Chapter 20: Luncheon at the White House

Facing the faint golden sun, the reconnaissance plane flew towards Washington, and in the cabin, most people were still immersed in grief, but some people were born different.

It was as if Leus had really grown overnight, his gaze out the window clear and unwavering, and there was a thrilling power in his calm.

From time to time, he would look down at the girl who was still lying in his arms, her eyes still closed and her face pale, except that not long ago, a student with healing abilities had healed the wound in her abdomen.

"Complete the main quest 4 - 'Save Professor X', you gain 100 points, faction opinion +100, and number X1 F-level permission"

……

A few hours later, the reconnaissance plane slowly landed on the lawn outside the White House.

The minds of all the people within a radius of 100 meters were stopped, this was the power of Professor X, a fourth-level mutant, who possessed unparalleled psychic power.

"Lee, you stay and take care of the Phantom Cat, we'll be back soon."

The Storm Girl looked at the black-haired boy in the corner, and had no intention of meeting his dark eyes, which were calm and natural, but inexplicably made her palpitate.

"Okay." Leus nodded, watching them into the White House, knowing what was going to happen next.

They will present evidence of Stryker's crimes, which will shock the president, and at the same time, the X-Men who show their power represent mutants, making him weigh the pros and cons and gently cover up a phenomenal event that covers the whole world and destroys almost all of humanity.

It's 2006, and in October of next year, the plot of X-Men 3 begins, and Worthington Labs invents the "mutant antidote", which triggers a riot among all mutants; Jean will also be resurrected from Lake Ekari and transformed into a fiery phoenix with the power to destroy the world.

"There will be no peace between humans and mutants, mutant antidotes, sentinel plans, and the world-destroying powerhouse apocalypse, the world is not as calm as it seems, not to mention that I have to watch out for a group of competitors who don't know where to hide, but they always want my life."

Leus's hand gently caressed the sleeping girl's face, the silky touch of fine silk was incomparably beautiful, but the reality was extremely cruel.

……

Today will always become yesterday, and tomorrow will become today.

In the morning, Xavier College is bathed in sunlight and greenery, and it has a beautiful environment that is perfect for a young girl who is recuperating in the cottage at the back of the hospital.

"What do you say! He's gone? ”

The result of the inquiry was obviously not satisfactory to her, and Katie's pale face, which had not yet recovered, turned a little whiter.

Wolverine had some sympathy for her and nodded, "Yes, it's the professor's decision." ”

She was a smart girl, and she didn't ask any more, but silently returned to her room.

The room was tidy, with a large pink kitty doll at the head of the bed, but Katie didn't bother with it, instead sat on the edge of the bed and opened a long black box.

Sunlight filtered in from the window, projecting a dazzling silver light on the silver weapon in the box, which was a Chinese Miao knife with a slender blade and a handle of 167 centimeters, which was undoubtedly a very beautiful killing weapon.

The girl held it in the palm of her hand and looked at it in a daze, the bright blade of the knife reflected her brown eyes, and she gradually made up her mind from confusion and loss to firm and powerful.

……

On the balcony, Professor X was in a wheelchair, and Storm Girl was standing aside, and the two of them stood quietly in the morning light, looking at the figure that had turned into a small black dot.

"Professor."

"I know what you're trying to ask."

The Storm Maiden was stunned for a moment, not denying her curiosity: "I just learned that there are people who can convince you." ”

"Because what he said was exactly what I was thinking and worrying about...... Storm girl, if an accident happens one day, you will lead everyone on my behalf. ”

"But Scott?"

"Scott has changed, and he takes Jean's death too seriously. Yes, humans and mutants are better now, but you and I both know that things are impermanent, not to mention that the kid told me about some not-so-good future. ”

Storm Girl remembered the clear black eyes that she had looked at on the reconnaissance plane, and she asked suspiciously, "Professor, do you believe him?" ”

"As you may recall, I have a Ph.D. in psychology." Professor X smiled.

The Storm Maiden looked directly at him and said in a displeased tone, "Professor, you have something to hide from us. ”

However, Professor X just smiled calmly, shook the lever on the left arm of the wheelchair, and the wheelchair turned around and headed towards the house.

……

A few hours later, Leus, who had brought subtle changes to the lives of the X-Men, had taken the subway to the Mutant Affairs Department building.

The guards dutifully stopped him, and after Leus made his intentions clear, the other party dialed a number, and then just routinely checked, and took him to the minister's office.

"You're Leus?"

Hank McCoy, the head of mutant affairs nicknamed "The Beast", is a tall and burly man who looks like a blue-haired gorilla, but his calm and gentle temperament and gold-rimmed glasses make him still look like a scholar.

Leus was also surprised at his appearance at first sight, but he did not show it, because it was an impolite act, he stretched out his hand to shake the other man's hand, tried his best to keep his voice and attitude from being arrogant or humble, and replied, "Yes, I heard that you are an old friend of the professor, so I came to ask for help." ”

"So, can I hear your request first?" Hank invited him to sit down on a bench next to him.

"It's a bit hard to believe, and I need to start with one of my special abilities...... That's about it, hopefully you'll be able to approve. Leus poured out the manuscript that he had typed several times on the subway.

"Hmm......" Hank muttered for a moment before he raised his eyes to look directly at Leus and replied, "Yes, I believe in the professor, so I will trust you too." But before that, I think we can go and have lunch first. I'm very curious about your abilities, you should roughly guess what my job does, I've seen many mutants, but only one has the ability of yours. ”

Knowing that there was hope, Leus smiled and said, "Of course, I'd like to try the mutant special lunch, too." ”

"Haha, you'll see."

Hank laughed heartily, knowing that Leus was joking about an incident that happened not long ago, a midnight show host who was known for his spicy eloquence had mocked the mutant employees of the Mutant Affairs Department for eating specially supplied genetically modified vegetables and meat.

"Li, do you know, in fact, I have also thought about your mentions, and your arrival has made me make up my mind, but I still want to know your opinions and opinions." After dinner, it was time for dessert, and Hank got down to business.

Leus's eyelids drooped slightly, and his eyes rolled before he replied, "I know there were X-Men years ago, so for this idea to be licensed, it has to be different." My plan is that the team advertises itself as hunters of dangerous mutants, and that we can actually protect some of the good mutants, and if we want, we can train them or send them to X Academy. ”

"Little one, you seem to be very keen on power, I don't quite understand why the professor would believe you." Hank hesitated a little, as he sensed some kind of pathological obsession with power on the part of the dark-haired boy in front of him.

Are you going to start convincing? Leus was not shocked by his confidence, but only got up and looked around left and right before saying to Hank, "There are some things that we should probably go back to your office and talk about in detail." ”
