    Summary

    REWRITTEN: Hello All, I'd written myself into a wall with the first version of this chapter and couldn't go anywhere with the series. So this is a rewritten, edited version of the first chapter that'll hopefully help me on my way. I'm loathe to lose all the earlier comments on here :( But it doesn't look like this edit can be helped.

    Months after the events of THE REPUBLIC OF STARS, Charles Xavier is struggling to hold onto his sanity. Tagged as a human sympathiser, he has no legal or constitutional rights in the First Mutant Regime; not even to his own powers. To make matters worse, this allows Erik Lehnsherr, the leader of the First Mutant Regime, to take his obsession to its heights. He is kept captive in his own apartment as Erik's unwilling companion and lover. His only hope for escape lies in the precarious and dangerous alliance he strikes with the rebel Mystique and her double agent, Betsey Braddock. When an old enemy resurfaces and uses Charles as a pawn in their battle, will he be able to find a way to survive, to plan his bid for freedom with the young Jean and Ororo under his care; or will Erik's retaliation sabotage his desperate efforts?
