Future
After Kitty struggles to keep Logan's mind in the past, I had the chance of telling them what caused it and for me to see in that moment, the younger me had a chance to glimpse into our future. It was a relief when I noticed she had only seen when Logan got his adamantium skeleton and claws and this part of the future we're currently living and wasn't too close to Logan to experience his past, our past.
I'm snapped back from my thoughts by Bobby's panicked scream. After all the commotion I had forgotten Logan hurt Kitty
"Oh, my God! Kitty! She's wounded pretty bad"
She struggles for a few more seconds and then Logan relaxes, I get glimpse of the man who had cause Logan to collapse (I'm starting to think that was Stryker) has gotten up and taken the teaser off his body. Logan's conscience back in time returns safely back into his younger-self.
Kitty and I sighed in relief; she exchanges a small smile with me before looking up at the Professor and Magneto
"I got him" She told us. The rest sighs in relief, looking down at a sleeping Logan

Blair looks at Logan closely seeing when the man they know would return. She hears commotion from behind Logan and sees the soldier taking off the teaser from his body and turning away to the door, glancing barely at Logan's claws.
As soon as the man is out, Blair senses the Logan they know returning. She sighs in relief when there's a flicker of recognition on Logan's eyes as he meets Charles's
"Professor?"
"What happened to you?" Charles asks relieved that the man has returned, ignoring the pang of sadness by hearing him call him Professor, he hasn't been one in a while.
"I just saw someone who's going to bring me a lot of pain someday" he answered distractedly. Blair looked at him with knowing realization. Was the soldier the one who place that kind of metal inside him in his future? Blair thought to herself sadly. How humans were capable of doing such harm. She didn't want to think about it "Where's Raven?" Logan changed the subject. Charles sighed in defeat
"Gone"
"What?" Logan snapped his head towards them wide eyed. Blair shrugged, widening her eyes flinching, seeing the future. She shook her head and looked at them desperately
"We have to get out of here!" She then runs out of the room, Logan following her knowing she had seen someone coming and attacking them for being mutants. He knew her expressions when she had an unexpected vision. Charles followed behind quickly

The four remaining mutants returned to Charles' mansion, once a school for young mutants. Blair looked at the mansion wide eyed in awe.
They entered the mansion. And as soon as they stepped inside, Charles suddenly falls down.
"What happened?" Logan asks as hank and Blair helps Charles to his feet. Blair using her powers to stabilize him on his feet
"Why can't he walk?" Logan asked
"He needs his treatment" Hank answered not looking at anyone but Charles. Charles as he loses his ability to walk, he then starts regaining his telepathic powers
"It's okay, I'll make it stop. I'll get it" Charles says. Hank looks up at Blair and she gives a reassuring nod, Hank then runs up the stairs to get the injection, while Blair still holds Charles with her powers. He isn't heavy for her but she manages to struggle a little. After all, a person is completely different than holding an object.
Charles looks in deep distress, Blair touches his hand, he then suddenly jerks it away not being able to withstand all of her thoughts, either positive or not positive
"Hey, hey, pull yourself together. It's not over yet" Logan tells him as Blair carefully sits him on the stairs
Charles looks at Logan intensely as if reading his mind "You don't believe that"
Logan frowns in confusion "How do you know?"
Charles breathing heavily from the weight of all minds around him points to his legs "As these go..." he the points to his head "...this comes back. They all come back!" Blair looks at him sympathetically, finally recognizing his pain.
But not because she knows it.
She accidentally got a glimpse of a young Charles when he first discovered his powers when she touched him.
Something that weirder her out. She had only been able to see the future, but now the past?
"Look, I'm...I'm still here. She's still out there. But we need your help, Charles. Not like this, I need you. We can't find Raven, not without your powers" Logan told him as Hank returns with the injection that would return his legs, but his telepathy would be gone
"I added a little extra cause you missed a dose" He says giving the needle to Charles, who raises his sleeve about to inject himself when Logan speaks
"Charles" Logan warns softly. Charles looks at Logan and glances at the quiet brunette. She isn't looking at anyone, she looks lost in thought. Her thoughts filling his head making him realize she's not as cheerful and optimist as she makes everyone to believe, besides of her sudden new found out ability. He shakes his head and just as he's about to inject himself he decides against it and puts the injection down. The sound of the needle on the floor brings back Blair from dreamland
"Hank, do me a favor. Would you help me to my study, please?" Charles asked
"Alright" Hank helps Charles walk over to his study, he then opens the closet door "Are you sure about this?"
"Absolutely not"
They look at Charles' wheelchair.
