Clara watched as Hank sped them closer and closer to Cairo, the speed nearly pushed her back in her seat. She couldn't help but think if it would come to the point where she would have to fight off Erik in order to get to Charles. Her stomach turned in a knot as she deeply inhaled, wondering if she was strong enough to defeat him. It wasn't that she didn't have faith in her abilities, she mostly didn't have faith within her own heart. Seeing him back in the halls of Cerebro had cost Scott's brother his life and knowing if she hesitates again, she could lose Charles' as well.

A tear ran down her cheek as she knew, even after all these years of him leaving her, she still loved him. Everytime he did it back in the brotherhood, she kind of knew he would come back eventually and he would. It was almost trained within them to constantly be wrapped up in lust before pushing each other away once more. Clara even knew when she was hiding in Poland that eventually Erik would find his way back to her.

This time she wasn't so sure because it wasn't an act of lust that would be driving him back to her. The madness of Apocalypse was now forcing them to take on different sides which she feared the most. Clara knew in her heart that she wouldn't be able to kill him even if she tried.

Clara swallowed as she straightened herself up in the co-pilot seat and continued to focus in on her job. She didn't want to think too far into the future and at all of the negative outcomes that could possibly happen.

Beast turned to her, "You alright? You look like you're about to puke"

"Just worried about the future" Clara said before she gave off a dry laugh, "I can't believe those words even came out of my mouth. I could just look into the future and see how this all ends but I can't. I'm actually terrified of what is to come. I don't want my gift to spoil my focus on our mission"

Beast nodded as they neared Cairo which seemed to be in a big dust storm as Hank just went right through it to reveal nearly everything was floating in the air surrounding the pyramids.

"Seventh wonder, twelve o'clock" Beast informed.

Jean spoke from the back, "He has the Professor in the center of the pyramid. He's going to transfer his consciousness into the Professor. If he does that he'll have the power to control every mind in the world"

"What the hell is that?" Moira asked as Beast turned the plane around to reveal a larger than life magnetic field.

Clara swallowed, "It's Erik"

"Huh?" Peter said, suddenly in between Beast and Clara.

Raven looked down to Clara, asking a hidden question in which Clara shook her head no to before she turned to the kids, "You guys help Nightcrawler get into the pyramid, get Charles, I'll take care of Erik"

Beast nodded over to the metal flying around him, "How are you gonna get through that?"

Peter turned to Raven, "I can get you in there. I came here for him, let me help you"

"The rest of you, get Charles on this plane and get him out of here" Raven demanded.

"We're not leaving without you!" Nightcrawler argued.

"Don't worry, we'll catch up" Peter told him.

Clara called over her shoulder, "Hold on"

Beast descended the jet plane down as everything shook as he leaned them down in an angle. Clara scouted out for a perfect place to land but found it difficult from all of the debris everywhere. Hank nodded off to the right as a lopsided hill near an almost destroyed building. Clara gave off a slight shrug and nodded as it was as good as any kind of landing site before everyone filed outside.

Raven instructed, "Hank, Clara, you guys go with the kids and Moira will be waiting on the plane"

Scott cut in, "Wait"

Raven turned to him, "What?"

"Not all of us can fully control our powers" Scott confessed.

"Then don't" Raven told him, "You need to embrace them, we all do"

Raven changed into her blue form as she watched the light and courage come back into the kid's eyes. Peter walked up beside her and almost the second he touched her, they were both gone.

Clara nodded, "Let's go! Keep your eyes peeled, there were four mutants with Apocalypse. More than likely they already know we're here"

Hank motioned for everyone to join him near a corner building, "There's an entrance, it's clear"

She looked up just in time to see a winged mutant flying down to them.

"Kurt! Get in there!"

Kurt teleported out from right next to her as Clara looked up just as the winged man shot out blades from his wings. Jean gasped as she brought up a few bricks to block them from hitting her.

She craned her head as she noticed the mutant saw Kurt teleport to the entrance. She quickly jumped over the barrier and sent a fireball hurling to the man. Angel spun away with barely anytime left between him and her flame.

