"What? Antimatter? This girl has powers related to antimatter?" Charles was shocked by this revelation and fearful too. Antimatter can be described as a substance which when comes in contact with matter it causes annihilation, or in simpler terms, it causes a huge explosion. It is said that a gram of antimatter can cause an explosion equivalent to a nuclear bomb.
"No. I found antimatter in her body. A power that is unique in her body has isolated small antimatter particles so that it doesn't cause any harm. I have got rid of some of them but some are still there deep inside her. I need time to extract all these particles and do more in depth study to understand what exactly is going on." Dr. said.
"Are you sure that it's antimatter? A mutant with antimatter capabilities? This person is dangerous to himself (or herself), to others and even to his or her own self. Professor, we need to find this mutant and bring him or her in." Scott said.
"Agreed."
"Doctor, we need you to heal her completely. We need to understand what is going on with her." Charles said as he was leaving in his wheelchair. He was followed by all the X-men as they went to Cerebro to find out who this 'antimatter' mutant was that had appeared recently.
Dr. Reyes went inside the medical room to keep an eye on her and see how her condition evolved from here on out.
Meanwhile, Charles used the Cerebro to find the specific mutant but he was surprised that he was not able to find any such mutant with such mind blowing powers. he thought he searched it wrong and felt that the Cerebro wasn't working perfectly so he used it to find other mutants like Erik and the mutants in his brotherhood.
It was all fine and dandy when it came to searching for all other mutants, but no matter what they couldn't find any such mutants who had antimatter powers or anything close to that in this regard.
For a week this had gone by and Charles still wasn't able to find any such mutant. Since he failed in this, he paid attention to another matter. Contacting Erik. Though he couldn't get inside the mind of Erik but he could get in the mind of one of his members of his brotherhood.
Charles invaded the mind of Pyro. A mutant who could control fire (X men movies, brother of Iceman, Bobby). Pyro was sitting next to Magneto as they were discussing ways to fight against the sentinels. The war against them looked hopeless as the enemies proved to be very powerful
"Erik, it's been a long time." Suddenly Pyro, who was listening attentively to what Magneto was saying, spoke out. All got stunned as Pyro had never used that tone to talk with their leader ever before.
Magneto's eyes shined when Pyro said that because he could already guess what had happened.
"Is that you Charles? You have some audacity to come and talk to me here. Where are you? You aren't safe being so far from home." Erik said as he had a hint of concern. No matter what they had been best friends once and even though they stood in opposite camps now, they still maintained their friendship and respect for each other.
"I would be a fool if I was there. I am at Cerebro. How is the situation there? Is it that bad?" Charles asked. Erik nodded his head as he understood that he did it through a long distance.
"You invaded the mind of one of my brothers. Why don't you look into his mind and tell me." Erik said as he didn't go into depths of how bad it was. They had been hiding in the underground bomb shelters of Kremlin. They had been on the run for sometime now and couldn't be in a single location for a long time.
And mutants were either dying under him or were being captured. Charles was silent as he took a peek at the recent events. He didn't know what he should say to console his friend.
"Why did you call me Charles?" Erik asked as he was sure that his friend had seen what they were going through.
"I want you to come home. We found a girl who isn't a mutant but has powers. We fear that it is because of illegal experiments of the military and government. I want your advice on that." Charles said.
"A girl who has powers without the X-gene. Interesting. How do you propose we should handle her? " Erik asked.
"We can discuss this once you come back here. There is Blink in your small squad. Use her powers and open a portal to my home. I am sure she would be able to handle the passage of a single man."
(Blink is the girl who could open portals to different locations. She was in X men days of the future past. She was in the start of the movie where she did after being stabbed by a Sentinel)

"It's not an ambush. Is it? You are giving up our location so that your precious X-men is safe.`` Erik said.
"I would be disappointed if you think so lowly of me, my friend. I will wait for you. Be here in an hour." Charles said before signing off from the mind of Pyro. He came out of the Cerebro as the others were now waiting outside the medical room. Today was supposed to be the day when the girl would wake up from her coma.
At least that's what Dr. Reyes expected so everybody of the X-men who cared about her were waiting for the good news. After much investigation it was found that the particles inside her were really antimatter. Beast confirmed it and said the power which she has might be related to something in the line of time and space.
Because only those kinds of powers could wrap antimatter without harming the body. Everybody was astonished when Beast came out with this report. They thought the girl was just powerful but listening to what Beast said they realized the water was very deep here and they needed to swim in it very carefully.
Charles was riding his wheelchair towards the medical wing when a purple portal opened in front of him. The portal looked unstable and small as if it would close any moment. But the portal was big enough to fit a man as in the next moment magneto came out of the portal.
"You came faster than I expected." Charles said while looking at his old friend with his own eyes.
"What can I say? By saying words like antimatter you piqued my interest." Erik said while shrugging his shoulders.
"Then I should have gone with the statement that the girl might have powers related to space and time." Charles said. Erik's face became sombre when Charles said. It was all good if she was of their kind, but she wasn't and if she had powers related to space and time, he wasn't sure if the girl would be a threat to them.
"Erik, I know what you are thinking. But let me make this clear, you won't touch her until we make it apparent if she is a threat to the mutants or not." Charles said as he was afraid he might just kill her before figuring out what was going on.
"I am not the monster you think I am." Erik said while shaking his head.
As they were talking they had already reached outside the medical room. Logan clenched his fist when he saw Erik. For Logan, Erik was his arch nemesis. Someone who was born to be the greatest rival for a lifetime, but here he couldn't retaliate as he was invited by Professor himself.
He just glared at Magneto but didn't say a word.
"Relax macho man. I am not here to abuse you." Magneto joked. Logan was ready to argue when the door of the medical room opened and Dr. Reyes came out.
"She is awake. She has opened her eyes. But I will keep this straight. Don't push her too much. She is in trauma. The first words that came out of her mouth were mom and dad. Assuming she had lost her parents, I hope you will be sensitive to her situation before you go full Sherlock Holmes on her." Dr. said.
"Charles here can just go into her mind and bring out all the secrets." Erik said.
"I won't do such unethical things until absolutely necessary." Charles said as he went right in with the other X-men, followed by Erik.
They came near the bed where the girl was lying down. She had her eyes open but the bruises that she had suffered were still apparent on her face. And in many places of the body she was still bandaged. She was just looking at the ceiling with tears flowing down her eyes.
This scene made everybody sad. They could already guess that she had lost her parents. In a normal situation they would have let the girl heal well and then ask questions but here they were running out of time. Sentinels could be knocking on their door any moment. Charles finally took up the courage and said
"Hello Miss. I am Charles Xavier. And these are my friends and colleagues. Can I know your name?"
The girl moved her eyes and looked around. She looked at Charles and the other people standing. Her eyes seemed like it was in pain but in depth of this one could easily feel a sense of determination.
"Which Earth is this? How many fighters do you have?"
Those were the first words that came out of her mouth. She said in a slow and steady pace. All the other people present in the room were dumbfounded by this. They thought she would introduce herself first but all she asked was a very weird question which they couldn't find the head and tails of.
