FOREWORD: ok! so in this chapter (wHEW ITS A LOONG ONE), i tried to be more historically correct because i felt like this book was lacking some of that stuff. because of this, i added some racial issues against neva and river since i imagine that during the vietnam war, there probably was racist people who disliked asians a lot. i hope i did not offend anyone or anything! also be ready for more sadness ahahahahaha...enjoy!!
this one is gonna hurt

"We're hurrying we're hurrying!" River echoed to Alex. Neva laughed more.
"Are you ready for New York City, Riv?" Neva asked the four year old girl. River nodded her head enthusiastically.
"VERY!" she said, excited. Neva held out her gloved hand, and River took it.
"Alright, let's go!" They walked downstairs together, and saw the three men waiting. Alex grinned.
"There they are. Finally!" he said, sarcastic. Hank rolled his eyes but smiled. Charles looked like he had actually tried to clean up himself. He was standing, a sight still foreign to Neva.
"You should get some patience, Summers," Neva murmured. Alex laughed and grabbed her other hand.
"Mhm. That is a term I do not seem to know, Ms. English Teacher."
"Alright lovebirds," Hank interrupted. "Let's go to the city before it's too late."
"I call shotgun," Charles said with a smile as they walked towards the garage. They all rolled their eyes.
"Charles!" Alex whined. "You always have the front seat automatically!" It was true, Charles always had the front seat because of his wheelchair. Even though he could walk now, they still always gave him the passenger seat out of habit.
"Off we go to New York! Woo!" Neva said when they were in the car.
"Road trip! Yay!" Alex said after.
"Yay driving," Hank said, a bit less enthusiastic.
"Aw c'mon bozo, you love driving," Alex laughed. Hank shook his head, but his smile gave himself away. The car started and the mutants began the drive to New York City.
It had been Alex's idea to go to NYC for a day trip. It was near Christmas anyways, so the skyscrapers already were decorated with lights and Christmas-y items. River had commented once in the kitchen how she had only been to the city once when she was a baby, so that was the inspiration. Charles was at first very hesitant against the idea. He didn't like to go out anymore, which troubled the rest of the adults. But finally, after much persuasion, he gave in. Neva was very excited, as it sort of was a tradition to go to the city before Sean left. She always loved to see the city in gleaming Christmas lights and glowing snow.
