*Story of Us* Young! Charles Xavier x reader

Chapter 6

The cold water hit you sending shivers of ice down your spine freezing your veins. You struggled on the surface of the water, the blood pounded behind your eyes. You gasped for breath, choking on the salt that burnt your throat; it felt like millions of needles punched into your neck and it burned. You fought against the pounding in your head and with all your strength pushed up to the surface gulping in the air. It took moments for your eyes to focus on the horizon: the shore was less then 50 meters away from the looks of it. With immense painful strokes, you struggled towards land letting the soft waves roll you.
___
You choked on a mouthful of gravel as you clawed your way onto the damp sand turning on your side coughing and spluttering up the salt from your lungs. You lied there clutching your ribs huddled on your side whimpering. Soon the pain subsided and the stars clouding your vision faded letting you see the clear sky above you. You wiped the mud and grime from your eyes and stood up brushing the dirt from your clothes. You hadn't done healing completely your head hurt like the dickens. A warm substance dripped onto your top lip and you wiped it off , delicately placing your hand to your nose where it bleed.
___
You limped towards the crash coming towards the east to where you saw the crew of the sub approaching your friends. Beast stood in defence with Alex and Sean next to him. Charles was in the crashed bird wth Moira and Raven. A flash of clothes blurred your vision as Erik ran past you not the sub knocking the hellfire member to the side. You gulped and swallowed your fear that threatened to throw up onto the ground as you jogged over to Alex and the others. "Y/n ! Are you okay? We thought you were dead" questions pounded at you and you leant into Alexs shoulder and patted him on the back reassuringly , "I'll be okay let's just deal with this first" you replied. The two flames of energy came to life like a vortex in the palm of each your hands. Beast was already tackling Azazel but you felt a certain debt for you to take on the red demon as payback.
___
You walked with purpose over to him he saw you coming and smirked evilly: Beast was on the ground the demons tail inches from his eye. The orange blast sped towards him pushing him of Beast. Azazel was gone in a poof of red and black you turned around viscously only to be meet by Azazels glare, his hair smoking ever so slightly. You fired more blasts dodging the strikes from the sharp sting.
The punches, dodges and blasts were reciprocated by you being dropped from great heights, yet you knew the trick from the first time as you enveloped yourself in an even stronger shield that made the land feel like a bed of marshmallows. You weakened every time you fell, your energy slowly draining. this time you hit the ground less luxuriously you groaned in pain. Azazel was approaching you his tail mocking you from behind him, Alex charged your opponent. You looked around and saw no one. Beast, Alex and Sean were nowhere as well Angel and Azazel. You turned around: you were in the clear. Riptide, was still trying to get the door of him you sent a psionic blast his way; just a small one to knock him out for a bit. The scream you heard broke your heart, you felt frozen in place mind racing. You legs moved out of accords of your minds towards the bird - towards the sound that you dreaded. You dropped to Charles side immediately placing your hand on his head hoping to ease the pain. Charles screamed his head held back in agony as the telepathic link sent a coin through his head killing Shaw.
___
Charles collapsed in your grasp and you cradled him close to you. you grabbed his face roughly and kissed him. You pulled apart quickly, the man you held looked up not your eyes sadly " you could've died" you cried. You helped Charles up waving Moira away as she ran to your side.
The remaining four of you walked onto the beach, you took a step back in horror as Erik threw Shaw onto the ground like some sort of broken doll.
"Today our fighting stops! " Erik floats down to the ground, "Take off your blinders, brothers and sisters. The real enemy is out there. I feel their guns moving in the water. Their metal, targeting us. Americans, Soviets, humans. United in their fear of the unknown. The Neanderthal is running scared, my fellow mutants! " Erik turned to Charles, "Go ahead, Charles. Tell me I'm wrong. "
"Charles?" You turned to him questioning, he looped his arm around your waist pulling you close to him. Moira ran off back to the plane trying to get in contact with the Americans. You flinched and stared into the distance, sure enough, the guns from the ships movies towards them. The others took a step back, Angel, Azazel and Riptide stood further back near the fallen body of their leader.
___
You could faintly hear Charles beg for you, "y/n no if you use that much energy there's no telling what could happen. You might not survive !" You ignored him, a pain nagged at the back of your head getting stronger you waved it off though and stood your ground. You held your arms up in front of you the sun switched on and off, the power surged in your veins coursing through your body out of your fingertips as a golden wall bloomed (like the image above ^^) The missiles changed direction turning back to the ships targeting them. You realised this and you used the last strength transporting the shield to protect the ships. The first couple missiles broke against the barrier, you were knocked down by Erik who then in turn was punched by Charles. You stood up quickly the shield weakened but you forced it to hold up. You sank to your knees, arms still out in front almost like you were worshipping the sky. Your head hurt like hell and the blood trickled down your face from your nose. Reality seemed to fade in from black to white, black to white, black. You rose as a blood curdling scream broke from your body, your arms spread out like an eagle sending a shockwave of orange energy. your eyes glowed the most pure gold, the shield surged with life but with every passing second as Erik threw all he had to stop you. You have to be strong for the ones your protected behind the dome, thousands of innocent men: It was your responsibility. A pain erupted from your side as if you got hit really hard with a bat. A tear tickled down your check and you fell to your knees crying out.
