The Scarlet Witch tells the past X-Men that this is more complicated than they came imagine, before Captain America reveals the reason his team intercepted the X-Men - because they are wanted felons.

Wolverine, Kitty and the young X-Men don’t return to their school however, while Wolverine informs everyone that they are going to teach Mystique a lesson about stealing.

Story Notes: 

The speech Havok is listening to is from Uncanny X-Men (3rd series) #4.
While the past Cyclops may be aware that he has a brother, at the point the original X-Men were pulled to the present from, Havok had not yet debuted and Scott had apparently kept the information from his teammates.

Additionally, at the time the original X-Men were pulled to the present from, the Scarlet Witch had not yet joined the Avengers.

The Scarlet Witch said “No more mutants” during the House of M.

As revealed in the Avengers: Children’s Crusade mini series, Wanda was under the influence of dark magic conjured by Dr Doom when she went insane.

Mystique met the past Cyclops in All-New X-Men #7.
