He doesn't have to be the psychic one to know what she's thinking. He had taught her well, after all, during the time when he had known her quite well. "Ten years ago Peter helped break me out of the Pentagon and neither of us knew about our connection at the time." Not only is he assuming that Raven knows already, or at least that she can figure it out from context, but also implicating Peter is his prison break. "The mutant community isn't that large. We come across each other in many seemingly-improbable ways."

He doesn't know how things would be different if he hadn't been so determined to go after Shaw for what had happened. It's something he never thinks about, because he doesn't regret what he did in the slightest. "I tried it that way. I don't think that life is for me."

Except here. Here he has no choice. He can't leave even if he wants to.
