The Great Winter Soldier

"Wake up, professor." Xia Tian came to the lounge and saw the professor with a gentle smile on his face, looking out the window at the quiet campus in a trance.

Beside, the handsome beast Hank was sitting on the sofa, silently guarding the professor.

"How is Qin?" The professor turned his head and greeted Xia Tian with a smile. The first thing he asked was Qin Gray, and then he saw Qin Gray walking in.

"I'm fine, professor." Qin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the professor's appearance. There was more gratitude in Xia Tian's eyes.

Originally, under the team template, her loyalty was 70. When she followed Xia Tian's advice, faced the Phoenix Force, and destroyed Apocalypse in a devastating way, her loyalty soared upwards like a rocket, directly reaching 85 points. the height of.

In the next two days, Wanda gave her the Heart Stone and taught her carefully and considerately. She also mentioned many times that this was what Xia Tian meant. It was Xia Tian who asked her to give the stone to Qin Gray. When helping her relieve nightmares at night and enhance her strength, Qin Gray's loyalty finally exceeded the 90-point mark, which is exactly 90 points, neither high nor low.

From this moment on, as long as Xia Tian doesn't do anything outrageous or something that goes against Qin Gray's will, this girl will never betray Xia Tian.

After seeing the professor's gradual recovery, that is, now, on the team template, under Qin Gray's avatar, the loyalty increased by 3 points, reaching 93.

When you meet a team member who is grateful and sensible, your loyalty will increase so quickly. I'm afraid this is also because Qin Gray is still a girl. Think about Wesley, the helmsman of Xia Tian's money empire. His loyalty is still over 70 points...

The professor looked at Qin Gray with kind eyes and saw her energetic appearance, which was very different from her usual haggard appearance that was troubled by her abilities. The professor was also overjoyed. However, a few seconds later, the professor suddenly remembered something. , asked hurriedly: "Eric, how is Eric?"

"I returned to Poland with him and helped him get his daughter's life back from the God of Death." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Oh, Xia Tian." The professor looked slightly moved and said softly, "I really don't know how to thank you."

"Let me take Jean Gray away." Xia Tian shrugged and said.

"Ah" the professor was stunned for a moment, what is going on? Are you kidding me?

"Haha." Qin Gray covered her mouth with one hand and couldn't help but chuckle, with a mischievous smile on her face. At such a young age, she had lost all her gloom and looked energetic and cheerful. Youthful and beautiful, everything is so beautiful.

Maybe Xia Tian should seize the time to take a second look at Qin Gray, who is still in her youth. She has a girl-next-door aura about her. In a few years, once the goddess becomes aloof, she will be aloof and repulsive.

"That's what you mean," the professor looked at Qin Gray and said softly, "You know my commitment to the students has always remained unchanged. When you graduate from here, when you can think about problems independently and mature mentally, you You can make any choice, return to your family, return to the neighborhood, or stay in school. But... you are my outstanding student and the most irreplaceable candidate among the X-Men. I suggest that you still Stay with me and let me help you.”

The professor still behaves like a humble gentleman to everyone, and his character is fully demonstrated in these words. He will not force anyone, but he will provide you with some suggestions, and the ultimate goal is for your own good. The professor will put several options in front of you and let you choose.

However, the professor cares about the child Qin Gray more than anyone else. It is all because of the Phoenix power in Qin Gray's body, so the professor still desperately hopes that Qin Gray can stay by his side. The professor will try his best to Anything to help her get through it.

"You saw my team." Xia Tian suddenly said, preventing Qin Gray from responding.

"Unity, loyalty." The professor looked at Xia Tian, ​​with a hint of admiration in his tone, and added, "Firm faith and full cohesion."

"You also saw what I did in this world." Xia Tian continued.

Of course the professor understood what Xia Tian meant, and even knew what kind of words Xia Tian was about to say, but the professor was not like politicians and others who used every means to discredit the other party to achieve their own goals when negotiating.

The professor remained upright and said sincerely: "What you have done has benefited the world. You have my gratitude. In fact, it should be the gratitude of everyone."

