Xavier and Bethany saw some vans. The gunshots were coming from behind them. Bethany took off her gloves. She thought that fighting must be an instinct of hers for her to do that without thinking.
Xavier said, "Look! It's Nox and H3llboy with some other kid."
They saw the people that were shooting at them heavily armored.
"These can't be ordinary cops," Xavier said. He felt his powers starting to kick in by themselves. He got nervous. He didn't know what was about to happen.
Just as a guard was about to shoot Nox, Bethany ran up to him and touched him. He dropped dead, literally. Another cop was screaming that his wife was dying. She remembered that Xavier said that his powers dealt with fear. She looked at him and saw that his eyes were solid black. His facial expression was different, also.
He looked more devilish. Evil. Like he was enjoying making the cops feel like that. A cop shot at Bethany but missed. This was the same life that her sister, Clara, must have went through. Xavier saw the cop shoot at his girlfriend. He walked over him, and the cop started choking.
"You don't like the feeling of drowning, do you," he said to the cop.
He had a wicked smile on his face.
