Summary
Peter leans against the table of the interrogation room, drumming his fingers on it. He has large shackles around his neck and hands. He’s been in there for hours, but no one has come in. No one’s even told him what he’s there for. They just ran up to him as he was walking home, and dragged him to the police station. They put these shackles on him as soon as they grabbed him on the street. They were far more aggressive than they needed to be too.
Though to be fair, he had half a mind to run as soon as he realized that they were approaching him. He barely stopped himself, but since he didn’t do anything wrong, he has to assume that it’s a mistake of some sort.

Summary
"You found me."
The contact made goosebumps riot down her arm. She was distressingly aware of him in a way she hadn't been with Trevor. The feel of him so close was too intimate. Too much. It took her a few tries to speak.
"It seems I always do."
Post Hellraiser: Judgment. Human AU from that point forth.

Summary
The trouble with having a son whose primary existence was a beautiful blur of hyper-velocity was that Erik Lehnsherr, the Master of Magnetism, was constantly subjected to the micro-joys of domestic chaos.
For Erik, who had spent decades meticulously controlling every piece of metal on the planet to protect his own bruised heart, Peter was the only thing he couldn't contain, and simultaneously, the only thing he desperately wanted to keep close. Peter was a kinetic mess, an electrical storm, but he was his.
They were residing in a converted research hangar—concrete walls, steel-reinforced everything, chosen by Erik for its sheer remoteness. He had configured the magnetic fields around the structure to be perfectly stable, a pocket of peace in a turbulent world.
And every morning, Peter found a way to make it beautifully, lovingly unstable.

Summary
“I see that Peter’s made himself known,” Charles says, ever-so-chipper but there’s something a little strained behind the cheer.
It’s then that Erik recognizes the male as the energetic teenager who had broken him out of the Pentagon all those years ago. Well, no longer a teenager now. He looks drastically different than the last time that Erik had saw him, and it can’t simply be chalked up to puberty. What had happened to the lively teenager who had chatted his ear off in elevator, and later on the car ride away from the facility? Today, he had presented himself as quiet and subdued—almost skittish. Physically, he looked malnourished, dressed in ill-fitting clothes that hid the bones no doubt visible underneath.
“...Is that so?” Erik murmurs, eyes still fixed on where the young man had been moments ago.
(or, erik returns to a place he'd once called home and finds the ghost of a young man he'd once knew)
