You lay on the floor, your vision clouded, your brain fuzzy. Memories of what had happened were slipping from your mind. Darkness crept into your vision, your husbands voice swimming through your brain. Your son, Edward, screamed in what seemed like the distance, but you knew it was right next to you.

"Y/N, Y/N, I need you to focus on my voice. You're okay, I promise." Charles spoke, bringing you briefly out of your trance. Your vision cleared slightly, his concerned face becoming visible.

"Charles." You whisper, your voice barely audible over Edward's crying. You knew what had happened now, but you didn't want to believe it. It was too soon, Edward was too young.

An arm wrapped around you, Charles pulling you close to him. He kept you sitting, talking to you to bring you out of the dwindling conciousness lull. Slowly but surely, you were back to full conciousness. You only felt weak physically, but Charles had set up a mental link to boost you mentally.

"Mommy, I'm sorry! I don't know why!" Edward sobbed, his voice causing you to wince at its volume. He froze, covering his mouth after realizing what he had done. You wanted nothing more than to reach out and tell him it's okay, that it's an accident, but you couldn't.

"Edward, little man, it's okay. I told you about my...abilities.. right?" Charles asked, gingerly helping you to your feet. Edward nodded, his seven year old brain trying to remember what his father did.

Cooking? No, that wasn't it. Snake charming? No, that wasn't it either. Dancing? Definitely not. Did it have something to do with brain human stuff? It has to.

"Brains?.." He asked caustiously, taking into consideration what he just did to his mother. You nodded, gently poking Edward on the head before making your way to a chair. Charles kneeled down to his son's level, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"I have a power, a superpower or sorts." Charles added, unsure how to really tell his young child about what his dad truly did for a living. Edward nodded, waiting for him to continue.

"Like Wolverine?"

"Similar yes. I can read and talk in others minds. I use this for good and I can control it, but it seems you, Ed, have developed the same one."

"So I'm a monster?" Edward asked, his eyes welling with tears. Confused, Charles rubbed his hand up and down his son's arm, trying to get him to stop crying.

"Am I a monster?" Charles asked him back, realizing what was happening. You looked over at this point, genuinly concerned.

"No you're daddy!" Edward yelled, poking Charles cheek. Charles grinned, picking up his son in his arms.

"Then you're not a monster, little man. Come on, let's go make sure mum's alright." He cooed, changing his entire demeaner to dad mode. It was something you nicknamed when you got pregnant, laughing everytime he got protective about the baby. It was like he thought he wouldn't be safe, even though you both know he would be. You had moved to the couch in the other room, the door still open.

"I'm sorry." Edward mumbled, gratefully sitting in your lap. Despite being nearly eight years old, he was still quite cuddly and attached. Must really be the Charles in him.

"It's okay, you just can't control your powers yet." You soothe him, rubbing his back. Charles sat beside you two, bringing you a glass of water for the headache he knew you must be feeling.

"Do you have any powers?" Edward asked, his eyes lighting up with excitement at the possibility.

"No, just your dad." You say, laughing. Charles brushed the hair from the side of your face, planting a kiss on your cheek.

"She has many powers.." Charles hinted, winking to you as you rolled your eyes. Edward looked confused again, wondering as to what he could mean. Cooking? Snake charmer? Dancer?

"She's the best mummy ever!" Edward giggled, wrapping his arms around your neck in a hug. You pulled him close, smiling even more as Charles held you both close. After such a discovery of new powers, a family hug was just the thing you all needed.
