We return home. Lizzie is still away because I know the job isn't finished, so it's just the four of us that entered the mansion. Charles drops to the ground in pain.

"What happened?" Logan questions and Hank and I  kneel to help him up "Can he walk?"

"He needs his treatment." Hank states as we help Charles to stand

"Pippa, I can hear them." He whimpers as he sit him down and a nearby chair.

"I know, I know."

"Make it stop." The two of us run off to get what was needed, why would it need the two of  us. Well pressure of it all one of us usually forgets something on our own. I grabbed the needle and tourniquet. Hank grabbed the drug and the took the needle off me. We headed back downstairs

I added a little extra for the missed dose." Hank stated handing it over. Charles took the tourniquet and needle holding it up ward. The looked at Logan for a moment before going to inject himself yet he stopped  and dropped it to the side.

"Hank, Pippa. Do me a favour, would you help me to my study please." he started at us and i broke out into a broad smile. We helped him up and into the study. I opened the cupboard where I had stored his wheelchair

"Are you sure about this?" Hank questioned

"Absolutely not." Charles groaned. We helped him into the chair and we made our way downstairs. It had been years since we were down here. We followed behind Charles in his wheelchair.

"What was the last time you were down here?" Logan questioned as I rubbed my hands it was chilly. Hank removed his jacket as he answered

"The last time we went looking for students." Hank answered draping his jacket over my shoulders giving me his warmth. I smiled gratefully.

"A life time ago." We stopped in front of the entrance to Cerebro. The door scanned Charle's face

"Welcome, professor." the doors opened and wen entered the vast large room. I bent down to help switch it on.

"Raven's wounded so she won't be moving fast." I tell him then kiss his cheek "I'm so proud of you." I whisper in his ear. Then stood back he took the helmet and blew off the gathering dust.

"These are muscles I haven't stretched in a long time. He gasps and groans as we watch the projection of his mind.

"Argh. Pippa" he held out his hand I gave him my hand and he gripped it tightly as he became overwhelmed shattering the small glass parts of the machine. I turned away for a moment.

"Charles?" I ask in concern he leans into me as I wrap my arms around him "It's okay, you're okay." I kiss his head

"Hank and I will go check the generator."  We part and head down to check on it. Hank and i got the power back on. And went back to the others

"Powers back on." Hank stated

"Yes." Charles answered looking to us "Yes it is." he headed back inside and tried again.

"Pippa, my Pippa." he looked up  and held out his hand. I stood next to him and took it. The two of us were sucked in, he found Raven.

"Raven stop. Stop running." Charles speaks

"Charles? Where are you?" Raven questions

"Back at the house, with Pippa, where you should be." I felt a squeeze on my hand "I need you to come home."

"Hello Blackbird." i spoke.

"I know what I need to do." Raven got up and left. Charles switched to another human

"If you kill Trask you'll create more just like him?"

"Then I'll kill them too."  She replied

"Those are Erik words, not yours."  Charles stated through another person. Raven knocked into someone

"The girl we grew up with wasn't capable of killing. She was good, fair, full of compassion." Charles continued

"She was the one, who truly helped me to control my powers." I added " You were my hope and solace, you are my sister, Raven. We need our sister"

"I have compassion, just not for Trask. Why are you still with him, Pippa? You have a husband, a daughter." she wondered

"He's family, just like you." I answer. "Leave Trask, come home."

"I can't he's killed to many of us." she walked away

"Shut her down Charles, get in her head." Logan pressured

"I can't, she's not letting me in. I'm barely holding on even with Pippa's help. I'm not strong enough yet."

"Project us Charles, let her see us. Use my what I have seen" I encourage. He gripped tighter. We watched Raven walk then halt seeing us

"We know what Trask has done but killing him will not bring them back. It will set you on a path from which there is no return. An endless cycle of killing. Us and them till there is nothing left. But we can stop it right now, the three of us together, like it was before. You just have to come home." he spoke

"I have to? You haven't changed at all Charles and what's worse is Pippa still believes in you. Like I said I know exactly have I have to do." she broke with us and i came back. I stood back going to wrap my arms around Hank, he returned it holding me close in comfort.

"What happened? Where is she?" Logan questioned

"She's in a airport, boarding a plane." Charles answered

"A plane to where?"

"Washington DC." I answered. They all stared at me "What I pay attention." I shrug

"Guys there is something I need to show you." Hank stated
