032: New mutants
As a child, Charles. Xavier's first reaction was to be scared when he found out that he had superpowers, huddled in his room alone, not daring to go out for days, and the voice of everyone's heart kept echoing in his ears.
Telepathy was not under Charles' control at first, and he lived in pain every day, passively receiving these messages, as well as those painful and happy emotions.
Over time, he became accustomed to the pain of telepathy, and began to master the ability and retract it with ease.
Young Charles began to use this ability to spy on other people's thoughts and memories, but apart from his parents, he rarely took the initiative to read their parents' minds, he knew that his mother loved him very much, and that was enough, and there were many more things he didn't want to know.......
Apart from.... Do his parents have the same superpowers as him?
Unfortunately, he found that his parents were just ordinary people, and he was a little disappointed and a little happy, and he seemed to be a special child.
But when he went to read more about his mind, he found that he seemed to be too special, and no one around him had superpowers, which made him get along with the people around him, and there was always a sense of estrangement in his heart.
This also left young Charles rarely going out to socialize, he had few friends, and was alone at home all day.
Until one night, he saw a girl in the kitchen who looked exactly like his mother, the demon girl Raven, that night was the happiest moment of his years, he met a "kind", a girl who could change her body and appearance at will.
However, Raven's body is a little deformed, she is all blue, and there are strange lines, compared to Charles, she looks like a freak.
But it did not affect the two children who were connected with the same fate and became close friends, so they began to live together, grew up together, and were intimately inseparable.
Both are each other's only friends.
Later, Charles studied genetics at university, he was too fascinated by the secrets of his body, why he could read other people's thoughts, he looked exactly like the people around him, and it was this choice that made him completely open Pandora's box.
He found that he and Raven had the same gene cell in their bodies, which other humans and creatures did not have, and he named it "X gene", and in-depth research found that "X gene" is a variant of human genes, which is mutated in a very small number of people.
At that time, young Charles. Xavier realizes that he is an anomaly, and the demon girl Raven next to him is also an anomaly!
They are all the product of human mutations!
The only thing he has in common with humans is his appearance, and his childhood sweetheart, Raiwen, she even looks like a freak.
He didn't want to admit it, but he knew in his heart that he was an outlier, and he just didn't want to say it.
He likes to chat and make friends with women who are genetically defective.
Those women with different pupils make him feel good, make him feel that the women in front of him are no different from himself, and make him feel like he is integrated into the world, because their genes are also mutated defects.
But that's just self-inflicted humiliation, Charles realizes that he is just the lucky one of the "X genes", and Raven is the original mutant.
Charles. Xavier told his two children about his past, "Raven asked me a question back then, I didn't care about her appearance, and asked me if I would marry her...... I hesitated, I replied "we will never be apart", but my eyes kept on the paper, and I did not dare to look at her. ”
"Professor, there is such a past."
Lorna was a little surprised, and blamed Rojo for his previous high opinion of the professor, which made people think that the professor was noble.
"Professor, you're not hypocritical, you just want the world to accept mutants."
Rojo understood the professor's feelings, and the professor was indeed a little hypocritical and selfish at first.
But later, after experiencing the trials and witnessing the devastation of mutants, the professor understood that only by letting the world accept mutants could the race have a safe living environment, after all, mutants are always a very small minority.
"I'm sorry, I've digressed the subject."
Professor Charles took a deep breath and tried to make his voice louder, he now sounded weak, as if he could fall ill at any moment, "Now, let's talk about Lorna. ”
"Hmm."
Lorna couldn't wait to talk about this morning, she was too weak to show her abilities every time.
"When did you notice a change in your abilities?"
Charles asked.
"It seems like it was the other day."
Lorna struggled to recall the details of her abilities.
"Isn't that what you escaped from the shelter?"
Rojo reminded and briefly told the professor next to him that Lorna's recent experience was that the shelter was destroyed and her friends were persecuted.
"Poor boy, I think, I know what the problem is."
Professor Charles's eyes softened as he looked at the girl, "You are really similar to your father, I used to guide him, and you have the same problem with him. ”
The professor misses spending time with Magneto Eric, and the two became best friends during that time, and it was at that time that he taught Eric how to control magnetism.
Obviously, Lorna in front of her has the same problem.
There is a need to find a threshold between anger and calmness, a balance point of deep emotions.
Because Lorna's abilities are strengthened in the face of extreme anger, the destruction of the shelter and the persecution of her friends have stimulated her potential.
