Chapter 29 - CHAPTER 24: MUTANT'S GAMBIT

The world tore itself inside out—and dumped them into Cerebro's core just as Jean Grey's psychic scream shattered the diamond panels. 

**STATUS SCREEN EMERGENCY UPDATE:** 

**LOCATION: [X-MANSION - DAYS OF FUTURE PAST TIMELINE]** 

**THREAT ALERT: [PHOENIX FORCE MANIFESTATION]** 

**OBJECTIVE: [RECRUIT MAGNETO - 8000 SP]** 

Logan's claws slid out an inch from Dean's jugular. "Wrong place, wrong time, bub." 

Dean didn't blink. His **STATUS SCREEN** projected a hologram of the Sentinel blueprints between them. "You need a hacker." 

Magneto's helmet reflected the Phoenix's fire as he descended from the ruptured ceiling. "We need a miracle." 

Dean tossed him the Tesseract shard. "Same thing." 

The **STATUS SCREEN** pulsed: 

**MAGNETO'S BOND: 18%** 

**RECOMMENDED APPROACH: [APOCALYPTIC REVELATION]** 

Dean showed them the memory—the mutant internment camps, the Phoenix's rampage, the scorched earth where Xavier's dream died screaming. Logan's claws retracted. 

Jean's telekinesis short-circuited the **STATUS SCREEN**. "You're not from this timeline." 

Loki sighed. "Obviously." He snapped his fingers. 

The grenade pin clattered to the floor. 

Cerebro exploded.
