And having to deal with dozens of teenagers 24/7, for decades to no end?
Screw that!!! We should let people with a masochistic streak like Charles and Hank deal with the kids, while we do literally anything else....

I mean we can just sponsor the school and only do work there part time. Like how even if we have a company we plan on doing other stuff on the side.

[X]Yes: It's alright Raven, we're not really normal, and it can't be any worse than and of our powers. Erik knows some great parlor tricks.
[X]Talk to Charles: He seems awfully knowledgeable about your… Situation? Perhaps he can shed some light on the subject. Also, why is so adamant to keep on probing your mind? Did you start some kind of competition you didn't know about? Also, he claims to be studying genetics… curious?

Lets just say that he is having a little more luck in Israel as a businessman, rather then in germany.
What skill do we need to vet potential employees?

An American Telepath in Berlin 3:
[X]No: It's okay, you don't have to if you don't want to.
You felt Charles mind at the precipice of your own as if he was ready to manipulate the memory, in case Raven took it back.
Raven looked scared as she felt, even without realizing what her power was, you knew that she was scared. She did not want to reveal what to her, only Charles knew about her.
You frowned and pushed Charles away from your mind. "It's okay Raven, you don't need to show us if you do not want to."
That made Charles look at you with a slight deflation as if he was hoping that she would choose to show her powers, or for yourself or Erik to try and persuade her otherwise.
Instead, it made Raven let out a breath, a sigh of relief she didn't even know she was holding.
She said nothing, but her gaze of thanks said everything.

Future Corporations lab was a good place as any to really sit down and try to talk to Charles. Raven was out at the Opera alone, as Charles had decided that talking to you was better than… well being with her.
Something you felt that Raven was going to owe you for because she was extremely happy when Charles stayed with you.
"Is there any reason why you decide to probe my mind? Or is it just the power of a telepath?" You asked.
Charles for his part was lost in thought before he shook his head. "Sorry, just...:" He frowned, before whipping his face with his hand. "Not used to the quiet."
"The Quiet?" You asked.
Charles sighed. "It's impossible to completely cancel out the thoughts and emotions of the rest of the world. Their voices, their thoughts, the evilness and the goodness, all unfiltered, all pushing themselves into my mind. It's why I probe, and blanket out to listen to those thoughts. If I can focus on the good, I won't have to be reminded how evil is."
You frowned. It was always evil in the world that tried to plague the good. But the Good always made the world seem perfect by comparison. "I find it easier to find the good the easier. Because goodness exists in all of us. And with few exceptions… it always wins."
You didn't want to think about the times where it didn't. But they were few. And far between.
At least within memory.
"Perhaps." Charles replied before he peeked at your equipment.
Then you felt the probe, and you've crossed your arms as he smiled. He had gotten you a gap in your defenses. "You want to know how much I really know about people like us?"
"Preferably without reading my mind without my consent." You stated.
Charles held a beaker. "Well I don't know very much about the science behind it, my father has tried to crack the science behind, as he calls it 'The Gene of powers' He believed it was the next step in human evolution."
"Was?" You asked, curious about the sudden past tense.
"He was killed in an atomic bomb explosion in New Mexico two years ago, an accident when the US Army was testing a civilian nuclear reactor." He then frowned, as he shook his head trying to avoid a painful memory.
But you pushed. "What's wrong?" You asked.
Charles took a breath. "She remarried a man my father worked with, Dr. Marko. He abused her. Me and Raven as well. Him and his son."
He stopped before you had a chance to ask. "I forced him to have a mental breakdown, and deem him unfit to be a legal guardian. My mother then shipped my stepbrother to boarding school in Scotland, while Raven and I go to one in America. And of course, we join her whenever we have the chance to travel the world."
"What does your mother do for a living exactly?" You asked.
Charles smiled. "She's a brilliant woman, truly. Though my father was the one who earned the family fortune, she has the brilliance to keep it. She is uncanny, always looking for a new opportunity in the fields of science and medicine."
"Why those industries in particular?" You asked.
Charles smiled. "She hates Stark for not getting that flying car to market. And she always uses a quote from Cicero 'In nothing do men more nearly approach the gods than in giving health to men.'"
You smiled. "She believes that we can become gods by eradicating our diseases?"
Charles shook his head. "No. She believes that giving health to others makes us become those gods, in our own way. Is that not what the Torah says? Save one life, and save the world?"
You nodded. He was right. "But you didn't answer my question on how why you wish to study how our powers came to be?"
Charles twirled around and threw a glass beaker, and you caught it, as he stopped, smiling. "That is the thing. I believe that our powers, despite seeming impossible to appear, are natural. Either by the radiation released by the atomic bombs or just through the power of our genes caused us to mutat. To adapt to change, as Darwin put it."
"Yes, but there is also the problem of how? And why." You stated.
Charles shook his head. "I don't know. It's why I want to study genetics. Perhaps somehow, I can discover the why, even it takes me the rest of my life."
You smiled. "Perhaps you will. And it will change the world."
Charles then took the beaker from your hand. "But why are you going into the pharmaceutical industry. I doubt that you may succeed, the American industry is the best in the world. You won't find any money in that."
"That's where you are wrong Charles." You smiled. "There is so much to discover, that we have barely scratched the surface of. And I wish to break the surface and go into the depth."
A Plan. A dream.
Hope.
That was what you had. And Charles seemed to have it too.

Something about this sentence feels wrong, but I'm not sure what.
Something seems wrong here.
I feel like Charles was supposed to say something between these two paragraphs.
I think you forgot to establish that Charles was talking about his mother. Granted, it's pretty obvious from the rest of what he's saying.
Either a word is missing from this sentence, or there's an extra one.

Reasoning:

Guys, We have confirmation that we can get more actions by learning the time management skill. We should try to get it as soon as possible since the sooner we get the sooner it pays for itself by having more actions to do things.
@Magoose Are we making medicine without actions or do we need an action for that?

Ok, I agree with most of these options, BUT we need money ASAP, and taking a look RL we should develop the most profitable Medicine ever before someone else does... Then we can use that money for things that are more useful for mankind.

Well there aren't any Nazis outside of prison or government... or outside the conspiracy that killed Hitler, that are currently fighting as UN Peacekeepers (Yes, the Irony there is great and thick.), Are in America, or in Argentina. Or Johan's criminal empire that is somehow growing more powerful!
Or they have downright abandoned Nazism and we need to worry about the Radical Right... Again.
But hey, at least Germany is free of the Nazi's... for now.
Uh, @Magoose? I'm not seeing anything about this in the update.
