What if Erik met his son years before Days of Future Past??
Days after days, Erik dedicates his life to revenge, and spends his life in the frustration of searching for Sebastian Shaw- the greatest threat of his life, a frightening specter, and his...

Erik had never left Pietro for a long time after they arrived at the Mansion. He spent the whole night sitting in the chair beside Pietro's bed. His son was still lying limp unconscious, even though Hank had said many times that he would be fine, it still couldn't calm Erik.
Erik couldn't feel more guilty, it was clear they were after him, but it was his son who had to suffer. Erik began to feel that he would only continue to give his son trauma and pain.
Erik couldn't stand all the horrible scars on Pietro's arms, he hated what these lecherous people have done to his son. Erik once again felt what it was like to be a failed father. Previously, he had failed to protect his daughter––Anya from the cruel world, and now he had also failed to protect his Son. Erik had failed to give a good life to his children.
All he wanted was to see his son have a much better life than him.
Erik's head began to slump tiredly, burying his face in between his left arm while his right arm was still holding Pietro's hand, hoping he would wake up soon. Although because of that his back started to hurt. But Erik didn't really care about that, he was just too busy watching his son.
Pietro's small whimper immediately turned all of Erik's attention to him. A feeling of relief overtook Erik as Pietro slowly opened his eyes, and with that Erik called for Hank to come over immediately.
“Papa……” Pietro's tired voice gave out.
"Yes, Pietro......I'm here" said Erik while gently squeezing Pietro's hand.
"A-Are you okay?" Pietro asked the question.
Erik nods sadly at Pietro he assures him that everything is fine.
Hank came to check on Pietro and once again he reassured Erik that his son would be fine. A feeling of relief overcame Erik, he gave Hank a small smile, couldn't be more grateful to him.
Hank left them in peace, Erik grabbed Pietro's back, helping him slowly to a sitting position. Erik took a seat beside him, feeling Pietro leaning his head on his shoulder.
"You need something? Want something to eat?" Erik asked, he would be ready if Pietro needed anything.
Pietro shook his head.
"I'm afraid, Papa...."
Sadness and anger welled up in Erik's chest, this terrible world had left a real fear on his Son.
"It's okay, I'm here, you don't need to be afraid," Erik said while giving Pietro a gentle stroke on the back, trying to make Pietro feel safe.
In the next few hours, Erik could no longer get Pietro's refusal to eat. It seemed weird to Erik when his son, who was usually always excited when it came to food, would now simply refuse to eat.
Erik stared at Pietro desperately as his son stared at the food with an expression like he was about to throw up. Erik intended to feed him but Pietro refuses, not wanting to give his father any more work. Erik made sure Pietro devoured the food little by little, at least giving him enough food would help maintain his current energy.
