*Story of Us* Young! Charles Xavier x reader

Chapter 14

You stared at the wall. That blank wall that you had seen every day years ago. It's funny how someone can get so much nostalgia over a wall.
" it's good to see you back here" a voice spoke from the doorway,
You looked up from the bed to see Hank. He had a thin smile showing but it was obvious that he was down.
" Hank, I'm sorry" you muttered, your heart was heavy. Being back here in the mansion was foreign to you-you felt like one of the students: alone and helpless. The genius looked surprised, he walked over and sat next to you, "y/n don't do this. It's weird, for all of us." You shook your head, "no. I mean, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for leaving you and Charles all that time ago, I'm sorry about Mystique and I'm just sorry," you rambled, leaning onto Hank for support.
___
"Hank?" You knew that voice. You froze in Hanks hold, separating yourself from your friend to see Charles.
Charles looked at you from the doorway, his gaze flitted between Hank and you: you held his gaze: refusing to fold. Now that you could see Charles you noticed how different he looked: the bags were sunken under his bloodshot eyes, his hair had grown along with the scraggly beard; it was unusual seeing Charles, not in a blazer, sweater or cardigan - the Charles that stood aghast in the doorway of your room wore baggy clothes with stains in odd places.
___
That was an hour ago.
" Charles, let me help" you offered to the guys. They all looked at you, Charles faced Cerebro his face was ashen, "Charles you haven't used your power to this extent in well since..." you trailed off before noticing Charles tense, " you'll injure yourself. I can ease the pain" you added, Hank even chimed in agreeing while Logan stood sulkily, waiting.
You breathed in deeply and moved so you were crouched beside Charles: placing your hand on his you focused your powers throughout his body while Charles searched for Mystique.
Charles grimaced and tensed under your hold, you edged your power more in hopes of dulling the pain, it seemed to work as he relaxed. But it went wrong, it was too much and now his pain was slowly being transferred to you: you felt your self-whimper in pain and briefly could see Hank rush out of the room. "Charles" you cried out as he clutched your hand in fear. You let out a small cry as Logan pushed you behind him, taking your place. "Look Past all the pain" Logan demanded but the professor cried and writhed in agony, tears streamed down his face, you tried to help," Charles you can. I believe in you."
___
"Back at the house where you should be. I need you to come home...." you listened as Charles communicated with Raven, Logan stood behind you listening.
Of course, Logan and you could only hear what Charles said, "what do you mean? Raven what did you mean Trask had on y/n" Charles yelled out suddenly, his entire body went rigid. You whipped your head behind you to look wide-eyed at Logan who shrugged, you then looked at Charles. It felt like your body went frozen, an icy chill crawled down you back and a sick feeling bubbled in you when you heard your name. "Charles wh-why does Trask know me?What happened" you begged, but Charles could only squeeze your hand In response.
"Shut her down, Charles." Hank spoke from somewhere behind you, " Get in her head."
"She's not letting me in. I'm barely holding on. I'm not strong enough yet."
___
Charles spoke quietly in despair. it was like an instinct, the same one you felt back at Cuba: to save him, to help Charles. You held back a sob yet you still grabbed his hand, allowing yourself to heal him. You felt Hank and Logan eyes on you but you ignored them. Trask had something on you: that's what Charles had said.
"Where is she?" Someone questioned - must be Hank you thought.
Charles shifted in his seat, swivelling to look at them, "she's in an airport boarding a plane" he replied to them but his eyes were on you.
"Charles what did Raven tell you. You said 'what did Trask have on me!" You hissed, your heart was beating a million times a second and you felt almost faint. "I'm so sorry love" Charles spoke under his breath. He slowly unclasped your intertwined hands and pulled apart. "Trask had files on you. Raven uncovered them. They were tracking you. They filed you as dead. That's why Trask and herself were so surprised to see you alive" Charles spoke, you could basically hear the emotion in his voice. He had seen something and it was tearing him apart.
