    The year was 2028, and the hushed whispers of the "Westchester Incident" spread fear throughout the mutant community. Charles Xavier, once a celebrated hero, was now considered a weapon of mass destruction.

    Xavier's powers had always been formidable, but after developing a brain disease, they had become erratic and uncontrollable. During a seizure, he lost control, causing a devastating incident.

    This incident was not just an ordinary mishap; it was a catastrophe. Six hundred innocent lives were affected, and several mutants, including Hellion, Wind Dancer, Preview, Network, Match, Hydro, and Quicksilver, lost their lives.

    Along with them, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Rouge, Kitty Pryde, and Beast also perished. The mutant community was left in shock and mourning, their haven destroyed, their friends gone.

    Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, a sanctuary for mutants, was permanently destroyed. The place that once nurtured and protected them was now a haunting reminder of the Westchester Incident.

    The U.S. government, fearful of another incident, declared Xavier's brain a "weapon of mass destruction". The man who had once stood for peace was now branded a threat to society.

    Xavier and Logan, one of the few surviving mutants, were forced to go on the run. They found refuge near the Mexican-American border, a desolate place far from the prying eyes of the government.

    Life in hiding was tough, and the guilt of the incident weighed heavily on Xavier. He spent his days in remorse, haunted by the faces of those who had perished in the incident.

    However, Logan wouldn't let Xavier wallow in guilt. He found a way to procure medication to suppress Xavier's powers, ensuring that similar attacks would not occur.

    As weeks turned into months, they tried to create a semblance of normalcy in their lives. But the past never truly leaves, and they found themselves constantly on guard, waiting for the inevitable to happen.

    One day, a new threat emerged. An anti-mutant group discovered their location and sought to eliminate Xavier, fearing his powers. The quiet they had found was shattered.

    Logan, however, was prepared. He knew their tranquility wouldn't last forever. He had been training, preparing for the day they would have to fight again.

    The confrontation was inevitable. Despite the danger, Xavier and Logan decided to stand their ground. They would protect their sanctuary, just like they had protected the school.

    The victory, however, was bittersweet. They had defended their sanctuary, but at the cost of their peace. The fear of being discovered was once again a reality.
