Y/N's POV

We had made it to the Pentagon. Peter and I were waiting outside for our cue to go in.

"Y/N, there's something I need to tell you" Peter said, looking at the floor, unable to look me in the eyes.

"What is it ? Are you alright ?" I asked, slightly concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine it's just... the man we're about to help... Erik. He... he's my dad" Peter said.

"How do you know, it's... him ?" I asked, shocked.

"My mom told me my dad could control metal and he got arrested, she wouldn't tell me why. After that I did my own research, and there's no doubt, this guy is my dad" Peter said.

I could see that it took him a lot of courage to admit this to me.

"I won't tell anyone unless you're comfortable with it" I said with a smile.

"Thanks, I knew you'd understand. You always do"

"Peter, Y/N, the elevator downstairs should be opened" Hank said over our walkie-talkies.

"On it" Peter answered as he put his hand behind my neck so I wouldn't get whiplashed.

I closed my eyes and when I reopened them, we were in an elevator. There were two guards. One of them held a plate of food, which I assumed was for the prisoner.

One of the guards accidentally turned around to face us and I used my vines to trap them both to the wall. They couldn't move and they couldn't scream. Peter used his powers again, this time to change our clothes to the guard's uniforms.

One of the two guards kept on struggling, so I hit the back of his neck with one of the vines that held him. The vines became tighter so that his body wouldn't fall on the floor.

The elevator door opened. More guards were waiting outside, watching while we walked down the hallway. 

Once we made it to the end, a door opened. Inside was the prisoner's cell, which was underground. We walked in and the door behind us closed.

There was a hatch to put the food in. Peter put the tray in the hatch and managed to slip in a note that said 'mind the glass' with it.

Erik looked at the tray and the note before looking at us. Peter put his hands on the glass and used his super-speed to break it.

The glass fell on Erik who protected his face with his arms. I created a vine to help Erik get out of his cell. He climbed the vine and walked towards the closed door. We walked towards him as he began talking to us.

"In three seconds, those doors are going to open, and twenty guards will be here to shoot us" He explained.

"I know, that's what I'm waiting for" Peter said as he put one hand on Erik's neck and another on mine.

"What are you doing ?" Erik asked.

"I'm holding your necks so you don't get whiplashed"

"What ?"

"Whiplash" Peter said, this time slowly.

As soon as the door opened, I closed my eyes and when I reopened them we were back in the elevator.

The elevator doors closed behind us. The guard I had knocked out was still unconscious, while the other just looked at us with fear. The vines still held them in place. Erik looked sick, he tried catching his breath.

Peter changed us back into our previous outfits, and left the uniforms on the floor next to the guards.

The elevator began moving.

"You're good. It'll pass. It happens to everyone. I think..." Peter said, referring to Erik's motion sickness.

"You think ?" Erik asked, tiredly.

"I don't know the only other person who I've used my super-speed with is Y/N and she seems fine" Peter explained.

"You must have done something pretty serious to end up here" I commented.

"What'd you do, man ?" Peter asked.

"Killed the president" Erik answered.

Peter looked at me and whispered.

"Oh, wow"

He then turned around at the guard behind us.

"Shit" He mouthed.

The guard nodded.

"The only thing I'm guilty of is fighting for people like us"

"You know karate ?" Peter asked him.

"I don't know Karate. But I know crazy" Erik said, still tired.

"They told me you control metal" Peter said.

"'They' ?" Erik asked.

"Y'know, my mom once knew a guy who could do that" Peter said.

Erik looked around trying to think of an answer, but before he could, the doors opened, revealing Charles and Logan. The sprinkler system was going off, so we were all soaked.

"Charles ?" Erik said, shocked.

Whatever he was going to say next was cut short by Charles punching him.

"Good to see you too, old friend and walking" Erik told Charles.

"No thanks to you" He answered.

"You're the last person in the world I expected to see today" Erik said, sounding somewhat happy.

"Believe me, I wouldn't be here if I didn't have to" Charles said, angrily. "If we get you out of here, we do it my way. No killing"

"No helmet, I couldn't disobey you even if I wanted" Erik answered back with an annoying smile.

"I'm never getting inside of that head again" Charles explained as he got extremely close to Erik as Peter and I watched. "I need your word, Erik"

Erik nodded.

At that moment, guards burst in through the kitchen door and pointed their plastic guns at us.

"Nobody move !" The guards screamed.

"Charles ?" Erik asked him as we got out of the elevator. "Freeze them Charles"

"I can't" Charles answered, his voice shaking slightly.

Pots and pans began shaking. Charles realized what Erik was about to do.

"No !" He screamed.

I looked at Peter and he nodded. I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, the guards were on the floor and Peter was behind them.

We walked towards the door at the end of the kitchen.

"Thanks, kid" Logan said as he quickly put his hand on Peter's shoulder.

"Good job" I said as we followed the rest of the group.
