Meeting a new family

Two people were in a car in silence while the only woman was driving.

Alex never thought that things could go in that direction, his plan although weak, still had a good chance of working, spending a few years in the orphanage until his body is strong enough to be independent, and with some effort it would only take some years.

Escaping seemed like the best idea, but unlike last time, this time it would be known that Alex was lost.

'For the time being I will wait' so Alex remained silent the rest of the way, and since Raven had no interest in starting any conversation, neither said anything.

Along the way Alex saw Raven's direction, but knowing his true identity, he was not fooled by her sweet appearance, although he had a devil body.

But the silence remained until they reached a house on the outskirts of the city.

"Welcome to your new house, I'm sure you will like it, I also want to introduce you to someone else" Raven went forward to enter the house, from where she left with a girl about Alex's age.

"She is Marie, and since you are now part of the family, so now she is your sister, I hope they can get along well" Raven said with a smile, while pushing Marie slightly to bring her closer to Alex.

Marie was a cute little girl with brown hair, but the most interesting thing was the small strands of white that fell down her face, but a peculiarity were the gloves she wore, as well as the fear of approaching Alex.

"Hello Marie, nice, you can call me Alex Hall" Alex was courteous, and he introduced himself with his full name, and although he was able to change his last name to have a new identity, that was a small tribute that Alex made to his parents It was the least he could do, but that was as far as the introductions went, anyway, Marie didn't seem like anyone wanted to speak.

And as Alex guessed, after a small bow, Marie escaped.

Raven didn't say much, just addressed Alex, "She's a special girl, just be a little patient" she had a warm smile when she talked about Marie.

"But I know you're a special kid too, and I know you went through terrible things, but don't worry, I'm here for you." Raven reached out to hug Alex, but he dodged backing away.

"I really don't know what your intentions are with me, but since you adopted me, you must know what I'm capable of" with a snap of Alex's fingers, Raven felt her body grow heavier to the point that her entire body was stuck down.

"you...." Raven had many things to say, but she was already struggling to breathe.

"I'll be direct, and I'll say it at once, and if I hear something I don't like, then little Marie will be left without a mother again" Alex was completely direct, anyway one more person on his list was not important to Alex .

Raven had to admit that this child was somewhat scary, since Alex's voice had not the slightest bit of doubt or mercy, but it was still a long way from completely scaring Raven.

"Question ... boy" Raven felt the pressure drop a bit in order to speak, but her body was still unable to move.

"So let's get started, first question, do you know a certain Magneto?"

Raven was about to deny it when she felt her entire body was crushed almost to the limit.

Raven's hands changed color from the blood she had just vomited from her mouth,

"Perhaps I am many things, but not a liar, and if by your mouth I had heard that you do not know Magneto, then I would have assassinated you without hesitation, rarely in life do you have second chances, I would recommend that you take advantage of it"

It was official, now Raven was afraid of that boy, but keeping her mask was her great skill, so she kept calm.

Raven took a few breaths when she felt a little better to speak, "I ... know."

That was easy, now came the complicated, since the first question was a trap, since Alex knew the answer, now it depended on how well he had handled things in order to obtain the truth.

"Simple enough, now we go to the second question, and from what I see, this could be the last of your life, so make an effort"

Raven was having a hard time breathing, and the taste of blood didn't help, but she vowed that as long as it wasn't life or death, she would rather tell the truth.

"The second question is pretty simple, you can say yes or no, and if I broke too many ribs you can only use your head to answer." Alex needed to know that answer, and Raven's premature death could delay him, so it was better to provide.

Somehow things got a little better for Raven, but not enough.

"I'll just ask, does Magneto know you adopted me?" "If Magneto knows this, and they are just playing good people, then it is time to escape immediately.

Raven did not struggle with his answer, and with some effort shook her head.

With that answer, it was time to think about the next move.

"Were you planning to tell him of my whereabouts?"

Like the other time, Raven denied that question.

That was the most important thing, but now the information was also needed, of how Alex was found, since if he was found once, then escape was impossible, and he would have to take other measures.

But seeing Raven's condition, it was difficult for her to manage to complete a sentence, these moments Alex hated her lack of ability, since she almost killed Raven without even starting the interrogation, but the results were somehow good.

"Do you need to go to the hospital?" Having clarified the main points, the initial hostility subsided, and a more civilized solution could now be reached.

"Easy kid, I'll take care" a voice of feminine origin sounded from Alex's back.

Alex looked in that direction, where he saw a white woman with short brown hair, taking slow steps with the help of a cane, but her biggest peculiarity was the dark glasses she wore.

"You can call me Irene Adler, and if you ask, I was the one who found you, and I'm glad to answer all your questions, but first let me help Raven, you can wait inside, I made chocolate chip cookies, I'm sure they are your favorites "Irene said in a neutral voice, as she approached Raven.

Right now Alex hated not knowing more about this universe, since the name of Irene Adler sounded familiar.

But now there was a big dilemma, as she knew that chocolate chip cookies were Alex's favorite, was she having a telepathic ability class ?, or maybe it was just a coincidence, as many people liked chocolate chip cookies.

During Alex's thoughts, a black car arrived, from where two men left to take Raven, leaving only Alex and Irene.

"I have to finish some small matters, you can enter, remember that it is your house" Irene said no more when another black car arrived where she got on.

Now Alex was the only one outside, and after some deliberation, Alex came in to eat, but not without lowering his guard, he could destroy everything to escape again anyway.
