Action Log - closed to Erik

Raven smiled as she glanced around the apartment. It was not very big or very fancy, at least in terms of places that she had resided in the past. And still, it wasn't too terrible. She had a feeling that she could at least try to make it feel a little homey. She wished she had pictures she could put up of Charles. It was like she was starting from scratch all over again.

Not that she had not done that before.

At least here, in this moment, she wasn't alone either. A rather modest two bedroom flat would give them each enough space to live and find solace when they needed it. She'd been able to earn enough money teaching workshops to be able to afford the flat and buy some small things. Furniture, pillows and sheets, just the simple things. Sharing with Erik was mutually beneficial financially.

And maybe, just maybe, she wanted to see if they could reconnect.

With a sigh, she moved over to a window and stared outside. She missed Charles. And Hank. All of the team, honestly. While there were some nice people here, it wasn't the same as being at home. She'd been fairly reclusive since being pulled here. And part of her wished she could just hide until she could go home.

It was the most conflicted she had felt in a long, long time.

He was right. She knew that he was. Glancing up at Erik, she nodded her head. "So, we do everything we can while they don't. We save up our coin. We take notes. We learn everything we can about this world for now. We prepare. You taught me that," she murmured softly. "We may not feel safe, but we are not alone, at least."

Raven moved over to Erik, offering him one of the cups of tea.

"If nothing else, I've got your back. I know it probably doesn't mean much, but I'd fight for you. With you. That's why I wanted you here." She lifted her other arm, motioning to the apartment around them. "We do what we need to. We appear to settle and we learn as much as we can. And we make sure we watch out for each other. Charles may not be here, but we're still teammates."

He takes the tea and goes back to looking out the window. "We have each other to depend on." Which is a good feeling, after the life he's had. Knowing there's one person he can count on. He's not alone in this place, and he doesn't have to be.

"I want to be safe somewhere. Maybe here. I think we've got a better chance of that here than we do at home. " No one here has cared what he can do, or that he's different. So many of them are different in ways of their own, after all. "Until we are, we have to be on our guard."

Which is a tiring way to life live.
