Summary
The violence comes from a combination of giving up, not caring, and a resignation that getting past it is all you can hope to accomplish. So you kill the hour.
— Mark Z. DanielewskiEveryone is born with a genetic Indication determining their Dominant or submissive score. Those lower on the scale are naturally inclined to defer to those higher. Charles Xavier is one of the 27 global population of D5s, hyper-Dominant Sentinels that can use vocal persuasion to make anyone, of any score, do anything.
Erik Lehnsherr happens to be his generation's first recorded S1, a hyper-submissive Guide and the only Indication capable of resisting a D5 and retaining their own agency. Some stories start out inevitable. And while there are sparks, there is also one small caveat:
Erik Lehnsherr is in a CIA detention facility after blowing up a government building, the Shaw Institute, in a terrorist attack and killing 10 scientists. Forensic psychiatrist Charles Xavier has been assigned by Moira MacTaggert to assess Erik. Shards of the mirror Natura—Erik is S1, Charles is D5.
