"Oh!" A tall blonde chirped as she took in the couple in front of her.

Lila's eyes widened and her face heated up. Alex cleared his throat and reluctantly let Lila go to turn to the stranger.

The brown skinned girl stuck her hand out, "I-I'm Lila. Nice to meet you, this is Alex."

Alex also shook the girls hand after Lila.

"Oh that's great! I'm Raven, Charles sister I was just going to ask him about the last two. I'm so happy to meet you!"

Lila's brows were raised, this girl was very chipper.

"Come! We have to introduce you guys to everyone. Hey, everyone look who I caught in the hallway!"

The new pair flushed at the insinuation and trailed behind Raven.

Lila had a hard time keep track of names, there was Hank a tall boy with glasses, Sean a curly red haired boy who was rather lanky with a kind smile.

At the father couch, Angel greeted her. She was a pretty girl with skin only a little lighter than Lila's and a pretty tattoo along her shoulders.

And lastly Darwin, a handsome man with rich brown skin and a mature air about him.

Raven had already thrown her arm around Lila, who sent an awkward glance to Alex as he covered his mocking grin with his hand.

"Do you want anything to drink?" Raven asked while leading her to sit on the couch between her and Hank.

Alex watched the two carefully before sitting down heavily in an arm chair adjacent to Sean.

Lila didn't even get to answer before a coke was handed to her. A grateful smile tugged at her lips while warming up to Raven.

"I love your outfit," Lila complimented. Raven had on a nice scarf and a slim black dress, nice boots reaching her knees.

"Oh thank you," Raven smiled genuinely while sitting down. On the other side of her was Alex who was constantly looking back at Lila as if to make sure she was still there.

Turning to Hank who had his legs crossed besides her she grinned, holding her hand out.

"Pleasure to meet you," Hank pushed up his glasses.

"I think this is all of us," Darwin leaned back in his seat.

"It's crazy there's so many here, I didn't think I'd ever be able to say I have other mutant friends," Angel laughed to herself.

"Not just mutant friends, a mutant superhero team," Raven wiggled her brows excitedly.

"Yeah well we'll be the best of the best," Sean was only half serious as he raised his soda in celebration.

"We should think of code names," Raven toyed with her scarf. "We're government agents now, we should think of code names," she shrugged casually. As if that was a normal sentence.
