These things and thoughts just swirled in Carl's mind lightly, and no one around him could notice his absence.

Just ahead, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver stood together, smiling at Carl: "Thank you for saving us and destroying the laboratory, Superman. Although you already know, we still want to really introduce ourselves. I am Wanda, code name Scarlet Witch, this is my brother Pietro—”

"Call me Quicksilver like Superman!" Pietro quickly followed Wanda's words. He used his super speed, so only himself and Superman knew what he was talking about, and others could only hear him for a while at most. A faint busy tone.

He looked up at Superman, "I used to think that I was the fastest person in the world, but I didn't expect you to be faster than me! When you rescued us, I didn't see your face clearly. Clear your sign!"

He spread his arms excitedly, drew a Superman "S" symbol on his chest, and lowered his hands.

With a baby face and a juvenile voice, he smiles as if he has been soaked in a honey pot since he was a child. He has never seen suffering or haze. A child with this personality is really cute.

Karl also imitated his actions, smiled at him quickly, and answered him in a low voice: "I know someone who is faster than me, and I will introduce you to him later."

He was talking about The Flash, of course, but the Flash who would be born in the future.

"—Codename Quicksilver." Wanda just finished speaking at this time.

She felt something was wrong, and frowned at Pietro: "You used your speed to grab my words, didn't you?"

"No, no, absolutely nothing!" Pietro opened his eyes wide and looked at Wanda with his most sincere eyes.

Instead, Wanda confirmed that the voice she heard before was not her hallucination: "You just have it! Pietro, how did I tell you, you can't do this because your speed is too fast, others will not be able to keep up."

Pietro retorted softly: "Superman can keep up with me."

"It's not...forget about Pietro, we'll talk about it later." Wanda realized that Superman was looking at them, glared at Pietro, then turned to Superman, and smiled again, "I don't know what to say, Superman , you saved us from hell, no amount of thanks is enough. If there is anything you need, please tell us, we will do everything in our power to help you."

"That's right meringue!" Kuaiyin said loudly, "We'll do anything for you!"

"Take care of yourselves, this is the greatest help you can do to me." Carl said gently.

Magneto behind them didn't look very good. After all, his highly regarded subordinates confessed to Superman. Obviously, if Superman nods, they will decisively abandon the Brotherhood and run towards Superman. He must be very upset. happy.

The lack of seizures is purely because there are too many supermen among the mutants, and the number is too overwhelming. Although it is a bit funny to say so, Magneto is somewhat used to it...

The subordinates want to climb the wall every day, but the boss is also used to it.

Carl smiled apologetically at Magneto.

He hadn't thought he'd be so popular among mutants, and it was his fault for not being thoughtful.

Ordinary people will be afraid of Superman because of his overpowering power. However, the group of mutants, because of the general environment where they are generally not treated equally and the particularity of their own experience, is very obvious. In this In the group, as long as there is a very powerful person who can protect them, within a short period of time, this person can establish religious prestige.

But fanatical beliefs are always the easiest to collapse, and once they collapse, they will counterattack with ten times or a hundred times the hatred.

Lex is circling among politicians, using large amounts of political donations, donations and more generous public welfare activities than before to seek the benefits of mutants without hesitation. It seems that the scene is still in sight. The rhetorical questions that reveal the true emotions seem to be still in my ears.

"Why would I do this? Of course it's for justice, justice and the American way of life... Don't laugh, friends, don't laugh, we all have to admit it's the worst of times, this century is crazy, cold-blooded and rotten, old My God...Of course I know, there is no one who knows better than me." Lex said, his tone drifted for a moment, very subtle, but Carl was sure that Lex was distracted for a while.

He interpreted this momentary distraction as a very dramatic pause, as if he stopped to make sure that he had attracted the attention of those around him.

After realizing that everyone was holding their breath because of his pause, he continued: "Of course I know this, but I am determined, and I will change the status quo, friends, watch, Lex Luthor is going to change everything .”

Cal follows Lex's logic and knows what's going on: an oppressed group has an uncanny cohesion, and Superman thrives in that group because he's an integral part of it.

But what happens when society becomes more tolerant?When mutants can walk among ordinary people more normally, even if they are relatively normal, will they stick to their small group?

