CHERIK FIC RECS

Angst (multiple levels of angst)

too close to the sun, by joshriku: 3, 683 words, charles pov, canon compliant to Jean Grey #1 (2023) (i think it's better to read the issue first, but it's not really necessary)

Jean Grey erases Magneto's mind - or so she thinks. When Charles finds his body, he brings it back to the mansion, and begins the arduous task of putting Erik's mind together. Of course, when it comes to Erik and persevering, it's always a lot more effective than he expects.

To Breathe Again (Impossibilities Remix), by Unforgotten: Erik's pov from the original movies timeline. The old men are old!!! It's a 3,879 words oneshot and it's beautiful

After Liberty Island, you think you must have burned that bridge at last. After Alkali Lake, you're even more certain. What once seemed so easy is now an impossibility, and the dream that once plagued you no longer comes.

Then Charles dies and you know: Going home was never truly impossible until now.

This is not easily described by a single genre methinks

superposition, by borninsideatornado: The racer car driver au! This one has some angst yes, but it didn't feel right to put it in the angst category bc there's so much more to it! This story is about healing. It's also about racing cars. And it's also a romance ! Charles and Erik have an amazing dynamic, but then so does Erik and Emma, Erik and Pietro (the father and son are father and son'ing!) and the entire team tbh. Really fun to read!

erik is a race car driver coming off the worst year of his life. charles xavier may be his last hope.

Time to Grow, by zarah5: 20K oneshot, Charles pov. Fluffy fix-it

In which you'll find chess dates which aren't dates (or maybe Charles is wrong about that). -- Based on First Class, this turns (slightly) AU during the beach scene.

Comedy

Fathers and sons, by M_Leigh: 6K oneshot, Hank pov. So fucking funny

“I have an – interest – in Peter Maximoff,” Erik said, somewhat grudgingly, glaring. “A – familial – interest –”

Everybody stared at him.

“In that – mutantkind is one – large – family –” Erik said valiantly, if pathetically.

“Oh, shit,” Alex said. “No way. No way.”

i guess i should say thanks or some shit: au but they do have powers, 17K oneshot, charles pov

believe it or not, charles has a well-thought-out moral philosophy. he doesn’t follow it. but he has thought it out. alternatively: charles and erik douche it up in amsterdam

Frosted hearts, by aesc & palalife: 29K oneshot, multipov, the main focus is cherik, and it comes with art!

Emma Frost has 99 problems, but a date ain't one. Specifically, she has no time to play the dating game--which is fine with her, because she'd much rather run it instead. From a set of sleek, silver and white offices on Fifth Avenue and with her trusty, stylish, and silent partner Janos Quested, Emma has built Frosted Hearts into New York City's premiere dating service, built on the principle that money, and a sufficiently rigorous psionic scan, can, in fact, buy you love.

Somewhere in Frosted Hearts's server is one Charles Xavier, genius and geneticist, with the kind of nicely-starched good looks that sell well on brochures for New England prep schools. He's also a telepath who's decided to give up pursuing serious relationships and instead spend his thirties doing what he should have done as a teenager: have a lot of sex with random people. Fortunately for him, Erik Lehnsherr, metallokinetic and engineering executive, has absolutely no time in his heart or his schedule for anything more serious than... well, absolutely nothing romantic at all.

X-men fic recs

I thought you already knew by winter_hiems

“Wanda… did our dad… boink Professor X?”

Wanda took a sip from her mug of coffee. “Pietro, our dad is still fucking Professor X. I thought you already knew. Literally everyone knows.”

——

Pietro finds out about his father and Charles Xavier. Apparently everyone else already knew.

People were mean to you, but I always thought you were cool by suzikublu

“What are your feelings on the mutant threat?!” one of the reporters shouts, and Steve just looks at him.

“I think anyone threatening mutants should be stopped,” he says calmly, and the swarm of reporters explodes, a dozen camera flashes going off at once.

Standing tall while sitting down by insanetrolllogic

Charles was paralyzed during his adolescence. Somehow everything works out better.

Your head caught in a waking dream by addandsubtract

in which charles is sent to a mental institution as a child and by the time raven breaks him out, he's irreparably damaged. because this is me, there's also a road trip involved.

