Soon they landed in a nearby cave and soon they put wolverine into some sort of sleep to be in the past. Gaara waited alongside Azure, hoping they would succeed. Then another mutant turned up, one the Xmen had thought dead previously. He explained that he could send two into the past, physically but the time portal needed something tough in order to stop them from being torn apart. Gaara spoke up. "My sand barrier is plenty strong to withstand even a direct hit from a semi going 70. But if I go, then Azure goes with me" He said. The leaders nodded and the time portal was made. Gaara formed a sand barrier around him and Azure. Together they walked into the portal.
