Everyone has noticed all the unnecessary metal zippers and thingamabobs on the XMFC version of the uniforms, right?
Personal head!canon says that this was done on purpose, to give Erik a way to help everyone if they get in danger by yanking them away or lifting them, etc. Basically a big honking sign of trust and teamwork.
Post-divorce, the X-Men now have new uniforms with absolutely no metal anywhere.
Erik doesn't even ask Hank to do it, so it’s surprising to him when he’s evaluating his team how much of their outfits are just unnecessary and flashy. It’s only once they’re all in the plane that it strikes him that all the things that he had dismissed as random zippers and unneeded buttons are all made of pure metal and they sing in his mind. Erik looks sharply at Hank, but he doesn't even know if Hank is aware of that. The man is focused on the plane, as he well should be. Charles gives him a slightly confused glance at his sharp movement, but he says nothing.
He has always felt that the children trusted him but to see it laid out so blatantly was… new. Erik isn't sure how he feels about this.
He leaves Charles on a beach in Cuba and Mystique tears off her outfit and disappears down the hall once they arrive in a house that neither of them know. The metal hits the ground, the feel of it resonating through his bones.
He had seen Hank’s face as he left and he knows that the next outfits will not include any unnecessary metal. The thought of it hurts him and he now knows what he felt about it being included in the first place.
(He is both right and wrong. The next outfits don’t include any metal at all.)
Round 3, Gen, Team, Charles, Erik - What you wear says a lot
