Were You Just Talking to Me?

"Dude, did I hear that right? You actually said he's gotten ugly?"

Deadpool seemed to have heard a funny joke, ripped off his red Black Mask, and pointed to his muscular face. "Look here, this is what you call ugly, unless you like round-faced monsters."

"..."

Russell thought Deadpool had a point, but he wouldn't agree with a Silly Bird's opinion, so he stuck to his own.

For adults, right and wrong are sometimes not important; what matters is attitude. One should be consistent and see things through to the end!

The two engaged in a heated debate about the looks of actors from different generations, going back and forth for dozens of rounds. Finding that their abilities were evenly matched and neither could convince the other, they had no choice but to compromise and shake hands in reconciliation.

Finding common ground while respecting differences leads to the conclusion that both generations of Mystique are alright, because they are both quite large.

On the bus, the Mutants children laughed Playful Trick, enthusiastically discussing the legendary Mutant Academy and listing their most admired X-Men.

Logan once again took on the role of driver, and the two Silly Bird ' "big" topics made him want to join the chat group, but Laura was watching from the side, so he could only hold the steering wheel meticulously and show a disdainful expression.

Professor X had his eyes closed, a slight smile playing on his lips. Considering his abilities, he was perhaps having a private conversation with an old friend.

As the bus pulled up to the entrance of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, the children's cheers abruptly ceased, and they all slumped into their seats, fast asleep. This sight startled Logan immediately extended his claws and entered battle mode.

"Logan, don't worry, I did it."

Professor X reached out and patted the child's head beside him, saying with pity, "A new life is about to begin. They should be happy every day, not burdened by a painful past. So, I helped them forget some things."

"Charles, is your 'good-natured' syndrome acting up again?" Logan withdrew his claws and sneered, "Then you'd better be prepared to never hear them call you 'Grandpa Charles' again."

"No, I've memorized their voices. Beautiful things never fade." Professor X smiled at Logan, "Old friend, I'll find you a Gardener's job at the university so you can take care of Laura. Ready to start a new life?"

Clang!

Without a word, Logan extended all six of his claws, his face filled with murderous intent, and said, "If you dare to tamper with my memories, I will hate you for the rest of my life."

"Logan, Laura needs you more than I do," Professor X advised.

Logan sneered, strode forward, and pressed his claws against Professor X's carotid artery. "Old man, my affairs are none of your business. Mind your own business first!"

Negotiations reached a stalemate. Logan was unwilling to retire, and Professor X cherished their friendship and couldn't bring himself to erase his memories.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Russell, a member of the crowd, clapped his hands and said, "Professor, I know you mean well, but Logan is now a member of the X-Force. If you want to tamper with his brain, you need our permission first."

"That's right, Logan is the squad's private property, and only I have the right to dispose of him."

Deadpool nodded repeatedly, supporting his teammate. "Of course, if you can turn Logan into Deadpool's ashes, then there's no problem."

"Shut up, Wade!"

"..."

Upon seeing this, Professor X woke Laura from her coma and made her choose whether to stay at the school with her friends and live a carefree life, or to continue wandering with him and Logan.

Logan stared intently at his pup, his eyes wide and his expression serious, just like the Husky when it wasn't in the mood.

Laura frowned slightly, looked at Logan, opened her mouth, and finally grabbed Professor X's hand. "I want to stay with Grandpa Charles. Wherever you go, I'll go."

"Hehehe..."

Logan chuckled upon hearing this, believing that Laura had chosen him, but only used Professor X as a shield because of her arrogant and aloof persona.

"Good girl..." Professor X smiled slightly. Laura would receive her education at the academy, but it would be postponed for a while.

The group got off the bus, and a short while later, a limousine pulled up. The driver opened the door and invited them to get in, then drove off toward the airport.

"I've booked a plane, Russell, can you fly?"

"It's alright. Just tell me directly, what model of Star Destroyer?"

"..."

After the others left, Phoenix Woman, pushed a long-haired version of Professor X, Charles, to the academy gate. Seeing the car full of unconscious Mutants children, Jean gasped and rushed forward to check on them.

Charles stared blankly at all of this, vaguely sensing something. He closed his eyes and activated his Mind Stone ability, locking onto a glimmer of light in the infinite darkness.

It's very bright!

In the instant the light turned away, Charles only had time to see a pair of wise and experienced eyes before his consciousness was forced back into his body. At the same time, an incomparably powerful spiritual energy invaded, instantly destroying his defenses and leaving a message in his mind.

"Hello, Charles..."

"Glug!"

Charles swallowed hard, and when he came to his senses, his back was soaked with cold sweat. He shakily raised his head, wanting to contact the other party again, but ultimately chose to give up because he was afraid of that powerful Mind Stone force.

