He doesn't want it to end like this.

"Erik, you said yourself we're the better men. It's time to prove it."

Erik has always believed that - but from Charles' lips, it sounds desperate. Weak.

He cannot afford to listen to his lover now.

"There are thousands of men on those ships. They're just following orders."

Something inside him snaps. And it dawns on him with perfect clarity that Charles never really understood him at all.

"I've been at the mercy of men just following orders."

He turns to look into Charles' eyes, make him see - really see. "Never again"

And he sends the missiles flying back to the ships.

Erik's not expecting Charles to barrel into him and knock him down. He knows every line of Charles' body, but this is different. Wrong. So very wrong.

And then that pathetic woman starts shooting at him.

All he can think about is the missiles. And the gun. And Charles...

Erik glances at his lover.

Searing pain cripples him and he goes down to his knees, white hot metal through the meat of his thigh. In an instant, the crushed bullet is in his hand and he keels over in the blood-stained sand.

"Erik!"

Charles drops to his knees in the sand, mindless of the blood that seeps into his suit at the knee, stains his hands where they fall. The missiles previously under Erik's control, too, flee from his mind as he tries to find the source of the bleeding.

"Erik? Erik, where are you hurt?" He demands. "Erik, talk to me!"

"No, Erik, no," Charles shakes his head, as if that will make a difference.

"Not without you. We'll carry you between us, get you to a hospital. Come on. I'll get Hank to lift you." He speaks in a rush, panicking, looking around for Hank to lift Erik with his super strength.

"They have a teleporter," Charles points out as he waves Hank over.

"We'll have him take us to safety. By force, if I must. I will make sure you're safe. I promise."

"ERIK!" Charles yells, trying to reach back for the other man, his best friend, his... God, he wasn't even sure what Erik was to him. But he couldn't just leave him.

But Hank was too strong, and he was helpless to resist as the Beast swept him up over his shoulder and carried him over to where Azazel was waiting to teleport them away, to safety.

Charles continues to yell Erik's name, reaching uselessly for him and fighting Hank's hold, even as the beach disappears from in front of his eyes, replaced instead by the grounds of his childhood home.

Erik was gone. He'd abandoned him.
