New Divide

New Divide: 64

“Wake up, lovebirds, we're here.” The unmistakeable sarcastic tone of Erik could not be confused with anyone else.

If anyone was going to wake the sleeping pair up, they'd have much rather it to have been Logan or Hank. Regardless they both sat up from the sofa with their eyes half open. They were more asleep than awake, but even still they looked to him sharply.

Erik still stood close by smirking smugly with his arms crossed. Looking to the side when Logan appeared he seemed to back off then. “Come on, we don't have all day.” Logan shortly said while Charles stood from the sofa and turned around held a hand out to Margo. She wasted little time slipping her hand into his and getting pulled to a stand. Still holding onto her hand firmly, Charles walked behind Logan and led her off of the plane.

Paris was sunny, sunny and warm. Blue skies and white clouds looked down at them. And if it they weren't here to interrupt a very important meeting, and stop Raven from possibly bringing down everyone's downfall, Margo was sure everyone could appreciate their surroundings. Paris was after all, a beautiful city.

All walking to an awaiting car they climbed in silently. There wasn't really an atmosphere for joking around, not today at least. Each person knew and understood the seriousness of what could and could not happen.

It was disappointing to some extent that the drive to the hotel where this meeting was taking place, took a shorter amount of time than first thought.

Margo childishly – and it was rather childish of her – let out a short quiet snigger when two guards moved over to stop them from entering into the underground parking space. It wasn't this which was humorous to her, it was the fact that a metal gate got quickly pushed against them and pinned them to the wall.

The barriers which were still down and stopping them from entering got promptly lifted thanks to Erik, and with that the car slowly drove into the building. Exiting the vehicle as silently as they entered it the group quickly walked up a set of stairs which led into the hotel.

The hotel itself was smart, quiet, clearly a hotel which one would have to almost bankrupt themselves to stay in if they did not have a lot of money to begin with. For these reasons it seemed like quite an obvious choice for a meeting. The unconscious doormen and guards below could have held up some resistance to those who were not meant to be here, but they weren't of much use now.

It was noted how when walking through the corridors that it was deathly silent. It was like there were no other guests staying at the hotel at this time. It'd make sense considering some of the higher up important people who were currently present within a room near the top floor.

The room itself, once they entered it, was disorganised. Clearly a fight had broken out and unfortunately for the men scattered about, they had not faired well. Naturally when fighting against someone as skilled as Raven, they had little chance with or without their weapons.

One of their guns right now was being tightly gripped in the blue woman's hands. She had it aimed at a smaller man huddled in a corner. This was Bolivar Trask, apparently. There weren't much time for introductions seeing as how one man present saw fit to taser her. He in return got roughly pushed aside by Margo by a stronger force than what she should have used, and topped off with Erik turning the taser on him. The man shuddered and convulsed and thinking he'd had had enough torture with being kept ramrod straight, Margo let him ungracefully fall to the floor. Even on the floor he still twitched painfully from the taser which was still attached to him.

Stepping forwards beside Charles she leant down to look at her shaking friend. “Margo, too?” She struggled to say.

“You honestly think I’d miss out on a chance to see you use idiotic men as prime punching bags?” Margo beamed, there was a struggled sound from Raven which could have been a laugh, she wasn't too sure. Charles sent a frown up at her not exactly liking the choice in words she had used. A simple 'hello' could have sufficed. Yet he wasn't surprised. Raven and Margo always had their own little sense of humour, which he would never understand no matter how hard he could have tried.
