Chapter 23 Back to the Future

"The original owner of the power in his body." Howlett took a breath of enjoyment and slowly said the rest of the words.

"" Angela was stunned and speechless. Just when Howlett was breathing heavily, she felt that her heart was about to jump out.

"What are you talking about about the original owner of Angela's power?" Lorna walked around to Angela with some vigilance, habitually detecting the metal on the strange man in front of her.But this situation was something she had never encountered before.

"Oh my God, why are you covered in metal? All the bones in your body are made of metal. Are you also a mutant?"

Howlett took off the cigar from his mouth, looked at Lorna with his wolf-like eyes for a moment, and then said something nonsensical in a rough voice: "You have your father's eyes, little girl."

"Ah" Lorna was a little confused by this sudden sentence, "Who are you and why do you act like you know everything about us?"

"Who knows anything about you? I don't even know your names."

"You, you, you, you, you cough, cough."

"Lorna, don't worry, I don't think he has any ill intentions towards us." Angela patted Lorna on the back, gently waved her sleeves, and the cigar smoke drifted against the wind toward the door.

"Mr. Howlett, I believe you have a close relationship with Lorna's father, and you also met me when I was a baby."

"Qin" Howlett did not answer Angela's question immediately. He turned sideways, looked at the trajectory of the smoke that did not conform to the physical rules, and murmured a syllable.

"Why do I think this name sounds familiar to me, as if I've seen it somewhere recently." Lorna's innocent voice interrupted the dull atmosphere.

Howlett looked at the two men again and continued the conversation.

"Eric Lensher, I have dealt with him a lot. But to be precise, those are all stories that happened in the past and future. From a current perspective, he and I only worked together in 73. Once, he almost killed me."

"Ha" Lorna's expression was extremely wonderful, as if an impressionist master had mixed the two colors of "fascination" and "absurdity" and painted it on her face.

"Haha" Angela couldn't help but smile when she saw Lorna like this, and then planned to ask another question to resolve Lorna's doubts.

"So, Mr. Howlett, you are from the future."

"I've experienced a future that no one has experienced and will never experience again."

"Angela, please translate everything he said for me. I really can't understand it." Lorna took Angela's arm and turned it behind her. Her big eyes were as curious as a newborn kitten. He looked at Howlett.

"Lorna, what Mr. Howlett means is that the direction of the world's development has been changed. I think he has made our future better." Angela held Lorna's hand on her shoulder, Looking at Howlett with a smile.

"I know why Jean Gray chose you." Howlett returned the same smile.

"Lorna, go get a glass of wine." Angela waved her hand again, and a chair slid to the counter.

"Her choice is so right." Howlett sat down with satisfaction.

"Let's get acquainted formally, Mr. Howlett. My name is Angela Ziegler, and I guess you'll have to tell me my life story later. This is Lorna Dane, and her identity is the same as you just guessed. Same. We run the gift shop together.”

"You already know my name, so I won't say more." Howlett took the wine glass handed by Lorna.

"You fought with Captain America on the European battlefield in 44. More than 60 years have passed, and you don't seem to be much different from how you look in that photo."

"Ha, it seems that my life span is much longer than that of ordinary people." Howlett sipped his wine and clicked his tongue.

"Can you first tell me where you met me, Mr. Howlett?"

"Of course, but only if you stop calling me that. Just call me Logan. She keeps calling me that, and they all call me that."

"Who is she and who are they?" Lorna added some wine to the glass and seemed to be interested in the drinker's story.

"They are the X-Men, the X-Men who have disappeared in the past and the future." Howlett puffed out smoke, seemingly spitting out endless vicissitudes of life.

"Angela, translator translator."

"I think Logan was originally a member of the X-Men, but when he went back in time from the future, he never joined them again."

"I still don't quite understand"

"Let Logan tell his story later and you will understand. Now, let him tell my story."

"Ha" Howlett drank again and laughed like crazy, "I changed the destiny of the world, but I couldn't change my own. I was captured by the United States in a secret base, where they took me All the bones in my body were replaced with these dead metals, and they brainwashed me and erased my memory."

"Oh my god" Lorna covered her mouth and sighed.

"In 83, those little brats who had not yet become the My consciousness and memory also know all my stories, past and future, through my memory."

"I guess she's the one who gave me this power." Angela cleaned up the wine drops spilled on the table.

"Jean Grey, I finally remembered." Lorna put down the bottle and shook Angela's body. "I read it in the archives when I was training at SHIELD last month. Professor She may be the most powerful mutant, and can even predict the future. In fact, she destroyed Uncle Apocalypse Logan. What is the relationship between Phoenix Girl and Angela?"

"Uncle Logan" Howlett hesitated for a moment, then moved his gaze from Lorna to Angela, "You are another experimental subject they found in that base. Qin carried you and ran all the way, and finally caught up with me. .After reading my memory, Qin seemed to predict something. She poured part of her power into your body, and then transmitted a thought into my brain."

"When the Phoenix appears again to the world, find me"

"I didn't take this sentence seriously at first. I ran out of the base and they didn't stop me. I was confused for a long time. Qin and the X-Men were still the same group of people. But it seemed different to me. I saw that the world could finally live in harmony with mutants, and there was no longer any dispute between the professor and Magneto, so I took a long vacation for myself. Until I came to New York last month Watching the premiere of The Dark Knight, traces of the Phoenix Force were found on a pigeon.”

"You can sense the Phoenix Force"

"I think Jean was sending me more than just a message."

"And you've been lurking next to me for nearly a month."

"I don't. I know I don't have much time left to leave, and I don't have time to be your nanny. But don't worry, those people from the Hellfire Club have already left."

"Did you drive them away?"

"Originally I prepared a metal helmet, but they left on their own."

""

"Uncle Logan, why did you say Angela was an experimental subject?" Lorna had been a little absent-minded, and finally found a chance to interrupt.

"I don't know either. Qin seems to think that she is more adaptable to the Phoenix Force." Howlett thought about it carefully, but he didn't have a definite answer.

"Don't worry about me, Lorna. I know who I am with now and what I want to do in the future. Only these two points can define me. There is still a lot of wine left. Let's listen to Logan's own story."

"It's very bloody and violent. Girls, don't be frightened." Howlett smiled very happily. He suddenly felt that Qin was not asking him to find the reappearing Phoenix, but to find himself who was willing to throw himself into the future again. .
