"Brother?"

Mason looked at the woman of unknown origin in front of him, but he was definitely very powerful, he was ready to fight with the other party, and silently recited the black strange name in his heart, ready to summon the big guy to enter at any time.

But the other party's name directly burned Mason's CPU.

He hadn't imagined that things would unfold like this in any way, but for the captain with a good brain, it would be a matter of minutes to sort out the cause and effect in the chaos.

He looked around at the people who had been forcibly "frozen", and then at the phantom of the orange fire that surrounded the woman in red behind him.

He was silent for a few seconds and said:

"Are you the 'Red Queen' Madeleine? Are you from your hometown too? ”

"Why?"

The Red Queen flicked her long orange curls, and said to Mason in a very charming manner:

"I'm not just from there, I still remember the scene when I first opened my eyes in the bio tank and saw you beside me, skinny, small, cute and pathetic, with every breath to give it its all.

At that time, I had to face an unknown and crazy fate just like I did at that time.

I was terrified.

But every time I see you with me, I feel like I'm not alone.

We were born and formed together, Mason, you were 'born' five minutes before me, and while unfortunately not twins, I always felt that there was some kind of mysterious connection between us.

Like the night the base was caught up in chaos.

I was also held in her arms when Aunt Phantom Cat fled with us in a hurry, how I wished she could put us in the same place at that time,

Unfortunately, fate is not forgiving us.

I thought I would never find you, but it turns out that we still have to keep faith in a terrible life, and it will surprise those who are looking forward to it. ”

"So, did you grow up in another world like me? Maybe we can replace an unnecessary battle with a warm gesture of sharing each other's upbringing?

I'm curious, do you also have a gangster adoptive father who likes to be violent to you? ”

Mason jumped out of the cockpit.

He acted very uncomfortable holding the penguin umbrella as a crutch, and being temporarily deprived of the X-gene made him feel like he had lost something familiar.

Madeleine noticed Mason's paleness, and she flicked her fingers forward with a worried expression.

A bright flame burst through her slender fingertips and dissipated into points of light around Mason, and the leech jammer's effect on the X gene was quickly stripped away.

In the blink of an eye, Mason's abilities returned to his body.

He shifted his shoulders and glanced up at the self-proclaimed "sister" in front of him, who seemed simple at first, but whose casual gesture proved to be more dangerous than Scarlet Witch or Franklin.

This gave Mason a deeper understanding of the power of the Red Queen at this moment, this guy is definitely a "super omega" level life.

As for the layer of flame phantoms that always surround her body and form wings behind her from time to time, it should be the famous and omnipotent "Phoenix Power".

Mason had seen the Phoenix Five when he was in Utopia, and it was the highest level of Utopia's combat power, but he just didn't expect to see another Phoenix power here.

This is an absolute rival.

Miss Madeleine shook her head at his inquiry.

She didn't care that she was in enemy territory, she didn't care what Mason really thought at this time, and she didn't care about her minions who had been knocked down and temporarily stripped of their power.

Like a gentle girl who really came from afar to be at home with a loved one she hadn't seen for a long time, she said:

"I'm much luckier than you, Aunt Phantom Cat sent me to a peaceful world, which should be a garden world according to our current system.

There weren't too many supernatural powers, and the world's biggest trouble was energy and the clash of civilizations, where I grew up happily until I was nine years old, and under the care of my loving parents, I thought the images of my infancy were just fantasies that didn't exist.

I thought that all I had was a nonsensical dream I had unconsciously.

I didn't like everything in the dreams, the cold bio jars, the smelly liquids, and the people walking around in researchers' uniforms.

I resist remembering all of that, but the memory of you remains.

I stubbornly thought that I had a brother who was separated from me in an accident, and that it would be nice if life could go on like that.

Sadly, on the day I received my first love letter, the shock came.

Without warning.

So, the dream was shattered. ”

She said it softly and briefly.

But Mason seemed to be able to fully imagine how dazed and frightened Madeleine was at that time, and he sighed, his heart softened, and he walked forward under the vigilant but indifferent gaze of the young Magneto, who wore the exact same helmet as him, beside the Red Queen, and finally stopped three meters away.

Then Mason blinked.

He heard Emma's laughter in a trance, and immediately realized that his mind was disturbed.

The sudden tenderness and damn sense of trust just now were obviously abnormal, and the white queen didn't know when the hint of the heart left in her heart was stimulated, making him sober up all of a sudden.

