Marvel's Speedster

056 Christmas Eve

Since Ross entered Manhattan, he shut off the communication. Dr. Connors, who stayed in the cutting-edge technology laboratory, knew nothing about what happened afterwards, only that Ross and his girlfriend went to celebrate Christmas Eve, and nothing happened. , So he also put down the irrelevant trifles and invited Professor X and others who were under house arrest in the Blade building to have dinner together.

Although the professor has spent many similar nights, only this Christmas Eve left him the deepest impression. It was the first time in his life that he lived under the fence. Understood.

Although he felt uncomfortable, he still had to do what he had to do. After all, he was not the Brotherhood leader who could kill decisively. Seeing that the table was not pleasing to the eye, he immediately went up and threw it away. In essence, the professor is still a member of the upper class. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he is always committed to creating a communication environment, so that everyone can sit down peacefully and resolve differences in a civilized way.

Fortunately, the laboratory has also shown great sincerity on this point.

Since being placed in the Blade Building, although everyone cannot go out temporarily, the supply of supplies has never been interrupted, and it is even much richer than the "693" life in school before, which is really a big deal for young people surprise.

It’s not that the college has treated them badly before. Professor Bo has a family, and he has gained a lot from his adventure career when he was young. It is not a problem to support the livelihood of dozens or hundreds of Mutant children. However, it cannot cultivate the habit of luxury among young people. , Secondly, I am also worried that too much contact with the outside world will produce some unpredictable consequences, so all kinds of life details must be carefully calculated.

The laboratory has no such worries. The quota of more than 6,000 employees is now one-third full. It is not a trivial matter to arrange a few Mutants. So after the first night of fright, the next Mutant students felt surprised. Unexpectedly satisfied, even if they are driven away now, they may not agree.

There are many exchanges, and the two sides also understand each other. According to the professor's observation, Connors is a standard scientific research worker, occasionally a little crazy, but he is not bad, and Maya is not a villain like Stryker who would abuse Mutant. The most unexpected thing is the future Doctor Octopus Otto. Repeatedly confirmed by Professor X, this obese and overweight myopic scientist turned out to be a Mutant with a weak telepathic ability. This ability is basically useless against humans, but it can better control smart devices in certain scientific research fields.

With a superior environment and people of the same blood, as time passed, the people from the former academy gradually settled down.

The only people who often have friction here are Ross and Ororo. Storm is usually very friendly to other people, but she will quarrel when she meets Ross. Although Ross is not forgiving, but in the eyes of the professor, it is only the whims of young people. Who hasn't had a time of reckless behavior? Even he himself had a period of debauchery. He has done a lot of things to himself now In retrospect, he also felt embarrassing and scandalous, so he didn't care about a little contradiction at all.

As for the mentor's idea, assuming that Cyclops Scott is still there, the actual leader of the X-Men will certainly not agree, but he has already died under the gun of Stryker, and even his girlfriend Phoenix has a relationship with Ross that outsiders can't understand Strange relationship, and now there is no need to take Deadman's opinion into account.

So on this night, after calming down the lively children celebrating the festival, and leaving a few senior students such as Colossus and Pyroman to take care of their juniors, the professor took Storm and Wolverine to Connors invitation.

In the restaurant, the red tablecloth completely covered the long tabletop, and the flickering candlelight lit up the table full of delicious food and wine. On the dinner plate decorated with small pieces of green cypress branches, a huge turkey is roasted to a golden color, apples marinated in red wine exude an intoxicating aroma, chocolate cakes and various desserts are also available, several people They sat down at the table one after another, toasted and wished each other well, and then chatted and dined.

Both the professor and the doctor have rich life experiences. The two women, Maya and Ororo, also have a more speculative conversation. The Wolverine Logan just grew a severed arm not long ago. He was reluctant to come here, but because the food is amazing It suits his appetite, so he didn't do anything embarrassing.

This happy scene lasted for a long time, until there was a strange noise in the unoccupied room outside the restaurant, and everyone suddenly woke up from the festive atmosphere.

"My own?" Connors shook his head when he saw everyone's eyes asking, that was Ross's room, but Ross had already gone back today.

Many miniature interference devices were implanted in the professor's head, and he couldn't use mind detection to conduct reconnaissance. The Wolverine just sniffed the smell, and continued to sit at the table and munch without any intention of making a move. The storm girl was the first to greet her.

