Marvel's Perfect Girlfriend

"Boss is back~"

Ava Ellis swayed her hips as she greeted him, enthusiastically helping Sean White out of his coat. The seduction in her eyes was practically dripping out. Linda Carter curled her lip beside them, thoroughly disdainful of the female doctor. If you've got the guts, make a move already. All you do is flirt with your eyes.

Sean was already used to Ava's attentiveness and naturally accepted the redhead's service, though he turned a blind eye to her gaze.

What kind of man was Sean White? Did she think a single look could lure him away?

"Today was really unlucky. Another guy who couldn't pay his bill."

Hearing Sean's words, Ava showed a sympathetic expression. Owing Dr. White money? That person probably didn't know what it meant to be at someone else's mercy.

After checking the time and tidying the items on the desk, Linda said to Sean, "Dr. White, I'm getting off work. Is there anything else you need?"

Sean waved Linda off, then glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already seven fifty-five. Really was time to get off work.

Watching Sean White leave after changing clothes, Ava helplessly locked the door and went upstairs to rest. Why was she always the one on duty every day?

Sean did not live far away. He had an apartment near Lincoln Center Station. Speaking of which, both that place and the little clinic building had been left to him by his grandfather.

His predecessor had received that inheritance, worth tens of millions, then drunk himself to death from alcohol poisoning while celebrating.

A mutant with unlimited stamina dying from alcohol poisoning? Heh~

Fortunately, Boston's mutant circle was small. Otherwise, Sean's reputation might have spread all the way to New York.

When Sean got home, he froze.

"Sto... Storm~" Was this supposed to be his girlfriend? This bizarre relationship was still a little hard for Sean to sort out.

"That expression is quite fresh~" Storm stood at the bedroom door with her arms crossed, wearing a tiny T-shirt and hot pants that fully displayed her fiery figure.

"Fresh? Uh~ It is pretty fresh~"

Storm frowned and asked doubtfully, "What? You don't like it?"

"Huh?~"

No, shouldn't you let me process this first? Sean wanted to say something to ease his awkwardness, but Storm gave him no chance at all.

Her eyes turned white, and wind immediately rose inside the house~

"Are you crazy!? Stop! Stop!"

Storm snorted and struck him with a bolt of lightning. Was this woman really that temperamental? Sean exhaled a puff of smoke and decided to surrender.

"Couldn't you let me get used to it first? Wouldn't it be awkward if I mistook you for someone else?"

"Tch~" Storm glanced at Sean disdainfully, and her body changed, returning to its original appearance. She no longer had that same wild air, but she still resembled an untamed little wildcat.

Vanessa Carlisle, a mutant. She could imitate other people's appearances and abilities, copying them at the DNA level and making it almost impossible to expose her. Her Storm identity was merely a little role-playing game she and Sean enjoyed. Since it was the first time she had used that look, Sean had failed to adjust right away. Compared to Mystique, another person with similar abilities, Vanessa was even stronger, because Mystique could not imitate others' superpowers.

Vanessa Carlisle could, and she could even turn into animals.

Sean had met Vanessa because she had transformed into a silver-gray stray cat.

That had been back in Boston, shortly after Sean had transmigrated.

For someone who had lived in the twenty-first century and constantly looked down at his phone, transmigration was not an unfamiliar concept. Even truly facing it had not caused him much panic. There were things and people he missed in his original world, of course, but not enough for him to mourn the passing of the seasons, so he did not carry much emotional baggage.

The original owner's memories had completely merged with his, as though he had personally experienced those events. For a transmigrator, that was a small pleasant surprise.

Reviewing those memories was quite interesting.

Sean White, originally named Ryan White, had been born in Texas and was twenty-two this year.

His parents had both been fishermen, and he had an older brother.

After Sean turned sixteen, his mutant abilities had gradually awakened. He began to become a star at school. During high school, every cheerleading captain had been his girlfriend, and he had lived an incredibly flamboyant life—until... he failed to get into college~

Then his parents and brother had died in a maritime disaster~

Afterward, relying on his limitless stamina, Sean became a mover, a job with great prospects for him. Because he could earn three salaries!

The conflict between humans and mutants had intensified by the day. Sean had once been suspected of being a mutant, but he dispelled those suspicions by drawing on his history as an athletic standout since childhood. From then on, however, he had hidden his mutant abilities even more carefully.

He could be considered a mutant embedded among humans.

The original owner's life had been simple, provided one excluded his complicated relationships with women.

Naturally, the new Sean White had no desire to inherit his girlfriends and the like. That kind of bizarre relationship was unacceptable.

Since he was going to New York to inherit the estate anyway, he would say goodbye to everything in Boston.

Of course, there was also a hefty inheritance tax to pay. The new Sean decided to sell the Boston house. Together with the insurance payout from the maritime disaster, it would be enough.

When he was leaving Boston, he saw a cute little silver cat and, on a whim, took it in.

