CHAPTER 3. OXFORD MAN

Charles Francis Xavier attends Oxford University in England. He studies genetics and general medicine. He has a 4.0 and is one of the leading minds in his field of study. He is also best friends with John Grey a fellow student. Charles has a wild side and likes to compete in drinking games at the local pub near the University. He often wins and today is no different; "Drink! Drink! Drink!" The other students around him chant.

Charles roars, "Victor!" they cheer then they disperse.

"How can someone so brilliant be so juvenile?"

Charles puts his arm around John, "You say juvenile my friend…I say having a good time and loosening up…Now if you will excuse me I see a blonde with my name on her…" As Charles walks away John shakes his head, "I can feel your negative head gesture without looking back…"

Later Charles brings the young woman back to his dorm room, "My dear we must be quiet or we will wake my stick in the mud roommate…"

"We can go back to your car…"

"I give my word he will…sleep until morning…" Charles says the last part putting the thought in John's mind and he spends the night with the young woman. "Wake up!" Charles screams in the morning.

John stirs, "What time is it…"

"Seven thirty my friend…You have thirty minutes to get ready before class starts…"

John looks at him, "How come you aren't hung over…"

"Endorphins from my brain push out the negative effects of alcohol allowing me to perform at tip top condition…"

John looks at him, "I hate you…"

HUMAN GENETIC MUTATION

BY: CHARLES FRANCIS XAVIER

Life is always changing growing evolving in new ways. It is called the X-Gene and while many in the medical community have tried to deny the existence of the X-Gene there have been documented cases to support the fact that there is a growing sub-species of human in the world today. These mutants or homosapien-superiors live among us. There is even evidence to support the fact that mutants have been around as far back as the early 1200 B.C. Furthermore one must look back to prehistoric man The Neanderthal ruled the earth for quite some time, but the appearance of his more evolved kin homosapien bought on the extinction of the Neanderthal…

Charles and Jon walk side by side out of school. "I can't believe they are going to publish your thesis…"

"I can let's celebrate…"

"Oh no you are coming with me there is someone I want you to meet…" When they arrive at a restaurant a woman is waiting, "Charles Xavier…meet the woman of my dreams Elaine Rullen...Elaine my best friend Charles Xavier…" They shake hands.

"It is an honor to finally meet you…" A year after Charles and John graduate John and Elaine marry. Charles is the best man at the wedding.
