So Charles has risen in power/importance that he gets invited to some big dinner Shaw is at, and Erik is in and they are all ready to assassinate him, but Emma is next to him and mind reads their intentions and Charles has never met another telepath so EVERYTHING GOES TO SHIT, and Erik and Charles have to flee. And now Charles is known to be, well, a would be assassin, and with Emma they can't infiltrate shit anymore, so Charles is like, ERIK, MY FRIEND, LET US FORGET ALL THIS AND GO HERD SHEEP TOGETHER; I HEAR ITHACA IS PRETTY RAD. And Erik is like, NO, WE MUST RAISE AN ARMY TO FIGHT HIM.

And Charles is like, BUT HE'S THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON IN THE WORLD! And war is bloodshed D: I will not do this.

And Erik is like, SO BE IT.

schism schism schism

And this could end there. BUT THEN--

Meanwhile, Raven is like, FUCK THIS, I'M GOING TO GO RUN OFF AND BE WORSHIPED IN A TEMPLE SOMEWHERE AS A GODDESS. So she does. Hank comes with her for high priest duties.

So Erik becomes crazy warlord guy, which is hard to do without Charles because he's so inspirational and smart and shit, but Erik has sort of gone off the deep end and is willing to burn shit to the ground, so.

EVENTUALLY there is a big scandal with Shaw's wife, who he married for political power back in the day, so he sends Emma to chill out somewhere, probably because the big scandal is that he erects a golden statue of her in the middle of someplace and it's obviously her and he dedicates it TO VENUS. This is years later, and Shaw doesn't go to war anymore because he is too powerful and important for that, and his generals do his dirty work.

So SOMEHOW a riot starts and all the senators are clustered together and then BAM Azazel stabs Shaw, and Shaw is all, et tu, Az, seriously? And Azazel is like WHAT I MEAN I TOTALLY DID WANT TO KILL YOU, BUT I HAD NO PLANS and from elsewhere Charles is like, ~MIND CONTROL~.

Meanwhile Emma is pissed and so Erik is sort of in the Marc Antony roll, because he teams up with her and they take on the Roman civil war.

Sometime around there Charles, who has been missing for years, infiltrates Erik's tent and he's like, Erik! Please stop! I thought you would stop once Shaw was dead!

And Erik is all, ROME WILL PAY. OR ROME WILL BE MINE.

And Charles is like, BUT I KILLED CAESAR SHAW FOR YOU.

And Erik is like, AND THUS DENIED ME EVERYTHING, EVEN MY REVENGE.

divorce two, SAD SAD SAD--

except Charles plays the BUT WHAT WOULD YOUR MOTHER SAY card, and also, HOW ARE YOU SURE THE OTHER TELEPATH ISN'T INFLUENCING YOU?

and Erik, because he's paranoid, doesn't quite have an answer.

and Charles leaves his tent, but the seed has been planted and next time they meet Erik is like, what would you have me do--risk falling thrall to the OTHER telepath I know?

And Charles is like, yeah, basically. Also Raven set up this temple out in the middle of nowhere and people worship her as a goddess and they like mutants, it's pretty groovy, do you want to come?

And Erik is like, NO WAR. I AM BUSY.

And it's very sad.

BUT THEN--um, something. Resolutions. I DON'T KNOW. Erik decides FUCK THIS one day because he's about to slaughter a family and it sickens him and he's like WHAT HAVE I BECOME, EMMA, I PULL OUT and Emma's like, WHATEVER, PUSS.

And so eventually he tracks down the temple where Raven is running shit and Charles is indeed there acting as kind of an oracle and THEY ALL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER AND ALSO EMMA WINS THE UNIVERSE.
