X-Men: The Last Stand Page #3

Synopsis: When a cure is created, which apparently can turn any mutant into a normal human being, there is outrage amongst the mutant community. Whilst some mutants do like the idea of a cure, including Rogue, many mutants find that there shouldn't be a cure. Magneto, who still believes a war is coming, recruits a large team of mutants to take down Warren Worthington II and his cure. Might seem easy for the X-Men to stop, but Magneto has a big advantage, which Wolverine doesn't have. Jean Grey has returned, and joined with Magneto. The Phoenix has woken within her, which has the ability to destroy anything in her way, even if that 'anything' is a X-Men.

- Everything's going to be fine.

- Wait. I can't do this.

Warren, calm down.

- I can't do this.

- Yes, you can.

- I can't do this.

- Just relax, son. Take it easy. Calm down.

- I promise you it will be fine. Warren, relax.

- Dad.

Warren, it's a better life.

- It's what we all want.

- No.

It's what you want.

Warren, no!

Told you so.

About time.

I've been busy.

Did you find what you were looking for?

The source of the cure is a mutant.

A child at Worthington Labs.

Without him, they have nothing.

Read off the guest list.

"Cell 41205. James Madrox."

This one robbed seven banks.

- At the same time.

- I could use a man of your talents.

- I'm in.

- Welcome to the Brotherhood.

- Careful with this one.

- "Cain Marko. Solitary confinement."

Check this out.

"Prisoner must be confined at all times."

"If he builds any momentum,

no object can stop him."

How fascinating.

- What do they call you?

- Juggernaut.

- I can't imagine why.

- Are you going to let me out? I need a pee.

- Nice helmet.

- Keeps my face pretty.

I think he'll make a fine addition to our army.

No!

You saved me.

Eric.

I'm sorry, my dear.

You're not one of us any more.

Such a shame. She was so beautiful.

Think resigning will make a difference?

That's no way to influence policy.

Policy is being made without me,

Mr. President.

The decision to turn the cure into a weapon

was made without me.

What happened on that convoy

was inexcusable. But your actions...

That was an isolated incident. You have to

understand those mutants were a real threat.

Have you even begun to think

what a slippery slope you're on?

I have.

And I worry about how democracy survives

when one man can move cities with his mind.

As do I.

You and I know

that it's only going to get worse.

All the more reason

why I need to be where I belong.

Jean.

- Hi, Logan.

- Welcome back.

Back where we first met. Only I was

in your place and you were in mine.

Are you OK?

Yeah.

More than OK.

Logan, you're making me blush.

- You're reading my thoughts?

- I don't have to.

It's OK.

It's OK.

- Wait.

- No.

Jean.

- This isn't you.

- Yes, it is me.

No. Maybe you ought to take it easy.

The professor said you might be different.

He would know, wouldn't he?

What? You think he's not in your head too?

Look at you, Logan. He's tamed you.

Where's Scott?

Jean?

- Where am I?

- You're in the mansion.

You need to tell me what happened to Scott.

Jean, tell me what happened to him.

Oh, God.

Look at me.

Stay with me. Talk to me.

- Look at me. Look at me.

- No.

Focus. Focus, Jean.

Kill me.

- What?

- Kill me before I kill someone else.

- Don't say that.

- Please.

- Stop it.

- Kill me.

Stop it. Look at me. Look at me. Jean.

It'll be all right. We can help you.

Hey. The professor can help. He can fix it.

I don't want to fix it.

Voluntary? They put the cure in a gun.

I told you they would draw first blood.

- So what do we do?

- What do we do?

We use this weapon as a lightning rod

to bring countless more to our cause.

Come. We have an army to build.

I picked something up.

An electromagnetic force. It's massive.

It's a mutant.

Class five.

More powerful than anything I've ever felt.

More powerful than you.

Where is she?

Logan.

- Jean. Jean.

- What happened?

What have you done?

- I think she killed Scott.

- What?

- That's not possible.

- I warned you.

She's left the mansion, but she's trying

to block my thoughts. She's so strong.

It may be too late.

- Wait for me here.

- What?

I need to see Jean alone.

You were right, Charles.

- This one is special.

- What the hell are you doing here?

Same as the professor. Visiting an old friend.

- I don't want trouble here.

- Nor do I.

So, shall we go inside?

I came to bring Jean home. Don't interfere.

- Just like old times, eh?

- She needs help. Jean is not well.

Funny, you sound just like her parents.

Nobody gets inside.

- I knew you'd come.

- Of course. I've come to bring you home.

- I have no home.

- Yes, you do. You have a home and a family.

You know he thinks your power

is too great for you to control.

I don't believe your mind games

are going to work any more, Charles.

- So you want to control me?

- He does.

No. I want to help you.

Help me? What's wrong with me?

- Absolutely nothing.

- Eric, stop.

No, Charles, not this time.

You've always held her back.

For your own good, Jean.

Stay out of my head.

- I'm going in.

- The professor said he'd handle this.

Look at me, Jean. I can help you. Look at me.

Get out of my head.

- Perhaps you should listen to her, Charles.

- Trust me. You're a danger to everyone.

- But I can help you.

- I think you want to give her the cure.

Look at Scott. You killed the man you loved

because you couldn't control your power.

No! Stop it!

That's it.

Jean, let me in.

No, Jean.

Jean!

Don't let it control you.

Charles.

My dear. Come with me.

No.

God!

We live in an age of darkness.

A world full of fear, hate and intolerance.

But in every age,

there are those who fight against it.

Charles Xavier was born to a world divided.

A world he tried to heal.

A mission he never saw accomplished.

It seems the destiny of great men

to see their goals unfulfilled.

Charles was more than a leader,

more than a teacher. He was a friend.

When we were afraid, he gave us strength.

And when we were alone, he gave us a family.

He may be gone, but his teachings

live on through us, his students.

Wherever we may go,

we must carry on his vision.

And that's a vision of a world united.

Kitty.

Bobby.

- You OK?

- Yeah.

It's just... Xavier came to my house.

He was the one that convinced me

to come here.

Yeah, me too.

- We're all feeling the same way, you know.

- No, Bobby, we're not.

You have Rogue and I have...

You know, I just miss home.

The first snow and all that.

- Kitty, get up. Come with me.

- Storm told us to stay in our rooms.

Don't worry. We won't get caught.

I mean, you can

walk through walls, you know.

Come on.

This place can be home too.

Thank you for this, Bobby.

You need a lift, kid?

No.

Where are you going?

You don't know what it's like to be afraid of

your powers, afraid to get close to anybody.

Yeah, I do.

I want to be able to touch people, Logan.

A hug. A handshake.

A kiss.

I hope you're not doing this for some boy.

Look, if you wanna go, then go.

Just be sure it's what you want.

Shouldn't you be telling me to stay?

To go upstairs and unpack?

I'm not your father. I'm your friend.

Just think about what I said, Rogue.

Marie.

Marie.

Remember when we first met? Do you know

what I saw when I looked at you?

I saw the next stage in evolution

both Charles and I dreamt of finding.

And I thought to myself, "Why would Charles

want to turn this goddess into a mortal?"

I can manipulate the metal in this,

but you, you can do anything.

Anything you can think of.

Jean.

Enough.

Enough.

You sound just like him.
