Summary: "And I will always be there, old friend." Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr, from beginning to end.

He doesn’t speak German anymore, if he can help it. Everything he wants to say, he says in English. He made the decision a long time ago.

Charles encounters a young mutant with an unsettling power.
