Part One<\/a><\/p>\n

Part Sixteen<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

“Charles do not argue with me!” \u00a0Erik glared down at him. “You aren’t the General, Logan here knows, leave this to those of us who know what we’re doing. \u00a0And if we do this right you never have to think this way, and can be happy surrounded by kids reading them <\/span>The Once and Future King<\/span><\/i>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“God, I love you.” \u00a0Charles gave him a sappy look, filled with devotion.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Geeze do they ever stop?” Logan looked at Hank, who shook his head smiling. \u00a0“So what’s your plan bub.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Irony, it’s the kids plan.” \u00a0Erik gave Hank the side eye. “We know Trask is going to showcase his Sentinels off at a Press Conference in DC, which there is no way Mystique is missing out on that opportunity. \u00a0Hell, I wouldn’t pass it up.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“At this moment we know the Sentinels have metal running through them, thanks to Erik and Azazel’s trip to Texas.” \u00a0Hank added to the conversation. “This is a good thing, if Trask new what Erik’s Mutation actual was, they would’ve likely be plastic or some other material.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Can you control them?” \u00a0Logan asked impressed.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Five will be rough, but I’m stubborn.” \u00a0Erik smirked at him. “You, Charles, and Hank are heading to DC via private jet. \u00a0Charles I need you to find Mystique as fast a possible \u2026 if you can take her out.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“I will do what’s necessary, but I still hold onto hope that we can all walk away.” \u00a0Charles gave him a half smile. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Logan – if he has a hair out of place. \u00a0I’ll hunt you down.” Erik gave him a glare that would send most people screaming for the hills. Logan shrugged, he had his mind swept by The Professor and right now he didn’t have a metal frame Erik could fuck with.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Alex and Darwin, are with me. \u00a0We’ll be showing off your X-Men Charles. \u00a0I can’t believe I’m actually wearing this\u2026”<\/span><\/p>\n

“At least it’s not yellow this time.” \u00a0Alex pointed out, with a smile. The all black sleek look was much nicer, than the original concept.<\/span><\/p>\n

“How are you getting there?” \u00a0Logan asked.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Azazel Air.” \u00a0Erik nodded towards his friend, who gave a salute and waved his tail. \u00a0“Charles will let us know the exact moment we should show up. Here’s the thing. \u00a0We need to save the humans, make sure they understand who stood between them and the Sentinels. \u00a0We all know they are going to do exactly what Trask designed them to do, the problem is there are a lot of Mutants hiding in plain sight. \u00a0If these things start attacking children.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Trask looks like the bad guy.” \u00a0Hank glanced at Erik, the two had discussed options before everyone had gotten up. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It had been a habit they started years previously, both being early risers. \u00a0One day Erik had found Hank wandering the halls, he grabbed him and forced him into a morning run, afterwards they sat with coffee to discuss building works, Cerebro, and other new techs. \u00a0Years later they still followed the same routine. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hank and Erik’s adventure in Paris scared people, but if they became more scared of the government, the sentinels – they had a chance. \u00a0“We need to make him look like the bad guy, just not for ourselves, but for the world. It’s the only way the government isn’t going to take up his idea and run with it. \u00a0If it looks like they can’t handle the Sentinels, that they are seen attacking children \u2026 they’ll shut Trask down.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Sean is staying behind to make sure the two kids don’t do anything stupid.” \u00a0Azazel and Erik stared hard at Kurt and Peter. Then back to Sean … “I’ll hold you responsible.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Dude if they out smart me, which they will, it’s your genetics not mine.” \u00a0Sean held his hands up in defense. “We’re your back up plan, if it all goes to shit.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Both kids gave everyone the most innocent looks.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This is going to go shit.” \u00a0Erik sighed, pinching his nose trying to stop the headache. \u00a0His hand was pulled down. Without even having to open his eyes he knew it was Charles, he felt his calming influence. “For the continued existence of this world, don’t die on me Charles.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“I can say the same thing to you.” \u00a0He pulled him down for a kiss. <<By the way you look hot in that outfit.>><\/span><\/p>\n

<<After this is all over you can literally peel me out of it. \u00a0Hank made them a bit tight!>><\/span><\/p>\n

<<Your ass alone will be enough to convince humans to like us.>><\/span><\/p>\n

<<Are you pimping me out.>><\/span><\/p>\n

Charles chuckled and kissed him one more time, then stepped back. \u00a0“Okay let’s get this show on the road. No one get dead. Or shot.” \u00a0He hugged Alex and Darwin. “Please stay safe.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’ll protect dad.” \u00a0Alex assured him, making Charles smile.<\/span><\/p>\n

“If something comes up, I’ll go straight into your head to talk to you. \u00a0Don’t be alarmed by it.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’re good with it.” \u00a0Darwin shrugged. “You can’t advocate for Mutant Rights if deny someone else the use of their mutation. \u00a0I never understood how we can fight for equality for blacks, but not latinos. Or fight for women’s rights, but not for the queer community. \u00a0It’s all or nothing.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Says a very wise man.” \u00a0He gave them a salute then made his way to the car. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As Hank drove out of the school, Logan looked back studying it intently. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“What are you hoping for?” Charles asked.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m hoping to keep this in my mind, to remember it’s home.” \u00a0Logan looked at him through the rearview mirror. “My life won’t get better for a while, not until I find you. \u00a0I can’t wait to meet you back in the future.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“We could save you,” Hank suggested.<\/span><\/p>\n

“No.” \u00a0Charles turned in the seat looking at him with shock. \u00a0“You were right, back in Paris. The man who is sitting here \u2026 to be him I need to go through some shit. \u00a0The idea that I’ll be going home to a better future, makes what I’ll go through worth it.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Your a good man, Logan.” \u00a0Charles gave him a grin. “Despite the asshole we met the first time.” <\/span><\/p>\n

“Well your boyfriend slammed me into a wall!” He pointed out, with a slight disgruntled smirk.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We actually met once before, you told us to go Fuck ourselves.” \u00a0Charles gave him a wicked smirk. “It was good advice.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Logan laughed loud and open. “I’m the cause of this lovey dovey bullshit?”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Maybe.” \u00a0He turned back in his seat, enjoying Hank’s questioning looks and Logan’s unbelievable stare. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What he won’t tell them, was that they had started their relationship soon after meeting Angel, Charles couldn’t get the idea out of his head of Erik in fishnet stockings, and he kept staring at his legs, which caught Erik’s attention. \u00a0The man had no shame, so next time he came out of the shower, he dropped the towel and let Charles have as much as he wanted. He was on his knees in front of him so fast, it was embarrassing, the man had a cock that was made for worshiping.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
