Why? Up to you anon.
Maybe his big black boyfriend is a mutant?
Maybe Canton is a mutant?
Maybe Canton is just one of the spooks sent by the FBI to check up on what the CIA is up to.
Or maybe Canton just runs into them in a bar and sets off Erik's protective instincts by checking out Charles' ass a little TOO closely for his comfort :D
I don't particularly care about the specifics, just let them meet please!

SECONDED. I only watched Mark Sheppard's Doctor Who episodes so this one appeals to me far more than the other Who prompts.

Crossover with Doctor Who
Charles/Erik + Canton Delaware
*
When they return to Virginia with Angel -- their first successful recruit -- they find the FBI waiting for them.
More specifically, they find their CIA patron and Hank squaring off awkwardly with three G-men in the facility's foyer. Hank, lurking in his boss's substantial shadow, sees them first. His eyes go wide and desperate behind his glasses, and Erik doesn't need telepathy to know that the boy is projecting PLEASE HELP as loudly as he can.
Charles takes in the scene with his characteristic calm, though Erik can make out the hint of a frown at the edges of his mouth. "Ah, Hank," Charles says. "This is Miss Salvadore. Perhaps you could show her to her new lodgings?" His voice is light, the words tossed out absently, as though he's not paying much attention to what he's saying. That's his only tell, but it's one Erik has quickly come to recognize. Charles is definitely playing inside someone's head right now ( ... )

"Hear anything interesting from the feds?" Erik asks, keeping his voice similarly low. He leans in toward Charles, their shoulders touching, trying to create an illusion of privacy in this lab full of people.
Charles smiles faintly. "AD Sullivan knows this project involves 'powered' individuals, but not the precise nature of the program, or what we are. He also liaises with another agency that deals with, ah, 'superhuman' threats -- though I believe they keep him pretty well in the dark. He thinks the government is working to build these theoretical supermen for military purposes, and moreover that it's a waste of good American dollars."
That is interesting. "So the US government is creating its own mutants ( ... )

(Also: was that a sneaky sneaky reference to project rebirth I spotted? :D)

It's a convenient, non-threatening place to keep them busy for a while, and Erik suspects that Charles has now given both federal agents an inexplicable craving for ice cream. Hank slips away with palpable relief. Erik moves to follow him, but Charles shoots him a look that says clearly and in no uncertain terms that if I have to see this facade through, then so do youWhat the hell, Erik hasn't had lunch yet either ( ... )

Erik looks at him pointedly.
"Hank's introduced Angel to Raven and Moira," Charles explains, eyes distant. "Good. They know to occupy themselves out of sight for the next few hours."
The lodgings are on the other side of the facility, a good 400 meters away at least. If Charles can send and receive thoughts to them... "What is your range?" Erik asks. He's been wondering for a while.
Charles shrugs. "I haven't pushed myself terribly far, to be honest. It's always been sufficient to my needs. At least half a mile, I think, though reaching out so far takes a great deal of effort and concentration. That's why Cerebro is such a godsend -- with that, the telepathy's range could be very nearly limitless."
Anywhere I go, no matter how far I run, he could still find me, Erik realizes, doing his best not to broadcast it ( ... )
