He also has strange eyebrows. So?

It makes me sick that everyone seems to think he's the Mutant messiah or something. That son of a bitch stood by and let Magneto keep me imprisoned in that hellhole for the better part of my childhood. He did nothing. Becuase Magneto is his buddy.

I should out what he did. To his students. To everyone.

...aren't they dating?

They probably should be. Xavier already bottoms for him in every other goddamn way.

Angry today, I see.

Fucking Magneto threw me in an insane asylum for most of my childhood, and Xavier stood by and let him do it. And every time I see Xavier on the news pretending to be a shining beacon of morality I want to kill him.

Did you know Gandhi gave people enemas?

[Her eyes widen and the corner of one twitches.]

Dude, wait...what?

My point is that nobody is a saint.

Yeah, but you did it by scarring my brainmeats forever.

[Yet he has effectively broken her downward spiral with a massive WTF injection.]

Gross, right?

There's really only one mind reader I can trust, and it isn't him.

I can't even...just...OK. Your point is so taken.

He knew what happened to me throughout a good chunk of my childhood and he didn't do anything. That is why I'll never be an X-man.

Yeah, I've found him to be more of an observer than a doer. Like those people that film nature documentaries. They watch everything get slaughtered, but don't do anything to protect the young or anything.

He never claimed to be one. Hell all of us have our faults Wanda. [And feathers here is trying not to incur her wrath in his direction, last thing he wants is to meet the wall face first.]

"Nobody's perfect" speeches don't cut it this time. For the better part of a decade Magneto had me locked up in a nuthouse, drugged to the gills with my hands tied. Xavier knew. He knew what Magneto had done, he knew the conditions I was living under, he knew that it was slowly driving me crazy for real, and he never did a single thing to help or rescue me. Because Magneto is his friend.

I'm going to expose him. Everyone is going to know what he stood by and let happen.

I'm going to expose him to his students. Anyone who abets severe child abuse shouldn't be allowed anywhere around children.

Why do I have a feeling this can only end badly?

Wanda, easy okay. [He holds his hands out.] And you know I won't let you go back there. You don't even have to go to the school, if you do this, you're doing it right. None of the other kids there should be dragged into it. [Yes he's trying to figure out how to keep this from becoming a disaster. Okay, so he doesn't want Wanda hurt anymore, this one's not the one that he used to fight with, but he hates the idea of her suffering.]

I don't want other people hurt. But he has to pay. If you have a better suggestion I'm all ears. [Wanda is PISSED OFF but...she no longer goes on completely mindless vendettas.]

I just...I don't understand why this is allowed. I don't understand...how he can get to cover his ass like this.

Not particularly, no. But I'd suggest talking to Jen about it. She's good at the whole legal revenge thing.

We'll figure it out okay? [He hazards draping an arm over her shoulders and slipping his wing around her protectively.]

It'll be okay, and anyone trying to put you back in there will have to go through me.

I will. I don't want to do anything halfassed, especially when it may have unforseen consequences.
