X-Men Vol 2: Year One Part 5, Ideology
PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU FAVORITE.
Erik lays unconscious on the couch in the parlour of the Xavier Mansion. As he awakes, a radio blares.
“Tonight's top story. Senator Robert Kelly has approved of Trask Industries Sentinel Program. “The program would help protect U.S. from the mutant threat”, says Kelly. Plans to present a prototype at a public rally this coming week promises to be an eventful turn in the continuing mutant situation.”
The radio is turned off, as Erik walks into the next room. Charles is waiting for him.
“Ah Erik, glad to see you awake. Chess?”
“Did you hear the radio? The mutant situation they’re calling it.”
“In my defense I set it to jazz. You changed it in your sleep.”
“That’s not the point, Charles! They are planning to eliminate us!”
“Well when we attack their churches, I wonder why.”
Erik sits down opposite Charles.
“Chess is never fun with you. You already know what I’m going to play.”
“I don’t use my powers for chess. it ruins the game.”
“Fine, but I have the first move.”
Erik moves a pawn.
“I know you’re planning to go to the rally”
Charles moves one of his knights
“Thought you said you wouldn’t read my mind.”
“Didn’t need to.”
Erik moves his bishop.
“You can’t stop me, Charles. I’m not going to stop until Mutants are safe from humanity”
Charles moves his other knight.
“And I won’t until they are at peace, and if that means stopping you from hurting them, so be it.”
Erik takes one of his knights with is bishop.
“Always the optimist, Charles. Tell me, when will you wake up from your delusions of peace?”
“When I can no longer walk to lead them there.”
Charles takes Eriks Bishop with a Pawn
“So is that it? You will lead humanity and Mutantkind to Peaceful coexistence?”
“Well I won’t lead them to war, Erik. Something I know you will.”
“Peace was never an option for me. I was molded from war. Maybe I’m destined to start it again.”
“Or maybe destiny can fuck right off! Erik, this is insanity!”
“No, it’s survival of the fittest.”
With that, Erik gets up from his chair and heads towards the door.
“I could stop you. I could stop you right now.”
“Then stop me Charles.”
The two look at each other, then Erik leaves Charles. Charles looks at the board. He unenthusiastically knocks over his king.
“Checkmate, old friend.”
