455, the misunderstanding between Little Spider and Raven
Raven had been looking forward to meeting new people, but she was disappointed by the accident, and Harry and Peter were very upset to see her departing back.
"Why do I always talk nonsense when it comes to critical moments, my damn mouth?" Peter said depressedly.
"Because you don't talk with your brain, Peter." Carrie said earnestly, "You're talking too fast, faster than your brain, and in this case, you can't even say anything in your head, understand?" β
"I ......" Peter was speechless, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether Carrie was complaining that he was talking too fast or that his brain was running too slowly.
Harry reluctantly patted Peter on the shoulder and sighed, "Man, it's really time for you to change your way of talking, you talk like a Gatling when you talk to acquaintances, but when you meet strangers you start stammering gibberish, you need to exercise, friend." β
"That's true, that's true, you're telling the truth......" Peter nodded in acknowledgement.
Harry sighed and whispered by his arm around Peter's shoulder, "And, man, I can see that the mutant girl just now is very interested in you, she must have wanted to befriend you because of your freshman speech, but you ruined your image in her mind......"
"Really?" Peter realized it and asked in disbelief, "You said the girl just now...... Interesting to me? β
"Of course." Harry nodded, "It's obvious. β
"Huh?" Peter still can't believe that he is so fond of girls?
"Of course, it's obvious." - Carrie next to her also added a sentence in the fun.
Harry glanced at Peter, then at Raven, who was already far away, shook his head and said, "It's a shame you've missed a wonderful girl." β
"How do you know she's a wonderful girl?" Peter asked curiously.
"It's simple." Harry smiled, "I've heard that her ability is transformationβthat is, she can be transformed into any woman in this world...... Peter, you stupid boy, think about this ability. β
With that, Harry tapped Peter on the shoulder and went to refill the drink.
β¦β¦
The other side.
Disappointed, Raven gulped down her drink and walked back to the mutant group in frustration.
She originally thought that life in the Super Academy would be pleasant, because everyone is a superpower, and if they live with their own kind, there will be no discrimination, exclusion and bullying again.
But because in her previous life, Raven was hurt so deeply, before she met Charles Xavier, she was almost spurned and hunted down like a rat crossing the street......
So the trauma in her heart was so severe that the slightest stimulation of these tragic memories would awaken them.
What are the words Peter Parker just said, "abnormal", "mutated", "monster" and so on......
Raven knew it was an unintentional mistake, and Peter Parker didn't have any ill intentions, everyone was a superpower, and Peter Parker himself was a weirdo who could breathe spider silk...... How could he possibly mock Raven sarcastically?
But when these words pop up, Raven still thinks of the days when she was bullied.
She remembered that someone had tried to hang her up and burn her, and someone had thrown her into a gutter......
She remembers someone tying her up and handing her over to the police, and strongly recommending that her mutated monster be sent for experimentation......
After Peter Parker finished saying those words, Raven's mood deteriorated, it had nothing to do with Peter, and it wasn't Raven's glass heart, but mutants were discriminated against too much in society, which was destined for a tragic fate that they couldn't escape......
And Charles and Eric didn't know what was going on on the other side just now, and these two people didn't have clairvoyance and ears.
But they did keep an eye on Raven silently, and they all wanted to see if the mutant girl's first conversation was successful.
When Raven turns around and returns in disappointment, Charles and Eric realize that something is not quite right, and it seems that their conversation is not pleasant, and Raven's mood plummets.
"Hey, Raven, what's going on?" Charles hurriedly asked with concern, "Isn't things going well?" There is still some misunderstanding. β
Because it was Charles who suggested that Raven go to talk to the little spider at the beginning, Charles was most worried when he saw that Raven was in a bad mood.
If Raven had been hurt, Charles would have felt guilty.
Although Eric is unmoved on the surface, he also looks at Raven silently, and although he and Raven have only known each other for a short time, he is also very attentive to this fellow mutant.
"It's no big deal, Charles, don't make such a fuss, everything is going well." Raven didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she shook her head and said, "I'm just going over to say hello and get to know each other, that's all, I'll be back after saying hello." β
"Don't try to fool me, if all goes well, you won't be back so soon. Please, this is a sorority, you are friends who meet for the first time, under normal circumstances, shouldn't they leave you to chat and enhance the relationship? Charles asked again.
That's when Eric joined the discussion.
"Yes, Raven, I can see you're in a bad mood right now. What's going on? Did the household name Spider-Man bully you? If he really bullied you, I don't care if he's Spider-Man, whether he's a freshman representative, or if he's a student that Principal Goofy admires the most...... I promise you, I'll make him pay! β
Eric said forcefully,
"We mutants have been humiliated too much, we must learn to stand up and resist!"
Raven was speechless, shook her head and said, "Don't mess around, Erik! We're all classmates, I'm just going to introduce myself, what can I be bullied for? Do you think the brave little spider will bully his classmates? You're just thinking nonsense! β
Charles also nodded and said, "Yes, Eric, I think you are taking things too seriously, Peter Parker is by no means a villain who bullies his classmates, maybe there is indeed an unpleasantness between him and Raven, but he will definitely not bully Raven." β
"There was no unpleasantness between us either, we had a good time!" Raven said hurriedly.
Eric shrugged, he had been persecuted by Hydra for three years and was now on the verge of persecution paranoia, so even if it was a simple matter, he would think about the worst situation. It's his problem, but it's also his character that he can't change.
After calming down and thinking about it, he probably guessed what had happened to Raven.
Maybe Raven expressed her affection to the little spider, but the little spider rejected it on the spot.
That's why Raven was so unhappy, but she didn't tell them.
So Eric took Raven's hand and comforted him softly: "Raven, you are a wonderful girl, you are the dazzling pearl of our mutants, anyone who doesn't know how to appreciate you is a superficial fool, you deserve to be held in the palm of your hand." β
Raven got goosebumps from Eric's words, and asked with a confused face, "Eric, why are you telling me this?" Did you eat something wrong? β
Eric shook his head, "No, Raven, I'm telling the truth. β
Charles's thoughts were actually the same as Eric's, he also felt that it might be Peter who rejected Raven, and he also cautiously comforted his "cousin" and said softly: "Raven, you will definitely have countless suitors in the future." β
Raven is simply confused, what kind of medicine did these two guys take wrong?
At this moment, a few strangers not far away came over talking and laughing.
"Hey, you're mutants, aren't you? Guys! β
"It's funny to say, how are mutants different from us Inhumans? I've heard that you don't need Terrigan for your mutations, right? It's so convenient. β
"Let's talk about it, don't make any small groups. We're all classmates, and mutants and Inhumans should be united, aren't they? β
