Even though their relationship was seemingly benign, Gaby has never fully forgiven Charles for what she has feared was her exploitation.

As Charles explores David's psyche, his bristles at the absence of himself in the boy's memories, growing furious with Gaby and insisting...

...on the power differential between she and Erik–the Master of Magnetism far her superior in terms of strength and ability, and despite Erik's promises to never do so, Lee can't help but fear the reforming villain.

The scene is part of his redemption, the parallel to Xavier...

Part of the reason Gaby withheld knowledge of David from Xavier was her fear that he had telepathically controlled or manipulated her, a theme echoed in the issue's interlude to revisit Erik and Lee.
