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.
