Scene 11
Xavier Manor
They are all stunned by Charles' mansion-Erick
"Honestly Charles how ever did you manage in such poor conditions?"
Charles smiles
"Its been awhile sense I been here-Come lets get settled in-Hank we have work to do!"
Charles, Erick, and Hank redesign the Cerebro-then Charles takes the two men down stairs to the underground bunker
Hank smiles
"This is perfect for Cerebro and with Erick's help we can build it quickly."
Erick narrows his eyes looking at Charles
"Why do have an underground bunker?"
Charles smiles
"My father was scientist-he helped design the delivery system for the Atom bomb-He believed that no matter who was first to building it-Every country in the world would one day have nuclear capability to some degree."
Hank is with Charles and they give Scott an optic visor
There is a tactical display in red
"This will allow you to control your power and the visual scanner is controlled by your eye movements-You can control how much energy you release from the device-Give it a whirl."
Everyone is watching when Scott shoots his optic blast for the first time-He blasts the pool house
Erick
"I don't think its a good idea to do that out here."
Charles smiles
"Your right they need a reinforced room where they can unleash their full power." They stood around a drawing of a obstacle course/gymnasium/training room
Bobby
"What is it?"
Charles smiles
"I call it the Danger Room-It will be built to test your abilities to their fullest."
They remove all the furniture from the ball room and align the walls with steal they took from the bunker.
"The Danger room will be two levels-For speed and height-The more room we have the more traps we put in it-Later on we will tare out the floor."
Warren
"Traps!"
Hank presents Sean with an arm wing harness
Charles
"Your voice is powerful and I believe that if you let go you can achieve flight."
Sean looks at Hank
"Is this thing going to work?"
Hank
"It should!"
Sean
"What do you mean it should?"
Moira kisses Sean
"Well at least we are not too high."
Sean sighs
"Here I go."
He jumps out the window and hits the ground
Hank
"Personally I would have yelled just a little louder."
Charles is pointing a gun at Erick-He shakes his head
"No I can't do it-I can't shoot my best friend."
Erick
"Come on! Your the one always telling me to push myself-I can deflect it!"
Charles
"Well your not challenging yourself if you know you can deflect it-I have a better idea."
He points at the huge antenna dish in the distance
"There you go-move that!"
Erick
"Its too big!"
Charles
"What happened to the man who tried to stop a sub-marine. You have the power do it."
Erick pointed his hand, but nothing happened
"I can't I need the anger-Its not there!"
Charles smiles
"Anger isn't the key to your power Erick-Neither is rage-Its a small part of it-There is a power in you that will only be awakened when you find a place between rage and peace-May I?"
Charles touches his tempo with two fingers and enters Erick's mind showing him memories of his mother-A birthday long ago when she baked him a cake-All the kind words she ever told him-And all the love both his parents had for him despite the fact he was different
Erick was teary eyed
"How did you do that?"
Charles
"I accessed the most beautiful part of your memory system and brought it forth-Shaw may have tried to create a monster-But you can change-He hasn't driven all the good from you my friend-Now-move the dish."
Erick pointed his hand at the dish and he felt an eruption inside-an eruption unlike any he has felt before-The dish began to move-They both smiled
Charles
"Well done!"
Charles and Hank are walking around the mansion to run
"Hank I know you have issues with what you are becoming-but you need to make peace with it."
Hank
"That's easy for you to say-You have normal feet and you won't grow blue fur."
Charles
"Hank if you see yourself as an animal then others will see you that way. Now shoes off-Remember you control the beast within-It does not control you. Shall we begin?"
Hank sighs as he removes his shoes
"Okay!"
They run and Hank passes him up and runs around the mansion before Charles can reach the garage
Charles
"Well done!"
Hank smiles and leaps from the ground to the roof of the mansion-six stories up-He flips off the roof-catches the light pole spins around and lands in front of Charles. But his mood changes when he sees Jean with Scott. Charles sighs as he walks off
Russia
Shaw and the General watch the military march-Then they go inside his office from the balcony
"So general-What will you do about the Americans-Their missiles are in Turkey-If you place your missiles in Cuba you can avoid the American early warning net."
General
"Mr. Shaw I must tell you what I told Miss Frost-I can't discuss policy with you."
Shaw sneers
"Maybe I didn't make myself clear-You will recommend to Leaders that they place their missiles in Cuba."
General just smiles
"Perhaps you would care to repeat that to KGB!"
As he picks up the phone and dials Azeezal appears in front the General holding hands with Pixie, Mystique, and Typhoon. He is dumbfounded as he puts the phone down
"No I will call you back!"
Russian Military council
General
"Comrades war is on us! The Americans have placed their missiles in Turkey-I say we place ours in Cuba."
They all clap
Pentagon
General
"A Russian tanker carrying nuclear missiles has left Siberia-Now I say we block Cuba with the entire Atlantic Fleet."
Colonel
"And what if that ship crosses that line?"
General
"Then God help us all!"
Xavier Mansion
They are all watching the news on the Russian-America missile crises and stores being overrun as people panic to stock up on supplies in case of a Nuclear missile strike
