WHO: Hank McCoy and Raven Xavier
WHAT: Hank has something he needs to ask Raven
WHEN: Monday, November 5th, Evening.
WHERE: The X Mansion; Raven's room
RATING: PG probably
STATUS: In Progress

It had been a few weeks now since Hank and Raven had taken Abu out to the park, where Hank had climbed up into a tree to retrieve the monkey when he'd gotten away from him and if he was honest, he'd actually enjoyed himself and of course the kiss Raven had given him as he'd hung upside down from a branch after retrieving Abu had made it even more enjoyable. Of course when the outing had ended, they weren't any closer to figuring out what was going on between them even though it was fairly obvious how they felt about the other. Since then Hank had planned to try and speak to Raven again, but Asaph had decided that instead they were all going to forget their time in Colligo. During the two weeks where everyone thought they had only just been brought to the planet, Asaph had also decided that it was time for Hank to receive memories of the events that had happened after he'd injected himself with his serum. Not only did these events include the fight with Shaw, but Raven leaving with Erik. Along with that memory came the way Hank had felt as he'd watched Raven leave, which was a feeling Hank never wanted to feel again. As a result, once their memories of their time in Colligo had been returned to them, Hank had made the decision that he didn't want to have any more regrets when it came to Raven and had spent the last two weeks or so, trying to come up with the perfect things to say to her. However, in the process of trying to figure out the perfect thing to say, Hank had come to realize that he was only wasting time and it didn't matter so much what he said, but that he finally said it. He knew that he trusted Raven more than anyone else and that she returned her feelings, so the only thing stopping them from being together was him; or at least he hoped that, that was the only thing. He didn't know what he'd do if he'd been completely wrong this entire time.

Knowing that he needed to talk to her now, before something else happened to cause him to have to wait, Hank headed for Raven's room, which was the first place he always looked for her. Taking a deep breath, he straightened his glasses then knocked on the door. It was now or never. Hank didn't know what he'd do if he woke up one morning to find Raven had been sent home without him having told her exactly how he felt. While it would still hurt if it happened afterwards, he would certainly regret it if he didn't say something now. "Raven, are you in there?" If she wasn't then there were still a few other places where she was likely to be, but he hoped that she was in her room, because it was much more private than most other rooms in the mansion.

Raven wasn't in her room. She, in fact, had been in the Danger Room, with Steph, for the past few hours. However, fortunately for Hank, she was on her way back to her room and turned the corner just in time to see him approach her door. Pausing for a moment, one hand rubbing at her shoulder in an attempt to get rid of the lingering ache from one of Steph's well-placed kicks, Raven couldn't help but smile slightly. Hank really was amazing, even if he didn't see it and, although they didn't spend as much time together as she'd like, she was always grateful whenever he did come out of his lab long enough to see her. Not that she minded going into his lab to see him, but the gesture on his part was definitely one she appreciated.

"If I answer the door, stab me in the face," she finally commented when he called out if she was in there. Stepping away from the wall, her grin grew a bit as she approached him. "That, or tell Charles to stop messing with your head. I guess that's a possibility too." Except not really. But it was a hilarious idea, to her, to consider.

"What's up?" she tacked on curiously as she finally reached Hank, and her door. Leaning against the wall with her good shoulder, her fingers still idly kneading the muscles on the other shoulder, she tilted her head a bit to the side and peered up at him with a curious gleam in her yellow hued eyes. "You look like you have something you want to say."

Which wasn't at all foreboding. Nope. Not even a little.

Hank turned at the sound of Raven's voice and a small smile spread across his lips at the sight of her. It wasn't that he didn't think her natural, blue form wasn't beautiful, because she was beautiful whether she was blue or blond and he still felt awful for what he had said to her back home just before he'd arrived in Colligo. The thing was, all he'd wanted was for his friends to be accepted by those who weren't like them, but since arriving in Colligo, Hank had slowly begun to realize that if there was anywhere where they would be accepted without question, it was Colligo. Not only were Mutants accepted, but so were relationships like Charles & Erik's. So, while Hank still wasn't 100% comfortable with his own mutation, he at least wasn't quite so worried about being accepted as he had been when he'd first arrived. He definitly owed a lot to Raven, Dr. Banner, Kitty and Molly for helping him to get to the point that he was at today and he knew that in time, it was possible that he would be just as comfortable as the rest of them.

"I'll be sure to keep that in mind if I ever run into your evil twin." The smile faded as she asked him why he was there. "Well, yes. It's nothing bad. I promise." He adjusted his glasses again as his gaze slid to the shoulder that Raven was favoring, "Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?" He had no way of knowing that she'd simply been in The Danger Room and considering he'd left his PDA in his lab and he'd just come from his own room, it was possible that he'd missed something going on outside, which was Asaph induced.
