Chapter Text
Then
“We need to talk.” Cable said.
“About?” Erik asks.
Cable then uses his telepathy and mentally blasts Erik. Much to the shock of the council.
“Magnus!” Kurt said.
Erik is suddenly horrified and starts to scream. Emma tries to calm and help him. But suddenly she starts screaming as well. Even worse she suddenly transforms her body into a diamond like form.
“Emma!??!” Shaw asks.
“Cable, what are you doing!?!” Maddie asks. /What is he doing!?!/
/Are ve in danger?!/ Kurt thinks.
“What have you done?” Erik asks.
/Well he's not dead/ Calisto thinks.
“Nathan what did you do?” Erik asks.
/He knows his name?/ Sean thinks.
“You know his name?” Shaw asks.
/Nathan?/ Maddie thinks.
Erik growls. “Nathan Charles fucking summers!”
Maddie gasps. “You survived.” /He's alive! ALIVE!/ She thinks.
“NATHAN WHAT DID YOU FUCKING DO!??!” Erik grabs him by the shirt.
Cable removes his shades and glares at him. “I did my job. That's what I fucking did!”
“What did you do?” Erik repeats.
“I took steps in ensuring that we all survived. Placed every teleporter we know on the island. Put speedsters there. Even put in powerful Omegas as a contingency.” Cable said.
“And…why aren't ve dead?” Kurt asks.
“X-force.” Cable said. “Gather a team who wouldn't be affected by the timeline to fight. To hold the line.”
“I take it you won.” Emma said.
“We did.” Cable said.
“What did you do?” Erik asks again.
/Well well. Looks like the summers boy isn't so squeaky clean./ Shaw thinks.
“I…every time I meet with you. I erased your memory so you wouldn't go off the rails. You don't remember…because I made you forget.” Cable said.
********
Now
The council then meets with Cable's X-force. In order to keep the voices and get complete and total silence Erik creates a helmet for himself. And to the surprise of no one it matched his outfit.
“Holy shit we could have died.” Calisto said.
The battlesight was not a pretty one. Debris of Sentinels. And the stuff was EVERYWHERE! And what wasn't destroyed they were legions that still remained…inert. Shut down if you will.
“Jesus Christ.” Erik said.
“Self-friend Magnus!”
“Wait…Warlock!?” Erik asks.
“Magnus remembers self!” Warlock said.
“....Nathan did you kidnap this alien?” Erik asks.
“Magneto knows an alien. Of course he does.” Emma said.
“And you used his ability to interface with the technology.” Erik said.
“Self is happy to see you again!” Warlock said.
“Nice to see you too.” Erik said. “How is…your life-mate?”
“Self's life mate is doing great!” Warlock said.
“Good to hear.” Erik said.
“He has a son.” Cable said.
“Really?” Erik asks surprised
“Adopted.” Cable said.
“Still congratulations.” Erik said.
“Self's son Tyros is Self's pride and joy.” Warlock said.
“Anyway. Magnus this X-force.” Cable said.
“Jesus you really are a summers.” Erik said.
“Hilarious.” Cable said. “Anyway this is New son, Claw Nestor, Nocturne, Powerhouse, and…. Xorn.’
“Xorn?” Erik asks.
“Erm not the one you know.” Xorn clarified.
“Ah.” Erik said.
“So who the hell would be bold enough to attack us?” Calisto asks.
“Truly a Sinister person.” Kurt said
“Oh god damn it!” Erik said.
“No he…this isn't his style.” Maddie said.
“He's the least of our problems.” Nathan said.
“If this leads up to another clone. They're moving in with Maddie!” Erik scoffs.
“Damn it Erik that's not funny!” Maddie said.
“Fine if this leads to another summer brothers we're letting him move in with Scott.” Erik smirks.
“I hate you so much.” Maddie said.
“Careful girl. That's your Jean genes talking.” Erik chuckles.
*********
When Erik returned inside he was walking inside the halls. Then he inadvertently passes by Gambit's room. He wants to stop. He wants to explain. However before he can decide on his next action the door opens.
And it's not Gambit that comes out.
