"Kitty!" Havok ran to me. "Come on!" He extended a hand. He looked so much older than he was. He didn't deserve this. But it was too late. Nothing could stop him now.
I grabbed hold of his hand and he yanked me up. I staggered, but he put a steadying arm on my shoulder.
My communicator beeped. "The tops are gone", I let everyone know. Inspiration hit.
"Go for the bases", I cried into it, then I pulled Havok around and pointed to the pyramid.
The stone that had lasted ages was going to fall to teenagers, I thought manically.
Havok caught it. "Let's go!" he sounded brave. He took my hand and pulled me closer to the battle. The Scarlet Witch was trying to hit her father, and Sunspot was furiously trying to defeat the resurrected "Sentinels".
"Wait!" I pulled on his hand, phasing partway through the ground. "I have a better idea!"
Havok looked at me like I was insane, but gave in quickly. I took a breath and submerged into the ground, Havok following.
I judged the distance and pulled my head above ground. I grinned. Perfect.
I grabbed Havok's shoulders and pulled him up with me.
"That is screwed up", I heard him mutter under his breath.
I didn't have time to say anything back to him. Magneto's back was turned.
I jerked him the rest of the way up. "Now!" I cried to him. Raw power burned between his hands. He concentrated it on the ancient barrier. I watched as the walls fell, ready to make a quick escape.
But it was too late. Magneto turned, eyes glowing. He flung a piece of a "sentinel" at us. Before I could phase, Havok was thrown out of grip.
"Alex!" I screamed, watching him land on the hard ground. It should have been me. I should have taken the fall. I glared at Magneto, ready to phase, but was bombarded with metal. Destroyed "Sentinals" and the jet. I went down again, and saw everything as I knew it, end.
