Hey. Guess what? Guess what this is? Its that thing you all wanted. The sequel you've been waiting for (not really since it's uploaded the same day I finished the other. Ah well). I'm sure you're all curious as to the little idea that I said no one will see coming. Just letting you know now, it's coming up in later, later chapters. So you have time to think and guess. Maybe one of you will get it.

The story, like the movie, has much darker, more serious elements to it. At least, I think it will. It may seem a bit confusing at first and there are many, many questions as to what happened between First Class and DOFP when it comes to Charles and Amaya. I promise you, it will be cleared up and everything will be explained in the chapters to come. Promise. And ElleBelleGirl, yes child, I did remember what I said about Erik and Amaya's relationship. Don't you worry ;) I gotchu. Without further a do, here's the first chapter of Change!

Disclaimer: I do not in any way own X-Men or any of the characters from that franchise or the plot of Days of Future Past save for my original characters and my own additions to the plot.

Dark, cold, and cloudy. That's how it was and has been for too long now. Running from Sentinels and battling for their lives, that's all they did now. That's all they could do until they had a plan. Kitty had sent Bishop's mind back, warning them about the Sentinel attack. Right now, they were waiting in the mountains of China, settled in a temple. Warpath was keeping an eye out for any danger, everyone else on edge.

"Are you sure they're coming?" A young man asked, indigo eyes searching the skies.

"I know they are. They'll be here, Rui."

He clicked his tongue and leaned against one of the ancient statues. They were spread throughout the front of the temple, readying themselves for their allies' arrival. He opened his mouth to say something else, but quickly shut it at the approaching lights. He watched in silence as a large plane descended, landing near the temple.

"They're here," Kitty murmured, hopping to her feet.

Bobby got up and eagerly headed to the group of people making their way over. They had attracted no attention on the way there, hidden well by the clouds. There were only four of them, not much of an addition to their fighting force, but every person counted. Warpath jumped down from his perch, Bishop standing in front of the new people.

"Professor."

"Bobby." Storm grinned as he made his way over, giving her a hug.

"Hi, Storm."

"Hey, kid."

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 before his gaze flickered over to the man standing next to her. "Rui."

"Charles." Rui nodded before glancing at the skies warily. "We'd better talk inside."

They all nodded in agreement and moved into the temple. Kitty filled them in on what they'd been up to recently, how she'd been using one of her newfound powers to send Bishop back in time to warn everyone else. It's how they stayed safe, their way out. "And we move before they ever realized we were there," she finished.

"Because, we never were," Warpath added.

"What do you mean you were never there?" Logan asked.

"She projects Bishop back in time a few days to warn the others of the coming attack," Charles explained.

"She sends Bishop back in time-"

"No, just his consciousness. She sends his mind back to his younger body."

"Wow."

"This just might work, Charles," Erik commented.

Kitty looked between them. "What might work?"

"Their plan to stop the Sentinel program before it even begins, and to change history," Rui cut in. "If you're able to send someone back, they can prevent the sequence of events that would inevitably turn into this."

Erik nodded. "Stop the war before it even begins."

"But, it's not that simple."

"Rui's right. 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."

"He may not be able to go, but Logan would be able to make the trip, wouldn't he?" Rui turned to the man. "His mind would be able to heal just as fast as it's ripped apart, thanks to his mutation."

"The squirt's right. If we can do it, I will."

Everyone looked at each other in silent agreement. This was their last chance, the only thing that they could do to change what was happening. Many of the mutants left to take protective spots outside of the temple, the only ones remaining being Bobby, Kitty, Rui, Logan, Erik, and Charles. Rui closed the door behind them while Charles and Erik prepared Logan for his journey.

"So I wake up in my younger body, then what?"

"Go to my house, and find me," Charles said. "Convince me of... All of this."

"Wouldn't you be able to just read my mind?"

"I didn't have my powers in nineteen seventy three. 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. You'll have to be patient with me."

He scoffed. "Patience isn't my strongest suit."

"You'll need me as well," Erik joined.

"What?"

"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."

"Great."

"And..."

Logan raised an eyebrow. "And?"

"And there is one more. Demon. You will need to find Demon."

"I need to find a demon."

"No, not a demon. Demon," Erik corrected.

He sighed. "Fine. Where do I find you two?"

"Well... It's complicated. I'm imprisoned, and as for Demon, I do not know."

"She'd be with us," Rui told them. "I don't remember where exactly we were, but my sister would be with me and our brother. By then, we're still in America. I know that for a fact."

"That's so helpful, squirt. You're a lot older than you look."

He smirked. "Very much so. But Maximoff will be able to help. He should know where I am, therefore where she is."

"But you will need to convince her as well," Charles stated. "Though I highly doubt she'd be agreeable to work with us, especially me..."

Rui cast the old man a sympathetic look before turning to Logan. "Whatever you do, don't piss her off. She wasn't necessarily the most easy to get along with then. If she's yelling, then it's fine. If she's strangely calm, get me or my brother to keep her at bay."

"A mutant named Demon. This should be easy." Logan rolled onto the stone table as Kitty told him what would happen.

Rui moved to where Charles and Erik were and leaned against one of the pillars.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Charles asked him.

"Her and Raven were sisters. She'll be able to help our cause. On top of that, you two will be able to resolve, or at least attempt to resolve, what happened between you two."

"She won't cooperate if I'm there."

"She'll need to deal with it. No matter how stubborn she is and how cold she may seem, she'd do anything for anyone she loves. That includes you. I know you still miss her, and she still missed you right up to the day she died. If things go well, she'll live a longer life and you two will be able to live the lives you'd wanted." He sighed. "I know how my sister felt about you, Charles. It was obvious from how she ranted about you and cursed you. Especially the fact that she kept the necklace you gave her even though she claimed to have hated you so much."

Charles cracked a smile at that as Erik chuckled. That did sound like her.

Rui kicked off of the pillar and moved beside Kitty. "Send him back a few days before the event in France. Make sure they have enough time."

"Are you sure this will work?" Erik asked.

Charles nodded. "I have faith in him."

"It's not him I'm worried about, it's us. We were young. We didn't know any better."

"We will now."

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. He was their only shot. He couldn't screw up. Find Charles. Find Erik. Find Demon. Find Raven. How simple it seemed when said like that.

Did anyone think it was gonna start like that? It's kinda obvious who Rui is. Which is good. Needed to put that out there because Rui. Think he's the older or younger brother? I didn't mention that in the previous story, did I? I'm pretty sure I never mentioned her brother's names... at least I think I didn't. And any guesses as to what his power is? Tell me what you think, guys! Any predictions between what happened between her and Charles? Ohohoho, so curious. So very curious. Don't forget to review! I love hearing what you're thinkin'.
