Inside what used to be Xavier's mansion, now housed a new school called Washington-Xavier school for gifted children. It was already a fully advanced facility for mutant kids.
Now Charles' job was to find these kids. Though he didn't allow Charles to mentally manipulate Jean this time, rather than making her suppress the memories, he made Charles teach her in a mirror dimension created by Moony, the boy was a teacher too after all.
In fact, Moony was the best teacher for students with problematic powers that were too strong. In Mirror dimensions, nothing exists other than those put inside. So Jean wasn't able to hear messy voices while training and could regularly take naps there.
With good mental health, she picked Charles' training in no time. With this, Charles decided to find more mutant children under distress.
...
Hector was utterly bored. Being president was fun when there were challenges, now there were none. The world seemed peaceful, the American occupation of Germany and Japan had long ended, only Vietnam's was still ongoing, North Korea too.
USSR tried many times to spread its wings in South America but they couldn't. Hector made sure their governments were capitalists and no communists came into power.
Howard Stark and nearly 120 other industrialists hated Hector to the core. But despite that, entrepreneurship was much on the rise with the right economic policies. Taxation was decided based on percentage. The maximum tax rate for personal income was 35%, this was for those earning more than 50,000(234,089$ today) a year.
Companies had a similar thing going on but they couldn't get tax rebates if they hired more American workers instead of shifting their production outside the country.
He also acted in the hit movie Star Wars. And soon after, the election for Hector's 10th term came. He once again swooped the country clean, but he saw a trend. In a few states, particularly from where the angered industrialists came from, the voting share had dropped.
But in the end, he won all electoral votes due to his ultimately successful policies, reforms and wars won. America was not just a land of opportunity and a nation of freedom, but also a nation of justice.
Hector had made every American feel a sense of pride, that yes, they are good guys who bring goodness to the world. But he continued to do his Smart America programme so his fellow citizens don't become dumb. The new education system was already teaching the kids about the true history and the world, he also promoted critical thinking. And of course, reducing conspiracy theories.
But in 1976, Hector decided to stop trying to win elections. He was tired and bored. He's been doing it for years.
...
He got on his motorbike and drove to the special school. He was a regular here and even taught kids.
Hector was a man who was idolised by people of all generations. His name was taken with legends such as Genghis Khan and Alexandra the Great. But of course, his name had more value because he didn't commit genocides.
"Haha, how are my little munchkins? Are you studying well?" He asked the group of 10 kids. This was the first batch. Their teachers were Charles, Erik, Raven, Moony and Henry MacCoy. Logan also came from time to time to give physical exercise training.
Jean quickly came running and hugged him, she was just 10 years old, "I heard Moony has been teaching you his art of howling these days?"
"Grandpa, he says it's the best stress-buster, an-and whenever you are cold it can help." She tried to tell him everything. nove(l)bi(n.)com
He chuckled, ruffling her hair, "Good girl. But Moony also has a habit of licking himself clean, I hope you don't take that up and keep bathing like humans."
She rolled her eyes, "Come on, I'm not a dummy. I'm a smart, 10-year-old lady. I can also recite multiplication tables from one to hundred."
Moony, Logan and Hector got into a car and headed out to reach this orphanage. He also made sure to keep the Skull Knight H ready.
"You got your claws sharp, boy?"
"Wuf"
"Yup"
Hector laughed, "I was asking Moony but I guess this is also fine,"
Logan grunted. He hated being treated like a soft man. "Who is this Mister Sinister?"
"A man from 19th century gained immortality and various powers, mad about science. Can basically control his body on a molecular level. Plus everything Charles and Jean can do with mind control." He gave them a crash course as he drove.
~Dad, can I get ice cream after the fight?~ Moony innocently barked.
"Of course, you can, dear boy. You've been a good teacher I heard." Hector ruffled his head.
Moony too made happy noises and went back to his immortal biting war with the air outside the running car.
....
The three reached the orphanage disguised. He sent Logan inside first to check the grounds. Meanwhile, Hector tried to sense the evil. Although Mister Sinister didn't have occult evil powers, the man was still evil, and all evil people have a presence.
"Moony, your job is to trap Mister Sinister and me in a mirror dimension when I start fighting him." He ordered.
He could see parents entering and leaving the place. Some kids were happy and some sad. The place was a real orphanage on the surface as a disguise.
Hector put an illusion on himself to look like an upright smart old man, not as tall. He walked into the building, "I would like to adopt someone,"
He knew that he just needed to say one name to bring out the man. The receptionist smiled and gave him a form, "Have you seen the children?"
"Oh yes, his name is Scott Summers. He's supposed to be here with his little brother."
And as expected, her face muscles tightened.