"My team members come from all worlds, even from all universes. They are willing to continue to move forward for this belief, and I am the same." Xia Tian looked at Qin Gray and said softly, "Just like when I recruit other team members So, here, I met her.”

Xia Tian continued: "She is very special, and her energy is enough to destroy the world. When this energy is used for good, it is the luck of the world. Just like I found that in a world A treasure that can resurrect the dead, and in another world, I also found a treasure that can help Qin."

Xia Tian nodded to Qin Gray. Qin Gray understood and took out the brilliant gem that exuded golden light in her arms.

The professor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he never looked away since he saw the gem.

"It has almost infinite energy, enough to balance the greed of the Phoenix Force. It can also nourish Qin Gray's body and mind, allowing her to slowly become stronger and finally reach a consensus with the power in her body." Xia Tian said, "Every time Every world has its own magic, and I believe there will be more things that can help Jean Gray. I want her to join us to help more people and herself."

The professor sighed slowly, his voice trembling: "My God... what kind of gem is this..."

"Professor, I brought Magneto and his daughter here. I think 7-year-old little Nina is very suitable for your school." Xia Tian said.

"Yeah." The professor was stunned for a moment. The topic Xia Tian was talking about was too exciting.

"This is an opportunity. Maybe little Nina can bring you and Magneto closer together. You should seize this opportunity. Why not play a good game of chess with him like you did before?" Xia Tian suggested.

"You know our common hobbies." The professor smiled and shook his head, "Oh, yes, maybe you really know."

"Maybe the way you treat the world is also somewhat wrong, and the way Magneto treats the world is also somewhat wrong. If you can neutralize it, I believe you will make this world a better place." Xia Tian said.

The professor frowned slightly and did not respond.

"I'm sorry." Xia Tian said apologetically, "It's always easy to judge a person. Just say it casually and just open your mouth. One sentence can judge a person's life, and one sentence can negate all a person's efforts. I am too That’s reckless.”

"Don't be like this, kid." The professor shook his head, indicating that he did not blame Xia Tian.

Xia Tian organized his thoughts. He had killed Colonel Stryker, the source of chaos and evil in the world. He also brought Magneto to school and brought him back to the professor. He even brought Magneto's daughter Nina back and convinced Magneto to let Nina receive a good education and grow up safely here. With such a bridge, I believe these two mutant kings can communicate more calmly.

Xia Tian has done everything he can, and the rest can only be decided by the parties concerned.

"I like this world. The 80s was very ancient and beautiful. It has not experienced too many ups and downs, and it has not experienced more world crises. I will protect this universe." Xia Tian looked at Qin Gray, "Especially after she joins my team, this world will become our focus. There are many mutant worlds, but few are peaceful and stable. Maybe you can do this, Professor."

"We can do this, I'm full of hope." The professor nodded with a gentle smile on his face. He was grateful for everything Xia Tian had done for him, for the mutant community, and for the world. .

"Kid, you have seen the strength of their team, and you have also seen that they are indeed capable of helping you. I am sorry that I have not been able to get you out of your nightmare in the past ten years of your growth. If you are willing to go and see I will not stop you from the outside world." The professor's words were full of sincerity and a hint of loneliness. "I will work harder. When you come back, your hometown will be as beautiful as ever. .”

"Professor." Qin Gray was suddenly at a loss for words. She came to the professor's bed, squatted down, and held the professor's palm with both hands.

"We will come back from time to time." Xia Tian sighed. In so many parallel universes, the worlds of mutants eventually came to an end. This one, which had just entered the 80s, was still a young sprout. If cared for carefully, it said It may become the most unique mutant universe.

Just like Summer once saved Wolverine and Magneto.

There are countless Wolverines and Magnetos in countless parallel universes. Their fates are all so miserable and desolate. Does it really make sense to save this one alone? But for Xia Tian, ​​it does make sense.

When people think of the Winter Soldier, what do they think of?

Cold, killing, destroying, subverting.

Now that I'm here, I would like to give the codename "Winter Soldier" a deeper meaning.

Building a new order in days of destruction and subversion.

In a life of coldness and murder, a flower of hope grows.
