By that evening, Charles and the two CIA agents were on their way to catch that Sebastian Shaw man. Aurora and Raven were told to stay at home by Charles, but Aurora's curious nature did not settle for his command.

The pair argued for an hour before Charles got tired of her clever reasoning. She was one very smart girl, and even if she had a chance to control his decisions, Aurora decided to use her words. If they had continued that argument, Aurora would have won either way. Charles chuckled at his defeat and cocked an eyebrow at her from the rearview mirror.

"You win this round, Ms. Liu."

While Charles was at the front of the U.S. Coast Guard's ship, Aurora and Raven were inside the captain's quarters watching over the current situation. It was part of the agreement she had with Charles.

Shaw's ship was now in sights. The guard sent out a few of their men on smaller speedboats to capture and make the arrest. The boats bobbed up and downs as they skimmed the water.
They were getting close to the ship. The plan seemed to have been working until riptides came up to the boats and flipped them over.

Suddenly, the whole ship was in panic. Raven's head turned sharply as she let out a loud gasp. Aurora's eyes went wide when she saw these men being flipped over and tossed into the churning, dark sea. She tried to access Charles' mind to see if he could explain what they were to do.

Before she could do so, someone had sent her a psionic blast.

She fell to her knees, clutching onto her head. Thousands of needles were slowly being pushed into her head. This was far stronger than what she could muster. Aurora shrieked and Raven was at her side grabbing onto her shoulders tightly.

"Aurora! What's going on?" She questioned worriedly.

Aurora balled her fists as she concentrated on getting her powers to work. Slowly, the pain was dissolving away and she regained her stature. She shakily got onto her feet and clutched onto Raven's arm for support.

"They have someone like me." She swallowed before she bounced on her toes and nearly sprinted towards the door. "We need to find Charles, now."

The two young women raced down the stairs of the loft, frantically searching for him. Halfway down the flight of stairs, Aurora cringed in pain once more. This other mutant knew what she was about to do and she wasn't about to let her get away with it. Aurora quickly shut her out once more and built a small barrier between the two of them.

"AT LEAST LET ME MAKE IT DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS, DAMMIT!"

Raven looked at her questioningly before they were sprinting down the stairs again. Finally, they found Charles and Moira running around as well. The two girls called out to him and quickly got his attention. Aurora felt her barrier being slowly taken down. This other telepath was much stronger than she was.

"Aurora! Raven! Are you two alright? Do you feel her too?" Charles asked quickly.

"Yes, I do." Aurora was panting now. "We need to act fast. This other mutant isn't going to let us get her or Sebastian Shaw so easily. There's more than one of them on that ship and they're getting away quickly. "

Everyone was talking quickly and rushing to get outside to the edges of the ship. When they made it out, Charles held out a hand to stop them. His eyes go wide as he starts to run out to the very edge.

Everyone's hearts were racing. The adrenaline was pumping through their veins faster than their bodies could comprehend.

Charles' hand flies to his temple as he quickly concentrates.

"There's another person!" He turns around and searches the small crowd for Aurora.
"Aurora! I need you to get into his head! Can you do that for me?"

Aurora frantically nods as she tries to find this guy's mind. Charles is looking over the edge as he spots a man being pulled by the submarine that Shaw was in. He panics for a second before he clutched the cold metal railing of the ship.

"LET GO!" he yells at the man being dragged. "There's someone in the water and we need to get him out quick." He turns to Moira and the MIB before yelling at the man to let go once again.

Aurora comes into his mind shouting.

"I've got him, Charles! He's not going to let go! I've tried getting him to do so, but he won't budge! You need to get him out of there before he gets himself killed!"

Aurora is on the frontlines of the ship, angrily glaring at the man gliding through the water.

Charles makes a mad dash to run to where she is. Her breaths are coming out shorter and shorter as she fights to keep him connected to her head. Charles reaches her and taps her shoulder before jumping head first into the water.

Aurora gets connected to his mind and uses his eyes to see what he sees.

"His name is Erik! His air supply is down to only 40%. Make him stop, Charles!"

Charles plummets to the water and he is soon on Erik's back, clutching onto him. He gets into his head and quickly begins to talk to him.

Aurora gasps as she nearly has a heart attack. She'll tell him off for this later.

