CIA HEADQUARTERS, LANGLEY, VIRGINIA

"The advent of the nuclear age may have accelerated the mutation process. Individuals with extraordinary abilities may already be among us." Charles looked to you as he finished his presentation and you blushed.
"Thank you very much." He sat across from you and Raven.
"Mactaggert, you really think that some crackpot scientist is gonna make me believe in sparkly dames and vanishing men? You just bought yourself a one-way ticket back to the typing pool, this meeting is over." The man spoke, he shuffles and packed up his binders as agent mactaggert stood up to leave.
"Please sit down, agent mactaggert. I didn't really expect you to believe me, given that all you could think about during my presentation was what sort of pie they were serving in the commissary. It's apple pecan." He sighed and looked at you.
'I know what you were thinking to, love.' He said and you immediately blushed again.
"I haven't been entirely honest with you, love. I'm sorry. You see one of the many spectacular things my mutation allows me to do is that I can read your mind." Charles said in a rather annoyed tone.
"I've seen this before in a magic show. Are you gonna ask us to think of a number between 1 and 10, now?" The man with Stryker on his name tag spoke rather insultingly as Charles just chuckled.
"No, agent Stryker. Although I could ask about your son, William, who you were thinking about, which is very nice. But I think I'd rather ask you about the Jupiter missiles America are currently placing in turkey." He finished and both men were uneasy.
"Woah, bad idea, Charles." You whispered.
"He's a goddamn spy. You brought a goddamn spy into this facility!" The man yelled and everyone bursted out into an argument.
"Charles!" You growl standing up with Raven.
Raven changed to look like agent Stryker and you shifted your scales and webbed skin over your body.

The arguing stopped.
Everyone's eyes were on you three.
Raven changed back to her natural blue form.
"How's that for a magic trick?" You put your hands on you hips and looked directly at Stryker.
"Best I've ever seen." A man from the back said.
"I want them out of here and locked down until I can figure out what to do." The man in charge yelled pointing at the three of you.
"My facility's is off-site. I'll take them." The man from the back spoke again.

You were walking to the parking garage with the man in black, talking well, listening to his beliefs and theory's. But Charles kept staring at you.
'Stop it Charles. What's gotten into you?' You blushed again.
'You decided to wear the small skirt and heels.' He gave you that devilish smirk of his and he started to listen to the man talk.
'Shut up.' You bit your lip and kept walking.
You started listing when you heard Charles start talking about Sebastian Shaw.
"If we don't move now, apparently, we're gonna loose him." Charles said as agent mactaggert pulled up in the car.
The man looks at him questioningly.
"Not only can he read minds, he can communicate with them as well." Raven said sighing and as she got in the car.  
"Not to mention, mind control, memory manipulation-" Raven covered your mouth with her hand and glared at you.
"Miora and I have just had a lovely conversation." Charles bended his head down to look at her.
"Yes we did." She replied looking back to you both. Raven still had her hand on your mouth and you struggled against it.
Charles chuckled.
"Let go, please." You mumbled and she let go.
"Would you like to see one more magic trick?" Charles said and the man nodded.
"Get in the car."
"Good idea." And with that you all squeezed in mactaggerts car and drove off.

