Love Letters
It was 4:30 and no one was home yet so she went ahead with her plan to read diaries. She was kind of curious about the Professor's past, he was old, and judging by the width of the book resembling a Harry Potter novel, he had a full life. It had a weathered black leather exterior with a latch on the front resembling that of a satchel. Inside the pages were written in a fine hand in ink. Thinking he used a quill she surfed through the sections noting that his entries were a little different than that of the previous ones she read.
Moira 1945
Moira I am sorry to have to leave you. As I write I am being transported with a few other young lads who were also drafted into the Korean War to base camp. They say that there is no time to train us and that if God willed it that we might make it back home, but he seemed to have no hope. I never like to fight, you know that, and I hope that you are well. I am certain that we shall meet again.
Forever yours, Charles
Moira 1946
They have graciously decided to train us first and now many of the boys are going off to battle while I work in the med bay. As luxurious as that may sound it is a lot of work for we are always being kept busy. I have also met a friend, Eric Lencher, he has a sort of hunger for blood that I do not know. But I do not blame him for the moment he had set foot on American soil after being rescued from the concentration camps he was drafted. I always see the hate in his eyes but he is also very bright. Someday I hope that you'll meet him Miora, he will make a handsome best man for our wedding.
Rogue had no idea that the Professor had been drafted nor that he was engaged. Completely into his diary now like those strange girls who smile while reading Twilight books she pressed onward.
Moira winter 1946
As you know I can not lie to you. It is hell here. Almost all the boys who I came here with have died. Now it is just Eric and I. Last night Jim, a good friend of ours and fellow mutant had got shot in his legs and chest. He asked me if I believed, if I believed God was real or not. Eric looked at me and I looked back at them. I had always believed, but why would God punish us? What have I done, have I not suffered enough? But as I felt Jim's life passing I projected images of heaven into his head and the voices of his two dead brothers calling to him. Jim told us what he saw with tears in his eyes as he reached up to touch his brother, to touch what was really never there. Jim told us how beautiful it was and jokingly told us not to visit him up there too soon and he looked back up towards the sky as the last bit of light left his eyes. Eric's heart had hardened further at this while I had to admit that I felt the same things too, the same hatred. Why did Jim have to die? That was my second most used question besides why my mother had to die? The coronel told me he had no choice but to put me on the line. That night Eric and I vowed to keep each other alive. And as I make a vow to him I shall make one to you too. Someday soon I will return home and marry you as I promised I would long ago.
Moira 1947
I killed someone today. Just like that in cold blood. But I saved Eric. So did I do the right thing? I felt it was a yes, but at the same time I sacrificed one life to save another and I think that I am starting to go mad. Eric had gotten stuck and I ran back to go get him as the rest of my platoon fled. Eric smiled at me as I pulled him out but then I noticed a young man coming out from behind a tree. I could have used my powers to knock him unconscious. Instead I pulled the gun out of Eric's holster and shot the kid. I swore that I'd never hurt a soul and now I've token one. At camp Eric tried to reason with me but I held fast to the gun I had drawn blood with. I expected to be yelled at and beaten but my platoon congratulated me with smiles on their faces. Eric told me to ignore them but I couldn't. They were right Moira I was happy. I wanted to kill him to keep my only friend safe. But instead of celebrating I hid in a corner. The only thing that kept me sain was when they reminded me of you. You Moira, you.
Moira 1948
I deserved this. I knew this ever since the moment I killed that man last year that I deserved payback. But, I shall consider myself lucky for I only loss the use of my legs. Eric was not happy. I saved his life and he couldn't save my legs. But, that was ok. It was peaceful in the hospital area. Korea was beautiful if you excluded all the bloodshed. Or at least it was till you sent me THAT letter. How could you do that to me. Since I was injured I was going to come home early and then you sent that letter. Not only are you breaking are engagement, but you're marrying someone else. Eric warned me that this would happen. But I ignored the lack of letters and concern that they held within. All you had to do was wait for me. I was the one fighting. I was the one truly suffering and then you didn't even have the decency to return my ring to me!
Moira summer 1948
I am going home, Eric, and the rest of us. As I sat on my hospital bed limp it gave me time to think. Think that God is not punishing us. We were the ones who went to war, not him. It gave me time to realize that peace is always the better choice; I would never want anyone to ever know this type of suffering unwillingly. And Moira you taught me to forgive. As much as I hated to lose Jim and the others the loss of you was far worse. I couldn't be there for you due to the draft and you took yourself from me willingly. Life is full f choices. I will forgive you and move on and I will return home and help those who need it. Not because I have to, but because I want to

Rogue had never cried so hard in her life after she had read that. She had no idea. No idea of what he had went through. She thought that she had it hard. All she did was read a few pages and it already made her life look like a nirvana. The Professor had chosen, despite his past to make something greater of his self instead of sulking in self pity waiting for purpose to find him he went out there and found it.

P.S. : Moira and Charles were actually engaged and she did actually ditch him while he was in the service
