The future knocked lightly at the door
I was on my bed trying not to think about anything. When I started to hear a noise in the hallway. So I snorted and went to see what was going down the stairs I found Hank hanging from the chandelier threatening some man.
"-Hank? What's going on?"
"-Professor?"-the stranger asked confused.
"-Do not call me like that." - I asked.
"-You know this guy?" - Hank asked.
"-Yeah. He looks familiar to me. Get down from the chandelier, Hank."-he did.
"-Can you walk?"- the stranger said.
" -You are an observer."
" -I thought Erik..."- he started again.
"-What baffles me, you didn't see the sign on the gate. This property is private. So I'm going to ask him to ask you out. "-he said, sitting on the step.
" -Look, unfortunately I can't do that. Because they sent me after you."
"-Tell whoever sent it that I'm busy."
" -This is going to be complicated. Because who sent me... was you."
" -What?"
" -In about 50 years."
I started to laugh.
"-I know, pay attention..." - he tried.
" -50 years from now. 50 years in the future?"
"-IT'S."
" -I sent you from the future."
"-Yes."
"-As if..."
" -If you had your powers you'd know it's true."
" -How do you know I'm not with mine... Who are you?"
" -Already said."
" -Are you from the CIA?"
"-Not."
" -Spy?"
"-I know you. We've been friends for years. I know you gained your powers at 9. He thought he was crazy when he heard the voices in his head. And only at twelve, did he realize that the voices were coming from the heads of others. He wants me to continue. ?"
I shivered.
"-I never told anyone."
"-It hasn't told you yet but it will."
"-It piqued my interest. What do you want?"
"-We have to stop Raven. I need help. We all do."
" -I think I want to wake up now. " - I said getting up and heading to the office.
Where the CIA intruder was probably trying to convince us.
" -Are you saying they took Raven's power and what? Militarized?"
"-Yes."
"-Yeah, she's unique. "-Hank said I know well his feelings for her.
"-She is, Hank. "-I agreed, going to a sofa.
"In the beginning, the Sentinels only attacked mutants. Then they began to identify genes in non-mutants who would have mutant children or grandchildren. Many humans tried to help us. It was a massacre. Putting the worst in the world in control. I've been in many wars. I've never seen anything like it."
"-Let's say that...by chance, I decide to believe you, that I decide to help you. Raven doesn't listen to me. Her heart and soul belong to someone else. "-I said regretfully.
" -I know. That's why we're going to need Magneto too."
"-Erik? Nobody knows where he is." - Hank said.
"-But I know."
I started laughing again.
" -Do you want to ask a murderer for help? You can repeat that for me."
"-Did you hear me."
I got up and walked towards the stairs. "You're crazy."
" -Will give up?" he asked, disappointed.
" -Congratulations! As I said, you are very observant."
" -The Professor I know would never turn his back on someone who lost his way, especially someone he loved."
I turned towards him.
"-You know I think I remember you now. Yeah, tall, angry and dodgy hairstyle. We came to you a long time ago for help. I'll tell you what you told us at the time. Fuck you!"
"-Listen, idiot!"-he grabbed me by the robe. "-I came from far away and saw many people die. Good people. Friends. If you're going to be whining and not doing anything, you'll see the same things, understand? "-he let go of me.
" -Everyone will die someday." - I said and went upstairs.

In my room, I thought about the offer to bring my sister back, and I also remembered the moment I met her.
" -My name is Charles Xavier."
"-Raven."
" -She's hungry and alone. Take whatever you want. There's plenty of food. No need to steal. In fact, you'll never need to steal again. It's a promise."
A promise. For her then.
I went back down to the first floor, where I found Hank and the stranger still in the office.
"-I'll help get to her. Not for her lie than the future but for her."
" -That's enough."
" -But you don't know Erik. The man is a monster, a murderer. Do you think you can bring Raven to change, to come home? Splendid! But why do you think you can change him?"
"-Because you and Erik sent me here together."
I don't know what to make of that.
" -Very well...I'm in."
"-OK, get dressed and I met in the car we're going to Canada."
