So, it hasn't been that long, and. This one is kinda short, and Alex might be a bit OC, but I still need to get a handle on wruting him.
Any One else see Days Of Future Past? I thought it was pretty awesome. If you did see it, you can tell this really doesn't fit the timeline anymore, but in guess its completly AU now, instead of partially. So yeah.
This one is in Scott's POV, so have fun.
Scott couldn't believe what was going on around him. He was sitting in a truck, between his brother and sister. The last time he had sat between the two of them had been on the drive to the cove that their father had kept the plane in, while they were in Hawaii, just before the crash.
It it was surreal. Alex was alive. His baby brother wasn't dead. No. Instead he had had to deal with his "abilities" as Alex had called whatever it was that he did(he had not fully explained his ability, they had almost immediately left the diner), on his own. He had to go through the system without a sibling keeping him sane.
Scott just prayed that that Alex hadn't had his own . Alex drove the truck with his jaw set, and Scott couldn't help but briefly acknowledge that he wasn't old enough to drive.
Though he didn't say it aloud, Elizabeth did.
"How come you're allowed to drive? Scott would kill me if I even tried to!"
Alex glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and flashed her a grin.
"My current.." He paused for a minute as if not sure what word to use, "guardian" he said it with a hint of amusement that made slightly worrisome curiosity raise in Scott, "doesn't worry much about the legalities of me driving. He has bigger problems at the moment."
"Right," Liza said, "you said you were staying with a bunch of other..." She trailed off.
Scott wasn't quite sure what to refer to people like them as either. Freaks, maybe.
"Mutants." Alex completed the sentence for her.
"There are actually others." Scott heated her mutter, though Alex didn't seem to hear. " , like, what do the others do? It's not all explosives and fire is it? She asked.
"Nah," Alex shrugged his shoulders, "Charles, my 'guardian', and the guy that owns the house, he reads minds, and-"
"wait," Scott interrupted in disbelief. He seemed to be feeling that a lot today, "this guy can actually read minds?"
"Yeah, kinda trippy, right? So, then there's Sean, he screams, like so high, that it can levitate him, and works like sonar."
"Now that, is trippy. " Liza said in disbelief.
"Sean is kinda trippy in general. I swear, that cat spends most of his time on some kinda drug. And then there's Hank. He's a bit... Different. Blue. And you really shouldn't comment on his appearance though. He doesn't like that."
"what do you mean he's blue? As in sad?" Scott clarified.
"no, the guy is blue, and furry."
"Groovy" was all Liza said as Scott digested that.
"So what do you do?" He asked his little brother. God that felt good. To think about his little brother, and not attach thoughts of death to it.
"A lot like your eye thing, except it comes out of everywhere, and in big circles."
Eliza nodded with understanding.
"Like how mine comes out of my hands."
Alex glanced at her again, as if trying to get a feel for his twin.
When scott actually thought about it, he realized exactly how awkward the situation they were in was. 'hey siblings I thought were dead, what's up, wanna come over to mine? ' yeah, it was more than a little strange.
"Hey," he began, "if you'd rather not talk right now, it'd be understandable."
Alex just shook his head.
"We haven't talked in twelve years. I don't plan on sitting in silence now that we have the chance."
Scott nodded in response. That, too, was understandable.
"So whats actually with the bears?" Alex asked, "Why did you have mind and I had yours?" He directed the question at Liza.
She shrugged.
"I dont remember much from before the crash, only little things, like how you used to always sneak into my room at night even though you shared a room with Scott, and mom and dad could never figure out how you got past the gates in the bedroom doorways."
"Huh.I actually kinda remember that. But yeah, i supose you wouldnt remember much either, we were only three."
Scott smiled at the two of them. It was nice to see them interacting. Even if it wasn't the inseparability that he remembered, the twins still felt that bond that made it so easy for them to speek to eachother, even after twelve years.
"The bears," he interupted, were something that I picked out for you in the hospital gift shop when you guys were born. But we were never sure why you always had each others. You only traded when you were headed separate places. I have no clue why you didnt have your own on the plane. "
He saw Alexs grip on the steering wheel tighten, as Liza looked up at him with her wide eyes.
"You never talk about that kinda thing." his sister said, with something akin to disbelief.
There was a pause, where none of them had words, and then Alex spoke.
"Well, we're here now, so I gotta get someonds to open the gate."
Scott stared out the window, at a large black gate, and a sprawling mansion.
"Nice digs." He heard liz breathe out beside him.
Alex just grinned at there open mouth reactions, and stuck his entire pure body out the window.
"Hey open up, it's Alex!" He called, and stretched his arm to place his hand on a smooth electronic looking pad.
It glowed green, then slowly, the gates opened.
