345 Formal invitations
After returning that night, Mycroft asked Ancia to work overtime to check on Charles and Eric, both of whom should theoretically be the key monitoring personnel of the US government, and they always had something to do when they suddenly came to London.
Anthea quickly gave Mycroft the news, it is said that the results of the contact between the two on the American side were not very pleasant, but given that there is still a delicate balance between mutants and them, they have not yet torn their faces, and no agents have followed, after all, Charles? Xavier's ability is telepathic, and it is impossible for any agent to track him.
Unless he wants to.
However, McCroft thought that since he and the two of them had met Raven on topic, they would definitely come to visit.
Sure enough, on the afternoon of the second day after Sherlock's wedding, there was a knock on the door of Lestrade's house. McCroft and Reistrade were on vacation today, and they were still wondering who it was when they heard the doorbell ring, or if Jarvis had alerted them.
"According to the information, is it Charles? Xavier and Eric? Mr. Lansell. ”
After McCroft and Lestrade looked at each other, they both understood what the other meant, and it seemed that they were indeed coming for Raven.
Lestrade got up and went to open the door,
Raven seemed a little excited, and didn't know what she was happy about.
When he opened the door, the younger-looking man in the suit smiled at him and said, "Hello, Mr. Lestrade. ”
Lestrade staggered, "Welcome, please come in, Mr. Xavier and Mr. Lanshel." ”
Charles laughed, although they knew about the situation in Raven's house, but it seemed that their situation was almost investigated, is this a very fair conversation.
After they were all seated, Charles explained his intentions.
Charles is actually selfish, he feels warmth and hope from Raven. It's a feeling that Eric probably won't understand, because only he has accidentally dreamed of that girl, and there are some things that only he can feel.
"You're mutants? I've always believed that mutants don't want to reveal their identities easily. ”
Charles looked at Mycroft and opened his mouth, it seemed that the man knew a lot about them. Did he look up about Mycroft? The matter of Sherlock Holmes, but the information he found showed that this was a minor official of the government, and it didn't seem to be much suspicious.
"Because of our sensitive identity, the reason why we invited Raven to study at X Academy is to a large extent that we hope that Raven can return to our big family and truly learn to master her own abilities by the way."
Mycroft nodded, it was indeed mentioned among the mutants they had come into contact with, and the man who had established the X Academy had indeed helped them learn how to use and control their abilities.
"Charles, what is a mutant? If I were a mutant, would Loki be too? ”
In fact, Raven has always thought that she and Loki are the same kind of people, and after knowing that there are mutants in the world, Raven even suspects that Loki may be a combination of wizards and mutants.
Loki? Charles remembered the little dark-haired boy he had just introduced, and he shook his head, he had looked for mutants in London before coming to London, and there was no Loki in it? Odinson, but there is a man named Hank? McCoy's boys are mutants.
Charles talked about the history of mutants, I don't know if the appearance of mutants is inevitable or accidental, in short, they exist in this world, they have not died out, and more mutants have appeared. It's just that human beings are xenophobic, but also their timidity and cowardice, and their attitude towards mutants is not only fearful, but also repulsive.
Many families will abandon their children, and there are many small mutants who will hide their abilities and try to pretend to be ordinary people, and they will even fear themselves.
Saying this, Charles looked at Raven, who was the special person.
Raven regained her original color in Charles's gaze, her long red hair and blue scaly skin, her eyes were yellow, and she didn't have much emotion in them when she looked at Charles.
Charles looked at the expressions of the other Lestrades, who seemed to be surprised by Raven's appearance.
That's why she thinks that Raven is different, because the family is also because of herself. Raven didn't know some of the mutant kids Charles came into contact with, and she was afraid of her abilities and didn't dare to face her true self. So he wants Raven's power to infect the academy, so that those mutant children who are not confident can officially and truly be themselves.
"It's beautiful, Raven."
Raven smiled, "Daddy said the same thing to me, he said I was the only princess. ”
Eric laughed, he somewhat understood why Charles was so obsessed with Raven? Lestrade, that smile was infected even for him.