“Cargill?” Erik asks.
“Magneto!” Frenzy gasps.
“Gambit. I did not see this coming.” Erik said.
“Rogue. I did not see this coming.” She retorts back.
“Fair enough.” Erik said.
Soon enough they both inadvertently walk together in the hallway.
“Soooo Rogue.” Frenzy said.
“What about her?” Erik asks.
“How?” Frenzy asks. “An X-man of all people. An X-MAN.”
“Two damaged souls fell in love.” Erik said.
“Uh huh.” Frenzy said.
“.....Mystique introduced us and asked me to help her master her powers.” Erik admits.
“Oooooo and then she became hot for teacher.” Frenzy smirks.
“That's…I-” Erik blushes at that.
“Hey. I thought you gave up the helmet.” Frenzy said.
“Old habits die hard.” Erik said.
After he managed to finish that conversation. Erik runs into Leech. Leech is very happy to see him. And although Erik is happy to see him. His death still haunts him.
Habe keine angst
Erik shakes his head.
“Magneto!” Leech said.
“Leech.” Erik smiles.
Soon Leech is introduced to his new friends. Friends that he managed to make on Genosha. He thinks he's met them before. But there's something about all of this. Their bright faces and hope in their eyes. The sight of them hurts. Because knowing what was supposed to happen. What could have happened…..it kills him.
*******
Soon enough Erik flies high enough in Genoshan skies to get away from everyone. To get away from people. Yes, the helmet keeps everyone out. But his previous deaths fill the void.
“It's overwhelming right?” Maddie asks.
“Oh Great. YOU.” Erik said, rolling his eyes.
“The voices. All that noise.” Maddie said.
“You're not going to give me a lecture are you? Because I'm too angry for that right now.” Erik scoffs.
“Are you going to tell Rogue?” Maddie asks.
“I suppose since she will be part of this council I will have too.” Erik said. “Are you going to tell Scott?”
“Yes.” Maddie said. “Are you going to tell Remy?”
“I don't know.” Erik admits. “I thought about it. I was considering it. I hesitated.”
“What stopped you?” Maddie asks.
‘Frenzy coming out of his room.” Erik said.
“Really? CARGILL?” Maddie is shocked.
“I know right!” Erik said.
“Why did you tell Nathan to go back? Why try and save Remy? I would have thought of you of all people would be thrilled to get rid of him.” Maddie said.
“I will admit he is a pest. But I don't hate him enough to let him die.” Erik admits. “Besides…I saw Rogue cry. That is its own hell.”
“You really love her.” Maddie said.
“More than life itself.” Erik said.
“When the hell did this even start?” Maddie asks.
“Well this happened long before you were made.” Erik smirks.
“Cheap shot.” Maddie glares.
“Couldn't resist.” Erik said. “So what do you remember? Your life as Jean?”
“I remember everything. Jean remembers nothing.” Maddie said.
“So what you're saying is that you remember Charles's lessons.” Erik said.
“Of course I do.” Maddie said. “Wait a minute…oh my god you're asking for help.”
“I suppose I am.” Erik said.
“HAHAHAHA!” Maddie bursts out laughing.
“Yes yes, very funny. I figured that since it was YOUR son that did this to me. The mother could help me…make me less of a liability.” Erik said.
“Well well look at the master of magnetism forced to ask a brimstone clone for help.” Maddie smirks.
“Yes truly we're all going to hell in a blazing inferno.” Erik rolls his eyes.
“I'm just surprised you asked me of all people.” Maddie said.
“Jean and Emma are comprimised.” Erik said.
“There's Psylocke.” Maddie smirks.
“No.” Erik said.
“So you're saying I'm the only teleapth you know.” Maddie said.
“It's a risk given how we don't know the full extent of Sinister's creation of you. But I am…desperate.” Erik admits.
“Meaning you don't want drive yourself mad.” Maddie said.
“Isn't that what I said?” Erik asks.
“Hmmm I suppose since you are my student. I guess that makes me Professor Pryor.” Maddie teases.
“You're enjoying this.” Erik said.
Maddie grins. “Yes.”
