[Charles flinches at the sudden surge of memory, and it's terrifying, worse than a movie, not just because of the content but because he's getting what Erik had felt (still feels, really), too, and Raven had told him he needed to learn not to snoop, but underneath all that, he can still see that Erik is like him and that is just. Amazing.]
I'm like you. [He'd blurted it out before he'd thought hey maybe this is a bad idea, maybe it might just scare him more and he really didn't want to do that.] That's how you can understand me. See? [He projects it gently, trying to show him.] I'm not really speaking German, and I can make people go away, if they want to hurt someone.
[He switches back to speech, worried he'll be afraid. Maybe he doesn't want to know there are other people out there like him.] Calm down. I won't let him hurt you again, I promise.
