The Little Lehnsherr

Max Lehnsherr Eight || ADHD Animal Telepathy & Animal Scrying

[cptdeadphool]

Not many things made Wade nervous despite the fact that he wasn’t anything special. There were no powers to back him up, but Wade had always been skilled with weapons. Carrying a sword into an event like this wouldn’t be allowed, so of course his jacket was packed with many, many knives instead. Of course, he also had his pistols named Hansel and Gretel just in case. Realizing Raven really didn’t want to talk to him anymore, he turned to the person on his left and whispered, “I am breaking the lock on that cage and no one will stop me.”

[littlelehnsherr]

“I’ll help you,” Max whispered back. The pained cries from the animals had been calling to him since the circus arrived. He’d only snuck in to free them. And see the people perform, but mostly to free those caged animals.

[littlelehnsherr]

“Hello there,” Max whispers at the animal. He could feel their impatience with the cage, their longing to be free. The cages were cruel in his mind. So the only thing stopping him from opening them all was figuring out how. It was only a matter of time.

Pietro’s blink is long and slow. He knows exactly where Max had ended up. The same world he’d pulled Jean from, the world where there was an alternate Klara and Alex with the funny hair. It didn’t sit well with him, knowing his brother had crossed over into it unattended. “And you’re just mentioning that… now?” His concerns about Max living here faded to the back of his mind. If Max could just slip through time so easily, did that mean someone could cross over the same?

“I forgot. I thought I said earlier.” Things slipped his mind-- he was sure he’d told someone... Maybe not. Pietro’s uncharacteristically slow blink makes him think he’s going to get in trouble, so he adds, “I didn’t mean to do it!”

[littlelehnsherr]

acceleratxd:

Pietro had to admit his little brother had a few good points there. He scrunched his face up as he nodded along while Max spoke. “Alright, that may be true but I know for a fact we could do better than here.” He wished there was another school like this, but not one run by the Professor. While he didn’t harbor any ill will towards the man, he didn’t agree with his methods or the company he chose to keep. It takes him a moment of going back over Max’s words before he is looking down at his brother with tightly knit brows. “Wait, did you say you saw another time period?”

“But I like it here!” Max, being as young as he is, doesn’t know about the problems Pietro does. All he knows is that here, he doesn’t get yelled at as much-- though he does still get told off -- and he has friends here. And family. More than he hoped for when Pietro found him. “Oh. Um. Yeah. It was ages ago. I was looking around the mansion. And then I wasn’t in it any more. Or I was, but it was different. And when I went outside it was all horses and carriages and stuff.”

acceleratxd:

Pietro has to smirk at that, amused at how much the siblings he’d never met before this year were somehow so alike to him. “A normal life is a safe life,” he reminds Max, ruffling the boy’s curls. 

“But then I’d never get to see another time period. Or meet people with powers like mine. Or any of that stuff! I’d just end up in another group home. And they’re not safe!” Max had been told more than once he’d just end up in group homes, and even at his age, he knew they were no good.

[littlelehnsherr]

@acceleratxd said:  “We tried to give you a normal life. I realize now I have no clue what that is.” [next to normal starters | accepting]

“I don’t need a normal life.” Max shrugs. He’d been in foster homes as long as he could remember, moving around every few months. “I prefer it here.”

cfmagneto:

Erik was aware of what school the boy was referencing. “You all come out here for some sort of field trip?” He asks which isn’t necessarily a bad idea considering mutants should be aware of what laws were being made against them. He glances around them for a moment. “Where were you headed?”

“Yeah. Our teachers want us to see this summit for registration.” Some of the language of it had gone over Max’s head, but he’d tried his best to figure out what was going on. The problem was, he couldn’t manage to focus on it long enough. “Uh.. I don’t know. Just exploring. The others didn’t want me in the room.”

[littlelehnsherr]

cfmagneto:

It wasn’t often that someone wasn’t running from him when they have heard about him. Erik was intrigued. “It’s nice to meet you, Max. Are you here alone? Where are your parents?” He doesn’t see anyone else here, but he wasn’t about to go and assume. They were in a hotel after all.