Qin walked over with a worried expression. "Professor, I found cruel traces of human experimentation on these children, and their memories have been altered, they have forgotten many things... Professor, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm fine..."

Charles licked his dry lips. "Jin, could you please arrange the children's food and lodging? If their memories cannot be recovered, please do not force it, so as not to hurt them. I... I will have Hank come and help you."

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly left, preparing to use the Cerebro to find the mysterious person. A Mind Stone with the ability to instantly dismantle his mental defenses was simply terrifying.

Fortunately, judging from the other party's words and actions, there seemed to be no malice.

In the limousine, Deadpool was babbling on and on to the driver. The guy was hypnotized by Professor X and wouldn't react to anything he said. Deadpool, not believing it, decided to use his silver tongue to get him to respond.

Russell glanced at Professor X: "How about it, greeting your past self is quite interesting, isn't it?"

Professor X nodded. "That's right! But he's still too young and has a lot to learn."

"Could you tell me the destination of the private jet?"

"Poland!" Professor X's target was Magneto, or more precisely, Erik Lehnsherr, the Magneto of this world.

"I see."

Russell recalls the plot: Erik's wife and daughter were accidentally killed by the town police who were chasing him because his identity was exposed. In his grief, Erik vowed to take revenge on society, which allowed Apocalypse to take advantage of the situation and use his powers to kill countless humans, exacerbating the conflict between humans and Mutants.

"Professor, as someone with experience, I must remind you that we are not traversing a timeline, but another universe. No matter what you have done or how many tragedies you have changed, the world you are in is irreversible." Russell said seriously, "Moreover, changing familiar plots will trigger a series of changes and could very likely cause things to develop in a worse direction. You can refer to Wade for details. You should be mentally prepared."

"Thank you, I appreciate your kindness..." Professor X looked out the car window at the shaded trees, his aged voice filled with unwavering determination. "I am ready for this hopeful new world."

Poland!

In an ordinary small town, there is an ordinary steel mill, and an ordinary worker named Henrik has lived here for almost ten years.

To outsiders, he was a good neighbor, a good employee, a good husband, an honest and simple person, and even a bit introverted and not fond of socializing.

Only Henrik himself knew that he was no ordinary man; he was Erik Lehnsherr, a fugitive wanted by the authorities, Magneto with blood on his hands.

Unlike a certain dark lord who plays the role of a lurker, Erik's transformation was not for the purpose of conquering anyone; in fact, he had already been conquered.

An evil demon called "Wife" and a Coldblood creditor called "Daughter" are working together to suppress him. Currently, his family status is firmly at the bottom, and the day he can turn things around is far away. He can only wait for many years to see a brave man called "Son-in-law" appear.

People must pay the price for their actions, no matter when or where!

Erik was hurt as a child, so when he grew up, all those who hurt him were dead.

Similarly, when he hurt others and wanted to live a life of anonymity, the price he paid came as expected.

Erik had lived in the town for many years. In an accident today, he kindly saved the life of a coworker. His ability was exposed, which made him uneasy. He returned home and ran away with his wife and children.

The police arrived just in time. Knowing Magneto's power, the police had no metal on them and even replaced their weapons with wooden bows and arrows.

Erik didn't want to implicate his wife and children, so he tried to downplay the situation. The police also didn't want to go too far. Living in the same small town, they were very familiar with Erik's family and turned a blind eye, letting his wife and daughter go.

The incident should have ended there, but Erik's daughter, Nina, could not bear her father's arrest. Her intense emotional turmoil triggered her Mutants abilities, causing her to control birds in the forest to attack the police.

Unexpected events followed one after another. A policeman was pecked on the arm by a bird and accidentally shot an arrow that pierced through a mother and daughter who were embracing each other.

Rumble!!

A thunderbolt streaked across the sky!

Erik's mind went blank, and the police were stunned. No one had expected things to develop this way.

"Nina! Nina... why is it my family again? Why me again?"

Erik embraced his wife and daughter, noticing their breathing was fading. Tears streamed down his face. He raised his head in grief and rage, roaring at the sky, "Bastard, is this what you wanted to see?"

Rumble!!

Lightning swept through the mountains and forests, and dense raindrops fell with a roar. But the next second, the torrential rain was frozen in mid-air, with each raindrop motionless.

"..."

The police officers huddled together, on high alert, watching Magneto's rampage and killings while scanning their surroundings. It seemed... another Mutants had appeared.

Thunder roared, and a beam of light shot down from the sky, its holy radiance touching the heart.

Erik stared wide-eyed in disbelief as the arrow that had pierced his wife and daughter turned into white flames and burned away, enveloping the two of them in light. His heart began to beat strongly again.

Russell spread his wings and landed, looking down at the silly couple, Erik: "Excuse me! I was flying in the sky when I suddenly heard someone cursing 'bastard.' I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to know if you were talking to me?"

Erik: "..."
