Mutants' Daily Life [Comprehensive British and American]

Humans are really hard to understand!

"...In order to repair biologically broken limbs, Trask Industries has begun to conduct research on human prosthetics through dna technology. The specifics of this research have now been published in the international journal xxx, and it is expected that the technology will mature in the future... "

"If this technology becomes real, do you want to consider changing it for yourself?"

Howard picked up the remote control, turned off the TV, and turned to the Winter Soldier's suggestion: "Sergeant Barnes, although you have also been injected with super soldier serum, the metal mechanical arm is still very harmful to your body. Sexual. If ignored, in the long run, it will cause your shoulder blades to be overused, and at the same time, the spine in the back may be compressed and deformed, and even affect the breathing of your lungs..."

"Thank you for your concern, but I don't think about changing it for the time being." The Winter Soldier replied calmly.

He raised the mechanical arm, moved it flexibly back and forth, and said softly, "I'm used to it."

"Okay, then remember to come to me regularly for maintenance." Howard was not surprised at his choice: "I will think of ways to help you minimize the harm."

The Winter Soldier nodded, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome." Howard continued to bow his head.

He flipped through several documents and some magazines: "How about the captain's search?"

"I've drawn a rough area on the map, and I'll find time and opportunity to investigate it bit by bit." The Winter Soldier replied calmly.

After a while, he suddenly smiled with a slight smile on his lips: "Those students who signed up for the fun may really be of great help this time."

"I remember, there is one who can breathe underwater and walk freely..." Howard suddenly stopped what he was doing, and asked with his head slightly thinking.

"That's right." The Winter Soldier replied in the affirmative.

The two immediately looked at each other tacitly, and both felt that the possibility of finding the captain this time had increased again.

When the Winter Soldier and Howard were still researching, discussing, and planning for 'Finding Captain America'.

As it happens, Carlos and Tony also talked about Captain America.

At the very beginning, when they were talking, it was naturally impossible to talk about Captain America.

In fact, if Peter Parker, one of the twins' younger brother, hadn't given a copy of the out-of-print comics "Captain America vs. Hitler" before leaving, Carlos would have no idea what Captain America does.

He approached Tony, at first purely for the 'height problem'.

After that 'drinking milk until he vomited, but it didn't help the height problem', he rushed to the doctor in a hurry to see the school's temporary school doctor, Hank the Beast.

However, after Hank did a checkup for him, he thought that he was healthy in all aspects, or in other words, I don't know how many times healthier than his peers.

The really unhealthy ones... such as Kurt the Nightcrawler, seem to be alive and kicking, but they are actually suffering from serious malnutrition.

For this reason, Hank had to prescribe several small nutritious pills specifically for him, so that he could remember to take a few pills after meals every day to promote gastrointestinal absorption.

As for the results of Carlos' physical examination.

Hank said very sincerely: "You probably really just developed late, Carlos. You are very healthy, very healthy. If your body really has a little hidden danger or unhealthy place. I think, There is only one possibility, and that is that you eat too much and take in too much sugar, which causes obesity."

Carlos was furious.

The height problem was not resolved, and he was ridiculed for his weight.

He flew out of the school infirmary, trying to find someone else to ask for help.

But neither Charles nor the other teachers thought it was a big deal.

Wolverine Logan also impatiently used himself as an example: "I was weak when I was young, and I grew very slowly, and I was thin. I could only think about life in bed every day, but I am fine now."

"Didn't you lose your memory?" Carlos asked.

"I remember a little bit from time to time." Logan replied casually, smoking a cigar.

"Frail? Thin? Thinking every day?" Scott looked at the other man's strong figure, which was comparable to that of a gym trainer, and shook his head in disbelief: "It's unimaginable."

"Skinny man, are you jealous?" Logan grinned triumphantly.

"No, I'm just recently interested in evolution, Mr. Logan. The historical development of the biological world shows that biological evolution is a process from simple to complex, from low to high..."

Scott pushed his glasses calmly, and said politely: "However, your existence fully proves that biological evolution can have another completely opposite development process."

Logan froze for a moment, a little unresponsive.

Remy, who was standing next to him, couldn't help laughing and bent over.

"Sometimes, boys just grow up slower." Mrs. Maria interrupted their discussion.

This gentle lady smiled and stood in the position of a mother, expressing her opinion: "Tony also grew very slowly at the beginning, but when he was in middle school, he suddenly grew up."

"Is that true?" Carlos asked earnestly.

Mrs. Maria gave him an extremely positive response.

That night, Carlos, who was busy with the broadcasting agency and went to two more classes, held a laptop computer, and hurriedly started a conversation with Tony starting from 'height'.

