Summary
AU Sarov isn't willing to take any chances with the detonation of the bomb in Murmansk. Rather than taking Alex with him, and risking the boy he views as the reincarnation of his dead son, Sarov drugs him and sends him ahead to Russia. When Alex wakes, it is to a world in the midst of a nuclear winter. Numbed by grief and terror that the general isn't done, Alex must learn to navigate his new role as Sarov's beloved son and try to carve out some room to shape his own identity under the shadow of the general's oppressive regard.

All I want for Christmas is you by Respectable for Zyzyax

Summary
The first thing that Alex notices when he wakes up again, is the radio playing. He probably should have focused more on the fact that his hands are bound uncomfortably behind his back or that he’s lying on his side in a moving vehicle. But it’s the radio that he latches onto first. It’s a terribly kitschy Michael Bublé rendition of I’ll be home for Christmas.

Summary

Summary
The luck of the devil, they’d always called it, just like his father. Only, looking at his uninvited visitor, Alex was starting to think perhaps they’d meant it rather more literally. If it really was the devil’s luck, it seemed he had come to take his due.
It turns out Alex's luck is a little too good to be natural and Magneto, seeing parallels of himself in Alex's forced service to MI6, tries to recruit him to the Mutant Brotherhood.

Summary
Alex can remember when he used to go to school and hang out with his friends. When his biggest worry had been failing a test or losing a football match. In his memory, those days are preserved in vivid, vibrant color. Everything had felt so real then. So meaningful. But somewhere along the way, dealing with supervillains had made him realise that the world doesn't always work properly, it's full of cracks and bugs that no one else can seem to pick up on. So it's more of a confirmation than a surprise when Morpheus shows up to recruit him to their cause.
