Vanish | Charles Xavier [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter Two | Professor of Genetics

"Professor of Genetics, Charles Francis Xavier."

They all exited the the hall together. Rosemary loved hearing the finished thesis, she loved listening to Charles babble on and on about mutation. It was all so fascinating to her. And finally having a clear understanding of something that was so important to her that had been such a mystery so long, only Charles was able to truly explain everything to her. That was one of the reasons she was so smitten with him.

He was holding her and Raven's hand. He wrapped his arm around Rose and kissed her temple. She smiled at her boyfriend, "so, how does it feel to be a professor?"

"Oh, don't call me that. You don't get to be called professor until you actually have a teaching position," he explained to the girl who was training to be a psychologist. She huffed and placed her head on his chest and an arm around him. He moved his hand down to her back.

"By it suits you," Raven giggled.

"Oh, don't say that. Do say "Let's go have a drink," though," he asked.

"Let's go have a drink!" Rose cheered.

"Wonderful."

As the three of them headed off to the bar that they usually hung out at, the didn't notice a woman trailing not so far behind them. It took her a while but Moira Macttagert managed to find one a good expert on genetics who could possibly help her. She slowly followed the three of them.

"Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!"

Charles was celebrating by drinking a large tub filled with beer while a group of college students cheered him on. This was probably one of the first times he did this in along time but he was having a good time drinking as much as he could as fast as he could. In the corner of his eye were Rose and Raven cheering as loud as possible. Rose was jumping up and down, she was so very giddy and so short. Even in heels she was much shorter than he rather short boyfriend. He couldn't help smile as he finished and held it up in victory.

They all started to cheer as he finished. He started to laugh to himself as he walked down and brushed his hair back with his fingers. He put the tube down and was greet d by his lovely girlfriend who walked over and gave him a quick peck on the lips, he smiled into the kiss and she started giggling because she could taste all the beer and only wonder how he wasn't already drunk and could see straight after all of that. Or how his liver didn't die.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, she laughed jokingly with a large grin, "oh, I'm so proud of you."

She pulled away and he kissed her cheek lovingly which made her giggle a bit more, he looked her in the eyes with a slight grin. "Thank you, darling. It's all in a man's will. I need another drink, I think you and Raven could use one too, go ahead and get us the drinks and I'll save us a table."

"Coming right up," she smiled before heading off.

As she walked away he cleared his throat and had a girl approach him. She looked older than some of the people there but was probably his age.

"Congratulations, Professor."

"Thank you very much. It's-It's much harder than it looks, actually," he stated holding up the tube.
