"You... lied to me!"

Erik was being strangled by Roger, making it impossible for him to focus on controlling the metal pieces in the sky. He struggled to speak to Roger, trying to use his powers to manipulate metal blades and other sharp objects to strike Roger.

But unfortunately, even those magnificent metallic monuments had no effect on Roger. Regardless of their number, those small blades were useless against him.

Apocalypse and Erik had planned well, aiming to separate Roger, whom they found troublesome, and then split up to take on Charles.

However, they made a mistake.

They shouldn't have split up.

One-on-one, aside from the Phoenix and Apocalypse, Roger didn't fear anyone in the X-Men universe, including Erik before him.

So their separation only gave Roger the chance to defeat them one by one.

"I didn't lie to you."

Yet, Roger had no intention of killing Erik now. Even though he held Erik's life in his hands, he didn't intend to crush his throat. He just wanted to prevent Erik from concentrating on using his powers, while asking him:

"Maximoff, does that surname ring a bell?"

"What...?"

Hearing that name, Erik's eyes widened, and he stopped struggling momentarily.

Roger landed on the ground with him, throwing him to the ground, and repeated, "Maximoff, it's the surname of your former lover, isn't it? She had a child with you, a boy, and he's all grown up now."

Erik no longer tried to attack Roger. He thought back to that name and, after a long pause, asked Roger:

"Are you... telling the truth?"

"Looks like you really had some romantic escapades outside..."

Hearing Erik's acknowledgment, Roger spoke with a tone of admiration.

Roger had noticed this while watching the movies. Erik seemed like a mutant supremacist, always wanting to create a society exclusively for mutants. But at the same time, he was a bit of a playboy.

Aside from his now-deceased wife and daughter, there was also an affair with an old lover many years ago, which led to the birth of Quicksilver.

Additionally, according to the X-Men TV series, there was a girl named Polaris who was also believed to be Erik's child.

Counting all this, Erik had at least three romantic liaisons, resulting in one son and two daughters. If the rights to Wanda had already reverted to Marvel back then, Erik might have had another daughter.

With so many wives, lovers, and children, Roger admitted that he couldn't match Erik's exploits, so he genuinely felt a bit of admiration for him.

Erik didn't understand what Roger was admiring about him, nor did he want to discuss his past affairs with Roger. After a moment of silence, he asked:

"Who is he?"

"Hmm?"

"The boy you mentioned, who is he?"

Learning that he had a son out there, Erik lost his will to fight. Now, he only wanted to know who his son was.

"You've met him before. Remember the young guy who broke you out of prison ten years ago?"
