#which is quite special considering how many of charles' relationships eventually get strained

plot ideas: some krakoa council drama, a disagreement maybe? or maybe something with a little bit of action? oooor... Perhaps Cassandra Nova shows up in Krakoa somehow? ¬__¬

@bothsidesofaquestion // plot ideas you really want to try with my muse // accepting.

honestly... it's surprising that there hasn't been a more consequential disagreement that has, y'know, some meaningful effect on the plot that makes sense.

but ho boy, if cassandra somehow returns ------- charles will shoot his own brains out to stop her from taking over cerebro. he threatened it during his first run-in with cassandra ... he was serious about it then, and he will act on it now. perhaps even preemptively, not even giving her a chance to test him. because the stakes are that much higher now -- his mind is no longer just a tracking device, but a storage unit, holding information of EVERY MUTANT ON EARTH, not to mention sensitive krakoa state secrets and secret/sacred knowledge about the future given to him by moira---

we saw how the destruction of genosha affected him. he will absolutely off himself before allowing even a chance of it happening again to krakoa.

but this is where it could get interesting ...

death is rather... impermanent on krakoa. and charles, for all of his willingness to go to the extremes to prevent his own mind from being weaponized by the enemy, is too proud to be truly suicidal. and he has always the care for his students and mutants; he wouldn't leave them entirely alone to fend against cassandra -- especially knowing what she’s capable of.

what could possibly happen here --- is him finding a way to be resurrected without his powers. knowing charles fucking xavier, he probably already has a protocol for this exact situation. and he will find a way to share this with only his most trusted confidants, which will include kurt. perhaps he's resurrected without his powers in secret and seeks kurt out to help him stop cassandra, or kurt is tasked with secretly resurrecting charles that way to begin with.

either way, they will have to work together on the down-low, since the more people know about charles' return, the more likely cassandra could find out and plan her defense. it would be a secret mission, and lots of opportunities for character growth and relationship development!
