Erik walks the halls with purpose, shoving everyone who tries to get in his way, Raven’s words replaying in his mind. 'His name is Charles Xavier. He’s my brother, and maybe the strongest telepath in this world.' A soldier foolishly attempts to get back up after Erik pushes him down, and Erik summons a gun to shoot him. 'Shaw took him from us when we were young. When Charles managed to contact me before, he told me that Shaw never trusts him to go anywhere alone, and the only time he’s left alone is for punishment.'
He is past the corridors, and is two rooms away from his current goal. He feels a sense of satisfaction when the men in the first one - mere administrators, not a fighting bone in their body - scurry away. Erik knows they won’t interfere, but throws them to the walls anyway. 'And when he’s being punished, they lock him in a little room, with special walls that keep him from being able to touch anyone’s mind.'
The door to the second room is thick and heavy - but, indisputably, metal. Erik holds out his arm and crushes it. He has never had to exert so little effort to use his power before, and Erik knows it will only become better.
Erik feels the man before he sees him. There is relief and affection curling around him, and something else Erik can’t name.
“Come for me, have you?” Charles asks, lips quirking up. It’s the first time Erik’s seen the man so clearly, the first time he’d seen the man smile, and the first time he’d heard the man’s real voice outside his own head. Erik can’t stop his lips from giving an answering smile.
“Just come to return the favour.” He answers, walking towards Charles.
Erik holds out a hand, and Charles grasps it firmly.
“Let’s give him hell,” Charles says, and Erik is certain that from that moment on, nothing can stop them.
How did MacTaggert possibly find Raven when there’s no “genetics” lead via Charles? Well, Raven found her, actually. Charles still meets Raven (just earlier) and essentially gets his parents to adopt her (so, think that they met when Charles’ dad was still alive, so parents are more accepting), but Shaw manages to kidnap Charles sometime before he finds Magneto. Raven spends most of her life and quite a bit of her considerable trust fund looking for her brother and hears rumours about a group with mystical powers. She follows her leads to the Hellfire club and manages to see Charles, who tells her to hide because Shaw was far too dangerous, and if she wants to succeed in helping him she has to follow MacTaggert.
As usual, sorry for any mistakes. @_@ Totally not read-through, and my only beta is out of commission for a month. Not to mention she hasn’t seen the movie.