~On US coastguard~

"Look there's his boat!" You pat Charles on the shoulder, but then Charles started straining like he was loosing the connection.
"I've lost shaw, I've lost shaw. There's something blocking me. This has never happened to me before. I think there's someone like me on that ship." Charles said worried.
"Like you?" Mactaggert asked confused.
"I'm sorry, a telepath. This is incredible. I could actually feel her inside my mind. I'm very sorry, but I don't think I'm gonna be much help tonight. Your on your own.. wait-Y/n ?" He looked at you like your the answer.
"What?" You looked at him confused as well as agent mactaggert.
"Her mutation, it's quite extraordinary she could. -oh my god!" Charles stopped mid sentence and looked at the forming Cyclones.
"Jesus!" Mactaggart gasped just as the cyclones flipped the boats over.
"Get inside!" The man in black started to usher men back inside the ship. Including you and Charles,
"Stop, stop, stop!" He stopped and fell against the wall.
"Charles! Are you okay?" Mactaggert went to reach for him but you blocked her path.
"There's someone else out there." And with that Charles rushed out onto the deck and searched through the water. "There." He pointed to an anchor and chain that was floating in the air. You watched as it started to tear through the boat.
"Charles?" You looked at him asking if he wanted you to do anything.
"Charles?" You urged watching the man being pulled in the water by the submarine.
"LET GO! YOU HAVE TO LET IT GO!" He yelled at the man.
"You've got to put someone in the water to help him- LET IT GO! YOU HAVE TO LET IT GO!" He yelled again as he disappeared under the ship.
"That's it!" You took off your jacket and started running to the other side of the ship but Charles beat you to it. "CHARLES!" You screamed as he jumped down into the icy water.
You saw a stream of bubbles and struggle but couldn't find where he was.
You started taking the rest of your clothes off. "What the hell are you doing!" Mactaggert yelled at you.
"Just shut up and let me find them." You scanned through the water, you calmed yourself and then used you night vision to help.
"Found them." You smiled as you jumped off the boat and painfully transformed into a dragon of sorts. Just before you hit the water your wings caught the air and then you dove into the water searching for Charles.
You found them, shocking the hell out of this man that was behind him.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!!!" He yelled panicking.
"This is a close friend of mine, don't panic." Charles said swimming over to Erik.
'I'm not going to hurt you, Erik.' You said in his head.
"She's in my head!" Erik started to panic once more.
"She has telepathic abilities in her dragon form, yes. Don't worry. She's harmless.
Erik, You are not alone." Charles struggled to keep himself afloat in the icy water.
'Harmless! I might just leave you here then hm?'
You grabbed a hold of Erik and launched yourself out of the water and dropped him on deck.
You jumped back into the water and found Charles and once again, launched yourself out of the water and fell on the deck along side him.

You shifted back to your normal form and shivered covering yourself.
Charles quickly crawled over and pulled you into his embrace covering you.
"What was that?" Agent mactaggert stood there, mouth wide open and stunned.
"You might think of getting her a blanket, or clothes instead of asking questions." Erik said getting up and going inside and quickly retrieving a few blankets.
"How did you know-" the man in black went to talk but mactaggert shook her head at him.
Erik passed two blankets to you both and Charles covered you helping you stand.
You wrapped yourself tightly and Charles led you and Erik inside.
"What was that? If you don't mind me asking." The man asked once you all got settled down.
"My mutation." you grasped your neck and sides recovering from the transformation.
"Does it hurt?" Angent mactaggert asked looking at you strangely.
"Ofcourse it bloody hurts! My mutation allows me to shapeshift into a dragon, I also have a few other tricks up my sleeve." You said cracking your fingers and back.
"I didn't think she was strong enough to fully transform but, seems I was wrong." Charles said pulling you close to him as kissed your temple.
"You alright, love?" 
"Yes, I'm fine."
"Why do you hide it? You shouldn't have to hide." Erik asked you.
You blush and look away from agent mactaggert and the man in black who are staring right at you.
"We won't judge, could you possibly show us?" You stand up and shift scales all over your body, you resemble raven quite a lot with your mutation but your not blue and your scales only cover certain parts of your body, not all. You drop your blanket and do a full display. Then sit down.
"Gorgeous." Erik exclaims looking you up and down as Charles blushes and puts the blanket back over you.
"It's probably best if we go find you some clothes." Charles blushes leading you out of the room into a tight stairway corridor. "Are you ashamed of me, or something?" You ask and he stops.
"No I just don't like people staring at you, like your some kind of specimen that should be behind glass." He says looking into your eyes.
"Mmhm." You roll your eyes and cross your arms.
"I'm proud of you.." Charles takes a step down the stairs so he's on the same one as you.
"So what are you to me? Your not a specimen that should be kept behind glass and put on display." He reaches to your hair and tucks a couple strands behind your ear.
You lean your face up so you noses touch. You close your eyes when suddenly the door opens.
"Come on you can get some stuff when we're off the coastguard, let's go." Agent mactaggert says as she pulls you down the stairs. Charles follows closely behind you.
