Professor Charles Xavier roams the halls of his darkened institution. He is checking up on his newest patient.

"Good evening Mr. Proudstar," Xavier says. "How are we doing today."

"hurm," was John Proudstar's only reply to any of Xavier's questions.

"Great. Have we had our medicine this evening?"

Proudstar raises his hand to his mouth, opens it to show Xavier the little green pills, and takes a drink of water.

"Very good. Well good night."

Xavier continues to stroll down the corridor to the next cell. He stops and checks his charts.

"Cain. How is my little brother doing tonight?"

The human Juggernaut just raises his middle finger.

"Now Cain this is not helping you any. You need to control your anger." Xavier says as he walks away.

He comes to his office and throws the chart on his desk. He takes of his lab coat and lays down on his couch. It has been a rough day. Two attempted breakouts, one by Cletus Kasady, and another by Victor Creed. Xavier needs some rest.

He begins to fall asleep when there is a knock on the door.

"Come in,"

A young girl enters the room.

"Sorry to bother you Professor, but you are needed in the Children's Wing."

"Who is it now?" Xavier says while sitting up.

"Caliban. He has one of Tabitha's toys and we can't get it back. She is throwing a fit."

Xavier gets up puts his lab coat back on and runs out the door. The girl follows close behind. They come to a door that says 'CHILD CARE' in black letters. They go in and turn a corner. A little girl is there throwing balls of energy everywhere while a big gray monster plays with a doll.

"Caliban give that doll to Tabitha this instant!" (Xavier is in no mood to deal with this.)

The giant just looks at him and continues to cradle the doll. Tabitha throws her energy balls at him but he doesn't seem to be fazed by them. They make an annoying 'Pop!' sound that is irritating Xavier.

"Caliban! Give me that doll! I am in no mood."

"But pwafessor! I'm pwayin wiff it!" Caliban whines.

"That's it. I don't want to do this but..."

Charles eyes roll into the back of their sockets and the doll floats out of Caliban's hands and into Tabitha's.

"Thank you Professor." Tabitha says.

"Pwafessor! Dat wasn't fair!" Caliban protests.

"Well I'm sorry Caliban but you should know better."

Xavier walks out the door. He walks back down the hall toward his office. He stops . He has an unsettling feeling. He turns back around and walks toward the elevator. He steps in and sticks his keycard in the hole. The doors close and the elevator moves downward. The doors open. He steps outside and walks down the hall. He comes to a door and enters his pass- code. The doors open and he walks through. A man is sitting in a chair in front of a chess board. Another "man" is hanging from the ceiling. He makes his move.

"Checkmate." says the blue beast.

"Good game, Henry. Another?" says the man.

"Sure, Bruce." replies Henry.

"Evening Gentlemen." says the Professor. "Am I interrupting?"

"Not at all Henry and I were just finishing up a game of chess." replies Bruce. "I take it you aren't here to check on us?"

"Well yes and no. I'm always interested in your newest philosophies and theories Bruce but I came to check on the ones in Solitary."

"Fair enough. See you later Professor." Bruce says as Xavier walks by.

"Good night Professor," says Henry.

"Good night Henry."

Xavier comes to another door and another hallway. This is where the bad apples are kept. Xavier passes the Observation Desk and continues to Solitary. He enters his password in the keypad and the doors open up. He enters and stands before the cells. He stops in front of the first one. He picks the chart off the wall. Lucas Bishop's bio was somewhat incomplete. Xavier could never get honest answers out of him. It was always garbage about the future and a man named Apocalypse. Next in line was Trevor Fitzroy. He came in with Bishop. Also from the future. They are a violent team: killed two guards a piece. Next was Victor Creed. He likes to refer to himself as Sabretooth. He killed a guard today trying to escape. Finally Xavier comes to the man of the hour, Cletus Kasady. He was under his bed laughing . Xavier knocked on the cell door.

"Cletus? Do you want to tell me why you tried to leave us?"

"Ha! It was the slime! It wasn't me! The red stuff told me to!" Cletus yells.

"Cletus you don't have to be so loud."

"Doc Listen to me. This stuff is driving me crazy! I have so much carnage in my mind. I'm insane. I tell ya doc it's the carrots! The carrots and the Jews! They're out to get me! Potatoes too!"

"Cletus I don't think the Jews are out to get you."

"No not the Jews, its the spiders. The spiders are evil."

"Mr. Kasady maybe you should get some rest for once."

"Ha! Can't sleep!"

Kasady jumps on top of his bed. He is riding it like a surfboard.

"Carrots away!

"Goodnight Cletus."

Xavier walks back past the screams of Bishop and Fitzroy, and past the cold stare of Victor Creed. This is truly a freak show. Who on Earth would pay to see it?