Max almost tells Erik exactly where his dad is, but thinks better of it at the last second. He’s afraid that Erik will reject him suddenly, and doesn’t want that at all. “Um. I’m actually here with my school. For the summit. Thing.”

[littlelehnsherr]

cfmagneto:

His feet stop in their tracks when a child stops him. Erik pulls his hands out from the pockets of his coat, tilting his head while observing the boy. “Hello there.” He responds while flashing a smile to him. If he is aware of who he was then he must not be afraid considering he’d assume he wouldn’t have been stopped otherwise. He steps closer, but leaving some room between them still. “Do you know who I am, boy?” He asks with a soft tone, one he was still capable of having despite everything he has done.

“Yeah. ‘course. You’re Magneto. Erik Lehnsherr.” Max rattles off the names with a shrug. He wasn’t afraid, though maybe he ought to be. But he was pretty sure his dad wouldn’t hurt him. Even if he didn’t know he was Max’s dad. “I’m Max.”

[cfmagneto]

There was no time for hiding, not when the mutant registry was so close to being passed. Erik will make it known that there are those that oppose the decisions they were making if he has to. Which was why he will be attending the Registration Act Summit tomorrow. He steps out of the hotel room he booked for the night, all under a false name of course considering all too many know him after all he has done. Erik starts making his way down the hallway slowly, trying not to bring attention to himself just yet.

[littlelehnsherr]

Max had basically been kicked out of his room until he calmed down for a bit, so he was wandering the halls (unbeknownst to the teachers) alone. He was humming to himself, not really focused on anything until he saw Erik. It wasn’t hard to recognise the man. Once Max had been told who his father was, he’d started trying to find out as much as he could, mostly through googling. Now, he stood, awed, a few feet from him. “Hi.”

[littlelehnsherr]

riotrevolution:

“Youlittlef–” Quentin’s eyes were wide with anger. He furrowed his brow and spoke directly into the little boy’s mind. “If you do not stop, I will make you stop.”

“And how will you do that?” Max retorted. He wasn’t scared of someone speaking in his mind; he could hear animals all the time. Besides, Quentin was more interesting than nothing.

[littlelehnsherr]

dernachtkriecher:

     Kurt winced as someone kicked the back of his seat. He heard a child whining from behind of him, and let out a deep breath, inaudible, before turning around and crouching on the seat to look over the back of the seat in now in front of him. “Hallo, kleiner mann,” he said, smiling at the boy. “I do not know how much long it ez before we get there, but unteel then, would you like to play a game?”

“What kind of game?” he asked, eyeing up the blue mutant. “I’ll play a game.”

[littlelehnsherr]

riotrevolution:

“Hey kid! Watch it!” Quentin snarled, spinning around.

Max paused for a second, looking up at the elder mutant before laughing. Was he going to get himself in trouble? Sure. Was it more fun than nothing? Yes. So, tentatively, he kicked the chair again.

[littlelehnsherr]

“How much longer are we on this bus?” Max groaned. “Are we there yet?” He was feeling annoying, with pent up energy and nowhere to let it out. His attention jumped around as he kicked the seat in front of him.

pyrotxchnicality:

“Why are you lying? Where is your brother? Actually you know what, he probably helped you take it. I’ll ask your sister instead.”

“You’re going to tell on me to Wanda?” Max stared at Jubilee. “I told you I didn’t take it!”

[pyrotxchnicality]

@littlelehnsherr said:  “Gnome? What gnome?”

“You know what gnome, you little…” Jubilee made a noise of frustration rather than call an eleven year old exactly what he is. She was trying to be a grown up here. “My gnome. The ugly thing I keep outside my door that wears sunglasses, like these, that you obviously stole.” She points to her sunglasses as she folds her arms over her chest.

[littlelehnsherr]

“Oh that gnome. Uh... No clue. I don’t know. I didn’t take it.”
