Section 72 Hell's Kitchen: Mutants' Paradise (Part I)
"How is this possible? This is New York City, how could the government and military allow us mutants to form an independent kingdom here? โ
Professor X's voice just fell. The White Queen shook her head affirmatively.
"It's not an independent kingdom, it's just a certain amount of possession." Professor X went on to explain, "We only ask that people from the government and military of the matchmaker country not enter Hell's Kitchen, and we do not prohibit other humans.
In addition, in addition to the fact that the army and police can no longer be sent into Hell's Kitchen. The houses and land in Hell's Kitchen still nominally belong to the government. Broadly speaking, apart from the fact that the owners of Hell's Kitchen have changed from gangsters and criminals to us mutants, not much has changed in the whole of Hell's Kitchen. โ
"But is it really good to bring our fellow mutants together so blatantly? I'm afraid that the military will be desperate to drop nuclear bombs on our heads. For Professor X's proposal, Long Legs was a little worried:
"And isn't it good for the media military and government to monitor us when we get together like this? I don't quite understand what is in it for us to do that. โ
Professor X shook his head at his long legs: "Don't worry about my children, no matter what happens to the matchmaker's military, they won't dare to use heavy weapons in New York City, let alone nuclear bombs." Didn't you see, this time the media military used only rocket artillery in this war against us?
As for the surveillance and non-surveillance, as long as our mutants are strong enough that the government and military of the media country dare not do anything to us, then it is just surveillance, who cares? โ
"That's right..." Magneto on the side also agreed: "That's the reason, as long as we can gather all of New York's mutant compatriots who don't need to be in the media country." I don't think the government and the military will have the guts to go to war with us again.
Missiles or nuclear bombs? If we get so many mutants together, we end up with all this flashy stuff exploding above our heads. Then I think it's time for us to die. โ
"However, with the strength of our Brotherhood alone, I am afraid that we will not be able to control the entire Hell's Kitchen. And it should be difficult to gather the mutants in the whole of New York in a short period of time, right? โ
The demon girl, who has been silent, also expressed her opinion.
Hearing this, Professor X looked directly at Tom, "Do you remember what Magneto said to you?" Mr. White? If you and your watchers really want to do something for the mutants, then you must not stay out of the sea.
Only truly return to the earth and provide shelter for our people. That way, you will be recognized by our fellow mutants. โ
"yes, our Brotherhood alone can't control Hell's Kitchen. But with you watchmen, I guess that's not a problem, right? Magneto immediately followed.
"Well, let me think again."
Tom looked at her long legs and saw that she was also looking confused. So he chose to answer Professor X and Magneto for a while, he needed to discuss it with Long Legs first.
"Of course, I'm just giving you advice kids. You are the leader of the watchmen, and it is ultimately up to you to decide what to do. Professor X nodded, no more.
Magneto was a little anxious: "Then you have to think quickly, it's been more than ten minutes." It won't be long before our interview is aired.
When the time comes, the government and the military will definitely come to us for negotiations. The decision of your watchmen will also indirectly determine how we will respond to this negotiation. โ
ยทยทยทยทยท
After saying that he would think about it, Tom went straight to a corner of the street with his long legs.
"What do you think? Do you think we should promise Professor X and Magneto? โ
"I don't know, I never thought that mutants could take over a piece of land in New York City. And isn't it always yours who do the great things of our watchmen?
Whatever you think, do it. Rest assured, I and the members of our Watchmen will continue to support you, my dear... โ
The long legs were also full of hesitation, and in the end, they still didn't give any advice. Say, it's up to Tom to decide.
"Okay, let me think about it..."
Tom nodded, realizing that he was a little too demanding of long legs. The main thing is that the recent things have been decided by the long legs, which has made Tom feel a little bit of a wife dependence.
It wasn't until now that Tom reacted, and in the face of the temptation to occupy Hell's Kitchen with the Brotherhood, Tom, as an "omniscient and all-powerful traverser", was a little difficult to choose for a while. What's more, it's just a mutant with some ability, with long legs.
"So, do I say yes or no?"
Then, under the watchful eye of the long-legged pair of beautiful eyes, Tom began to think about the pros and cons of this matter.
