Dispelling the biggest cloud on his mind, Eric leaves the academy and now wants to make contact with Jimmy.

Although Hank is based on Capitol Hill, his girlfriend Yuriko who stayed in the studio, Eric, gets the address of Mariano's house, searches all the way, and finds his home in a dilapidated neighborhood in the northern suburbs of New York, only to open the door to Fat Nick.

"Hello, Eric." Nick looked at the startled visitor and guessed what he was thinking, and laughed.

"I didn't expect that." Nick. Reines gave way and invited guests in. "Mariano is my wife's brother, so I'm here a lot, but I guess you're not here for him - for Jimmy, are you?"

The surprise passed quickly, and Eric nodded, "That's right, we met last time in the square. ”

"I haven't thanked you for saving my son, thank you Eric." Nick gratefully hugs Eric, who nearly lost his life for his son that day.

Son?

What Eric was about to say suddenly stopped, he looked at Nick again, and then asked, "Jimmy is your son?" ”

"Of course." Nick looked proud. "We're alike, aren't we?"

Eric looked at Nick, but he couldn't see how the handsome boy resembled him, so he perfunctory and got straight to the point.

"I'm in the square where Jimmy's abilities have awakened, so I'm going to come and see him, and by the way, ask him if he'd like to join the academy."

That's the good news.

Nick is having a headache because his son Jimmy is a precocious boy, and his mutant son, who has always been sensitive and autistic, has awakened his abilities and has been refusing to go out in the last few days, not even going to school. In his opinion, this is obviously because his son has become more alienated from the general population after the mutation, and now he has the opportunity to join Xavier Academy, of course, he can't ask for it.

He immediately said that he was very happy, but he still had to discuss with his son what to do.

The good father called out Jimmy, and then asked his son to talk to Eric face-to-face.

After his father leaves, Jimmy beckons Eric to sit down like an adult and pours him a drink.

"Are you here to kill me, Mr. Eric?" Jimmy asked quietly as he poured his coffee.

"Thanks, the coffee is fragrant." Eric sniffed the warm, mellow scent of the glass. Then he asked. "Why do you ask?"

"I know that my abilities can disarm the power of mutants, and I've tried it on Dad and Mariano. You haven't looked back since you saved me that day, and I'm guessing you'll think I'm a threat, but now that you're coming, I'm even more convinced of that. ”

"The senses are sharp." Eric complimented him lightly. "Two hours ago I was thinking about whether or not to do this, and now I want you to join the Academy."

"Why?" Jimmy froze for a moment, trying to take the cup back. "Why not do that? My uncle is a mutant, and so is my dad, and I don't want to hurt them. ”

"Don't be too conceited. Jimmy. Eric laughed and returned the cup to the boy. Now it's up to us to protect you, and if you don't want to cause harm to others, just do your best to grow up. ”

said. He sent the metal objects next to him fly in the air one by one, floating in front of the boy's eyes, and Jimmy looked at Eric, who was a foot away from him, and his eyes suddenly burned with hope.

***

When Eric convinces Jimmy. A funeral is underway in the Air Force community in West New York.

It was said to be a funeral, but it was not the deceased who was buried, and the cemetery was just the lawn of a house in the community.

This is because it is the ghost armor that was going to be buried some time ago. The former male owner of the residence, Pocky. Air Force Captain Curtis's last flying weapon he tried on during his lifetime.

Originally, the armor had arrived at the military research institute, but after repeated inspections, no reason was found, and the scientists came to the conclusion that the armor was manipulated by external forces, and there was no crazy murderous ghost, so the wreckage of this broken weapon was disposed of as scrap steel by the annoyed scientists.

The Discovery Space Company had a meeting to recover it, but the company avoided the responsibility for this incident, and there was no point in getting it back, not to mention that the wreckage was only a skeleton. So after a few tosses, it was in the hands of Mrs. Curtis, and now Shirley. Pandora. Ms. Curtis was determined to bury it in her husband's honor, and due to the refusal of the Air Force Cemetery to accept the request for a burial, and the hope of her daughter Angel, with the consent of the neighbors in the community, the ghost armor will be placed on the lawn of Curtis's house, covered with a glass cover, so that the poor mother and daughter can see it every day for peace of mind.

As it darkened, Curtis's neighbors and friends came to his yard dressed in formal attire for the pilot's second funeral, where a pastor close to him officiated at the ceremony, talking about how friendly he was during his lifetime, how active and enthusiastic he was in the community, and then relatives and friends also talked about his touching deeds and how they were nostalgic.

This qiē is all a process, only the mother and daughter present are really sad, but the people below are whispering.

