if my life is mine, what shouldn't i do? // alexandra summers

[electrumqueen]

the first time alex gets arrested, she's thirteen and sold the fuck out. her partner is supposed to keep watch, call her if the cops come, but he bails and it's thirteen year old alex in the back room with the cash register open; there's not even a question. the cop's nice though: alex is still young enough to be cute, looks like she's just made one bad decision, reminds her of his daughter. she stays in overnight and he returns the cash. (she tells scott she stayed out late with mike, crashed at his. he's a good kid; he blinks, wide-eyed, at her and says, sure, allie, ignores the dirt on her face and the faint cuffmarks on her wrist.)

she's more careful, after that. she picks her partners. (picks jobs where she can work alone.)
she's eighteen the next time. it's not a slip up. it's not even a score.

(it's scott, who is gone. it's scott who she was supposed to find, supposed to protect. scott who she lost.)

the cops aren't nice anymore. alex has grown up and filled out and they say, what's a nice girl like you doing here? with this

her initial plan is to split. scott doesn't need her; she doesn't need these people. she can disappear into any major city; she's a pretty blonde who can blow up buildings, there'll be no shortage of work for her. sure, erik lehnsherr's a little terrifying, but alex has known her share of terrifying, stared her share of terrifying right in the eye and spit.

they get to the facility and she's scoping around for likely exits before she even gets out of the car, subtle as she can.

charles says, "alex, i'd really like you to give us a chance." his accent is so english she wonders how he is alive.

erik says, "he reads minds. sorry about that." he doesn't look sorry at all. he's wearing sunglasses but the edge of his mouth is pulled up in a smirk.

alex says, "well, that was creepy." she tries to think, might as well do what he says, in as apologetic a tone as she can manage, but she's alex summers, she keeps casing the giant concrete block for any sign of weakness. she slips out of the car, hands in her pockets

DAFSDJFA;SDFKA;SDFA THIS IS BEAAAAAAAAAAUTIFUL. I am all kinds of in love with Alexandra Summers. AND SCOTT. I LOVE HOW PRESENT SHE IS THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE THING. And gaaaah, the beginning; about her being 13 and still cute, but when she's 18, it's no longer cute and then the first time when Alex uses her powers *___________________* EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT SECTION IS PERFECT (also, love the description of Erik as an attack dog). And the ending--brilliant and incandescent, does not let go of Darwin's gaze. Omg beautiful. Have my babies.
