    Summary

    Charles had braced himself for the pain. He knew that when Erik would push the coin through Shaw's head that he would inadvertently push it into his. He knew that he would feel the slow, torturous drag of metal through his skin, his brain tissue, his mind. He had even prepared for the heartbreak and the betrayal, because once Erik had put on Shaw's helmet, Charles's heart had already shattered to pieces.

    But when Charles's mind was fractured by the coin, he hadn't been prepared to lose a part of himself he could not bear to live without.

    Because without a mind he had no telepathy, and without telepathy, Charles was...

    Human.

     

    Or: Charles loses his telepathy after Cuba, and all the pain that follows.
