you want to do

Once you find them

I've looked around

enough to know

That you're the one I want

to go through time with

Thanks, kid.

Peter,

thank you very, very much.

You take care.

Hey, I saw your

flight plan in the cockpit.

Why are you going to Paris?

Imagine if they were metal.

Do me a favor and return it for me.

Okay.

And, Peter?

Take it slow.

Where did they

dig you up?

You're gonna find

this hard to believe...

but, uh, you sent me.

You and Charles.

From the future.

How did you lose them?

The treatment for my

spine affects my DNA.

You sacrificed your powers

so you could walk?

I sacrificed my powers

so that I could sleep.

What do you know about it?

I've lost my fair share.

Ha.

Dry your eyes, Erik.

It doesn't justify

what you've done.

You have no idea

what I've done.

I know that you took the things

that mean the most to me.

Well, maybe you should have

fought harder for them.

If you want a fight,

Erik...

- Sit down.

...I will give you a fight!

Let him come.

You abandoned me!

You took her away...

and you abandoned me!

Angel.

Azazel.

Emma.

Banshee.

Mutant brothers and sisters...

all dead!

Countless others...

experimented on.

Butchered!

Erik!

Where were you, Charles?

We were supposed

to protect them!

Where were you when your

own people needed you?

Hiding! You and Hank!

Pretending to be

something you're not!

Erik!

You abandoned us all.

So, you were

always an a**hole.

I take it we're best

buddies in the future.

I spent a lot of years

trying to bring

you down, bub.

How does that

work out for you?

You're like me.

You're a survivor.

Do you wanna pick

all that sh*t up?

General, maybe you should slow down,

we have a big day tomorrow.

We're celebrating, captain. It's not every day you

win a war, let alone against the American devils.

I'm getting another bottle.

Excuse me.

I'm pretty sure it was my fault.

You speak Vietnamese.

I'm an interpreter.

I speak many tongues.

Let me buy you another drink...

unless you're here with someone.

I'm alone.

A bottle of Johnnie Walker please.

You're going to the Summit tomorrow?

A pretty girl interested in politics...

Looks can be deceiving.

Lady.

Show me more, baby?

Clothes off?

What's the matter, baby?

You don't think I

look pretty like this?

Fancy a game?

It's been a while.

I'm not in the mood

for games, thank you.

I haven't had

a real sip in ten years.

I didn't kill the President.

The bullet curved, Erik.

Because I was

trying to save him.

They took me out

before I could.

Why would you

try and save him?

Because he was one of us.

You must think me

so foolish.

We've always said they

would come after us.

I never imagined they'd

use Raven's DNA to do it.

When did you last see her?

The day I left for Dallas.

And how was she?

Strong.

Driven.

Loyal.

How... How was she?

She was...

We were...

I could see why she

meant so much to you.

You should be proud

of her, Charles.

She's out there

fighting for our cause.

Your cause.

The girl I raised was

not capable of killing.

You didn't raise her,

you grew up with her.

She couldn't stay a little girl forever,

that's why she left.

She left because you

got inside her head.

That's not my power.

She made a choice.

But now we know where

that choice leads, don't we?

She's going to murder Trask,

they're going

to capture her...

and then they're

going to wipe us out.

Not if we get

to her first.

Not if we change

history tomorrow.

I'm sorry, Charles...

for what happened.

I truly am.

It's been a while

since I've played.

I'll go easy on you.

Might finally

be a fair fight.

You have the first move.

The diplomats from

all around the world

are arriving here

today at the Hotel Royal.

It's an historic day.

It's the, uh,

official ending

of the United States' military

involvement in Vietnam.

There we have the South Vietnamese

Foreign Minister...

with other South

Vietnamese dignitaries.

The Summit doesn't begin

for another hour.

The hotel has arranged

a private room

upstairs for

your special guests.

That will be plenty of time.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Hello, thank you for coming.

Congratulations on

winning this war.

Now, I know you all

have hands to shake

and photos to take downstairs...

so I will get

right to the point.

There is a new

enemy out there.

An enemy that will render

your arsenals useless...

your armies powerless...

and your nations defenseless.

You will need a new weapon for this war.

I call them Sentinels.

Named after

the ancient guardians

that stood at

the gates of the citadel.

They have the aeronautic capabilities

of a Harrier jet.

Armed with guns

that can fire off...

more than 2,000 rounds per minute

of thermoceramic ammunition.

But size, power,

speed...

You could find that

at Lockheed or Boeing.

No, what makes the

Sentinels so special...

is the ability to target

the mutant X-gene.

A genetic guidance system

that can lock onto a mark

a half a mile away.

It won't trigger unless it has

identified the target.

With this weapon,

there will be

no human collateral damage.

If I turn it on,

the system couldn't

even activate in here.

Unless there's a mutant.

There has to be

some kind of mistake.

My machines don't make mistakes.

What are you?

I assure you...

No, don't shoot it.

I assure you,

I don't know what

you're talking about.

Raven!

Raven? Raven!

Raven?

Charles?

We've come for you,

Erik and I.

Together.

I never thought

I'd see you again.

I made you

a promise a long time ago

that I would protect you.

Wolverine!

I'm going

to keep you safe.

I'm going to keep you

out of their hands.

Erik?

Erik?

What are you doing?

Securing our future.

Forgive me,

Mystique.

As long as you're out there,

we'll never be safe.

Erik...

Use your power,

Charles. Stop him.

He can't.

He's slipping back.

I'm losing him.

Stryker!

Someone will finish

what we've started, Wolverine!

One day!

Restrain him.

Erik!

Where am I?

Huh?

How the hell

did I get here?

What? You came to us.

Who are you?

Charles.

Charles Xavier!

I don't know you.

Huh?

What the hell is that?

Whoa. Whoa.

Look, I can deal with this. Just go.

Stop Erik!

Erik, please...

I'm sorry.

Erik...

You're Logan,

that's Hank McCoy,

I'm Charles Xavier.

You spent the last

couple of days with us.

You're on acid.

Somebody gave you

really bad acid, yeah?

Just hold on tight,

we'll get through

this together.

Oh, my God, Kitty.

She's wounded pretty bad.

I got him.

Professor?

What happened to you?

I just saw someone

who's gonna

bring me a lot

of pain someday.

Where's Raven?

Gone.

What?

We have to get

out of here.

We want to know if there's

any sort of connection with...

Yesterday,

the Paris Peace Summit...

was rocked by the appearance

of unidentified assailants...

the likes of which

the world has never seen.

Mass hysteria has gripped

the nation as people ask...

"Where did they come from?
