[ That's at least one thing they will not have in common. Will she be relieved, or disappointed? Who's to say, but Erik answers honestly regardless. ]

No, he has a younger sister. I don't know her name, he's only mentioned her in passing.

[ Around him, anyway. It's not like he and Peter were that close. ]

[hm...]

How much do you know about the 'multiverse'?

I'm not sure I know what you mean. We are aware of parallel realities, or at least different possibilities of the future. Even the reality I currently exist in is a changed one. But a 'multiverse' sounds more complex than just that.

It is.

The multiverse contains all the possible universes within any given timeline. There are bits and pieces that will be the same or similar in all of them. It could very well be that there is an Erik in my world who is just like you, but perhaps he is not a mutant. The closer those universes, the closer the similarities.

Perhaps in your world, there is a version of a Pietro Maximoff who is a mutant and is American. It is likely that the version of me might not exist there. It can be very complex.

I don't know what to call the coincidence that you happen to know someone like him, though.

I'm sure I've heard of something similar, before. It's not unreasonable to believe, especially now as we meet people here from so many different versions of Earth.

I don't believe in coincidences, however. Maybe our worlds are linked more closely than we thought.

[ He's not sure that he wants to imagine himself not being a mutant, though. It's such an intrinsic part of him, he feels like he wouldn't be himself without it. ]

What, like maybe in your world he and I are siblings?

( she poses that question because, well, it’s kind of funny to think about—even if the subject is a little sore for her. erik saying he doesn’t believe in coincidences brings something up, though, with how many that kind of certainty is something she could hold on to. )

Maybe your ideas about me being a mutant could be true.

( and this is how you can tell that she has pushed past the otherwise difficult subject of conversation to something a little lighter, if she’s allowing to joke with him to this extent. )

Just that maybe there are parallels between our realities. That your brother exists in my world as well, only with some minor differences. And who knows, maybe his younger sister could be you.

[ Younger, sure, but still. Similar doesn't have to mean the same. ]

You might be. If he has those genes, then it stands to reason that any other sibling might, as well.
