Summary: Charles sees the events of the missile crisis and subsequent weeks when he uses Cerebro to touch the mind of a mutant with the power to see the near future. When he wakes up he is determined that he will not allow them to happen and he will not lose the people he loves.

Review: This is essentially a "what-if-Charles-knew-what-would-happen" fix-it, based on the latest X-men movie. For those of you who haven't seen the movie, it's essentially a reboot of the series (think Star Trek XI, made to breathe new life into ancient material) that tells the backstory of the X-men franchise from the very beginning.

Charles Xavier (aka Professor X, later leader of the X-men) and his group of mutants are originally recruited by the Government and in this fix Charles realizes that that is the exact moment where everything started to go terribly wrong and sets out to put things right.

I really enjoyed this story, and if you're not opposed to a bit of kink (and some ingenious mutant-power-related bondage) then you're in for a fun ride by one of the more prolific fic authors that I know of (you may have read her HP fics and Crossovers almost a decade ago).
