A quiet and leisurely afternoon at the Crawford Manor.

On two chaise longues in the courtyard, the Maximov siblings slept soundly. Wanda seemed to have dreamed of something bad again, and even in her sleep, she still frowned slightly. As for Pietro's big heart, the corners of his mouth drooled while snoring like thunder.

At a window on the second floor of a European-style villa, Laura and Katie were hugging each other, talking while observing the two in the courtyard.

"You're saying they're mutants too? And most likely a descendant of Eric?! ”

Katie's eyes widened in disbelief, Eric Lanshell was the pseudonym used by Magneto.

Before officially joining the X-Men, as a cadet, she simply thought that Magneto was the evil side that represented mutants. After joining the X-Men, after many overt and covert confrontations between the two sides, Katie quickly figured out that Professor Charles and Magneto just had a conceptual disagreement, and the two were actually old friends who cherished each other.

If anything, Magneto and his forces represent a radical faction among mutants, advocating that all means can be used to fight for mutants' social status and rights.

On the one hand, Professor Charles and Xavier Academy for Gifted Geniuses are moderates among mutants, advocating positive and positive methods to change the stereotype of mutants in human society, and also fighting for the legitimate and reasonable rights and interests of mutants.

So as the once thought rival, and now the real opponent, Katie is quite interested in Magneto's descendants.

Seeing her curious baby look, Laura couldn't help but kiss her again, and then slowly told all the clues and information she had found so far.

"It turned out to be the X Weapon Program... Professor Charles once told us about this secret experiment of the military, and it seems that he is inextricably linked to Logan. ”

Katie frowned, this so-called mutant research institute was an absolute abhorrent existence in her opinion.

"While you were recovering from your slumber, Oloro called me, and I told her that your Phantom Armor had taken you out of danger at the last minute and came to my side.

She can now be said to be very busy, Professor Charles and a number of students have mysteriously disappeared, and their whereabouts are still unknown. Scott had a serious disagreement with her, and now the academy had to be divided into two factions. ”

Listening to Laura's story, Katie let out a long sigh before she spoke:

In fact, the difference between the concepts of the two teachers, Aurora and Scott, was reflected very early. Aurora's views are closer to Professor Charles's, while Scott's is more radical.

In many of the X-Men operations I've been involved in, if the two of them were leading the team, not the professor, they would have argued about the course of action. The result is that something goes wrong every time something goes wrong in the course of such an operation. ”

Laura could hear that Katie was upset about it. Come to think of it, as a person with one of the best overall strength in the team, she will definitely have to help solve something in the operation. It's okay if it's just once or twice, but after a long time and a lot of times, it will always be annoying.

"In fact, looking back and thinking about it now, the academy is usually divided into two factions: radical and conservative, and there will be a bit of vicious competition from time to time, which makes people speechless."

Now that she is so far away from the academy and surrounded by a lover who knows her thoughts, Katie doesn't have so many worries when she speaks.

"Actually, whether it's Magneto or Professor Charles, I'm not optimistic about the plans and programs of the two of them."

Laura's words drew Katie's attention, who was obviously curious about what was going on, so she continued to explain.

"Magneto wants mutants to be powerful, and Charles wants mutants to have status, in my opinion, their demands are basically the same, that is, to win legal, reasonable, and relatively equal rights and interests for the mutant race."

Katie nodded in agreement with Laura's summary words, and thought of some bad developments, and sure enough, Laura's next words verified her guess:

"But have you thought about it, it's actually a mutant version of the civil rights movement that the United States and the Western world have been arguing about but never came to a conclusion."

This sentence can be described as a sentence that woke up the dreamer, and Katie was greatly moved. It's not that she doesn't understand the civil rights movement, it's that she knows so much that for a moment she has a little despair about the future of mutants.

In the United States, the civil rights movement is dominated by blacks, which is the most representative, longest-lasting, most influential, and most officially recognized and overtly fruitful.

But in reality? Discrimination in everyday life is still pervasive, and there are even absurd cases of black officers who have served in the U.S. military for many years returning from overseas bases to be stopped in the street by white police officers and brutally enforced in the law.

"Is there really nothing to be done?"

In the midst of the excitement, Katie's voice trembled with a hint of her voice, and she unconsciously used her strength to grasp Laura's hands.

Seeing Katie like this, Laura quickly hugged her and whispered comfort, in fact, she still had something to say. That is, mutants are different from ordinary blacks or Asians, and the various superpowers that may appear in their race after the awakening of the X gene have always been coveted by all forces, so their lives will only be more difficult than those of blacks and Asians.

"It's not impossible, for example, immigrating to space is a good option."

Laura makes a point and begins to explain its feasibility to Katie.

In ancient times, the two "perfect" races created by the Celestials' genetic experiments on Earth, the Eternals and the Anomalous, were ultimately defeated by ordinary humans in the course of history.

The mutants chose to integrate into human society, while the Eternals relied on advanced technology to relocate to Titan, and if it weren't for the appearance of Thanos, a madman, the Eternals might be able to continue to develop in the future.

Coincidentally, the experimental product abandoned by the Kree --- Inhumans, who were also split in two after their defeat to ordinary humans. The Inhuman royal family arrived on the moon with most of their clansmen using the Kree Empire's technological warships and founded the Inhuman city of Attillan. Some of the elders who remained on Earth were hiding in the "afterlife."

In Laura's opinion, most of the mutants also have no sense of belonging to their homeland because they have been displaced since childhood. So why fight for the position of the Mandate of Heaven race on this one-third of the earth? Using technology to migrate to space can be said to be a pretty good option.
