insert a creative title
Shortly after Shaw exits the screen, the view zoomed in on the coin as it spun, eventually flipping over to reveal an X with the words "First Class" embedded on the bottom.
The coin then began to flow smoothly through the gap of someone's hand, Erik's, given away by the previous events, the power, and the numbers on his arm.
Absent-mindedly Erik reached and held onto his left arm, pulling the sleeve down.
The scene shifted to show Erik sitting in a hotel bed in a row and he felt his face heat up. He wasn't embarrassed but he didn't want people seeing him more or less ass naked. Erik on screen was staring ahead of him at a wall that had images of people connected with string, a drawing of Shaw from his time in the camps at the top. He sends the coin towards the wall, the coin embedding itself in the forehead of Shaw's drawing.
Shaw felt some sort of sick glee seeing how Erik was coming for him. He was so proud of his little creation. He couldn't wait until they could properly fight when they were released from this room— how he'd relish in it.
The scene flows smoothly to Oxford University, slowly moving away from a pair of eyes; one blue and the other green. Charles stood beside the girl, mumbling ‘heterochromia’ under his breath. He then orders them both a drink before he starts telling her about her mutation. The two of them have a short conversation before Raven approaches them, to which Charles introduces her after another flirtatious remark to the blonde woman beside him.
Watching the interaction sparked something inside Erik. Never in his life did he think he’d be jealous of a woman he never met, yet here he was, glaring a hole into the woman’s head. Beside him Raven silently glowered. She didn’t know exactly when her insecurity began, only that it had started as something small when she was a child and only grew even more throughout the years.
The two girls introduce themselves to each other, Raven subtly letting one of her eyes turn gold. The woman, Amy, points it out. Charles sighs before paying for the drinks and telling Raven to grab her coat. The two of them are having a slight argument while they walk away.
In person Raven turned a pale shade of red at how petty the argument seemed, especially since it was produced because she was jealous. Charles simply pinched the bridge of his nose and stared at the screen with a blank stare. The ordeal made Angel giggle more than she’d like to admit, Darwin trying not to laugh as a response to her. Hank was glancing between the Raven on screen and beside him.
The Hellfire Club was irritated. They didn’t want to watch petty sibling fights.
Then, Raven is in the bathroom brushing her teeth. “Mutant and proud?” She says, slight malice in her voice as she says it again, glancing at Charles before looking in the mirror and going, “If only.” She asks if he’d date her, and he responds with an ‘absolutely’, calling her stunning. She asks, “Looking like this?” Which causes him to glance up at her. “H– Blue?”
He tells her that he’s incapable of thinking of her in such a way and that she’s his oldest friend. “I’m your only friend,” She responds, before asking him to answer. The two continue the short conversation before she says she’s tired and asks him to read his thesis to her when he says he has to study.
There’s a brief voice over from him as the scene switches over to show Erik, clad in a coat and hat with a suitcase, walking.
Before it changes entirely, Charles sends a quick wave of love and a short “you’re beautiful Raven, blue or not” to Raven, getting a rather cold “get out of my head” in return. Charles sighed tiredly and focused fully back on the screen.
