The treatment for my spine affects my DNA.
You sacrificed your powers so you could walk?!
I sacrificed my powers so I could sleep. [angry] What do you know about it?
[laughs coldly]
Dry your eyes, Erik. [angry] It doesn't justify what you've done.
You have no idea what I've done.
I know you took the things that meant the most to me.
Well maybe you should have fought harder for them.
[stands up angrily]
If you want a fight Erik, I will give you a fight!
[seizes Erik by the front of his shirt]
You abandoned me! You took her away and you abandoned me!
Angel. [growing angrier as he recites the names] Azazel. Emma. Banshee. Mutant brothers and sisters, all dead! [Erik's anger begins to affect the plane's stability] Countless others experimented on, butchered! 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! You abandoned us all!
Hank McCoy [trying to maintain control of the plane]
ERIK!
[relinquishes his control of the plane, allowing Hank to regain control.]
You abandoned us all.
Hank McCoy [Charles Xavier is exasperated over failing to work Cerebro again after so many years]
I'll go check the generator.
It's not the machinery, is it!
C Charles
I can't do this!
You're just a little rusty.
C Charles
You don't understand, it's not a question of being "rusty!" I can flip the switches, I can turn the knobs, but my power doesn't come from here [points to his head], it comes from...here [points to his heart]. And it's broken. I feel like one of my students. Helpless. It was a mistake coming down here , it was a mistake freeing Eric, this whole thing has been one bloody mistake! I'm sorry, Logan, but they sent back the wrong man! [Xavier starts to leave]
You're right! [Xavier stops, surprised to hear him admit this] Actually, it was supposed to be you. But I was the only one who could physically make the trip. And, uh, I don't even know how long I've got here. But I do know that a long time ago-well, actually, a long time from now-I was your most helpless student. And you unlocked my mind. You showed me what I was, you showed me what I could be. I don't know how to do that for you, you're right, I don't! But I think I know someone who might. Look...into my mind.
CX Charles Xavier
You saw what I just did to Cerebro! You don't want me inside your head!
[amused]
There's no damage you can do that hasn't already been done, trust me!
C Charles
:[reads Logan's mind and see his torture at the hands of Weapon X, his fragmented memories, the death of Jean Grey, and his hard life.] You poor, poor man.
C Charles
No, I don't want your suffering, I don't want your future!
Look past my future! Look for your future. That's it. That's it.
PX Professor X
[Charles reads Logan's mind and appears in the future, where Professor X awaits him.]
Charles.
C Charles
Charles. [looks around to see the dire situation that both mutants and humanity face with the Sentinels in 2023.] Is this what becomes of us? Erik was right. Humanity does this to us.
PX Professor X
Not if we show them a better path.
C Charles
You still believe?
PX Professor X
Just because someone stumbles and loses their way, it doesn't mean they're lost forever. Sometimes, we all need a little help.
C Charles
I'm not the man I was. I open my mind up and it almost overwhelms me.
PX Professor X
You're afraid. I remember. And Cerebro knows it.
C Charles
All those voices…so much…pain.
PX Professor X
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 comes from the most human part of us: hope. [shows Charles his school for Mutants, his own compassion, what he fights for which helps ease his past self's mind.] Please, Charles, we need you to hope again. [Xavier, stunned, breaks the psychic link]
Find what you were looking for?
Hank McCoy [The lights return. Hank enters, having fixed the generator.]
The power's back on.
C Charles
Yes. Yes, it is.
[Wolverine smiles.] :
RD Raven Darkhölme
[Charles Xavier wants to convince Raven not to kill President Nixon]
Get out of my head, Charles!
Raven, please do not make us the enemy today.
R Raven
Look around you, we already are!
Not all of us, Raven. All you've done so far is save the lives of these men. You can show them a better path.
Hank McCoy Shut her down, Charles.
I've been trying to control you 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.
[As Mystique ponders what to do, the Mark X Sentinels destroy Iceman. They soon close in on Professor X, Kitty Pryde, Magneto and Wolverine. Just before the Sentinels could destroy them, Mystique tosses the gun aside and spares Trask, erasing the dark future. President Nixon and his cabinet are ultimately convinced that not all mutants are against humanity.]
