Covert CIA Research Base

Third POV

As a new day begins the seven remaining mutants sit outside the destroyed base Vin still holding a dead Zach as Raven and Nik sit beside him Hank is looking at Vin making sure he does not explode in rage. Erik and Angel was comforting Jack as he just saw is father getting killed in front of his eyes. Sean and Quinton sit next to each other and Darwin just staring at Vin and Zach still not believing he is still alive.

Charles and Phineas run to them looking around at the destruction.

"Raven! Erik!" Charles shouts as Raven stands up and runs to him and jumping into his arms before they kiss. They broke apart and Erik hugged Charles.

"We made arrangements to take you home immediately."

"We're not going home." Sean tells him.

"What!"

"He's not going back to jail." Sean said looking at Quinton.

"They killed Zack." Vin said angrily as he stands up and marching over to Charles.

"My father was killed. I have nowhere to go now." Jack said as he has ties in his eyes and Erik came back to him and hugged him as Jack nuzzled his head into Erik's neck.

"All the more reason for you to leave. This is over." Charles said making Vin look angrier than before.

"No, they killed my best friend, they took him from me, they killed Oliver who I might add is Jack's father. I will not just give up and forget about it. Either we finish what we started or I will hunt them down myself." Vin threatened wiping out his claws and teeth growling.

"Little doggy said we finish this together." Felix said making Vin growl at him. As Charles pulls him in away from them as Raven grabs Vin's hand calming him down and as he move back to Zach.

"They're just kids." Charles harshly tells Phineas.

"No. They were kids. Shaw has his army. We need ours."

"We'll have to train. All of us. Yes?" Charles said to everyone as he turns to face them.

"Yeah."

"We can't stay here. Even if they re-opened the department, it's not safe. We've got no where to go."

"Yes we do."

"Before we go I need to bury Zach somewhere very beautiful." Vincent said getting up and picking up Zach up in his arms.

"I know a place. It is a very beautiful place." Charles said gesturing them to follow him as they all get in two cars.

Secure Facility

As Stryker and McCone stands in a small room watching Emma who is locked in a interrogation room watching and hearing they conversation.

"There's war coming, John."

"Yes. But a war with who?"

"Excellent question. Thought I wouldn't call it a war exactly. That suggests both sides stand an equal chance of winning." Emma said to them as she cuts a circle out of the two way window.

Charles's Mansion

"This is yours?" Sean asks in disbelief as we all stare at Charles huge beautiful mansion.

"No. It's ours." Charles said wrapping his arm around Erik.

"Honestly Charles, I don't know how you survived. Living in such hardship." Phineas sarcastically stares to him.

"Well, it was a hardship softened by us. Come on we will give a tour." Erik said as everyone but Vincent and Jack who walks off to the forest surrounding Charles house Nik and Angel goes to follow but Hank grabs their arms.

"We need to let Vin and Jack do this alone. They'll be fine trust me." He tells them making them look at Vin and Jack and sighs before heading inside as Hank looks at Vincent and Jackson who retreats into the trees.

Forest

Vincent's POV

I walk slowly into the trees looking for a perfect spot to bury Zach as many of the forest animals following after me with melancholy in the air surroundings all of us. We follow a deer who told me about a beautiful spot just for Zach.

We all walk to a spot as we walk we see a beautiful tree up ahead. Chicago the deer comes to a stop nodding his head towards the trees and we walk towards it as a many red foxes and head bumping my legs as they walked past me.

We walk up to the grave before grabbing the blanket Sean gave me before putting it in the grave and placing Zach in there slowly and gentle as tears roll down our faces

We walk up to the grave before grabbing the blanket Sean gave me before putting it in the grave and placing Zach in there slowly and gentle as tears roll down our faces. Chicago the deer trots towards me looking at me bumping up head.

"You guys should say something." He tells me.

"Zach you are..you were..my two best friend..I still remember meeting you...it was Hank's and my first time at the zoo...we were..seven. That day was the first time...I found..out..about my powers." I say crying with tears flooding my face and neck.

"We had amazing conversation...You made me laugh..whatever I always sad. You were the greatest friend a girl could have. I will always miss you, buddy. I love you, Zach. I hope you are running free in your favorite paradise, may we meet again, buddy." Jack say to him while filling the grave before I craved his name on the willow tree.

"Thank you for showing me this place." I say to Chicago and the other animals they nod to me before bumping their heads on my head and walking away.

After a few hours, the sun starting to set I slowly rise up from the ground before looking down at Zach's grave staying 'Goodbye buddy' and walking back to the house.

Living Room in Xavier Mansion

I cough making Charles and Raven jump as they cuddle on the couch.

"So.. um..which..room is mine." I ask them.

"Oh, um just pick any room on third floor and up, okay?" Charles said.

"And when this is all over, you and others are welcome to stay and decorate your room however you like." Raven said as she and Charles get up and walking over to me with eyes filled with sympathy and pity but I quickly leave the room running up the stairs.

As I walk up the stairs looking for a room I look around Charles taking it all in. I walk past the room on the third floor smelling that all of them have been taken but I notice one room not so I walk in the room but instead I met a circular running stairs going up.

I walk up the stairs looking at the old decorative spiral staircase admiring the design as I reach the top and walking around two meters opening the wooden door and seeing a beautiful empty room with a few bits of furniture a bed, cupboard and two small side tables as well as a desk.

As I look around the room looking at everything, see a glass door with wooden framing and I walking over it and opening it seeing a small sitting area with a rusty old table what really gets my attention is the amazing view of Charles yard.

I turn around closing the door and shutting the dusty curtain before failing into the bed and closing my eyes as I fall asleep.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better I thought to myself as I fall into a deep sleep.
