Evidence shows that Charles had a second, latent mutation that caused rapid cellular regeneration, which healed his brain moments after it was damaged and reversed any physical damage dealt to him along with premature aging.

Prompt 4: Multi-chaptered. Focused on Character development through interactions and thoughts. Plays with the theory “What if Magneto was the one who traveled back to his youth before he escaped from Shaw’s clutches?” Tears trailed down Erik Lehnsherr’s face. The old man smothered a sob into his pillow in his cell. It was all his fault. He had turned Dark Phoenix on Charles Xavier. Charles had died, along with Erik’s heart. This unrequited love that had haunted Erik for the last forty-seven years burned in his chest, clawed at his throat. After the final confrontation and his loss of abilities, he couldn’t hide his pain, his grief and his hatred for himself any longer. He had fought for what he believed would save mutants from mankind, only to forsaken the only person he loved. He had tried to commit suicide, but perhaps they pitied him or it was Charles’s last request… the X-Men had saved him and imprisoned him in a cell where he could not hurt himself. They’d even had Hank look after him.

There was a soft knock on the glass of his prison. Erik turned, much to his surprise meeting the face of a young child, perhaps twelve years old? The girl’s hair was pulled into messy pigtails. She was dressed in pink pajamas and she carried a raggedy old Teddy bear. “Yes,” Erik asked quickly drying his tears, “What can I do for you?” it was unexpected. He was in the lowest level of the school and no one, but the established X-Men knew where his cell was located. How had this little girl found him?

“You miss him. You miss him more than you have ever let on. He was everything to you. You would’ve stopped your campaign against humankind if only he had asked.” The little girl said, “However, he did ask. He cried in his heart. He loved you… much like how you loved him. He was scared that you didn’t love him as he loved you. He told me that you asked him to never read your mind, so he didn’t. He died loving you.” Tears were once more pouring down Erik’s cheeks.

“What’s your ability?” Erik asked already having some clue.

The girl smiled a gap tooth grin, “I am astral projection of the collective energies of my comatose body. Charles saved me. He didn’t Papa pull the plug, said he’d take me in and research a cure.” This was not what Erik had expected, “I am empathic and mildly telepathic, but those are only temporary gifts while I am in a coma.” The girl turned suddenly serious, “What would you give to see Charles again?” She asked.

“Anything.” Erik whispered.

“Would you be erased from history and sent in an alternative dimension? A dimension where things could turn out differently?” the girl asked urgently, “Where Charles could become your Charles?”

“Can you do that?” Erik asked wistfully, his voice filled with such longing.

“Yes, but are you willing?” the girl asked.

“Yes. I love Charles. I would give everything to rid myself of my past mistakes.” Erik said.

“Very well,” the girl said, “Goodnight Erik Lehnsherr.” Erik slumped forward as if he was a puppet with his strings cut. Glassy eyes stared up at the ceiling. He was dead.

TIPS for Stories:

• Character Development – try not to speed through the story, develop the characters whether interactions between allies, friends and enemies or their own self-doubts and memories. When using character development set up a character profile and involve detailed information about your character’s personalities. Don’t go with the flow, stand out! Remember, make a character one no one will forget – Ex: for those who have watched House Md., Dr. Gregory House was a snarky asshole, but you’ll always remember him. Don’t write your typical all-around American hero unless you intend to poke fun at him or her. Make them unique. Make them coarse or flirtatious, rugged, roguish or any number of qualities that make them more human – thus giving the readers the ability to relate to your characters and full enjoy them. I recommend including thoughts for your characters in italics to give them depth.
• Character Accents – If you’re character has got an accent and you want to mimic it in your writing, try renting an Audio Book, Full Dramatization with a cast from the Author’s native country from your local library. EX: for a British accent, I borrowed “The Old Curiosity Shop” by Charles Dickens which was done in full dramatization.
• Speed of the Developing Story – Slow down. A fast paced story might hold the attention of readers for a little while, but if you develop the story slowly – not a day in four chapters, but maybe one chapter, if you want – the reader will become more enthralled. Try writing in present tense, it noticeable pulls in the reader
• Weave the story – Don’t focus solely on one Genre like Romance or Adventure. Involve all kinds of plotlines. In one of my stories I am writing from three very different worlds – Magical World, Ninja World and the Muggle World, each have their own theme and story, but they will combine and intertwine further along in the series. I have always wondered why no one, when sending Harry into the past during the Captain America film era, doesn’t have Harry infiltrate Grindelwald’s ranks to help bring down the cooperative efforts between Red Skull and Grindelwald?
• Fan Fiction Traps – A lot of Authors fall into the rut of fan fiction themes like Severitus (Snape and Lily are Harry’s parents). Sure that’s great and all, but what if Severus takes Harry in as his son and under disguise both spy on Voldemort, while Neville is the-boy-who-lived? I am not say don’t use them – just get creative! Innovation and Creativity, I really admire.
• Don’t tell us, convince us – Don’t tell your readers a character is very smart and clever. Show us how they are smart and clever. After all the old adage is actions speak louder than words. Furthermore, don’t skip out by just say, oh Peter got an A+ on his test? Maybe Peter Parker created a complex strategy that completely surprises your audience to defeat a super villain and no knew he did it until the very end?
• Long Chapters Vs Short Chapters – it is my opinion that if you’re going to update quickly, most likely weekly, chapters can be shorter (5,000+ words), but if you’re going to update once a month or every other month make the chapter significantly longer (15,000-25,000+ words). I personally prefer longer chapters and frequent updates, but I know there is real life and that is unrealistic to expect of someone.