Ororo is a little uncomfortable working for her former opponent, but she has a reason to do so. Now there is an undercurrent outside, and many people are searching for the Mutant. If they lose this shelter again, then they will really There is nowhere to go, so no matter what, keep those malicious guys.

Definitely, it's not for Ross.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth resentfully, and then quickly produced two violent cyclones with her palms, and at the same time flew up a kick, rushing straight into the open door.

"who......"

With a flash of blue light, the two storms were forcibly broken up by a hand before they took shape, and then a black shadow strangled her neck, lifting the storm girl high.

"I wish you a silver-white Christmas Eve, Ororo." Through the mask, the black shadow surrounded by thin lightning made a very special trembling sound. Hearing this familiar voice, the originally struggling Ororo's body suddenly softened.

The professor looked back at the dining table. Wolverine had just eaten the last piece of turkey on the plate, and was holding up a glass of wine to greet him from afar.

"What happened, how did it happen?"

At the moment Connors had already rushed into the room, seeing Ross's distressed appearance, he kept asking questions.

"Give me glucose supplements first, otherwise I will fall asleep."

Ross replied weakly.

There was too much wind outside, and he didn't want to appear in front of his girlfriend in this appearance, and he didn't want to leave traces in the clinic or hospital, so he simply drove back to the experiment on a bus from Manhattan before the police and agents were ready. I only found some candies along the way to deal with it temporarily. It took a lot of effort to restrain Ororo just now, and now the body has reached the point where it needs to replenish energy immediately.....

Needless to say, Connors rushed over dozens of bags of glucose injections, Maya didn't ask anything, and bent down to clean his wound very obediently, Ororo watched for a while, and finally helped the friendship Nice female doctor.

Cut open the torn black combat suit forcefully. Connors, wearing glasses, picked up a scalpel to cut open the wound muscle, and used tweezers to carefully pinch out the barbed wires that were deeply embedded in his body. Ross did not Need anesthetic, this kind of trauma is extremely painful at first glance, but he just glanced at it at first, and then said nothing, only a thin layer of sweat floated on his head.

Crisp jingling sounds sounded one after another, and more than ten pieces of metal wires were taken out by Connors. Maya hurriedly cleaned the wound and applied medicine. A new generation of drug based on a severed hand and with stronger effects is being developed, but the current one can also produce very good results, even the doctor's severed arm can be cured, not to mention that Ross originally received a lot of genetic adjustments from Mutant , He only needs to replenish enough energy, and then sleep well, and everything will be back to normal when he wakes up tomorrow morning.

Now except for Wolverine, who is sitting alone in the dining room and eating and drinking, everyone else has come to Ross's room.

"Did you meet Eric?" The professor guessed the truth.

"Your old friend asked me to say hello to you." Recovering a little bit of energy, Ross replied angrily.

The professor was silent for a while, and he wanted to talk about his opinion, but because of his embarrassing status at the moment, it was inconvenient to express it, so he could only mediate from the side in an extremely euphemistic tone.

"I've seen your idea these days. Your symbiote combat suit grafts Marco and Victor's cells on Hela cells, and then adds your own genetic characteristics, which can allow you to indirectly obtain part of the power that belongs to the Mutant. There will be no physical rejection, but in the process of using it, your own body will inevitably be transformed, so Ross, now you can be said to be half a Mutant. You should be slightly different from our pain. I know that pain is terrible but it can make people strong. Eric chose to become Magneto to fight for his compatriots because of the pain he has experienced. For compatriots, he is not a bad person. If he can understand your thoughts, you should not No more conflicts."

Ross scoffed at this pacifist argument, Magneto will not let him go, will he let Magneto go, the gene that controls magnetism has been waiting for a long time, but Magneto will allow someone to approach his domain?

Only war can solve the problem. Now it is just an intermission. Everyone is hurrying up, replenishing strength silently, and then looking for opportunities, waiting for the next collision

"Let's face it, Professor," he snapped back. "Life is a zero-sum game. There is only one answer to winning or losing. Whether we want to or not, we can only go forward on this road. If we want to succeed, many people must fall down. But compared with us, You have already landed, so don't get involved with us anymore."

His tone was resolute and decisive, the professor wanted to say something more, but Storm gently tugged at his sleeve, then Charles could only shake his head, and went back with the students.
