Chapter 61: The Gift
A morning of banter that left Eric and Charles exhausted.
After lunch, the two little ones were so sleepy that they went to sleep, and Mike rested for a while and began to prepare for dinner, and when Clark saw it, he immediately came to help.
Today, Christmas Eve, dinner will be sumptuous.
It was a clean afternoon.
In the evening, after a sumptuous dinner, a family of four gathered around the fireplace, one holding a cup of hot drink and watching TV, without the intention of going out against the heavy snow.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared on TV.
Tony stark.
At this time, Tony Stark is seriously wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.
It's Christmas time for businesses and officials, and as the new head of Stark Industries, Tony Stark is naturally the one to appear.
"Huh? This guy started running Stark Industries? ”
Mike was stunned, looked at the young, but smelly face, said something unpleasant, and whispered.
It seems that although he saved Howard, things still went according to the original trajectory.
Is this the self-healing of space-time?
Just then, Mike overhears some strange conversations.
Charles: "This man...... Wasn't that weird uncle that day? ”
Erik: "yes! You still call him a milk seller, it's too much! ”
Charles: "You didn't ask him for food. ”
Clark: "So a rich man?" But look at that stinky face......"
The three of them said in unison: "I really want to hit him!" ”
The three of you beat him, and he can't get by?
Mike chuckled.
"Dad, take a photo!"
Charles suddenly pulled out his camera.
Eric pulls out a red Santa hat and puts it on Mike's head.
Then Clark took out a gift box and handed it to Mike, saying, "This is what the three of us prepared together." ”
Mike was stunned, looking at the gift box handed to him, his heart warmed, and old tears almost burst out.
Mike hugged the three of them hard and set the gift box aside.
He sits under the Christmas tree, with the three brothers standing behind Mike, allowing Eric to take control of the camera.
"Merry Christmas!"
In unison, the picture freezes.
In the photo, under the Christmas tree, the four of them are smiling brightly.
At night, when the three of them returned to their room, they looked at the sports car and bicycle placed in the room, and looked at the Santa Claus decoration hanging on it, and cheered.
Clark was blue, and after a 'friendly' discussion between Eric and Charles, Eric chose black, and Charles got the white one with a sad face.
Listening to the commotion coming from the children's room, Mike smiled with satisfaction and took out the gifts the children had prepared for him.
It was a gift box the size of half a palm.
I shouldn't be able to put anything big.
Mike muttered, and after taking it apart, he was a little surprised.
It turned out to be a gold ring.
Gold?
Mike frowned.
These boys, where did the money come from? Did you do it with your own ability?
Just then, Mike saw a small card underneath the gift box.
To our dear Dad!
After a warm sentence, three names in different fonts were written underneath, and then in the corner where he sat down, a sentence was written that made Mike cry and laugh.
PS: This is what we bought with the pocket money we have saved for a long time.
The words "long time" and pocket money have been bolded.
Needless to say, it must have been Charles' ghostly idea.
Picking up the ring, he noticed that there were a few words in the ring inside.
To dear Dad.
Mike brought it down, and it was the right size.
Ha, I didn't expect the first ring I brought in this world to be given by children.
As soon as he thought of this, Mike couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and even rolled in a circle on the bed happily like a child.
"Dad?"
Clark suddenly appeared in the doorway.
Mike stiffened, coughed lightly, got up and looked at Clark at the door, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Eric and Charles want me to ask you, can you eat buns tomorrow morning?"
Mike rarely does it because he finds it troublesome.
"Buns? No problem! ”
Mike nodded.
Clark smiled, closed the door, then turned and slapped Eric and Charles, gave a quiet cheer, and went back to their rooms and went to bed.
The next day, the Kent family had a good day in New York City, bought some things, and rested for a night, then ended the Christmas trip and returned to the farm outside New York City to resume their normal life.
……
Raven, because of her unique mutant abilities, is the best agent and the best infiltrator.
Today, approaching the New Year, she has a new mission, assassination.
It was a scientist, an executioner who experimented with mutants, dissected countless mutants, and posed a great threat to mutants in the future.
Raven has killed many people, but no one has ever made her so urgent, eager to send the other party to hell immediately, and she will not delay for a second.
When she sneaked into the other party's research room and looked at the bloody reports, she felt as if she had been poured a basin of ice water over her head, which made her shiver unconsciously.
Then there was an incomparable anger, as if the fire of anger that was about to burn her to ashes, began to burn from the bottom of her heart.
Therefore, even if she did not get the approval of the Black Emperor for this operation, she still came.
Black Emperor ......
Thinking of that man, Raven's eyes sank.
Since that woman appeared three years ago and became the Black Queen of the Hellfire Club, the woman who became Sebastian Shaw, the Black Emperor as the leader has changed.
Become cruel, become irascible and ruthless.
Hellfire Club ......
If this continues, it will also start to deteriorate.
After taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling it, after driving all the distracting thoughts out of her mind, she looked at the research institute not far away, her body changed, she turned into the appearance of a security guard, and strode over.
She had already found out the whereabouts of the other party, and she was in front of the place disguised as a general pharmaceutical research institute.
After several transformations, temporarily knocking down those who are in the way, and catching inconspicuous corners, she has gone from security guard to experimental assistant, and is an experimental assistant that only a few people can enter and exit important areas.
With the Mediterranean on his head, his fat body, coupled with a sparse beard, and dark circles under his eyes, no one would have thought that he was the same person as her now.
After fingerprint verification and pupil recognition, she finally entered the deepest part of the institute.
Then, she looked at everything inside and felt like her mind went blank.
It's brutal.
One by one, unconscious mutants are locked in separate special compartments like lambs to the slaughter, some are brought in, and some are sent out as 'parts'.
"Vader! Let's go, the doctor is looking for you, there's an experiment waiting for you to break down. ”
One of the experimenters tapped her on the shoulder and spoke to him.
Raven nodded and walked with her to the lab.
His eyes were cold.
