Mutants' Daily Life [Comprehensive British and American]

You can never bring back a man who wants to die

Magneto stood silently outside the Jaguar Markvii car, which was the fastest car on the market at that time.

Don't look at Charles as always a gentle and scholarly demeanor, but friends who have known him earlier know that in the early years, he was also the little prince of Tiantian Nightclub, and he was not short of money since he was a child. pile of cars.

Mystique Raven revealed to Magneto inadvertently that when she was in middle school, she was instigated by Charles and ran to the underground racetrack to join in the fun. When she arrived at the gate, because there were no invitations and she was not old enough, the security guard Not allowed to enter.

She found a hidden place, first transformed into an adult, took Charles there, and then relied on Charles' mental manipulation to make the security guard think that she had an invitation letter, and then the two successfully sneaked in together, playing a game happy.

Magneto was noncommittal.

But he couldn't help thinking: "Charles now doesn't know how to do these things. He imitated those useless weaklings, made a bunch of useless rules, regular stripes, and restricted himself inside, like a prisoner……"

But no matter how dissatisfied and ridiculed he was, he still didn't want to leave.

So, he stood outside the car for 5 minutes before Charles barely finished laughing.

But when those blue eyes looked at him with what seemed to be a lingering pleasant smile, he didn't think it would be a big deal to wait a little longer.

However, to see such a happy Charles... is really rare!

Since the breakup, because of their different views and opinions, every time the two meet is a fierce quarrel.

Charles would sternly accuse him of abducting his sister Raven, instilling dangerous thoughts in an innocent little girl, and betraying himself; Eric thought he was too naive and stupid, and told him with a sneer unceremoniously 'Nobody can steal what's yours unless it wasn't yours in the first place.If you are afraid of losing, take the initiative to defend well. '

The two of them didn't talk more than half a sentence.

The intimacy and talk of everything as if they were close friends can only exist in each other's memory.

But this time, it seems a little different...

Magneto, who didn't know that he was the butt of a joke, subconsciously softened his usual overly aggressive attitude because of the smile in Charles' eyes.

His tone is rare and gentle, instead of the previous arrogance and domineering, with an expression of "only what I said is correct", but more like Eric many years ago, gently caring in the tone of an old friend Say, "Charles, how have you been all these years? How's your leg... how?"

Professor Charles obviously showed a look of extreme surprise, and he didn't expect to hear such warm words from the other party.

So, he also involuntarily slowed down his tone, and just said a little stiffly: "It's neither good nor bad...but I'm used to it."

Sometimes it's like this, when two people are at war, one of them suddenly let go, and the other has no intention of continuing to tense.

The conversation started unexpectedly, and the atmosphere was extremely peaceful.

Under such circumstances, the two people who hadn't had a 'normal conversation' for a long time were a little at a loss as to what to say next.

Magneto, who was here to attract Qin Gray, somehow didn't want to spoil this rare moment without quarrels.

Even, in order to prevent Charles from putting up his guard again, he suddenly made up his mind not to mention the little mutant who "hasn't grown up yet, and although he has unlimited potential, he won't be useful in a short time".

Anyway... no matter what kind of spiritual ability user, they can't compare to the one in front of me.

However, he still had the shameless thought of "Wait for Charles to teach me well, and it won't be too late for me to recruit." Anyway, in his opinion, "As long as the hoe is well swung, there is no corner that can't be dug down." ', isn't Mystique Raven a perfect example?

But now...at least now, he didn't want to freeze the relationship with Charles again because of a weak chess piece that he couldn't use for the time being.

His brain was thinking rapidly, trying to find a safe topic.

But it seems that whether he mentions his "mutant brotherhood" or discusses the "mutant future development", it will touch Charles's sensitive nerves. .

Magneto, who is invincible and confident in everything he does, is worried for the first time because of speaking.

Fortunately, Charles is considerate and polite most of the time except when he is angry.

He quickly sensed the embarrassment between the two of them, and even faintly guessed Magneto's intentions. After all, they had only left Gray's house not long ago... But with the rascal idea of ​​"If you don't say it, I won't say it", The pretending is the same as the real thing.

He had an innocent and calm face, only thinking that the other party was just idle and bored, and came to visit old friends to catch up.