Fathers and sons by m_leigh

“I have an – interest – in Peter Maximoff,” Erik said, somewhat grudgingly, glaring. “A – familial – interest –”

Everybody stared at him.

“In that – mutantkind is one – large – family –” Erik said valiantly, if pathetically.

“Oh, shit,” Alex said. “No way. No way.”

The walls are bleeding by insanetrolllogic

Erik befriends the ghost in his house. And then decides to expose his murderer.

EDIT: ROUND TWO ADDITIONS

Idiot control now by cygunat

Hank screws something up in the lab and everyone's powers increase tenfold. Not knowing how to control them like this, they all try to cope and not kill each other by mistake while Hank tries to find a way to reverse the effects. Charles has a particularly hard time of it.

Blessed is the first match consumed by cygunat

"This isn't a concentration camp," Delta says, calm, like he's been rehearsing it. Erik looks at the gun on his hip, the guards behind him in the corridor, the bars between them.

He smiles with a lot of teeth. "I think I'd know that better than you."

AU in which the beach divorce didn't happen and Erik decides to stay and help Charles start his school. But despite their clean break, the government isn't ready to let the mutants disappear into hiding.

Order Up by ikeracity

Charles has a terrible habit of multitasking, and that is probably why he absentmindedly tells the pizza man that he loves him when hanging up.Then the pizza man says it back. And Charles is pretty much smitten from there.

The magneto effect by orphan_account

“He’s in the lobby,” the soldier said, "isn't he supposed to be too fast to see?" A radio crackled. “Colonel Stryker? Quicksilver is here, and he looks very angry…” He didn't even hesitate. “Shoot to kill. Stop him at all costs.”Peter is finally back home after six months of multiverse chaos, only for his father and the X-Men to go missing, captured by Colonel Stryker. Peter is the only one left to save them, and he's not letting anyone take his family from him. Never again.

Ft. Metallokinetic Peter Maximoff.

Where Charles accidentally becomes Peter's dad AU.

Okay I know i said this was a 2 part thing, but I changed my mind. There's really nothing more glorious than writing with something planned and then when you write your brain just goes of the rails and makes a whole new thing. Here's Part 1 in case you missed it!

PART 2

-------

When Erik opened his eyes, the stars no longer glistened like they had been a few hours ago. It's the dead of the night and along with the cool midnight air - the stars, too, were cold.

In the past, in what now seems to be a lifetime ago - he and his family had stargazed in a small clearing by the woods near their home. It was where he first brought Magda to ask for her hand. And it was where Magda told him that they were expecting a little angel to forever change their lives. It became a silent tradition. No one ever said it was and yet they find themselves doing it whenever they felt as if they needed to.

There were many myths when it came to death. Perhaps it is because no one ever really knows what happens next. Some believed in an afterlife - a heaven or a hell, others in being reborn. Some say there is nothing after death at all.

And while he couldn't stop himself from thinking of his family, coming out here tonight hadn't been to mourn even more than he already was but because he was thinking of Charles.

The past few decades had been a whirlwind of grief, emptiness, happiness and unimaginable danger. He admits that he's been absent from Charles' life for far too long, so logically there was bound to be something different. He didn't know what, but he knew that he didn't expect this.

"I'm here for my family too."

That was what the boy said in Cairo. In hindsight, Peter had always seemd to be closer to Charles than the rest of the children.

Back then he only chalked it up to the fact that Peter had been there longer than the rest. But it made sense now. Charles’ fond looks at the boy - and the boy always lingering in the corner of Erik's eye when Charles was nearby. How Charles had been so distressed over Peter's broken leg - moreso than any of the other children's injuries. He could go over all the signs all the way back to Pentagon, when the boy rescued him - but it would take him hours to list it all down.

It made sense. How he didn't connect the dots earlier, he didn't know. He had always been a little bit oblivious when it came to Charles (apparently moreso than he already is).

"I didn't know Peter was your son." Silence met his statement.

"I would've thought it'd been obvious, Erik."

"You were never the sort of person to settle down Charles. And his mother?"

"Dead," came the cold reply.

