listening to my telepath as she begs me to stop.

Moving on I get inside. Then a voice in my head.

Erik, to your left. Turning at the warning I take care of the uncounted for guard. Then back around to collide with Xavier. Grabbing her. She looks at me. Not voicing my question for she answered it silently. This way. She leads us down a hallway.

Barging into the room, the scene lets say adult, but awkward. Mind tricks.

"Go to sleep," Charlotte commands. Then I want answers. Capturing the crystal queen. Warning from my conscious. But I still prevail.

Sitting down I observe Xavier as she uses her mutation on one like herself. Rubbing her temple when it's over.

"What did you learn?"

"We're running out of time." Emma Frost smiles at them. Charlotte exited the room. I merely watched tightening the metal around her wrist. Paybacks are a bitch.

GW?

The CIA comes through the doors taking over our prisoner. Ordering Charlotte to wipe everyone's mind. Which she does by standing ramrod straight for a second then looking at me.

Martin comes in placing a hand on her. She comes over to me.

"We need to go. Shaw attacked the complex." Griping her arm we go outside.

"Is Raven ok?" knowing that is where her heart is right now.

"I'm no good at this distance." We piled into the truck.

"We'll be there soon." I comfort her.

GW?

I call Raven beautiful in her natural blue. So does Charlotte. Remembering how he came upon them sitting quietly talking amongst themselves before the others came.

"So do you think any will look like me?"

"I hope so." Grinning at this. Charlotte has a way of seeing the good in the world. All the good. Believing that one should never hide. But noticed more that Raven did it more to protect Charlotte from others than for herself. "You're beautiful."

"No I'm not."

"I know you asked Hank to find you a cure." Watching the telepath shake her head. "Aren't you happy being yourself?"

"But I can't go out like this."

"I wish you could." Raven leaned into her sister.

"So what do you think of Erik?" Changing the topic.

"What about him?"

"He seems nice." The girls both giggle.

"Stop that."

"What about Agent McTaggert? He seems interested."

"Only in my gift."

"Letty, there is so much more to you than that. Why can't you see that? It's not like you can look into their minds or anything." The girls both laughed enjoying their moment of solace.

GW?

I hold her close to me all the way back to the government compound. As soon as the car stops she jumps from the car moving to her sister. Enveloping her in her arms.

Then we discuss what needs to be done.
