85 parts Complete Charles Xavier was never meant to be a father, but when the CIA entrusts him with a fragile, frightened little girl named Charlotte, he swears to protect her. Small and quiet, with storm-grey eyes that hide a world of fear, Charlotte clings to Charles as her only safe harbour. In a world too cruel to understand her, he is her shelter, her constant.
But fragility is not freedom.
As the years pass after Cuba, their bond grows suffocating. Charlotte needs him, and Charles needs to be needed. She doesn't leave him like the others did. She cannot. She will not. She is his constant, his reason, his refuge. But safety is fragile-like glass, it can crack.
When Erik Lehnsherr unfortunately returns, he finds a terrified child, too afraid to look him in the eye, too devoted to Charles to question the world he has built around her. Charlotte has become a ghost, hidden in the shadow of a man who cannot bear to lose her.
And Erik? Erik intends to shatter the glass.