Finding this balance was too easy for the professor, and his telepathy quickly found the balance in Lorna's heart.
Lorna, who was standing in front of the sofa, tried to open her hand after the instruction, and a dark green light swirled, and her body floated into the air like a cloud of mist.
"It worked!"
She raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth curled: "Luo Huo, look, I can fly!" ”
"After so many years of teaching, he is still an excellent mentor."
Rojoting admired the professor's ability to guide, no weaker than telepathy in this regard, once the X-Men were all his students, and the Omega Reserve was also a person he personally selected.
"I'm just doing a small favor, and I'll still need Lorna to train on her own in the future."
Charles was paralyzed in a wheelchair, and when he saw Lorna flying, he also smiled kindly, like a smile when he saw his granddaughter succeed in school.
"Lorna is very diligent, she got up earlier than me."
Rojo reached out and hooked Lorna, and if she didn't hold the girl, she would have to float to the ceiling, but this also reflected that she was not able to fly with people, and could only fly solo at the moment.
However, compared to Magneto, Lorna's talent is obviously not bad at all.
"Alright, come down and eat."
Logan. Howlett prepared lunch, a table of uniquely shaped foods that appeared to be a variety of beans, tomatoes and meats stir-fried in one pot.
"It tastes good."
Luo Huo is very hungry, he has been busy all morning today, although the meat is a little firewood, but it tastes very delicious, and it is not greasy with tomatoes.
"Uh-huh."
Next to her, Lorna nodded, she didn't care too much about the taste of the food, and when you're hungry, you don't think about it so much.
Especially when Lorna uses the mutant ability, her body will consume a lot of calories, which is why she looks thin, after all, she didn't eat enough every day in the shelter before, and now she doesn't pick on what she eats.
"What do you guys think about the new mutants?"
Professor Charles took a few bites, then suddenly put down his fork and asked.
"Here we go again......"
Logan. Howlett frowned, as if he had expected it.
"Professor, the news says that there are no new mutants born, and Rojo and I may be the last."
Lorna said as she chewed on the meat and puffed out her cheeks.
"I don't think so...."
Professor Charles shook his head.
Before Rojo could speak, Rogan on the other side. Howlett couldn't help but speak: "Professor, you've only been normal for a few hours, and you've started talking nonsense again, and the one sitting in front of you is the latest and last batch of mutants to be born, and there won't be any new mutants!" You should be sober! ”
For the past few days, the professor has been talking in Logan's ear about the new mutants, and he will talk to him every night, and he will also talk to Caliban.
According to Caliban's words, "Logan, you'd better go and see the professor, he doesn't know who he's befriending again", and divine friendship refers to spiritual communication, which is one of the professor's telepathic enhanced abilities.
When the professor is mentally confused, he often unconsciously communicates with others, and sometimes he does not know what is real, because some things may be fantasies in other people's brains.
"But Lorna is three years younger than Rojo! They are not the same batch of newborns at all! ”
Professor Charles struggled to stand up and sat up straight at Logan, "You know, you know what the officials must be hiding!" We've all worked with them, and those people are liars! What they say is a lie! ”
"Charles, you forgot, the one who chose to believe them in the first place, but you!"
Logan. After Howlett finished speaking, he put down the bowl in his hand and turned back to the room, leaving the professor with a frozen face.
"It was me.... It's all me... I shouldn't have trusted them .... Hank Raven's death was all because of me..."
Uncle Wolf's words made Charles's brain gradually confused again, and he kept flashing bits and pieces, muttering to himself.
"Not good, Rojo, go get the medicine."
Caliban shuddered at this, quickly pushed down his chair, and took a few steps back.
"What's wrong?"
Lorna was a little worried, and the professor's face looked bad and his eyes became glazed.
"It should be symptomatic."
Luo Huo took the pills and a glass of water, and Uncle Wolf in the room also pushed open the door and looked worriedly, but when he saw someone helping, he didn't come out.
"Don't.... I don't have to take medicine, here they come! Someone's coming! ”
Charles pointed to the wall in front of him, where there was a small screen with four surveillance screens, facing the factory in four different directions.
A few seconds later, an off-road vehicle appeared in one of the images, speeding towards it.
"Fack! Hide the Professor! ”
In the room, Logan. Seeing this scene, Howlett hurriedly ran out, forcibly fed the pills into the professor's mouth, and then directly carried the professor to the water tower, not forgetting to remind: "Rojo, you go to the front door to guard, Lorna hides the wheelchair!" Those guys are probably coming for the professor! ”
