An alarm clock rang throughout the hospital room. Charles groaned and threw the thing across the room. It was two in the morning. It instantly shattered into a million pieces after hitting the brick wall. He was on his side, facing the window. There were a ton of monitors in the way, so he could not see out of the window. He wanted to see the starry night sky, but he could not. Charles once tried asking the doctor to move the monitors so he could at least see out of the window, but the doctor had refused. Charles had decided that it was best not to manipulate the doctor's mind so that he got his way, he wasn't like that. He had never been like that.
Charles was crying, after the first few weeks everyone, Moira, Hank, Alex, and even Sean had stopped coming to visit. This left Charles alone and a bit depressed. The one person he wanted to see visit had killed Shaw and it wouldn't be safe for either him or Charles to visit.
"Mr. Xavier, you have a visitor," a nurse said, jerking Charles from his thoughts and back into reality.
"Let them in," Charles said, hoping that maybe a visitor would cheer him up.
The blonde haired boy walked into the room, a small smile on his face.
"Hello Alex," Charles said, trying to hide how weak he felt that moment.
"Hey Professor," Alex responded.
"How is everything back at the hotel," Charles asked, trying to avoid any other conversation.
"It's just great. Sean wouldn't come, Hank said something about genetic engineering with a sample of Raven's blood, I just needed something to do besides sitting in a tiny room, I've done that enough," Alex responded.
"Does Moira know you're here," Charles asked.
"She has no clue that I'm even out of the room. She thinks I'm asleep," Alex responded.
Charles shook his head.
"You'd better get back before you get in trouble," Charles said.
"Alright, see you later, Professor," Alex said, getting up to leave.
He walked down the street and back into the hotel room, only to be confronted by Moira, who to say the least was not happy.
"Where the hell have you been," Moira asked.
"Calm down lady, I just went to visit the professor," Alex said.
Moira walked away, not even bothering to say anything else to the blonde teenager. Alex growled and walked upstairs to the room where he was greeted by Sean.
"Hey Sean, what's up," Alex smiled.
"How did your visit with the Professor go," Sean asked.
"It was nice, I guess. If you count the fact that he seems a little derpy," Alex responded.
"Is derpy even a word," Sean asked.
"A ginger, a felon, and a nerd walk into a bar…," Alex started.
"Alex, you know we're not supposed to tell those jokes," Sean scolded.
"What it wasn't the dirtiest joke I have," Alex laughed.
"I'm going to talk to mommy," Sean smiled.
"Be sure to tell Moira or she'll rip your head off after you get back," Alex said.
Sean nodded and walked out of the small hotel room, then saw Moira. He took off running towards the woman. He tackled her.
"Hey Moira, I'm going to go talk to mommy," Sean said as he ran towards the hospital.
In all reality, he wouldn't have given Moira any time to say otherwise. Even if she did say anything, he would've snuck down the fire escape later after lunch. Sean stopped just short of the hospital and put a smile on his face. In all reality, he was a bouncy ball of sunshine, who always managed to cheer Charles up. Sean walked behind the front desk and went through the doors, then into the elevator and pressed the button for the 4th floor. It didn't take but 5 minutes before the elevator stopped. Sean bounced down the hall to the nurse's desk.
"Hello, how may I help you," Nurse Emilia asked.
"I'm looking for Charles Xavier," Sean replied, having a hard time resisting calling him mommy.
The nurse led Sean to Charles' room.
"Mr. Xavier, you have another visitor," the nurse said before leaving.
Sean walked into the room and sat in the chair beside the bed.
"Hello Sean," Charles said, his eyes suggested that he was far off in other places.
"Hey mommy," Sean smiled.
"Does Moira know you're here," Charles asked.
"Yeah, she knows. I more or less tackled her, and then ran away before she could say any different," Sean replied.
Charles laughed for the first time since he had landed in Miami. Sean always managed to cheer him up somehow. They laughed and joked before the doctor came into the room.
"You're going home tomorrow," the doctor said.
Charles' eyes didn't change from the 'derpiness' that they were before. Sean brightened more, his being a bouncy ball of sunshine, Charles thought that was impossible. Sean was on his way back to the hotel room with news of tomorrow, smiling as brightly as ever. Charles was happy to be going home, but he wanted to see Erik, who by now no one knew just where he was.
