After Aaron reveals Jean's situation to the X-Men, they return to the X estate on the X plane and begin to delve into the situation.

"She almost killed the raven!" Hank shouted angrily, slamming his furry fist against the wall, "if it weren't for him," he pointed at Aaron, "the one who was impaled would be the raven..."

He whispered the words, afraid to speak out loud about the possibility.

But she didn't. Charles responded to Hank, "Jean knows what she's doing, at least to some extent. "

With that, Aaron raised his hand.

"No, it's not... He's right... If it weren't for me, the raven might have turned into a mutated grilled crow skewer. "The only reason this didn't happen was that I used my body as a shield and used my telekinesis to protect her, otherwise, we would both have become that... Nutritious mutant kebabs. "

"Do you think it's all a joke?" Scott glared at him, but his arm had recovered with the help of the Beast.

"Not really, but what else can I do? Cry?" Aaron rolled his eyes.

"Jean will never kill a raven," Charles said firmly.

"Maybe not intentionally, but... Now she didn't do anything on purpose, did she?"

"Let's stop arguing and think about how we can help Jean. The raven, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.

"Where else would she go at such a time?" Aaron asked.

"We don't know," Oloro replied softly.

"Is there a mutant-friendly place where she might be hiding?" Aaron actually knew where she was, but he didn't want to be doubted anymore, they were already questioning how he knew about the power of the phoenix, and the last thing he wanted to do was give the bald professor a new reason to read his consciousness.

"She... Probably with Eric. Raven's eyes widened at a moment's notice.

Finally, someone took the bait.

"Sounds like a possibility. Aaron nodded, a smile on his face.

"You know," Charles muttered under his breath, "you know about Jean's condition, you know... Where she could be ..."

Is he reading his superficial thoughts again? Enough!

"I've had enough of your hypocrisy!" Aaron angrily slammed his fist on the table, which was smashed in half, before he telepathically pushed the professor down, "I'm leaving, I'm going to solve the problem my way." "

"You don't want to go anywhere. Scott warned, reaching for his goggles with his right hand, ready to shoot at Aaron.

"Bring the horses here, I'll tell you... This will be your last. "This whole place is a lie, a castle in the air to satisfy Charles' self-esteem, and Aaron has had enough of the nonsense he and Scott are talking about.

"Why don't you bother with this?" Charles asked from the ground, turning to Raven and Hank, "He knows more... But he won't tell us..."

"I know a lot of things, a lot of bad things," Aaron admits with a wry smile, "but I've already shared it with you about Jean." Yes, I thought she might be with Eric, given your relationship with him, but I'm not sure. "

It's also true, as the timeline changes, he's not sure if she's justified being with Magneto, he just knows it's still a possibility.

"But frankly, Charles, I've had enough of your, you always talk about morality, talk about how we are accepted, talk about how we have to play by the rules, but when you have the opportunity to go against everything you're against... You don't hesitate. Charles, do you think it's moral to invade my mind just because you think I might help Jean's information? If I have information, I'll share it, not because I care about her, I don't care about her at all, but because I care about Emily!".

Finally, Aaron roared.

"Aaron—" Oloro sighed, putting her hand on his shoulder, trying to comfort him.

"Okay, I said what I wanted to say, and now I'm leaving. He waved at them, then made an indecent gesture to Scott and Charles and began to walk out of the office.

"I said no—" Before Scott could finish his sentence, Aaron slapped him so hard that he bent over in pain and spat a tooth out of his mouth.

"Please... Don't go—" Raven stood at the exit and blocked Aaron's way.

"As long as that guy," Aaron pointed to Charles, "and still wants to read my thoughts, even if it's just superficial, don't expect me to stay and help! Those are my thoughts! He doesn't have the right to read them without my permission." "

"He's not going to do it again. Raven reassured, then turned to Charles, "Isn't it, Charles?".

Charles sighed, his face filled with impatience and anger, as if the raven's problem was bothering him. "Well, I can promise...", but Aaron didn't seem to believe him.

"Promise?" Aaron sneered, "you don't have a choice, if you read my mind any more and try to find a way to save the piano, I promise to push your wheelchair down the steps of Mount Nissen... See what you can do. "

Aaron said with a smile. "And, I've had enough of it all. I'll help, but I'm not going to stay with this little worm. "

Raven frowned and said, "Don't do it again, I know he's stupid sometimes, but you have to stop threatening others like this." "

"It's not a threat, raven, it's a guarantee. I do what I say, and I know you'll protect him... But if he does it again, I will keep my promise. Charles, just this once, read my thoughts and see how determined I am. Aaron smiled at him.

"I... Anyway, we'll have to contact Eric. Hank interrupted their conversation.

"You go and get in touch, and I'll do what I have to do. Aaron informed them.

"What?" asked Oloro.

"Such a powerful force... There will definitely be idiots who want to control it... I'll have to evaluate them first. Aaron replied.

"Do you think someone is after Jean?" said Charles's face with concern.

"Yes. Aaron nodded, then walked out of the room.
