[Comprehensive British and American] Daniel Phillips

Chap.64 The Escaped Mutants

Maura MacTaggert took a deep breath before making up her mind to open the iron door in front of her.She never thought she would come to this place.As a senior agent of the FBI, she has long known the existence of this school, but after all, the gap between mutants and ordinary people is too great, but for her son, she must ask for help from the most authoritative person.In the empty yard, a couple was sitting in the shade of a tree and kissing. She glanced at it and was not sure whether the couple were students at the Xavier School for Young Talents or teachers here.

Daniel had already noticed the presence of Maura MacTaggart, and he gently pushed Bucky's hand to let him let go of his jaw, before standing up and giving a slight nod to the lady who was walking towards them.

"Do you know where Mr. Charles Xavier is now?" Maura MacTaggart asked holding an old business card. She was also very sorry for disturbing their behavior, but the disappearance of her son made her There was no way she wouldn't do it.

Judging by Daniel's outstanding eyesight, this is a business card with the school address, contact person's name and phone number printed on it, which is usually only issued to mutants and their family members, which means that the lady in front of him or her family members should be mutants people.Daniel helped Bucky up and said, "He should be in his office at this time, but I'm not sure."

"Can you take me there? I have something very important to ask him for help." Maura MacTaggart almost begged, which made Daniel unable to refuse.

Bucky, on the other hand, was unhappy. After finally waiting for Pietro and Eric Lanshere to leave, the students also went to class, and there were only the two of them left in the whole yard. He just wanted to have a good time outside with Daniel. For hours, why is it so difficult?

"Don't be angry," Daniel put the basket of food in Bucky's hand, "We still have a lot of time."

Bucky nodded reluctantly, but being spoiled by Daniel, he turned a childish temper and turned a blind eye to Maura MacTaggart's apologetic gaze.Considering his injury, Daniel originally wanted to send Bucky back to the room, but Bucky had a premonition that Maura MacTaggart's arrival would not be easy, so he rejected Daniel's proposal.In desperation, Daniel could only lead the two of them to Charles Xavier's office.

The office full of classic atmosphere is a warm scene. Wanda and Pietro are fighting for the last fried egg, but they are defeated by the intervention of Eric Lanshere. The fried egg finally belongs to Charles Xavier .The elegant and handsome Professor X accepted his friend's kindness with a smile, and sent Eric Lanshere another cup of coffee.When Daniel led the people in, he happened to see the two looking at each other. He cleared his throat, breaking the silence of the room.

Eric Lanshere turned his head in displeasure, raised his eyebrows in surprise, took a sip of coffee and said, "It's you, Maura MacTaggart."

The FBI agent looked at the legendary wanted criminal in amazement, wondering how the other party knew his name.Her suspicious gaze shifted from Eric Lanshere to Charles Xavier, as if assessing whether the acclaimed Professor X was harboring a crime against the President.

The name that Eric Lanshel blurted out caused a slight ripple in Charles' peaceful mood. He manipulated the wheelchair and turned to look at the still beautiful female agent, but his thoughts returned to the scene when the three of them first met 20 years ago.But soon he came back to his senses, smiled and said to Wanda and Pietro: "Go back first, don't let Eric catch you skipping class."

The twins looked at each other, quickly put down the milk in their hands, walked out under Eric Lanshere's gaze, and closed the office door smoothly.But Daniel could clearly feel that the twins hadn't gone far, at least he could still hear Pietro's yelling clearly.

"Why did you come?" Eric Lanshere was preposterous, and looked at Maura MacTaggart with an aggressive look—he had never done anything good for this female agent who indirectly caused Charles' legs to be disabled. "I thought you would never step here again until you die."

Eric Lanshere's familiar attitude caused Maura to have more doubts. You must know that she never had any memory of Westchester, but the looks of the two people in front of her told her that the truth was not As she remembered, they should have known each other a long time ago.

