    In which there are princes, spaceships, long journeys, and old secrets uncovered. (An AU sci-fi fairytale)

    Summary

    I didn’t realize how important this was to you, Charles admitted, sending along the impression of… gratitude. Gratitude that Erik cared this much. I’m not who I used to be, though. I’m not the same.

    And neither am I, Erik replied, leaning back against the headboard. I have no expectations. I just want to help, if I can.

    Mental silence fell between them—Charles was still there, drifting carefully in the center of Erik’s thoughts, but he was thinking, guarding the quiet metronome of his thoughts from Erik.

    What if this doesn’t work? Charles asked, uncertain.

    What if it does?

    Summary

    Erik Magnus-Lehnsherr is not afraid of needles. Why should he be, when he can bend them into uselessness with a thought? He need not know fear, not anymore, but his injured psyche seems to have other ideas.

    Summary

    To his absolute horror, the deadbolt on the kitchen door turns on its own. Peter watches in slow motion as the door creeps open and a figure appears on the other side, decked out in a trench coat and fedora like some sort of private detective.

    Peter’s father steps through the threshold.

    Peter’s standing there like an idiot with sticky fingers, brandishing a steak knife at him.

    Peter’s father—Erik—notices this and stares at him, shocked. Peter is glad at this moment to have one-upped the man, but that’s quickly overridden by the emotional weight of the fact that his dad is standing right there, not ten feet from him. And Peter’s kinda threatening him with a weapon. A metal one. His dad, the terrorist, the guy who can move metal. Metal that belongs to the knife. The knife which Peter holds. Iron in the air, blood in his mouth (maybe for real this time).

    Peter drops the knife as if it were burning him, and it clatters to the ground.

    -

    Rising anti-Mutant sentiments—especially in the D.C. area—have made Peter’s mother decide that sending him away would be the safest thing for him, especially considering his involvement in breaking Magneto out of prison.

    Summary

    "You, you little devils, get to break into the Pentagon," the druggie says, rubbing his eyes.

    Now, Peter knows his twin isn't the biggest fan of high-strung, completely illogical, dangerously illegal activities.

    But wherever one Maximoff twin goes, the other follows. It's rule #2, after all.

    Plus, Kako has to pay penance for liking Batman over Flash somehow.

    Or: Instead of a teenage Quicksilver to break Erik Lehnsherr out of the Pentagon, Logan instead has two twelve-year-olds in a trenchcoat.
