So that is what I am, in your eyes, then? A murderer? He didn't allow himself to ask the question.
"I know that you will fight by my side, son," Erik said quietly. "I have always known that" He thought for a moment. "I have some things. Of your mother's. They are in a safe location--a box. In a bank. If you want, I will give these things to you. I had meant to give them to Wanda, one day, but I don't know..." he trailed off, staring moodily at the passers-by for a moment before shaking his head. "They are pictures, and some letters. Because of the violence of my life, I have never wanted them with me. But I think you would like to have them, maybe."
Erik felt rather self-conscious. He was many things, but a father--no. Maybe once, long ago, but that man was gone now along with the name he never used.* He did not know what Pietro wanted from him.
*I think that, canonically, Erik Lehnsherr is an alias but we don't know what his real name is. I'm pretending that Erik won't ever tell :)
