"This is your house?" Cassidy stepped out of the truck as the members of their team followed and they all stood there in awe looking at the mansion, Charles moving to the front as he was admiring his mansion
"No.. This is ours now" He said as Erik looked at Charles and Olivia "Honestly Charles, I don't know how you survived. Living in such hardship." He said as he was being sarcastic and Charles chuckled as Olivia went towards him and he wrapped his arm around her arm while Raven went towards the two also as Charles wrapped his other arm around her side as Raven smiled at the two who were her best friends
"Well, it was a hardship softened by me.. By us" Raven said as Charles smiled and kissed Raven's head and then went to kiss Olivia's hair as he lingered for a moment before Raven grabbed Olivia's hand and they bounded towards the front door
"Come on, we'll give you the grand tour"
While Charles and Erik were outside for Erik's training, Olivia moved towards the stove of the kitchen and turned it on.. She always hated using fire when it came to fighting because using fire always seriously injured someone.. She preferred Water and Earth and Air.. She watched the flames as she turned it off.. She couldn't use it yet.
She looked out the window and saw Erik and Charles and watched as Charles refused to shoot Erik and she sighed softly.. This was gonna be a long day.
Hank recently built a suit for Cassidy that will help him control his power of his screeches, while Hank and Charles were in one window, Olivia was looking out the other window as Cassidy stepped on the window frame
"What's going on?" Erik asked as he was behind her and he wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned with her, she was blushing a bit as his chest was touching her back
"They're testing Cassidy's suit" She said, trying not to break her voice as she was shy.. Erik was never like this.. Touchy but she was enjoying it considering Erik was probably a hero in her eyes.
Despite how much Erik had been through, she saw the good in him.. No one can see the good in Erik, a few only and she saw the looks at times.. She sees when he's truly happy with the little wrinkles the side of his eyes create when he's smiling at her, the gentleness in his voice when he's speaking to her.. He never had hurt her once and she was grateful for that, all the boys in the past had hurt her and Charles had been the one for here alongside Raven telling her that boys will be boys but Erik was different.
She felt Alex and Raven joining as Charles was encouraging him, Cassidy screamed as he fell and Olivia quickly opened her hand and released a gust of wind as she helped break Cassidy's fall
"Thanks Olivia" Cassidy called
"We know you can control air and earth fine.. Maybe we can try some water practice and maybe try to freeze it for once" Charles said as he moved with Olivia towards the pond near the mansion that they loved to try fishing in when they were children
"Do you think there were ever fish in here?" Olivia asked as Charles shrugged at her
"Why don't we find out" He said as Olivia shook her head at him, frowning
"I've never worked with this amount of water before Charles" She whispered fearing she'll fail and Charles went towards her and touched her hand with his
"We'll keep doing it until you've got it" Charles said as Olivia nodded and she waved her arms up but only a small amount of water came up, she sighed in frustration as she released the water and Charles looked at her
"Soon you may be strong enough to move that whole body of water" He encouraged as she sighed
While Hank and Charles were with Alex, Raven and Olivia were together as they were sitting in the dining room after Olivia made lunch for the gang
"So how are you and Erik doing?" Raven said as she wiggled her eyebrows at her best friend, Olivia blushed and looked down at her mac and cheese
"Nothing, why?" She asked as Raven chuckled at her and shook her head at the brown hair girl
"I see the way he looks at you, how you look at him.. There's no doubt there's something between you two" Raven said as Olivia just shrugged at her and bit her lip
"I don't know, maybe Erik is just flirting"
"Erik doesn't flirt with me" She said as she sighed "Listen Olivia, as your best friend I think you should be careful as well" She said as Olivia looked surprised and Raven sighed
"Erik's mission is to stop Shaw, you told me how ready he was ready to break that girl's neck.. I don't know he seems dangerous" She spoke and Olivia nodding listening to her friend
"I believe he deserves a second chance, he's had a hard life ever since he was a child.. I think he can be saved" Olivia said as she took a bit of her mac and cheese and Raven nodded understanding this conversation wasn't going any further so Olivia spoke
"So you and Hank?" Olivia said as Raven blushed at her "What about me and Hank?
