He wasn’t as out of it as Alex may have been, and it would have been Erik’s own instincts that saved him, but such as it was, the fact that Alex had restrained himself in such an immediate situation would be something Erik would look forward to. Fingers gripping around Alex's wrist, he focuses on steadying the mutant, keeping his attention on Erik.

"I'm getting you out," he answers swiftly, frustration evident in his tone and the way he moved, tugging Alex along with him instead of waiting to see if the younger mutant was okay. They could deal with words and safety later, but right now Alex warranted getting away from the internment systems in place.

"....you came back?" Alex's eyes widened at that Erik's comment, as if he was surprised that it happened, as the pieces finally fell into place. He couldn't deny the surprise--while he was a mutant, Erik had been more than willing to leave an injured Charles on the beach, that day. Why wouldn't he leave a stupid young mutant in a place that probably freaked him the fuck out?

Shaking his head, he nodded. "Fine fine--we just need to get going. They weren't far behind me." He pulled his hand away, and started running.
