[ Which obviously came as a disappointment, for Charles takes another pull of beer, deep enough that their second round is coming up shortly. He turns the glass between his fingers at a fidget. ]
We found Shaw trying to instigate a third world war. We stopped him, and Erik killed him, and then naval battalions of two major and opposing powers came together to wipe out our little band of mutants, Shaw's men and mine alike. Erik saved us all.
I was forced to stop him when he went to decimate them in return, which really would have kick started a third world war, only mutantkind would have been at the centre of it. We weren't trying to hurt each other, you understand, but we wanted different things, for ourselves, for other mutants.
And then [ he tips his emptied beer glass ] there was an accident. A CIA agent was trying to help me, and she shot at him. He deflected a bullet that left me paralysed from the waist down. That did stop him.
[ He finishes his beer. Frinkle forehead at the taste and amount all at once. ]
I was healed via the Tranquility, evidently. But we've been tense ever since.