"Just that you two are very cute together" Olivia said as she kept her mouth shut once the rest of the team walked in after Hank and Charles were finishing Alex's training today
"How was training today Alex?" Olivia said as Erik got his mac and cheese and of course took his seat next to her as Charles sat at the head of the table and Alex shrugged at Olivia
"We're getting there, I think I'll learn to control the power soon" Alex spoke as he dug into his food and Hank smiled slyly as he took his seat next to Raven while Moira was sitting near Charles and Erik and Cassidy next to Olivia.
Olivia liked this, it was like a mini family dinner.
"Alright with these gloves you can wear, you won't be able to burn yourself while generating the power of fire, also I made the gloves water and air proof so they won't come off when you're generating those powers as well" Hank explained to Olivia as he held out a pair of black gloves that had a certain fabric as she thanked Hank and placed them on as Charles was next to her and he turned her to the pond
"Okay Oli, the gloves may help now since Hank also mentioned that it can help you control the amount of water.. You can do it" Charles encouraged her as she took a breath and she gracefully moved her arms as she saw some water coming up before she raised her arms up and only that amount of water went up into the air.. The whole body didn't go with it.
Olivia sighed in frustration as she sat down, Charles sat with her as he placed a hand on her shoulder as he squeezed it.. He knew it would take some more time.
After Cassidy's success in his suit, Olivia and Erik decided to spare but with a twist as Erik had metal bars with him as Olivia was slipping on her gloves as she looked at him worried.
"Are you sure we should do this?" She asked as Erik nodded at her "Fire is the most dangerous element and now that you can use it without hurting yourself we can fully use your powers so.. You're going to aim your fire at me and I'll block them with the metal bars" He said as Olivia frowned and shook her head at him unsure about this
"I'm going to hurt you Erik, I won't forgive myself" She whispered as Erik went to her and smiled softly as he rested his hand on her cheek
"You won't hurt me ever, just like I won't ever hurt you" He promised her as she took a deep breath before he moved back and he lifted the metal bars as she generated the fire as she started shooting fires, throwing punches at the fire as the fire was coming out and Erik was using the metal bars to block the fire balls thrown at him as she jumped and swiftly kicked the air as a huge fire ball came out, Erik blocked the last of it as he nodded but didn't look impressed
"You weren't giving your all there, you know that right?" He asked and she just shrugged at him
"I can't do that with you"
"Olivia you can do this" Charles encouraged her as he watched her lift a decent amount of water but not enough to lift the amount of water that was in the pond.. They've been at this everyday, Olivia had improving every day little by little but it still wasn't enough. Charles remembered that as a child Olivia had successfully controlled how to bend air and earth so easily, she never liked using fire because it burned her hands and water was easy.. She just couldn't lift a huge amount.
"What if I can't do this?" Olivia whispered scared as Charles chuckled and shook his head at her
'I believe you can do this Oli, I believe you can shoot for the stars' Charles spoke into her mind as Charles thought for a moment and before speaking again
'Let go Oli, just think of what you're fighting for.. Think and then just let go' Charles spoke as Olivia sighed softly and looked around the sky, the beautiful clear sky as she could see the birds flying.. The beautiful green trees around her as she closed her eyes and thought.
What was she fighting for?
That was something to think about..
There was so much to be fighting for, all of her life.. She, Charles and Raven had each other but as they grew older and their mutations grew in.. It was getting harder for them to be normal.. For Raven.
She was fighting for Raven, to make sure if they were all exposed.. Raven would be accepted.
She was fighting for Charles, Alex, Hank, Cassidy.. All of The Mutants.
She was fighting for the people's lives that were going to be in danger because of Shaw.
Olivia was fighting for Erik.
She knew Erik wanted justice for Shaw's crimes, all of the lives taken from the Holocaust.
But she didn't know that the next few days.. She would see Erik for who he really was.
She took a deep breath as she cleared her mind as she moved her hands gracefully as all of a sudden the whole body of the pond was lifting into the air and moving around in a circle as it was moving gracefully like her before she moved her arms up and the water raised into the sky before she moved her hands down and the water came crashing down wetting both Olivia and Charles
"Olivia I would be annoyed with you now, but I'm happy!" Said a soaking wet Charles as he came towards his best friend and hugged her as she smiled and hugged her best friend as well, she knew it would take a while before she could truly control a huge body of water, but she was ready.