Then, in a few words, he changed the subject.

Two old friends who had their own ghosts started chatting about the weather, the environment, the recent presidential election, and the Ram who was pregnant with her third child and was still working hard to increase production and serve the country...

Of course, most of it is Charles.

The corners of Magneto's mouth twitched, and he really wanted to question him sharply: "You have such a powerful ability, but you don't contribute to the cause of mutants, and you waste it all day long without doing business!"What on earth do you want to do? '

But... It's been a long time since I saw the other party so happy and energetic, and I couldn't bear to interrupt.

Forget it, just this once.

So, even if it was something as unreliable as a 'ram's pregnancy', he patiently listened to it, and echoed: "Yes, the sheep are working so hard, they need to feed more good grass..."

Shockwave Alex, who was sitting in the driver's seat, felt that he was about to become transparent.

'Hey, we've known each other for about the same time, right?Can you two look over and give me a little sympathy?and……'

He was already ready to fight, but the two of them looked like old friends and chatted (chattered).

How do you play this tm?

At this time, Carlos poked his back with his fingers and asked in a low voice, "Alex, are they good friends?"

Alex was in a complicated mood, and didn't know how to explain this confusing relationship to children.

So, he turned his head, imitating Carlos, and said in a low voice: "Sometimes we are good friends, sometimes we are enemies. At present, most of the time, we are enemies."

Carlos nodded thoughtfully.

Alex looked at his pretty little face and didn't want to know what kind of mess was going on in this little guy's head.

At the same time, in order to avoid a fight with Magneto, Charles was still trying to find a topic of safety. He even talked about the hen laying eggs too frequently in school, and whether the nutrition could not keep up. He talked about it three times.

After that, the two were completely speechless.

"It's getting late, you..."

"Is this your new student?"

Just when Charles had no safe topics to talk about and was about to send Magneto away, Magneto Eric finally found another person in a car besides Shockwave.

Well, this was their first, slightly more serious topic after a good two hours of delay.

But too serious.

Compared with the previous topic of "What kind of feed does the hen eat and lay more eggs", "Regular sale of vegetables in supermarkets", "It's time to pay the cable TV bill", the style of painting is seriously different... It's a bit out of touch.

Professor Charles paused subconsciously, his brain was short-circuited, and he didn't react for a long time.

But Magneto misunderstood his momentary pause and understood that Charles was guarding himself.

His face instantly sank, and his whole face looked like the metal he used to manipulate, cold and hard.

He asked in a formulaic command: "What is his power? Tell me! Charles, are those eyes?"

When Charles said "No, wait" was still stuck in his throat, Magneto stretched out his palm, lifted it lightly, and grabbed the glasses on the bridge of Carlos' nose out of thin air with the help of the screws on the sunglasses , Demonstration-like, understatement crushed to pieces.

This is true: You can never wake up a person who wants to pretend to be asleep, and you can never wake up a person who wants to die.

Carlos was watching the fun, so he kept looking at Magneto curiously. At this time, he was caught off guard, and his glasses flew away. Before he could close his eyes, he met his eyes for a second before he hurriedly remembered to close them. Eye.

Nothing happened.

Except for a moment of absent-mindedness, and sighing that those green eyes are beautiful and lively, there is no strange ability as imagined. Magneto couldn't help showing a confused look, and he couldn't help shouting: "Charles, this what's going on?"

Professor Charles withdrew his head back into the car from the window, wanting to pretend he didn't exist.

Most of my heart was also broken: "How should I tell my old friend and old enemy that he was unfortunately pregnant?"

Magneto frowned and stepped forward, wanting to knock on the car window and ask what was going on.

At this time, a feeling of vomiting, as if eating something rotten, rushed up the throat suddenly...

Seeing his instantly pale face, Charles silently swallowed 'serve it'.

Then, he sat in the car, turned his head sideways to Magneto outside the car, showed a nonchalant smile and said, "From today onwards, you and James probably have a lot in common. Well... Sergeant James Barnes , a World War II veteran."

Magneto looked at him blankly, not understanding what he was talking about.

Charles continued to smile at him.

Then, Magneto covered his mouth, turned his head and vomited.
