Chapter 31: An Unexpected Helper
"Hello Professor, I'm Bucky Barnes."
Yesterday Anna also called Bucky at Xavier School, and Bucky dialed back according to the number, and it happened to be Professor X who answered the phone.
"It's Mr. Barnes, are you looking for Anna?" The professor's voice was as enthusiastic as ever.
"No, Professor, I'm looking for you, I want you to help me with something, I want to kill a bad guy, and rescue a few mutants by the way, but I don't know where the bad guy is, I think Professor you will definitely be able to help me."
Bucky tells the professor about Stryker's experiments with mutants, and tells the professor that there should be more than ten mutants in Stryker's stronghold, and that one of them should have the ability to mutate like Cyclops.
Bucky's remarks made Professor X both angry and guilty, as the leader of the mutants, he had never known that anyone was doing such a brutal experiment. After thanking Bucky, Professor X went to the brainwave booster, put on his helmet, and began to search the place Bucky had said.
There are over 30,000 mutants throughout North America, and even with the help of a brainwave booster, it can be very time-consuming for Professor X to find Stryker's stronghold.
Bucky was drinking coffee in the coffee shop and waiting for news, when suddenly, a beautiful girl with long wavy blond hair sat in front of Bucky, staring at Bucky without blinking.
The sudden appearance of the strange girl made Bucky a little confused, and asked, "Hello, is there something wrong?" ”
"You're a mutant?"
The girl's words surprised Bucky, although she is not a mutant, her abilities are the same as those of a mutant, how did the girl learn about her abilities? What is her purpose?
"I'm sorry, miss, I don't know what you're talking about?" Bucky leaned back slightly, leaned back on the couch, distanced himself from the girl slightly, and said in a calm tone.
"You were talking to Charles just now, I heard you."
Although Bucky deliberately lowered his voice when talking to Professor X just now, he didn't expect to be heard by this girl. Since this girl can call Professor X's name, she must also be one of the mutants, and Bucky didn't deny it anymore.
"Yes, I was talking to the professor just now, miss, may I ask who you are?"
The girl took the initiative to shake Bucky's hand and said, "My name is Raven, you can also call me the Witch." ”
The next moment, the jade hand that Bucky was holding changed, and his skin suddenly turned into something like blue scales. But the change was fleeting, and the next moment it was back to its previous form.
Sure enough, it's a demon girl!
"It turned out to be a famous demon girl, I don't know what your majesty is looking for me?" Bucky asked, but he already had a slight guess in his mind.
Demonic followed Professor X when she was young, but later parted ways with Professor X due to a disagreement with her philosophy, following Magneto, another leader of the mutants. The Shapeling herself is jealous and hateful, and even hates experimenting with mutants, and now that she's here, I'm afraid it's also going to trouble Colonel Stryker.
As Bucky expected, Revan said bluntly, "My goal is the same as yours, I heard that Stryker's bastard has a base here, so I'll come and investigate." But you seem to have already investigated, and asked Charles to find the next stronghold, is this place already empty? ”
Bucky didn't hide it, and told Raven about the results of his expedition to Lake Ekari and the battle with Victor, and invited Raven to get Stryker's location from Professor X and go to him for trouble.
Naturally, Raven would not object to Bucky's proposal. In her opinion, although the person in front of her has a relationship with Professor X, it doesn't seem to be very close, and he belongs to a mutant who can win over the Brotherhood.
However, when Revane offered Bucky to join the Brotherhood, Bucky refused without hesitation.
First of all, Bucky is not a mutant, but because of his call with Professor X, Raven has a misunderstanding. Secondly, for the Mutant Brotherhood, Bucky is indeed a little disdainful, not to mention the good and bad members, as the leader of Magneto, Eric Lanshel, is even more of a paranoid madman in Bucky's eyes.
Magneto's goal is to find a living space for mutants, and even to replace ordinary humans and enslave ordinary humans, this idea Bucky can understand, after all, everyone has ambitions, and everyone wants their lives to be better. But Magneto can't see the reality at all, and when his own strength and power are not strong enough, he always hopes to finish his work in one battle, and only knows how to use the most violent means to achieve his goal, listing all ordinary humans as enemies, and standing on the opposite side of the vast majority of people, this stupid behavior can only make the Brotherhood become the mortal enemy of mankind and provoke countless hatreds to mutants.
Raven gave Bucky a deep look, but didn't say anything. Rui Wen confessed that it was a very reckless move to invite Bucky to join the mutant brotherhood at the first meeting, although Bucky refuses now, but he may not refuse in the future as he does today, all he has to do is to have a good relationship with Bucky.
More than an hour later, Bucky finally receives a call from Professor X.
"Barnes, I think I've found where you said, and Stryker did find a very secret hiding place." Professor X's voice was a little tired, and it seemed that even with the help of the brainwave enhancement machine, searching for mutants throughout North America had taken a lot of his mind.
"Stryker is in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where there's a three-mile island with a nuclear power plant. There was once the worst nuclear leak in U.S. history, and few people would pay attention to that place. ”
Professor X told Bucky about Stryker's stronghold, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Barnes, it should be my responsibility to rescue those captured mutants, but I can't take the initiative to attack the military colonel, it will be devastating to the Academy. So, I ask you to do your best to get them out, and I'll prepare an evacuation route for you. ”
Professor X's request Bucky naturally would not refuse, he was originally there to save people, not to mention that rescuing these mutants can allow him to establish a certain reputation in the mutant community, which is also very beneficial to his future development.
Hanging up Professor X's phone, Bucky said to Raven, "Miss Raven, we're going to Pennsylvania now, I don't know if you need me to book you a plane ticket, first class, free of charge!" ”
Raven smiled lightly and said, "Maybe you don't need to book a ticket, I can provide you with a cockpit seat." ”
――――――――――――――――――
When I got up this morning, I found that my right eye had become a writing wheel eye, and I ran to the hospital to check it out in excitement to see when I could open the kaleidoscope, but unfortunately the doctor told me that it was iris cyclitis, and prescribed me a lot of eye drops, and asked me to avoid eye fatigue.
There may be fewer updates in the past two days, so I hope you understand. Let's start with 2,000 words, and there should be a 2,000-word chapter later.
