I saw the movie Everybody's Fine and got the idea for this story.

Hope you like it.

Enjoy.

Erik was alone in his house. He'd been alone there for years. After defeating Apocalypse, Erik had quit trying to eliminate humans. Being under Apocalypse's control, he realized the wrongs he committed. Especially with his children. He remembered having Mastermind remove the mental blocks that he had ordered place in Wanda's mind to make her forget about being locked away. He remembered how angry she was. Erik was still surprised to this day that she didn't kill him. All she she did was yell at him and said she never wanted to see him again.

And he hadn't seen seen her since. The only way he knew how she was doing was from his son, Pietro, who Wanda wasn't mad at. Pietro, Anya, and Lorna had kept in touch with him. Pietro was married and had two children. Anya was also married and had one son. Lorna was still single. Wanda was married and had twins.

But lately he hadn't heard from his children for awhile now. They haven't called. Haven't come over for a visit. Nothing.

Erik picked up the phone and dialed. Instead of his son he got his son's answering machine.

"Sorry, I'm not home right now. Leave a message and I'll try to get back at you as soon as I can."

Erik sighed. He tried Lorna.

"I can't come to the phone right now. Please leave a message and I'll call you back."

Erik hung up. He didn't bother trying to call Anya. She probably wouldn't be home either.

Erik went to his bed room. On his nightstand were two pictures. One of his first wife Magda. And one of his second wife Suzanna. Magda, the mother of Anya, Pietro and Wanda, he missed so much. Loved her with all his heart. Not that he never loved Suzanna, Lorna's mother, but Magda was his first and true love. Perhaps if she was still alive, he wouldn't have been so cold to his children and used them as pawns. Wanda wouldn't hate him then.

He noticed something on the floor. He picked it up. It was a DVD box. To the movie Everybody's Fine. He had seen it last night. It was about a man who went to go see his children who weren't children anymore. He went out to check up on them.

Then he got an idea. He would go and visit his children too. All of them. He had to see them. Know if they were all fine.

Erik picked up the phone to order some train tickets.

Sorry this chapter is so short. I'll try to write longer chapters.
