Arrested (Charles X Erik)

Charles' POV

This might be a very long one-shot so grab some twinkies and enjoy! (Trigger warning) They do have their powers but its very complicated, the prisoners have special anklets that suppress them and Charles knows about his telepathy but refuses to use it all the time.

I have been working for the police for three years, however, I do not go out and tackle people and fully arrest them. I am a guard at the prison, I do sometimes wish I could be a part of something bigger though. However, how they treat mutants is unfair. They suppress their powers.

Never have I ever dealt with such a crime like this one before. Erik Lehnsherr, arrested on suspicion of the murder of his son, Pietro. And even worse, possible rape. Pietro was 24 however, not a child, but that doesn't change anything. Erik is an evil vile man, I don't want to go anywhere near him.

I took my steps into the prison and made my way to Erik's cell. He was kept separate from the others, it is shocking that the reason they made him separate was that the inmates here were disgusted in Erik for what he did, the other inmates! He was in danger of being beaten up or killed. I didn't care though.

I was supposed to be giving him food, or what is supposed to be food. The food is just mushy slop. And I am never told what goes into it. Once again I didn't care, this man deserves all things bad, I feel for the others though, no one here has murdered or raped but only done drugs, stolen and robbed. Erik didn't belong is a softcore prison.

I placed the 'food' into his cell. I scowled at him. He was sitting facing a wall in the corner, muttering to himself.

"You are a monster," I muttered, not expecting him to snap his head around and hear me. His pupils were constricted and had a sense of insanity within them. I backed away from this cage he was in and quickly ran off. I was so afraid of this man.

It has been a few hours, I am on my break. I was enjoying my day until I was told I had to go to Erik's cell and help him with this strange illness he has. I am a doctor too, I forgot to mention, in fact, I'm the only doctor here, so I treat all the prisoners. I never hated it but now, I fear it. I don't want to help Erik, I want to let him die but that isn't what the police do.

I nervously made my way to his cell, an officer smiled and pointed at Erik who was lying on the rock hard bed. I clenched my first aid kit tightly.

"Claims he feels sick, he does have a high temperature because I checked. We need ya to give him something."

"I don't want to."

"What?"

I swallowed and sighed.

"Nevermind." I stood at the bars and opened the cage door. Erik's head perked up slightly.

"Don't fear we will be here guarding you." The officer reassured. It didn't make me feel less afraid. I placed my kit on the floor and crouched down.

"Uh, E-Erik-"

Erik's stared at me, his eyes practically red and swollen. Has be been crying?

"No." He muttered.

"No what?" I said, starting to feel confident.

"I don't want to be here." He whispered. I scoffed and wanted to strangle him, I wanted to kill him.

"You are a monster. You deserve it." I put a drop of antibiotics into a spoon and put it to his mouth. "Now, here."

Erik swallowed it and smiled.

"Thank you." He grinned and rested his head on the pillow.

I sighed and looked back at the officer, who was gone. I began to panic.
