I don't sleep that much.
Id rather be doing things around this big mansion i'm trapped in, practically on my own. I mean it was a school so there's this huge academic library with no one to read its books, it would be a crime to waste that. Other times I'll be on the field levitating rocks-it's the only outlet I have to teach myself about my mutations; I was sent here by my family to stay with my cousin Charles who would help me control the powers I have, and he did for a while but the draft took a good chunk of his students and he started to take these pills that exchanged his mutation for the ability to walk, he's just gone further downhill since. Hank however I am much closer to- we spend a lot more time together whether it's at meal times or he's doing my home schooling. Sometimes he'll try to quiz me on whatever subject he's trying to teach me but I can just read his mind to see the answers. To this day he still doesn't know.

I think the fact in always so tired explains why i woke up in the library but it really doesn't explain the loud noise that woke me up.

I could only describe it as if two people had fell down the stairs.
Sitting up sharply and pulling open the double doors
I run towards the main hall and see Hank hung by his feet on the chandelier and a man in a leather jacket laying on the table.
"Hank?" Charles says, coming down the stairs "What's going on here?"
"professor?" The leather jacket guy spoke up
"Please don't call me that"
"Why? You know this guy?" hank questions, pointing at the man below him
"Yeah he looks s-slightly familiar. Get off the bloody chandelier, Hank."
"You can walk."
What? does he know?
"you're a perceptive one."
"I thought Erik.."
This guy knows Erik?
"Which makes it slightly perplexing that you managed to miss our sign on the way in. This is private property, my friend" Charles then points at hank " I'm going to have to ask...him to ask you to leave."

I walk out from the corner i was hiding in "uhrm...Good morning?"
They all look my way
"uh mornin' " leather jacket guy says. As he does, I read his thoughts
'Is that (y/n)? She looks so young' what is he talking about?
Searching further through his mind I learnt his name, Logan.
"Anyway, I'm afraid i can't do that because.. because i was sent here for ya." Logan continues
"Well, tell whoever it was that sent you that i'm... busy."
"That's gonna be a little tricky. Because the person who sent me...was you."
what?
"What?"
"About 50 years from now."
"50 years from now? Like in the future, 50 years from now?"
"Yeah"
"I sent you from the future?" Charles looks at me and Hank to see if we're hearing the same thing
"Yeah"
"Piss off"
"If you had your powers you'd know I was telling the truth"
What the hell? How does he- Who is this guy?
"How do you know i don't have my... Who are you?"
"I told you."
"Are you CIA?"
"No"
"You been watching me?"
"I know you Charles. We've been friends for years. I know your powers came when you where 9. I know you thought you were going crazy when it started, all the Voices in your head. And it wasn't until you were twelve that you realised all the voices were in everyone else's head. Do you want me to go on?"
There is no way. Charles has only told me that and that was when i was when i first moved from England.
"I've only ever told one person that." Charles says locking eyes with me,
"So far yes" logan replies
"Alright, you've piqued my interest what do you want?"
"We have to stop raven. I need your help"
Charles sighs and runs his hand through his hair "I think id like to wake up now" then walks into his office
Hank start to go back to normal at the mention of the blue woman who I've been told about but am yet to meet
"What does she have to do with this?"

-------------------------------------

"So you're saying, That they took Ravens power and they... weaponised it?" Charles asked, we were now stood in the office to the right of the staircase.
Logan replies "Yep"
"She is unique" Hank says and i turn to look at him knowingly
"Yes she is, Hank." I say smirking
" Look, in the beginning the sentinels were just targeting mutants. Then they began to identify the genetics in non-mutants who would eventually have mutant children and grandchildren. Many of the humans tried to help us. It was a slaughter, leaving only the worst of humanity in charge. I've been in a lot of wars. I'd never seen anything like this. And it all starts with her." I pick at the skin around my nails, nothing like a stranger from the future to give you the worst feeling of anxiety about the world 50 years from now.
Charles, now sat on a different chair for some reason, says
" well let's just say that for the sake of... the sake that I-I choose to believe you, that i choose to help you. Raven wont listen to me." he sighs
"No, her heart and soul belong to someone else now."
Hank looks down sadly
"I know" Logan starts
"that's why we're gonna need magneto, too."
Charles starts to laugh whilst I look at Logan confused and say "Erik? You do know where he is?"
"Yeah."
At this point Charles is laughing hysterically but eventually calms down "He's where he belongs." Locked deep in the pentagon.
"That's it? You're just gonna walk out?" Logan raised his voice
"Oh, Top marks like I said, you are perceived." Charles quips back.
"The professor i know would never turn his back on someone who lost their path. Especially someone he loved."
"You know, I think i do remember you now. Yeah, we came to you a long time ago seeking your help. And i'm gonna say to you, what you said to us then. Fuck off."
Suddenly, Logan grabbed Charles by the collar of his shirt. I stood up from my chair just in case anything happens
"Listen to me, you little shit. I've come a long way and I've watched a lot of people die. Good people. Friends. If you're gonna wallow in self-pity and do nothing then you're gonna watch the same thing, you understand?"
he then let's go of him
"We all have to die sometime."
Charles says, slowly backing off and up towards the stairs
"Told you there was no professor here" Hank says softly
"What the hell happened to him?" I look at the floor with a blank expression as Hank moves to talk.

-------------------------------------

As hank tells Logan about Charles's sad story I start to zone out, I don't need to listen as I've already lived through it. I start to play with a few books, floating them back and forth between my hands.
Then, unexpectedly, Charles comes outside the office and says
"I'll help you get her."
I stand up and smile. "Not for any of your future shite but for her."
"fair enough."
"But i'll tell you this-- you don't know Erik. That man is a monster, a murderer. You think you can convinced Raven to change? To come home? That's splendid. But what make you think you can change him?"
Charles asks
"Because you and Erik sent me back here together."

---------————------------------

We're now around the table making a plan but I'm just happy about the fact they're letting me come.
"The room they're holding him in was built during the second world war when there was a shortage of steel. So the foundation is pure concrete and sand, no metal." Hank told us
"He's being held a hundred floors beneath the most heavily guarded building on the planet." Charles added
"Why's be in there?"
Me, Hank and Charles look at each other
"What, He forgot to mention...?" Charles laughs
"JFK." I say, gritting my teeth at him
Logan looks at me in shock and uncertainty "He killed--"
"What else explains a bullet miraculously curving through the air? Eriks always had a way with guns. You sure you want to carry on with this?"
"This is your plan not mine."
hank the brought up a good point "We don't have Any resources to get us is."
"or out. It's just us three" I added

Logan thought for a second "I know a guy. Yeah he'd be a young man now. Grew up out side of DC. He could get into anywhere, I just don't know how the hell we're gonna find him."
"Is Cerebro out of the question?" Hank asks Charles who looks down saying no
"We have a phone book" I say enthusiastically.
