"What are you doing?!" A woman barked. Behind her loomed Charles and Erik.
Lila flinched at the loud sound and Raven dropped her hands, jumping down besides her.
Everyone stopped, caught red handed and currently being stared down by older adults. Older adults with disappointed looks on their faces.
Lila wrapped her arms around herself, the sleeves of Alex's jacket covering her hands.
Raven placed a comforting arm around Lila's slim shoulders.
"Who broke the statue?" the woman, Moira, waved at it with wide eyes.
"It was Alex," Hank blurted.
Lila gasped as Hank snitched and Alex himself threw his hands up exasperatedly.
"No! Havok, we have to call him Havok that's his name."
Raven let go of Lila who tried to signal to her to shut up, but the blonde walked forward.
"And we were thinking you should be Professor X... and you should be Magneto," Raven announced with an excited gleam in her eyes.
Lila shuffled closer to Alex at their judgmental gazes.
"Exceptional," Erik scoffed before turning and walking away.
Moira stomped away and Charles went to follow, not before shooting Raven a disappointed look. "I expect more from you."
Lila pressed her face into Alex's biceps and looked at Raven worriedly.
"I-It's okay Raven, don't worry about him," she tried to comfort. Raven's face had fallen into one of despair but she still managed to send Lila a pitiful smile.
Everyone was sullen after that, fixing up the room before an agent came to escort them to a different wing entirely. One that was more guarded with less space.
Lila and Alex trailed behind everyone, Sean besides Alex.
"What if they send us back?" Lila muttered to the blonde man.
"They're not going to," he assured her.
She was wringing her hands together and staring at her feet, Alex felt a pang at his chest. He knew she didn't want anyone to act up before hand. This was the exact reason why.
"Look at me, Lila," he nudged her. They just got to their new lounge room and she turned to him with a small frown.
He tapped her chin playfully to keep her attention, "It'll all work out." Slowly she nodded, relenting.
