        Erik immediately got off of Lydia and Charles and Lydia rolled off of Charles when he suddenly sat up straight and turned to her, cupping her cheeks and scanning her face for any damage.

"Lydia, are you alright?" Charles asked quickly as he began to look over Lydia's body.

"Never been better," Lydia moved slightly and grunted at a short pain in her side. "That was a lie."

Charles shook his head at her, his eyes turning desperate. "I'm suppose to be looking after you. I made a promise to our father."

Lydia reached her hand up to his face and patted his cheek. "You are doing a wonderful job at looking after me. If it wasn't for you, my powers would have consumed me a long time ago," she told him.

"I love you, Lyds."

"And I love you, too, Charlie."

Charles smiled at the nickname and then hurried towards Moira, asking if she was okay. As everyone unbuckled themselves from their seats, they all looked through the small window at the trio standing in front of the submarine.

"I read the teleporter's mind. Shaw is drawing all the power out of his sub. He's turning himself into some kind of nuclear bomb," Charles informed everyone.

"We got no time. The Geiger count is going out of control," Moira announced.

"Moira, this is what we're gonna do," Charles addressed her. "Get on the radio and tell them to clear both fleets out immediately."

"I'm going in!" Erik announced.

"Beast, Havok, back him up," Charles said. "Erik, I can guide you through once you're in but I need you to shut down whatever it is that's blocking Lydia and I, then we just hope to god it's not too late for me to stop him."

"What about me?" Lydia asked him.

"You are staying with me. You are not going back out there." Lydia lightly rolled her eyes but knew that she wasn't going to be able to persuade him otherwise. "Good luck!" Charles called out to everyone. Raven began to make her way out of the jet. "Raven, stop!"

"I'm going to help them," she insisted.

"We don't have time for this. If anything comes in that entrance, you're taking care of it, yes?" Charles instructed.

"Fine," Raven spat out and made her way after the others. Lydia looked out of the window briefly at Alex, Hank and Erik before deciding that they will be able to take on the others.

Charles also looked out the window as Erik made his way into the sub. Lydia decided to connect her mind with Erik's as well so that she could also communicate with him.
