On Christmas Eve, December 24, 1987, the hotel opposite the old S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters in Washington.

In a business suite on the 25th floor of the hotel, Professor X's head has become shiny, and his good friends, Magneto Eric, and others booked this room three days ago.

The two of them were followed by other X-Men members, Raven the Magic, Ororo the Storm, Scott the Cyclops, Dark Phoenix, Quicksilver Pilot, Kurt the Nightcrawler, and Alex the Ravaging of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Although they all had their own rooms, at the moment they were gathered in Charles and Eric's room, as if waiting for someone.

Sure enough, after half an hour, there was a knock on the door, only to hear a voice outside the door: "Professor, may I bring my child in?" He's a shapeshifter. ”

After the mutants looked at each other, Magneto Eric pushed Charles's wheelchair to the back of the door and opened a crack in the door.

Charles saw Xiao Yuebai and Peggy and Howard and other high-ranking officials of S.H.I.E.L.D. behind him at a glance, as for what Xiao Yuebai said just now, it was the code they had agreed on before.

Letting everyone into his room, Charles was surprised to find that in addition to the three S.H.I.E.L.D. founders, his old lover Mora actually came with the three of them.

While Xiao Yuebai and Eric and other mutants were greeting, Charles and Mora secretly glanced at each other and then gave each other a slightly embarrassed smile.

After the greetings that everyone met for the first time, Xiao Yuebai, who was relatively close to mutants, took the initiative to stand in the middle of the crowd and began to speak:

"I believe that Professor Charles has already told you the purpose of your visit to Washington before, and I believe that everyone here already knows the harmfulness of the Hydra organization, so I will not describe it here."

"On behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D., I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all mutants for coming all the way from the autonomous region that belongs to you to help me ordinary people solve these troubles."

"As for the next plan of action, it's pretty straightforward. Because tomorrow is Christmas, we at S.H.I.E.L.D. still have our day job. ”

"But compared to usual, everyone who works will seem much more relaxed. So tomorrow is a very good time to act, and then you just need to follow Professor Charles's instructions and take control of the Hydra spy. ”

"Of course, it's best if you don't cause property damage!"

After Xiao Yuebai said this, everyone laughed in unison, and they understood that what the Asian man just said was a joke.

After all, as long as there is a life-and-death battle, it is inevitable to destroy the materials around the battlefield, and the last time it was fought in Cairo, the apocalypse directly erased the dilapidated Cairo from the map.

But it's good news for a city like that, at least they can build a modern city on the level of the ruins.

In the laughter of everyone, Xiao Yuebai also smiled and continued: "But the most important thing is that although most of our opponents are ordinary people. ”

"But inevitably, there are still a lot of agents with a lot of battlefield experience, so I hope you must put your own safety first tomorrow."

"If any of you get hurt, I guess Professor Charles and the Governor of Eric will blame me for the rest of my life."

"So for the sake of my friendship with the professor and the county head, please be careful!"

As he finished his somewhat witty and serious speech, Xiao Yuebai clapped his palms and continued to the still young mutants around him:

"I still have some things to discuss with the professor and the county head, I wonder if you can give us a little space?"

After getting Charles and Eric's acquiescence, the others left Charles' room one after another.

In the end, only Xiao Yuebai, Peggy, Howard, and mutants Charles, Eric, and Mora were left in the room.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Yuebai turned his head and asked Peggy, "What time do we act tomorrow?" ”

Peggy thought carefully about it and said, "Steve and Bucky should have arrived in Washington by train this morning, although the two of them don't need to rest. ”

"But we're going to need a few more hours of stabilization to make sure the two of them go unnoticed, so I think it's best to start the action at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon!"

"Four o'clock in the afternoon?" Xiao Yuebai thought about it for a while when he heard this, and felt that the time arranged by Peggy was quite good.

After all, due to Christmas, almost all units, including S.H.I.E.L.D., will let people leave work at five o'clock to allow enough time for employees to go home for the holidays.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, there is still an hour before the end of work, which is the most relaxed time for people's minds.

Thinking of the key to this, Xiao Yuebai nodded and said to Peggy: "Okay, it's set at four o'clock in the afternoon, let's get the time right first!" ”

After Xiao Yuebai checked the watches in his hands with Peggy and Howard, and then adjusted their respective times, Peggy and Howard got up and said goodbye to the mutants.

One of them is in charge of Hydra agents lurking in the eastern government of Eagle Sauce Country, while the other is in charge of cleaning up in the west.

As for the two Hydra bases that Kaisha and Hexi are responsible for, because Xiao Yuebai has his own internal communication channel of the angels, the notice of the action is also conveyed by him to the two angels.

After sending off Howard and Peggy, Xiao Yuebai returned to the room again, and under the gaze of the three mutants, Xiao Yuebai took out a model car helmet-like thing from a handbag he was carrying and handed it to Charles.

In the other party's inexplicable gaze, Xiao Yuebai said: "Professor Charles, when we act tomorrow, we need you to be responsible for the overall monitoring of Washington." ”

"But your brainwave amplifier is so bulky, so I had you develop an easy version of the helmet."

"Wearing it won't allow your brainwaves to spread around the world, but at least the entire Washington can still be detected by you."

"So, tomorrow, in addition to monitoring the inside of the building, if there is an accident in the operation in other directions, you can also use it to help our agents in other directions."

Taking the helmet handed over by Xiao Yuebai, Charles asked with some confusion: "What about Mr. Howard?" ”

Smiling slightly, Xiao Yuebai's face suddenly appeared with a touch of profundity, and then explained to Charles: "Don't worry, do you know why I left Emma in New York?" ”

"It's because there's a machine in my factory base that is the same as the one in the basement of your school."

"After all, she is an agent of our S.H.I.E.L.D., so her workload is much larger than yours, you only need to be in charge of Washington, D.C., and she has to focus on the entire Eagle Sauce Country."

Charles couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and his face was full of amazement, he had always thought that he was the only one in the world who had a brainwave intensifier.

But now that Xiao Yuebai told him the truth, he instantly thought of the man in front of him, who had backed up the construction drawings of the brainwave intensifier from Hank when he joined the Hellfire Club 20 years ago.

Thinking of this, Charles immediately came to another conclusion, that is, 20 years ago, when he just knew who the members of the Hellfire Club were, he was ready to include the White Queen Emma in S.H.I.E.L.D.

What a terrible ability to meet, and what a meticulous layout it takes!

Thinking of this, Char couldn't help but make up his mind that after this matter was over, he must reach an agreement with Eric to let the mutants try to reach a long-term cooperative relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D.