So he left it at that. Because if anything Erik knew what it was like to grieve. And if Charles was still grieving over Peter's mother's death, then so be it.

"Peter. We need to talk."

Oh shit. Who the fuck invented that phrase? No one wants to hear that first thing in the morning. Peter just wanted to eat his Twinkies in peace, but if he was being honest - he had totally brought this on to himself. It's because you called him Dad then you left you idiot boy. Ohmygod Charles is going to throw me out. Erik's probably caught on by now, maybe Charles told him. Oh god, what if-

It took him another call from the Professor to realize he had frozen in place. All metal in the room - from the cutlery, to the cabinets' handle, to the oven, and to the Professor's chair were shaking and some afloat. The professor was floating. Oh god it's happening again what do I- breathe, Peter. Wanda taught him that. So he does, and little by little, his hold on the metal decreases.

And if Charles had any doubt whose son Peter was, he no longer has any by the time Peter had calmed.

"You're like Erik," Charles said awed.

"I- It's not a big deal."

"Isn't it?" There was no way Charles would just let this go. It was amazing. Peter's mutation had already been something awespiring in itself but know that he had a secondary mutation? The academic in him needed to satisfy his curiosity.

Peter was a second generation mutant. His father had the same mutation, so genetics, of course should dictate that he have the same mutation, that is to say if it hadn't become recessive. But the X Gene was so random, it was hard to identify who gets the mutation and what. Does this mean all second generation mutants have secondary mutations or perhaps primary mutations that are same as their parents'?

This could be a revolutionary discov-

"Professor are you... alright?" Peter asked hesitantly.

"Yes, I am. Peter, you do realize this is amazing right?" His eyes shone with determination and his face broke into a wide grin that warned Peter that he was definitely not getting out of this conversation.

✨Imagine✨

Peter and the X-Men are captured by Stryker, who put neural inhibitors in the cell and a serum that contradicts their mutant powers so they can’t escape. Peter assures Charles that he’ll get them out, but Charles fires back with “in case you’ve forgotten, you can’t use your speed!”

“I’ve broken out of a lotta places in my day, prof, and I haven’t always had my speed.”

Charles is confused but Peter’s eyes glow white and his hands spread outwards. The metal in the cell starts to shake and he breaks the wall. Everyone is in awe as he starts mopping the floor with Stryker and his men, using only his metallokinesis to do it. Hank is fascinated that Peter has a second mutation, let alone controlling metal.

I keep seeing Dadneto

I was wondering when you were going to ask me a question.

One thing thing to do know about Peter is don't make him angry. He's a pretty chill dude. Sure, he may have his Dadneto's stubbornness, self-loathing, Metallokinetics, sarcasm and dry humor; but also his anger and wraith.

However, unlike his father, his anger takes more time to get out of him, a lot of the time he goes straight to sadness and self-deprecation instead of anger. But, when he does show his rage and anger, boy it can give Erik a run for his money; as Peter isn't used to dealing it. Causing power malfunctions in his metalbending...very scary stuff.

Peter's anger is a slow build, it takes a lot. but when it happens its expulsive; he stays angry after the fact While Erik's anger is there, but he can control it and balance it with serenity like geothermal; staying on that spectrum he specialized in some forms of metalbending, but is consistent.

All I'm saying is that you do not fuck the Magento or his family or anyone that Erik holds dearest to him.

When Peter gets anxious, which is often, he uses his metal powers to float some random stuff (coins, nails, essentially anything that’s small and made of metal) around his hands and between his fingers. It’s weirdly relaxing to him. This also could be how the X-Men find out about his powers if we go with the ‘he gets them as a child or sometime before Apocalypse‘ route. Like, he gets nervous bc of his broken leg and inability to run so he takes some shit out of his pockets and floats them around, forgetting that literally no one around him is aware he can do this.

Ooo, I like this.

That’d be a weirdly funny way for everyone else to find out.

Hi!! May I request a dadneto fic of them calling each other dad and son for the first time? 🥰

Of course my love I’m a total sucker for dadneto. ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you enjoy

Dad.

Summary: Peter didn’t need a dad and he was sure Erik didn’t want a loser like him for a son. His father had already had the perfect family and had them snatched from him. Peter like he usually is was wrong.