That cat had been Vanessa Carlisle. After she returned to her true form... well, life became exciting afterward~

She was absolutely the perfect girlfriend. One was worth a thousand!

"You went to Xavier today?" Sean asked Vanessa while eating dinner.

"Mm-hmm~ Want to try Storm tonight?"

Vanessa's question made Sean's face darken. Was he really the kind of person who only thought about that sort of thing?

"We'll talk about tonight later... I mean, what did you go to Xavier for?"

"Heh~ What did I go for?" Vanessa rolled her eyes at Sean and said irritably, "You sent the bill to the school. What do you think I went for? Since when did Polaris owe you 1.7 billion dollars?"

That was a little awkward. 1.7 billion... even he had not expected the loan to grow that much.

"That's a long story..."

"Then make it short."

"Fine. A little over a month ago, that girl borrowed five cents from me to take the bus. She said she would pay me back double the next day." Sean made a long story short.

"You even wrote five cents in your ledger?"

"Anything connected to me gets recorded. I can't help it."

"And in one month, it became more than 1.7 billion?" Vanessa found it unbelievable.

"Yeah~ Ten cents on the second day, twenty cents on the third... and so on."

Sean's explanation immediately made Vanessa understand.

"If she didn't repay it today, it would be 3.4 billion tomorrow... I was really getting desperate, so I sent the bill to the school."

Vanessa sneered.

"Why didn't you send it earlier?"

"Well..." Sean could not hide that little scheme of his, but he had a reason.

"...I sent it out fifteen days ago~"

What could Vanessa say? He had sent it when the amount was not yet especially enormous. All she could say was that the United States postal service had doomed Lorna.

"Hm? You knew it would reach 1.7 billion fifteen days ago?" Vanessa suddenly realized.

"Here~ I tore it out of the ledger. It updates in real time~" Sean immediately explained. This misunderstanding absolutely could not stand.

Vanessa glared at Sean and said, "I know you can't erase the debt, but you need to convert it into another type, right? If it keeps doubling, how much bad debt will you end up with?"

How much? His ledger was basically all bad debt.

"Convert it into a long-term loan? She needs to be here in person for that. You don't expect me to go to the school, do you? I really don't want to."

"You don't have to go. Lorna will be coming over later~"

The moment Sean heard Lorna was coming, he became a little excited.

Vanessa immediately kicked him under the table. She knew her boyfriend too well. If she did not keep him in check, who knew how many superheroes and even supervillains would be related to him after a few decades!

And this guy had unlimited stamina... the heavens really had to be blind~

Sean acted as if he had not felt Vanessa's kick at all and instead stared at her.

"Nessa, can we discuss something?"

The moment Vanessa saw Sean's expression, she knew what he was thinking.

"No deal!"

Sean was not actually as lustful as Vanessa thought. He simply had difficulty restraining his own urges... o(￣▽￣)d

That was also somewhat related to his predecessor. The benefit of fully merging memories was that his mind was not a mess, but the downside was that his personality would be affected. Personality came from memories, after all~

Coupled with his top-tier girlfriend, he had no psychological burden at all about getting intimate with different women.

Vanessa might not have realized yet that she bore a great deal of responsibility for what her boyfriend had become.

Polaris, Lorna Dane, had come with Storm.

Storm, Ororo Munroe, did not think highly of Sean White. She strongly disliked Sean's loan sharking.

Honestly, Sean had been wronged. He had never intended to lend money to Polaris. She had borrowed five cents herself. If she had returned ten cents the next day, none of this would have happened. But that girl had... forgotten.

"Vanessa~" Storm hugged Vanessa, but completely ignored Sean.

Sean secretly curled his lip. Tonight, he would have Vanessa turn into her and punish her properly!

Only he could come up with such a method of achieving spiritual victory.

From the moment she entered, Polaris behind Storm had glared furiously at Sean, as if she wanted to give him a makeover with a handful of iron nails. That was how ruthless magnetism users were!

Would Sean care about that look? He had seen plenty of them on the subway in his previous life. So what if he had stolen a seat from some girl? She could glare at him the whole ride and he still would not be afraid!

He endured Polaris's murderous stare and carefully looked her over from head to toe twice.

After exchanging pleasantries, the four sat down on the sofa.

"What is going on with Lorna's bill?"

Storm demanded coldly.

If Vanessa had questioned him like that, Sean would certainly have cooperated. But who was Storm? They were not close.

Sean bumped Vanessa's shoulder and whispered, "Who is she talking to?"

Storm was so furious her eyes nearly turned white.

Vanessa helplessly gave Storm an apologetic smile, then said to Sean half-pleadingly and half-forcefully, "Can you cooperate a little?"

Sean curled his lips and shrugged, his tone lazy.

"Whatever it is, go ahead."

Ororo swore that he was the most irritating person she had ever met, without question.
