You have lost your way, but I have returned the Day of reckoning is here all of your buildings all your towers and temples will fall in the dawn and new age will rise, for there is nothing you can do to stop what is coming. This message is for one reason alone to tell the strongest among you does with the greatest power protect those without. that's my message to the world.
"Was that Charles?" I questions looking around
"How is he doing that with out Cerebro?" Hank asked in shock
We all looked up hearing Stryker knock on the window. "I know that voice. it's Xavier, isn't it? What's going on?" He demanded
"We don't know." Raven pleaded
"We don't know bro." Peter yelled right after
The lights started flashing and the sound of an alarm went off but we were to low down to see what was going on. Then all the sudden gunshots fired out and body went flying up against the glass of our cage.
We all waited scared anxiously to see what will happen next when Kurt appeared behind the glass
He was trying to tell us something but we couldn't hear him.
"What?" Raven said pointing to her ear.
He looked around finding the intercom but it was busted, and we could only hear a couple of the words he was saying.
"Stay away fro-
Move-
Stay away from the do
Sta- from"
"Stay away from the door." Peter yelled as Everyone backed up and I got as far away as the chains let me and the door blasted open
Hank grabbed a piece of rubble, smashing the cuffs off my wrists. And we all ran out into the hall to find Scott putting on his glasses and Jean standing next to him
"We know where the professor is." Jean said
"I think we might have a way out of here." Scott continued
"Well you've been busy." Raven replied looking at all the dead soldiers on the ground
"We had a little help." Scott answered as everyone made it out of the cage.
"Oh thank god y'all are ok." I said hugging both of them at the same time.
"Whoa, your not looking so hot are you ok."Scott asked once I pulled away "she will get better once get some energy in her. But you shouldn't be running you're only gonna make yourself more tired." Hanks said
"I'll carry her." Peter volunteered speeding over next to me.
I could feel my cheeks heat up "You don't have to I'll be fine."
"No I insist gotta start practicing for are wedding he said winking at me." and the next thing I knew I was scooped up in Peters arms bridle style and we where running down the hall way Kurt teleported to us while we were running and we all searched for an exit.
We made it to the hanger of the compound Peter set me down gently "thanks." I said readjusting my clothes
"No problem." he answered smiling at me I looked at his aura. It was impossible to read. It was just silver, moving in sporadic movements this kid seemed like he practically runs on Adderall.
"Hey, Hank, do you think you can fly this thing?" Raven pointing to the biggest plane in the hanger.
"Yeah, I can figure it out." He replied checking it out
"Hey guys, fly suits." Scott said opening a compartment that had a bunch in it.
"You got your plane let's go to war." Raven said throwing a suit to Hank.
We all grabbed a suit in are size changed and got on the plane
I sat in between Kurt and Peter silently gaining energy that I had lost earlier I could feel the energy from the trees as we flew over them, helping me getting my strength back
"Were you scared?" Jean asked turning to Raven "that day in DC, were you scared?"
"No." she said coldly looking over to me.
I gave her the look that says seriously try again.
"But I was scared on my first mission. I was on a plane like this with my friends. About your age. We called are selves the X-men." She said a faint smile appeared on her face and her aura got brighter
"Your brother was there." she said looking over to Scott "We used to call him Havoc, he was a really handful but when it came down to it he was very brave."
"What happened to the rest of the kids that went with you? The X-Men." Kurt asked
"Hank and I are the only ones left.
I couldn't save the rest of them, I told you I'm not a hero." She said avoiding all eye contact
"Well your a hero to us see you that day on TV changed my life." Jean said
"Mine, too." Kurt said
"Mine too. I mean I still live in my mom's basement but, you know...but everything else is uh....pretty much the same. I'm a total loser."Peter said making everyone laugh lightening the mood.
"A cute one." I whispered standing up and walking over to Raven
"Seventh world wonder 12 o'clock." Hank said as we all looked out the front window to see a ginormous pyramid.
"He has the professor in the center of the pyramid." Jean said Raven and I turned to look at her
"He's going to transfer his consciousness into the professor if he does, that he'll have the power to control every mind in the world." She told us removing her hand from her temple
"What the hell is that." Agent Mac Taggert said pointing to a bouncy of flyers by metal surrounding someone.
"It's Erik." I said causing Peter to run up next to me looking over my shoulder I felt his hand on the small of my back I don't even knows if he knows he did it but his aura still hadn't shown any change
"You guys help nightcrawler get into the pyramid. Get Charles." Raven directed
"Ivy you are coming with me to take care of Erik." She said I nodded
"How are you going to get through that." Hank asked looking at the metal death trap he had circling him.
"I can get you guys in there. I came here for him, let me help you." Peter said looking between me and Raven and we agreed for him to come with us
"The rest of you get Charles on this plane and get him out of here." Raven demanded
"We're not leaving without all of you!" Kurt states sternly
"Don't worry we'll catch up." Peter said sliding his hand from my back to around my waist
Am I the only one seeing this. Jean messaged in my mind.
Oh shut it. I told her in my head
"Hold on." Hank told us landing the plane
We exit the plan and leave MacTaggert there ready to fly away when we get back
"Hank stay with the kids." Raven directed as we started to go are separate ways
"Wait. Not all of us can fully control are powers." Scott said
"Then don't we need to Embrace them... we all do she said turning into her normal blue self." I could see Hank smile and his aura change he was down bad.
Peter put his hand on the back of Raven and I's heads and we ended inside the circle with Erik.