As a traveler with shallow social experience, Tom can only consider this matter from the perspective of future world development.
First of all, there are the cons:
First, taking over Hell's Kitchen with the Brotherhood will undoubtedly make the Watchmen even more visible. Naturally, it is possible to attract a series of troubles such as the matchmaker military, the matchmaker government, S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, and even the ancient one.
Second, a powerful mutant race that occupies Hell's Kitchen will definitely make a huge difference to the future development of the world. If nothing else, let's talk about the upcoming battle in New York in a few years.
Hell's Kitchen is roughly a rectangular area bounded by 59th and 34th Streets to the north and south, 8th Avenue to the east, and the Hudson River to the west. And Tony Stark's Stark Building, right next to West 34th Street, is so close to each other. When the time comes, whether it is for self-preservation or otherwise, it is impossible for mutants to sit idly by.
Then, there is the pro:
First, they occupy the Hell's Kitchen with the Brotherhood, provided that the matchmaker government acquiesces. Then, Tom's watchman and strength will inevitably take off again.
After all, there is the protection of the Brotherhood and the Watchman, and the acquiescence of the matchmaker's government. When the time comes, Hell's Kitchen will become a paradise for mutants, that's for sure. Needless to say, if Professor X and Magneto's plan succeeds, there will be countless mutants who have come to seek refuge.
Second, getting close to Tony Stark is equivalent to getting close to the Avengers. In this way, Tom should be able to guide the future direction of the world more easily.
"Two advantages and two disadvantages, it's really hard to choose."
That's all Tom can think of for now. There are pros and cons, and Tom still has a hard time choosing.
"What, is it still hard to decide?" Seeing that Tom was silent for a long time, he finally shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, if we accept the advice of Magneto and Professor X, we Watchers will definitely be able to greatly improve our strength in the short term. But in the future, I'm afraid there will be some bad effects.
Moreover, as our strength increases, I am afraid that we will inevitably provoke some new enemies. โ
Of course, Tom couldn't have said all his concerns about long legs. But it's okay to hide some things that can't be said, give a general explanation, and let her help her measure them.
"Well, is it possible that the enemies you are talking about pose a mortal threat to us?"
Long Legs nodded, then began to ponder. After a while, a question was raised.
Tom hesitated, "Yes, no?" โ
Hydra, through so far, Tom has never encountered these guys, which shows how deep it lurks. These guys who have been hiding in the shadows, even if they accidentally provoke them, they should not dare to come to the door blatantly, right?
As for S.H.I.E.L.D., if both the government and the military choose to put up with it for the time being. Then with the urine nature of S.H.I.E.L.D., I'm afraid that at most I will send someone to warn a few words.
After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is an international organization and cannot interfere too much in the internal affairs of the United States. Moreover, at this moment, it should be Hydra who is in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. With the style of these guys trying to develop as much as possible, they should, they won't take the initiative to find trouble, right?
As for the matchmaker government and the matchmaker military, even if Tom and his watchmen don't agree to Magneto's and Professor X's invitation, will they be able to spare Tom and his watchmen? No way!
If the matchmaker government and the military dare not fight his own ideas, Tom can only raise his own strength and the watchman's strength to the point where the matchmaker government and the U.S. military dare not provoke. Therefore, the media government and the military can actually be ignored.
"Isn't that what it takes? If the forces you are talking about cannot pose a mortal threat to us, what are we afraid of them for? When are we mutants not facing the targeting of the whole world?
As for causing some bad effects on the future, although I don't know what exactly you will say. But, after all, that's a matter of the future, isn't it? Since your choice will definitely have a bad impact, why don't we just find a way to change it back in advance when our strength is enough?
Be confident my Tom, you're my Elizabeth Braddock man. He is the leader of the watchmen, and the maker of the blue lantern ring. All the watchmen are willing to support you without hesitation. Don't hesitate and don't doubt yourself. โ
"I'm afraid it's not that easy..."
Although Tom himself knew that it would be nice if things were as easy as Long Legs said. Cause and effect are never a simple matter. But, I have to say, the words of long legs are really uplifting.
"Am I a little too timid during this time? After all, I'm going to be Tom White's man. โ
