During the trial, the team explained to Strange of an incursion event and what happened to their version of the sorcerer, with Xavier showing Strange what happened on Titan. When Scarlet Witch arrived to capture Chavez, Professor X and Mordo remained with Strange as the others went to confront Maximoff. Stephen then pleaded his innocence and Xavier believed him, relating his motto that no was one was truly lost off their path. Before leaving to confront Maximoff, Charles revealed the location of the Book of Vishanti and gave the sorcerer some advice.
Confronting Maximoff, Professor X used his telepathic powers to enter the witch's mind to break her control over her Earth-838 counterpart. Within her subconscious, Xavier came across Wanda trapped under rubble and attempted to free her, but she was taken away as Scarlet Witch killed Charles by ripping his head off.
