My Havok || Alex Summers

Chapter 2

Charles, Erik, Alex and I were all in the car on our way to the CIA headquarters in DC. Charles was driving, Erik was looking out of the passenger window- bored, Alex and I were sat in the back next to eachother. I had my arms around his waist and his were on my shoulders.

I started to remember that day two years ago. The day he was put in jail. We had only been dating for half a year and he and his sister went missing for a few days. The next week he was arrested for killing his captor.

A few days before he was arrested, he told me what happened.

I walked up to the door and knocked. Mrs Summers opened it with a terrified look which soon morphed into a relieved on as she noticed me.

"Dorothy. Thank god your here. We need your help," she said as she dragged me in and locked the door behind her.

"Sure, with what?"

"Alex won't come out of his room. He's scared about something all he says is 'go away," she explained.

I nodded and made my way up the stairs and to the room I was so familiar with. I knocked on the door, no answer. I knocked again, "Alex open up. Your mum's worried about you," I called through.

"Go away, Dot. I don't want to hurt you," I heard him faintly say.

"You won't hurt me I promise," I assured. It was completely silent until I heard a shuffle coming from the room. I stood back as Alex unlocked the door and slowly opened it. I walked in and he quickly swung his door shut and locked it again. I put a comforting hand on his shoulder to which he immediately tensed. He was warmer than usual but it didn't affect him.

"Something happened when we were held captive. He was going to hurt Haley and I got angry, then all of a sudden these ring of energy come out and kill him. I'm a freak who is probably going to hurt you."

"You won't hurt me Alex. I'm like you," I showed him the red glow that came from my hands.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked.

"I was scared you'd think of me as a freak. Then you'd leave me," I explained.

He wrapped an arm around my shoulders and kissed my head, "you could tell me you came from Jupiter and I'd still love you."

"What?"

"I love you, Dorothy Florence Mullins, always and forever."

I giggled, "I love you too Alexander Lucas Summers," I told him and smiled as he cringed at the use of his full name.

I smiled at the memory and snuggled further into Alex's chest. I watched as Charles smiled at the interaction through the rear-view mirror.

We arrived at the headquarters and walked into a small rec room. Inside there was a a girl with curly blond hair, a tan girl who wore revealing clothes and a black man all sat down.

"Right, okay then, Dorothy, Alex, this is my sister Raven, Angel and Darwin. Guys this is Dorothy and Alex," Charles introduced, he pointed towards each person as he said their names.

"Hi," I said, awkwardly waving.

They all mumbled hi back as Alex and I went to sit on the white sofa. Everything seemed to be white. There was a white table, white sofas, white walls. I was pretty sure by the end of this I was going to hate white.

A/N sorry for not updating recently and that the chapter is short.
