Chapter 333

Seeing Moira MacTaggert's blank and dazed expression, Su Quan asked, feigning confusion, "What's wrong?"

Moira MacTaggert shook his head and subconsciously looked at Raven.

Raven's feelings were complicated!

It's me!

I am your 'Moira MacTaggert'!

But she couldn't say it, couldn't be honest, because compared to the frustration of treating others as her own, what she feared most now was that Su Quan would despise her after knowing the truth.

She knew very well that no matter who she became, no matter how beautiful her 'original' appearance was after she lost her blue color, it was not her true self.

Even Charles, who adopted her from childhood, couldn't truly accept her true appearance, let alone Su Quan, who had a beauty like the White Queen by his side.

She was afraid that Su Quan would dislike her.

I'm very scared.

I'm terrified.

So even though Su Quan identified with the real Moira MacTaggert, and even though they might be separated in the near future, she didn't want Su Quan to know the truth, and didn't want to ruin his good impression of 'herself'.

Taking a deep breath, Raven said with feigned dissatisfaction, "It's all because you two are having a secret rendezvous here that I have to disguise myself as Mora and cover for her outside."

Moira MacTaggert gave Raven a deep look and continued, "The US and the Soviet Union have already amassed warships in Cuban waters. The Black King may take action, triggering a nuclear war between the two sides."

Turning her head, she looked at Su Quan with a complicated expression and said, "Raven came to inform us to prepare for the operation. You... you go wash up, we need to get there as soon as possible."

Su Quan nodded normally and readily turned to wash up.

After watching Su Quan leave, the two exchanged a glance. They each had something to say, but didn't know what to say, so they could only look at each other in silence.

After a while, Su Quan finished packing and teleported the two of them directly to the Xavier's Mansion.

Inside the manor, the Original X-Men, dressed in matching black and yellow uniforms, stood near the Blackbird jet, ready and poised for action.

When they saw Su Quan appear with Moira MacTaggert and Raven, no one was too surprised. Although they didn't know where Raven had gone before, it was normal for Su Quan to be able to Teleportation and bring her back.

Raven was somewhat surprised to find a 'Beast' covered in blue fur.

"Hank, you..."

"My research failed, but... it also helped me to see my true self," Hank McCoy said with a deep sigh, speaking candidly.

Hank McCoy had previously tried to develop a drug using Raven's genes to restore their physical appearance to normal, but unfortunately, he ultimately failed.

Incidentally, because Raven leaves the manor every few days, their relationship isn't as close as it is in the movie.

Aside from Charles, who adopted her and treated her like a younger sister, Raven's relationships with others were generally closer than colleagues but not quite friends, and that was about it.

The Blackbird jet has a large interior space. Everyone sat facing each other, fastened their seat belts, and the plane quickly took off, heading towards Cuban waters.

Su Quan sat down with Moira MacTaggert as a matter of course, whispering to each other from time to time.

Moira MacTaggert appeared somewhat embarrassed and resistant, but he had no choice but to respond to Su Quan's words.

This made things seem a bit different to others; it gave the impression that Moira MacTaggert was embarrassed to be too close to Su Quan in public.

"You... you're together?" Charles Xavier asked jokingly with a smile.

Su Quan didn't speak, but just looked at Moira MacTaggert with a smile.

Moira MacTaggert hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, feigning composure.

In Raven's plan, the relationship between 'Moira MacTaggert' and Su Quan was to be kept secret, so even if she denied it, Su Quan would not suspect her and it would not affect the original plan.

Charles Xavier smiled and stopped joking. After all, Mora's private life was her own business, and for now, their relationship was just that of colleagues and friends. It wasn't appropriate to ask so many questions when they weren't close enough to know each other.

Cuban waters.

The warships of the US and the Soviet Union were anchored within their respective coastlines, facing each other, tensely on guard against the other side suddenly opening fire or entering the warning line.

Speaking of the warning line, a fishing boat suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was rapidly approaching the US warning line.

During this sensitive time, let alone fishing boats, even a fly flying by would stir up their tension.

