17 year old Carl Grimes has witnessed his father's death. He is haunted with nightmares from that night and suffers from insomnia. Ever since that night, he hasn't been the same, and the people in the prison have noticed. He is afraid he is suffering from mental issues and has a rough time communicating with people. But going on a run with Daryl and Michonne changes his life.

Taking place after the events of X-Men: First Class (a bit of an AU), a mutant named Susan tells her story of survival. Through memories of her past, her power, and meeting Professor Xavier, she weaves her tale to her fate. CharlesXOC
