Adler Villa.
"Pain-Immunity Girl? What's that?"
Emma frowned.
"Not what—who!"
Mentioning his good friend gave Sheldon a sudden burst of confidence. It was as if he had once again become Professor Cooper, truly capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with Professor X. He said proudly, "Her name is Megan. She's one of my C-Men. C-Men is modeled after X-Men—X comes from Professor X's initial, so naturally Professor Cooper's team uses C. She has the superpower of feeling no pain when she's hit."
"C-Men?"
Emma gave Sheldon a blank look. "Can she get hurt?"
"..."
Sheldon froze.
Megan had Pain-Immunity Syndrome. She simply couldn't feel pain.
And it was precisely because she might get hurt without realizing it, putting her life in danger, that Adam had introduced six-year-old Megan to him.
He had made the exceptionally cautious Professor Cooper her mentor, teaching her how to live carefully.
So, setting aside the impressive title of Pain-Immunity Girl, Professor Cooper's C-Men had no fighting ability whatsoever, just like him.
"She's fifteen, older than you!"
Sheldon immediately thought of Megan's real fighting ability against Emma.
"Then bring her over."
Emma smiled. "Let's compare and see who's bigger."
"...What are you trying to do..."
Sheldon wisely yielded.
"I want that!"
Emma pointed her little finger at the Thomas the Tank Engine in Sheldon's hands.
It was a gift from Missy.
The latest Thomas the Tank Engine model.
"No!"
Sheldon immediately hugged the train engine and shook his head repeatedly.
"Are you refusing me?"
Little Sweet Bear Emma's face went blank. In Sheldon's eyes, it was as though a huge black shadow rose behind her, standing upright and enveloping him.
"No..."
Sheldon was nearly crying. "You like train engines too?"
"No."
Emma shook her head. "Who likes something so childish?"
"I do!"
Sheldon cried out miserably.
