"It's really lively over there."
The silver-haired young man on the other side of the river said to his companion that a few roars from the neighboring manor had startled a flock of birds nesting in the shade of the trees, and frightened several squirrels out of the woods, and almost plunged headlong into the creek.
"I remember." His companion is not very old, and his face is not handsome, but it seems that he has gone through some scenes, and there is naturally a kind of calmness in his demeanor. At this time, he was habitually fiddling with a small white and gold ball in his hand, which seemed to be solid at first glance, but if you carefully distinguish it, you will find that it is an infinitely compressed flame, and the small ball contains a terrifying high temperature.
"It's normal, John, maybe it's a quid pro quo." The silver-haired young man waved his hand, and the men next to him scattered far away. "You've heard about that, Magneto has been looking for me recently, and maybe Mr. Abomination is one of them, and he'll meet us in Europe."
"You promised him, Pietro?" John and his companions walked side by side on the grass, and gradually came to the river, where the murmuring of the river drowned out some of the sounds, and it was difficult for people in the distance to hear what they were discussing.
"Not yet, it's just a matter of time." The silver-haired Pietro's figure flickered, and when he reappeared, he had caught a squirrel lying on the river's edge drinking water, this little fluffy creature was drinking happily in the river, but he didn't expect the hateful human to move so quickly. In the blink of an eye, he caught himself.
John looked at his companion's loot, and secretly admired his nickname "Quicksilver" for living up to his name, although they were all superpowers, it might not be too difficult for him to burn down a city, but it would be difficult for him to catch a clever target so easily.
However, Burning Man will not be discouraged by this, because the reverse is also true, Quicksilver cannot dominate the flames and heat like him, and everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. There is no need to be particularly envious of others.
Now he was more concerned with the covert operation, which, as far as John knew, had involved many forces, whether it was the government, the military, and secret agents, or the Brotherhood or other dark forces, targeting the new forces on that island across the Atlantic.
It's also funny to say, in the past, superpowers also faced such a dilemma, but when everyone's situation improved, they suddenly became alert to the new generation, and humans too. Mutants, alike, don't want to see a new force rise up and upset the fragile balance.
Therefore, this operation has rarely reached a consensus among the high-level of all parties, and it is probably for this reason that Magneto has only recently attacked frequently. Reach out to all parties concerned to unify their positions.
In John's judgment, it is not a big problem for this operation to overwhelm the other party, but the subsequent impact is difficult to eliminate, after all, this is a very wide-ranging incident. Spreading the word can affect reputation.
He expressed his opinion frankly, but Pietro had a different opinion.
"I'm not worried about reputation." The silver-haired young man rubbed the squirrel's small braincase while answering a friend's reminder. "It's just a matter of sending a few people to run errands. Those people don't lack strength, they look at attitude. A simple representation can distinguish who is on which side, and when the action is over, it will naturally be rewarded, so that at least it will not be left out. As for the impact, it doesn't have to be bad, I don't need a flawless reputation, that's a burden to me, enough awe to strengthen my authority. Like the boss, he is both respected and feared, and I have always thought that this strategy has given him a big advantage when dealing with others. We have each inherited his side, you can continue to live in the light, show a friendly and warm side, that is what you are good at, and I have my way. ”
"That's right, so I'm not going to interfere with you. I just want to remind our Mr. Maximov that when he needs help, don't forget to call his friend John – you know the academy is very well staffed right now, and a lot of graduates want to work for you, the tycoon. John said by patting his companion on the shoulder in a gesture of support.
Hearing the word "tycoon", Pietro couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the innocent eyes of the little thing in his hand, and suddenly raised his hand and threw it out, and after making an arc, the squirrel crossed the creek and landed steadily on the opposite bank, and then disappeared into the woods without looking back.
