We enter Charles's House again. When we found Raven, Erik wanted to kill her. Both have disappeared without a trace.

Charles collapses. "Charles!" I say and run to his side. "What happened?" asks Logan. "Why can't he walk?" asks Logan. "He needs his serum," says Hank. "I can hear them," says Charles, panicking. "I know, it's ok," says Hank, and I help him to support Charles against the wall. "I'll get everything," says Hank and starts walking. Charles holds both hands to his head. "Hey, hey, pull yourself together. It's not over yet," says Logan, and Charles suddenly looks at him. "You don't believe it yourself," he says. "How do you know that?" asks Logan. "The weaker they get," says Charles, pointing to his legs, "the stronger this gets," and points to his head. "They're all coming back," says Charles, covering his ears. "Charles, look at me," I say and put my hand on his cheek. Charles looks at me. "I want it to stop," he begs. "I know, baby," I whisper. "But you're so much stronger than this," I say, brushing a few loose strands of hair from his face. I lean forward and kiss him gently.

Focus on me, baby.

I'm not strong enough. Comes it from him.

Yes, you are. You are Charles Xavier, the one who founded the X-Men, the one who taught us to fight for mutants. I love you, Charles, and whether you're in a wheelchair or not, I will never leave you, never!

While we were communicating like this, we never broke the kiss.

After a few moments we pull apart and I put my forehead against his. "Whatever you decide, I'm here for you," I smile and pull away from him. Charles looks at me briefly before rolling up the sleeve of his shirt.Look, I... I'm still here, and she's still out there," Logan says. "But we need your help, Charles. But not like this, I need you. We can't track down Raven, not like this, not without your powers," Logan continues, and Charles looks at him. "I made it a little stronger because they missed a can," Hank comes over to us and gives Charles the injection.

I know Charles will make the right choice. "Charles," says Logan.

Charles looks first at Logan, then at me. I smile gently at him.

Charles pushes the tip of the syringe in and looks at Logan and then at me. Charles seems to be thinking about it because he pulls the syringe out again and puts it to the side. I give him a gentle smile. I know it's not easy for him.

"Hank, do me a favor. Please take me to my study," says Charles, and Hank supports him and we slowly walk to his study.

Once upstairs, Hank opens the door and reveals Charles' wheelchair. "Are you really sure?" asks Hank. "No, absolutely not," replies Charles.

Hank and I help him into the wheelchair. I kneel down next to him. "I'm proud of you, Charles," I say and give him a kiss. "I'm not forcing you to stay with me if it's too much for you," Charles says. I look at him in surprise. "I'm not leaving you, Charles," I say. "Yes, but..." "No buts, Charles, never. I love you," I smile. "I love you too," he smiles.
