Distance [Charles/Alex]

The joke about repression actually earned a small smile from the professor. He shook his head a little and let the new student think things through. Charles could hear how quickly Alex was shifting thoughts, the emotional levels were like tidal waves with no end in sight.
"How so?" Xavier asked him. "It means you can be your best. Feel your best. You don't have to suffer or be scared to be different, that maybe you can be comfortable in your own skin. If you put the work in." Charles let that sit with the boy. "You don't have to be a hero, but you shouldn't just be getting by either. For now, get to know the school, go to some classes and try to let yourself relax. Come find me if you need help. The library is my favorite, but if you need to let off some steam the gym is nearly indestructible. It's always a work in progress."
