[ Erik, on the other hand, has no expectation on what might happen, but he is absolutely prepared for the worst. He doesn't even blink when Scott reaches for his visor (though now he has the answer as to why he had that on indoors), only lifting an eyebrow in mild surprise. He knows he was a fucking asshole in this (supposedly potential) future, but he didn't expect an X-Man to outright attack him without any provocation whatsoever.
He is even more surprised that Logan even steps up for his sake. Maybe Logan's smarter than he gave him credit for, and realises the complications that would come from an incident like this— or maybe he made a promise to Charles, too. Either way, he's relieved for it. The last thing he wants is a fight but he worries that he would be pushed in that direction if Logan wasn't here right now. ]
Do you see me getting closer? [ He lifts both his hands, but it's a placating gesture, almost a surrender. Granted, it could turn into self-defense in a heartbeat. ] Believe it or not, I don't really want to fight you.
