We're more alike than you think

44. Mind

Why did it take such a long time for Charles to come back? Did he fall down the chairs and hurt himself? The man was getting old, but not that old and with X-men still up and running he certainly was still in shape. You had travelled all the way from Europe to have a chat with this man, why couldn't he just play nice for once. If it wasn't for the fact that you had to travel back to the boys, you would be sleeping in this chair trying to catch up with the jet lag. You groaned before you stood up and walked towards the door. The second you open the door you hear the sound of a gunshot.

"Fuck"

You yelled. This was all a test by Charles and you knew it. You were immediately connected to the magnetic field when you took up your hand, but your hands was shaky and you knew you wouldn't be able to stop the bullet. You hadn't been able before, so why would you be now? Second before the bullet would hit you, Logan came up from behind, pushing you up against the wall.

"Y/n, you are not even trying, you have to try Y/n!" Charles yelled over to you. You looked back up to Logan who had a smirk on his lips. You pressed yourself against the wall before you kicked Logan away from you. You immediately went for the batons in the holsters. You were not prepared to fight with your powers and Charles knew that. Logan went right back at you in combat, but you held your own beside him. "Y/n, you have to let go!" Charles yelled at you. If it wasn't for Logan, you would've easily ran over to Charles and rip his head off, but it was too late for that. "I can't!" you yelled back. Logan looked at you with a smile "Don't blame me, I'm just doing what the man tells me." The fight was even, until Logan took out his claws and was able to kick the batons away over to Hank and Charles who took them. You looked up at Logan in anger.

"Really, you really had to do that?!" you yelled in annoyance.

"Well, this is how your father thought mutants learned best" Charles yelled back.

"Oh, really? The father that I ran away from because he was such a great man?" you yelled in annoyance.

You could hear Charles' laughter from afar. He loved this so much. You looked up at Logan before you ran over to him and tried to do a kick spark on his chest to make him lose balance, but Logan took your foot and threw you right down at the floor. You groaned low and tried to stand up, but now he got the upper hand cause you were left without a chance. He threw you against the wall.

"Y/n, I need you to focus... let yourself fall, only this way your body can and will connect to your powers, like a simple thought" Charles said but through his thoughts. You tried to push Logan away, but he was far too strong. Tears started to stream as you hit him in the chest, just trying to get him away. "I can't Charles, I don't know how" you thought. "Let me help you," Charles thought back. When you talked like this, with your minds, Charles was much softer, maybe it was all because of the pain you were in that he got empathy for you, but you appreciated it anyway. Charles walked closer to the two of you.

"Let me show you, what you could do, what you already have done... with good memories"
