Roger's flying speed was incredibly fast, easily surpassing the speed of sound when flying at full power.

It was clear that Apocalypse didn't have any speed-related superpowers, at most possessing something like enhanced reflexes. Otherwise, in the original storyline, he wouldn't have been tossed around by Quicksilver like a punching bag.

At this high speed, Roger quickly flew away with the unconscious Storm, Ororo, leaving Apocalypse behind, watching helplessly without being able to do anything.

Roger had two reasons for taking Storm.

First, it was to weaken Apocalypse's forces.

Among the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse, the only two who could put up a decent fight were Erik and Storm. The other two were just fillers.

Now, with Angel's wings cut off by Roger and Storm taken away, only Magneto and Psylocke were left, and even with Apocalypse's strength, there was no way they could attack Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters head-on.

There were many mutants at the X-Mansion, and not a small number of them were powerful.

Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Professor X, Mystique, Havok, Nightcrawler, and now Roger. With so many, even Apocalypse wouldn't be foolish enough to confront them directly.

Even if Apocalypse was confident in his abilities, Erik would definitely not allow him to act recklessly. Although Magneto was in a bad mental state right now, he could still assess the relative strength of both sides.

The second reason for taking Storm was that she was still salvageable.

She was only being manipulated by Apocalypse. Storm wasn't inherently a bad person, and in the future, she would be a member of the X-Men.

Additionally, Storm greatly admired Mystique, seeing her as a hero. Once she reunited with her idol, Storm would undoubtedly switch sides and become a major asset for the X-Men.

By weakening the enemy and strengthening their own forces, Roger saw no reason not to do this.

After abducting Storm, Roger quickly returned to the X-Mansion without delay.

At this time, Professor Charles Xavier was still in the underground facility using Cerebro to control the Egyptian authorities, directing them to issue evacuation orders in Cairo, while Havok stood guard to ensure nothing happened to Charles.

The others were gathered in Charles's office, discussing the next steps.

Following Charles's instructions, Roger arrived at the office, casually tossing the tied-up Storm onto the sofa. He picked up a cup of tea from the desk and drank it in one gulp before asking the group in the room:

"How's the preparation going? Apocalypse could show up at any moment."

With Roger involved, and Apocalypse now aware of Charles's existence, it was likely that their first target wouldn't be Cairo but Xavier's School.

To prepare for Apocalypse's impending arrival, everyone had to be ready.

There were three people in the office at the moment: Beast (Hank McCoy), Mystique (Raven), and Moira MacTaggert, an FBI agent and Charles's former lover.

Moira had appeared in the first movie of the new X-Men series. She had a past romantic involvement with Charles, but in the end, to protect her, Charles had erased all her memories of him.
