Chapter 22: Professor X's Visit
Feeling the loud noise in the distance, Professor X, who was already preparing to sleep, had to fight his spirits.
"Professor, are you asleep?" A woman's voice came from the doorway.
"Come in, Oloro." The professor struggled to prop up his upper body and replied to the woman outside the door.
"I'm sorry, Professor. I'm still bothering you so late. Oloro pushed the door open, a rare look of panic on her face.
"It's fine." Charles smiled kindly.
"I don't know why, but for a moment I felt like I had completely lost some of my abilities." Oloro's hands were still shaking, and she couldn't explain the sensation, as if someone had cut her body open and taken something away from her body in the same way that someone had cut butter with a heated butter knife.
Charles didn't say anything, he already knew everything when Oloro came just now. In the same way, he saw a man in the place where the loud noise came, the famous philanthropist Wilson Fisk.
"Professor?" Oloro looked at Charles, who didn't reply, and asked softly.
"Oloro, tomorrow is a day off." Charles spat out an inexplicable sentence and asked about tomorrow's day.
"Yes, Professor."
"Then you and Scott will go somewhere with me tomorrow." Charles said with a smile.
"Okay." Oloro could only suppress the doubts and fears in her heart and quit Charles's bedroom.
Charles, on the other hand, looked out the window and couldn't calm down for a long time.
The night is bright, and it is another bright weather.
Diana, who was cooing in her arms, was lying on the roof of her house enjoying the intoxicating sunshine.
Coo, who was hugged by Diana, squinted her eyes and enjoyed Diana's warm embrace, moving her body from time to time to find the most comfortable position.
A person and a cat stayed quietly like this, like Qiao Ye Seurat full of a sense of harmony and ease.
Until it was broken by a short doorbell.
"Okay, Goo. It looks like we're in for guests. Diana held up the coo and pressed it against the door of its little head.
Charles was not ready to ring the doorbell after signaling Scott to ring the doorbell.
But Captain was a little anxious, and was about to ring the doorbell again when the door was opened.
What Charles and the others saw was a beautiful woman in a white loose loungewear.
Her long black hair curls like waves, accentuated her elegance with a hint of laziness. Even a loose lounge dress can't hide the perfect and athletic figure.
"What's the matter?" Diana leaned against the doorway and asked, "To be honest, I don't think I've ever seen you." ”
"Hello, Miss Diana Prince, I'm Charles Francis Xavier. It's the principal of a school, and I want to talk to you about something. Charles, who was in a wheelchair, smiled kindly.
It's not that Diana doesn't know who these three are, but sometimes it's not a good thing to choose to say it.
"It's two teachers from our school, and they're here with me, after all, ......," Charles said as he saw Diana look at the other two.
"Come in!" Diana got out of the way and let Oloro push Charles into the house, "If you want to continue to bask in the sun, I don't object, but I advise you to be careful of sunburn, the July sun is still very poisonous." ”
Scott just smiled and walked inside.
Diana rolled her eyes helplessly, her beautiful holiday life was disturbed like this.
"What do you drink? Tea? Coffee? Or water? Diana asked the three Charles, and walked into the kitchen on the first floor.
"Water is fine." Charles looked at the interior of the house with interest, "Miss Prince's decoration style is very good. ”
"Thank you." After Diana handed the water to the three of them, she sat on the sofa and looked at Charles, who had a kind face at the moment, "So what is the reason why you are looking for me?" ”
"I wonder what Miss Prince thinks of mutants?" Charles asked after taking a sip of water.
"I've heard it, but I haven't seen it." Diana looked directly into Charles' eyes.
"Me and Oloro are one of the mutants." Charles Yiri is that kind smile.
"So what's the matter with coming to me?" Diana frowned, a little confused about what the guy in front of her was looking for.
Charles put down the glass of water in his hand, sat upright and said to Diana, "We have found that Miss Prince may be one of us, so I sincerely invite Miss Prince to join Xavier College." ”
"Professor?" Oloro was a little shocked by Charles's behavior, after all, the current Charles basically does not come out to recruit newcomers in person.
Diana straightened up a few naughty strands of hair and didn't say anything.
"Trust me, Diana, we're family you can trust." Charles's gaze was fixed on Diana as he activated his abilities to enter Diana's spiritual world.
Different from the spiritual world of ordinary people, Diana's spiritual world is like a divine domain hanging above the universe, huge and orderly. Endless star fields surrounded her, exuding a pounding divine radiance from top to bottom.
"Enough of it!" Voices came from all directions into Charles's spirit body, "Get out when you've seen enough!" ”
In reality, Charles had two lines of nosebleeds, and he looked at the other person with a flush.
Scott and Oloro, who were on the side, prepared for battle after seeing that their professor was wounded.
"You're not a mutant." Charles didn't care if he was injured or not, nor did he care about the urgency of the two people around him, but just whispered to Diana.
Diana looked at the three nervous guys in front of her with interest: "Are you only caring about your own one-third of an acre, there are more than mutants in this world." ”
"It's me who is abrupt." Charles shook his head with a wry smile.
"I wonder why I can't use Thunder again now?" Oloro finally couldn't help it, after all, when she came, the professor said that she could get a solution here that she couldn't regain the thunder.
"Use?" Diana looked at the Storm Girl with an anxious face at the moment.
Stormgirl just stared at Diana, her gaze unflinching.
"I have to say that because of the mutation in the genetic level, you will gain extremely powerful power, but you haven't thought about why?" Diana's right hand tapped on the armrest of the couch.
"What do you mean?"
"It means that because of the sudden mutation of your genes, you are able to communicate and use some of the forces in the universe." Diana raised her right hand, and lightning jumped between her fingers, "You are not even human. ”
The electric light in Diana's hand made the three of them even more nervous, but hearing her say that they were not human, Scott couldn't sit still at first.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Diana just glanced at Scott coldly, "You don't really think you're human-evolved, do you?" Even the American soldier who used the genetic medicine was just jumping higher, running faster, and with more strength. Even the Fisk guy that Charles spies on is nothing more than that. ”
"Why are you able to manipulate forces that are clearly not human?"
Scott gritted his teeth but couldn't speak.
"So I didn't strip you of your abilities." Diana looked at Ororo, "It's that your genes can't use thunder anymore." ”
Charles took a deep breath and eased his mind, he didn't think about the origin or origin of mutants. But there is always no way to see yourself out of the human lens.
"So, Miss Prince." Charles, who had originally lowered his head in thought, raised his head and looked directly at the woman with a spirit like a god, "Are you human?" ”
Diana just smiled, walked to the door, and pulled it open.
"Slow down, Mr. Xavier."
