Chapter Two:
As Logan pulled up to the large run down mansion ignoring the 'Private Property: Keep Out' Lucy just stared at the sight in front of her.
"This is where your friend lives?" she asked as Logan parked the car
"Yeah, it doesn't look like this when I knew it" Logan responded to the girl "Stay in the car"
"I thought you wanted me to help you"
"Just wait here until I come and get you"
"Alright" Lucy sighed before leaning forward and fiddling with the stereo as the burly man walked to the school. After a while she heard voices in her head coming from the people inside the building.
'If what this man says is true?'
'How is that possible?'
'He needs to leave'
'How does he know all this? Can he be a spy for the CIA?'
'This man is a lunatic'
'If he can save Raven'
'Why does he wish to save Erik'
"What did you say to them Logan?" Lucy mumbled under her breath before getting out of the car and heading into the school "What he's saying is true"
The two men turned to the female brunette standing in the study behind them, Hank looked confused to who she was and Logan stared at her
"I thought I told you to stay in the car Cindi" Logan told her as she tilted her head in confusion
"I'm sorry… who are you?" Hank asked from lounging on the
"Lucinda Granger, I take it you are Hank McCoy"
"Cindi, why'd you come inside?" Logan interrupted
"You boys were arguing so much, your thoughts were projecting really loudly"
"Our thoughts?" Hank asked confused "You're a telepath?"
"Correct" Lucy smiled "Logan wanted me to come and help convince you he's telling the truth, though I'm not sure how leaving me in the car helps that plan"
"Cindi" Logan began but was interrupted by Charles coming back down stairs.
"I'll help you get her, not for your any of your future shite or whatever, but for her" Charles said as he leaned against the table in the foyer. "I'll tell you this you don't know Erik. That man is a monster, a murderer. You think you can convince Raven to change, to come home that's splendid. But what makes you think you can change him?"
"Because you and Erik sent me back here together"
"So is everyone on the same page here?" Lucy asked once the men had calmed down
"I'm sorry you are?" Charles asked, not remembering there being a teenage girl in the mansion before.
"Lucy. Friend of Logan's"
"You from the future as well?"
"Not that I know of" Lucy smiled at the man Logan wished to save
"So we just need to Erik then" Logan spoke up
"That's going to be a problem" Hank said as he started looking for a document in the messy study "The room their holding him in was built in the Second World War when there was a shortage of steel, so the foundation is pure concrete and sand. No metal"
"He's being held a hundred floors below the most heavily guarded building on the planet" Charles said as Hank laid out a blueprint of the Pentagon on the table
"Why's he in there?" Logan asked as Lucy picked up on the thoughts from the other two in the room
"He killed the JFK?" Lucy asked before turning to Logan "Are you sure we need this guy to stop your future from happening?"
"He killed the president?" the timetraveller questioned
"He forgot to mention that I take it" Charles laughed "What else explains a bullet miraculously curving through the air. Erik's always had a way with guns. You sure you want to continue with this?"
"This is your plan, not mine"
"We don't have any resources to get us in" Hank said being the most logical and rational thinking mutant in the room.
"Or out" Charles interjected, still not liking the idea of breaking his enemy out of prison "It's just me and Hank"
"I know a man. He'd be a young man now. Grew up outside of DC, he could get into anywhere. Just don't know how we're going to find him" Logan chuckled remembering the trouble causing speedster.
"Is Cerebro out of the question?" Hank looked at the Professor who just looked down "We have a phone book"
"Cindi can you go get it" Logan asked the female telepath "I need to ask Hank some questions"
"Alright, where do you keep the phonebook?" Lucy asked the glasses wearing teen.
"Under the stairs" Hank responded and added when seeing the look given to him by the dark haired girl "We don't really have a reason to call people"
"You boys are lucky I'm not claustrophobic"
"What did you want to talk about?" Hank asked the Wolverine as Lucy disappeared under the staircases, Charles just continued to lean against the table
"Once this is over I want you to watch over Cindi" Logan said staring the kid straight in the eyes
"Why do you call her Cindi?" Charles cut in "She introduced herself as Lucy"
"Logan called me that in the future" Lucy said coming out with a phonebook in her arms "He calls me Cindi because that's what he knew me as"
"You need to stop reading my mind" Logan ground out
"Still learning to control it" Lucy smiled as she dropped the book onto the table with a loud thud "So who am I looking for?"
"Peter Maximoff"
