[1973]
There was no zest for life in Charles, he wasn't getting better, only getting worse every year. There was nothing he could do but lie down, get drunk and then go back to sleep. Just like that every day.
His house was in disarray, became more shabby, and showed no luxury at all. Creepers almost covered the entrance fence, the fountain was full of moss, the garden was unkempt, the grass grew long, the bushes were everywhere unkempt.
Charles was lucky enough to have Hank who never gave up or had not given up on him. It was just a matter of time when finally Hank was getting sick of Charles.
Charles's life was so calm because nothing had happened. Until one day a strange man, actually if Charles wanted to try to remember, He had seen that man before.
Charles thought the man was so presumptuous that he had barged into his house without permission, and that made Charles unhappy.
It wasn't enough to break into his house, the man insisted he didn't want to go, saying he was sent from the future.
Bullshit
To Charles it was just bullshit, he wasn't that stupid, he still had his brains, he felt fooled.
Logan rolled his eyes when Charles couldn't believe it, "If you had your powers you'd know I was telling the truth"
Charles was shocked, not knowing how the man could tell that he no longer had his powers. It was clear that the man was a spy, that was what Charles had in mind.
But that man, Logan, he denied it, he said he wasn't a spy, he didn't have time to do that kind of thing.
Charles wanted proof and he got it, Logan told the specifics of what he knew about him. Surprisingly, Charles had no idea how Logan had come to know all that because so far he had never told anyone about it.
Now, he was curious about Logan, about what he really wanted.
"All right, you've piqued my interest. What do you want?" asked Charles.
"We have to stop Raven, I need your help, We need your help"
Charles tried not to laugh, after a long time, someone came asking for his help, and it was all about Raven.
"I think I'd like to wake up now..." He said emotionally then walked away.
Hank, who had been curious all along, finally got up the courage to ask about Raven, what exactly was she doing that made Logan, the man who barged in, need Charles' help.
Logan began to explain, from the beginning to the consequences at the end. And Charles still didn't seem to care, or it was more like he pretended not to care. Besides if he helped, it would be useless because Raven wouldn't listen to him, her heart belonged to someone else now.