"If you want me to say, that's a crazy idea." An old woman in her fifties whispered to her partner. "Pocky is obviously dead, and she has to hold another funeral for him, and she spends money to repair the machine and paint it, and Shirley really thinks that it was manipulated by her husband's undead?"

"I don't believe it anyway." The old woman's companion was much younger than her, young but with a snarky countenance. "Maybe she wants to take the opportunity to ask for a large amount of compensation from Exploration Spaceflight, otherwise why spend any more money to bury the dead, if you want me to say that spending money to hire a good lawyer is the most important thing, they are much more capable than the machine people."

"It's not impossible, Shirley is not very old, many people like to fight the idea of rich widows, in my opinion, maybe she has long wanted to remarry." Another woman chimed in, their voices getting louder until the priest hinted.

In the midst of this dreary atmosphere, a strange man walked in and quietly stood at the end of the crowd. He looked at the mother and daughter next to the pastor in distraction, resisting the urge to get there.

At the end of the priest's speech, the armor covered with the flag was placed in a one-foot-deep concrete pit, and Curtis's two comrades-in-arms folded the flag into the designated shape according to the procedure, handed it to Shirley, and then put the glass cover on it, and the ceremony ended.

As the neighbors and friends left, the light rain finally dripped down, and now it was only the strange man and the mother and daughter of the Curtiss family.

"Madame, please mourn." The man walked into the courtyard of Curtis's house. In a tone of indescribable grief, he expressed his condolences to Shirley's mother and daughter.

"Thanks, who are you?" Shirley wiped the corners of her eyes and thanked politely, she had never seen anyone before, this gentleman looked like he had just turned twenty years old, he was still a college student, could he have met his pilot husband?

"Me and ...... This gentleman has had several encounters. The man addressed the man vaguely, and then mentioned a few small things, which Shirley vaguely remembered before her husband was born. So she let her guard down and started talking to the visitor.

"Will you be able to live after he dies?" The man asked.

Shirley touched her daughter in her arms and smiled bitterly: "I don't know what to say." Our lives have been completely disrupted. ”

With so many heads, Shirley really didn't want to talk about these troubled things again, especially in front of a young man who could be said to be unacquainted.

"You can tell me about it, I really want to help you." The man's attitude is extremely sincere. His tone was almost pleading, and for some reason Shirley was moved by him and told him something about herself.

“…… When his boss knocked on the door for the second time. We were brought a check for $12,000 and a funeral fee of $6,000, including the clothes we wore for the funeral, and that was just over $10,000 after that. We don't have much savings, except for the college tuition we've been saving for Shirley, it's hard to make ends meet, and we've always relied on Pocky to support our family. Now that he's gone, I have to take care of myself and Angel, but I've never worked, and I don't know what to do now. ”

"Didn't the army help anything else, I remember us...... I mean, the soldier has 250,000 yuan of personal insurance, and by the way, there is also a tax-free allowance, why is it only so little? The man asked with a hard hold back in his heart.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand?" Shirley smiled wryly. "Only the 12,000 dollars in pension will be paid in time, and the rest will have to go through a long process to get there, and I doubt we'll be able to survive until then."

The man clenched his fists, he felt his chest about to burst, but he didn't want to disturb the woman in front of him, so he suppressed it with a few deep breaths.

"Do you have any difficulties now? I mean, maybe I have some solution. The man asked in a gentle voice as best he could, and looking at Shirley's somewhat suspicious eyes, he quickly raised his hands and explained, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to help him...... He didn't deserve such a fate! ”

Speaking of this, the man gritted his teeth and hated the person who caused the current situation, and felt his boiling anger, Shirley began to believe that he really wanted to help him, so he hesitated for a moment and said his greatest distress.

"The most important thing now is to change schools for Angel, she can't stay any longer."

"Isn't Flushing Elementary the best school it is, what's going on to get Angel out?" The man burst out.

Shirley thought that her husband had sued him about his own daughter's school before his death, so she didn't suspect it and told the reason.

"Many of the students in that elementary school come from families of local military police, and Pocky injured their parents when she came back with armor the other day, and those children have been taking their grievances out of Angel, and I am afraid that she will have an accident, so I dare not let her out of my sight these days."

The anger reached its peak, and the man calmed down, and he nodded, promising Shirley that he would find a way to help them, and although Shirley was not hopeful, he politely thanked him.

"What's your name, I'm a housewife, and I don't know much about Pocky's friends before his death." Finally, Shirley asked who was coming, and the well-behaved Angel also looked up at him.

The man hesitated for a moment and said his name.

"Lancer, Lancer. Valentine. (To be continued!)
