Chapter XVII: Charles's Visit
It's another early morning.
Alec had a rare sleep, and spent half a month in the Island City Prison, which made the devil accustomed to a luxurious life very uncomfortable. The first thing he did after he was "released from prison" was to call Jessica over and spend a crazy night with him.
"Alec, when the hell will the Holy Soul be given to me?!"
Nicole still thinks about her holy spirit.
Alec strictly forbids her to hunt in the Marvel world, so she waits for someone to summon her every day, and then uses the contract to go to other worlds.
There was a knock on the door.
Nicole yawned and lazily ran to open the door.
A shiny bald head appeared in front of her.
Nicole's little face immediately froze.
There are very few people in the Marvel world who can make her feel jealous, and there happens to be one in front of her. As a master of spiritual spells, Nicole keenly recognized that the bald man in a wheelchair in front of her was the person who searched for her half a month ago...... Even though Charles didn't make any movements, terrifying spiritual energy still emanated from her body, which gave her great pressure.
"Charles Xavier?"
Charles smiled and nodded, "Yes, it seems that you know me?" ”
Nicole took two steps back vigilantly, and two flames exploded in her hands, but before she could make a move, she was grabbed by Alec.
"Nicole, you come in and stay......"
"Logan, long time no see, aren't you going to introduce me to your new companion?"
Logan was a little embarrassed, but still stepped forward and introduced: "Alec, this is Professor Charles, the leader of the mutants...... After I separated from you, I went to stay with him for a while. ”
Charles's eyes were always on Nicole.
As a master of mental power, many times you don't need to use your eyes to see things...... For example, now, although Charles and Nicole have never met, after the mental confrontation half a month ago, the two recognized each other at the first time.
Unlike Nicole's hostility, Charles' eyes were full of joy.
Nicole is completely different from Jean Gray, her mental power is far less powerful than Jean, but on the contrary, she does not have Jean's dual personality. is also a person with mental abilities, Charles has a strange closeness to Nicole, coupled with the influence of the high charm of the succubus, he faintly sees the future of mutants in Nicole.
"Boy, come here!"
Charles couldn't get into Nicole's brain, which forced him to communicate verbally.
Nicole glanced at the bald head in front of her, hid behind Alec, and then secretly took off the ring and kept it on her hand. The eyeballs on the ring moved, and there seemed to be signs of opening.
Charles turned his gaze to Alec and asked, "What's the name of this little guy?" ”
"Her name is Nicole O'Moles."
"Nicole, what a name...... I didn't hurt this little guy last time, did I? ”
"Of course ......not," Alec replied with a smile, but what he didn't expect was that Nicole jumped out at this time and dismantled his stage: "Of course I was hurt, if Alec hadn't helped me, I would have almost been killed by you last time, bastard!" ”
The smile on Alec's face stiffened slightly.
Charles smiled awkwardly and said gently, "I'm sorry, Nicole." ”
……
While Nicole was talking to Charles, Alec pulled Logan aside and asked, "Logan, why are you here?" ”
"To help Charles stay alive......"
Alec was a little surprised: "Continuation of life? Is this what Charles meant? ”
"No, that's what I meant." "Charles is old, but the conflict between mutants and humans has not subsided, but has become more and more intense...... Charles needs time, and the only one who can give him time is you. ”
Alec was silent for a moment before saying, "Logan, I don't want to meddle in the mutant business...... It's embarrassing for me that you're doing that. ”
"I know."
"But it doesn't change who you are." Logan looked at Nicole, "It won't change her identity, you are different from ordinary people after all." Alec, Charles is a nice guy, he really wants to help us. ”
Alec's face was unhappy: "There are many good people in this world. ”
"But not many people are willing to help us," Logan said. ”
"You think I need help?" A hint of sarcasm flashed across Alec's face, "As long as I want, there are countless people in this world crying and begging to help me, and I can get 15 million dollars in five years, what about ten years?" What about twenty years? Logan, I never needed help, don't measure me by your standards, you stayed with me for a month, you know what I can do. ”
Logan smelled a hint of danger, he grabbed Alec and said seriously, "Alec, we are here with good intentions. ”
"Goodwill? Thanks to you, all mutants have their eyes on us right now. I guess the old Magneto guy must be thinking by now, strange, what are these two guys capable of deserving of Charles's personal visit......"
The argument between the two finally alarmed Charles, and he turned around and said in a sincere tone: "Mr. Gage, I think you have some misunderstanding about Logan, he treats you as a friend, if it is not a last resort, he will not leave without even saying hello." The situation was urgent, Magneto was persecuting our compatriots, and we did not have time to inform you and seek your consent......"
"In my opinion, you didn't even think to inform me, did you?"
Charles was silent.
After a few moments, he spoke, "Mr. Gage, I want you to give Logan a chance. Mr. Gage probably doesn't know yet, right? I set up an academy with the intention of helping people like us......"
"I'm not going." Alec's tone was cold, "No, not only won't I go, but Nicole won't either." ”
Charles's face became a little ugly.
"It's not safe for you to stay here."
"Of course it's not safe, thanks to you, now that everyone thinks I'm a mutant with Nicole, how can we be safe?"
Charles smiled wryly.
Logan thought Alec's attitude was strange.
Charles's attitude was already very low, and Alec's hostility shouldn't have been so strong...... As for Nicole, he instinctively sensed that the little girl had no possibility of communication.
He asked tentatively, "What are your conditions?" ”
A smile finally appeared on Alec's face, Logan, the gorilla, was loyal to the enlightenment, it was not easy.
"Of course there are conditions!"
"First, Charles can't use his abilities on me and Nicole, and he can't restrict our freedom under any pretext. Second, Nicole and I won't join the X-Men, and we have the right to refuse to participate in the internal fighting of mutants......"
Logan rolled his eyes, and Alec scolded for a long time, and really wanted to negotiate conditions.
Without thinking, Charles replied, "Yes, I promise you!" ”
"Are you sure?"
"Of course it's sure!"
Alec skillfully took out a contract from behind his buttocks, slapped it on the table with a "snap", and said, "In that case, then sign the contract!" Charles, I would like to remind you that signing a contract is a very serious matter, and once it is signed, it cannot be changed. If you break it in the future, the repercussions of the contract will most likely kill you......"
