Earth Bound || Alex Summers

Despair

Darwin who had been besides Alex when they all heard the thudding from outside, tensed.

"What was that?" He patted Alex on the shoulder as he stalked forward. Lila stiffened up at his urgent demeanor.

"No, something doesn't feel right," Darwin shook his head. Everyone followed him to the large window that currently had its curtains shut.

Alex lead Lila by her hand. When the curtains were opened, they didn't see anything. Nobody.

"No guards?" Lila mumbled to everyone, she clutched Alex's arm to her chest. Darwin started looking up to the sky as sounds came from above.

"What is that..." he trailed off. Everyone peaked up.

Yelling from afar could be heard as it gradually got louder, from above dropped a body.

Everyone jumped back, Lila and Raven screaming. Alex jolted back, shoving Lila behind him. Everyone retreating further into the room.

Not even a moment later, bodies started raining down from above. All of them smacking against the cement with dead weight.

"Holy shit. Holy shit," Lila went pale. Darwin began backing everyone to the wall, huddling up.

Raven was crying and Lila gripped her arm with her free hand. Alex keeping a tight grip on her other.

More agents flooded the court, one of them banging on the window. Shouting at them to get back, everyone complied.

"Do not leave that room! We're under attack!"

Just as the man finished, Lila screeched as a red man appeared behind them all.

"Behind you! Look behind you!" Raven and Darwin screamed.

The group of young mutants all ducked behind the couches as the soldiers shot at the vanishing man.

Lila covered her ears as she was squished between Raven and Alex. The blonde gripped her head and pushed her farther down to keep her out of sight.

Darwin stayed on his feet and used his body to shield the rest, ready to use his mutation as the glass broke from the spray of bullets.

Just as Lila thought it couldn't get worse, out of the opposite window they saw what seemed to be a tornado wiping out everything outside.

"What the fuck-" Alex grunted. Gun shots were heard farther out by the corridor as the red man from before sliced remaining soldiers to bits.

Darwin's eyes widened, "Stay here my ass!" Lila would have laughed if it was any other situation.

"Let's go! We need to go!" The oldest of the group lead everyone out of the death trap of a room. Alex was the first to follow, dragging Lila behind him.

"Don't let go of my hand," Alex pushed her in front of him to keep his eyes on her. "No matter what."

Lila nodded with wide eyes. Getting through the hallway they were stopped by more soldiers.

"We can help!" Lila yelped as they shoved them all back. The group tried to fight them out of the way to get to safety.

The ground shook beneath them and Lila glanced up as her pupils shrunk in fear.

"Run!" she bellowed as an explosion went off.

Soldiers were blown back as the group booked it back to the room. They were all cornered, tornado sweeping everything on one side and the red man finishing off the last soldiers.

"We're trapped," Lila croaked as she held onto Alex's jacket. A body was sent through the last remaining window.

Darwin had backer everyone against the wall, him, Alex, and Hank acting as a barrier as the man who made the tornados and the red man walked through the windows.