Warnings: Peter has low self worth and anxiety. There’s a bit of angst but nothing heart wrenching. I don’t even think I cursed this time but I might have.

Pairing: there isn’t one just some good old fashioned father, son bonding. Maybe Cherik if you squint and turn your head to the left.

Words: 1408

Masterlist

Rules

——————————————————————————

Peter had been avoiding Erik like the plague since the older mutant had moved into the school to help with construction. Peter may be twenty seven but telling someone they missed out on twenty seven years of their child’s life wasn’t an easy thing to do. Peter knew if he couldn’t tell the man at the end of the world then it probably wasn’t going to happen.

His issue was he had already opened his fat mouth to Raven who kept trying to trap them in a room alone together. She had even gotten Charles in on it. Sure Erik had a right to know he had another child but it shouldn’t be Peter's responsibility to inform the man he had a child much less adult twins. His mother had really dropped the ball on that one.

Peter was content to just continue living his life as if everything was the same as always. He didn’t need a dad, he was a grown ass man at this point. He was afraid the information would only make Erik even more depressed. He had seen a picture of Nina in his snooping and he had determined that the tiny girl was everything he wasn’t.

She was beautiful with a tiny freckled nose and big blue eyes. She couldn’t be a loser like her big brother who up until a couple of months ago had still been living in his mother’s basement. Why would Erik want someone like him in his life much less as a son.

“Peter you’re spiraling” The professor's voice echoed through his head and Peter groaned frustrated. He pounded on his ear like he had water caught inside.

“Peter you should tell him I can be there with you if you’d like” The professor's meddling voice came again causing Peter to lose that round of Ms. Pac-Man.

“You see Professor, I would do that but I know he doesn’t want a loser basement dweller for a kid.” Peter shot back turning up his music even louder letting the voice of his generation sweep over him. David Bowie was a king and nobody could tell him otherwise.

“Peter, you aren’t a loser, you took on Apocalypse by yourself and lived to tell about it, rather loudly I might add. You also are starting a teaching position here in the fall. You are such a good kind hearted person don’t degrade yourself that way.” Charles scolded. This was an ongoing argument between the two men and it never seemed to change his mind.

“I mean, is a P.E. Teacher even a real teacher Professor?” Peter asked.

“Physical Education is a very important role in children’s lives”Charles retorted to the unconvinced twenty-something. Peter could feel the frustration bubbling up inside him. He jerked in surprise when his watch that was laying on the side table forgotten began to vibrate. He snatched it clasping it around his wrist taking deep even breaths just trying to calm down.

So he inherited more than just the x-gene from his father. He had a secondary mutation, that was just great. He would have to be even more cautious than he already was. He knew Raven would try to trigger this in front of Erik if she found out. Which she would with her brother being a freaking mind reader.

***

“I need all staff members to my office for a staff meeting” Charles' voice echoed loudly in his head. He zipped to the office finding that Charles and Erik were already there. He should have taken his time and the tension could be cut with a knife.

“Peter, how are you? I haven’t seen you around much” Erik greeted the silver haired mutant politely.

“Oh you know I’ve just been around” Peter waved him off and he could feel the professor’s eyes burning into him like Scott’s lasers.

“Peter did you know that Erik will be staying on a our new foreign language professor?” Charles asked and Peter could once again feel the frustration start to bubble up.

“Really? I thought the government gave you an island or something?” Peter asked pointedly, ignoring the professor’s smug grin.

“Well I decided that I should stay, one thing apocalypse was right about was mutants needing to stick together” Erik explained and Peter was suddenly regretting taking this job.

“Isn’t it delightful Erik is fluent in so many languages German, Russian, French, Spanish, and even Polish. Peter isn’t your mother originally from the Ukraine?” Peter wanted to glare at the older man but couldn’t...not without giving himself away at least.

“No she’s originally from Poland she moved to the Ukraine after being liberated with my ciotka” Peter bit out unknowingly feeding Erik valuable information.

“You are Jewish?” Peter wanted to run, he supposed he had Jewish blood he had known his father was Jewish.

