In the living room of Qin·Grey's house, the smell of the melee just now still lingers in the air.
A few girls were huddled on the sofa, with tinfoil hats on their heads and their fingers wringing uneasily. Those things couldn't stop the real strong ones, but time was tight, and Peter could only do this one step first.
Logan and Ororo stood on both sides of Charles·Xavier. Erik was still unconscious, tightly tied up by Silk, the strongest Peter, and paralyzed to the side. Peter himself was sitting on the recliner, staring at his phone.
"What are you doing?" Logan asked in a low voice.
"Call S.H.I.E.L.D.." Peter raised his chin and motioned to Magneto on the ground, "Let them prepare the cage."
"I don't think this is wise." Charles said.
Peter raised his eyes and looked at him. "First, I don't care whether you like it or not. Second, this matter is non-negotiable."
He connected the call to his helmet, the ring rang twice, and David answered.
"What's the matter?"
"Magneto, do you know this person?"
"What?! Why?! Peter, don't do anything stupid! What happened?"
"Earlier tonight, Magneto attacked me and my friends. He is now unconscious in Jean Grey's living room. Tell Fury to prepare a cell - no ferromagnetic metals, titanium alloys are okay, but they have to be treated. Come quickly, I don't know how long he can sleep."
"What?! What the hell are you--"
Peter hangs up directly. Annoying.
"Don't worry, Peter." The bald man said calmly, "I'm putting him in an artificial coma at the moment, and he won't be able to wake up for a while."
Peter narrowed his eyes. "Don't call me that."
Charles was stunned. "What... what?"
"I wear this clothes for a reason, you bald idiot." Peter suppressed his anger, "Why don't you just broadcast my secret identity to the whole world?"
"Sorry, he...Spider-Man." Charles immediately changed his words, "It won't happen again."
"I don't believe it."
"I'm not used to reading other people's minds casually." Charles sighed, looking at Felicia, "Miss Hardy, I'm really sorry, I had no choice at the time."
Felicia shook slightly.
"Don't look at her!" Peter growled, "If a person breaks the bottom line once for his purpose, he will break it a second time. Since you want to be Mutants's peaceful leader, then act like a leader."
"Be respectful, kid." Logan threatened in a low voice.
"You suddenly broke in and revealed my secret." Peter asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Because Miss Grey." Charles smiled at Qin, "I only discovered her ability recently. I didn't expect that Erik also noticed it."
"Discovered? How did you discover it?" Qin couldn't help but ask.
"A machine that can detect Mutants." Charles explained, "The moment your ability awakens, it captures your existence."
"A giant Mutants detector." Peter rolled his eyes, "It will never be abused, right?"
Logan chuckled, "This guy has a bad mouth."
Charles was helpless. "Indeed."
"Are you looking for me to recruit me like Magneto?" Qin asked.
"Of course not." Charles shook his head, "I want to teach you. I have a school in the northern part of New York state that specializes in helping talented Mutants control their abilities and learn to live in harmony with humans. Qin, I really hope you can join us."
"Me... me?" Qin was stunned.
Charles nodded and then closed his eyes. Qin took a sharp breath. "You... what are you doing?"
The bald man made no sound. After a moment, Qin slowly closed her eyes.
Logan growled irritably, "I just hate them being like this."
"What's wrong?" Mary·Jian asked.
"Mind Stone sense communication." Peter sighed, "Very rude."
"Just get used to it." Ororo finally spoke. She looked at Peter and the girls and smiled gently, "Hello, I am Ororo Monroe. This is Logan. We are all teachers at the school."
"You... are also Mutants?" Liz·Allan's voice was still a little trembling, but his courage slowly came back.
"Yes." Ororo nodded, "I can control the weather. Rain, snow, whatever I want."
Logan snorted, raised his hand, and thrust out the metal claw. "I'm nothing special."
Only then did Peter take a serious look at him - he was shorter and had a wider build. Judging from his attire, X-Men in this world looked more like someone from a certain animation. But he had already done something about it, so the timeline was probably already off.
"I said, Maoqiu, why do you always growl?" Peter asked.
Logan raised his eyebrows and roared again.
"Look, what did I say?"
Ororo chuckled. Logan also twitched the corner of his mouth.
The next second, Liz shouted out like an explosion, "Peter! You are actually Spider-Man!"
Peter leaned back in his chair. "Finally figured it out?"
"But, how could it happen?! When?! Why?!"
"Peter, how long have you been Spider-Man?" Mary Jane looked up and down at his suit.
"Since the day Hulk destroyed Harlem." Peter nodded, "I told you to help, but actually I was going to stop those two big guys."
"Wait, are you the guy in the red and blue hoodie? The one who stopped the gray Abomination?" Logan asked.
"Yes."
Ororo eyes widened slightly. "Amazing."
"It's nothing." Peter shrugged, "I just blocked its airway and suffocated it."
"So are you really Spider-Man?!" Liz hasn't recovered yet.
"Yes, Liz, I am. I will explain the details later. Now let's talk about Qin clearly."
Liz covered his mouth, his mind obviously spinning.
Mary·Jian turned to Felicia, with a sour tone in her voice. "You knew this a long time ago?"
Felicia smiled faintly, "Of course, why don't you know?"
Mary·Jian immediately stared at Peter: "Why tell her but not me?! I am your oldest friend!"
"I trust her more."
Mary·Jian Xiang was stabbed. "You... don't trust me?"
"Trust, really. But this matter is too big. And you were still dating Harry at that time. I don't dare to bet on whether you will keep the secret."
"Peter, I would never do that!" Mary Jian said anxiously, "No matter what, I am your oldest friend. You could have told me anything!"
"I'm sorry. We'll talk about this later." Peter turned his eyes back to Qin and Charles, "Deal with the matter in front of you first."
Qin opened her eyes and exhaled. "It's so weird."
Charles smiled, "Conversing with Mind Stone is faster and more free."
"Well, I understand what you mean."
"So, Jean, have you thought about it?"
"I... I accept." Qin said slowly.
"What?!" Liz jumped up, "Qin, you can't go with them! You heard Peter said, he read Felicia's heart! He also read ours!"
Qin nodded. "I know. But I have to learn, Liz. I have to know my own limits... I can't do it here."
Peter stood up and stared at Charles: "Do you know what is the biggest problem with your choice? You can't tell whether she is making the decision herself or the person who can control people's hearts is making the decision for her."
"I promise you, Spider-Man, I will never manipulate a student like that."
"Students? What about the others? We don't count?"
"I mean, I won't force anyone to enroll." Charles remained calm.
Peter knows that he is a bit unreasonable. But who cares, this man has forcibly invaded his girlfriend's consciousness.
"Qin, you can't leave." Mary Jane's voice softened, "At times like this... we need you."
Qin lowered her head. "No, Mary·Jian, you don't need it. Peter can protect you. And I... before I figure out my own abilities, I am of no use to anyone."
"Don't say that." Felicia interjected, "Peter didn't become like this on the first day. He spent a lot of time training and learned to control his abilities little by little. You can do it too."
"But we all know that Peter is different." Qin smiled at him, "I still can't believe you are Spider-Man."
Peter also laughed, "You will see it sooner or later, Qin. You always think too low of yourself and have too low self-esteem."
"Qin, do you really want to leave?" Liz asked.
