Disclaimer: Most of my X-men knowledge is from the movies and what I can remember of both of the X-men cartoons. The rest I got from reading X-men fanfiction and what I read from their wikia pages. They might be out of character. So you know I can't be the one to own anything from the X-men besides their merchandise...if I ever buy any.

Hello everyone! Thank you for your reviews, follows and favorites.

I was wondering if any of you guys going to Dark Phoenix? Are you excited for the movie?

Please read and review. Enjoy!

A small town near Warsaw, Poland, 1951

This was just pit stop on Erik's mission to finding Schmidt. He was on his way to get a room at the only inn in this town when he bumped into someone. He grabbed the woman before she fell on the road. When he saw her face, and the necklace around her neck, he felt his heart stop.

"Magda?" He asked without realizing it.

The woman was startled that he knew her name and replied, "Do I know you?"

"My name is Erik Lehnsherr and we went to the same school when we were younger."

The one he thinks is his childhood crush gains a light of recognition in her eyes but then it to one of sadness and pity which he did not understand. "I'm sorry but I think you have the wrong person."

"But your name is Magda. Magda Weiss?" She hesitantly nodded her head. "You also have brown curly hair and blue eyes that I remember her having! Finally you have the necklace I gave to her before everything went…Anyway everything points to you being Magda! If you're not her, then who are you?"

Magda looked around and noticed that they drew the attention of those around them. She debated mentally on what to do before she gave a small sigh, "If you can come with me back to my house, I can explain everything to you."

Magda's house, Poland, 1954

It was the middle of the night when Magda was awoken by loud knocking on her door. She got out of her bed and left her room heading downstairs to her front door. At the bottom of the stairs was a broom and she decided to grab it to use as a weapon. She slowly crept to her front door. The knocking stopped and a muffled voice called out, "Magda, please open the door."

She recognized the voice as Erik's. While angry at him for waking her up so late into the night, she was also worried. In the three years that she known him, he has never called her Magda after the first day they met. Not after she explained to him that she woke up in Anya Weiss' home with no memory of who she was and the older woman, in her grief, insisting that she was her daughter. That she found out really quickly that she was not Magda, the real Magda had died two months before she arrived. (There was robbery in the town's small store she was shopping at. The robber pulled out a gun; she and the store's owner did not make it.) How she grown to care for Anya and did not want to break her heart again and decided keep pretending to be her dead daughter. They moved not too long after her decision.

He was so angry after she explained everything to him. All of the metal she had in living room started to shake, he looked like he was about to kill her. Then they stopped and Erik had a blank face, he silently got up from the chair he was sitting in and left her house, slamming the front door as he left. She did not realize how terrified she was until her body relaxed after he was gone. (Funny enough his powers never scared her; it was the opposite in fact. She felt excited, like something deep inside her thought it was amazing. It was like she wasn't alone anymore.) He came back a week later with yellow roses and an apology. He would visit her irregularly after that and they would talk. It did not take too much time before they became close. But ever since he apologized, he has never called her Magda, always saying a different name to see if it would jog her memory.

(The last few visits he started to use English names when he noticed that she scolded him after he used some English curse words in front of some of the children she was taking care of. For the rest of the morning and part of the afternoon he talked to her in English to see if she actually understood him and see if it was not a fluke. She answered everything back in Polish but she had understood everything he was saying. She did not realize that he spoke in English until he pointed it out to her later after the children were picked up by their mothers.)

When she opened the door with what light the moon gave off, she could see how lost and exhausted looked. She could not help but say, "Oh Erik…"

That seemed to be enough for him for not a second later she was in his arms. He embraced her like she was the only thing that was keeping him sane. "I'm so tired." He whispered into her hair. Magda knew he did not want her to respond yet, so she just held him and let him talk. "I don't want do what I'm doing anymore. I don't know if I'm ever going to find Schmidt. I realized that I'm not happy and I ran out of anger a long time ago."

He released a bit of his hold on her so he could see her in the moonlight. "But when I'm with you I…I feel like I can be happy. Being with you soothed all the pain and rage I had within me. You helped me heal when I didn't think I would be able to heal." Erik took a deep breath before he continued. "I love you. Will you marry me?"

Miami, Florida, 1962

Erik turned to look at the woman who just stopped him from drowning when he laid his eyes on her he felt his heart stop. "Magda?"

With a watery smile she replied in Polish, "Turn's out my real name really is English."

Next thing he knows she is in his arms and their mouths are in a kiss filled with so much desperation, longing and hope. When they both realized that the other was not a figment of their imagination, the kiss slowed and turned to one of love and happiness. They separated for air, their foreheads touching.

"How?" Erik whispered out breathlessly then asked with hope, "Anya?"

"She's fine Erick, but I'll explain how we survived later. We're going to have company soon." As soon as she said that they heard the horn of a ship and a spotlight on them.