"I love that word." Petro turned his head to look at the place where the river met the sea, where there was nothing but the golden waves reflected in the sunlight. "But the first time I was taken out on a mission by the boss, it wasn't as easy as I thought, there were no civilians to be saved, and there was no cheering from the world, I caught a spy outside the Osborne factory and gave him a slap and threatened to kill him, and the guy was so scared that he confessed everything he knew. He's embarrassed, of course, but I'm not much better, and I didn't think I'd do that one day, and then I got used to it, and we took Harlem, and then most of Manhattan, and now it's me in New York except for Kim. ”
Pietro talked about his experience in the past year, proud of what he had achieved, but also couldn't help but sigh a little. If he knew that he would have joined the Brotherhood with his sister and didn't want to break with Magneto because of his kindness and didn't want to be the enemy of all mankind, then he would definitely feel more in his heart.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't necessarily regret it. It was already clear to Pietro that there was no contradiction between using his power to benefit himself and helping others, and that he could do better than those who hang spider silk hanging from skyscraper to skyscraper all day, because many of the problems were social problems, and some people had lived in poverty for generations, never seeing the prospect of getting a decent job, leaving the slums, or getting an education. They are surrounded by drugs and the underground, and their parents may be addicts or irresponsible. The nearby organizations seem to be their true home. It can give them a sense of belonging and pride that they can't get anywhere else.
For such people, the momentary handouts of high-flying superheroes can't change the status quo at all, but Pietro can, not only does he have a reliable team of mutants at his disposal, but Stryker, Trask, and Otto can also provide him with intellectual support, which is why it is going so well. No matter what outsiders think, he is deeply fascinated by his achievements.
John was undoubtedly well aware of his feelings, and they talked about the past and looked to the future, and gradually left the river. Get back to your own ranks.
As they walked away, an invisible thought slowly withdrew from where they had stood, and Eric, who had just subdued the Bronsky, saw the growth of the next generation through the trees.
Although some areas are not satisfactory, such as Babi, who took refuge in Scott, he did stupid things. Overall, though, it should have been a success, and the little ones were no longer chicks huddled under the Mentor's wings, they were strong enough to shelter their fellow human from the elements.
As for what they call "that thing". Eric already had some guesses, and if it was true, someone would send out an invitation soon.
Eric turned and walked off the balcony to the lab. There, Gemma and Fitz were measuring data on his booty.
Without bothering the two young geniuses who were bent on delving into the unknown, Eric quietly looked at the things stored nearby—a pool of black liquid creatures sealed in a transparent jar, a simple-looking armor with barbed barbs on the outside of his arms and waist and legs—and it wouldn't be long before he found a new owner for both of them.

In the dimly lit underground base, Dr. Servig touched the makeshift pass hanging from his chest. Wandering around aimlessly, he suddenly heard a greeting and someone called out his name.
"Dr. Servig." The voice was very unfamiliar. A little echo echoed in the hallway.
The Doctor turned around and saw a man standing in the distance, with several box-carrying crews busy behind him.
"You're behind it?" The doctor, who had been forcibly invited, calmed down and walked over to the other party.
"It's a labyrinth here, I wondered if they brought me in to kill me......" The doctor laughed at himself, gradually becoming aware that it was a one-eyed black man with a cold expression.
"I've heard about the situation in New Mexico, and you've been praised by a lot of smart guys." The black man is naturally Fury, after the incident in the small town, he listened to Coulson's report, and by the way, he paid some attention to the doctor, and when he found out that the doctor also had some research on high-energy physics, he decided to bring in Servig to study a top-secret item for S.H.I.E.L.D.
The doctor was reluctant, though.
"I still have something to do, and it's an unprecedented discovery." He emphasized his opinion, trying to convince Fury to let him go.
Fury didn't answer, and walked straight back a few steps to a box under the doctor's attention.
"There are always discrepancies between legends and history, but there is always one thing that does not contradict either from ancient times to the present day." His voice echoed as he solemnly opened the box, revealing a cube glowing blue in front of the doctor.
"What is this?" The doctor asked in amazement, seeing this strange scene, the mood of a scientist made him unable to move his steps anymore.
"Energy." Fury replied briefly. "If we figure out its mysteries, we may have an inexhaustible amount of energy."
As the doctor hesitated, an unseen figure walked up to him and leaned gently against his ear.
"It's worth digging into." The man whispered, he was covered in a mess, his fine robe was torn to tatters, his handsome face was covered with small scars, only his eyes were still sharp.
"It's worth digging into." The doctor hesitated for a moment, but finally followed his inner voice to make a decision. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