This short encounter proves two things.

First, Magneto's helmet is ineffective against the host of the phoenix's power in front of him and the clone that has inherited Jean Grey's psychic powers.

Second, this guy who calls herself "sister" is really not good, and she is not treating Mason the way she treats her relatives at all, which makes the captain regret it.

In fact, occasionally he will be a little naïve, to imagine that it would be good if there was a guy among his brothers and sisters who had a heart to heart with him, but unfortunately this impossible illusion was punctured just now.

Mason quietly pushed the hat on his forehead and said:

"That must be a bad feeling, right? I guess your abilities were awakened at that time? The sudden awakening of mutants always requires stress. ”

"Well, when I saw the illusion of another world reflected in the sky, I knew that everything I had forgotten was real, and I had to embrace my true self.

The process is really indescribable, and it is unbearable to remember. ”

The Red Queen touched her forehead, revealing a hint of exclamation in her delicate countenance, and she whispered:

"I've tried to save the way you've done now, but sadly it's not a nightmare that a mutant who has just awakened his abilities can stop when confronted with a shock event.

I did my best.

I worked really hard.

But I only saved the town, and then I could only see my world fall apart in desperation, and when I couldn't hold on, they found me. ”

"Them?"

Mason captured an important message and asked:

"Conqueror? Hope Council? ”

"No, it's neither."

Madeleine looked up, showed a strange smile, and said:

"It's utopia. I'm guessing Professor Supreme didn't tell you about it, and no one else knew anything about my involvement in Utopia. It's normal, after all, I erased everyone's memories when I left them.

Maybe some people remember me.

But they won't just uncover the scars that once nearly ruined utopia.

But I have to tell you, my brother.

Utopia is not a very good collaborator, and its racist stupidity is unpleasant, but what lies beneath the surface is even more disgusting.

I stayed there for a year and then left with the power they 'gave'.

I joined the Conquerors.

Or rather, the conquerors have found me.

That's not a bad thing.

I found my true 'family' and returned to this home that belonged to me, and I thought everything would go well, but after hearing the story about you, I realized that a home without you is not complete.

This is not only due to my personal feelings, but also to a more important core. ”

The Red Queen stepped forward and reached out to take Mason's hand.

She looked at Mason, who was two heads taller than her, and said sincerely:

"Come back, brother, and come back to our home, and take up the duties of your birth, and lead our fellow citizens with me. I'll help you with everything you want to do, and my family will help you.

They are terrified, and they can't come up with a solution in the face of a shocking desperate situation, but I know you have a solution.

You have proven yourself capable and wise, and your leadership is exactly what we lack, and we are trying to get out of the rotten and deplorable Council.

We need a leader.

And you, you will be our Saimia. ”

Faced with this invitation, and facing the red queen's sincere eyes that sparkled with stars, Mason seemed to be really persuaded that he couldn't make a decision.

He didn't believe the Red Queen's strong feelings at all, though he could feel in his heart the strange feelings that the lady in front of him had told him.

A voice was telling him it was all true.

However, what normal person would suddenly have a guiding voice in their head?

Hey, it's just an advanced use of psychic illusions.

Alas, in this world full of hypocrisy, sincerity is the absolute nirvana, but unfortunately, the red queen in front of her seems to be too confident in her own strength.

Or rather, she didn't think Mason was capable of resisting her recruitment.

The captain was silent for a moment, he pointed to his teammates behind him, and looked at Madeleine very seriously.

He asked:

"Well, in your plans, in the future you want to get, these people. Where is the place of these people who do not belong to the category of compatriots? ”

"It depends on your ideas and the will of your fellow citizens."

The Red Queen replied very calmly:

"Personally, they're not a necessity to make up the future, but if you have to include them in your plans, then I wouldn't object.

So, what about your answer? ”

"I think you're dangerous."

Mason looked Madeleine in the eye and said:

"I don't know you as a person, and I don't have a lot of information to support my own judgment, but if I had to respond instinctively, I'd turn you down.

Although when I heard you call me 'brother', I did have a throbbing in my heart that I couldn't be fake.

If it weren't for the illusion you've created with your psychic powers, I might have really considered your opinion, you don't want Mason Cooper, you want just a slave or, as you put it, a 'family member'.

But sorry.

I've found my home.

