EDITED

Bobby: "You won't have much time in the past. The Sentinels will find us. They always do." Kitty: "And this time, we won't be able to run. We'll have no escape. This is our last chance!" Magneto: "You think this will work?" Professor X: "I have faith in them. It's not them I'm worried about, it's us." Magneto: "We were young... we didn't know any better." Professor X: "We will now." Wolverine: "See you all soon." Y/n: "Meet up at the school?" Logan: "Yes." Kitty: "This might sting a little." As Kitty forms the link to Logan's consciousness he yells out in pain and his claws extend. Wolverine screams. Y/n rolls her eyes in her mind and then growls in pain.

~With Y/n~

Y/n wakes up in a forest. Y/n: "Right. Homeless in the Amazon Rainforest."

~With Logan~

Logan wakes up in 1973 and the first thing he sees is a lava lamp, he finds himself lying naked in a waterbed next to a woman, he rises and goes to look at himself in the mirror, then looks out the window to see a busy city in '70s. Logan: "Whoa. Holy shit. It worked. Hey, what's going on?" Ramone: "Gwen, get dressed." Logan: "Who the hell are you? Hey, I don't know what's going on." Ramone: "What's going on you're supposed to be guarding the boss's daughter not screwing her." Logan: "Well, I didn't sleep with her." Ramone: "No?" Logan: "No. I mean, yes, I slept with her many times." Gwen: "Jimmy!" Logan: "That wasn't me. That was the old me. I just got here 20 seconds ago." Ramone: "Really? Then what happened to your clothes?" Logan: "My... Oh. Would you believe me if I told you I was sent here from the future?" Gwen: "Huh?" Ramone: "Get out of here, sweetheart." Logan: "Yeah." Ramone: "We're gonna take care of this comedian." Logan: "No, you're not. You're gonna give me the keys to your car and some money for gas or you're gonna wake up in the hospital. Trust me, I know how these things play out." Ramone: "Oh. Because you're from the future?" Logan: "No. Because of these. What the hell? God damn it! Peaceful thoughts." 

~Meanwhile, in Washington D.C.~ 

Trask is meeting with Congress to lobby his Sentinel program. Senator Brickman: "We are reviewing all of our defense expenditures... and all the black books are being opened. We can't support a weapon that targets our own citizens. If these mutants as you describe... are already living among us... then they are living here peacefully. We haven't had an incident in over 10 years." Senator Parker: "After what happened in Cuba? That was never confirmed. [Addressing Trask] We have very real enemies out there: The Russians, the Chinese." Senator Brickman: "We are talking about a tenth of a tenth... of a tenth population." Dr. Trask: "Allow me to read something to you." Senator Parker: "Please." Dr. Trask: "This was acquired by our friends at the CIA. [Opening a folder] It's a dissertation written by a mutant at Oxford University and I quote "To Homo Neanderthalensis, his mutant cousin: Homo Sapiens, which is us, was an aberration. The arrival of the mutated human species, Homo Sapiens, was followed by the immediate extinction of their less evolved kin." [Closes the folder] Well, now we are the Neanderthal." Senator Brickman: "Speak for yourself, Dr. Trask." Dr. Trask: "You know, when you sent our soldiers to Vietnam without the weapons they needed to win the war, you underestimated your enemy. You do that with this enemy and it won't be some border skirmish halfway around the world. This time, the war will be for our streets, our cities, our homes. By the time you see the need for my program, it'll be too late and you'll have lost two wars in one lifetime." Senator Brickman: "We're sorry Dr. Trask, but your Sentinel Program, it ain't going to fly!"
