Chapter 1
The Future
The sky was so dark, we have been traveling for hours by plane and my mom is still trying to find them, the mutant who can change our future. My name is Zoey Xavier- Lehnsherr. My mom name's Charles Xavier, one of the most powerful telepath alive and my dad is Erik Lehnsherr, the greatest metalbander who ever lived. I was born different from the others mutants in so many ways (is that the difference? that she is all white? couse if that's about her abillity yoy may want to put that sentence a little lower) - my hair is blond and long, I have a bang, my skin is so pale it's almost white and my eyes, like my mom always says, look like bright diamonds. I was wearing, like the others X-men, a uniform, my hair was tied up in a high ponytail and as always I had my heart-shaped necklace, crystal with gold around it, which my dad gave to me when I born. Never since I've took it off my neck. My gift is so complicated I don´t know how to explain it. I´m a telepath too but I´m also a telekinesis, but somehow different. I can feel every molecule of each atom and I can change it any way I want. My mind is connected to every individual on this planet, it's so intense that my mom helps me control it by keeping a part hidden in my subconscious.
I'm bored, sitting here with Logan and trying to teach him how play chess is really difficult. He's trying his best and I know than he's doing this just to cheer me up, but this mission is so important and dangerous that I´m too anxious to pay attention on him.'
“I found them” Charles said
The plane was at full speed to our destination, I was so nervous I kept messing with my necklace but my mom’s send me the comfort thoughts. I have to stay positive, I have to think that everything is gonna be ok.
When the plane landed we met everyone inside the temple, Warpath jumped down from his perch and Bishop stood in front of everyone.
"Professor" Bobby called.
"Bobby" Storm grinned as he made his way over, giving her a hug.
"Hi, Storm" Bobby said.
"Hey, kid" Logan greeted.
Bobby looked over to Logan and gave him a nod before stepping back.
"Professor" Kitty called, walking with Colossus and Sunspot. "You made it"
Charles smiled at her and nodded and everyone moved into the temple. I follow behind my dad.
After sitting inside the temple for a while we start talking.
"Whenever the Sentinels attack, Warpath will spot them. And I'll send Bishop back to warn us of the attack before it happens. Blink scouts the next sight. And then we leave before they know we were there," Kitty finished.
"Because, we never were," Warpath added sitting down.
"What do you mean we were never there?" Logan asked.
"She projects Bishop back in time a few days to warn the others of the coming attack," Charles explained.
The moment she said that I knew what mom would do.
"She sends Bishop back in time-" Logan said.
"No, just his consciousness. She sends his mind back to his younger self, his younger body," Charles said.
"Wow," Logan said.
"This just might work, Charles," Erik said.
“I don´t think is a good idea” I said.
Kitty looked between them. "What might work?"
"The Sentinel program was originally conceived by Dr. Bolivar Trask. In the early seventies he was one of the world's leading weapons designers. But covertly he had begun experimenting on mutants. Using their gifts to fuel his own research. There was one mutant who had discovered what he was doing," Charles said gravely.
"A mutant, with the ability to transform herself into anyone," Erik commented.
"Mystique," Colossus guessed.
"I knew her as Raven. We met when we were children, grew up together. She was like a sister to me. I tried to help her but only succeeded in driving her away. She hunted Trask across the world and at the Paris Peace Accords in 1973 after the Vietnam War. She found Trask and killed him. It was the first time she killed," Charles stated.
"It wasn't her last," Logan added grimly. I slap him on the chest.
"But killing Trask did not have the outcome she expected," Charles continued. "It only persuaded the government of the need for his program. They captured her that day, tortured her and experimented on her. In her DNA they discovered the secrets to her powers of transformation. It gave them the key they needed to create weapons that could adapt to any mutant power. And in less than 50 years the machines that destroyed so many of our kind were created,"
"And it all started on that day in 1973. The day she first killed. They day she truly became Mystique." Charles finished.
