"Pippa, stop." I did "Stop him, you're stronger than him."
"Charles."
"Go." he insisted I battled with myself.
"You want to make a statement?" I turned to see the president come out "Kill me, fine. But spare everyone else." I walk out behind him my eyes scan and i see two versions of the president. I know that the one speaking is Raven.
"Very heroic, Mr President but you had no intentions of sparing any of us. The future of our species begins now."
"Not on my watch." I call
"Stay away, Philippa ." he retorted
"Make me" I raise my hands and ignite the guns. He growls in annoyance . I then make a fist and roots from the ground holding him in place. Raven shoots him, wounding him.
"You used to be a better shot." he groans as i strut over he is held in place.
"Trust me I still am." she retorts and I remove his helmet. Just as Raven rounds the gun back to the man in the bunker. They part to reveal Trask. Time stops and we see Charles
"Get out of my head Charles!" she yells
"Raven. Please do not make us the enemy today." Charles pleads with her
"Look around you, we already are." She argues
"No we're not. Not yet." I say taking her side "You can show them the good in us, that you are different from him." i glance back
"She's right." Charles continued "All you've done so far is help save the lives of these men. You can show them a better path."
"We can be better than them, show them that being rules by fear and anger makes them the monsters not us."
"I've been trying to control you ever since the day we met and look where that's got us. Our family is broken. Everything that happens now is in your hands. I have faith in you Raven, we both do." time went back to normal again and I looked back raising the rubble of Charles and freeing him as I should have done in the first place. I watched as Raven struggled with her decision. But ultimately dropped the gun.
I grabbed her hand in support. She turned to me and rested her hand on my cheek. I saw the anger lessen in her eyes as she then let go and walked away. I turned to Erik and removed his binds.
"If you let them have me i'm as good as dead. You know that." he stated
"Personally I would kill you on principal, but then I would be like you, letting fear and hate rule my heart. Charles can decide" I walked over to him and Hank and held on to him
"Goodbye old friend."
"Goodbye Erik." Charles replied we looked over to raven who spared us a glance before really leaving
"Are you sure you should let them go?" Hank asked
"Yes. I have hope for them There's going to be a time, Hank, when we're all together." Charles replied
"And what about Logan?" I ask
