"You're not kidding, are you?"

In general, the Avengers and the X-Men do not interfere with each other. Although there are times when the two teams will work together to fight the enemy, and some of them have positions on both sides, they have always done their own thing when nothing has happened that threatens the survival of humanity. As a result, when West was told that he needed to act with the Avengers on this mission, he couldn't hide his surprise.

"I'm serious and responsible to tell you, old man Wei, this is not a joke."

Ever since learning the secret of his age, he has been called West. Tony shrugged, seemingly helpless to act with this enemy:

"One of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s science centers has been attacked by unknown individuals, and we suspect mutants are involved, and experts who know them are needed to investigate and track down the suspects. It just so happened that you were there, so I just called Professor Charles......"

West's eyes widened in horror.

“…… He agrees that you will act with us on behalf of the X-Men...... Please, Wei, don't be so unproductive - Professor X is a flood or a beast that can make you cower on the couch in fear?! ”

Nearly snapping the tablet in his hand, Tony had never had the urge to get Jarvis to throw a man out of his building.

“…… Did he really just say that he agreed to me acting with the Avengers? Nothing else? Not mad at me for running away from home?! ”

Desperately tugging at the right ear stud earring, West fidgeted on the couch, not even caring about the sarcasm in Tony's words.

"Nope."

"Really?"

"Not really."

"Are you sure you haven't?"

"I'm sure not!!"

"But ......"

"No, but, I said no, no, no!!"

Resisting the urge to summon the Mark series, Iron Man feels like he's going crazy.

"I can testify to this."

Seeing that West was going to refute. Raising her hand, Black Widow rescued Tony's crumbling nerves in time:

"I was there the whole time when I spoke to the professor, and he didn't say anything but business...... So can we get down to business? ”

"I'm sorry." Finally realizing that now was indeed not the best time to calculate, West flattened his mouth and waved his hand at a room of superheroes staring at them a little embarrassed.

"You'll always look like an idiot in front of Professor X, Will."

Finally, I sighed. Clint stopped in time before Steve could not help but reprimand, and motioned for West to look at the materials displayed on the big screen:

"I know, Captain, get down to business...... So, Mr. Xavier Jr., this is a photograph of the aftermath of the attack on the real yàn room, and I think you might find something special about it from your experience? ”

Yi Yan turned his head and stared at the distorted building on the screen. After a few seconds, the corners of his eyes twitched suspiciously, and he silently turned his head again.

- I might as well continue to talk to Tony about Charles's phone call.

"How?" Captain America, who had been paying attention to the boy's reaction, asked.

"It's a bit of a discovery."

Dryly replied. West stretched out his hand to compare the bending of the building's steel bars in the photo, and really didn't know what kind of expression to make:

"I don't want to admit it, but I have to say it...... It looks a lot like my other dad's handiwork. ”

“……”

The news is simply terrible.

They looked at each other for a while, and they all saw the same helplessness and solemnity in each other's eyes. After being silent for a long time, Tony Stark took the lead in throwing Wen Jiàn on the workbench, stretched out his hand and pressed his eyebrows with a headache:

"Very good find...... So what are the chances that we're tying you up now to threaten Magneto to turn himself in? ”

- Then you might as well go and arrest Charles.

West blinked innocently.

"Tony."

The tone was already akin to a warning, and Steve Rogers frowned, "Now is not the time for jokes. What's more, we can't conclude that Magneto was responsible for this attack based on the traces of destruction alone. ”

Looking around, the brain, baptized by countless experiences in dealing with emergencies, quickly developed a plan of action. Captain America counted the Avengers present and gave the order without hesitation-

"Clint and I went to Curson to get things straight. West, you and Natasha and Bucky go in search of where the attackers last disappeared. Tony and Bruce stayed in the building to monitor the whole situation just in case, remember to keep in touch at any time, and be sure to inform the ...... in time."

After a pause, he looked at his companion's trusting eyes and added:

"I've always felt that it's not as simple as we seem."

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

So, that's why they're standing in front of this abandoned building now, facing the dark ruins that are so horrible that they can scare ghosts to death.

"Ok, boys, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s tracking signal is interrupted here."

Putting away the tracker in her hand, Agent Natasha Romanoff carefully looked at the concrete and steel building in front of her, and pressed the headset:

"Can you hear me, Stark? Sue us your scan results. ”

"There's no one in there, not even a cat."

Throwing the infrared images sent by Black Widow to Jarvis to make a three-dimensional map, Tony sat in front of the workbench with his arms crossed, frowning at the three people looking around on the screen:

"I really don't understand why Cap won't let me out? Does he know that this is an insult to my personality? Even Barton's little bird can go out in the field, but the famous genius Tony Stark can only sit here like a fool and serve as a navigator for you?! ”

“…… Please, don't forget I'm here too, man. Dr. Banner, who was innocently implicated in the "fools" ranks, turned his head faintly.

