Evelyn POV
It was nice having my brother and his friends in our home. The house came to life for once, and I no longer felt alone. They all entertained me by showing off their powers while I grilled burgers in the backyard. I turned the house into a bit of a party place in order to make the boys all feel welcomed and at home.
Raven and I talked about places I have been and what I had done with my life since she and Charles had been in England. I told her how I traveled around the continent and the country, meeting mutants and gaining talents in several industries. A bunch of skills like mechanics and writing that were truly no brainers once you learned what you were doing.
The whole time though the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I saw Erik staring at me. As if I was a puzzle he was given the task of figuring out. I only smirked at him every time I caught him, and for some strange reason he blushed. Then Erik would turn his head away and scowl at nothing in particular.
Banshee and Havoc were playing with Crea, Rain and Lucian. they seemed to be having the time of their lives playing with the huge animals. Hank was telling me how I was burning our food and I instantly threatened to blacken his if he didn't shut his trap. I was starting to feel like these people were almost family.
"Hey! Dinner's ready!" I called to them and instantly the boys froze and ran over for a plate. They were like ravenous beasts fighting for scraps, when there was obviously enough food for everyone.
"Woah! Come on guys, there is enough for fourths, you don't have to eat it all in a sitting." Raven chastised them.
I couldn't help but laugh to myself after i grabbed my own plate. Taking a seat not to far from the group I took it all in, my solitary life just grew a lot more complicated. Charles came over then and sat beside me.
"Evelyn, thank you for taking us in on such short notice." He began. "We do appreciate it."
I smiled at him and shook my head. "It's really not a big deal brother."
"Yes it is. You don't know all the details." Charles said grimly.
This made me curious and I looked at him confusion clear on my face. "Then what are the details?" Then he told me everything, and I mean everything from the CIA to his mutant quest, Shaw and a possible WWIII. To say I was stunned, would be an understatement.
