Chapter 10: Epilogue
The Stark Fair riots are over, and Tony is back in the news media headlines. As for Lie, the situation was chaotic at the time, and there were too few videos of him participating in the battle, which was also deliberately done by him, and he didn't want to be called a superhero by some messy nickname from a good deed. This time, what he did was to brush off his clothes and hide his merit and fame. Now he is low-key, many of his plans do not want to be focused on now, and now it is enough to maintain a certain degree of enthusiasm for his company to launch a new product a year, and just like that, an eventful 2008 has passed.
In the new year, Lie himself spent Chinese New Year's Eve in the company, and he spent himself doing research in the office with nothing he wanted to share. And on the first day of the new year, he received an invitation from Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Teens, about the gene repair potion he sent earlier. For the X gene repair of mutants, it is still more complicated for him, because the key mutant clinical trials cannot be done on his side, and only mutant gathering places have the conditions for this. And he, too, respects Charles' choice, it is best to leave this potion to them to experiment on their own.
At the moment, he was drinking tea with Charles in Charles's principal's office, surrounded by Charles's most trusted and proud students. They also have a name - X-Men. However, these soldiers were looking at Lie who was drinking tea there with a serious face.
"I said you don't need to be so nervous, everyone is here to drink tea with you, can you not be so serious, it's a big New Year." Lie was a little speechless, it was you who called him over, and now you are also the stinky face of a catastrophe, can't you say anything directly? What a deep pretence.
"I don't blame them, because what you sent this time is too important." Charles reassured.
"What's the matter, the clinical trial has worked?" Lie asked rhetorically.
"Specifically, let me explain it to you. Mr. Lie," a middle-aged man with glasses shook hands with Lie next to Charles.
The middle-aged man is called Hank. McCoy, according to him, is a generation with Charles and is also the original X-Men. Lie has seen it in the data, but Hank in the data. McCoy was a blue-haired beast, but Lie didn't see anything special about him, just an ordinary middle-aged man. All of a sudden, Lie hadn't reacted to anything. Hank looked at Lie's confused expression, laughed, and slowly changed back to his former beast appearance.
"Looks like it's more comfortable like this." Hank said with a smile.
"The gene repair agent succeeded?" Looking at Hank's appearance, Lie asked with some surprise.
"That's exactly what we're talking about, Mr. Lie." Hank said solemnly.
It turned out that since last year, after Lie gave the gene repair agent to Charles, Charles asked Hank to start researching it. I wanted to use the blood samples of the mutant students here to see what adverse reactions would be to the gene repair agent, and after testing hundreds of times and finding that there was no problem, Hank simply injected the gene repair agent into his body, wanting to observe the reaction of the gene repair agent on his body through himself.
After the injection overnight, Hank did not have any adverse reactions except that he was a little sleepy. Hank, who hadn't slept all night, felt that the gene repair agent had failed this time, and was about to wash up and sleep, Hank in the bathroom looked at himself in the mirror and sighed inexplicably, how long have he maintained this appearance? I really miss the old days. Hank remembered what he was like as a human before, and that's when the unexpected happened.
Hank noticed that the body hair on his body began to shrink and disappear. His face began to move closer to the human, and before he could react, Hank suddenly changed back to his original form, and then he kept switching between human and beast forms. After a long while, Hank realized that this change of form changed with his consciousness, and he could switch between human and beast forms at will. After discovering the efficacy of the gene repair potion, Hank was directly excited, this potion, for many mutants, it is simply a gospel! For this reason, the excited Hank immediately asked Charles to report the discovery, which led to the scene just now.
"Wow, that's the first good news of the new year." Listening to what Hank said, Lie himself didn't expect the effect of the gene repair potion to be so buggy.
"Yes, Mr. Lie, your invention is a complete genius, and it is completely helpful for mutants." Hank was also excited.
"What I know now is that this potion is harmless to mutants, but has it ever been tested on ordinary humans?" Lie couldn't help but worry.
"We've done your consideration, but the experiment shows that it's completely harmless, because everyone actually carries a little bit of the X gene to a greater or lesser extent, and this gene repair agent is a tube of vaccine for ordinary people to prevent mutants from going berserk when they wake up." Hank was also very excited to preach that this problem that had plagued him for more than 30 years was finally solved, and the future of mutants began to brighten.
"No hurry, Dr. Hank, there's a lot of work to be done, like those disgusting mutant research institutes." Lie calmed the excited Dr. Hank, the food should be eaten one bite at a time, even the gene repair agent cannot change the human perception of mutants in this era, only a fundamental change of concept is the most important thing.
