Peter Maximoff (Quicksilver) x Reader

You're the reason

You were running through a dark corridor. You didn't know why but you had to keep running no matter what.

"Run (Y/N)!" A male voice yelled.

You did as he told you and continued to run. You found an iron door and pushed. It made an ear splitting screech and opened. You looked back to see men running after you. Two bodies, a male and female, were on the ground bleeding and motionless. You started to cry and teleported into the forest. You ran to the nearest abandoned building and hid. You pulled a back pack out from under rusting equipment and changed your blood stained clothing. Then you saw them. You saw the two people who were laying dead on the floor of your home.

"This is all your fault," the two said in unison, "You killed us!"

You tried backing away but you were frozen in fear. The male teleported to you and pulled you up into a chokehold.

"You are the reason we were killed. You are the reason they will win. You are the reason for the world's destruction!!"

You clawed at his hands but you just phased through him. Then you started to shake.

"(Y/N)!!" You heard someone say, "Wake up!!"

You opened your eyes and Peter removed your hands from your throat. After a few minutes your breathing returned to normal. Peter had you in his arms the whole time, rubbing your back to calm you down.  You didn't shed a single tear. You had shed enough tears for those you killed.

"Why do you love me?" You asked him, "I'm a monster. I killed so many innocent people and left their families heart broken.  What do you see in me that no one else does?"

He moved a piece of hair out of your face and replied, "I see a girl who is a survivor.  I see a girl who had everything taken away from her.  I see a girl who needs someone to put her pieces back together. And you know what else?  She has some pretty damn good taste in music. And she stole my heart the moment I laid eyes on her."

"But-"

"What you did was not you, the real you. You are not the monster, they are.  This team saved you because they believe that you can help people.  They believe that you can become the good person you want to be."

He pulled you closer and hugged you.   You hugged back and remained in that position for about ten minutes.   When he let go of you the door opened and Erik walked in.

"(Y/N), can I please speak with you?"

You nodded hesitantly and walked out of the room.  You and Erik walked to the back garden that was full of plant life. 

"I usually come here to clear my head when the walls of the school become overbearing.  I am truly sorry about what happened yesterday.  We had no intentions to harm you.  I know the small amount of trust you had for us is gone.  I want to help you and I'm sure Peter does too, but you can't deal with all this pain alone.  Look at my memories. They helped me and I know that we can help you."

You stepped back and said, "I don't want to accidentally copy your powers."

"I believe you can control your powers.  Also, even if you do copy my powers, Hank had already helped you.  He injected you with something that prevents you from feeling your body change."

He held out his hand and you put your hand on top of it. His memories flashed in your head the second you made skin contact.

A boy celebrating with his mother.
The same boy being separated from his mother. You could see the pain in his eyes as he bent the metal gate.  Another memory appeared as he was being operated and experimented on. Then you saw a woman and her daughter being shot by an arrow. Erik then killed all of the men with a locket.  Erik was now at auschwitz destroying the the buildings with his ability.  The last memory was him defending his family from a man in blue.

"How can you live with all of this pain?" You asked him.

He responded, "I have my family to help me with that.  We only want to help you. Will you let us?"

You nodded and said, "Yes."
