Clones? Visitors from parallel universes?
Peter gritted his teeth, no matter what shocking secret was hidden behind it, one thing is absolutely certain - Mind Stone must not fall into unknown hands.
He must find them.
Immediately, immediately.
With the support of Felicia and Wanda, Peter moved back to the mansion step by step. The tearing dizziness in his mind finally subsided, but there was still a dull buzzing in his ears.
As soon as they passed through the foyer, Charles·Xavier and Ororo·Monroe rushed over.
"Peter, what happened?" Professor Xavier's eyes fell on Peter's pale face, his expression solemn.
Peter was helped to sit down on the steps of the central staircase. He rubbed his temples and smiled bitterly, "The gem was stolen, Charles... I couldn't stop them."
Xavier's pupils suddenly shrank. "Stolen? How is this possible! Didn't you say that no one can open that storage box except you?"
"I also want to know why." Peter breathed out heavily, "The boy in the lead has a face exactly like mine, but his hair is silver-white, and he is younger. I suspect... it may be a clone made by Hydra, because the red-haired girl following him looks almost like Qin."
Wanda folded his arms and leaned against the armrest, and sneered, "Clone you, and then clone Qin? Who has such technology and motivation, do you still need to think about the answer?"
Ororo's eyes were slightly cold. "Hydra?"
"Inseparable." Peter nodded, "Apart from them, I can't think of anyone who knows that the gem is in my hands and has the ability to resort to such methods."
Xavier turned the wheelchair with an extremely serious face. "The gem must be taken back as soon as possible. If that kind of thing falls into the hands of Hydra, the consequences will be disastrous."
"I understand." Peter stood up with force, "But I need to slow down for two minutes... The little girl's roar just now almost shook my brain."
Ororo patted Peter on the shoulder, turned to the other two girls and said, "Felicia, go call Scott and Rogue, we need to prepare to attack."
Felicia's expression suddenly became a little weird. "Uh...Ororo, Scott, I'm afraid I won't be able to go on missions for the time being."
"What's going on?"
"He's drunk." Wanda revealed it directly without any scruples.
Ororo's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and his stern eyes swept over the people present. Felicia shrank his neck and laughed dryly, "Swallowing a few raw eggs should help you sober up. I'll call him right away!" After that, he ran to Scott's dormitory on the first floor.
Ororo took a deep breath, calmed down, and looked at Wanda: "Wanda, although this is not your responsibility, it is a matter of great importance, and we may need your assistance."
"Count me in." Wanda agreed without hesitation.
Peter glanced at her in surprise.
Wanda looked calm. "That stone gave me power, and I know better than anyone how dangerous it is. More than Hydra, I want to understand how those three brats deceived your security system."
"In that case, let's put on the equipment." Peter handed over the folded Unstable Molecules combat uniform, "This trip is no joke."
Ororo looked at Peter: "Can you track their whereabouts?"
"The signal of the gem itself has been completely blocked by me, but my car can track it." Peter's eyes flashed, "The car will eject a trace of meson trails outwards when flying. As long as you follow the remaining meson particle tracks and search, you can lock the location."
"Very good, I'll go pick up the children at the dance." Ororo turned around and walked towards the hangar resolutely.
Twenty minutes later.
The invisible Blackbird slowly landed in the open space outside the high school dance venue.
The hatch opened, and Logan, Kurt, Evan, Kitty and Qin quickly boarded the fighter plane. Qin didn't even She had time to change out of her elegant gray dress and rushed straight to Peter as soon as she entered the cabin, her eyes full of anxiety. "Peter! Are you injured? What happened?"
"Someone broke into the laboratory and took Mind Stone away." Wanda added calmly from the back seat.
Qin's face suddenly changed. "How could this happen?!"
"Tonight was supposed to be my highlight moment!" Kitty angrily opened the locker in the back and looked at the all-white combat uniforms inside, "So where are we going to fight now? Where is my uniform?"
"Put on those special combat uniforms, they are bulletproof." Peter called up the particle tracking interface of the airborne radar. However, when the light spot representing the contrail finally settled on the center of the Manhattan holographic map, his brows instantly knitted into a knot.
"Why did it stop there?" Qin Minato stepped forward and looked at the screen.
"They went straight to the Manhattan center..." Peter stared at the familiar coordinates and whispered, "The target is Baxter Building."
Felicia was a little confused. "What are they doing there? Fantastic Four's headquarters?"
"If it is really Hydra, they may need more advanced equipment to analyze gems." Peter tapped on the communicator, "Sassy, help me pick up Susan·Storm."
A long busy tone came from the communication channel, and finally it was transferred to a voice message.
Peter hung up the communication, his expression became increasingly serious. "Susan didn't answer the phone, something must have happened internally at Baxter Building."
Logan was sitting in the safety seat, his face was a little blue, and he was obviously extremely uncomfortable with flying at high altitudes. He bared his teeth coldly. "Then stop talking nonsense and be prepared for a tough battle."
Blackbird hovered silently above the rooftop of Baxter Building under the cover of night.
The hatch was lowered, and Peter jumped out first, and the optical camouflage on the surface of the suit instantly activated. Qin, Logan, Felicia and others followed closely behind, while Ororo stayed on the fighter plane to be responsible for air suppression and response.
The emergency safety door leading to the core area of the building requires a very high authority password, but under Peter's skillful operation, the thick airtight door made a soft sound and slowly slid open.
There was dead silence in the corridor.
Peter and Logan stopped almost at the same time, and the tips of their noses twitched slightly at the same time.
"Something's wrong." Logan lowered his voice and his eyes became extremely sharp.
"What's wrong?" Kurt cautiously stuck his head out.
"There is no smell here." Peter said coldly, "There is no smell of disinfectant water, no smell of oil from the air-conditioning circulation system, nothing. Someone deliberately used a certain stance to smooth out all traces of smell on this floor."
Zheng!
The Adamantium sharp claw on the back of Logan's hand popped out instantly, and the bone spurs on Peter's wrist also shone coldly.