"Eric." Charles stopped his friend, and he shook his head at him, making Magneto reluctantly step aside before saying, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes!" Maura MacTaggart cast all doubts behind her love for her son, "My son Kevin, he is missing. There's no trace of him. He's a mutant, too powerful, and I don't know where else to turn for help."

After the Cuban incident, Charles erased all of Mora's memories about himself, and the love and affection he had when he was young and frivolous eventually turned into powder with the passage of time.Even Eric Lanshere was a little stunned. He didn't know what happened after he broke with Charles, and he didn't know that their relationship ended without a problem.

"Come with me," Charles Xavier turned the wheelchair and took Maura to a small suite connected to the office, "you can talk to me slowly."

After sending away the exhausted Maura MacTaggart, Charles Xavier summoned Raven and others, and Daniel and Bucky participated in the meeting as non-staff at Charles' request.

"Kevin Mark Taggart, I've heard of this name before." Daniel said after pouring a cup of black tea and handing it to Bucky. The damage was too high, and this task was forced to give up." He was once one of the candidates for this task, but due to his ability riot, he was re-frozen, and he didn't wake up until this year.

"Why did they grab him?" Raven said, putting her leg on her boyfriend's lap.

"Because he's special." Bucky had obviously heard of that mission as well.During his time as the Winter Soldier, he was not always frozen. When he was still able to move freely, he also heard the name of Kevin mentioned by Alexander Pierce's men. The special nature of his mutant talent made him a The experimental subject that many Hydra researchers dream of, "He can become a pure energy body and live on others, and can change the host at will to absorb the vitality of others."

"Mola also told me that Kevin's ability was awakened when he was a teenager. The energy was too strong and kept tearing his body apart. As a last resort, Mora placed Kevin in a secret laboratory to maintain the entity of his body. However, this laboratory was invaded not long ago, and Kevin took the opportunity to escape and has since disappeared.” Charles Xavier clasped his fingers in front of his stomach, “Unfortunately, since Kevin is now an energy body, I have no There is no way to find his correct position through the brain domain energy meter."

"Did Mora bring any experimental data about Kevin?" Hank pushed his glasses and asked, "Maybe I can find some clues from it, after all, it is not a good thing for ordinary people to let him go outside. "

"The experimental data was destroyed when the laboratory was invaded, and even the top programmers of the FBI couldn't restore it." Charles Xavier shook his head.

"That means we have no way to find this mutant right now." Rui Wen lowered her head and fiddled with her newly made nails. "Where is her husband?"

"They are already divorced, and Mora has called the police, but the police are still helpless about this matter." Charles Xavier looked at Rui Wen with soft eyes, "Ri Wen, I know you don't like Mora, but Kevin is our countryman and we must get him back."

Ruiwen curled her lips, but sat upright obediently.

"I think it's impossible for him to keep wandering around in the form of an energy body all the time. Even Wanda and I, the energy body we created can only last for a while. As a teenager who was locked up in the laboratory As a mutant, without training, it is impossible for him to completely control his overpowering abilities." Daniel said, "If he wants to survive, he must find a suitable host."

The host who can adapt to powerful energy must also be an equally powerful mutant, this cognition made everyone present a little worried.Charles Xavier didn't want to believe that the son Mora taught would be a mutant who would harm his fellow man, but now he was helpless.

Eric Lanshere, who had been silent all this time, said at this moment: "Do you know who invaded the laboratory?"

"Mola said that this matter is still under investigation." Charles looked up at Eric, "What can you do?"

Eric Lanshel, quickly overwhelmed by the gaze of Charles's watery blue eyes, sighed and said, "If we knew who had broken into the lab, we'd have someone to track down." It is impossible for someone to destroy the entire laboratory just for fun, and their goal must be Kevin. Once Kevin escapes, they will definitely track him down and try to capture him."

Daniel suddenly thought of Hydra.But now Alexander Pierce is fully focused on the "Insight Plan", and he does not have this experience to plan this operation.But if not him, who else?

The author has something to say: Kevin Mark Taggart, "Proteus", is the most troublesome enemy of the X-Men, even defeated Uncle Wolf, and was later killed by Lao Wan
