Faster (Xmen Fanfiction)

Chapter 13

The next morning you awoke to an empty bed. You looked over to see the clock read 10:56am.

You sat up and rubbed your eyes before getting out of bed and heading to the shower. After you showered you got dressed and headed downstairs for breakfast.

You walked into the kitchen to see Alex eating cereal at the table.
He smiled at you nervously, "Good morning Lily. How did you sleep?" He asked
"Great! Thanks for asking. How about you?" You replied.
"Good. Look I um. I'm really sorry about las-"
"It's fine! You don't have to keep apologizing I'm not upset. If anything I'm the one who should be sorry. I flung you into the wall pretty hard."
He chuckled, "Nahh I deserved it."

You laughed too and sat down "Yeah you kinda did."

You and Alex talked for a while then Hank and Sean came in and you guys talked some more. You began to really feel welcomed and you were having fun.

After breakfast you went out into the garden and read while they rest of them trained and trained. You were a bit too tired from yesterday to train.

You were relaxed until you heard a strange sound.

You looked around but saw nothing so you shoved it off.

"I haven't seen you before." A voice said and you jumped up and saw a man standing in front of you.

"I um.. How long have you been standing there?" You asked.

"Long enough. Who are you?" He asked looking you up and down.

"I'm Liliana." You stood up putting your hand out. "You?"

He shook your hand, "Erik."

You smiled," So Erik. How do you know Charles?" You questioned.

"We're old friends. What is a pretty girl like you doing out here all alone?"

You blushed nervously, "I uh just wanted to do some reading while everyone was training. It's a lovely garden isn't it?"

He smiled which made him look even more handsome than he was before. "Yes quite lovely. May I sit?" He asked and you nodded,"Why aren't you training?"

You began to explain what happened the day before, "Charles says it's a type of telekinesis ."

He nodded, "Yes quite rare actually but of course very useful. I could use someone like you on my team."

"I'm flattered really but I couldn't i done even have any idea of what I'm doing I couldn't possibly be useful."

"Tell me you'll think about it?" He placed his hand on top of yours.

"It's a very slim yes. Very slim." You showed with your hand.

He smiled, "That's good enough for me."

"But I couldn't possibly leave my fiancé." You confessed.

He frowned deeply,"Fiancé? You're so young. There's so much out there."

You looked at the ground nervously,
" Well yes but I really love him."

He stood up, "Ha. Love."

"What do you mean?" You asked concerned.

He sat back down and began to talk about his ex fiancé. She broke his heart and you felt really bad for him.

You placed your hand on his shoulder,"Well not everyone is like that you know. There's a ton of people who aren't cruel and actually love and love hard. You just haven't found her yet but you will."

He half smiled, "Yes hopefully sometime soon."
"I'm sure of it!"

You and Erik talked for a few hours until training finished and Pietro came to find you.

"Erik." He said sounding confused.

"Hello again Pietro." Erik greeted.

"You two know each other?" You asked

"Of course." Erik grinned. "Pietro here helped me escape prison.

"What?!" You asked angrily. "Prison?" You jumped up to distance yourself from Erik and Pietro.

"Why would you do that?" You asked turning to Pietro. "Why were you in prison?" You asked turning to Erik.

"We needed him to save all mutants. Even you Liliana." Pietro said and he explained more in depth.

"Oh. Okay. But that doesn't answer why you were arrested." You said turning back to Erik. Be explained that he was trying to save the president because he was a mutant like us.
You sighed with relief.

Charles came out. "Erik. What a surprise."
Erik stood, "Yes I came to see you. Shall we go inside?"
Charles nodded and they turned to go inside.
"See you later Liliana."
After they were gone Pietro came and sat by you on the bench.
"What did he mean see you later?" He asked
"Erik said he would help me train while Charles helped you so that way it would be easier. No big deal."
"Oh. Just be careful. There's something off about him. I don't want you getting into anything bad."
"I'm not a child Pietro I know."
He smiled,"Good. Now let's go. Charles agreed to let me take the car to the beach lets go!"
