X-men: First Class Page #7

Banshee has got a location on Shaw.

- Are you ready for this?

- Let's find out.

Remember, the point between rage

and serenity.

Erik, take my hand!

Hold on, guys. It's gonna get bumpy.

Erik, take my hand!

Moira? Moira, are you all right?

Yeah, I'm okay.

I read the teleporter's mind.

Shaw is drawing all the power

out of his sub.

He's turning himself into

some kind of nuclear bomb.

We got no time.

The Geiger count is going out of control.

Moira, this is what we're gonna do.

Get on the radio and tell them to

clear both fleets out immediately.

- I'm going in.

- Beast, Havok, back him up.

Erik, I can guide you through

once you're in,

but I need you to shut down

whatever it is that's blocking me,

then we just hope to God

it's not too late for me to stop him.

- Got it.

- Good luck!

- Raven, stop!

- I'm going to help them.

We don't have time for this.

If anything comes in that entrance,

- you're taking care of it, yes?

- Fine.

Beast!

If we go, you go!

We believe Shaw is trying to detonate

some kind of bomb.

Erik, make for the middle of the vessel.

That's the point my mind can't penetrate.

We have to assume

that that's where Shaw is.

Gangway! Gangway! Gangway!

That's the nuclear reactor. Disable it.

Stop! Don't move!

Get down!

Erik, you're there. You've reached the void.

He's not here, Charles. Shaw's not here!

He's left the sub!

What? He's got to be there. He has to be!

There's nowhere else he can be.

Keep looking.

And I'm telling you he's not.

There's no one here, God damn it!

Erik.

What a pleasant surprise.

Erik? Erik.

So good to see you again.

May I ask you something?

Why are you on their side?

- He's gone.

- What?

He's gone into the void!

I can't communicate with him there.

Why fight for a doomed race

who will hunt us down

as soon as they realize

their reign is coming to an end?

Yeah! Yes!

I'm sorry for what happened in the camps.

I truly am.

He's back!

Erik, whatever you're doing, keep doing it.

It's starting to work.

But everything I did, I did for you.

To unlock your power,

to make you embrace it.

It's working!

I'm starting to see him,

but I can't yet touch his mind.

You've come a long way

from bending gates.

I'm so proud of you.

And you're just starting

to scratch the surface.

Think how much further we could go

together.

Look out!

Stop! Azazel.

I don't want to hurt you, Erik. I never did.

I want to help you.

This is our time.

Our age.

We are the future of the human race.

You and me, son.

This world could be ours.

Everything you did made me stronger.

It made me the weapon I am today.

It's the truth.

I've known it all along.

You are my creator.

Now, Charles!

- Are you okay?

- Moira, be quiet.

I can only control this man for so long.

- Sorry, Charles.

- Erik, please.

- Be the better man.

- It's not that I don't trust you.

Erik, there will be no turning back!

No!

- Charles!

- Don't do this, Erik!

If you're in there,

I'd like you to know

that I agree with every word you said.

We are the future.

But,

unfortunately,

you killed my mother.

This is what we're going to do.

No. Please, Erik, no.

I'm going to count to three

and I'm going to move the coin.

One.

Please, Erik.

Two.

Three.

The Russians share our concerns

and will join a strike on all the mutants.

We can end this threat for good.

We'll never have

another opportunity like this.

We have an agent on that beach.

One agent.

She's a good agent.

She's collateral damage.

Today, our fighting stops!

Take off your blinders,

brothers and sisters.

The real enemy is out there.

I feel their guns moving in the water,

their metal targeting us.

Americans, Soviets,

humans.

United in their fear of the unknown.

The Neanderthal is running scared,

my fellow mutants!

Go ahead, Charles.

Tell me I'm wrong.

Fleet Commander, this is X-Ray Bravo 7-0.

Respond. Over.

The beach is secure. Call off the attack.

The beach is targeted

and ready to be fired upon, sir.

- Stand by.

- Standing by, sir.

New orders. Fire on the beach.

Hello?

Hello!

Fire!

Erik, you said yourself,

we're the better men.

This is the time to prove it.

There are thousands of men

on those ships.

Good, honest, innocent men!

They're just following orders.

I've been at the mercy

of men just following orders.

Never again.

Erik, release them!

No!

I don't want to hurt you. Don't make me!

Stand back!

Charles, that's enough!

Erik, stop!

Gentlemen, it's been an honor

serving with you.

Comrades, thank you for your service.

I'm so sorry.

I said back off!

You. You did this.

Erik. Please.

She didn't do this, Erik.

You did.

Us turning on each other,

it's what they want.

I tried to warn you, Charles.

I want you by my side.

We're brothers, you and I.

All of us together, protecting each other.

We want the same thing.

My friend.

I'm sorry, but we do not.

Charles! I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

It's all right. It's all right.

This society won't accept us.

We form our own.

The humans have played their hand.

Now we get ready to play ours.

Who's with me?

No more hiding.

You should go with him.

It's what you want.

You promised me

you would never read my mind.

I know.

I promised you a great many things,

I'm afraid.

I'm sorry.

Take care of him.

And, Beast, never forget.

Mutant and proud.

Help me out, come on.

I'm gonna get you to a hospital.

Wait, Charles.

Charles, don't move, okay?

I won't.

Actually...

I can't feel my legs.

- What?

- I can't feel my legs.

I can't feel my legs.

In this week of Thanksgiving

there is much for which we can be grateful

as we look back to where we stood

only four weeks ago.

The unity of this hemisphere,

the support of our allies

and the calm determination

of the American people.

These qualities may be tested

many more times in this decade.

So, how many students

do you think you'll have here

once you get the academy up and running?

As many as I can manage.

Possibly more.

You know,

one day the government is going to realize

how lucky they were to have

Professor X on their side.

I suppose I am

a real professor now, aren't I?

Next thing you know, I'll be going bald.

We're still on the government's side, Moira.

We're still G-men. Just without the "G".

No. You're your own team now.

It's better.

You're X-Men.

Yes, I like the sound of that.

Moira?

For us, anonymity will be

the first line of defense.

I know.

They can threaten me

all they want, Charles.

I'll never tell them where you are.

Ever.

I know you won't.

I know.

I remember the attack on HQ,

leaving to go somewhere else.

And then this morning, I woke up at home.

That's it.

All that time, wiped clean from your mind.

Just gone.

He can do that?

You don't remember anything?

Sometimes I get fragments.

Like

trees,

sunlight.

- A kiss.

- Oh, Jesus.

Gentlemen, this is why

the CIA is no place for a woman.

What the hell was that?

I know we've had our differences.

Where's your telepath friend?