“Romani” Peter answered shortly, trying to hint that he didn’t want to talk about it. He also wasn’t technically lying to be Jewish your mother technically had to be Jewish.

“And your last name is Maximoff?” Peter could feel the anxiety build up in his throat cursing his seventeen year old self for dropping the fact that his mother quote “knew someone who could control metal”.

Erik began staring hard at the boy taking in his features. He began to see a resemblance to Magda, his ex wife. He tried to explain it away he was probably Marya’s child, but how likely was it that Marya would give birth to a child with a mutation. He knew that Django and her husband didn’t have any mutation that he knew about.

Erik’s calculating gaze only served to push Peter that much closer to an anxiety attack. He could feel his already swift heart rate pick up even faster with his emotions. He could feel the cool metal of the watch hum and he fought the anxiety. The last thing Peter needed was to give Erik another clue. Controlling metal would be like a neon sign yelling I’m your son.

“Your mother was her name Marya or Magda?” Erik asked, still studying the nervous man. With his mother’s name all the metal in the professor’s office began to hum and vibrate. Peter began internally cussing as Erik’s eyes went wide. He started to bolt out the door but was held in place by his watch and the zipper on his jacket.

“Peter” was all Erik could say and suddenly Peter began to wonder if the professor hadn’t called the staff meeting and only let him and Erik know. That was something he should have expected from Raven not the professor. It seemed being a meddling meddler ran in their family.

“Uh yeah?” He nervously rubbed the back of his neck trying to get the metal in the room to stop vibrating.

“Your mother, her name was Magda” Erik remarked, it was a statement not a question. He couldn’t help but wish the Wanda was here with him. She had always been the smarter twin.

“Ummm yeah” he confessed. Erik’s face looked like a cross between anguish and pure joy. Anguish that he had missed so much of his child’s life and joy that he had been reunited with said child. This was Anya’s baby brother and Nina’s elder brother. Erik knew that he would protect Peter with all of his might from now on. Erik would not waste another moment.

“My son” Erik’s voice was thick with emotion as he started down his adult child. Peter went to look at Charles for help but cursed when he saw that the wheelchair bound man had excused himself without Peter or Erik noticing.

Erik staggered forward wrapping his arms around the man and Peter melted. Peter may not have needed a father but that wasn’t to say he didn’t want one. He had always craved male companionship, he had always looked forward to visiting his aunt and uncle as a child. This was different though this man was his father, something his uncle Django tried to be for him but never really could. Erik’s hug was warm and safe and strong and he suddenly felt like he was fifteen years old again.

“Dad,” he muttered, finally squeezing the older man back fighting back tears. He had thought Erik would be angry, that he would think that Peter was trying to replace Nina. Erik wasn’t angry though, Erik was relieved he had his family. His family might not be whole but at least he had part of it.

“You have my mother’s eyes” Erik informed him, as he pulled back to further examine Peter’s face. Peter had always thought that his eyes were a dull brown, he had always wished they were bright like his mother and sister’s were. He supposed this was better, if he had his grandmother's eyes that meant that a part of her lived on.

Peter knew that he needed to inform Erik of Wanda, but that could wait a few more moments. For now all Peter wanted to do was soak in his father’s acceptance and love at least for a moment

Thank you please feel free to request.

Original MCU verse “Peter Maximoff”

I have written this for RP related plot, my Peter Maximoff in the MCU is brother of Pietro and Wanda, raised by Erik and Magda before Magneto’s disappearance. and Pietro survived the battle against Ultron in this verse. Also Peter is not only a Speedster but metallokinetic like his father.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What happened in Westview was…Messy at best, it wasn’t one of the best life phases Peter had but not nearly the worst either. After all, it allowed him to finally get closer to his siblings which was something he never thought he would be able to do.

Wanda is really everything he thought a big sister would be, despite him being basically a stranger to the two of them, the scarlet witch didn’t hesitate to give him so much love the same way she did with Pietro. This might have taken Peter by surprise at first, but he grew used to it and just accepted the fact that Wanda Maximoff was genuinely a good and sweet person who just wanted to love and be loved.

