Okay, so I… went a bit experimental with this. I think because the theme of the prompt was story-telling I wanted to tell stories the way we do could recording technology dominates our lives and-OKAY ANYWAY OP I HOPE THIS IS ALRIGHT. It will get more Erik/Charles involved as it goes on, and I may go back to regular prose by then.

Frost: We need to talk.
Lensherr: About what?
F: About Prisoner 719.
L: [silence]
F: Erik, the word from the courts is that you’re thinking of giving him a presidential pardon. I have a dozen ministers, half the PR crew and six of my favourite mutant supremacy lobbyists breathing down my neck right now, all asking me to go behind the scenes and work my magic with you. Don’t make me let them down, Erik.
L: This is not the decision of lobbyists. I show mercy to whomever I wish. Xavier is too much a symbol of the pro-humans-
F: Which is why he needs to be wiped from the face of the earth. Publicly.
L: We don’t need him to become a martyr. Not now.
F: The police scandal will die down with time. Xavier’s rhetoric will only die with him.
L: He was nothing but a vandal before he was arrested. He’s only in the spotlight because we put him in the spotlight.
F: Don’t give me this bullshit, Erik! I know! I’m a damn telepath and I have been by your side for nine ( ... )

Sorry for the long, long, long wait on this! My last fill took longer than expected, and writing this one has been fun but really slow. And I cheated a bit on some of the ‘historical texts’ which are clearly just told in regular prose. Hope you don’t mind first person, OP.

Excerpts from interviews with Deputy Lance "Avalanche" Petrakis, officer of the Civil Peace Unit from 1966 - 1973"That year was a weird one, wasn’t it? But just before it started getting weird, everything was… glorious, I guess you’d call it. I was a rookie then, I didn’t have anyone left I gave two ticks about. I joined the corps because I loved my country and I wanted a chance to use my powers to break some human legs. I guess the second part’s why they stuck me in the Peace Unit ( ... )

“We bust into this attic in a big old town house, in a rich-snob area where all the gardens have spiked fences around them. The house turned out to be owned by some mutant businessman, Worthington or something, boy I don’t even want to know what happened to him. They’d been moving the lessons around every week - school lessons for human kids, see. They weren’t supposed to be getting schooling beyond ten, or be able to do more than basic arithmetic or any history. But these idiots, they were teaching ‘em and training ‘em up to become a new generation of bombers and criminals. Idiots. Don’t they know humans are just trouble by nature ( ... )

Typed Confession leading to Conviction, Prisoner #719, dated 10-August-1967, PROPERTY OF CENTRAL PRISON ARCHIVES, DO NOT REMOVE

I confess to collaboration with human enemies of the state, to training enemies of the state, to treason and conspiring towards terrorism. I confess to inciting anarchy against the law and against social order. I confess to aiding and abetting criminal activities including battery, prevention of the arrest of criminals, arson and disorderly conduct. I confess to assault and battery of a Civil Peace Unit officer. I confess to using my mutant abilities unlawfully against other mutants, including mind control over Armando "Darwin" Munoz, Alex "Havoc" Summers, and Warren "Angel" Warrington (III).

I am aware that treason and mind control of other mutants constitutes a capital crime. I confess openly, of my own will. I rescind the right to a trial, the right to consult with a lawyer, and the right appeal against this sentence.

Signed,

Charles Francis Xavier[Prison records show that Mr Muñoz, Mr Summers and Mr ( ... )

“Have you eaten this evening?” I asked, taking off my gloves. It had been cold in the street, and I had walked from the government buildings. I liked to see the city at night.

“No, Mr President,” he answered. He didn’t move from where he had arranged himself comfortably on the sofa, one leg propped up beside him. His eyes did not leave me once as I went to the phone and ordered fruit, cold meats and tea to the rooms.

“So,” I settled myself on the couch opposite him, one legged crossed over the over. “I suppose you’re wondering why you’re here.”

“Not really,” he said, as if this was some progress report over a project we shared. Perhaps that was what he considered it to be. The project being the entire of Genosha, of course.

“Oh?” I raised an eyebrow.

“I am a mind reader ( ... )

just--this--what!? This is so good, I'm incoherent. fuck. You've created this entire WORLD and with such ease, it's actually astonishing...I love that Charles and Erik are "bonded" as it adds such a complex layer to everything that's happening...and Charles' confession that he mind controlled Alex and Darwin and Warren so that they would go free... And Charles helping the humans, who, holy shit, are completely persecuted--GAH! so good!!!
