3rd POV

"Next part here we come." Murmured Rogue and a few others as they stared at the now starting screen.

[Wolverine arrives at the X-Mansion which looks abandoned and run down, he notices the sign for Xavier School fallen on the ground, he drives to the front door, gets out of his car and knocks on the front door which is opened by Hank McCoy / Beast] Hank: Can I help you? Past Wolverine: Uh... Yeah, what happened to the school? Hank: The school's been shut for years. Are you a parent? Past Wolverine:[scoffs] I sure as hell hope not. Who are you? Hank: I'm Hank. Hank McCoy. I look after the house now. Past Wolverine: [smiles] You're Beast? Look at you. I guess you're a late bloomer. Hank: I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm gonna ask you to leave. [tries to shut the door] Past Wolverine: [pushes against door] So where's the Professor? Hank: There's no professor here. Past Wolverine: [as Logan keeps pushing against the door and Hank pushes back to close it] You're pretty strong for a scrawny kid. You sure there's not a little Beast in there? Hank: [struggling] No, he's not here. Past Wolverine: Come on, Beast. Come on, Beastie. Hank: No. [gives way as Logan bursts through door] [Logan finally manages to push through the door and enter the house] [as Logan pushes past Hank and enters X-Mansion] Hey! Is said the school's closed. You need to leave. Past Wolverine: Not until I see the Professor. Hank: [Hank grabs Logan by his shoulder and turns him round] There's no Professor here, I told you that. Past Wolverine: [To Hank] Look, kid. You and I gonna be good friends... [suddenly Logan punches Hank in the face making him fall to the ground] [Hank watches in pain as Logan goes to search for the Professor] Professor! [Hank looking angry, Hank turns into his Beast form] [Logan walks through a corridor] Professor! Beast: (Roars) [Suddenly Hank in his Beat form attacks Logan and throws him down the stairs, he hangs on the chandelier ready to strike Logan when they are interrupted by young Charles Xavier] Young Charles: Hank? What's going on here? [Logan watches as Charles walks down the stairs, wearing his dressing gown and looking disheveled] Past Wolverine: Professor? Young Charles: Please don't call me that. Beast: Why? You know this guy? Young Charles: Yeah, he looks sightly familiar. Get off the bloody chandelier, Hank. [Hank dismounts from the chandelier] Past Wolverine: You can walk? Young Charles: You're a perceptive one. Past Wolverine: I thought Erik... Young Charles: Which makes it slightly perplexing that you missed our sign on the way in. This is private property, my friend. I'm gonna have to ask him to ask you to leave. Past Wolverine: Well. I'm afraid I can't do that... because I was sent here for you. Young Charles: Well, tell whoever it was sent you that I'm busy. Past Wolverine: That's gonna be a little tricky... because the person who sent me was you. Young Charles: What? Past Wolverine: About 50 years from now. Young Charles: Like in the future, 50 years from now? Past Wolverine: Yeah. Young Charles: I sent you from the future? Past Wolverine: Yeah. Young Charles: Piss off. Past Wolverine: If you had powers, you'd know I was telling the truth. Young Charles: How do you know I don't have p... Who are you? Past Wolverine: I told you. Young Charles: Are you CIA? Past Wolverine: No. Young Charles: You've been watching me? Past Wolverine: I know you, Charles. We've been friends for years. I know your powers came when you were 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 12... that you realized all the voices were in everyone else's head. Do you want me to go on? [Charles looks confused and shocked] Young Charles: I never told anyone that. Past Wolverine: No, yet, no, but, you will. Young Charles: All right, you've piqued my interest. What do you want? Past Wolverine: We have to stop Raven. I need your help. We need your help. Young Charles: [emotional] I think I'd like to wake up now. [walks away] [Charles walks turns and walks into the next room] Hank: [To Logan] What does she have to do with this? [Logan watches as Hank turns back into his human form] Young Charles: So you're saying... they took Raven's power, and what? They weaponized it? Past Wolverine: Yep. Hank: She is unique. Young Charles: Yeah, she is, Hank. Past Wolverine: In the beginning the Sentinels were just targeting mutants, then they began to identify the genetics in non-mutants who'd eventually have mutant children or grandchildren. Then they started targeting everybody. 