❝Dearest Diary... That's how you're supposed to begin isn't it? I wouldn't know. I'm rather new to this diary writing lark.❞ Young Charles Francis Xavier is privileged, cloistered and educated. Being the inhabitant of a mansion, the heir to a bottomless fortune and attending the best private school in the tri-state area, anyone would've thought there was nothing more a teenager could want. Richness can't buy his father back from the grave. Wealth can't afford him a loving step family. Opulence can't purchase him an ordinary life. A thousand lavished rooms can't compensate for the neglect he feels from his mother. A fleet of flash cars doesn't make up for the bullying he experiences at school. Every last penny cannot make up for the horrors of the verbal and physical abuse of his step-dad. But some influence and affluence can cover any incidents. Any blemish in his family's public persona is swiftly glossed over. His diary encompasses his daily struggles: the anxiety that comes with his teenage years, the development of telepathic powers and the intense fear that one day, his step-dad may overstep the mark. Just for once, you can listen in on the telepath's thoughts.

Erik has disappeared into the unknown, vanished after he was exposed as a mutated tyrant on national television. The Whitehouse is in ruins and the world is in hysteria after the exposure of advanced beings. Mutants are in more danger than ever before, Erik, Charles and Raven's faces were broadcast internationally. Charles has returned home with Hank, and relapsed into his mindless alcohol fueled, mind-numbing drugged up ways; tumbling back into a crippling depression. Erik cannot be trusted to be left alone, scheming and dreaming up a new strategic master plan to rid the world of the un-mutated "Neanderthals", and replenish his squad of mutants -- with his own children: Wanda and Pietro. He must be found and stopped before he gets the chance to strike again and vanquish all hope of redemption. Charles dreams of bringing Erik back in and teaching him how to use his power for good; to teach him that being a mutant is a gift, not a curse; to teach him that just because someone stumbles - loses their way, it doesn't mean they are lost forever. But to ever foster any hope of restoring Erik to his former pacifistic glory, he must accept his own gifts and use them; no matter how much it pains him. He must suffer for the sake of others: for the sake of Erik. How much would you sacrifice for others? How much would you suffer for those you love? To what lengths would you go to try and reclaim the un-claimable?
