What happened to everything?

Chapter 2

I was in the house playing with tommy and Amelia while Charles was once again in his study either taking his medication or was having another drink. The medication that hank had given Charles was able to make him walk again and so therefore we were able to have two wonderful children 6 years ago but when the school started to loose students like Alex to the war, Charles lost it and turned to alcohol for support. He was old Charles around the kids but around me and hank he was a totally different man and I feel like I no longer have the man I love in that head of his hut I have a Now drunken man who was mad  at everything in life.

I heard a car pull up in front of the house but chose to ignore it and carried on playing with the kids until I heard a knock at the door and went to go get up but I heard 

"I've got it" hank called out and I nodded to myself but still started to make my way down the stairs with the kids as curious as I am holding onto the back of my play suit that I wore with a black cardigan over the top and my hair in its usual curls

"May I help you?" I heard hank ask as I travelled further to the door

"Uh yea, what happened to the school?" The make behind the door asked hank

"The schools been shut for years" hank said confused as I was

"Are you a parent?" Hank asked him and he chuckled a little

" sure hope not" he said and I was at the bottom of the stairs now and was listening to their conversation

"Who are you?" The man asked hank

"I'm hank" hank said and I slapped my hand over my face. Can hank be that stupid sometimes

"Hank McCoy I look after the house now" hank explained

"You're beast? Look at you, well I guess you're a late bloomer" the male said and my eyes widened and the kids looked st me but I put my finger to my lips and bent down in of them and looked at them both

"Now I want you to go get daddy for me please. Say it's urgent and that it may be dangerous. Go up the stairs quietly please" I whispered and they nodded at me and began to make their way up the stairs

"I don't know what you are talking about, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave" hank said panicked and tried to shit the door as I ran behind the stairs and then man held the door as hank tried to close it quickly

"Where's the professor and Lydia?" The male asked and I got really scared. How does he know my name?

"There's no professor or anyone called Lydia here" hank said and pushed the door more

"Your strong for a scrawny kid, come on. You sure there's not s little beast in there?" The male questioned and closed my eyes and breathed deeply

"He's not here" hank panicky said and I looked at him

"Come on beastly" the male said and then opened the door and I hid behind the stairs

"Hey I said the schools closed you need to leave" hank said serous

"Not till I've seen either the professor or Lydia" he sis and walked forward

"There's no professor or Lydia here I told you that" hank said and the male turned to him

"Look kid, you and I are going to be good friends" he said and then punched him. They can't be good friends if they punch one another I stood up and still stayed hidden while hank fell to the floor

"You just don't know it yet" he said and began to walk up the stairs

"Professor" he called out while jogging up the stairs and I trailed behind him as I saw hank starting to turn into the beast and growling and I sighed and ran to where the man was heading and I saw him begin to walk down the corridor and I saw Amelia and tommy at the other end coming out of Charles' office and he didn't see them so I signalled them to hide and I made a vine and pulled him down and he saw me

"Lydia" he said in recognition but I ignored him and heard hank so I moved out the way and hank grabbed him and I followed him as he thrower him onto the other staircase and then hank threw the mysterious man onto the table and then I walked forward

"Who are you?" I asked him as hank roared off the chandelier when he didn't answer me

"Hank? Lydia? What's going on here? The kids said something was going on" Charles asked as he descended down the stairs. One of the kids either side of him

"Professor?" The mysterious man asked

"Please don't call me that" Charles said and me and hank look confused

"So wait you actually know this guy?" I asked while pointing at him and Charles stood at the top of the staircase and the kids ran down to me and hugged my legs while I put either hand on their heads and smiled lightly and I smiled at Charles and I got a small smile back which was an improvement

"He looks slightly familiar" Charles said and I shook my head at him

"Get off the bloody chandelier hank" Charles continued and hank just rolled his eyes and jumped onto the floor where tommy and Olivia ran over to him and he picked them up and placed Amelia on his shoulders and he he,d tommy in his arms and I just smiled at him and how good he was with the kids

"Language Charles in front of the kids please" I said and he nodded and apologised while I just looked down and the male looked at me and then at Charles

"You can walk" the man said and I looked at him

"Your a perceptive one" Charles said sarcastically and I looked at him and shook my head and sighed and went to walk upstairs until Charles grabbed my hand and made me sit next to him and he put his arm around me and I just rolled my eyes and leaned my head on his shoulder but he did not smell the best whereas as Charles always said, I smell of vanilla and gingerbread for some reason even though I hardly bake them anymore

"I thought there-" the man started but Charles cut him off

"A slightly perfection but you managed to miss our sign on the way in, this is private property my friend I'm going have to ask him to ask you to leave" Charles carried on and then the male looked at my leg and saw to 2-3 inch scar from where I had been shot on the Cuba beach but the bullet which cut even more of my leg when Erik tried to get it out 2ich  makes Charles hate him even more now but I don't say anything about it

"I'm afraid I can't do that because I was sent here for you and Lydia" he said and I looked at him

"For us?" I questioned him and he nodded and I looked at Charles

"Well tell whoever it was that sent you that I'm... busy" he lied and I looked at hank and he rolled his eyes and looked at the man, who's name we still didn't know waiting for him to continue
