"Peter, Aurora thank you both very, very much." Charles thanks. "You take care."
"Hey, I saw your flight plan in the cockpit. Why are you going to Paris?" Peter asks.
"To find an old friend and my fiance." Charles.
"Oh." Peter replies not having excpected such a straight forward answers.
"Well... good luck. I hope you find them." Aurora replies.
"Do me a favor and return it for me." Charles asks tossing Peter and Aurora the keys to the car.
"Okay." Peter and Aurora reply.
"And, Peter? Take it slow." Charles adds getting a chuckle from Peter.
Meanwhile on the plane Erik goes to take the newspaper in front of Logan when Logan uses his claws to hold onto the paper.
"Imagine if they were metal." Erik says making his way over to an empty seat. " Where did they dig you up?"
"You're gonna find this hard to believe... but, uh, you sent me. You and Charles." Logan answers. "From the future."
Erik doesn't reply, he only gives Logan a confused look not because he doesn't belive him, as Erik has come across mutants with all sorts of powers so a mutant with time travel abilities isn't at all suprising. No Erik is confused as to why he and Charles would team up as their ideas of helping mutants couln't be any different.
During the flight the silent tension is thick inside the plane with Charles staring coldly at Erik. Logan watches them from further down the plane but decides to go back to reading not wanting to get involved in their drama... again.
"How did you lose them?" Erik asks ending the silence but not the tension.
"The treatment for my spine affects my DNA." Charles answers.
"You sacrificed your powers so you could walk?!" Erik inquires shocked to hear a fellow mutant would willing give up their powers.
"I sacrificed my powers so I could sleep..." Charles replies barely able to finish his sentence as with Felicia gone he no longer has the strength to block out everyone's depressing thoughts at night resulting in many sleepless nights. "What do you know about it?"
"I've lost my fair share." Erik replies somewhat understanding.
"Dry your eyes, Erik." Charles coldly chuckles. "It doesn't justify what you've done."
"You have no idea what I've done." Erik retorts
"I know you took the things that meant the most to me." Charles retorts.
"Well maybe you should have fought harder for them." Erik replies
"If you want a fight Erik, I will give you a fight!" Charles shouts standing up and so does Erik.
"Sit down!" Logan orders to wanting a fight to break out while they're forty thousand feet in the air.
"Let him come." Erik replies.
"You abandoned me!" Charles shouts grabbing Erik by the front of his shirt "You took her away and you abandoned me!"
"Angel." Erik grows angrier as he begins to recites the names of people they knew. "Azazel. Emma. Banshee. Mutant brothers and sisters, all dead!"
Erik's anger causes the jet to almost decompress and it starts to fall affecting the plane's stability.
"Countless others experimented on, butchered!" Erik fumes.
"Erik!" Hank yells out strugling to pilot the plane.
"Where were you, Charles?!" Erik screams. "We were supposed to protect them! Where were you when your own people needed you?! Hiding! You and Hank! Pretending to be something you're not! You abandoned us all!"
"ERIK!" Hank yells again as he begins to lose control of the plane.
"You abandoned us all!" Erik repeats one last time as he relinquishes his control of the plane, allowing Hank to regain control of the plane. "It's no surprise Felicia left you."
As Erik starts to cool off the jet starts to regain its balance and Charles walks over to the cockpit unable to even look at Erik right now.
"So, you were always an asshole." Logan scoffs as lights a cigar.
"I take it we're best buddies in the future." Erik replies.
"I spent a lot of years trying to bring you down, bub."
"How does that work out for you?" Erik asks.
"You're like me. You're a survivor." Logan replies. "You and Felicia."
Erik looks at Logan for a moment contemplating asking more about Felicia but given Charles' previous outburst he decides against it, not wanting to go down that path again.
"You wanna pick up that shit up?" Logan exhales a puff of smoke as he gestures to the mess Erik made

Meanwhile in Paris Felicia and Raven diguise themselves as normal party goers dressed up to the nines.
"Do you plan on ever telling me why you want to find Trask so bad?" Raven asks taking a sip of her drink.
"Not now Raven, please." Felicia replies as she keeps an eye on the many soldier in attendence. "We're in the middle of a mission."
"Fine." Raven scoffs as she rollers her eyes.
"Look, here comes General Nhuan. Get ready." Felicia instructs.
A Vitnamese general walks over the the bar where Raven and Felicia are standing keeping an eye on him, as he walks over to stand beside them Felicia knocks her glass over and turns to face the General staring at him accusingly.
"Pardon mademoi-" {Sorry Miss} The general goes to apologise but stops mid-sentence as he becomes enthralled by her beauty.
"Tôi khá chắc đó là lỗi của tôi" {I'm pretty sure it was my fault.} Felicia apologises is Vitenamese.
"Bạn nói tiếng Việt?" {You speak Vietnamese?} Nhuan replies rather shocked.
"Tôi là thông dịch viên. Tôi nói nhiều tiếng." {I'm an interpreter. I speak many tongues.} Felicia replies
"Để tôi mua cho anh một ly nữa... trừ khi anh ở đây với ai đó." {Let me buy you another drink... unless you're here with someone.} Nhuan flirts.
"Chỉ có người bạn xinh đẹp của tôi." {Only my beautiful friend.} Felicia flirts introducing the man to Raven.
"Une bouteille desmiles Jonnie Walker S'il vous plaît." {A bottle of Johnnie Walker please.} The General orders smiling at the two beautiful women in front of him.
Felicia and Raven follow Nhuan back to his hotel room and while he pours them a drink, Raven and Felicia notice his invitation for the summit in Paris on the table.
"Bạn sẽ đến hội nghị thượng đỉnh vào ngày mai?" {You're going to the summit tomorrow?} Felicia inquires.
"Một cô gái xinh đẹp quan tâm đến chính trị?" {A beautiful girl with an interest in politics?} Nhuan questions.
"Ngoại hình có thể là lừa dối." {Looks can be deceiving.} Felicia replies sultry.
"Ladies. Show me more, baby." Nhuan instructs as he makes his way over to them. "Clothes off."
Felicia then takes a step back as Mystique opens her coat and she slowly shifts her body into her mutant form and Nhuan watches her in shock.
"What's the matter, baby? You don't think I look pretty like this?" Raven says before droping her coat and holding her foot against Nhuan's throat, cutting off his air supply.
As Nhuan slowly begins to fall unconious Felicia picks up his invitation on the table quickly ready reading throught it.
"This is our ticket to Trask." Felicia smiles waving the invitation.
"Now that the mission is over can you please tell me why you're so hellbent of finding Trask." Raven asks as Nhuan's unconsious body falls to the floor.
"Why are you so hellbent on finding out why?!" Felicia retorts frustrated with the constant questioning.
"Because its suspisious! You don't do this kind of work without a motive!" Raven argues. " You know mine why won't you tell me your's?!"
As Raven continues to shout and yell Felicia falls into her own mind and Raven's voice slowly becomes distant. All the horrible thoughts and memories of recent past flood Felicia's mind and she tries to supress it like she'd been doing all these years but she's forced to deal with what she feels as there is no distraction to mask what is real. Felicia tries once more to supress it all but nothing can stop the fact she'd been living like a ghost the last year, walking by everyone she knew, saying she was fine but she'd really lost sway and glow.
Tears begin streaming down Felicia face as she falls to her knees no longer able keep up her facade.
"We're a team, Felicia! How can I trust you if you won't tell me why you want Trask so badly!" Raven shouts.
"BECAUSE HE TOOK MY CHILDREN AWAY!" Felicia shouts, weeping as she final lets out her grief.
