XMFC/Kiss and Control

The next morning, Charles is awake far earlier than he normally would be, for once not having to be woken up by Erik's insistence. He's quiet and distant throughout breakfast, and with no classes first thing he quickly withdraws himself to his study.

It doesn't matter what Erik or anyone else says, he's still in turmoil over what he had almost done to Emma. He no longer trusts his own control. His powers have never truly scared him before now.

Erik looks into Charles' eyes.

"I'm ready when you are."

"What do you need?" Erik asks curiously.

He has always tried to move larger objects, but he knows he could use work on multiple objects and complex shaping. But what do telepaths do?

"Would you like to start with movement? Memory?"

Erik nods and throws up his walls. The ones he used to keep Emma out when she kidnapped him at New Year. The walls that kept Charles and the children safe.

It's strange without Charles touching his mind, but absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Erik feels the brush of Charles against his mind, but keeps him out. He needs to provoke Charles into acting.

In a split second, he lunges for Charles' chair, his knife flying from his belt to his hand.

The command half-works: Erik's arm spasms, the knife falling, but he still hits the chair and knocks Charles backwards a few inches.

Erik rolls onto his back and tries to catch his breath.

"A good first effort, liebe."

Erik looks up at Charles from the floor and resists the urge to sigh.

"You really think I could hurt you, Charles?"

He gets up and returns to his place on the sofa, rechecking his walls. "Again."

Erik pushes back, thinking of thick metal walls protecting his mind. He feels a pang of regret that he didn't bring his helmet, but that will have to wait until another day.

This time, Erik unleashes his power on Charles' chair, focussing on tearing it apart.

Erik feels his head go strangely empty.

Blank.

Nothing.

Erik is stopped.
diecastking: (worried)

[personal profile] diecastking 2012-06-18 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Erik stutters to life.

"Yes, Charles?"

Erik frowns. He doesn't exactly remember what happened, but obviously Charles stopped him.

"I'm fine, liebe. That was good - you stopped me."
diecastking: (worried)

[personal profile] diecastking 2012-06-18 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Erik follows him, kneeling in front of Charles' chair.

"Charles, stop. This is exactly what we need to train. We now know you can stop me - you have to refine it to stop me in the way you want."
