Summary
To his absolute horror, the deadbolt on the kitchen door turns on its own. Peter watches in slow motion as the door creeps open and a figure appears on the other side, decked out in a trench coat and fedora like some sort of private detective.
Peter’s father steps through the threshold.
Peter’s standing there like an idiot with sticky fingers, brandishing a steak knife at him.
Peter’s father—Erik—notices this and stares at him, shocked. Peter is glad at this moment to have one-upped the man, but that’s quickly overridden by the emotional weight of the fact that his dad is standing right there, not ten feet from him. And Peter’s kinda threatening him with a weapon. A metal one. His dad, the terrorist, the guy who can move metal. Metal that belongs to the knife. The knife which Peter holds. Iron in the air, blood in his mouth (maybe for real this time).
Peter drops the knife as if it were burning him, and it clatters to the ground.

Rising anti-Mutant sentiments—especially in the D.C. area—have made Peter’s mother decide that sending him away would be the safest thing for him, especially considering his involvement in breaking Magneto out of prison.
