Westchester, New York 1944

A young Charles Xavier age twelve awakens from his peaceful sleep in his families mansion to a noise in his house he slowly gets up grabbing a baseball bat and quietly walking down the stairs to see a light on in the kitchen.

As Charles walks into the kitchen to see the fridge open as a blonde elderly woman wearing red smiles at him with her hands resting on her hip.

"Mother. What are you...I thought you were a burglar." Young Charles said while dropping his baseball bat to his side.

"I didn't mean to scare you, darling. I was just getting a snack. Go back to bed." Sharon the boy's mother said to him with a British accent.

Her saying this to Charles makes him go quiet and just stares at his 'mother'.

"What's the matter? Go on, back to bed." She said trying to get him to leave but he remains silent.

"I'll make you a hot chocolate." The boy's mother said while putting her hands on her hands slightly bending over to reach his height but Charles just stares at her then to the picture of them before looking at her.

"Who are you? And what have you done with my mother?" Charles said making his mother stif up as he uses his powers to speak in her mind.

"My mother has never set foot in this kitchen in her life. And she certainly never made me a hot chocolate. Unless you count ordering the maid to do it." Charles voice echoes in the woman's head causing her to move back holding her head as Charles chuckles softly.

His mother looks at him in fear but her body slowly morphs into a young boy with beautiful red skin with scales like scars with dark black hair.

"You're not scared of me?" A young red skinned boy asked him with a tone filled with confusion.

"I always believed I couldn't be the only one in the world. The only person who was...different.
And here you are. Charles Xavier." Charles said to him happily his is not alone anymore as he holds his hand to him.

"Erik." He said shaking his hand.

"You're hungry and alone. Take whatever you want. We've got lots of food. You don't have to steal. In fact, you never have to steal again." Charles said while offering his home to Erik to live in, as Erik chuckles happily.

At a Nazi concentration camp in Poland

A older man named Sebastian Shaw but using the name Dr. Klaus Schmid addresses a young Elijah in his office, as he hits in front of Elijah and Elijah stands in front of his desk scared out of his mind.

"Understand this, Elijah...These Nazis, I'm not like them.Genes are the key, yes? But their goals? Blue eyes? Blond Hair? Pathetic." Shaw said to Elijah as Elijah shakes in fear, the man hands him a piece of chocolate.

"Eat the chocolate. It's good. Want some?"

"I want to see my mama." A young Elijah said with tears in his eyes but Shaw ignores him.

"Genes are the key that unlocks the door to a new age, Elijah. A new future for mankind.
Evolution. You know what I'm talking about?
It's a simple thing I ask of you. A little coin is nothing compared to a big gate. Is it?"

Elijah tries to move the coin on the desk with his powers but fails.

"I tried, Herr Doctor. I can't... I don't...It's impossible."

"The one thing I can say for the Nazis is their
methods seem to produce results. I'm sorry, Elijah." Shaw said to him clicking his tongue as he rings the bell and two man come into the room holding Floria Elijah's mother tightly.

"Mama! My darling. How are you? Nein." She asked her son while Shaw telling the men to separating her from her child.

"Here's what we're going to do. I'm going to count to three..." Shaw said to Elijah as he opens a drawer and pulls out a gun.

"...and you're going to move the coin. You don't move the coin, I pull the trigger." He finished his sentence making both Elijah and his mother, Floria, to shake in fear as Shaw points the gun at Floria.

"Understand?"

Elijah attempts to move it again without success with a sense of urgency but this annoys Shaw.

"One"

"Mama..."

"You can do it." Florian said to her son making him try harder but no success.

"Two." Shaw said now angry.

Elijah looks back at his mother as she smiles at him and he tries again.

"Alles ist gut. Alles ist gut." Floria said to her son as he tries again but Shaw has run out of patients.

"Three." Shaw said as he shoots and kills Floria which causes a Elijah to grow in rage crushing a small metal bell.

"Yes. Wonderful."

Elijah continues to grow in rage crushing a metal filling cabinet.

"Excellent."

Elijah no longer has control of his powers he crushes the soldiers helmets crushing them immense pain as they die as Shaw smiles happily. Shaw consoles him Elijah once he gains control and stops standing there in tears.

"Outstanding, Erik. So we unlock your gift with anger. Anger and pain. You and me...we're going to have a lot of fun together." Shaw said as he puts the coin in his hand before leaving the room.
