Early May 1983, Eagle Sauce Country, New York, Statue of Liberty.

Keisha stood under the statue with Eric's daughter Nina in her arms, and the little girl smiled in the crook of Keisha's arm that would melt the snow and ice, looking up at the statue that seemed to her to be larger than a mountain.

Perhaps because Nina hadn't been so happy for a long time, a seagull swept across the harbor behind everyone and quietly landed on the girl's outstretched thin arm.

A pair of eyes that seemed to reveal human emotions looked at Nina with a puzzled look as the seagull's head turned.

Nina, who was holding the seagull, let out an even more joyful smile, and kept showing off her new partner to Keisha and her mother next to her.

At the edge of Liberty Island, where the statue sits, Xiao Yuebai and Eric propped their elbows on the guardrail, looking at the sea that looked very bright in the warm sun.

Eric was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, you don't seem to have changed at all, are you also a mutant?" ”

Xiao Yuebai thought about it when he heard this, then hesitated and said, "From some angles, it should be counted." Remember that Xiao who tortured you? ”

When he heard the word "Xiao", Eric's body was obvious for a while, but after a while, Eric still relaxed and replied:

"You collected his blood, didn't you? When? ”

smiled and told Eric about fishing in troubled waters back then, and then Xiao Yuebai explained in the other party's incredible gaze:

"Charles cared about you very much, and he didn't want you to sink deeper and deeper into hatred, so he didn't pay attention to me who had been hiding behind you."

Hearing Xiao Yuebai talk about Charles, a knowing smile appeared on Eric's face, and he unconsciously remembered his friend again.

Maybe when this is over, he should find time to see his old friend.

"Strictly speaking, I guess I stole your mutant treasures, right? Aren't you angry? Eric! ”

Xiao Yuebai looked at the smile on Eric's face that had not yet dissipated, and asked with both temptation and curiosity.

Eric was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then thought carefully and said:

"Byron, to be honest, if you hadn't saved my wife and daughter this time, I think I'd have made you my first target after I found out that you stole mutant blood."

"But now it's different, I'm not Magneto anymore, I have my own wife and daughter. So more often than not, I'm Eric. Lanscher, I need a stable environment. ”

"Besides, you are taking my enemy's things, and they have nothing to do with me, and my family and lover are also living in this world because you are still alive, why should I be angry?"

Xiao Yuebai smiled and raised his hand to pat Eric's shoulder, and at this time, Keisha hugged Nina, and Eric's wife also came to the side of the two men.

Giving Xiao Yuebai a nonchalant smile, Eric took his daughter from Keisha's hand, and the father and daughter stared at each other in this warm atmosphere, and showed a smile that expressed happiness.

Seeing that everyone had already gathered together, Xiao Yuebai came to Nina and said with a smile: "Nina, how is it, are you having fun?" ”

Nina, who was holding the seagull, glanced at her father, and in Eric's encouraging gaze, Nina also gave Xiao Yuebai a sweet smile, and kept pointing at her little brain and said:

"Well, I'm very happy, it's the first time I've seen so many people!"

As the saying goes, "The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention", as Nina's father, Eric's heart suddenly darkened when he heard such words.

As a father, of course, he knows that it is too important for a child's childhood to have a group of friends to play with.

But he is a mutant, and even more so a mutant who once wanted to assassinate the president, and the world is always full of malice for him, and he has to take his wife and daughter to hide in one inaccessible place after another.

So he couldn't give Nina a childhood full of joy like an ordinary child, and thinking of this, Eric's face couldn't help but be full of unwillingness and remorse.

Of course, this could not escape Xiao Yuebai's eyes, he still maintained his warm smile, and said to Nina:

"Well, does Nina want to meet friends as old as you? Want to go to school? ”

"Going to school? What is that? Nina tilted her cute pink apple face when she heard this, and asked with seriousness and curiosity on her little face.

“emmm......!” Xiao Yuebai thought about it, and then replied very seriously:

"There are lots and lots of kids your age, you can be friends with them, you can play games, you can have fun every day, do you want that kind of life?"

Hearing the words of the big brother in front of her, Nina thought about it carefully, and suddenly looked at her father who was holding her, but her eyes were full of longing that could not be hidden.

Eric knew what Xiao Yuebai meant, except for his old friend Charles's mutant academy, he would not be at ease no matter how his daughter went to any school in this world.

If he sent his daughter to Charles, Eric thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be a good choice.

So holding his daughter with one hand and rubbing her face lightly with the other, Eric smiled and said to his daughter:

"Does Nina want to go? If you want, Dad and the principal of that school are good friends, and you will learn a lot of things there that Mom and Dad don't have, and you will also meet a lot of good friends. ”

"Yes, I want to go!" After hearing that her father also agreed, Nina simply agreed.

Hearing this, Eric smiled and kissed his daughter on the forehead, and then said, "Okay, Dad will take you to that school in two days, how about it?" ”

With Nina's crisp consent, Xiao Yuebai also knew that this conversation between father and daughter should also come to an end.

Xiao Yuebai saw that the father and daughter stopped talking, and stepped forward and said, "Before going to Charles, I think you should go with me and meet our friends first!" ”

After finishing speaking, under Eric's puzzled gaze, he took the lead and walked out with Keisha.

The group came to the place where they had parked before, and then Xiao Yuebai drove to the downstairs of Kaisha Building.

Originally, Eric thought that Xiao Yuebai would take him to some government department, but he didn't expect that after getting out of the car, the first thing he saw was indeed a towering office building in the business district of New York.

And Xiao Yuebai's next words made him even more startled: "Welcome to my company, this 180-story building is the property of my name, and I usually live on the top floor here." ”

Eric, who had always thought that Xiao Yuebai was the leader of a special science department of the CIA, asked suspiciously: "Byron, are you not from the CIA?" ”

Xiao Yuebai smiled shyly and replied: "I have a lot of identities, but since your thoughts have changed, it's time for you to know something, come with me!" ”

After finishing speaking, the Eric family, led by Xiao Yuebai and Kaisha, entered a special elevator and came to the 90th floor of the building.

As the elevator door opened, Xiao Yuebai pointed to a big-looking office door in the distance and said, "Come on, our friend is there!" ”

After saying that, he tightened the daughter in his arms, and Eric took his wife to keep up with Xiao Yuebai and Kaisha in a daze.

It wasn't until they got to the office door that Eric felt untold for some reason suddenly feel his heart become extremely nervous.

Xiao Yuebai raised his hand and knocked on the door, and then twisted the doorknob again, and the office door was opened.

As everyone entered the office, a cacophony of exclamations rang out.

Raven/Charles: "Eric? ”*2

Eric: "Charles? Raven? ”

Liang Bing: "Bichi! ”

Keisha: "Humph! ”