Lie's words also made the excited Hank calm down like pouring cold water, they also read the information sent by Lie, and it was not that they had not done a blow, but even if there was Charles's brainwave detector, the removal point was not as many, and several blows also made many institutions use instruments to shield the brainwaves, and there was nothing Charles's could do about it.
"We also consider what you said, but Charles's brainwave detector can't be on standby around the clock." Hank is also a little embarrassed, it's not that they don't work hard, but a lot of things always backfire.
"The information of these agencies is a very useful tool for us to turn the mutant situation around, so don't give it up so easily." Lie said with relief.
"Then you have a solution?" At this time, a handsome guy with sunglasses next to Charles asked.
"Of course, I have something better than a brainwave detector. Scott. Lie said with a smile.
"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Lie."
"I'm just doing what I'm going to do, but before I do that, I have to do some preparation." Lie smiled mysteriously.
After spending some time at Charles' school, Lie went back to his house to prepare. In addition to some basic training, he really used his Ultraman form to fight against Banner in Brooklyn throughout the year, except for some basic training, and he didn't know where the limit of his current Ultraman form was. Although you can cope with many situations with the superpowers that come with your human body, it's better just in case.
With the destruction of the sixth projection monster, Lie panted in the basement and asked Gaia about his current state.
"The human body has reached a hundred times the quality of the human body, which can resist the impact of high-intensity energy, the elemental control has reached the level of urban disaster, and the Ultraman form can ensure that the firepower is fully opened for an hour." The basement echoed with Gaia's data debriefing.
"Is it full fire for an hour? Enough is enough. Lie said in a low voice.
Three days later, the X-Men began to prepare for the first field work of the new year, and as for the mutant research institutions that were hidden, they were all identified by Gaia through the Internet, and there was no hiding place at all. And they also welcomed a new comrade-in-arms.
"What are you going to do here? Violent? Hank asked, looking at Lie, who was wearing a black trench coat and wearing a demon mask and carrying a suitcase in his hand. He didn't understand what he was doing with all the bells and whistles he was going out to fight these mutant agencies.
"Please, Hank, we're here to make trouble for the enemy, are you trying to make trouble in such blatant wearing an X-Men uniform without a mask?"
Lie was really a little speechless, his gang was going to make trouble for others, but he didn't do anything to prepare for anything, so he went out in uniform and didn't cover his face to find trouble for others. Please, with your conspicuous uniform and that face, it's clear that you're ready to let people come to your door to make trouble, okay! Although there was Charles's amnestic, didn't you think about what happened? No wonder the mutants are still in such a bad situation right now, and part of the pot is with you.
Listening to Lie's complaint, Scott, who is the captain, also blushed a little. I'm used to going out in the field like this often. I didn't think about this either, relying too much on Charles's brainwave control. Then he also spoke: "It was my negligence, and now I ask the team members to go back and change their uniforms." ”
"No need, I've got it all for you, one for each person, and a mask. It really is. "Lie interrupted Scott's arrangement, and brought a change of clothes for a mission, are genetic repair agents harmful to the human brain? Lie was thinking about it.
After Hank's personal experiments proved that the gene repair agent was beneficial and harmless to mutants, he also specially equipped 100 for Charles's school, and the first to use them was the X-Men. And Laser Eye-Scott also got one to solve the disadvantage of not being able to control the laser. Now he can shoot lasers at any time, adjust the power, no longer need the quartz red matrix glasses that Hank configured for him, and can finally take a good look at his lover, for Scott these days are definitely the happiest days, and then his head is not so good.
As everyone finished dressing up, Scott also began to group everyone, which was actually a simple change of individual combination. He talks to his girlfriend Jean himself. Grey is in a group, Storm Girl is in a group with Hank, and he is in a group with a man named Logan.
"Whew, don't be afraid, young man." Logan said as he spat out a puff of smoke at Lie.
"Thanks, brother, I'll take care of you." Ryo sneered at Rogan, took out a box of custom-made Cuban cigars from his pocket and threw it to Logan.
"Haha, I'm starting to like you, boy." Looking at the Cuban cigar that Lie threw to him, Logan, who had a special plot for the cigar, said happily.
The six of them boarded the X-Men's Night Owl fighter jets and set off towards one of their nearest targets. Prepare to give this group of extremists a good start to the New Year.
