Summary
“It is time for the strongest among us to take our place as the rightful rulers of this world,” Apocalypse says.
“You mean mutants?” Erik asks, finally feeling like he understands where this is going.
Apocalypse nods slightly.
“Sorry,” Erik tells him. “I don’t do that anymore.” Apocalypse tilts his head, mouth pressing into a thin line, and Erik adds, “You know how it is. You have kids and then all your career goals just go to shit.”
Or: the one where Apocalypse tries to use Erik’s family to take over the world.

Summary
Peter has a recurring nightmare about being locked up.
There’s probably some psychological reason for it, and he tries not to dwell on it. He’s busy being chased by the villain of the week, dealing with scrounging up enough money to pay the rent on his shitty apartment, and hanging around outside the donut shop where MJ works, trying not to look like a creep when he checks up on her.
Until he falls asleep, and doesn’t wake up again.
Until he falls asleep, and Tony breaks into the room where he’s locked up to rescue him.
- - -
Or, Peter was kidnapped shortly after Endgame by Quentin Beck, and he’s spent the past year and a half trapped in a series of illusions. Is everything that happened since the Battle Against Thanos real, or just an elaborate storyline Beck played out for his own amusement, with Peter as his personal puppet? Are Tony and May really alive, or is this just a dream?
How is Peter supposed to tell what’s real and what’s fake when everything seems too good to be true?

Summary
Erik knew the look, had seen it his whole life, even before the war. ”You, with your height and blue eyes and straight nose, you can pass. You can be free of us. You are not marked with your difference.” If you only knew, he’d thought then. He thought the same thing now. And it was that thought, as much as anything, that made him move towards the gate.