Aurora is entirely focused on the two men that are underwater. Charles is telling Erik to calm his mind, but he is as hard-headed as before. Her hands ball into fists out of frustration and she grunts out loudly.

Charles' voice is in her head once more, now needier than it was before.

"He's not listening to me, Aurora! Talk to him! I can't get him to let it go!"

Aurora growls as she enters Erik's mind.

Calming herself quickly, she enters his head with a soft tone of voice. Her frustration was evident, but her sweet voice was more prominent.

"Erik, please listen to me. You need to let go. You are going to drown if you don't. I know that you need to do this but please! You're going to kill yourself. LET. GO."

As she reasons with him, she sees a vision of a frail woman in striped clothing. She feels Erik calm down and hears him silently mutter something in his mind before she loses him.

"Mama…?"

Moments later, Charles burst through the water with Erik in his arms. As soon as she lost the connection to both of their minds, she falls to the floor of the ship. Panting, she leans on her hands, exhausted from the amount of mind-power that she exerted.

Raven was running towards her with the rest of the crew behind her. She bent down next to her and held her shoulders. Aurora looks up from the ground and glances in the direction of the two arguing men.

"Get them onto the ship, quickly." She says to the rest of the crew.

The rest of the crew hurriedly ran around, looking for ways to get them out of the water.

Aurora gets up and puts a hand on Raven's shoulder, still a little dizzy. She tries to control her erratic breathing and lays her hand on her stomach. Aurora's eyebrows knit together as she angrily huffs. She bites her lip and glares at them. Standing up straight, she looks at them once more.

"I'm going to kill them when they get back onto this ship."

[ … ]

Charles and Erik were hoisted onto the ship and immediately got blankets wrapped around them. Charles looks over to where Raven and Aurora stood and smiles at them. Raven and Aurora both glare and walk toward him.

Raven got to him first and gave him a piece of her mind. She angrily yelled at him before hugging him tightly. After he let go of her, he looks towards Aurora who stood there with her arms crossed.

"Not you too, Rora…" he smiles at her one last time before Aurora stomps over to him and smacks him across the face.

"Charles Xavier, do you know how psychotic you are for jumping off the side of a ship?! Do you have any idea as to how much you worried both me and Raven?! You could've drowned out there! The current and riptides extremely strong too! You could've died you pompous little-"

Aurora stopped her sentence right there. She huffed before she pulled Charles into a tight hug. She clung onto him like she lost him forever. Charles' wet arms wrapped around her. He pulled her closer to his chest as he laughed at her distress.

"That was not what I meant when I said do something!"

She squeezed him one last time before letting go of him. She moves in front of Erik and shakes her head and crinkles her nose up at him.
"Why would you do something like that? Do you know how badly you could have been injured?!"

Erik looks down at her short stature and swallows hard. His eyes soften at her and his shoulders seem to shrug. He narrows his gaze at her and bites his lip. This little woman going by the name Aurora seems to remind him of his deceased mother. She spoke just as soft as she would. The way she acted seem almost identical to her too. The amount of compassion and caring that was always present in her voice was surprising to him.
He stood there looking at her in awe.

She understood what he was thinking and exactly how he was feeling. She had saw how his mother was killed by the Sebastian Shaw man and how badly he wanted revenge on him for his mother's death. Aurora tilts her head to the side and looks at him with a soft expression.

"How old were you?" she asks quietly.
"Too young." He replies.

The group quiets as the moment turns solemn. Erik pipes up after a minute or two and looks at the three. He pulls off the towel around him and nervously bites his lip.
"So you all are like me? You're different too?"

Raven nods at him and changes to her normal blue form. Aurora switches her hair and eye colors to several different shades of blue.
"I can't do anything physical…I don't look all that radical." Charles says with an awkward smile.

Aurora smiles at him. As she turns to look at Raven, she notices that she seems to be looking at him with fascination. Erik looked at her with the same intrigued expression.
"So I'm guessing you're a shape shifter?" Erik asks.
"Yes, and you control metal."

He huffs at her reply and looks up to Charles and Aurora.
"What are you two going to do with me then?"

The threesome looks at each other and cock eyebrows. Charles puts his hands on his hips and smiles.
"What would you say if I offered you a shot at learning ways to better control your powers?"
