Chapter Twenty-Six: Vanessa Arlia
New York, the core of the New York metropolitan area, is currently the largest city in the United States, and is known as New York City in order to distinguish it from the state of New York.
Located in the northeastern part of the East Coast of the United States, it is the most populous city in the United States and a multi-ethnic and diverse city, with immigrants from 97 countries and territories living in this 789-square-kilometer land, with 8oo languages. When you come to the metropolis of New York, you can't tell if you're still in the United States.
All in all, New York is a metropolis in its entirety!
"New York is still the same size!"
Looking at the metropolis in front of him, Alex let out a meaningless sigh.
However, the "big" in its mouth is not the population of New York, or the fact that it accommodates nearly 100 nationalities, but the largest number of first-class heroes in this "medieval" city!
According to the Punisher, there seem to be thousands of heroes living here, and if you add the hidden deeper level villains, the number will multiply several times!!
That's a pretty striking number!!
At this moment, Alex is sitting on a speeding bus, watching the city and the cars passing by it through the glass in the left window.
After he spoke with Charles that day, most of the mutants he rescued on the ship chose to follow Charles and live with the X-Academy, which he had not yet created.
And Wolverine seems to have solved the misunderstanding with his lover "Silver Fox" Carla, and Wolverine, who is tired of fighting, chooses to live in seclusion, and Carla and her sister Diamond Girl refuse Charles's kindness.
Landing on the approaching shore, the Wolverine trio said goodbye to Alex, and left them with reluctant eyes from several mutants, and their backs became farther and farther away......
After Wolverine left, Alex also knew that Charles was going to New York.
Charles's X Academy is located in New York!
Alex also happens to live in New York in the United States, so despite having no intention of joining Charles, Alex still sailed with them to the port of New York.
After parting ways with Charles at the port, Alex hitchhikes to Queens.
"I was the only one when I left, but I didn't expect to have one more when I came back!"
Thinking of this, Alex couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and turned his head to look at the other person sitting next to him, looking at the scenery outside the car with an excited face - a golden cute Lori!
The golden ponytail was tied on both sides, and the knee-length braid hung down gently, swaying back and forth with the owner's head, and the age looked to be eleven or twelve years old, which was very gratifying.
But more importantly, she is the little girl who was saved by Alex in the alley!
Her appearance was really beyond Alex's expectations!
After Charles's storytelling, he understood why she was on Charles's ship.
It turned out that when Alex left to track the white man, she had been following Alex behind, but her degree couldn't catch up with Alex and the white man driving in front of her, that is, she relied on her natural ability to hang far behind the two. When she tracked it to the shore, she was helpless with the endless sea!
Coincidentally, Charles happened to pass through there, and after she was now a mutant and her target was an isolated island in the sea, he kindly invited the girl aboard. It is estimated that Charles's natural closeness to people played a role, and the little girl got on the boat without hesitation, and finally met Alex who was on the boat with Wolverine.
When he first met the little girl, Alex was both shocked and happy, wondering why she was here, glad that she had finally met her fellow mutants and no longer had to wander alone.
However, Alex's love affair didn't last long before it was replaced by a thick bitterness - the girl was not interested in Charles's X Academy at all, and was bent on following Alex. There are girls who insist on following themselves, of course Alex can't ask for it, but if the object is a little Lori, then thank you for not being sensitive.
He's not Lolicon!
So, Alex began to persuade her, but in vain. Then, Jean and Charles both joined the persuasion team at Alex's request, but the effect was not obvious, and the little girl recognized Alex as if she had eaten a scale, although she didn't cry or make trouble, but she said that she wanted to follow Alex.
In the end, Charles, who was kind, saw that the little girl was strong-willed, and he couldn't persuade him at all, so he had to turn around and persuade Alex to make him decide to take her.
For this little girl who is not very old, but once she makes up her mind, she will never waver, Alex has no choice but to keep her by her side.
After all, you can't let her insist on it alone, just ignore it!
"Well, let's just adopt a child."
With a long sigh again, Alex turned his gaze out the window, "Speaking of which, it's only been two or three months since I left here, and New York has already changed so much!" ”
Bordering the Atlantic Ocean, New York City consists of five boroughs: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Due to the growing population, the economy and status of New York City are becoming more and more important, and under the dual role of the US government and wealthy businessmen, New York can be said to be very fast, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as changing with each passing day.
Sitting down along the way, Alex saw a lot of buildings and public facilities that had just been built or were being built, and there were many more cars on the streets than before.
"Brother, is this New York? Is this the metropolis? ”
The little girl reached out and pulled Alex, her eyes shining with little stars, looking at him with excitement and excitement, and her other hand pointing out the window at the receding scenery.
"That's right, this is the metropolis of New York!"
Alex nodded, revealing a soft smile, "You're going to live here, Vanessa." ”
"Hmm!"
The girl who stopped Vanessa nodded, and answered with a smile on her face.
Vanessa Amelia, this is the name given to her by the girl's parents.
It is said that her parents, who were also mutants, were afraid of their power, so they secretly drugged their entire house and poured gasoline on their house. When she was about to be killed by the fire, her parents used all their strength to send her more than ten miles away, while her parents were engulfed in flames.
The little girl, who never left home and knew little about abilities, wandered around Canada, hungry until she met Alex in a small alley......
After knowing the girl's background, Alex no longer had the idea of driving her away, the girl's background was so miserable, it would be too unsympathetic to drive her away. Moreover, she was not abducted by human traffickers before, she was already lucky, if she left Alex and was sold to that mountain nest, then Alex would never forgive herself for the rest of her life!
