I JUST THINK THAT MAYBE JAKE LOCKLEY

I JUST THINK THAT MAYBE JAKE LOCKLEY

Legal Guardian

Writer's note: I miss Dadneto. We were robbed. Also love Charles Xavier as Peter's unofficial father figure. Also the gif isn't mine.

It wasn't Peter's first time in police cell, and he was sure it won't be his last. Peter Maximoff sat alone in his cell, bored out of his mind.

He was caught for stealing. Again. Yes, he could've just escaped like usual but he didn't want to really be on the run forever.

"Mr. Maximoff, your mother is not picking up the phone. Is there any other adult that we may call? Your father perhaps?" The officer says, holding a phone in his hand.

Peter bites his cheeks. His father... Erik Lehnsherr. No, he didn't even know Peter was his son. It would be a terrible time to break the news. 'Hey Erik, fun fact! I'm your son! Now can you bail me out of prison?' It would absolutely tarnish his relationship with the man.

"Uh, yeah," Peter says. "I guess you can call uh Charles Xavier. He's not my dad, but... he's close enough."

"Splendid," The officer says, smiling at the boy. “What’s the number?”

"I see... Of course... I'll be there... Thank you."

Charles Xavier run's his hand through his hair, putting the phone down. He sighs.

"What was that all about?" Erik asks, moving his chess piece.

"It was Peter, he's currently detained. I need to bail him out," Charles says, putting on a brown coat. "Guess, we'll have to continues this later, Erik."

Erik looks back at Charles. His mind reeling. Peter was detained? Whatever for?

For stealing

The voice rung in Erik's head. Erik glares at Charles who only smiles at him. Amusement lacing his face. "Well then, I'll just follow you," Erik says, standing up and getting his leather coat.

Charles purses his lips. He didn't know if that would be the best course of action. Especially since Erik was Peter’s father. But how else would be deny Erik.

“Come on, we better hurry. I would rather Peter not be stuck in that cell for any longer,” Erik says, summoning his keys and patting Charles on the shoulder. Charles nods.

~ “Your legal guardian in here Mr. Maximoff.”

“Legal guardian?” Peter says, looking up.

“Uh, no, I’m sorry, i’m not his legal guardian,” Charles says, smiling awkwardly to the officer.

“How did you get yourself into this situation now, Peter?” Erik asks, touching the cold metal bars. He wanted nothing more than to bend it, but alas, Charles would’ve scold him for it. Peter freezes, noticing Erik who was smiling softly at him. A lump forms in his throat. Why was he here? Peter didn’t answer Erik, only looking down at the grey floor.

“I see… Alright, thank you so much,” Charles says to the officer who opens the door of the cell. Peter quickly scampers out of the cell.

~

“We’ll be off now. Thank you officer!” Charles says, waving as he goes into the passenger seat of the car in which both Erik and Peter already were sat in.

Peter nervously fidgets in his seat. He always hated car rides. They were too slow in his opinion. And now he was stuck with Erik Lehnsherr. The one man he had been avoiding for all his life.

You should tell him the truth.

Peter purses his lips, looking up to see Charles staring at him, Charles nods at him. Gesturing for him to do it. Peter bites the inside of his cheek.

If you don’t, I will. Trust me Peter, He’ll be accepting.

Peter sighs, hearing Charles’ voice ring through his head. He clears his throat. “So, uh Erik, I have something I wanted to uh, share, with you…”

“Oh? And what is that?” Erik says, focused on the road. Peter looks at Charles who gives him a reassuring look.

“Well, uh… imyourson.”

“Pardon? I didn’t catch that.”

“I’m… I’m your son,” Peter repeats, letting the words leave his mouth slowly and clearly. The car comes to an abrupt stop. No- I know I shouldn’t have done that-

“I- Your my son? Why… Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Erik says, turning back to look at Peter.

“Well I- I just- I didn’t know how you would react…” Peter admits, not daring to look his father in the eyes. Erik’s face softens.

“Oh Peter. Why would I be anything but overjoyed?” Erik says. Peter’s eyes widen as he looks back up to see Erik smiling, genuinely, at him. Erik turns back and starts driving.

Peter sits speechless, glancing at Charles who looks at him with an ‘I told you so’ look on his face. Peter scoffs, smiling at him.

“I guess we have a lot to catch up on then,” Erik says, breaking the silence.

“Son.”

The absolute chaos that would happen if Peter Maximoff and Peter Parker met-

Peter. P: How fast do you think we can go if you ran off a building and I quickly shot a web

Peter M: I don't know, lets find out

Wanda, Dr.Strange, Tony, Erik and Charles: NO- ABSOLUTELY NOT-

We do learn from the best, you silly old bird.

from @top5series

the hologram thing OP talked about was interesting- honestly the fact his eyes glowed in the end credit scene felt very like a machine being turned on so could be a hologram.

Proof that the Professor has been possessed:

His fur is a different colour. His eyes are a different colour. And yet, in the picture, he has his original colour, which means this is not just an updated design, we are supposed to notice the difference.

Also, his satchel. His satchel dropped somewhere else when he fell into the mouth of the dinosaur, and it also wasn’t mentioned in any of the articles Ryan went on. Only the hat and the glasses. So… why does he have his satchel back?

This one might be a reach in the dark, but the Professor mostly lives off of jellybeans and spiders. In fact, the spiders are his main source is protein, so would he actually eat steak? Then again, I guess he does (possibly) eat dolphin meat, so maybe not. And he completely dismissed Sara when she said it was bad for the environment, when I feel like the Professor would take it into consideration.

Also, his voice. Instances I found of his voice going all demonic (just in case there’s any correlation):

YOU LIKE MEAT, RYAN?

