It was the middle of the Cold War and the last place that anyone wanted to fucking go was Russia. That included Erik Lehnsherr and Devana Finley as they knew that Russia was running some experiments on people that were way too close to the Nazis for their taste. 

Nevertheless, Erik, Devana, Charles, and the others made their way to the Russian Military Retreat where they were stopped by a checkpoint and Charles projected that the back was empty. 

Devana and Erik looked at each other as they sat next to each other. They were impressed that Charles had that kind of power and as the doors closed, Charles released his power. They continued on and Erik slipped his hand into Devana's. 

They snuck up onto the retreat and stayed low so that no one could see them. Erik and Devana immediately registered the helicopter that was landing but they also registered that Emma was the only one to get off of it. Erik clocked it "where's Shaw?" 

Charles sighed "I don't know. She's a telepath, if I try and read her then she'll know we're here." Erik looked at Charles as he spoke "I'm gonna try something else." Charles listened for a moment before speaking to the others "he's not coming. What now?" 

Moira spoke angrily "now nothing. We're here for Shaw. Mission aborted." 

"The hell it is," Erik angrily spoke before starting to move. 

Moira grabbed him as Devana looked at them. "Erik."

Erik turned back "she's his right hand woman that's good enough for me." 

"Same here," Devana nodded as Erik looked at her and smiled. 

Moira sighed "the CIA invading the home of a senior Soviet official. Are you crazy?" 

Erik shook his head "I'm not CIA." 

He then got up and headed off as Devana looked at the others and shrugged "nor am I." Devana got up and followed Erik to the house. Devana sighed "Erik, we need to be careful." 

"I know," Erik sighed as he slowed down allowing his only friend in the world to catch up with him. He had no idea why he cared about her but he did. "I just want him so bad Vana." 

"So do I." Devana nodded as she placed a hand on Erik's shoulder. "And we'll get him." Erik placed his hand on top of hers as they stood for a moment before continuing on. 

The others watched from the hill as metal and yellow wisps of energy plus energy knives attacked all of the guards taking them out one by one. Erik and Devana ran through the guards without a single problem. They ran to the house and into it taking down whoever was in their way. 

They burst into the hall and Devana shielded Erik from the bullets that would have hit him while Erik knocked the guns from the guard's hands. Erik looked at Devana as Charles joined them and they burst into the bedroom to be met with the official and Emma Frost. 

Charles put the official to sleep while Emma Frost stood up and turned her entire body into what looked like a diamond much to the shock of both Erik and Devana as they looked at each other with a questioning expression on their face.

Emma moved to the foot of the bed as she spoke "you can stop trying to read my mind, sugar." She stopped walking "you're never going to get anything from me while I'm like this." 

Erik and Devana looked at each other seemingly thinking the same thing before Erik took the metal at the foot of the bed and wrapped it around Emma locking her in place. Erik sighed "so then you can just tell us. Where's Shaw?" Emma still didn't speak so Erik turned to Devana "you want to do the honors?" 

"It would be my pleasure," Devana moved closer to Emma and placed her hand on Emma's shoulder. Emma, Charles, and Erik looked confused as slowly Emma turned back into her human form as the diamonds disappeared. 

Devana moved away and Emma looked at herself stunned "how did you do that?" 

"It's simple really," Devana spoke seriously. "I control all types of energy even the energy you use to transform. I just blocked it for a while." Erik and Charles looked at each other. Erik was reminded of Shaw but knew that Devana was nothing like him which made him more comfortable with her powers.
