West's Summer [Comprehensive English and American]

As a 17-year-old "boy" whose time is forced to stop, West's temper has never been very good, especially when he just woke up, he doesn't even like to make a big death like Stark Willing to touch the moldy head.

There used to be one of the most popular punishments in mutant schools, which was to wake up Mr. Xavier Jr. at 6 o'clock in the morning on rest days.This activity was first initiated by Cyclops and promoted by Storm. Every student who made trouble in their class would be forced to be sent to West's room at the specified time, and all of them would change their minds and swear to be a new man when they came out.The most famous one was when Wolverine, who just came to school and knew nothing, lost a bet with Cyclops. He readily accepted the bet and dragged West to get up, but almost died at the hands of the 'hermit'... It is said Later, Wolverine secretly stated in private that he would rather run to fight Magneto than be stripped naked and hang upside down outside the window of Professor X's office.

Therefore, it was not very strange when Jarvis, who was far away in the Avengers Building, received a reminder from the coordination system on the other side of the ocean that he needed to purchase a third alarm clock for Mr. Xavier Jr.After all, what his sir said, based on West's many previous convictions, it is not impossible for him to sink the British Isles in a fit of anger one day.

However, sometimes, there will always be some ignorant and fearless warriors around us——

"Hey classmate. May I sit here?"

When a young boy's uniquely energetic voice sounded above his head, West was sulking in the corner of the classroom with two huge black eyes, murderous.Since he had been tossing about sorting out the materials until late at night, and he had to get up early to catch up with the morning class, his waking up this time lasted longer than usual.And it was also because the expression was too terrifying, no one dared to sit beside him under the huge pressure that almost materialized... Except obviously, except for the blond boy who rushed into the door while stepping on the class bell.

"Hi, I'm Colin, Colin Burrence."

He piled the books in his arms on the table.To West's surprise, the first thing his new deskmate did when he sat down was not to open a book or note, but to introduce himself to him.

"West Xavier." He nodded slightly indifferently, because he was a mutant, and West never liked to get along with ordinary humans.Coupled with the fact that he was extremely depressed due to lack of sleep last night, he was willing to give this blond boy a serious look, which was already a manifestation of his endurance to the extreme.

It was probably more or less noticeable that the brown-haired boy was not very emotional.Colin hesitated for a moment, obviously unwilling to end like this.But in the end, he just shrugged his shoulders, smiled at West, and turned his head to organize the messy pile of documents and materials on the table.

The unhappiness in my heart subsided a little because Colin was so sensible.West rarely turned his head, glanced at the ordinary and unremarkable face of his deskmate, then covered his face with the textbook, and fell asleep generously by leaning against the back of the chair.

Dimly, he seemed to dream of the young Charles standing in front of him, his blue ocean-like eyes bent into beautiful shapes, like a never-ending heavy rain at the end of midsummer.Beside him, Eric, who had not yet become the Magneto King, quietly embraced his shoulders, his eyes were still sharp and clear.Countless people came and went between them, disappeared at the end of the years, until at the end, even they smiled slightly, with blurred ripples like reflections in water.

Gradually, with the boundless darkness coming little by little, everything disappeared.

'You shouldn't hate me, West. '

At the moment when he was swallowed by Mie Ding Kong Ji, he seemed to hear the man's familiar voice coming from all directions.On the battlefield of the last stand, in the dark and humid laboratory underground, in the nightmare that he couldn't wake up every night, he had branded it in the bottom of his heart again and again, bloody, but since then he will never cowardly use forgetting to escape.

'If you want to hate, hate Charles, if it makes you feel better,' said the voice:

' After all, he was the 'Creator' who first woke me from my slumber, and I have been the most devout saint ever martyred for him. '

That's a lie.

Even in a dream, everything about Yi Laizhe is a deceptive lie.

He sneered.

"Snapped--"

After an unknown amount of time, a rather loud sound of heavy objects falling to the ground suddenly filled my ears, dispelling the endless darkness in front of my eyes.West opened his eyes instantly, and before his consciousness could react, his body had instinctively jumped up and put on a defensive posture.But because he forgot to sit in the narrow seat, he couldn't keep his balance, and one of them lost his balance, and he fell to the ground with the chair just like that.

"...I'm sorry." I didn't expect West's reaction to be so big.Colin, who accidentally dropped his book, stood there stunned, staring at the boy lying on the ground, grinning and rubbing the back of his head, carefully pointing to his body:

"Well, do you mind if I pick up my book?"

"...please."

I was so ashamed that I even forgot to wake up angry.West grabbed the window sill and got up tremblingly. He looked around the empty classroom and was a little puzzled: "Where is the person? What time is it?"

"Two hours after the last class." Colin struggled to tidy up his documents scattered all over the floor, without looking up, "By the way, can you help me pick up the one over there, I can't seem to reach it?"

"Oh." He didn't expect that he would sleep all morning after closing his eyes. The corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly, but he also bent down to pick up the black-covered book that fell particularly far away.

"The Book of Merlin?"

Staring at the cover in his hand in a little surprise, West unconsciously read the title of the bronzing book.After all, I just read the story about King Arthur yesterday. Although I am not very interested in it, when I see something I am familiar with, I will inevitably take a few more glances unconsciously.

