238. Quietly changing
Westchester's Mutant Academy was immersed in a lively and noisy atmosphere, with young students talking to each other, all of them knowing the news of the professor's promotion of the mutant registration bill, and also seeing the earnest preaching in front of the White House lawn, these young eagles who had not yet grown up felt confused and at the same time vaguely had a glimmer of good hope for the changes they were about to face.
"Babie, did you think the professor was going to kick us out?" John the Burning Man was lying on the table, as if he had a spring on his body, and he couldn't be quiet for a moment.
This restless young man, a well-known thorn in the school, is at the other extreme of the Iceman Bobby's reserved and steady personality, but surprisingly, the two have become good friends.
"How is it possible, didn't Ms. Grey say that we are free to choose, and the school will not evict anyone."
Babi's voice was muffled, he was in a mixed mood now, although his life at school was good, he was more eager to return to a warm family and stay with relatives and friends.
In order to hide his mutant identity, he traveled thousands of miles from Boston to New York, where he stayed under the protection of the professor and was protected from brutal persecution and capture.
"And what are you going to do?" John asked excitedly, "I whispered to Colossus Pete, who wants to join Mr. Siperth's Umbrella Security Team, which is said to make $600,000 a year if done well...... Oh, my God! After a few years of struggle, you can buy a smaller apartment in Manhattan. ”
The burning man chirps like a bird that can't stop its mouth, Bobby holds his chin with one hand, his mind is full of messy thoughts, he doesn't know how to choose, he is different from John, the reason why he came to this school in the first place is because he is afraid that the identity of the mutant will be exposed, which will attract criticism and strange eyes from his family.
If you really muster up the courage to stand up and admit that you are a mutant, as the professor said, how will your family in Boston see you?
Babi is afraid to accept the unknown, and maybe he can get a well-paid formal job at a scientific institute or large corporation like Ambrera or Osborne Industries, which many people dream of entering, or get a letter of recommendation full of gold, and then go to a prestigious university to refined.
But he was more afraid of the price he paid than what he received.
This introverted boy turned his gaze to the little mischievous Mary on the other side, and the girl who was full of youthful vitality also lay on the table, looking bored.
"Mary......" hesitated for a moment, and Bobby reached out and knocked on the girl's desk, "Are you going to leave school?" ”
The little naughty first ducked backwards, then turned her head to find that it was Babi, and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief, because of her own dangerous ability, she always wrapped herself tightly and tried to avoid physical contact with anyone.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but I'd like to give Mr. Siperth's Ambrera a try, and maybe he can help me with some of my troubles."
The girl remembered what the young man had said to herself last time, and felt that she should stand up boldly, at least not worse than her current life, and even if she was not recognized by society, she could still go back to school.
Bobby sighed, and looked at John, who was full of excitement, and the other party had begun to have unrealistic fantasies about joining the umbrella security team, fighting side by side with those American GIs, and then returning with honor and reaching the pinnacle of life.
Everyone had their own thoughts and decisions, but he was still hesitating, and the young boy sighed, with a hint of sorrow in his still green brows.
However, Bobby is not the only one in this school who is facing such troubles, and so is Scott the Cyclops.
"I don't understand why a professor would trust a stranger with bad intentions so much." Scott kept complaining to his girlfriend, like a babbling resentful woman, "Sean Sipers, he used to be with Stryker, and he wants this kind of person to be kind and help us for free, it's like a pipe dream!" ”
"The professor won't hurt us, what are you worried about, Scott?" Jean, who plucked her long red hair, said lightly.
The boyfriend is sometimes like a vexatious child, hostile to Sean or humans, he just wants to hide in school, live his life in peace, and never want to change something.
"I think it was Sean Sypers — that bastard blinded him." Scott's expression was serious, and of course he would not doubt the professor who played the role of a father in his heart.
Cyclops once advised the professor not to trust Sean too much not to trust Sean because he was just a stranger who didn't know the details, and he was not worth entrusting this heavy trust.
But the professor always laughed it off, and chose to divert the topic and keep silent, as if he had reached some kind of tacit agreement with the young man.
This annoys Scott in particular, as a younger generation of X-Men, he has always been the professor's favored successor, the storm girl Ororo is not here, and has no leadership skills, while Wolverine Logan is like a duckweed wandering around, and the beast Hank, although he has enough prestige, has become a diplomatic official of the human government to mutants.
After thinking about it, only I have enough ability, and I have won the trust and appreciation of the professor.
But all this has changed with the arrival of Sean, and the professor has changed the position he has insisted on for many years, and even began to cooperate with the human government, which in Scott's view, is undoubtedly self-defeating and actively burying the future of mutants.
"He must have done some weird magic on the professor." Lasereye thought hatefully.
"Who can fool the world's most powerful mind master?" Jean said disappreciatively.
As she fused with the power of the phoenix in her body, she became more and more influenced by another personality in her body, elegance and dignity now became a hidden appearance, and the wanton madness in her heart was her nature, and one day they would become one and never separate from each other again.
Scott wanted to get comfort from his girlfriend, but who knew that the other party didn't care, which made the annoyed Laser Eye depressed, and he looked at Jean in a red wrap dress, with a hint of obsession in his eyes, and involuntarily leaned over.
The fiery figure suddenly turned around and took a few steps to the side, as if inadvertently avoiding her boyfriend's intimacy.
"What's wrong with you?" Scott looked puzzled.
Before he could get to Qin's side, the mature and beautiful phoenix girl quietly flashed away, and this situation was not once or twice.
"I have a headache and I don't feel well." Jean said apologetically.
Scott was stunned, he knew that Jean had been in a trance a long time ago, and the professor said that it was a psychological problem left over from childhood, and he wanted to understand it clearly, but he got a vague answer.
"It's going to rain, do you still want to go out?" Cyclops saw his girlfriend wearing a black coat and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"In the agreement negotiated with the White House, the mutants will set up a contact center in Manhattan, which Hank will manage, and I will be responsible for preparing some paperwork."
Qin looked calm, she looked at her boyfriend with a depressed look, and said softly: "I have to get my hair done by the way, and I shouldn't come back at night." ”