"Ignore him, Bruce, that guy's brain is as pathetic as his force value - seriously, even Wei is better than him in that regard." [West: ...... Hey!! 】

Ignoring the annoyed protest of the boy next to him, Agent Romanoff spoke sarcastically, and looked down at the route sent by Jarvis:

"Use your intelligence, Tony girl. If we meet Magneto, you must be the first to be crushed into pieces of iron. Trust me, there's no better coffin for you than that tattered armor. ”

"It's an excuse!"

Iron Man's voice was so loud that he almost turned off the communicator, and at the same time, the universal butler Jarvis silently helped everyone lower the volume of the headset: "Otherwise, why can that No. 2 old popsicle go?!" Don't forget that his arms are also made of machinery!! ”

"Or else?" Natasha's tone was very surprised: "Are you going to let Barnes go to S.H.I.E.L.D. instead of the captain?" ”

“……”

Looked at the confused front around him. Hydra Killer, the corners of West's mouth twitched, and he couldn't imagine how terrifying that Shura Field would be.

"So, do we want to go in now?"

Realizing that their conversation had gone in an irretrievable direction, the older teenager who had never known that the Avengers could be so noisy in the mission spoke weakly.

"Of course, even if the infrared thermal imaging doesn't reveal any living creatures, it is the agent's duty to conduct another search of this place."

Turning on the portable light, Natasha looked at the dark corridor in front of her in front of her in full view under the strong light, and frowned slightly: "Let's go separately next." It's too dark in here, do you have any lighting with you? ”

Bucky nodded, and quickly pulled out the same gear as Black Widow.

“Well…… What about you, Wei? I know the X-Men are outfitted differently than we did when we went out on missions, what do you do? ”

"I have my own method, but I need your help." Since it was a temporary team, of course, he didn't expect him to learn to use those Avengers gadgets all at once. West smiled slyly:

"Take a step back, Natasha. And then sue me sù what do you feel? ”

"Light." Do as you say. Black Widow receded from the shadows into the sunlight with a puzzled expression.

"This is it." A finger pointed at his temple, and he blinked, "Now, I hope you won't mind." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Natasha felt as if something was squeezing in her head. It didn't feel uncomfortable, but it was like a faint spring that washed away the shallow consciousness. For a moment, she even felt like she had seen herself standing in front of him from West's perspective.

And that's far from the most amazing.

At the moment when the external force disappeared in her mind, Natasha opened her eyes and unexpectedly found that the sunlight shining on her body had changed. As if they had been brought to life, fragments of light peeled off from them, and then they were pulled by something, scattered evenly around West, enveloping him in a soft circle of light.

“…… Sorry, I thought you were all used to these superpowers in the Avengers. ”

He picked up a piece of light and played with it, he was a little amused, and seemed to be very helpless about the reaction of Black Widow and the Winter Soldier at this time: "Can I take a picture of your emoji collection?" ”

“…… Hell, I always thought your superpowers were just mind control. ”

Squeezing out the phrase seemed a little harder than usual, and Agent Romanov stood in place, looking at West's gaze with a faint change: "How did you do that?" ”

"It's easy, I synced your brainwaves, Natasha." The slender knuckles tapped lightly on his forehead, and West shrugged:

“…… Then I shared your perception of the natural substance of 'sunlight', using my power to use it for my own use, and turning it into a material structure that can be controlled by me. ”

"It sounds like a 'consciousness assimilation,' but the difference is that you can tap into energy that others perceive but can't manipulate."

"So to speak."

Nodding, he was glad that Black Widow understood so lightly. Charles said that his abilities are highly malleable, almost having the characteristics of both psychic and controlling, but this also means that the process of exploring abilities is quite complicated. After all, you won't want to see your abilities used more than you expected every time. At first, all of them, including Eric, thought that Natasha's ability was only to mind control or manipulate air currents.

"Looks like I'm going to have to re-evaluate you when I get back."

The gaffe was only for a moment, and soon she was restored to her professional agent's prime. Black Widow adjusted her Bluetooth headset, nodded to West and Bucky, and entered the swarthy abandoned building first.

I also cheered up and manipulated the aperture to adjust to the right angle. West touched the black stud on his right ear and stepped into the ruins.

However, as he ascended the first flight of steps, he noticed that the Winter Soldier in front of him had suddenly stopped for some reason.

"Your ability comes from reading brain waves, so you're able to peer into other people's minds as well?"

Turning his head, his gaze unconsciously taking some assessment, Bucky frowned slightly.

"If I want to, yes." Know what he's worried about. Weiss tapped the corners of his forehead and smiled and spoke:

"But psychic people always have their own principles. Charles taught me very early on that I can't read your thoughts without permission...... So you can rest assured about that, James. ”

Patted the mechanical arm. He winked at his companion one last and walked into the darkness with a tiny glow.
