X-Men: Days of Future Past Page #7

For all we know,

they already have her DNA...

which is all they'd need.

To create the

Sentinels of the future.

There's a theory

in quantum physics...

that time is immutable.

It's like a river.

You can throw a pebble into it...

and create a ripple,

but the current always corrects itself.

No matter what you do, the river just

keeps flowing in the same direction.

What are you trying to say?

What I'm saying is...

what if the war

is inevitable?

What if she's

meant to kill Trask?

What if this is just

simply who she is?

Just because someone stumbles,

loses their way...

doesn't mean

they're lost forever.

No, I don't believe

that theory, Hank.

And I cannot believe

that is who she is.

Ready the plane.

We're going to Washington.

You all right?

Getting there.

Whatever happens today,

I need you to promise me something.

You've looked into my mind

and seen a lot of bad...

but you've seen

the good, too.

The X-Men.

Promise me you'll find us.

Use your power,

bring us together.

Guide us. Lead us.

Storm. Scott.

Jean.

Remember those names.

There are so many of us.

We will need you,

Professor.

I'll do my best.

Your best is enough.

Trust me.

There's 12 carriers

inbound, 10 miles!

They've found us.

Thousands of people

will be gathered here today.

They've come from

all over the world...

to witness history,

along with news crews...

from at least

50 different countries.

Thank you.

Can I see your

invitations, please?

Yes, you may.

These two

are with me.

Go ahead.

Thank you.

Logan!

Please, this way, sir.

Fourth infantry...

Took a Bouncing Betty.

What happened to you?

Friendly fire.

The worst kind.

Yeah.

I haven't found her yet,

but she has to be here.

The President

of the United States.

My fellow Americans...

today we face the gravest

threat in our history...

mutants.

We have prepared

for this threat.

In the immortal words

of Robert Oppenheimer...

"Behold.

"The world will never be

the same again."

Can I help you?

No, you can't.

Here they come.

This is for you,

brothers and sisters.

Raven?

I have her.

Let me go, Charles.

There. You see?

Secret Serviceman.

Left of the stage.

Got him.

Go.

What the hell

are you doing?

I didn't tell you

to activate them.

I didn't.

Raven, please,

listen to me.

We've been given a second

chance to define who we are.

Don't do this.

Gentlemen, you cannot

pass this point.

We can't stop that many.

No, but we can

slow them down.

Erik!

Ah!

Storm!

Go, go, go!

Watch your head!

Go, go, go!

Take us to DEFCON 3.

Mr. President,

we are Code Red.

What's our air

defense readiness?

All our air

defenses are ready one.

What the hell

happened out there?

I will fix it.

You said that before.

I wanted to make a statement.

Now the whole goddamn world

knows we can't protect them.

I will fix it.

You damn well better.

Charles!

No, no, no...

Is everybody okay?

No!

Behind you.

Ah!

Now!

Do what you

were made for.

Where are you?

Ah!

I got this! Go!

Oh, dear God, no.

So much for

being a survivor.

One of them is in here.

No, no, no!

Don't kill it!

I need it alive.

What the hell has happened?

You built these

weapons to destroy us.

Why?

Because you are

afraid of our gifts.

Because we are different.

Humanity has always feared

that which is different.

Well, I am here

to tell you...

to tell the world...

you are right to fear us.

We are the future.

We are the ones

who will inherit this earth.

And anyone who

stands in our way...

will suffer the same fate

as these men...

you see before you.

Today was meant to be

a display of your power.

Instead I give you a glimpse...

of the devastation my race

can unleash upon yours.

Let this be a warning

to the world.

And to my mutant

brothers and sisters out there...

I say this.

No more hiding.

No more suffering.

You have lived

in the shadows...

in shame and fear for too long.

Come out.

Join me.

Fight together in

a brotherhood of our kind.

A new tomorrow...

that starts today.

All those years wasted...

fighting each other,

Charles.

To have a precious

few of them back...

Mr. President, sir.

Stand down.

I said, stand down!

You want to make a statement?

Kill me. Fine.

But spare everyone else.

Very heroic,

Mr. President...

but you had no intention...

of sparing any of us.

The future of our

species begins now.

You used to be

a better shot.

Trust me,

I still am.

Get out of my head,

Charles!

Raven.

Please, do not make us

the enemy today.

Look around you.

We already are.

Not all of us.

All you've done so far...

is save the lives

of these men.

You can show them

a better path.

Shut her down, Charles.

I've been trying to control

you ever since the day we met...

and look where

that's got us.

Everything that happens now...

is in your hands.

I have faith

in you, Raven.

He's all

yours, Charles.

If you let them have me,

I'm as good as dead.

You know that.

I know.

Goodbye, old friend.

Goodbye, Erik.

Are you sure you

should let them go?

Yes.

I have hope for them.

There's going to be a time, Hank,

when we are all together.

What about Logan?

The first time

Ever I saw your face

I thought the sun...

Buckminster Fuller is a great

example of an architect...

whose ideas were very similar

to those of a utopian future.

Good morning, Logan.

Late start.

Have a good lunch.

Good job.

Thank you.

Very good job.

Storm.

Jean.

Hey, Logan.

Jean.

Are you okay?

You're here.

Where else would I be?

Whoa.

Easy, pal.

Well, some things

never change.

It's good to

see you, Scott.

Uh-huh.

See you

later, Jean.

Professor.

Logan, is everything

all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think it is.

You did it.

Did what?

Logan, don't you have

a class to teach?

A class to teach?

History.

History?

Actually, I could use

some help with that.

Help with what?

Pretty much

everything after 1973.

I think the history

I know is a little different.

Welcome back.

It's good to

see you, Charles.

It's good to see everyone.

Well...

I had a promise to keep.

You and I have a lot of

catching up to do.

Yeah.

What's the last thing

you remember?

Drowning.

The past.

A new...

and uncertain world.

A world of

endless possibilities.

And infinite outcomes.

You kidding me?

Oh, he's alive!

Countless

choices define our fate.

Each choice, each moment...

a ripple in the river of time.

What do you want us to do with him,

Major Stryker?

Enough ripples...

and you change the tide.

I'll take him from here.

For the future

is never truly set.