Clara swirled her hand and summoned a big wave of a flame and sent it crashing into the man. He flew up higher but Clara waved out her hand and strained as she made the fire chase after him before it hit him near the knees. She heard the man call out in pain before she saw something silver fling out and toward her direction. Before she could figure out what it was, the blade pierced into her leg at maximum speed.

Clara let out a scream as she went crashing down to the ground, cradling her leg. She could hear a scream from the distance as she looked up to see Jean being held back by Scott. A roar was sounded above her as Beast jumped down next to her fallen body and without hesitation, ripped out the blade from her leg. Clara let out a scream in agony as she tried her best to concentrate on summoning up her fire power. The second she saw it dancing on her hands she slammed it down to her wound where she felt a nice sunshine feeling of warmth as her flames healed her wound.

"Jesus! Could you try to be a little bit more gentle next time" Clara asked as he pulled her up.

Beast said back, "A little thank you would've been better"

Lightning struck as Clara looked in front of her to see the female mutant with a white mohawk land in front of the kids. She gasped as she watched the woman send a car over to Jean and Scott.

Clara ran off as she watched Scott and Jean duck in time. Clara dropped down to the ground with only seconds to spare from the flying car. She glanced back in time to see Beast grab onto the car and hurl it back over to the woman.

Clara looked up and around for the angel mutant that she had a quarrel with earlier but couldn't see him. A glint of a wing made her look to the left before she noticed he was flying back into the building, most likely going after Kurt. Clara cursed to herself as she glanced around for a clear passage to run into the pyramid. She took off to the right as she jumped over bricks and to the main passage as she noticed the final mutant landing in front of Jean, Scott, and Hank.

Clara turned around and caught Hank's eye as he nodded to the side before running to join the kids. She turned back around and sent out a fireball toward the entrance. The man was about to go through when a wall of fire was summoned up, making him quickly fly back. He turned back around and looked at the ground until he locked eyes with Clara. She gave him a wicked look before she waved out her hand and sent a whip like flame in his direction.

This time the Angel was ready as he flew towards it but the shielded himself with his wings and spun around. The flames didn't touch him as he sent off blades toward Clara once again. Clara leaped and rolled out of the way just in time as she got closer to the entrance.

She also noticed that with each passing second she wasted fighting with him, the angel mutant still tried to make his way back to the pyramid. She growled in frustration as she sent more fire in his direction, trying to hold him off for as long as she could. Clara turned and tried to do the same as she ran over to the floor entrance but stopped when silver blades flung dangerously close to her. Clara looked up just in time to see the man swoop down to tackle her to the ground.

Clara grunted as the man grabbed onto her and flew her high into the sky. She knew that if he got high enough, he could drop her and she would be killed instantly. Clara grunted as she threw a punch into the man's face making him grunt but still hold her tight. In a desperate attempt, she let out a scream and covered herself in a body of fire. The man let out a cry from her flames and dropped her down to the ground.

Clara squinted her eyes close as she felt herself connect to the ground, breaking a few bones but since her flames were already around her, it instantly healed themselves. She let out a sigh of relief as she let the fire die down before jumping to her feet. She cursed to herself as she noticed the angel mutant had flown into the pyramid. Clara moved to run into the entrance when a flash of silver appeared and Peter stopped her.

Peter rushed out, "Mystique can't get him to listen"

"Then make him listen!" Clara tried to move around him.

Peter grabbed onto her arm, "You don't get it, do you? He doesn't want to listen to her… but he'll listen to you"

Clara turned and looked up to the pyramid where she had lost her opponent, now probably on his way to find Nightcrawler. Lightning ripped the sky as she looked over to the other mutant splitting up the group as Beast took on another woman. Clara nervously bit her lip as she knew her fight was here but at the cost of lives, Erik most likely killed thousands already. She turned back to Peter who had a pleading look on his face, glancing back every once in awhile to where Erik was. Clara finally reluctantly nodded and straightened herself up.

"Take me to him"
