X-Men: Days of Future Past Page #2

Oh. Because you're

from the future?

No.

Because of these.

What the hell?

God damn it!

Peaceful thoughts.

Jimmy! What happened

to Ramon?

And why are you

talking crazy talk?

Look, uh...

Gwen.

Gwen, you're gonna wanna

lay low for a few days,

all right?

Starting now.

Come on, out.

Go.

Hmm.

Today, the 18th MP Brigade

is departing from Saigon,

marking the last American

troops to leave Vietnam.

And effectively ending the war.

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.

After what happened in Cuba?

That was never confirmed.

We have very real

enemies out there...

the Russians, the Chinese.

We are talking about

a tenth of a tenth...

of a tenth

of our population.

Allow me to read

something to you.

Please.

This was acquired by

our friends at the CIA.

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."

Well...

Now, we are

the Neanderthal.

Speak for yourself,

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...

Mmm...

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...

and by the time you see the

need for my program...

it will be too late...

and you will have lost

two wars in one lifetime.

We are sorry,

Dr. Trask...

but your Sentinel Program...

it ain't gonna fly.

Can I help you, Colonel?

Just here to give our

boys a proper send-off.

I'm sorry, sir,

but we have orders.

This is a quarantined area.

Stand aside, soldier.

That's an order.

Atten-hut!

At ease.

What is all this?

Lab reports,

blood tests.

It's all getting packed up

and shipped back.

Where is it going?

Same place they are.

Trask Industries.

Let's go, gentlemen.

I'm taking you out

of this sh*t show.

Shipping home?

Not just yet.

What are you doing

with those?

Something to make the ride

a little smoother.

I'm transferring you

to a private facility...

where we can run

a few more tests.

Your men are not military.

Private outfit.

We're authorized

to remand these men.

Hmm.

These troops are going home.

Well, Colonel,

I don't believe you have

jurisdiction in this matter.

I'm afraid I do, son.

I'm sorry, who are you?

The question is,

Major...

...who are you?

Raven!

That's not my name.

I had that.

I know.

Let's move out.

Come on, let's go.

Where's Erik?

I'm on my own now.

Let's go! Move it!

Hold that plane!

Wouldn't wanna leave these

boys in this godforsaken country.

Yes, sir.

You're not coming

with us, are you?

My war's not over.

The enemy is

still out there.

The four privates,

where did they go?

They were headed

towards the tarmac.

Can I help you?

Uh... Yeah,

what happened to the school?

The school's been shut for years.

Are you a parent?

I sure as hell

hope not. Who are you?

I'm Hank. Hank McCoy.

I look after the house now.

You're Beast?

Look at you. I guess

you're a late bloomer.

I don't know what

you're talking about,

but I'm gonna have

to ask you to leave.

So where's the Professor?

There's no professor here.

You're pretty strong

for a scrawny kid.

You sure there's not

a little Beast in there?

No, he's not here.

Come on, Beast.

Come on, Beastie.

No.

Hey!

I said the school's closed.

You need to leave.

Not until I see the Professor.

There's no professor here,

I told you that.

Look, kid.

You and I are gonna be good friends.

You just don't know it yet.

Professor!

Professor!

Hank?

What's going on here?

Professor?

Please don't call me that.

Why?

You know this guy?

Yeah, he looks

slightly familiar.

Get off the bloody

chandelier, Hank.

You can walk.

You're a perceptive one.

I thought Erik...

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.

Well.

I'm afraid

I can't do that...

because, uh,

I was sent here for you.

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?

About 50 years from now.

I know. Stay with me.

Like in the future,

50 years from now?

Yeah.

I sent you from the future?

Yeah.

Piss off.

If you had your powers,

you'd know I was telling the truth.

How do you know

I don't have my p...

Who are you?

I told you.

Are you CIA?

No.

You've been watching me?

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?

I never told anyone that.

Not yet, no,

but, you will.

All right,

you've piqued my interest.

What do you want?

We have to stop Raven.

I need your help.

We need your help.

I think I'd like

to wake up now.

What does she

have to do with this?

So you're saying...

they took Raven's

power, and what?

They weaponized it?

Yep.

She is unique.

Yeah, she is, Hank.

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,

but 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.

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 heart and soul

belong to someone else now.

I know.

That's why we're

gonna need Magneto, too.

Erik?

You do know where he is?

Yeah.

Could you give me that

one more time, please?

You heard me.

He's where he belongs.

You're just gonna walk out?

Ooh, top marks.

Like I said, you are perceptive.

The Professor I know

would never turn his back...

on someone who'd

lost their path.

Especially someone he loved.

You know...

I think I do

remember you now.

Yeah. Tall, angry fellow

with the contentious hair.

We came to you a long time ago...

seeking your help.

And I'm gonna say to you

what you said to us then.

F*** off.

Listen to me,

you little sh*t.

I've come a long way,

and I've watched a lot of people die.

Good people. Friends.
