Chapter 1: Stay

After a long day of defeating Apocalypse, Erik Lehnsherr and Jean Grey rebuilt the X-mansion and came inside along with the old and new X-men and the students. They all had settled to their respective rooms and rest for the remaining part of their long day.

The next morning the staff and the students had fully recovered their energy and went on with their daily lives. Jean and Scott toured Kurt around the mansion since he wasn't toured properly the other day due to the blast when they got back from the mall. Mystique decided to stay and help train the new team. Magneto wasn't sure if he was staying after all his wife and daughter were killed and he is sure people are going to look for him. He still hasn't cope over their death and he surely has nowhere to go which leads him to no choice but stay here at his friend's house where he will be welcomed by his "family".

With his decision finally made he headed to the pond to get some fresh air and think about his next move but miserably failed when he got there and sat under the tree, he couldn't help but think about his precious Nina, she would've love it here, where he currently was. "Seems like someone is in deep thought.", a voice that had startled Erik and broke the silence as he looked up and saw the silver speedster sitting at the branch of the tree, apple in hand as he took a bite.

"What are you doing here?", asked the master of magnetism, the boy shrugged before munching on the fruit and swallowing it before giving the older mutant a reply, "Woke up late and noticed that everyone is in class so I decided to eat breakfast here.", the speedster replied and took another bite of his fruit. "Also, I'm 25 and I have a job but I told my boss I was sick and injured.", he added and the older man nodded.

"How's your leg?", Erik asked referring to the leg that was broken due to their fight with Apocalypse yesterday. "It's fine now. I heal fast.", Peter replied as he finished his apple and Erik nodded again.

"So, what was it like?", asked Peter which made Erik confuse at the question, "What do you mean?". "Seeing your daughter when you first held her? And I'm sorry for bringing that up but I'm just curious.", he stated as he climbed down the tree and sat right next to him. That question made Erik smile at the memory, whenever a person asks about her, he couldn't help but talk about her more.

"Well, when my wife gave birth to her 7 years back I thought that I should've done 'it' with her. Seeing her in pain made my heart break, she held my hand to tell me that she's fine but I refused to believe it, not wanting to see that scene play in front of me, I closed my eyes and when I did.." he trailed off and his smile grew wider and unbeknownst to Peter he was in awe too, "I heard a child's wail. A very small child... Nina she was the reason I opened my eyes again. As the nurses wrapped her in a blanket and gave her to me, I couldn't help but realize that she was the main reason I had to stay alive.", the older mutant finished as his eyes met Peter's blue ones.

'I've got to admit I am jealous of my dead half-sister.' , the silver-haired mutant thought as he looked away from his father's eyes and to the pond, he wished that was how his father looked at him when his mother gave birth to him and his twin.

"That's nice.", the unknown son commented another question made him curious, "Are you leaving?", Erik gazed back at the pond and shook his head. "Probably not. After all people are going to look for me and I don't have nowehere else to stay.", Peter disagreed with this, "Yes, you do. You have family."stated the speedster thinking it's probably time to tell him, "If you are referring to Charles, Raven and Hank, they're not my family. Well, not by blood anyway."

"No. I mean real family by blood. You still have some left.", this made the Magneto look back at Quicksilver in confusion, "Who?", he curiously asked surely he has no family left anymore. His parents are dead so is his wife and daughter, who else does he really have left? "Me. I'm your son."

"If this is a joke, I'm not laughing.", Erik stood up in shock, he was bewildered by what he just heard, Erik placed his hands in his head. "No. Look at me. Am I joking? I'm your son. Your real son, Pietro Maximoff.", said Pietro who was taken aback by his father's actions, stood up with a serious expression on his face.

'Maximoff' that name was familiar to him, too familiar, which lead him back to the days when he was still Magneto, a reckless killer. That was young Erik, 26 years ago, he would mostly go to bars and get laid by a woman there. "I'm Isabelle Maximoff nice to meet you.", Isabelle, the first woman to win Erik's heart, she was his first serious relationship but only for a short time he knew they weren't going to last long. That is why he left her to keep her safe but he didn't know he also left his son.

Now, he remembers, "Isabelle.", Erik said as he was suddenly out of breath, "What?", Peter asked, confused by his father's actions. "Your mother is Isabelle Maximoff, isn't it?", Erik asked seeing how reckless he was when he was younger and how he made a terrible mistake, Pietro nodded in answer.

"Oh, son.", Erik said as he suddenly found the urge to hold his son and embrace him, tears falling from his eyes. He made a terrible mistake for leaving his first love and his son behind and he felt guilty about it. Peter who has been wanting to tell him ever since he came back couldn't find the will before, now he did and it relieved him that his father adored him. He was longing for a father-son moment like this and now here he was cherishing every moment with him as he hugged back his father, tears also forming his eyes. For he wanted him to stay.
