Clad in a grey coat, walking through a Ukrainian city, Erik notices how much this country has changed since he was last here - decades ago.
He didn’t miss it.
He’s here following the trail of a retired slaver, a man guilty of buying and selling thousands of mutants. The trail is clear; the man expects no one to be looking too hard for him. Erik is already planning what he’s going to do to the wretch.
Lost in thought as he is, he’s lucky that the disturbance that pulls him out of his reverie is only a beggar child. He’s about to turn her away - she will remember him better if he gives, and he has no wish to be remembered - when his eyes land on her face, and he blanches.
It’s Anya. The beggar child looks like Anya. Magneto clenches his fist. He knows this must be a hallucination, and he curses himself for giving in to madness once again. Has he become so lost to the past that he now sees it in the faces around him?
