Chapter 183: Another Identity
To the mutants, the one in the robes - the Ancient One - was clearly here to find fault. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] They have already said that "your entire race will become a threat to all mankind", and it is not surprising that they have developed into mortal enemies.
And just when such a mortal enemy came to attack, there happened to be another mutant nearby, saving his own people? You know, this is the CIA's research base, and it's the inside of the base. Ordinary people can't find it, let alone come in!
There is another factor to consider. They were preparing to go to war with Sebastian Shaw's gang of mutants, when a mutant who had not been in contact with him suddenly came to him?
Charles is still optimistic about this, as long as Grant can give a reasonable explanation. But Eric is different. Magneto, who has had a rough life since childhood, has always had deep suspicions about the outside world. As soon as he saw Grant, he wondered if Sebastian Shaw had sent someone to make trouble.
The other side sent someone over to break up their team? It's possible!
Eric's strong hostility and Charles's lack of support and non-intervention made the Shapeshifts overwhelmed for a while. However, they didn't leave Grant's side. This moved Grant a little.
He gently pushed the Shapeshifter away and stepped out. After glancing at Professor X and Magneto, he smiled and spoke.
"Have you ever gone to find a guy with a big body and a weird haircut? Similarly, well, both sides flew out diagonally, and the middle comb was flat. It was supposed to be in a bar. β
"There seems to be such a thing."
With a look of confusion, Charles and Eric looked at each other and said. The latter nodded.
Everyone didn't know why Grant was holding back a smile at this time. The demon girl asked directly: "What's wrong?" What funny thing do you seem to be about to say? β
Grant finally stifled his smile. After coughing, he looked at Charles and Eric again.
"He only said one thing to you at the time, do you remember what it was?" At this, Grant paused, taking in everyone's expressions, "He said, 'go_fxck_yourselves (.'" This sentence becomes 'fxck_off')' in "Reversing the Future". Remember? β
For a moment, the audience was silent, and then with the demon girl taking the lead, the young people all burst into laughter. They never knew that the two of them, who looked like big brothers, would have such a mess!
"Haha......"
Under the background of laughter, the embarrassment on the faces of Professor X and Magneto added to the comedic atmosphere of the scene.
Wait until the laughter is almost over. Grant spoke again: "Well, I'm his friend. He's a bit withdrawn and doesn't like to be around people. But he was also a warm-hearted person. He approached me afterwards and asked me to come over and see if I needed help. I happened to be idle. Just come and have a look. It turned out that the person just flew over. At first I thought he was one of you, but I didn't expect him to come to kill you......"
"That's not right! There is a loophole in what you say! Eric suddenly snapped out, startling the others, "If you're right." We just said something to ourselves, and he couldn't have known who we were. It's impossible to know where we are, let alone you. You're lying! β
Faced with the young Magneto's accusations, Grant shrugged his shoulders.
"Do you know what his power is? The ultra-fast self-healing made it impossible for him to die even if he was inserted into the heart. At the same time, his abilities allowed him to live longer than everyone else. At this point, the person on the other side didn't know what he was talking about, but the next moment Grant gave the answer, "You two have been followed for dozens of miles by a veteran of several major wars, including World War I and World War II!" β
Now Charles and Eric are not only embarrassed, but also feel super faceless. Especially Eric, who has always played the role of blackface in front of the young people......
"Well, we believe you." Charles hurried out to play the round. "I'm sorry for our suspicions. However, we are in a dangerous time, and caution is essential. Thank you for your understanding. β
Grant nodded, "I understand. β
"So, can you join us?" Young Professor X solemnly extended an invitation, "Fight for our kind, and for the future of all mankind!" β
"Fighting for all of humanity is too ambitious, too illusory, not my style."
Grant shook his head, letting the other party's disappointment overflow. Then, the twist came: "I'd love to be with my kind, though." β
βyesοΌβ
Several young people immediately became excited. Compared with. Charles, though not so obvious, could tell that he was very happy. As for Eric, he is no longer hostile, and even a little milder than usual. It was probably Grant's phrase "stay with your own kind" that made him very different.
Charles then said to Eric to everyone, including Grant, "Stay here." They're going to follow the CIA on a long journey. It's a pity that their words didn't make much of a difference, because the young people didn't listen much. They were all indulging in the excitement of their new companions joining, and Raven the Shapeshifter was already proposing to give Grant a proper nickname.
Instead, Grant listened carefully to what the two big brothers said, and responded. This made the two of them have a little more impression of him. Considering his combat strength, Charles and Eric also went out of their way to find him out and talk to him a few times. Let him take care of other people and don't cause anything, if there is a conflict with the CIA, then grieve first, and protect everyone when the Dharma Body is in danger. Wait a minute. For these, Grant made promises one by one. This made young Professor X and young Magneto quite satisfied.
And when Grant returned to the hall where the young men were, his nickname was already freshly released.
"What about 'insulators'?" The Shadow Girl said with a smug expression, "We discussed it for a long time, and finally I came up with this nickname!" β
"Insulators? Why insulators? β
Grant asked curiously. Then Hank, the scientist and the hidden admirer of the Shapeshifter, spoke.
"We've summarized the characteristics of your abilities, such as neutralization, invincibility, fearlessness, etc., which are not suitable for nicknames. And then we thought of something a little more abstract, like 'the mountain' -- that means that nothing can shake you; Again, 'I refuse,' it's a joke. In the end, Raven's 'insulator' I think is the best. Isn't your ability to make it impossible for all energy to touch your body, insulators are pretty much that. β
As a result, Grant has another identity after "The Great Magician" and "Dark Shadow Warrior" - a mutant nicknamed "Insulator". (To be continued.) )xh118
