X-Men: Days of Future Past Page #6

Charles.

So this is what

becomes of us.

Erik was right.

Humanity does this to us.

Not if we show

them a better path.

You still believe?

Just because someone

stumbles, loses their way...

it doesn't mean

they're lost forever.

Sometimes we all need

a little help.

Oh, I'm not

the man I was.

I open my mind...

and it almost

overwhelms me.

You're afraid,

and Cerebro knows it.

All those voices...

so much pain.

It's not their pain

you're afraid of.

It's yours, Charles.

And as frightening

as it may be...

that pain will

make you stronger.

If you allow

yourself to feel it...

embrace it...

it will make you more powerful

than you ever imagined.

It's the greatest

gift we have...

to bear their pain

without breaking.

And it's born...

from the most human power.

Hope.

Please, Charles...

we need you to hope again.

Find what you were looking for?

The power's back on.

Yes.

Yes, it is.

She's lost too much blood.

She can't keep

going like this.

We have no

choice, Bobby.

We can wake him up.

No!

They need more time.

I had...

a glimpse into the past.

If we wake Logan now...

we may set our fate

on an even darker course.

They need more time.

There is someone else.

No, no one

has Kitty's power.

Someone that could

take her power,

take her place.

She took yours once.

Rogue.

I'm sorry, Bobby,

she must be dead.

I haven't been able to make

a connection

with her for years.

That's because

they're keeping her

in the one place

your mind can't reach

from the outside.

She's in Cerebro.

She's in your house,

Professor.

They're experimenting on her.

Trying to tap into her power,

so they can take ours.

Take all of ours.

If you knew this,

why didn't you go after her?

We tried.

It's too heavily guarded.

I may know a few things

about that house they don't.

Kitty, I'm

going to get help.

I'm gonna bring back

somebody to help you.

Please, just bring

yourself back.

Raven, stop.

Stop running.

Charles?

Where are you?

Back at the house...

where you should be.

I need you to come home.

I know what

I need to do.

If you kill Trask...

you will be creating countless

more just like him.

Then I'll kill them, too.

Those are Erik's words,

not yours.

Oh!

The girl I grew up with

wasn't capable of killing.

She was good...

fair, full of compassion.

I have compassion.

Just not for Trask.

He's murdered

too many of us.

Shut her down, Charles.

Get in her head.

She's not letting me in.

I'm barely holding on.

I'm not strong enough yet.

I know what

Trask has done...

but killing him

will not bring them back.

It will set you

on a path...

from which

there is no return.

An endless cycle of killing.

Us and them,

until there is nothing left.

But we can stop it,

right now, you and I.

You just have

to come home.

I have to?

You haven't changed

at all, Charles.

Like I said...

I know exactly

what I have to do.

You do?

Then, wherever you go,

I will find you.

And, Raven, if you make me,

I will stop you.

Good luck, Charles.

Where is she?

She's in an airport,

boarding a plane.

She could be

going anywhere.

Get some

rest, Charles.

We'll track her in the

morning and find out

exactly where

she's going.

...rockets did land

outside the base,

killing five civilians

and wounding 12 others.

Yeah?

You know that those things

can give you cancer?

I've done some toxicology

tests in the lab, and...

You want something?

Yeah, I'm...

I know it's complicated,

and there's probably

all kinds of rules

and reasons for what

you can and can't say,

but I was wondering

if you could tell me

in the future,

do I make it?

No.

Oh.

Okay.

It's okay. Thanks.

Hey, kid?

It's just the world

I came from.

We're going

backwards in time.

Tomorrow, in front

of the White House,

the President will

make his announcement.

He will be joined by

Secretary of Defense Laird...

and has even

sought the help

of renowned scientist

Bolivar Trask...

his special advisor to

combat this mutant issue.

The White House has

asked all three networks

to air the event live,

as it is a

matter of importance

not only to the

United States,

but to every citizen

from around the globe.

There are no other details

about the event...

Raven...

My God.

I don't understand.

What are you doing here?

I, uh...

I guess,

I just realized

I have nowhere else to go.

I've gotta wake Charles...

No, don't.

Just wait.

You really shouldn't

walk on this.

I've had worse.

So, you've been living

here all these years?

Someone had to

take care of Charles.

You know,

he's missed you.

He misses who I was.

I'm not who he wants

me to be anymore.

I've missed you.

So, you're like this

all the time now.

Like what?

This.

No, not

all the time.

I take a shot

in the morning,

and I need another

if I get worked up.

Worked up?

Yeah, yeah,

when I'm...

...emotional

or excited.

Any animal urges.

Hmm.

Usually, I can

fight them off.

Well, maybe,

we shouldn't have to fight off

the things that

come naturally to us.

Do you remember one of

the last things you said to me?

That I would never be deemed beautiful,

looking like this?

Do you still think that?

Maybe. You saw

what happened in Paris.

You know what

they think of us.

What do you think?

I think you're beautiful.

What about yourself?

You should get some rest.

I'm glad you're home.

Hank?

Do you remember the last

thing I said to you?

It was, "Mutant and proud."

The old gas and water pipes

lead straight to the house.

The walls are made

of reinforced steel.

In other words, a door.

You're walking

directly over the hall now.

I've been on that slab.

Let me show you

how it feels.

Rogue, Rogue,

come on. Wake up.

Rogue.

Come on, Rogue, wake up.

Wake up, it's me.

No.

Rogue, Rogue, Rogue,

it's okay. He's with me.

We're gonna

get you out of here.

Erik, Bobby.

Get out of there! Now!

Take her!

Bobby! No!

Bobby!

Bobby!

Professor!

Get us out of here.

Bobby.

I know.

I'm sorry, Charles.

Where's Bobby?

I'm sorry, Kitty.

Hello, Logan.

Rogue.

Raven was here.

I screwed up.

Sh*t.

We can't track her now.

She's cut her ties.

Hey, I saw in the

news last night

there's going to be an announcement

in Washington this afternoon

about a new

protocol for mutants.

I set the system

I designed...

to record any news about

Paris over all three networks...

and PBS.

All three? Wow.

Yeah, and PBS.

Look what I found.

Tomorrow, in front

of the White House,

the President will

make his announcement.

He will be joined by Secretary

of Defense Laird...

and has even sought the help

of renowned scientist

Bolivar Trask...

his special advisor

to combat this mutant issue.

The White House has asked...

Raven doesn't realize...

that if she kills Trask

at an event like that...

with the whole world watching...

Then I came a

long way for nothing.

And there's more bad news.

I saw in a report...

they found traces

of her blood in Paris.
