It's Always You

Chapter 3:

The next day at roughly 3 in the afternoon, the car pulled up outside a large almost fortress like facility. They all got out of the car and stood in a line outside the building.
"Welcome to my facility" the man in the black suit, said clapping his hands together. "My mission has been to examine the application of the paranormal powers on military defence"

"or offence" Eric chipped in, as he came forward from his position at the back of the crowd. He was previously watching the two young mutants that had been accompanying them. His gaze ran over their apperance, both in mini skirts, leather boots and jackets, Raven in a turtle neck an Alina in a large v neck jumper. He was admiring the view he recived until he heard what the man in the black suit was saying in which he decided to join.

"This guy Shaw or Schmitt whatever you want to call him, he is working with the Russians" Alina and Raven hung back whispering together bored of the 'adult talk' as Alina had dubbed it. "We might need your help to stop them"

"Marvelous" Charles said, Alina mimicking him behind his back, making Raven dig her face into her shoulder to muffle the laugh. "Are we to be the CIA's new mutant division yes?"

The man in the black suit paused in his speech and turned to Charles and said,

"Something like that"

"Oh joy, I get to be a guinea pig" Alina quipped

"Alina, be nice" Charles smiled looking at the woman behind him

He said leading them inside the building and into a large hanger, in which a young man in a lab coat, was situated

"Its supersonic" as they all stood under a large plane "most advanced plane ever built, you should see it in real life, it's incredible" he smiled, Alina smirked knowingly as Raven smiled at the young man.

"Hank, these are the special new recruits I was telling you about. This is Hank McCoy one of our most talented young researchers" the man in the black suit introduced. Charles let got of Alina's arm and made his way over to him

"How wonderful another mutant already here" Charles said taking his hand. The scared look on his face told everyone this wasn't something he had mentioned.

"Why didn't you say?" Charles said turning back. Alina rolled her eyes

"say what?" the man in the black suit said,

"oh because you don't know" Charles said shame overcoming his eyes "I am so terribly sorry" he said to Hank

"Hank?"

"You didn't ask so I didn't tell"

"So your mutation is what, your super smart" Raven asked walking forward, Alina felt the attraction from Raven towards the young scientist.

"I'll say, Hank here graduated Harvard at just 15"

"I wish that was all it was" Alina cocked her head to the side as shame emitted from him

"Your among friends now Hank, you an show off" Charles encouraged. Alina walked forward and stood beside Charles, placing a hand on his shoulder. Hank kickedof his shoes and pulled off his socks to reveal hand like feet, Raven, Charles and the man in the black suit all leaned over to take a closer look Moira poking in to. Charles made a mmmm noise

"Splendid, just splendid" Raven let out a huge smile and he smiled back. Alina lent on Charles who wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Sorry" pointing behind Charles

"Yes of course" Charles said leading Alina out of the way waiting for Hank to show him a trick. He flipped up side down and grabbed hold of the plane model. Everyone laughed in amazement. Raven walked over to him still smiling, Charles pulled Alina closer to him and kissed her head.

"wow you're amazing" she said

"Really?"

"Yeah" she smiled at him as he jumped down.

"Charles can I speak with you" Moira asked, he nodded, Hank and Raven walked off chatting in the corner. Charles pressed another kiss to Alina's temple and told her he would be back soon. She took a seat on one of the stools and took in her surroundings as the three men followed McTaggart over to another corner. She sighed and rested her head in her hands playing with a flask on the table.

"It's getting late" Charles said as Eric came out of Hank and Raven's hiding place, followed by a sulking woman and a nervous boy. Charles placed a hand on Alina's shoulder.

"Of course, I'll show you to a place where you can sleep, your bags have already been taken there" the man in the black suit said. Raven said goodnight to Hank by giving him a kiss on the cheek. His face went the color of a beetroot.

Eric, Moira, Charles, Alina and Raven followed the man in the black suit.

"Do you know his name" Raven asked, Alina just shook her head as he pointed a room for Moira to use, followed by Eric

"I'm sorry but the only other two rooms a I available one is a shared"

"You don't mind do you girls" Charles asked

"No" Raven said kissing Charles on the cheek and going in to the room she would share with Alina.

"You'll be across the hall" the agent said before bidding them goodnight

"Alina are you okay?" He asked as she lent against the wall

"this is all very overwhelming" she said

"I know my darling" he said taking her into his arms wrapping one arm around her waist the other tucking a loose curl behind her ear

"I don't want you to get hurt, when you jumped of the boat, the only thing I could think of was you were never going to come back"

"But I am fine" he said letting her go and spinning around with a large grin

"You are not invincible Charles" she said abruptly

"I know, but I am safe now and I am here with you" he said taking her back into his arms.

"That is not the point" she said playing with the collar of his shirt, not meeting his eyes.

"Oh my Darling" he said taking the hand from her cheek to hook it under her chin forcing her to look at him.

"Charles, I couldn't bear to see you hurt"

"Alina" he sighed

"Don't Alina me, I have a legitimate reason to worry about you all the time"

"Oh my darling" he said again cupping the back of her head and pulling her into a hug.

"Charles, this is all too much for me"

"Alina, I promise that I will keep you safe, but please do not leave, I have only just got you back"

Charles pulled back slightly and ran his thumb over her cheek to wipe away a stray tear that fell. Charles took a deep breath and pressed his lips lightly against hers. She looked into his eyes; the only emotion in his eyes was love, and honesty in the clear blue depths. She smiled and Charles took that as a good sign and reclaimed her lips. Charles ran a hand through her hair as her hand slid to his neck playing with the curls on the nape.

"Raven will be fine on her own," he whispered in her ear. She smiled and took the hand he offered. She stopped

"You're not doing this to quell your needs are you"

"No, I have waited years for this I am never giving you up that easily"

Alina smiled and pulled him to his room. Charles closed the door behind him and bought her lips back to him while pulling off her leather jacket. He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He smiled into her kiss before laying her down on the bed.

Charles heard the opening and closing of a door and a curse in German, he sighed, as he knew Eric was trying to sneak out. He quickly untangled himself from Alina's arms and pulled on his pants and shirt, shoes and cardigan. Pressing a kiss to her head. She turned over as he opened the door to reveal the snow white expanse of her back. He let a smile fall on his lips as he slipped out of his room and down the corridor after his German friend.
