“They have Peter,” Erik’s voice is breaking. “They have our son.”
The teacup Charles was holding shatters on the floor. “What happened?”
Erik’s trembling hands produce the package that had been dropped on the mansion’s doorstep. A tuft of silver hair spills onto Charles’ desk, along with a typed letter and a polaroid.
“They said they want information about Cerebro. They know I helped you build it. And I – I put Peter in danger, taking him in. This is my fault.” Erik all but collapses into Charles. “He doesn’t know anything about Cerebro, but they don’t know that. They’re hurting him, Charles.”
Charles Xavier is not a vengeful person. But one look at the Polaroid on his desk fills him with an unusual rage. Peter’s kidnappers had cut his hair – and scalp in some places – and there were bruises flowering across his face. There’s no telling what damage has been done to the rest of his body.
“Erik,” Charles whispers, rubbing his husband’s shaking shoulders. “We’re going to get him back. No matter what it takes. We’re going to bring our son home.” *** Whumptober prompts fulfilled: search party, wound cleaning, stitches, team as family
