Erik had expected many things when storming into Stryker's lab. What he did not expect to see was a line of beds with mutants on them. I mean sure he expected to see mutants strapped on beds, being experimented on, but he did not expect them to be in order of most injured to least injured or that the lesser injured mutants had been there longer.

"What in the world?" Scott stared with his mouth wide open. Everyone turned to Hank looking for some kind of explanation. Looking around the room he quickly grabbed a file and flipped through it.

"Experiment Wolverine blood" everyone turned to Logan who just gave a huff "It's some sort of healing serum" Everyone nodded then started to free the injured mutants. Erik walked over to the young mutant at the end, he had some small bruises but otherwise looked fine.

"Come on get up" The young mutants' eyes fluttered open before shutting tight due to the blinding light. Erik carefully looked over the young mutant he had white hair and blue eyes, something about this kid was so familiar. His skin was extremely pale like he hadn't been outside in years.

"Where am I?" he looked around confused but not scared which surprised Erik. Not really having the time or wanting to answer that question Erik pushed the kid to his feet and led him to the ship. After he was certain the kid was safe Erik ran back inside to help the others.

Time skip
When they got back to the mansion Hank checked over all the mutants that were experimented on and put them each in separate rooms. He then carefully examined their files. The X-men all gathered in the main hall bragging about their newest victory including Peter who was talking with a mouth full of cupcake. Erik had managed to find a quiet room to rest and was currently reading a book when someone started knocking at the door.

"Whoever it is go away before I crush you with the lawn mower" Erik threatened. But to his annoyance, the knocking did not stop. "I swear Peter if this is another game of one hundred questions-" Erik opened the door to see Hank "oh it's you"

"Erik there's something you need to look at" Hank pulled out one of the files they had taken from the lab and handed it to him "This is the file of that white-haired mutant you saved" Erik looked puzzled as he took the file.

"What exactly am I looking for?" Erik flipped through the pages until something caught his eye. Pietro Maximoff son of Magneto a.k.a. Erik lehnsherr brother of scarlet witch a.k.a Wanda Maximoff.

"He's on the third floor second door to your left" Hank replied as if reading his mind. Erik nodded and went up the stairs. When he got to the room Pietro was sitting in bed bouncing a blue ball off the wall. Erik couldn't put his finger on it but the kid reminded him of someone.

"Hey mind if I come in?" Pietro looked towards him and shrugged. Erik took that as a yes and entered the room.

"You're the guy that saved me right?" Erik nodded "thanks, sorry I'm not really use to this" 'don't worry it runs in the family' Erik thought.

"My students call me Magneto, come to think of it most people call me Magneto" he sends Pietro a smile. Scott and Storm who were currently spying from the air vent gasped in shock.

"I'm Pietro most people call me Quicksilver" Erik didn't understand 'like mercury does that mean he knows I'm his dad?' "I got the name because of my super speed when I run all anyone sees is a flash of silver

"I see, I got my name because I can manipulate medals at my will" after a few minutes of silence Erik dug through his pockets and pulled out a deck of cards "Want to play Uno" Pietro nodded and they played for about four hours. After that Erik would come to Pietro's room every day to check on him. They would talk and play a game of Uno, Erik tried to play chest with Pietro but he got bored of chest very quickly. Erik enjoyed the time he spent with his son and grew very close to him. A month later Hank asked Erik to meet with him and Charles.

"We found Pietro's sister," Charles said as Erik entered the room. "She is in his room talking to him, we both think it is time you tell them before they leave" Hank nods. 'Leave?' Erik's stomach dropped. He hasn't even got to meet his daughter yet. Erik darted out of the room up to Pietro's room. He looked in to see Pietro and a red-haired girl crying and hugging 'this is it'

Pietro's point of view
I can't believe everything that has happened recently first I'm dead and then I'm not. next thing I know I'm thrown in a ship and taken to some sort of Castle. But I really have enjoyed being here aside from being locked in a room for the first two weeks. I've made a lot of friendships. The person I've become closest to is Erik he has been kind of like a dad to me. I would give anything to be his real son.

"Pietro?" I'm interrupted from my thoughts by a small cry I look up to see someone I never thought I'd see again.

"Wanda" Joy rushes through me as I dart over to my younger sister. I hug her as though I thought I might lose her. For the first time in my life, I don't care who sees me cry. I hear a knock at the door before Erik starts to open it. Wanda quickly wipes away the tears in her eyes.

"Hello, my name is Wanda thank you so much for finding my brother" she smiles reaching out to shake Erik's hand.

"Wanda Pietro I need to tell you something" I turn to him "My name is Erik Lehnsherr, I am your father" What that's impossible.

"No our father died when a mortar shell hit our apartment building" I don't understand, shouldn't I be happy just a minute ago I was wishing he was my father.

"When you were two and Wanda was one I left both of you" my heart broke into a million pieces. He abandoned us, he abandoned me "I found out that your mom died two months later and you were in a foster home" Anger and sorrow flood me. He didn't want me.

"You didn't even try to find us" I glare at Erik. My knees feel weak and my chest hurts.

"Pietro" he reached out for me but I pushed him away before dashing off. Everything hurts and all I can think about is running so I do.

Erik's point of view
"You didn't even try to find us" Pietro's voice shook in anger. The look of betrayal in his eyes hurts worse than a dagger to the heart. I want to hold him close and tell him everything is going to be okay.

"Pietro" I reach out for his shoulder but he pushes me away before dashing off. I turn to Wanda expecting the same reaction but instead I get a look of sympathy and understanding.

"I understand why you did it" I look at her a little confused how does she know? "I'm telepathic" I make a mental reminder not to ever make her mad. "Going that fast he'll tire out soon"

"I need to find out where he is going to stop" I look at her hoping for some kind of clue.

"He's going to Crystal Falls" Wanda looks at me with sad eyes, it's like all I'm able to do is cause my children sorrow. "It was our adopted mom's favorite place he always goes there when he's sad" I pull my daughter into a hug and tell her I love her before going to find Pietro.

It takes around an hour to get to Crystal Falls. When I get there Pietro is already sitting near the water's edge back against a tree looking down. As I get closer I can him crying softly. He doesn't notice I'm in front of him until I gently put a hand on his shoulder.

"Do you know what it feels like to be such a failure that your own dad doesn't want you" his voice is full of anger, more at himself than me. How could I ever have let my son think he is unwanted? I pull him close to me and look him in the eye.

"Pietro I didn't leave you because I didn't want you" I hug him "I left you because I didn't want you to get hurt" I feel him bury his head into my shoulder sobbing. I feel a mix of anger and sorrow, how could I have abandoned my children, before I realize tears are streaming down my face. I silently make a promise from this moment on to be the best father ever.

Third person point of view
After a while, Pietro finally let go and looked at his father "I forgive you"

"My turn" Wanda darted out from behind some bushes "Group hug" Pietro and Erik laughed then hugged her. Wanda felt so happy to finally have a family again.