"Thank you Charlie, you don't know how much this means to me.." She whispered as Charles chuckled as he hugged her back as they stood there for a while
After Erik and Charles had a disagreement in the dining room after listening to the speech JFK made, Erik made his way back to his room and when he opened the door he didn't expect to see what he saw.
Olivia in the bed.
Erik swallowed hard as he tried moving forward as he shook his head at her "I'm not in the mood Olivia, I'm sorry" Erik said as he moved towards the other edge of the bed and sat down to take off his shoes and she turned to face him frowning
"I did something wrong didn't I?" She asked and he shook his head at her "It's just I'm not in the mood right now" Erik said as he watched Olivia clung the sheets as she looked embarrassed as he shook his head at her
"You didn't do anything wrong.. It's just" Erik said and he turned to Olivia as she was watching him
"I'm not good with this stuff.. Being with women because it always ends up badly, I always make them hate me for some reason and then I have to leave and start new" Erik explained as Olivia nodded understanding and she kinda understood him.
"You're afraid of losing people, like how it happened in the past" Olivia said gently expecting Erik to be upset with her, for even talking about them.. His parents.
"I'm afraid because everyone I loved had died, I lost my parents and I'm scared that one day someone else be taken away from me.. That's why I don't really want to settle down" Erik muttered as Olivia nodded and spoke softly
"My father died.. Fighting in the war, he was a captain.. My mother was in grief she sent me to Charles' house a lot but his mom didn't care as long as she didn't cook or clean.. We had maids for that.. I went back home one day and.." She said as Erik went towards her and rested a hand on hers as he nodded waiting for her to speak
"I found my mom lying dead on the floor.. Bleeding. She had too many drinks and she slipped and fell and hit her head on the edge of the counter. I had to scream and cry until Charles sensed I wasn't okay and his mother and him came running into the house and Charles literally dragged me out of the house.. I've stayed with them and grew up with Charles and Raven. Of course once we started growing up me and Raven were placed in the same room while Charlie got his own room.. But I'm very thankful for the life I had despite losing both parents" Olivia said, she was truly grateful for Charles and Raven, they were her family.. Family was forever.
"I'm so sorry that happened to you" Erik whispered not knowing that.. He just didn't understand, after all the death and how losing her family.. She was still kind.
"I'm still kind because I had Charles and Raven" Olivia said suddenly as Erik nodded, he wasn't even mad at her for reading his mind at this moment.
He leaned forward and brushed his lips against hers for a moment, testing the waters a bit before she kissed him back, Erik knew they were going fast and he honestly wanted to take his time with her.. But he knew she cared for him, just as he cared for her.
"You won't be alone anymore Erik" She whispered to him and for the first time in forever, he believed in that statement because he knew Olivia won't ever leave him.. He would protect her until the very end, she would protect him and look after him.
She went in to kiss him again as he accepted it, he deepened the kiss and placed his hands on her face as her back hit the mattress.
Author's Note:
I guess you can guess what happened from there.
Not my best chapter I'm not very proud of it, but I just wanted to write Olivia's training, Of course Charles helped the others in the movie and he helped Erik with his powers but I wanted to focus on her this chapter.
I wanted to make Olivia bend metal as well with lighting but I thought it was too much and was relating to the Avatar world too much so I decided she should just do those elements, as well as a telepathic.
I've rewatched the new X-Men movie and I'm thinking and brain-storming everything, I'm gonna write the one shots once this story is done for Charlotte and The X-Men stories and once My Age of Ultron and Ant-Man and Emily stories will be done (They're be finished around the same time since they're half way in) DOFP will be written and then we go on from there.
I'm thinking of writing a Charles/OC story but it will take awhile since I'm writing a lot of stories and I'm writing until Infinity Wars and any future movies the MCU will have, and I just don't know if I'll have enough time.
I think sadly these stories are gonna end with Charlotte depending how the last Wolverine movie go if there's a X-23, I can simply create another character and go on from there but it won't be the same because I don't know if it will be the son/daughter of Wolverine and Charlotte or it's another character made from the DNA of Logan. I just don't want to create another character that's not related to Olivia or Charlotte because it's not really the same.
Of course if there's any future X-Men movies that have Younger Charles and Erik, I will write them because it's Olivia and Charlotte's story.