"You wanna go back there..." Kitty stated.
"If I can get to her. Stop the assassination, keep her out of their hands. Then we can stop the Sentinels from ever being born," Charles said.
“Mom don´t” I said.
"And end this war before it ever begins," Erik said.
“Dad, you agree with her? Is too dangers” I said
“Liebe, I know you are worried but is our only hope” He said.
"I can send someone back a couple weeks, maybe even a month... But you're talking about going back decades," Kitty said. "You have the most powerful brain in the world, Professor. But the mind can only stretch so far before it snaps. It would rip you apart."
"What if someone's mind has a way of snapping back? What if someone can heal as fast as their ripped apart?" Logan asked.
“Logan” I said shocked.
Everyone was shocked in the fast place, after we agree than this is a better option, he could regenerate nothing is gonna happen to him. Many of the mutants left to take protective spots outside of the temple.
"So I wake up in my younger body, God's no where, then what?" Logan asked.
"You'll need to go to my house, and find me," Charles said. "Convince me of... All of this." He said.
"Wouldn't you be able to just read my mind?" Logan asked.
"I didn't have my powers in 1973 Logan, you're going to have to do for me what I once did for you. Lead me. Guide me. I was a very different man then."
“Why? What happed?” I said confused.
“Is a long story Sweet, we don’t have time” Charles said. He turd to Logan and said. “You'll have to be patient with me”.
"Patience isn't my strongest suit," He scoffed.
"You'll need me as well," Erik joined.
"What?" He asked a little confused.
"After Mystique left Charles, she came with me and I set her on a dangerous path... A darker path. It's going to take the two of us. Side by side at a time when we couldn't be further apart," Erik completed.
"Great” He said.
"Basically your body will go to sleep while your mind travels back in time. As long as your back there past and present will continue to coexist. But once you wake up whatever you done will take hold and becomes history and for the rest us it will be the only history we know it'll be like the last 50 years never happened. This world, this war, the only person who will remember it, is you," Kitty said.
When we was prepper his trip I realise something.
“Wait! He need someone to guide him for not lose yourself” I said.
“You are not think…” Erik said.
“I can do it” I said.
“No, never” Erik screen. “You can´t, you could hurt yourself. Charles says something”.
“I think she right” Charles said.
“What?” Erik said shocked.
“He can lose concentration and get lost” Charles said.
“This don’t mean than need to be our daughter” He said.
“Erik, listen” Charles said. “She is the most powerful telepath we know, she can do it”
“Charles…” Erik start.
“Erik, trust me” Charles interrupted. “I never let anything bad happen to her” He said without taking his eyes off each other.
“Ok”. He said reluctantly.
Logan lay on to the stone table and I sit next to him holding his hand.
"Alright Logan I need you to clear your head and stay as calm as possible," Kitty instructed.
"What? What do you mean?" Logan asked.
"If your mind gets rocky it will be harder for me to hold you. You could slip between past and future" Kitty answered.
"What if I need to get a little rocky?" Logan asked.
"Think peaceful thoughts" Kitty replied.
"Peaceful thoughts...” He said worried.
“Don’t worried, I´ll help you” I said smiling and he smiley back.
“You have any good news?" Logan asked to Kitty.
"Well, you really don't age so you'll look the same" Kitty said.
"You won't have much time in the past. The Sentinels will find us. They always do" Bobby said grimly.
"And this time we won't have anywhere to run. We'll have no escape. This is our last chance” Kitty added gravely.
"Are you sure this will work?" Erik asked to Charles.
Charles nodded. "I have faith in him and my daughter"
"It's not then I'm worried about, it's us. We were young. We didn't know any better" He said.
"We will now" He said.
Kitty placed her hands on either side of Logan's head. "This might sting a little," she warned.
Logan took a sharp breath, readying himself for whatever was to come I tried to comfort him. Logan and I screamed before entering into a state of unconsciousness.
