Alive and Well [Closed]
CHARACTERS: Alex (Havok) and Raven
LOCATION: The Pool
WARNINGS: ...probably not? Maybe some mild warning for talk/thoughts of gore/trauma
SUMMARY: Raven wants Alex to go swimming with her. He reluctantly agrees.
Alex had only said yes to this because he couldn't figure out any way to get out of it without hurting Raven's feelings. It wasn't that he didn't want to spend time with her, but going to the pool, where wearing pants would look more than a bit ridiculous, wasn't what he normally wanted to do with his spare time.
Though he had to give it to himself--before going to Promenade, he would have told Raven off, and refused to go, upsetting her in the process.
So instead, he had locked up Bozo in his room, and headed down to the coordinates that the young mutant had provided. The dressing room area seemed to have an abundance of swim trunks...lucky him.
Letting out a break, Alex slowly stripped, getting into the swimsuit quickly. There would be no way to hide the long scar on his back, and the red, angry, twisted scars that climbed his lower legs--obvious claw marks (but from no animal). It wasn't that Alex was ashamed of them, that he kept them hid--it was more the questions that came with them that caused him consternation.
They were memories that had bubbled up during the manticore attacks, but he had fought them back, then. Didn't mean they were gone, completely.
But Alex tried to push them into the back of his head as he moved into the pool area, a towel draped over one of his arms as he went sit down on the edge of the pool, letting his feet dangle in the cool water, waiting.
