Chapter 17: Lake Acrylic
Mike knows the purpose of Professor X and Magneto. They are all so that the mutant race can live freely in this world. It's just that their methods are different.
Professor X chose to befriend the government, and Magneto chose to lead people to make trouble.
In previous years, when superheroes were few or even none. The Brotherhood of Magneto can only rely on the X-Men.
As a result, under the deliberate control of the professor and Magneto, this situation was formed.
Looking at the two Mike and Tony in front of him, who were not part of the X-Men, Magneto was a little dissatisfied with why the X-Men took them.
In Magneto's opinion, this is a race war, and the mutant thing is solved by the mutants.
"I'll go with you to rescue Charles, as for these two humans. Let you die. ”
Magneto uses his mutant ability to take control of Tony ▪ Stark's steel armor.
Twenty seconds later
"I'm sorry, my armor has been demagnetized, and your mutant abilities are useless."
Tony's voice broke the silence.
"Please, I know that I'm going to deal with Magneto and Professor X, how can I not be protected."
“……”
"We're here to help mutants, and of course, in exchange, I need you to contribute to this world."
Mike stood up and looked directly at Magneto.
"Boy, who gave you the confidence to talk to me like that."
"If you really want to live like normal people, the best way to do that is to work with us."
Mike turned to Jean ▪ Grey and the X-Men.
"Let's go, Acrylic Lake Hydroelectric Power Station."
Mike looked at Magneto and motioned for him to control the plane to Lake Acrylic.
……
"The squad hasn't come back yet?"
"General Stryker, there's no news yet."
"Can I use the current brainwave intensifier?"
"The brainwave intensifier that lacks the core can't be used yet, but the doctor has completely understood the information he got from Magneto, and if nothing else, he can complete the replication tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? The team reported to me as soon as they returned. ”
Stryker said disgruntled after hearing the guard's report.
"Both Professor X and Cyclops were caught, and dozens of people couldn't even catch some of the kids. Rubbish. ”
Stryker turned and walked to a plain white room.
"Charles, tomorrow this will all end, and you, as the one who ended the life of a mutant with your own hands, will carry it all and die a painful death."
Hearing Stryker's words, Charles's godless eyes seemed to react somewhat.
Stryker pulled out Potion 143 and gave Charles another drop, and Charles's eyes fell silent again.
……
"Mike, probably tomorrow morning"
Tony ▪ Stark used his satellite to locate his Warframe and measured the speed of the X-Fighter.
"Tony, you go to the rest meeting first. There could be a tough battle tomorrow. ”
"Then you."
"I'm full of energy right now."
The cultivation of the pre-word secret of divine consciousness helped Mike a lot, and in a very short period of time, it helped Mike stabilize the somewhat unstable sea of consciousness that had evolved under the influence of Indra's bloodline.
"Then I'll sleep first. I swear, it's one of the hardest days I've ever had. ”
Tony sat down in his chair and adjusted to a comfortable angle. Fell asleep.
The cabin was filled with the sound of breathing and the whispered conversations of Katie, Bobby, John, and Colossus.
Half an hour later
Magneto's voice shattered the silence in the cabin.
"It's here! It's right down there! ”
With that, Magneto piloted the plane to stop in a clearing next to Lake Acrylic.
Bobby the Iceman looked through the porthole of the plane at the frozen lake and said with a smile, "I love the environment here!" ”
At this time, a few more people came out of the woods by the lake, officially members of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
"Erik, you're slow."
Led by the official and famous Demon Girl Raven.
After stealing information from Stryker's office, she seduces a prison guard, injects metal into his veins, and leaves a message for Magneto at a gathering place before rallying the Brotherhood to Lake Acrylic.
"After all, I'm with the big guys."
"Knock Knock"
Mike tapped Tony's visor.
"Wake up."
Tony ▪ Stark was a little unmotivated, and although he slept for a while, he was not as comfortable as his bed in the armor.
Stepping out of the plane and looking at the acrylic lake sparkling in the early morning sun, no one would have imagined that there was an experimental base hidden under the waters of this calm lake.
Mike is not averse to human experimentation, and the progress of general medicine is always faced with dissection and experimentation. The same is true for the development of the human body, but it is only an experiment with innocent civilians, and Mike really can't do such a thing.
And William ▪ Stryker is that as long as you are a mutant, then there are no human rights.
That's the fundamental difference between the two sides.
……
"Ask the Doctor, is the copy complete?"
Stryker casually pulled a soldier whose name he couldn't remember, and commanded.
After a while, the soldier trotted over.
"Report, the professor has completed the replication, and is debugging the parameters of the device to increase the magnification."
"Very well, I have finally waited for this day, my dear, and I will be able to avenge you in no time."
Stryker remembered the scene of that morning, his wife, who had been driven crazy by his own son's mutant abilities, and the bloody scene was a nightmare that he would never get away with for the rest of his life. Since then, he has vowed to kill all mutants.
Stryker clenched his fists and strode to the room where his son, Jason ▪ Stryker, was being held.
……
In the woods by the lake.
Raven is holding a topographical map stolen from Stryker's office and analyzing where to enter.
"There are only flood channels."
After looking at the map, Jean ▪ Grey said.
"If we find it in the floodway," Stryker can open the floodgates and release water into the floodway, and we'll die!" Raven said with a frown.
"Blue Devil, can you teleport in?"
Jean asked the Blue Devil beside him.
The Blue Devil said nervously:
"Uh... You can only teleport into the floodway, but you can't enter the base! My teleportation has to go where I've seen it before, or I might get stuck in the wall! ”
"Katie, you have the ability to take several people at a time"
Mike stood by and listened to them for a long time, and still hadn't discussed anything. Can't help it.
"Alone, my ability control is not proficient."
Katie's little face flushed slightly, and she said with some embarrassment.
"You, memorize the map, find the main control room of the flood discharge device, take the Blue Devil in, and then ask him to teleport and take you out, isn't it."
Tony stood next to him, and Mike's words continued.
"No, you can't let them take risks."
Jean was obviously a little unhappy with letting Katie be in charge of such a dangerous matter, and it was too much for a child to go deep alone.
"Then the only way to attack is through the flood channel. Do you have a third option? ”
Mike looked at Magneto over and over again as he spoke.
"What do you think, Mr. Eric?"
"He's right, that's all we have to say."
Magneto had to admit that Mike had a word, and there was nothing else to do.