At first, he just wanted Tony to give him a little confidence, similar to the comforting words of 'don't worry, I grew up very quickly and became taller all of a sudden'.

But to be honest, when the two of them had a video call, Tony heard that Carlos actually talked to him about his height... He almost thought that this dead boy was ordered by someone to blackmail him.

Fortunately not.

He has no interest in the subject.

So I casually drew the new weapon design, while listening to the other party cry: "...I don't want to be short, and I have to look up when I see people in the future, and I feel inexplicably inferior; and, too short, I don't like it at all Girls like it, if Apollo and the others see it, they will definitely laugh at me; if you are always so short, you will be treated as a child wherever you go, and your opinions will not be taken seriously, and you will not be able to reach high things, walking in the crowd , the effort will be submerged in a short while..."

'Why is this dead boy so annoying? '

Tony felt that the blood vessels on his forehead were throbbing wildly, so he could only smile on the surface and say, "Oh, it's because of blowing to death."

He secretly decided to change Carlos's Christmas gift this year from the "So-and-so Limited Edition Candy Gift Pack" to the "Boosting Pad Gift Pack"!No thanks, it's what brothers should do.

A quarter of an hour later, Carlos was still chattering away.

Tony, who was really annoyed to death by this 'height problem', finally threw his pen aside after drawing three design drawings.

He put his arms around his chest, looked at the child on the computer screen, and casually found a new topic: "What have my parents been up to lately?"

"Oh, Mrs. Maria is busy composing the soundtrack for my new radio show."

Carlos started talking along his new topic very easily: "The radio drama I made this time is absolutely superb. I will succeed in doing it later and send it to you. However, it must be kept secret now. As for Uncle Howard..."

He grabbed the small wings behind him in trouble, and flapped them twice: "Actually, I don't know what he is busy with. However, a few days ago, I overheard that he seemed to be looking for some Captain America... America Isn’t Captain a comic book character? What can I find? By the way, Peter sent me a comic book, which is about Captain America, wait, you don’t know Peter, Peter is..."

"Captain America? He's looking for Captain America again?" Tony was not interested in whether Peter was Peter or not, so he interrupted him directly.

Because of this, he knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and subconsciously showed a displeased look.

Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but turned to Carlos full of resentment, and complained a lot: "Oh my God, has he nothing to do for the rest of his life? He knows how to find that damn Captain America all day long, since he was thirty Years old, I have been looking for more than 70 years old, regardless of me or my mother, who is indifferent to this family, and knows to find Captain America all day long. I really want to ask him, why do you marry and have children? Why don’t you just live with Captain America for the rest of your life? go!"

Carlos was a little dazed.

But it would be a big mistake to think that he didn't hear anything.

You know, in his family, there is a mother who is famous for messing around, and an older brother who loves messing around...

So, without knowing the background, he interpreted Tony's words with his previous "family education": "You mean, the person Uncle Howard really loves is Captain America?"

"What?" Tony looked at him in shock: "How did you come to... such a ridiculous conclusion?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Carlos said very expertly: "Uncle Howard must like that Captain America very much, otherwise why did he spend so much time looking for it? Human time is not as long as gods, and it took so much Is there any other reason besides love? However, isn’t Captain America a fictional character? Oh, no need to explain, I understand! Actually, It’s not a big deal to fall in love with fictional characters, I also fell in love with Duck Detective recently..."

"Damn Detective Duck!" Tony cursed in a low voice.

Then he said, in a stiff, emotionless vacillation, "Besides... Captain America isn't fiction."

"Hey, how can you scold Detective Duck!" Carlos just protested, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he asked in surprise, "...what, isn't it a fiction?"

Tony quickly stated: "Yes, he does exist, and he is the same age as my father. As far as I know, they used to be colleagues, comrades-in-arms, and in short, good friends. It was just in a war , Captain America is missing, everyone says he is dead, only my dad always insists that he is not dead, and has been looking for him..."

"Wow." Carlos said emotionally, "Uncle Howard is so affectionate?!"

Tony immediately glared at him viciously: "What are you talking about! My dad has nothing to do with that damn Captain America! Also, is my mom feeding you so much delicious food for nothing? You actually speak for outsiders, little white-eyed wolf !"

"I didn't speak for outsiders, Tony, I just stated the facts." Carlos replied in confusion.

"You also said that you didn't speak for outsiders, you said that the relationship between my dad and that Captain America is..."

With an expression like swallowing a fly, Tony didn't want to mention that word for a long time, and finally said angrily: "What are you talking about them, if it's true, of course it's impossible...but you let me What should mom do?"

"What do you mean?"

