agape [Sean Cassidy×Reader]

2. Smash Mouth

The car soon enough pulled into a humongous building. We all stepped out and grabbed our bags bringing them with us. Men in black suits took us through security after extensively checking our bags.

We were now sitting in a office room with the director of the CIA, other government officials and Ms. McTaggert. Raven and I were sitting beside each other while Charles gave his presentation. "McTaggert, you really think that some crackpot scientist is gonna make me believe in sparkly hookers and vanishing men?! You just bought yourself a one way ticket back to the typing pool. Dismissed." A balding man, that must've been the director of the CIA said after the presentation.

"But sir-" Moira said.

"No! I'm not gonna believe in this!" He said angrily.

"I am one of those people." Charles said interrupting the squabble session between Moira and the director.

"I'm a mutant. I have the ability to read your mind." Charles revealed.

Of-fucking-course they thought he was loopy. "So what're you gonna do to prove it, ask us to choose a number between 1-10?" Another man asked.

"Actually agent Striker I could ask about your son William who you were thinking about, which is lovely. But I feel like I'd be more interested in the Jupiter missiles America is placing in Turkey." Charles replied.

The room went quiet for a good three seconds. "He's a God damn spy! You brought a God damn spy in here!" The director yelled at Moira.

"No I would never bring a spy in here!" Moira yelled back.

All hell was breaking loose, as men were yelling at each other. I shot up out of my seat. I changed into the appearance of agent Striker. Everyone went quiet.

Raven stood up too and changed into her natural blue form.

"You still think I'm lying now?" Charles asked.

"Get them outta here, right now, while I figure out what to do with them" the director commanded.

"I'll take them." A man in the back of the room said.

I changed back into my natural from as Raven changed into her disguise. Men in suits escorted us into a different room. While Moira and her work partner went separate ways. "My name is Agent Smith, call me Anderson. I always knew people like you existed." He said shaking my hand.

"Wonderful to meet you." I say.

"Let's go to the parking garage." Charles said.

We all walked down as Moira pulled up with a black car. "I'm just as interested in this Sebastian Shaw as you are, I'm more than willing to help you." Charles says opening the door to the car.

"Not only can he read minds, he can communicate with them." Raven explains.

"That is incredible!" Mr. Smith procalims. "But I can't just take you guys somewhere." Mr. Smith said.

I sit down in the back of the car with Raven next to me "You wanna see one more magic trick?" Charles asked him.

"Sure"

"Get in the car." Charles commanded.

"Great idea." Anderson said sitting in the front seat with Moira.

"Charles where are we going?" I asked after about an hour in the car.

"We're going on a boat with the coast guard they think they have a location on Shaw." Charles explains.

During the whole car ride Anderson talked his head off. As we arrived at the port. We rushed to get on the coast guard boat.

Raven and I rested on the top deck watching the water go by. We saw the sunset and the stars and moon begin to poke out in the sky.

Charles tapped my shoulder, "He's up ahead in about a mile. C'mon." He said to Raven and I.

The lights on the ship suddenly turned on and fire works were launched as a man on a loud PA said "Sebastian Shaw, this is the US coast guard! You're under arrest."

Charles began trying to connect with Shaw. "I cant." Charles said.

"What Charles?" Moira asked.

I looked over at him, "there's a telepath on the boat. I can feel her reach from here. She's blocking my connection. I'm sorry I don't think I'll be too much help here after all." He said.

Suddenly two cyclones made their way to the ship. "Holy fucking shit!" I yell.

Men started yelling. "Go c'mon let's go Charles." Moira and Mr. Smith began tugging us down stairs from the decks to try and get us inside the ship. "Wait!" Charles yells halting us. "There's someone else over there in the water!" Charles yells pointing.

To that direction we see a large metal anchor cutting Shaw's ship in half. Under the water a submarine is launched but its being held back. "Erik!" Charles yells.

Charles takes off his scarf and coat and runs to a diving board jumping ship and diving into the water. "Charles!" I scream.

I stand motionless. Everything was quiet even though it wasn't, everything felt quiet. Then the shadow of two men bobbing on the top of the water came into vision. I audibly released a breath of relief. "We're here!" Charles yells.

Coast guard boats take him and another man out of the water and the rescue boats were hauled out of the water. Charles steps on deck and I run to him hugging him tightly. "Don't you ever do that again!" I say.

I let Raven give him a hug as i look over the man Charles saved. He looked gaunt, pale as shit, he looked Polish, or German, I couldn't tell.

"My name is Erik." He held out his hand for me to shake.

I took it cautiously. When I did I felt a surge of energy, sorta like an electrical spark, come through my hand. Erik mustn't have felt it, "you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm fine." I say.

He smiles at me and goes to greet Raven. I felt weirdly powerful. I don't know why, but it was weird. Probably from the adrenaline.

When we got back to base we were accompanied by Erik as we went to a hotel. The CIA had taken care of out luggage and had it sent there. I fell asleep in the car, and was awoken by Raven when we arrived. I barely made it to Raven and I'm room before I collapsed on the bed, giving into much needed sleep.