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've never seen anything like this. And it all starts with her. Young Charles: Let's just say for the sake of... the sake, that I choose to believe you... that I choose to help you. Raven won't listen to me. Her heat and soul belong to someone else now. Past Wolverine: I know. That's why we're gonna need Magneto, too. Young Charles: Erik? Hank: You do know where Erik is? Past Wolverine: Yeah. [Charles laughs harder then starts to walk out of the room] Young Charles: He's where he belongs. Past Wolverine: You're just gonna walk out? Young Charles: Ooh, top marks. Like I said, you are perceptive. Past Wolverine: The Professor I know would never turn his back... on someone who'd lost their path. Especially someone he loved. Young Charles: [To Logan] 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 : Fuck off! [Logan angrily grabs hold of Charles] Past Wolverine: 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? [Logan let's go of Charles] Young Charles: We all have to die sometime. [Charles turns and walks off and goes back up stairs to his room] Hank: Told you there's no professor here. Past Wolverine: What the hell happened to him? Hank: He lost everything. Erik, Raven... his legs. We built this school, the labs, this whole place... then, just after the first semester... the war in Vietnam got worse. Many of the teachers... and older students were drafted. It broke him. He retreated himself. I wanted to help, do something... so I designed a serum to treat his spine... derived from the same formula that helps me control my mutation. I take just enough to keep myself balanced... but he takes too much. I tried easing him back... but he just couldn't bear the pain, the voices. The treatment gives him his legs... but its not enough. He's... He's just lost too much. [in his room, after he's taken another shot of Hank's serum, Charles has flashback to when he first met Raven when they were children] Young Raven: You're not scared of me? Young Charles: I always believed I couldn't be the only one in the world. Charles Xavier. Young Raven: Raven. Young Charles: You're hungry and alone. Take whatever you want. We've got lots of food. You don't have to steal. In fact... you never have to steal again. And that's a promise. [Charles joins Hank and Logan again] Young Charles: I'll help you get her. Not for any of your future shite, but for her. Past Wolverine: Fair enough. Young Charles: But I'll tell you this. You don't know Erik. That man is a monster. A murderer. You think you can convice Raven to change? To come home? That's splendid. But what makes you thibk you can change him? Past Wolverine: Because you and Erik sent me back together. [we see Erik being held in a prison cell beneath the Pentagon] Hank: 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. Young Charles: He's being held... a hundred floors beneath the most heavily guarded building the planet. Past Wolverine: Why is he in there? Young Charles: What, he forgot to mention? Hank: Uh, JFK. Past Wolverine: he killed... Young Charles: What else explains a bullet miraculously curving through the air? Erik's always had a way with guns. Are you sure you want to carry on with this? Young Charles: This is your plan, not mine. Hank: We don't have any resources to get us in. Young Charles: Or out. It's just me and Hank. Past Wolverine: I know a guy. Yeah, he'd be a young man now. Grew up outside of D.C. He could get into anywhere. I just don't know how the hell we're gonna find him. [Hank looks at Charles] Hank: Is Cerebro of the question? [Charles looks down] We have a phonebook. 

"WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PROFESSOR?!?" Yelled Scott.

"That's what the high hippy teacher looked like during the 70s.  Good times, good times."  Responded Peter.

"I wonder who he was talking about at the end." Spoke Jean.

"Yeah, who are the going to find?"  Asked Wanda and Toad at the same time, instantly glaring at one another.

When Peter nor Kurt responded Logan spoke up.  "Well I guess we just got to wait and see." Though he was still questioning what happened to Charles.

"I have a question, how did this Hank McCoy able to look human?" Asked Beast.

"Drugs.  Originally were made to get ride of his mutation but it took a blue fuzzy turn."  Snickered Peter.
