Bad Day

Ororo was watering the plants in the mansion's garden as usual, but unlike a typical day where she uses her powers, today she decided to use the watering can, and take her time. The sun was shining and the birds were singing, it seemed like today would be a good day.

Humming a happy tune, Ororo continued with his daily chores, but today an extra person would come to the table, so she had to prepare an extra dish. With everything ready Ororo went to the professor's room like every morning

"Charles, I'm going to enter"

Ororo walked in as usual, but unlike Charles's usual appearance, he wore an expression of dismay as he spoke on the phone.

After a minute Ororo heard the professor, "I have to go out for a moment" Charles said to Ororo as he cut his call.

Ororo rarely saw that expression in Charles, so it was impossible to leave him alone, "if something happened, I'll go with you"

Charles calmed his emotions by recovering his usual expression "it is not dangerous, but the tension between mutants and humans could increase again, and I was called to offer my help in that situation"

Charles heard from Fury what had happened a few hours ago, but what shocked him was how far Alex had gone with his actions.

Ororo wanted to hear the full story, but Charles knows that she doesn't really like Alex, so it wasn't wise to stoke that enmity.

"It will be a small meeting, to decide the way forward, and they want my help" Charles decided not to enlarge the matter too much, and as for the meeting, although he was totally against Alex's way of acting, Charles still knew that boy never started a fight, so he will try to stop this pointless hunt, especially since it seemed like the point came where Alex couldn't be stopped.

Ororo trusted the professor, and although she felt that the professor was not telling the whole truth, there should be a good reason.

With all said, Charles rushed to leave, but when the car hit the road, he found an old acquaintance.

____

Fury aged several years in just a few hours. The mission totally failed, and although the mutant disappeared into the sea, that would be good news, since the possibility that Alex died from his injuries existed and was quite likely, but with all that seen So far, Fury has a hunch that that mutant is not only still quite alive, but also figured out how to avoid being tracked down.

And although everything seemed to have calmed down, since his stupid superiors prefer to believe that Alex died, but once that mutant makes his appearance again, a whole new hell breaks loose, that's why Fury contacted Professor Charles Xavier, and if That man had a way of finding Alex and being able to eliminate him before he recovers from his injuries, so Fury won't mind owing him any favors. And with so many things on his mind, Fury was interrupted by his cell phone.

"What do you want" Fury couldn't help but raise his voice without checking first.

"It looks like you're busy, so I'll call later."

Fury recognized that voice, so he changed his tone, "excuse me for that Charles, but I have many things on my mind, but what is the reason for your call, we had a meeting in a few hours"

From the other side of the cell phone, a Charles was heard with his usual calm tone "I was calling you because something happened and I won't be able to make it to our meeting"

"Charles ....." Fury whispered, although he was being polite, Nick Fury was still the boss of SHIELD, and he couldn't accept that kind of deal.

Knowing Fury's behavior, Charles continued, "Although we can't meet, I think I understand the situation quite well, and I think I have a solution."

A few hours before that call, Charles had to stop his trip, when meeting an old acquaintance.

The telepath immediately sent the conduit to sleep, as Charles recognized the silver-eyed subject who was stopping, and acting in the most informal way, Charles opened the door inviting his uninvited.

"Because you don't come in and take a seat, it looks like you have something to say," Alex was not polite, since he didn't mind staining the seats with blood.

"It seems that you had a difficult day if you came to visit me" although Charles spoke calmly, anyone could detect a clear tone of disappointment.

Alex's face was quite thick and he did not care, "You are right, not every day they try to kill you with a nuclear bomb, but not everything is bad, my powers had a great advance, although now I am not sure if I will be able to have children , or if a cancer would kill me first, but those are problems for me from the future, for now I came because of the invitation you promised me, and it would also be great if you could lend me your infirmary, as you can see, I have some blows "

Charles saw that Alex was wearing a rather large jacket, but it was obvious that the wounds were not small, since the smell of blood was heavy.

And although Charles would never deny help to someone in need, Alex's situation was quite special, especially for his actions the last 5 years. "My invitation still stands, and although it may cost me my life, I have to say that your behavior goes beyond the irrational, and it is time for you to stop" 5 years ago Charles could not even imagine how far things will go, but it was time to be firm.

"If you want my help you will have to fulfill my conditions, and I will not back down from any threat" Charles was serious enough, and he did not mind bothering a mutant who could kill him in seconds.

On Alex's side, he felt a little offended since he does not perceive himself as an irrational person, the silver-haired only remembers having done some minor crimes such as robberies, and everything else was legitimate defense.

But as someone who was asking for a favor, as long as it's not annoying, Alex didn't really care. "Anyway, but let's hurry, I'm thinking very seriously about destroying my nerves" that was no joke, since now Alex was like a doll with broken ropes, and his powers did everything, because his body was on the edge.

Charles breathed a sigh of relief "You're currently considered a dead man, so I guess you figured out a way to avoid being tracked, and I hope things stay that way, from now on you will stay at my school and keep a low profile"

Alex really didn't want to stay too long, but the other option was to go make a mess of a hospital, since someone has to close the hole in Axel's chest, and although lying to Charles was simple, keeping his word was one of the few things that Alex was proud of.

"I can't accept all that, but I really don't mind hiding, I don't think they will ever use atomic bombs against me again, so my next goal is to train in space" Alex wanted to create a black hole, and the earth was not a good place, so as long as humans don't do something interesting for a good battle, then Alex wasn't interested.

Charles thought about it very seriously, and although Alex committed too many sins, it was the best solution at the moment. And although Charles still wants Alex to go to school, this was already a first step.

"Before I forget, there is currently only one student, and I am sure you will be able to get along with her." Charles knew that Alex was cruel in dealing with problems, but he never started a fight, so it was not a dangerous person.

Hearing Charles's words, a little girl came to Alex's mind, "You mean Marie?" The first thing Alex thought was that that girl should be quite upset that he abandoned her without saying much.

Charles frowned when he remembered that topic, "it is not her, 5 years ago we followed your instructions where we found the cabin where you lived, but it was empty, it seemed that they took the minimum before leaving"

Now Alex was in doubt, as it seemed that Irene's predictions were going in the wrong direction, or maybe it was what Irene wanted. But it was a small matter, so Alex's attention returned to Charles.

"The new mutant is named Jean, her powers woke up two days ago, and she's had trouble getting used to it because she can't control her powers, but I think you won't have any problems"

Alex didn't think too much, though the idea of ​​fighting the phoenix

It sounded quite exciting, but patience, that Alex knew that with his current strength it was impossible to face her, but perhaps in the future.
