From my immediate memory (which is still oddly clear given it's been yoinks since I read it) no mention of Havok at all (could well have been a first 3 films movie-verse fic) - but yes, presuming everything else stacks up, he'd have been a telepath.

In the fic, they sort of "bury" Scott in the basement because that's where it's mentally "quietest", and that Xavier can't find a way to help Scott turn off other people's thoughts really bugs Xavier. Scott is still very much Scott so he wants to be better and to be "the perfect son" but he can't and Xavier can't stop a small amount of frustration because he's only human and ...

Jean was interesting because she's still Jean but her "and I killed everyone" moment still happened to she reaches out to Scott despite everything and he tries to be there for her, despite everything, because he's Scott Summers and ... it was very good.