Pietro on the other hand, he was as chaotic as Peter himself. Was it a speedsters thing? Or maybe it’s just the men of their family? After all he remembers his father having those almost childish moments despite him being the serious feared man he was. If there was any hesitation from Pietro’s side to accept Peter, well he didn’t show it. The two of them got along quite easily, and that includes their frequent arguments and teasing which held no hard feelings behind it.

So in general, Peter was finally back with his family and happy about it. They were more than he asked for, way too good, he should have expected things to go bad soon after all more than any of them he was the one carrying Erik’s misfortune and tendency of bringing chaos wherever he goes.

When he received a call from Monica Rambeau asking him to come as soon as possible as they had a few questions for him, Peter knew for sure that something bad was coming from it.

Did Magneto appear again? If he did, Peter will have to stay away from Pietro and Wanda to honor their mother’s wish to keep them away from the dangerous man who would use the two of them to help him in his fight against humanity. Peter was already familiar with his father’s manipulative methods, even if he didn’t really mean any harm, it was still bad as effective as it was. And the last thing he wants is for the world so his the twins as villains once again, they barely like them after what happened in Westview in the first place.

Peter was so sure whatever issue Monica and Jimmy wanted to discuss with him was completely related to Erik Lehnsherr, he was taken by surprise when he received the first question as soon as he took a seat in front of them. Files scattered across the table, face down so he wasn’t able to see what exactly was it about.

“Peter, you know that by hiding anything from us we won’t be able to help you…Is super speed your only ability?”

Blinking in a mix of surprise and confusion, Peter smiled nervously as he faked having no idea what was she talking about and why he was being questioned about his abilities.

“Of course, well unless you consider enhanced healing as a different ability but I assure you it is all related to my speed. My father made sure to tell me what I can and can’t do to assure my safety. And there is the…Test results from my time back in LA.”

The two agents exchanged a look, already able to see through Peter’s lie. This time it was Jimmy who spoke, having known the guy longer than Monica, he went straight to the point.

“So you don’t have any metallokinetic abilities like your father? No bending iron, sending cars flying, changing the direction of bombs?”

Peter started getting uncomfortable realizing the cat was out of the bag, he did intend to keep lying and denying having any similar abilities to his father but found himself stopping at the mention of bombs. He doesn’t recall using his power on anything so dangerous before, actually he can count the times he used his metallokinetic abilities on his hands. Were they trying to confirm if Magneto was back? Or worse, was Magneto somewhere near him at some point and he missed that thus they were trying to tell him indirectly?

“I…Okay maybe you got me there. And the flying car is the worst thing I did, I have no idea what bombs are you talking about. Did dad return? If that’s the case you can’t tell Wanda and Pietro, he will try to sell them his mutants are superior than humans propaganda and seeing what Wanda can do he will not take no as an answer”

Realizing what was concerning the mutant, Monica shook her head bringing a sigh of relief from him. Right before explaining exactly what they meant.

“After what happened in Westview, the government opened a new case about Wanda, and well Pietro. The statements Agatha made and were heard by many, and after seeing your odd interest in the two of them, the higher ups want us to estimate when did the twins exactly get their powers. Was the stone really what gave it to them? Or were they related to Magneto and inherited it from him?”

Sinking back in his seat, Peter cursed under his breath. He shouldn’t have approached them, once the public finds out that they are indeed Magneto’s children, they will also have a huge target on their backs. And if the man ever returned, he will find out about their existence immediately. He did that, his selfishness is putting his siblings in danger and now it’s too late to fix it.

“No…You have to fix this, people can’t know they are related to Magneto! Hell they didn’t even know about him until recently! They can’t be blamed for the things he did. They already have too much they are receiving hate for! Who their father is, is not their fault!”

Reaching towards the speedster, Monica rest her hand on his in an a futile attempt of comfort. As Jimmy addressed this issue, which surprisingly wasn’t the reason why they called him?

“Peter calm down, we are doing our best to make sure no one realizes the true connection. But this isn’t why you are here. You see as we were looking through files of what happened on March 30th, 1999 in Novi Grad, we noticed a strange…Activity. The course of the bombs were being monitored.”

