Chapter 81: Where Did You Go?
If people who like to be lively are not disguised or social, they must have some kind of uneasy psychological factor hidden in them, and they want to seek a sense of security in the group in a crowded environment.
Emptiness and loneliness, inner loneliness, is not a lie.
Susan's seemingly joking sentence is not a hidden catharsis of dissatisfaction with her current situation.
Looking at Susan's psychological situation at this time from another angle, it is probably similar to that of a dissatisfied fish opening its mouth and begging to bite the hook.
So if you don't take the opportunity to attack, Joey will be a fisherman.
"The burden of idols is reserved for outsiders, Sue, are you an outsider?"
Joey's upper body leaned slightly, one hand holding the soft chair behind him, and the other resting on Susan's clenched cup, his aggressive gaze approaching the pair of moist eyes.
"I ......"
The atmosphere was instantly ambiguous, and Susan held her breath, her heart throbbing strongly.
The confusion in his eyes slowly faded, followed by nervousness, shyness, and a hint of incomprehensible cringe.
The first two emotions are easier to understand, they are women's normal physiological reactions to being 'wall knocks', the key point is the final cringe, Susan's concerns or identity, like a shackle tightly wrapped around the body.
Joey carefully searched for a breakthrough in Susan's slightly trembling pupils, but there didn't seem to be a good solution other than to continue waiting.
'Gollum~'
In terms of feelings, Susan is a newcomer, and she was targeted by Joey as a goose for a while.
Knock knock knock——!
Suddenly, a rough knock interrupted the ambiguity, and a man with a 'fairy aura' sitting across from them sat down drastically opposite the two.
The man was burly and uninhibited, picked up the small half bottle of whiskey left on the table, rinsed his mouth, and said angrily: "You two are almost enough, if you want to do it, go home and do it!" Meet Rogan. Howlett. ”
Logan?
Joey frowned and looked at the chimney man he had seen earlier at the door.
Call~
On the other side, Susan breathed a sigh of relief, Joey's gaze was so lethal that she almost didn't resist it.
Her heart was still beating like she had never felt before. Charitz's relationship is more like a collision between mathematics and chemistry, novel but uninteresting, like a boring academic exchange.
"It's he who wants to see you, Wolverine of the X-Men." Susan calmed her heartbeat and explained quietly.
"It's famous."
Joey nodded: "Mr. Howlett, is there something wrong with me?" ”
"Scott was captured by the Brotherhood."
Logan gulped down his cigar, his eyes half-narrowed as if he were smoky, and he stared straight at his right hand stretched out in the air and said, "Let's not talk about Scott, boy, do you see this hand?" It's very embarrassing at the moment, and if you don't want your face torn by it, I'll give you a friendly suggestion to touch it! ”
Rogan is rarely polite to people, and generally likes to use his paws to sign when he speaks, and this is the first time in nearly a decade that he has taken the initiative to shake hands with someone, only to be ignored.
"Poof~"
Susan couldn't help laughing, she knew that Joey wasn't used to shaking hands, to be precise, he didn't like shaking hands with men.
"Cyclops was caught, what does it have to do with me?"
Joey had some slight physiological cleanliness habits, and he struggled for a moment, not choosing to make contact with Logan's paw that had killed countless people and didn't know how much intestinal visceral excrement was stained with, and turned his head to call the waiter for a different way of greeting.
In the blink of an eye, the table was filled with all kinds of famous wines that made Rogan's mouth swoon.
The light brown liquor is crystal clear under the light and has an attractive luster.
As a veteran alcoholic who has been drinking heavily all year round, Logan has found a home with his right hand stretched out in mid-air and nowhere to place.
Picking up a bottle of whiskey, he wiped it over his finger bones, filled the empty glass in front of him, and grinned, "I kind of like you." ”
"You just asked me if Scott's arrest had anything to do with you, and I'll show you something before I answer that."
Logan took out a few crumpled photos from the leather pocket of his upper body and threw them on the table, he pointed to the laser eyes with his hands in his pockets and no one in his eyes, and said, "Look at this chin and nose, is it very similar to you?" ”
Susan snatched the photo with a sigh and sighed: "It's quite photogenic, you grabbed these sunglasses last time?" ”
"What robbery? Picked up! ”
Joey took a closer look, but didn't find any decent opportunity to quibble.
"Just admit that it's related to you."
Logan put down his glass heavily and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what you did as Scott, but Eric's old guy is very angry, we were attacked, and there is no way to fight back, Storm Girl and Angel are seriously injured, Scott ......"
Speaking of this, Logan closed his eyes in grief, wiped away his non-existent tears and said, "Poor Scott was beaten so much that I almost didn't recognize him." ”
In fact, after the conflict broke out, the misunderstanding between the two sides was clearly explained, and Scott was taken as a hostage, so Logan was not particularly worried.
The X-Men and the Brotherhood have been fighting for more than ten years, and Logan knows Magneto and Professor X very well, as long as the bottom line is not touched, the battle is generally stopped, at most disabled, rarely fatal.
"You seem to have a good relationship with Cyclops?" Joey asked thoughtfully.
"Scott was one of the first students I brought with me, and of course the relationship is good, is there any problem?"
Logan glanced at Joey suspiciously, and said, "Don't gossip, you caused the matter, and you are responsible for it." ”
Being responsible is just an excuse, the X-Men need help, and all the information tells Logan that Joey is a very powerful mutant, and with his help, he has the strength to be tough with the Brotherhood.
Especially Hellfire is now also involved, the power of the two sides can be described as a huge disparity, without foreign aid, let alone dismantling Magneto's plot, how to rescue Scott is a problem.
Summing up the above, Rogge must drag Joey into the water.
"Professor X and Jean. What about Grey? ”
Joey is not stupid, knowing that Logan is playing on the topic and wants to muddy the waters, but he is a little puzzled why the X-Men are here, and they obviously have the power to use it.
As long as the phoenix makes a move, the mutants and hellfire will not be wiped out in minutes.
"Professors are going to stay in school to protect students, and our enemies are far more than the Brotherhood." Logan explained.
Then he raised his eyebrows and said something that made Joey startled: "Also, Jean. Who is Grey? ”
“......”
Joey was dumbfounded when asked.
Violin. Who is Grey, that's a very good question.
From a realistic point of view, she is first and foremost a person, emotionally, she is the girlfriend of Scott and Logan, and historically, she is an indispensable and important role throughout the events of the mutant people.
The Marvel multiverse can be without mutants, but how can there be no piano in mutants. Grey?
Joey couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
