Logan Vs Raven

"Do you know what I think?" Logan snorted, his expression darkened. "I heard you talking about me?"

As Raven brought Eric into the room, Logan's frustration erupted. "This is my idea!" he roared, lunging towards Raven. Three claws sprang from his fist, aiming to strike Raven with lethal force.

"Oh, you're quite brave!" Alex shook his head, anticipating the impending clash and Wolverine's likely fate.

"Do you want to dance?" Raven, undeterred, raised her arm. Her white, delicate fingers transformed, glowing a fiery red, resembling a blazing inferno.

A powerful beam of light shot from Raven's hand like a laser cannon, colliding forcefully with Wolverine.

"What..." Logan screamed as he was propelled backward by the impact. Had Raven not restrained her power, a significant hole would have marred Logan's chest.

Raven's ability was not limited to shape-shifting alone. Over the years, her ability had evolved. Raven could now not only mimic others but also possess their abilities simultaneously. The recent enhancement allowed her to combine partial shape-shifting with other abilities.

The laser cannon move Raven just executed was borrowed from Summer's abilities.

"How... how can you be this powerful? Are you still Mystique? How is this possible? I never knew Mystique had such power!" Wolverine, lying on the ground, stared at Raven in shock, grappling with the realization that the world was evolving faster than he could comprehend.

Wasn't Mystique only capable of changing appearances? Where did this newfound ability to unleash laser cannons come from? Why was it so different from the Mystique he thought he knew? The answers eluded him, leaving Wolverine bewildered in a world that seemed to be rewriting its rules.

"What's he planning? To fight with me? Darling, is there something off in this guy's brain!"

Raven seated herself beside Alex, her lips curling in a derisive Alexk aimed at Wolverine.

"Absolutely! He's got a screw loose, and he's seriously unwell."

From Logan's recent thoughts, Alex detected his intention to eliminate Raven outright, viewing it as a solution to the impending "doomsday crisis." 

Sacrificing Raven for a potentially better future seemed worthwhile to Logan, considering the multitude of sacrifices foreseen in the future.

If it were the previous Mystique, she might not have been up to the challenge. However, the current Raven had no problem taking on Wolverine.

"Hey, did you summon me back just to watch a brawl?"

Eric, perched on a chair, raised an eyebrow as he surveyed the scene.

"Oh, definitely not."

Charles shook his head. "Eric, I glimpsed a horrifying future in Wolverine's memories. Take a look!"

With a mere thought, Charles transmitted the visions he saw in Logan's mind to Eric.

"The future? The end? It's really like this?"

Eric leapt to his feet in astonishment, his excitement evident. "I knew it! I knew it! These despicable humans are truly detestable!"

In Eric's perspective, the future's demise was solely due to human animosity towards Mutants, resulting in the creation of menacing Sentinels that ultimately obliterated the world.

"We must put an end to this!"

Charles regarded Eric with a solemn expression. "The Sentinel must never come into existence."

"It's simple."Eric sneered, tilting his head upward. "Just kill Trisk."

"No, no!" Wolverine scrambled to his feet and hastily intervened. "In the future I've witnessed, Trisk has been killed! Yet, Sentinels still emerge! Killing Trisk will only fuel human hatred towards Mutants. They'll relentlessly research various weapons. The future remains grim!"

"Huh? Your perspective sounds a lot like Charles's! A pacifist? A peaceful Wolverine?

How intriguing!"

Eric's lip curled in a disdainful sneer. "No matter how you want to prevent that future, Trisk must be the key. Everyone, Trisk is in Paris! Let's head there first!"

Simultaneously, Alex's psychic powers extended outward, sensing something. He lifted his head and addressed the group, "Paris? Yes! The Vietnam War has ended, and the Paris peace talks are underway. Trisk intends to present his Sentry plan at the Paris Peace Conference."

Charles swiftly deduced the motive, urging, "Go, let's head to Paris!"

The group wasted no time, boarding the plane crafted by Hank, hurtling toward Paris.

"Wait a moment, I'll bring Emma and Jessica. Their abilities have significantly improved; I believe they can be of great assistance to us."

As Charles and the others settled onto the plane, Alex shouted. In an instant, his form vanished, and upon reappearing, Emma and Jessica stood before the aircraft.

"All right, our mission is to get Trisk. Let's go together."
