Charles Xavier, head of the Xavier Institute of Higher Learning and mentor of the X-Men, had been busy in the recent days. Together with an old friend, Erik Lehnsherr, the two of them pushed the anti-human groups into action. Attacks on humans started happening all around New York City.

In Times Square the MLF appeared and started attacking the sea of people in the "Crossroads of the World". They also targeted the nearby Police and fire stations to hinder efforts to control the chaos they were creating.

Down on Wall Street the Brotherhood started attacking the bankers and investment brokers.

Leading the attacks on humans were Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr.

Mutants attacking humans prompted responses from anti-mutant groups such as the Friends of Humanity, the Church of Purity and other pro-human groups.

The streets of New York quickly became a battleground between humans and mutants.

It was a few days before the big dinner back in Genosha, as if she wasn't nervous enough - but Charlotte had an important appointment to keep and there was *no* way she'd cancle on this man. Her entire life, people had talked about Charles Xavier like he was either the boogie man or santa clause and now she was meeting him herself for the first time. Her father's one time best friend, some times ally, more often than not enemy. She didn't know what to expect, honestly, was rather suprised he even bothered to return her phone call she'd put in to his school. Had their roles been reversed - she might not have taken the call.

But he had, and they'd both agreed, with equal amounts of chagrin that perhaps, it would be better to me off the school grounds, so there she waited, a good half hour early in a quaint little coffee shop, foot bouncing from nerves and her half drunk mocha as she fiddled and shuffled with papers.
