Chapter 127: Old Friends Reunited

United Building.

At this time, a debate session was underway regarding the mutant registration bill.

On the podium at the convention center, a redhead in professional attire is giving a speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing another stage of human evolution. Variants are more common during adolescence and are triggered by emotional ups and downs..."

However, before the redhead could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Congressman Kelly, the sponsor of the mutant registration bill.

Councillor Kelly, in a slightly frivolous and teasing tone, said:

"Thank you, Miss Jean Grey, for your very educational presentation. But you deviated from the topic of this meeting. ”

"Please answer if mutants are dangerous!"

Jean Grey: "Councillor, your question is not appropriate. Some people get into accidents when they drive......"

"That's why you need to get a driver's license." Congressman Kelly interrupted Jean again.

Jean Gray looked at Councillor Kelly gently, "But there is no driver's license for survival." ”

"In fact, if mutants appear in public, it can cause panic, hostility, and even violent tendencies."

"To prevent mutants from being subjected to this hostility, I implore Congress to cancel the mutant registration bill."

"Forcing them to reveal their identities..."

"Identity?" Councillor Kelly stood up and asked suspiciously, "Why are they hiding?" Want to be sneaky? ”

Jean shook her head: "They weren't hiding..."

Councillor Kelly pulled a document from his desk, walked out of the podium, and turned to face the other councillors.

"I have a list of mutants living in Lightcountry and a girl who can walk through walls......"

"Councillor Kelly!!" Jean tries to stop Kelly.

However, Congressman Kelly didn't seem to hear Jean's speech, and continued to talk as he handed out the documents in his hand to the other councillors.

"What happens if she sneaks into a bank vault or the White House or your home?"

"I've also heard of mutants who can sense and control the human mind, depriving us of our free will. What happens if left unchecked? ”

After handing out the documents in his hand, Congressman Kelly faced the public and said loudly to everyone present.

"We have the right to decide whether a child needs mutants to be teachers or classmates, or to stay away from them."

"Ladies and gentlemen, mutants do exist and are all around us, and we need to study them thoroughly and know what they are capable of."

At the end of Congressman Kelly's speech, there was countless applause from the audience.

Jean took off her glasses and looked at the other members of the National Assembly who applauded and the audience present, her expression very solemn.

At this moment, two figures in the audience left one after another.

In the hallway outside the meeting room.

"Eric?"

Professor X, who was in a wheelchair, stopped the man in a black trench coat walking in front of him.

With just one back, Professor X recognized his old friend, Magneto.

As a comrade-in-arms who once fought side by side, he later turned against each other because of different ideas.

They all knew each other too well.

Whether it's each other's abilities, or each other's personalities.

Magneto stopped.

"What are you doing here?" Professor X asked.

Magneto: "Why are you asking these questions for which you already know the answers?" ”

Professor X: "Don't give up on humans. ”

Magneto: "What do you want me to do?" Don't waste your lips. ”

Professor X showed a smile on his face and persuaded him, "That's in the past, humans have evolved!" ”

Magneto: "Yes... Evolved into a mutant! ”

Professor X restrained his smile and looked at the back of the man in front of him.

Magneto tapped his head lightly: "You broke into here with telepathy, what are you looking for?" ”

Magneto turned around, his face was already old, but his resolute eyes seemed to be unchanged for eternity.

Professor X sighed, "I'm looking for hope. ”

"I'll give you hope, old friend." Magneto's resolute eyes showed a hint of sincerity: "Please do one thing, don't stop me." ”

Magneto tweaked his hat and turned to leave, leaving only a word.

"We are the masters of the future, and humanity has been eliminated."

……

S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.

The meeting on the virus of desperation has ended, but nothing has been discussed.

The sudden mutant registration bill has kept the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. busy.

Black Widow Natasha and Hawkeye Clint were also assigned missions as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

Steve Rodgers, the captain of the Lighthouse Nation, offered to stay and help.

Clark and Tony and the others seemed to have nothing to do for a while.

Outside the conference room, Clark asked Tony and Banner:

"Banner, where are you going next? Don't stay in S.H.I.E.L.D.? ”

Banner continued, "Tony invited me and him to continue researching the Desperate Virus, and while I don't approve of using the Desperate Virus as a weapon, the infected will know about it, and it must be addressed." ”

Tony Stark put on his suit and walked over, one hand on Banner's shoulder.

"Don't worry, Banner. With me, a super genius, and you, a genius to study together, I believe that the problem of the infected exploding will soon be solved. ”

After the four say goodbye, Tony leaves with Banner.

That's when Clark realized. Something didn't seem quite right with Thor.

He has always been chattering, but he hasn't said a word since he left the meeting, and he looks bitter and hateful, as if he is thinking about something.

"Thor, do you have something on your mind?"

"Ahh ”

Clark reminisced about Thor's memories and said, "When you learn to believe in yourself, you'll be free to use Thor's hammer!" ”

"Believe in yourself." Nursery was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what Clark meant. "I've always believed in myself!"

Clark shook his head: "You believe in a lot of things, you believe in Odin, you believe in Asgard, you believe in Thor's hammer, but you don't believe in yourself. ”

Nursery was completely confused.

I am the prince of Asgard, the eldest son of Odin, and the successor of Thor's hammer.

Clark patted Thor on the shoulder and gave him a sympathetic look.

In the near future, all these things that Thor believed in would leave him, leaving him alone.

Of course, these Clarkes won't tell him.

For one, there is no way to explain it.

Second, these are too cruel for Thor, a hundred-year-old "child".

Clark summons Thor's hammer and takes Thor to the planet daily.

As soon as he returned to the newspaper office, Clark found that the originally idle Planet Daily had become extremely busy at this time.

No sooner had Clark and Thor stepped into the Planet Daily than Louis spotted them.

"You two are finally back, come and help, we're too busy."

Clark: "What's going on?" ”

Louis was a little surprised: "Don't you know? Not long ago, a lawmaker introduced a mutant registration bill. ”

"All the events about mutants are hot topics now, and our newspaper will also launch new newspapers as soon as possible."