Little Sapphire Princess,
This is what the Lestrades call Raven.
Actually, Raven was also abandoned, wasn't she? Charles can understand the reason, a little mutant like this should have shown his abilities since he was a child, so he ...... In other words, whoever sees their child is so different, will be ruthless.
As he said before, people are afraid of being different.
"Mr. Lestrade, although Raven has a good grasp of her abilities, we still hope that Raven can officially enroll, I don't know what you mean?"
Raven beckoned to Raven, he hadn't seen Raven like this for a long time, Raven rubbed Raven in Raven's arms and let out a giggle, Raistrade nodded her head, "I respect Raven's opinion on this matter." ”
Everyone looked at Raven at this time, Raven blinked, she actually wanted to get to know someone like herself, and besides, Charles said that she was a little tempted, but she was just ...... One of the main problems, which is that the school seems to be in the United States, means that she is leaving home.
"I ......"
"I think Raven needs to think about the time, if Mr. Xavier you will be in London for a while, please leave us the number, and we'll get back when Raven thinks about it."
It was Hannibal who spoke, and the other little Lestrades would respect Raven's choice, so he didn't interject just now, but when he finally talked about going to school, Hannibal couldn't sit still. Raven is a very complex existence for Hannibal, not liking, of course, but a feeling that cannot be explained in simple words.
Will took Hannibal's hand, and Hannibal saw Raven as his most important sister, the most important family member, and the one he wanted to protect forever. If Raven leaves, this person will be very uncomfortable. In fact, the reason why Hannibal was able to become so gentle also has a lot to do with Raven, and Raven's existence makes up for the vacancy in Hannibal's heart.
Hannibal agrees with everyone, and Charles leaves their contact information, saying that the doors of Xavier's Gifted Junior School will always be open for Raven, and that he is looking forward to Raven's arrival.
"Do you really think they're going to call? I watch Raven? Lestrade doesn't look like a person who leaves home. ”
After leaving Lestrade's house, Eric asks Charles, who shakes his head and thinks Raven will agree, as she seems to be interested in mutants and her school.
"Do you want to make a bet, Eric."
"What bet?"
Charles thought for a moment and said, "If I win, you have to promise me three things." ”
Three things? Anything? Eric looked at Charles's smile and felt inexplicably flustered, knowing that Charles has had a big opinion about bed/things lately, he is very worried...... Charles would ask him to do something he wasn't willing to do.
But...... If Charles loses, he can also ask him to do three things.
"How's it going, my friend."
"Okay, I don't think Raven will agree."
Charles smiled very happily, no, he believed in his vision.
Reiss' family is also discussing this matter, they all respect Raven's idea, whether Raven wants to go to Xavier Talent School or not, they don't have any point, after all, everyone needs to make their own choice, right?
Just like Harry chose Hogwarts and Harold chose MIT, they need to make the right choice when they are young.
"My little princess, listen to me."
After thinking about it seriously, Lestrade gave his own advice, "Although I still don't know much about mutants, if you are the one chosen by God, maybe you should know more about yourself, learn more knowledge, and learn how to use your abilities." ”
"But...... I'll leave you, daddy?! ”
Lestrade laughed, "Our little princess usually comes back, doesn't she, and Daddy can fly over to see you." ”
If that's the case, there's no need to worry about it, is it?
"Raven, you need to make your own choice, and besides, we're just leaving temporarily, aren't we?"
Hannibal squeezed Will's hand, he felt Raven's shake after Harold said what he had just said, Hannibal also knew that going to Xavier's Gifted Junior School was the best option, but ...... He was reluctant, even more reluctant than Reestrade.
"I, I ......"
When Raven hesitates, everyone sees the end, Raven is shaken, and she wants to pursue her studies and future.
Three days later, Charles received a phone call from Raven, who agreed to enroll, and Xavier Talent Junior School was about to welcome new blood.
