Chapter 221 - 220. Control Your Mutants
----
Nolan stood unfazed, Deadpool’s rambling fading into background noise. He looked past him, eyes locked onto Xavier.
"So?" he asked, voice cool. "Do you still want to fight?"
Charles didn’t answer right away. His gaze fell on Emma Frost and Blink, both restrained. His heart sank.
"I don’t," he finally said. "But I can’t let you take them."
He knew exactly what awaited them if Nolan succeeded. No death, perhaps but experimentation, dissection, analysis.
The very thing mutants like Erik, Logan, and even Wade had nightmares about.
"No one deserves to be treated like a lab rat," Charles said firmly.
Nolan’s smile was thin. "I told you already. You lost. You don’t have negotiation rights anymore."
Then a crash of repulsors.
A red-and-gold figure landed hard, shaking the battered lawn of the Xavier estate.
