Chaos Theory

Chapter 7 (Mini chap)

You were in a trance the whole ride back to the mansion. Your ears were ringing and your powers were completely out of control to the point you had allowed Hank to inject you with the serum just for the safety of everyone else.

"It's okay kid," Logan whispered as Hank pulled the car into the long drive way of the school. He watched your chin quivering as you clenched your fists digging your nails into your palms.

"He's gone..." you whispered tears pouring down your face. As soon as the car stopped you bolted out thirsty for the fresh air.

Logan followed you reaching for hand, his fingers laced with yours and you were too upset to fight it. He led you into the house, his thumb stroking the palm of your hand softly. As soon as all of you made it through the door Charles yelled in pain, falling against the door frame.

"What happened?" Logan yelled going to help Hank try and lean Charles up.

"He needs his treatment," Hank replied pushing last you both to run upstairs to get the injections. Charles sat in the floor gripping his hair.

"I can hear them...all of them...so much pain..." he cried. Chloe leaned down reaching for his hand. Your powers were finally at an ease, the medication wearing off.

"Charles look at me," You whispered trying to keep your voice steady. You put his hand on your chest, "Concentrate on your breathing and you can control it."

"I've got it!" Hank yelled practically stumbling down the stairs.

"No!" You yelled raising a hand your red energy flowing in Hanks direction. "We're not doing this anymore, we're facing it...together."

"Chloe...you don't understand...I can't.." Charles cried, distress all over his face.

"Pull yourself together, it's not over yet." Logan stood behind you blocking Hank from coming any closer.

""You dont believe that," replied through gritted teeth.

You watch the look of shock falling over Logan's face, like he'd just heard a ghost speak.

"How do you know?" Logan asked.

As these go," he said, pointing at his legs with shaky hands. "This comes back," he placed his hand over his temple.

"We're all in pain, Charles. I've sat here for years watching you push it all away while we all have dealt with it head on. The pain of losing Raven..and Erik. Even Moira, and I'm done. We can't win this war without you...the real you," you brushed a piece of hair behind his ear.

"Chloe stop," Hank came around you two kneeling in front of Charles, "I gave you an extra dose because you missed it earlier."

"No!" You yelled reaching for the needle as you threw it behind you, "we can't find Raven without Charles powers, why are you letting him do this?"

"Jesus Christ Chloe!" Hank went to grab the needle.

"No, I just lost the most important person to me and it's not going to be for nothing!" You yelled at Hank before turning back to Charles, "when I was at my worst, when I couldn't control this you were the one who helped me. You and Erik." You cried grabbing Charles hands.

"That was different..." he groaned closing his eyes as you fused your powers with his.

"Why? You two set me free. And then you pushed us together and I trusted you. You knew that I could get through to Erik and get past all that pain and trauma, in a way you couldn't. So I'm asking you to trust me now...we need you," you pleaded.

Charles looked between the three of you for a moment before sighing, "Hank? Do me a favor..help me to my study?"

Chloe smiled vicariously leaning forward as she kissed his cheek.

"That was amazing," Logan whispered as Hank helped Charles towards the study to retrieve his wheelchair.

"Well I can't find Erik without Cerebro either," you admitted running your hands through your hair.

"I figured," he smiled, "Charles does need to face all of this. Hank isn't doing him a favor by suppressing his powers.

"Can I ask you something?"

He raised an eyebrow nodding.

"You said Erik and Charles told you to find me to get Raven, so why wasn't I with you guys?" Chloe's voice was low as you shifted on her foot nervously awaiting the answer.

"You...died.." he responded flatly.

You closed your eyes nodding, "Don't tell me how...it doesn't matter.."

"Chloe your future can change, once we stop we Raven," Logan pulled you onto him, hugging you tightly. You leaned into him, not so sure that was possible