The Soviet side inquired about the identity of the fishing boats and ordered them to back off, but received no response.

There were no survivors on the fishing boat; the Red Devil had killed them all.

But the US didn't know that, seeing the fishing boat continue to approach without responding, they were finally ready to give the order.

Just then, a Soviet warship launched a missile, which destroyed the fishing boat.

The US breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. If the fishing boats had continued to move forward, and the US had ordered an attack, war would have been inevitable.

Although it is unknown why the other side suddenly bombed the fishing boat, or whether the fishing boat was actually sent by the other side, this action did temporarily avert war.

"Call..."

High in the sky, deep within the clouds, Charles Xavier, aboard the Blackbird jet, let out a long breath and lowered his fingers.

He had just controlled the Soviet warships to use missiles to destroy the fishing boats, which were already empty, temporarily averting war.

"Siren, it's your turn!"

Charles Xavier raised his hand again, using his Psychic Abilities to contact the siren who had already entered the sea.

On the seabed, the siren forcefully emitted sound waves, and soon he received a response, locking onto the submarine hidden on the seabed.

The Black King's submarine.

Charles Xavier received a location notification from Erik Lehnsherr.

The plane descended rapidly, and Erik Lehnsherr, standing on the landing gear, directed his gaze toward the submarine's location, letting out a low growl.

In an instant, the sea broke open, and a submarine slowly emerged.

This scene left both the Americans and the Soviets dumbfounded and stunned!

Is there a submarine hidden at the bottom of the sea?

The US suspected it was from the Soviet Union, while the Soviet Union suspected it was from the US.

Beyond their mutual suspicion, what puzzled and shocked them even more was...

It was as if an invisible giant hand was grabbing the submarine and moving it from mid-air to the shore of a small island not far away.

"Bang!"

The submarine's entrance cover was pushed open from the inside, and Havok out, quickly revealing Erik Lehnsherr on the Blackbird jet's landing gear.

Spread your hands out and spin rapidly, creating hurricane-like bursts of energy around the Havok.

He is the wind, and the wind is him!

The combined Havok of man and wind created an even larger hurricane, which jumped directly from the submarine and swept towards the Blackbird jet.

The violent turbulence immediately caused the people on the plane to grip their seat belts tightly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Su Quan smiled at Moira MacTaggert, whose face was pale and whose expression was terrified.

Holding her hand with his left, he flicked her index and middle fingers together with his right hand upwards.

The hurricane outside the plane was like a flame that had been blown out; it vanished in an instant.

"Thump!"

Before the Havok, which could no longer generate hurricanes, could even react, it fell into the sea.

The crisis was averted, and the plane returned to calm.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Moira MacTaggert looked at the hand that Su Quan was holding. Although he didn't know what Su Quan had done, there was no doubt that he had made a move.

"Thanks!"

Su Quan smiled and squeezed her hand tighter, "It's my pleasure."

"You're one of my people, protecting you is my duty!"

Moira MacTaggert instantly understood his meaning, and at the same time, his feelings towards him became more complicated.

She began to understand why Raven had fallen for him.

The more you interact with them, the more you feel that reassuring sense of security and comfort.

There's a feeling that no matter how short or long tomorrow may be, I can comfortably wander with you.

A deafening roar came from outside. With the disruptive Havok gone, Erik Lehnsherr successfully towed the submarine ashore.

The submarine rolled and crushed a large grove of coconut trees before finally coming to a stop.

The Blackbird jet slowly landed near the submarine. Charles Xavier, with his head down, spoke as he sensed the surroundings.

"I can't read Xiao's thoughts; it's as if something is blocking me."

"But I read about someone else, Shaw is absorbing energy from the submarine, he's turned himself into a nuclear bomb!"

As the team leader, Charles Xavier naturally took charge.

"Mora, turn on the plane's intercom and notify the warships at sea to evacuate."

"Beast, Shockwave, cover Erik as he charges in."

"Erik, once you get in, I can show you the way, but I need you to disable the things that are blocking me."
