Coming Home, a x-men: the movie fanfic

Disclaimer: I do not own the X-Men movies nor the Crüxshadows and do not make any profit from these writings.

This takes place at the end of X-3. After the credits a scene plays where Charles is in the body of a person, revealed earlier in the movie to have been completely brain dead. This is just a songfic about just before Moira shows up in that scene. The song is Return (Coming Home) by the Crüxshadows and is in italics.

It turned out kinda short, but I think it fits nicely! Hope you like it!

I've seen the terrible hand of struggle
and felt the pain the hubris brings
I have tasted the wisdom of divinity
and the horror of its sting

Charles' eyes slowly opened, revealing a white room. He could hear the sound of a machine beeping nearby. Glancing around he knew this place from the video's Moira had sent him. He smiled and whispered, "It worked!"

And though they tell you i am lost
and their words report my death is come
the fates have left me breathing still
very much alive

'I'm still alive!' He thought, grateful for small miracles. He then checked to make sure he could still use his telepathy, though he was in a different body, sighing in relief when he could.

And though my mind is cut by battles
fought so long ago
I return victorious
I am coming home
And if the paths that I have followed
have tread against the flow
there is no need for sorrow
I am coming home

"Some memories may have disappeared, but that's a small price to pay." Charles mused as he moved his legs and flexing his toes, feeling them for the first time in so long.

For the distance I have traveled
upon an ocean of despair
have led me back into your arms once more
an answer to a little prayer

'Is everyone alright? What's happened? How much time has passed?' He thought, desperate to know. 'It doesn't matter, I can go home to HER!' He realized, a smile breaking out on his face. 'I know in my heart, no matter what else happened, she's alright!'

And though they tell you i am lost
and their words report my death is come
the fates have left me breathing still
very much alive

'Won't everyone be so surprised to see me? After thinking I'm dead. It took me such a long time to construct my memories into this mind, make them whole. I know my life could end in an instant, and I know, once I'm back home, I'll tell her.'

"Ororo," I started, practicing my speech to her. "I have been wanting to tell you something for a very long time now. I have been given a second chance, I can't wait any longer to tell you, for it may be too late next time. I can't die before telling you that I love you!" He whispered to the empty room. "I'm coming home, and when I do I'll tell you! And I'll never leave your side again!" His eyes closed and a smile spread across his face as he thought about seeing his beautiful Ororo again.