"The last of Terrence White's "Eternal King" pentalogy, a long poem named after the wizard Merlin."

Apparently understanding West's question as another meaning, Colin got up holding the things he had organized, and smiled at him: "Actually, I saw you in the library yesterday, when you were reading King Arthur's story ...Perhaps, you also want to try this version?"

"No, thank you." Throwing the book back into the arms of the blond boy, West refused without hesitation.

"Hey, don't be so determined, this version is hard to find now."

With bright eyes, as if showing off some treasures, Colin chattered and counted each of the "bright spots worth recommending from a literary point of view".And West didn't interrupt him, just packed his things silently, and at the same time, he was thinking about what he should eat at noon.

"...Really, West, you should really read these places carefully. Comparisons between different details often lead to very interesting conclusions, such as how many times Merlin saved King Arthur."

As if a switch had been turned on, even though he was the only one talking, Colin was obviously very happy:

"...By the way, there seems to be a guy named Merlin Emerys in the history department who knows these things better than anyone else. We all think he is the reincarnation of Archmage Merlin!"

There was a strong hint in his words.If there is a third person present now, that person must be able to hear that Colin said so much in order to pave the way for the last sentence.But because he stayed up all night last night and slept in two professional classes in an uncomfortable place today, West's IQ and concentration are not online at this time.As far as he is concerned, this is a joke he is not interested in made by a stranger who is not interested in him, just listen to it.What's more, even if there is a reincarnation of a spiritual master, it has nothing to do with him.

"I'll go back first." Put the phone in his pocket, pick up the schoolbag, turn around and leave.Before stepping over the threshold, West had lived up to expectations and forgot everything Colin said just now.

He didn't get any response, and he didn't see any concern about the matter from the young man's face. The blond boy didn't catch up and didn't try to keep him, but just stood there quietly, his eyes flickering.

After a long, long time, the noise of the whole building gradually stopped breathing.He moved his numb legs slightly, lowered his head, and whispered a series of ancient characters.At the same time, with the chanting of the old traces in the air, those light gray eyes suddenly turned into bright golden.And when the spell ended, it wasn't Colin Burrence, the ordinary blond kid, standing in the classroom, but the high-cheekboned boy who accidentally disturbed everyone in the library with his clumsy movements yesterday.

"Have you really forgotten everything, Will?"

He raised his eyes and murmured like this.The boy's eyes are as clear as the sky after the rain. It is obviously such a clean and pure color, but unexpectedly filled with such a strong and bewildered sadness.

Looking at the clear blue sky outside the window, the early summer sun shines through the lush green leaves above the head, creating circles of blurred silhouettes.Just like countless fragments left behind in time turned into sharp arrows in the light and poured down, he stood in the memory of only one person, with no way to retreat, let alone escape.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Meanwhile, New York, USA.

Putting down the petri dish in his hand, Tony Stark took a long breath.His recent main activity has been to analyze West's DNA with Dr. Banner, hoping to find out something worth noting.But now, this research is approaching the most critical time. As long as the data that Jarvis is currently matching comes out, they will be able to initially figure out what happened to West's second genetic mutation at the age of 17.

Rubbing his forehead swollen from working for more than ten hours, Tony went to the kitchen and poured himself and Banner a cup of coffee.Ever since they encountered those bionic fighters who fused Dr. Yi's research results at the Hydra base, they have been soaking in the laboratory of the building.Steve and Bucky went back to Brooklyn together, Natasha went to the Middle East, Hawkeye was supposed to play with piranhas in the Amazon, and everyone else had their own affairs.Now that the situation is still unclear, they also need to enjoy the last calm before the storm.

"Sir, there are new discoveries."

Just as Tony was idly leaning against the laboratory table, thinking secretly whether playing tricks on Dr. Banner would toss the Hulk out, a metallic voice suddenly sounded in the room.Without waiting for Iron Man's order, Jarvis took the initiative to open the virtual panel in the center, and the orange light group representing the core of the AI ​​program was constantly changing, separating the part it considered the most important from the message, and completely arranged it on the screen.

"When matching the genetic information of Mr. Xavier Jr., my search engine captured several highly similar records...one has been confirmed to come from Hydra, and the other two are located in Oxford, England. "

"Oxford? Isn't West right there now?!"

Also attracted by the information on the screen, Banner carefully looked at the two research records, both dated more than 20 years ago, but the content was more fruitful than what he and Tony had obtained now.Although the contents of these two records are similar, the details and key points are completely inconsistent, and it can be seen at a glance that they were written by two different people.

"Bruce... We know that there is only one person who could study the Wester gene more than 20 years ago, right?"

Frowning, Tony put down the coffee cup in his hand, and focused all his attention on the two records: "Can you find the source, jar?"

"working hard now."

The orange ball of light flickered more intensely.It didn't take long before Jarvis' voice sounded again, bringing his results to the two of Tony.

"How about it?"

"There is an article from the id whose registration information is 'Eilee Zhe', sir."

Responding dutifully, the ai steward seemed to pause and did not continue.

"What about the other one?"

I don't know if he also realized something, Tony's brows frowned even tighter, almost twisting his entire forehead into a ball.

And in the next second, the answer he heard made him wish he could explode into fireworks in an instant——

"It's Charles Xavier."

Jarvis spoke without emotion.