With this, Jimmy opened one of the files showing Peter not only pictures from that day but a strange looking map with multiple red dots and lines as they went down. He assumed these were the bombs, he still remembers watching them rain above the city.

He was about to ask why were they showing him this when he spotted exactly what they were talking about, and connected the dots. One of the bombs’ course was drastically changed halfway, which shouldn’t have been possible. Meaning, someone must have affected it somehow, let’s say with a certain ability to control metal.

It was then, like a slap, he was reminded of how did he exactly find out he had metallokinetic abilities. Memories from that day are blurry, all what he remembers was being unable to protect Magda who was crushed under a crumbling building, how scared he was and the deafening loud noise. But he now remembered that in the middle of all that, there was a bomb falling straight in his direction. Without giving it too much thought, he felt the vibration of the metal making the weapon, and with one movement of his hand he sent it flying away.

“I don’t remember much from that day but this…This is my doing, it was the first time I found out that I have abilities similar to da-…Magneto…”

Once again they were looking at each other, this time as if he has just ripped away every little bit of hope they had left. What was wrong? He already admitted he can control metal but they didn’t seem surprised so why are they now looking like they were about to tell him he killed someo- Oh no, he did kill someone by doing that didn’t he?

Eyes widening in guilt, he looked down at the opened file before him. Each bomb had a set of numbers on it, and not surprisingly, the one he moved was the one closely tracked down and followed.

This is how he ended up holding the picture of a destroyed apartment, in an act of self defense he ended up sending the deadly weapon right to a building full of innocent people. He was eight at the time, but was this an excuse? After all by his father he was seen old enough to know about the horrors of the world and the humans’ hatred for those who aren’t like them.

Eyes drifting down to the small black letters at the bottom of the picture, he felt his blood run cold. Please tell him this was some kind of a cruel prank? He is unlucky but he can’t be THIS unlucky!

Oleg and Iryna Maximoff’s apartment. Oleg and Iryna, aunt Iryna Maximoff like Magda Maximoff, like…Wanda and Pietro Maximoff…

Grip tightening on the picture, he didn’t even realize his expression changed from guilt to terror, his body shaking, no, it was vibrating at the realization that /he/ was the one who murdered his aunt and her husband. he was the one who orphaned Wanda and Pietro, not only did he fail to protect their mother but he also took away the only parental figures his siblings had.

It was him that made them loath Stark for making those weapons, it was him who lead them to volunteering in HYDRA’s experiments and eventually joining Ultron.

“Peter, I know this is too much for you to take in. You were just a scared child, no one blames you for what happened. We just thought we should tell you first in case this information fell in the wrong hands or was revealed at a bad time”

Monica tried to comfort him once again, put this time Peter flinched back as if the touch of her hand was burning him.

Eyes glassy and red from unshed tears as he glared up at the two SWORD agents, the Lehnsherr slammed the picture back on the desk as he finally spoke again. Voice hard and laced with venom, which both knew was directed at himself rather than them.

“Bad timing? When is a good timing to tell someone he killed his own aunt and orphaned his siblings?! NEVER! And wrong hands? What would anyone do with this information beside telling the world, or Wanda and Pietro that the brother they welcomed with open arms is the one behind all their misfortune?! This is a curse. A family curse, the Lehnsherrs curse. They were right, we do nothing but bring chaos and pain upon the world! I’m… I’m just like him…”

“Peter-…” Jimmy was interrupted with a loud “SHUT UP!” from the mutant who was now standing on his feet, the office around them shaking, or more like every metal around and in the office shaking. The young man’s warm brown eyes replaced by an icy silver glow.

It took a few seconds of total silence beside the rattling of metal for Peter to calm down, his expression disturbingly cold as he started gathering the scattered pictures and papers back into the files then picked them up. He knew Jimmy was standing up to stop him, but the glare he gave was enough to made the agent sit back down. Glancing between the captain and the mutant leaving with their recent case’s work.

Pietro and Wanda deserved to know, they deserved to realize who they were harboring. And he knew he can’t directly tell them, words will certainly betray him so reading those files should be enough.

He wasn’t ready for their outburst once their knew the truth, but this isn’t about him anymore. Whatever they had to throw his way, he was ready for it…
