Erik in his 'destroy Shaw' mission picked up two little things on the side: young Alex and young Hank. (You can have their mutations show up earlier, because I'm thinking no older than 5/6).
He can't give up his revenge quest. But he can't leave the young things alone. So he does the only thing possible: teaches them to be badass Nazi killing machines. Alex gains better control over his powers because someone actually tried to teach him, and Hank has a hard time being ashamed of his feet, because Erik won't let that happen to his son. Admittedly, the children are slightly underfed and unaware of how to function in normal society, but they can cook, threaten, shoot, stab, lie, and bluff their way through anything.
But then Erik meets Charles, who's starting up his own mutant teaching thing, and offers to help give Erik and his kids a safe place. And Erik accepts, because hey, Charles is hot, and a home is probably good for his boys, who could do with some more training. Except the two families don't really blend that well (Charles already has Darwin, Raven, Sean, and Angel). In fact, the children stick to their respective adult like glue, at least until Shaw attacks and they're forced to work together. (Erik and Charles have the together thing down, to the dismay of everyone. *wiggles eyebrows*)
So, basically, the movie, if Hank and Alex had been raised Nazi killers by a young adopted father, and the changes that would result from this. (Alex has fired at Shaw before, knows it's a BAD idea. Hank's confident enough without the serum. The family also bonds in a different way.)
Bonus points for Hank convincing Raven she's awesome, because he doesn't see anything wrong with how she looks. Especially since she's the first girl he's seen for more than a day in person. Further bonus points for Alex trying to seduce Darwin using moves he's seen on bad TV that he caught at hotels on the run, not realizing how horridly awkward it is for everyone.
I don't care what aspect is focused on, whether it's Erik raising kids, or Hank and Alex's experiences getting raised, or the two sides trying to band together.
