The moment you had reached Hanks lab you knew something was off. Look at the room it's trashed, paper where strewn around the broken tables, and glass. Your hand left Charles who stood at your side as you navigated through the mess to the box. You opened the box and saw a collection of yellow suits designed by him. Your hand covered your mouth as you let out a small giggle when you saw your suit; Hank included fingerless gloves that were fireproof. "Hank has been busy" Erik chuckled lightly behind you as he leant over your shoulder. Sean pulled his out and rolled his eyes grumbling ,"do we really have to wear these?" motioning to the bright wings attached to his suit. Charles looped his arms around your waist pulling you close to him, "As none of mutated to endure extreme G-force or being riddled by bulletsI suggest we suit up. " you held Charles hand as he placed a brief kiss on the top of your head, "looks like you two have been busy too" Erik whispered teasingly just loud enough so that Charles and you could hear, your cheeks burned up as you turned to glare at him. You grabbed your suit and went to get changed. Charles patted Erik a sarcastic well done as he left to get his own suit.
___
The suit slid on perfectly, it hugged your figure  allowing you to move gracefully. You looked at the mirror: you looked different than you did months ago. Your hair had grown longer and eyes shone brighter. Your physique is more toned, you could see the improvement training had on you. You looked good? Better than you have looked before at least.
You fought the nervous energy as you slipped on the gloves, you longed for Charles embrace: he always calmed you down and made you feel safe. You exited the room walking straight into Alex, "I guess it's official now, no going back" you sighed wringing your hands together. Alex patted your shoulder sympathetically and you jumped up taking Summers by surprise wrapping your arms around his waist burying your face into his chest stifling a sob. You pulled back and wiped your eyes putting on your best "let's go kick some crazy human killing mutants" smile.
___
You stood next to the plane, everyone beside you you craned your neck looking for Hank. "Where is he, Hank I mean? You asked. you saw a silhouette break the darkness in the far end of the hanger, "I'm here" that was Hanks voice but that was not Hank. Was it?
"It didn't attack the cells. It enhanced them. It didn't work" the blue beast that was Hank stated hanging his head low. Intrigued you walked foward ignoring Charles grasping your hand telling you to be careful. You walked up to Hank and stared up at his golden eyes. Yay an extra member in the gold eyes club: so far there was only you and Raven with the honorary member of Alex. You reached out cautiously - pulling back as Hank growled softly - you paused and stretched your fingers so that you lightly felt the blue fur. It was super soft. you leapt forward and hugged him burying your face just under his neck snuggling into the cloud-like fur. Hank stiffened but you couldn't help it. "Never looked better man."
Erik slapped him on the back. A mistake, a growl ripped the air and you were pushed roughly to the side falling on the stone cold ground next to Sean.  Hank barged forward choking Erik. Sean helped you up and you stood leaning on him, "Hank let Erik go" you pleaded as you saw the metal mutants face growing redder by the second: he gasped for air like a fish out of water.
___
""Hank put him down immediately, please. " Charles demanded you shot him a worried glance that he hushed, "Hank, Hank." He pleaded. Thankfully Hank dropped Erik leaving him gasping for air, you rushed over to him and crouched next to him hand on his back for support, "thankyou hank" you nodded at him he averted your gaze.
"Even I gotta admit, you look pretty bad-ass. I think I got a new name for you. Beast.. "Alex stated to Hank looking proud of himself you rolled your eyes at his childish feud with Hank.
___
You looked down -much like the first time you were on a plane -except this time it was the BlackBird. Raven sat next to you in her blue form, you smiled at her and she gave your hand a brief squeeze. On your right was Charles: your boyfriend, he gazed into your wide e/c eyes, I love you Charles spoke in your mind; even after all you two had been through he still made you blush, I love you ,Charles smiled lovingly at you. He gave your leg a squeeze as he unbuckled his seat assisting Erik in the search for the submarine. You were staring again; you averted your gaze from your boyfriend though you have to admit he looked pretty hot in his suit. "So is it official?" You turned to see Mystique staring at you with ernest
"What's offical?"
Mystique rolled her eyes and laughed, "you and Charles of course. Erik told me he saw you leaving my brothers room early this morning" you blushed,
"I mean I guess it's official." "The dating not me staying with Charles last night." You corrected noticing Raven mouth widen in surprise.
"Well, I'm glad. you make him happy" you smiled at that.  you glanced back at Charles who was deep in concentration guiding Erik who struggled with the sub.
___
A man stood on top of the sub, you quickly unbuckled your seat and made your way over to the bombay doors pointing at the man. The same one from back at Division X, tornado man. When the gust of wind hurled towards the plane you noticed how small the aircraft was, there was no way it could balance out this much wind. Your heart jumped up all the way to your mouth as your eyes widened. The plane violently shook and made a whole 180: you fell to the ground suddenly and hard. Your chest hurt and lungs rattled in your ribs winded. people were shouting your name but all you could see was a blur as you slid down the doors barely clinging on. Charles was barely pinned down by Erik which you only noticed in relief before you were pulled back by the wind hitting the submarine with a crack. Your head pounded in your ears, and within seconds you were falling straight down into the blue below.

Yay, we are getting to the fight. Sorry for the long/short chapter but I wanted to split the whole Cuba scene up into shorter parts so it's easier to read XD
