Summary:
When Erik feels Charles fading, he goes
His Eternal Partner
The soft whisper in his mind was getting harder to hear.
That fact alone drew Erik out of his dreaming state, and up, into action.
For too many years, there had been strife between he and his truest partner.
It was time to end that.
The hold out of mutants in the ruins of the Mansion had not expected any relief. They had been in communication blackout when the attack began, had already lost some of their number.
To have every single weapon, tank, and aircraft suddenly pulled into a single pile of twisted metal was stunning, even sickening to the embattled students and teachers on some level, but ultimately, they wanted to live.
If that meant accepting Magneto as their savior, it was what it would be.
"You came."
"You were fading from me."
No one intruded. The ones who had been there longest understood this was for their mentors alone.
"You were, as ever, ruthless and hasty in your response."
"You, as always, my old friend, are a sanctimonious shill."
Slow smiles were shared, before Erik pressed his forehead to his beloved's.
"Never leave me again, Charles."
"I cannot promise, but perhaps we can find a middle path."
