Ok but what about a Dadneto AU with Scott and Jean’s kids: Imagine Jean was pregnant in DP and has Scott’s kids and they end up on earth by some magical way or whatever but SCOTT NEVER KNEW SHE WAS PREGNANT. so in like sixteen years a girl named Rachel and a boy named Nathan come to Xaviers looking for a place to stay but they look incredibly familiar to Scott unfortunately he can’t ask them about it because every time they see him they run away.
you really said: "okay, but imagine pain."
okokok but imagine jean (before she realized that xavier locked her memories away and angst and stuff) telling xavier but her wanting him to keep it a secret. like- scott would definitely call charles and he would have no idea if he should keep it a secret or not.
scott: "they just- something about them reminds me of her so much, you know? i know it's a dumb thing to wonder but i just wanted to ask."
charles, conflicted: "well... uh- i cared about all of you kids so much it felt like you were my children too?"
scott: "ok... well i've never interacted with them they just kinda spy on me."
charles, having peter and erik flashbacks: "well... um... maybe you should just... talk to them?"
and scott would be like "thanks professor!! have a nice day" and just be nice to him like the softie he is
