Mutant Love(X-Men First Class/Erik Lensherr)

Chapter 12

EricaP.O.V.

I started to change into some new clothes as Sofia was in her room, staring up at nothing. I put on my coat last. When I was done I knocked on her door.

"Yes?" Sofia asked.

"I know you want to come...but being here is safer." I said.

"I know."

There was a knock on the door.

"Me and Erik will be back before you know it."

No reply. I sighed before turning around and walking towards the door.

"Be good." I said.

I opened the door and walked out. Eric was leaning against the wall outside and got up and started walking with me.

"How is she?" Erik asked.

"Upset. But it's safer this way, if we come face to face with Shaw at least I won't have to worry about him taking her."

When we got to Russia we were put in a truck. This was our way in. Eric and Charles sat together. I sat next to 2 soldiers with guns. I shifted in my seat. Suddenly there was a knock on the back of the truck. Charles opened the little hatch and peered inside.

"We've got a problem." The man driving the truck said.

"What?" Charles asked.

"I'm so sorry, this wasn't on the map." The CIA woman who came with us said.

"No matter what happens act normally. I'll take care of this, alright?"

Charles closed the hatch and looked at all of us.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Okay listen to me." Charles started as the truck came to a stop. He told us the plan and I moved to be next to Erik.

"Erica, don't be afraid to jump in and help." Charles said.

I nod my head. Charles but two fingers on his head while I just let my mind go blank before I started to concentrate. Foot steps came from outside and the the humans with us put up their guns.

"Easy, easy. Take it easy." Charles said.

The back doors swung open. A Russian guard and the man that was driving us stood outside. I stood perfectly still. The guards says something in Russian. And from the tone in his voice if say he didn't see us. The doors closed and I sighed in relief.

I sat down and Erik grabbed my hand. I looked at him and he gave me a smile. I gave Charles a thumbs up as the truck started to move again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was sat up in a tree hidding as we waited for Shaw to come meet the Russian General. A helicopter came into view and landed. I watched as a woman wearing all white came out. No Shaw.

"Where's Shaw?" Erik asks taking the binoculars away from his face.

Charles takes his off and sighs.

"I don't know. She's a telepath and I can tell, she'll know that we're here. Let me try something else."

Charles put to fingers on his temple. I lay my head back against the tree. If Shaw isn't here, then were could he be?

"He's not coming." Charles says a minute later.

I sighed in frustration. Great. We came all the way out here for nothing.

"To hell with it!" Erik said.

I peered down at him in curiosity as he went to get up from his spot but that CIA woman grabbed his arm.

"Erik!"

"She's his right hand woman. That's good enough for me."

If he sent her here that means he's doing something much important that he had to be there. But what? I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.

"Erik!" I heard Charles yell.

I watched as Erik got up from his spot and ran.

"I need to leave." I said.

"No. Erica stay right where you are!"

"You don't understand Charles, Something's Wrong!"

I took my coat of and let my wings come out. With one Hard flap I went soaring up into the sky.

The feeling started to get worse as I flew as fast as I could back to America.

Something was wrong.
