It's Always You
Chapter 9
The sun rose the next morning, but the start of a new day was not the usual comforting warmth Charles usually associated with the morning. He watched tried to stretch but the sleeping weight of Alina on his chest prevented him from doing so. He smiled and pressed a kiss to her forehead making her stir. She groaned and buried herself deeper into his embrace. Charles laughed causing her to look up.
"Morning Darling"
"Good Morning"
"Are you ready"
"As I'll ever be"
"Go have a shower I will meet you downstairs in a bit."
Alina nodded and sighing pulled her heavy body out of the bed and into the adjoining bathroom, discarding her nightgown along the way.
"Tease" was Charles' muffled reply as she closed the door
Alina laughed and turned on the water. She waited until it as warm and got ready for the day ahead. She grabbed a pair of navy trousers and a red blouse, and heels. She made her way to the kitchen, where everyone was congregated. She grabbed the mug of coffee a blue Raven handed her. Eric and Charles were whispering in the corner. Alina raised an eyebrow and Raven just shrugged. Charles stood
"We should go meet Hank, he told me he had a surprise for us"
Everyone gto up and followed Charles to Hank's laboratory, there was a note on the door it read …
'Gone to the Airbase, Bring the crate marked X. Hank'
Charles grabbed the note and opened the door to the office, everything was smashed up and most items were beyond disrepair. Charles made his way in while everyone else lingered in the door way
"What the hell happened here?" Eric asked
Alina looked at Raven, she just started at the mess. Charles had climbed over to the back and on a table sat the crate marked X. Alina made her way over as well and soon everyone followed. Charles and Eric pulled open the crate and everyone looked inside.
"Well Hank has been busy" Eric smirked
"Do we really have to wear these"
"Why yellow?" Alina asked groaning, her pale skin will look gaundice.
"Well as none of us are mutated to withstand extreme g-force or riddled with bullets I say we suit up"
Everyone continued to stare,
"Oh please" Alina sighed grabbing the suit with her name pinned to it.
Soon everyone was suited. Alina pulled the zip of the navy blue boot that was now adorning her foot. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled Hank had done good, despite it being tight in he breast area, inabling her to zip it all the way up.
They all started at the huge plane standing in the hanger.
"Wow" Alina whistled.
"Where is Hank?" Raven questioned
"I'm here" Hank's voice echoed around the hanger.
Everyone stared as he walked towards them, the shadows hiding him.
"Hank?" Charles questioned
"It didn't attack the cells it enhanced them" He said sadly. Everyone stood there is a state of shock as Hank was now blue and furry. Alina didn't know what to say
"It didn't work"
"Yes it did Hank, Don't you see this is who you were meant to be. This is you" Raven replied placing a hand on his face. "No more hiding"
"You've never looked better man" Eric smiled patting him on the shoulder. Hank got angry and grabbed Eric by the shoulder. He cried out.
"Hank" Charles cautioned as Alina jumped back.
"Don't mock me" growled
"Hank put him down immediately, HANK" Charles ordered.
Hank dropped him and Eric fell to the floor.
"I wasn't" Eric said from the floor
"Even I got to admit you look pretty bad ass" Alex said "I think I got a new name for you … Beast"
"I like it" Alina smiled, and even in her heels she had to stand on her tipy toes to reach his cheek, she pressed her lips to Hank's cheek as he growled. "Now show me this awesome plane"
Alina pulled Hank to the plane and he opened it for her and everyone followed them up and sat in their seats. Once everyone was seated Hank took his position at the cockpit area.
"Can you fly this thing?" Sean asked
"Yes of course I can I designed it" Hank growled
Alina buckled her belt and shifted uncomfortably her space between Eric and Alex as Hank started the engine, in.
"Don't like flying" Eric whispered in her ear
"Shut up or I'll make you jump"
Eric smirked and stared subtly at the way the material of her flight suite hugged her curves in all the right places, and pushed her breasts together, revealing just the right amount of cleavage.
