Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot
Alex idily drummed his fingers on the kitchen counter. It was one of those rare moments of peace. There was no training, no bad news, no incidents.
Just nothing.The professor and Erik were in the library playing their nightly round of chess while everyone else was in the kitchen. Even Hank had come out of his lab to join them.
To sum it all up, it was a very boring night.
Alex groaned in boredom, there was nothing to do. He folded his arms and rested his head on the counter. Letting out another groan, he closed his eyes and tried to force himself to fall asleep. Sleep...Sleep...Sleeeep...
"And that would be?" He asked hoping his friend had something that could cure his boredom. Hank, Raven and Moira stopped whatever they were doing and stared at Sean with expectant looks.
"We're going to die."
There was a pregnant pause before Raven threw the book she was reading at Sean, "Are you high?"
"Hey! That hurt!" Sean grunted, rubbing the spot where the had book hit him. He sighed before shaking his head. "No, I'm not high."
Raven gave him an incredulous look before rolling her eyes, "Okay then, enlighten us please."
"Alright, so you know how we're training to defeat Shaw and all that stuff?" Everyone nodded. "Well, there's a good chance we're going to die right?"
"Well, that is a logical assumption. The chances of death are quite high given the severity of the mission." Hank said.
"Will you please tell us the point of all this?" Moira cut in before Hank could go into a monologue.
"So I was thinking, since we're going to die, this is could be our last chance to celebrate the major holidays and our birthdays." Alex opened his mouth to say something but closed it when he realized Sean was right. There was their last chance.
"What do you plan on doing about it?" Raven asked.
"We should celebrate everything we need to before we die. Like we could start tomorrow with New Year's Day and go from there."
"You what Sean? I think that may be the smartest thing that has come out of your mouth yet." Alex said, giving Sean a pat on the back.
Sean huffed and glared at the blond who shrugged nonchalantly. He muttered something under his breath before facing the others.
"So? Everyone got the plan?"
There was a series of nods and Sean practically jumped for joy. A single thought ran through all their heads, 'This was going to be so awesome.'