It's 10,000 times better than the ones you described! ”

"Huh?"

The Red Queen blinked her beautiful eyes and said in surprise:

"Why do you think that? I feel like I've been stealthy enough. ”

"Because I don't trust a stranger so easily, and right now my heart is calling for me to hug you, and because I have a mother who seems very unreliable, but is too reliable at a critical moment."

Mason shook off Madeleine's warm hands, took a step back, and said:

"This is not what a sister should do to her brother, sorry, Madeleine, you have completely lost my trust."

"That's a lot of weight, but it's not what an older brother should do to his sister by talking to stall for a powerful ally to come to the rescue, right?"

The reflection of the flame floated in the eyes of the Red Queen, and she said:

"You've lost my trust too! The first good things I have reserved for you have died in these few minutes, Mason, and perhaps I have over-glorified the memories of my infancy.

But do you really believe that relying on this group of righteous lords can deal with me? ”

In the night sky above the two of them, a glow was emerging.

It was the fire that the rushing Lord Superman was pulling out at an accelerating pace, and the Red Queen's Magneto lieutenant had risen into the sky, and the magnetic field around him instantly distorted into a thick matrix under his call, shaping an obstructive entity beyond the range.

And Mason himself was entangled by the power of the burning phoenix, forcibly pulling in front of Madeleine, like countless energy tentacles tearing at his body.

Faced with the Red Queen's questioning, Mason shrugged his shoulders and said:

"I never thought of relying on the Righteous Lord to solve you, my 'sister', this is our family conflict, or don't let outsiders interfere.

It was a surprise to meet you today, so I decided to surprise you again.

Although it's not meant for you. ”

This is not like what a guy who is about to be burned to death by the power of the phoenix should say, and Madeleine also dissipated in an instant and disappeared into flames, intending to avoid the "surprise" that Mason was about to come up with.

Unfortunately, even with the power of the phoenix, it is difficult to fight against time without preparation.

Green fluorescent flickered and burst from Mason's fingertips, and the power of the Time Stone caused the scene centered on Mason to rewind quickly, like a reversal of the timeline, so that Madeleine, who had already flown into the sky, was forced to go back to the flames in her round eyes.

The next moment, she was back to the situation she had just faced, and then the cold muzzle of the gun pressed against her delicate forehead.

"Bang"

Mason simulated the sound of a shot with his mouth.

The bullets that flew out of the chamber also opened Madeleine's beautiful skull at the same moment.

There was still consternation in her big eyes, and her whole body fell back in a burst of blood, leaving Mason alone to coldly withdraw his pistol.

"It's a pity, if only it were that simple"

The Captain sighed and extended the power of the Time Stone backwards to protect his companions who had been "frozen" by Madeleine and the enemies who had been knocked down.

The Red Queen's power did not dissipate from them, which proves that Madeleine has not been carried away by this bullet.

He flicked the Time Stone in his hand to levitate it in the air, locking the flow of time in the nearby area, so that Madeleine could no longer use the power of the phoenix to change the timeline in the rest of the battle.

In this way, the scales of this unfair battle are trying to balance a little.

"It hurts, bastard! Although this is not the first time I have been shot"

The flames of the prairie illuminated Mason's eyes, and Madeleine's body was burned and restored by the sudden spread of the flaming wings behind her.

But the gentle disguise on that pretty face had become stern with the activation of the phoenix's power, reminding Mason of the "I'm going to teach him a lesson" look on his adoptive father's face when he rolled up his sleeves when he was drunk when he was a child.

He could clearly feel that his presence was being "ignited", as if a match had fallen underneath a painting.

"Stephen, I know you won't let me bother you with little things, but now I'm in trouble."

Mason called Strange's name.

Black Strange is also very reliable, and he is about to come here to save his little henchman.

But the Red Queen sensed that the destructive power was approaching, and simply swung out the fire to seal the time and space, and used most of the phoenix power in her body to resist the Black Strange.

Although only a small part of the strength remains, it is used to storm Mason to draw a sentence for this unhappy "brother and sister reunion".

Tsk, that's enough.

Ps: After finishing the work, I am very grateful to my editor Loach~ In this difficult time, I am very grateful to the greatest warmth that a writer can get, and I am also very grateful to the brothers and sisters who have accompanied this book all the way to the present and never left it.

I say from the bottom of my heart, I love you!
