We Can Only Wait

Wolverine heard Xavier's thought-speak in his head, "Logan, please leave."

He sounded panicked and Logan scowled, "Chuck, I think it's best if I stay here."

"Leave now!" Xavier snapped.

Charles Xavier was known as a patient and fair man, so when he started shouting you did what he said.

"I'll be just outside. Shout if there's any trouble." Logan said.

As soon as the door had shut behind him Xavier quickly turned back to the pale young boy.

"So," Xavier muttered sadly, "my visions were true?"

"Yes." Nero replied.

"Then, Jean destroys us all?" Xavier said. He suddenly realised that if Jean was responsible and this boy had come back, that meant.

"If you have come here to kill her, I won't let you!" Xavier said angrily.

"No." Nero said, "It's not Jean's fault."

Now it was Xavier's turn to frown, "Then what does happen?"

Nero sighed, "It is a long, long story."

"I need to hear it." Xavier said.

Nero nodded sadly; staring at the floor he told his story:

"Bolivar Trask managed to escape S.H.I.E.L.D. custody and continue his Sentinel program in secret. He created Master Mold, the X-men defeated him, but, Bolivar escaped again, using the remains of Master Mold he created Nimrod, the ultimate Sentinel. Bolivar sent it after us; we would have won too, if it weren't for Bastion."

"I've had visions of this Nimrod, but, what's Bastion?" Xavier asked.

"He's was a very advanced sentinel, he disguised himself as a human and tricked the public into blaming us for the Phoenix incident. They stormed the mansion, killing everyone; those that were left were eliminated by Bastion and Nimrod. Only thirteen of us got away and joined Evan and the Morlocks. It was then that Nimrod made the final attack against humanity, the Sentinels discovered that the mutant-gene was dormant in every member of humanity, so, to eradicate it forever…"

"The Sentinels killed everyone on the planet." Xavier said.

Nero nodded quietly.

They sat in shocked silence. Xavier taking in everything he'd been told. He finally managed to recover and looked at the boy with pity, the things he'd had to witness.

"Then why are you here?" Xavier asked.

"That's my business." Nero said.

"So," Xavier said formally, "What do you propose we do?"

Nero thought for a while before saying, "Introduce me as a new student, I'll fit in as best I can and when the time is right, I'll do what needs to be done."

"But, what needs to be done?" Xavier said.

Nero sighed; he seemed distant, relieving the horror.

"I need you to understand Professor. This was our last chance, we're not entirely sure if we even can change anything." He explained.

"Well then what do we do first?" Xavier asked.

Nero looked up at the Professor and said, "We wait."