*demonic laugh after his ‘Boer-d’ joke*

THE LEARNING HAS BEGUN

You know that algorithm machine is running BETTER THAN EVER THIS SEASON

When he pops up after the first puppet show

WHAT DO YA GOT

What could the deal with the box possibly be? It’s some sort of energy source, obviously… and the Professor is very adamant on not talking about it, and, well… we know that when the Professor chooses not to elaborate on something (i.e. the genie), it can’t be good. He’s so angry when they bring it up, has he ever shouted like that before?

Also, he acts pretty much feral with Ryan. Like, growling at him and trying to bite him. I mean, I get it, I probably would too, but we’ve never seen the Professor be violent, ever. He’s also never had a problem with anyone touching him before, in fact, he encourages people to take a jellybean out of his satchel.

Why does he say it like that? “On account of having to TAKE HUMAN LIFE.” Like, it’s not demonic, but Professor… just chill, please. What the fuck is wrong with you, my man?

His demonic laugh after making that pun. Like, come on, man, what the fuck is wrong with you, sir? And when the question comes up, and he goes “THE LEARNING HAS BEGUN! Ready your quills, my beauties!” WHAT THE FUCK MY (NOT SO) GOOD SIR

What was with the weird, creepy giggle? Professor doesn’t laugh like that… “Well, I’m alive! It feels good!” Sounds exactly like the kinda thing that someone who isn’t alive would say.

“Oh, we got my b-boys out there. I can’t remember what this bit is.” THATS BECAUSE THERE ISNT ONE. THERE IS NO B BOY BIT. HE JUST SAYS B BOYS.

Ryan: “I’m in hell.” A buzzer. The blank screen. Something sus is happening.

The most obvious piece of evidence: the glitch when he says “I guess we don’t have to,” when Ryan doesn’t wanna talk. Possibly something to do with the energy box?

The algorithm machine is “RUNNING BETTER THAN EVER THIS SEASON.” And it’s the only episode where Ryan has won, which means it has most likely been tinkered with to favour Ryan rather than the guest.

What is with the obsession with flesh? “Supple… life-defining… flesh.” Professor… you don’t eat flesh. You eat jellybeans, spiders, and possibly dolphin meat, but he’s getting a little weird here with his obsession for meat/flesh. And again, when talking about meat alternatives. The way he says “fleshier” is just… just weird.

Avoiding the question of “are you a ghost?” with “What kind of question is that? Come on.”

Okay, again, I’m not too sure about this one, but right before the first puppet show, when the curtain’s down, you can hear “where’s his fucking people?” Not “my” people, but “his” people, meaning that it’s someone else referring to the Professor. This is most likely just Shane honestly, having gotten used to calling them the Professor’s puppets, but I thought it was worth noting down.

After asking about why hippo meat didn’t take off, the noise he makes almost sounds like he’s deflating or powering down, so to speak. And he makes the same sound when he comes back up, so I think it’s definitely something to do with the box. I just don’t know what yet.

When he brings the guy up (Captain Claude), and he says: “But a word of warning. Not everything on this stage is as it seems,” combined with the fact that this is a guy who, a) faked his own death and b) pretended to be someone else. It’s obvious he’s talking about “the Professor”. But then again, it’s the Professor doing the voices, so does that make sense? Probably not, but it’s some form of evidence, so I’m sticking with it.

When going over the kinda summary thing, there’s an image of the Professor about to eat something. They lift up the lid and the flag says “100% Grade A Puppet Meat”, and he looks into the camera. This just adds more depth to his whole weird obsession with flesh.

It’s very strange how there’s just suddenly no trophies (especially when the Devil says in the last episode that the Professor buys those things in bull, suggesting he has a lot of them backstage), but instead a moisturiser. A very random object. The Professor is very adamant on him using it, and linking back to my earlier theory of the algorithm being rigged to let Ryan win, I think there’s a reason for it.

This one isn’t linked to any evidence for possessed!Professor at all, but I just noticed that the logo for ScienceSimp is one of the Bye Bye Brothers.

One of the tabs that Ryan has open is “Puppet Necromancy” and “Time Travel Methods” (as well as something about Nighttime Dan — again, unrelated, but I love that little detail). I think perhaps we could get an episode about the dinosaurs, based on the fact that there’s an article on it. There’s also an article about hologram technology — something to do with the Professor? Maybe he’s not possessed, but just a real weird hologram (like in the Holiday Spectacular)? I am genuinely very interested in this little insight to the going-ons in the WCU (like a Joker being elected Pope).

The genie lamp is surrounded by jellybeans. I don’t know what the implications of that are, but… it’s weird. “This breathtaking lamp will make a stunning addition to any home, no matter how drab. This piece was among many rare antiquities recently auctioned off at a local estate sale seemingly managed by the devil and a three-headed demon.” This means that the Devil, Asmodeus, or the Genie can’t possibly be possessing the Professor. But, why are the selling the lamp? With the genie presumably inside? It’s also worth noting that it says Ryan placed a $15 bid on it, while this “Connie M.” bids $5,500 on it — it seems like this Connie really wants that lamp, and she’s been at it for a while “oh, fucking Connie, again).

You can see that one of the professors (the one that moves) is different from the others, clearly standing out. But his colour seems to match the other toys (which are the original colour of the Professor).

That’s pretty much all I could pick out. I have never analysed anything so deeply before, and I can’t wait to do this every week. But yeah, I think there’s definitely something going on with the Professor, but I don’t know if it’s possession, since the Devil and Asmodeus sold the lamp. The hologram theory kinda makes sense, but I’m gonna wait until we have more info to develop that one any further.