Carlos was even more confused: "Are you worried that Aunt Maria will not be with you? I can help her find more beautiful men. When my mother is in a bad mood, she goes out to find beautiful men. When she sees beautiful men, She immediately felt better, what about Adonis, Hermes, Dionysus, Ares..."

"Stop!" Tony really wanted to kill the brat who 'destroyed' his entire family with a gun. He speculated that his father had another true love, and he wanted his mother to find one too...

He widened his eyes ferociously: "In short, it is absolutely impossible for my dad and Captain America!"

Carlos looked like 'Why are you so childish?Why not accept reality? 'The helpless expression.

He said seriously: "This kind of thing, listen to my analysis, it is absolutely right, my brother is Eros, the god of love! Uncle Howard obviously really loves the man named Captain America, but later, because Captain America disappeared, Or he died, and then he got married and had children step by step. But even so, he still couldn't give up the love he once had, so he spent the rest of his life desperately looking for a vague hope... So touching, so affectionate..."

"Shut up!" Tony angrily turned off the video, and decided to cancel Carlos' ten-year Christmas present.

In today's video call, there is nothing that makes him happy!

Carlos, who didn't know anything, looked at the screen that suddenly went black with a look of confusion.

The child who had been spoiled by the group of unscrupulous Olympus gods and had no concept of marriage and loyalty to each other couldn't help sighing, and said to himself: "Humans, it's really hard to understand! "

This chat caused Tony to suffer from insomnia that night, tossing and turning, and stayed up all night. He even resolutely canceled the date with the girls the next day.

However, for Carlos, it was really just a casual chat.

He continued to attend classes without any psychological barriers at all, and fell asleep in Howard's math class as usual, and was hit on the head by chalk.After class, he was still pestering Mrs. Maria for dessert, it was beyond normal to be normal.

At noon, Charles asked him to go to the office, and gave him the revised "Harry Potter" character script, and handed him two letters by the way, specifically asking: "Peter and Eduardo wrote to you , remember to reply."

Carlos showed a surprised expression, not that he didn't welcome the twins' letters, but that he didn't think of the fact that the twins would write to him.

During this period, the Internet was not well developed. Except for a genius like Tony who was always at the forefront of technology, most of the communication methods of everyone still stayed in the two traditional modes of telephone and letter writing.

But what I have to say is that among the two traditional modes, the telephone is better, but for writing letters, Carlos firmly believes that no one likes this troublesome way of communication.

Or, in other words, after the twins left, he very indifferently classified them as playmates he met occasionally, passers-by who passed by on the road of life.He doesn't think that the friendship between himself and the twins has reached the level that even if it's "troublesome letter writing", it needs to be maintained for a long distance and for a long time.

"The two of them like you very much." Professor Charles touched Carlos's light golden curly hair with a smile, and said gently, "Carlos, you should cherish this friendship."

"I see." Carlos nodded slightly embarrassed, but soon became confident again.

He raised his hand to touch his pretty little face, and sighed in a helpless tone: "Oh, I'm always so lovable, sometimes it really annoys me."

Professor Charles was speechless. He just felt that he had never seen such a 'same heart' in his life.

Because, he can really feel that every word of this little guy in front of him, including the narcissistic words about going crazy, is also from the heart, sincerely...

He waved his hand feebly, telling Carlos to do what he should do.

Students are too confident, and sometimes they are quite disturbing.

Carlos left happily with two letters. Anyway, it is always a pleasure to be liked.

As he walked, he opened the letter.

The letter from twin brother Peter was very thick, so Carlos first opened it curiously.

Then, he discovered that the contents inside were more like a diary and journal than a letter.

From how cooked the eggs were in the morning, Peter kept talking about the bedtime story he heard when he went to bed at night, interspersed with: "...Dad is too busy to take care of me. Mom didn't come home...Brother It is always suggested that I drink more water... I disassembled the TV and tape recorder (the disassembly process is described in the middle section), and the circuit board inside is very interesting..."

In comparison, Eduardo's letter looks much normal.

He first politely greeted Carlos and the people from X Academy, and then began to talk about some trivial matters, such as the weather forecast... Yes, I read that right, Eduardo addressed the issues of wind, rain, and thunder in his letter , published some unique insights...

Finally, I asked, 'What do you think about this? ', at the end, there is another sentence 'look forward to your reply. '

Unfortunately, Carlos couldn't understand the weather problems he was talking about.

Writing a letter was troublesome, especially when he realized that it was to twins.

In other words, each of them only needs to be responsible for writing one letter, but they have to answer two letters respectively, which is really a disadvantage!

So, Carlos decided to be lazy and write short.

The letter back to Peter read: "Your brother told you to drink more water because he thought you were talking too much and it was so annoying, so he told you to shut up."

