A lot of mixed feelings. He might throw himself into his work and make the future he saw a reality because it's just easier to deal with that than his own feelings. He is relieved to finally be back home and he does feel a lot more comfortable with himself and his decisions. It'll probably take him a while to sort of subdue the kyr/deco mentality where it's every person for themselves and it does help that Hank having gone through the same thing will know what it feels like.
And of course, Erik. Charles knows that Erik wants to stay and knows that they'd both try their best but he also knows that Erik's calling is elsewhere and might not stay. He's not particularly bitter or sad because he knows at least Erik will try to come back.
Erik is frankly glad to be out of amnesia worlds. He is also glad their world is unexploded. Things have generally gone well for him this time around but he was fully ready to get back to 'reality'. At the moment, he's focusing on the now, helping clear out the mansion and resettling into the mansion. He hasn't considered what he will do further ahead. He doesn't think he'd be a good teacher (he's wrong) and mostly he feels pretty out of the loop with the world. So he'll spend time regrouping.
I imagine he'll make trips out of the mansion to do his own business, but it'll be far less revolutionary than the stuff he got up to before. He may still feel the need to do it sometimes, but a lot of that has been burned out of him now. And in all honesty, he likes the stability. Even though he thinks it's selfish of him, he likes having a home, and Charles, and Hank. He's going to miss his team for a long while, but he's good at compartmentalising. There's a lot to do.