The letter back to Eduardo read: "Wind, rain, and thunder are problems that the gods have to deal with, so don't worry about it."

After finishing writing, do you think it is a bit indifferent to treat people who "love" you like this?

'Good' Carlos, decided to give a little encouragement.

At the end of each letter, the same sentence was added: "I am very glad to receive your letter, your vision is very good, please keep it up."

Of course, what Carlos meant was 'You guys like me, that's right, keep liking me'.

But when the twin brothers received the reply, they were really confused.

Carlos' last sentence 'please keep going' was understood by them as 'please keep communicating'.

Therefore, for a long time, Carlos couldn't get rid of this extracurricular assignment of 'writing two letters every month'.

In the afternoon, Tony suddenly appeared in X Academy, which is a relatively rare phenomenon.

Because of the Stark couple's fraudulent death, Tony has always acted cautiously.

No matter how much he misses his parents in his heart, he has been patient to avoid letting the news that 'the parents are not dead' leak out.

But today, he came to the college quietly, not to meet his parents, but to call Carlos out furtively. The two of them were at the corner of the corridor, whispering something. .

Although on the surface he and his son are at odds, Howard Stark still cares about Tony in his heart. After seeing this scene, he couldn't help but want to go and have a look curiously, but hesitated because of face.

After a while, he found an excuse and walked over pretending to be nonchalant.

His excuse: "Carlos, you failed your math test..."

"But that was already last week!"

Carlos looked shocked, as if saying, "Teacher, it's all in the past, why do you bring it up?" '

Howard was expressionless, and asked logically: "So, can you pass this week?"

"Do you really want me to pass?" Carlos asked in surprise, "Last time you clearly said that you don't expect me to improve, and teaching me would be better than teaching the golden retriever at the door."

Howard coughed lightly in embarrassment, and his rare tone softened a little: "That's an angry word. Teachers always have expectations for students. I still hope you can pass."

"Oh, since you want me to pass that much." Carlos replied cautiously: "You can make the questions easier, or show me the papers in advance."

If you ask Howard what he thinks, it is: 'If this is my son, I will beat him eight times a day! '

He couldn't help but look at Tony with relief, 'my son is better. '

However, Tony maintained a similar 'panacea', not even looking at him.

It can only be said that as expected of father and son, their expressions at this moment are in sync.

"You're not playing your childish little tricks at Stark Industries, what are you doing here?" Howard, who was still relieved just now, couldn't help but sneer when he saw his son's angry look.

Tony didn't want to talk to him at all, and rolled his eyes toward the ceiling.

"He's worried that Captain America will destroy..." Carlos spoke enthusiastically.

"Yes, I heard that you are looking for Captain America, let me take a look." Tony, who had ignored him just now, spoke immediately.

He interrupted Carlos hastily, and turned his head suddenly, so hard and so fast that Howard was worried that he would accidentally break his neck.

Tony showed a row of neat teeth, and said with a warm smirk to Howard: "I admire Captain America the most! So, I really want to pay attention to your progress, uh...Dad, have you found the captain yet?"

Carlos: ...

Howard felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.

He looked at Tony and said meaningfully: "It's really rare, you finally know how to find a good idol."

"You obviously..." Carlos wanted to interject again, he wanted to say, 'You obviously didn't say that just now, you said let me monitor...'

Then, he was interrupted again by Tony.

Tony spoke as fast as a machine gun was fired, and said without even taking a breath: "Yes, yes, I finally realized that Dad's good intentions, a man as noble as the captain, is worthy of all the American people. Come to admire and love him. Of course I am no exception. It is because of his heroic fighting on the battlefield that we have a peaceful life today. I am grateful to him, and I want to see him with my own eyes from the bottom of my heart..."

Carlos fell silent.

He tilted his head, and his mental activity was probably: "Human beings are really hard to understand!" ''A few seconds ago, you were still cursing in my ears that Captain America had better rotted and deformed on the bottom of the sea, turning into microorganisms...now...'

Howard believed it, and said with relief: "Tony, you have finally grown up."

"Yes, Dad." Tony smiled: "Then can I participate in the 'Finding Captain America' activity? I can't wait to see him first."

Carlos felt that the words 'can't wait' sounded particularly gnashing of teeth, but he couldn't figure out what was going on at all.

He could only turn his head to look at Howard stupidly for a while, and turn his head to look at Tony for a while.

Howard was relieved because "the son finally understands me".

He said gently: "Not yet, but if I find it, I can let you know."

"That's really great!" Tony said with a bright smile: "I really want to be the first to meet Captain America, and then give him a warm hug!"

Carlos felt that the weather was a bit cool, and it seemed that the temperature was about to cool down.