An indestructible and consistent external team will be separated and collapsed due to changes in the environment. Disagreement means that there is a breakthrough, and the breakthrough represents the information about Superman that is at your fingertips.

Even Superman's weakness.

If handled properly, Lex can even get some bodyguards or employees from mutants. He is never stingy when dealing with Superman, and he is good at manipulating people. There will definitely be mutants following him to declare war on Superman who saved him. .

Moreover, the matter of making profits for the mutants, and the position he displayed in this matter, also greatly enhanced Lex's prestige among the people and the top US imperialists.

No matter how many times he has seen it, Carl can't help admiring, it really is a typical Lex's way of doing things, as long as his chess pieces fall, no matter how the event changes, the final result will only be good for him, and there will be no harm.

Magneto on the other side should have received Karl's apology. He was cold and didn't speak. After everyone introduced himself and Karl greeted them respectively, he left with Mystique and Destiny.

Wanda and Pietro still refuse to leave.

Although these two brothers and sisters have never dealt with Magneto very much, and they don't like Magneto's "mutants are superior, ordinary people should be enslaved", but because of their young age and strong ability, Magneto usually Li has a lot of patience with them, so it can't be said that they and Magneto don't deal with each other very much.

Karl has been hesitating whether to tell Magneto that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are his biological children... But he doesn't deal with Magneto very much, and he hasn't found much opportunity, so he can't tell others about such an important matter.

And Karl has always suspected that Wanda has guessed something, maybe the guess is not accurate, but Wanda must have realized that they have a certain relationship with the Brotherhood.

The two siblings were both underage when he rescued them from the lab, and they knew nothing about the outside world, so it was up to Superman to decide where to go. Usually when they encountered such a small mutant, Carl would give priority to taking them to Xavier College. But the two of them were sent to Magneto by Karl.

It is possible that Pietro didn't leave because he saw that his sister hadn't left, so he didn't leave, but Wanda stayed alone, as if she wanted to say something to him... definitely wanted to ask him something.

Although he had a headache about this internal family matter, when Wanda really asked him "Why did you send me and Pietro to the Brotherhood", Carl still told the truth.

"Because Magneto, Eric is your biological father."

Wanda looked quite calm, and Pietro, who had never thought about why they were sent to the fraternity, was caught off guard by the news, and he froze in place.

"What? You-you said he was our father?" Pietro couldn't straighten his tongue, but at least he didn't lose his mind. He lowered his voice when he spoke, "How is that possible! That-that's Magneto! He he ...why didn't he come to rescue us?"

Pietro, who was not calm at all, was the one who calmed down the fastest. After the brief shock passed, his words brought a bit of grievance.

Wanda also came back to her senses at this time, and she calmly said to Pietro: "I don't think our father is aware of this, he probably doesn't know that we are his children."

"No, he doesn't know," Carl admitted. "I haven't told him yet. I think you'd be more than happy to tell him yourself."

"Then, our mother..." Pietro asked hesitantly. Wanda didn't speak, but she could not hide her curiosity.

Carl was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "According to my investigation, she died shortly after giving birth to you. Don't blame Eric, your mother was frightened by Eric's mutant identity, she quietly The one who left Eric, Eric didn't know she was pregnant at that time. He was just sad for a while, and never mentioned that woman again. "

Dazed by the shocking news, they left in a daze, and everyone who met them along the way smiled forgivingly.

Xavier College is brightly lit at night.

Dozens of grills were placed on the cleared grass, the grilled meat sizzled, the aroma of grilled vegetables mixed with the aroma of fruit juice, mutants were using their abilities freely in the academy, and the cool wind did not Can take away that fiery atmosphere.

Carl is surrounded by a group of mutants who have lost their shyness. They soon discover that Superman has a very gentle temper. Superman takes care of everyone who squeezes around him and answers every question.

"Superman," a light-pink student asked him. "Why did you choose to be Superman?"

"I didn't choose anything." Carl thought about it seriously, and said, "It just happened."

At first it was just a simple imitation, then it was mixed with his own thoughts, and then... and then it became a habit.

He hasn't thought about the meaning of this behavior for a long time, because he has already learned the truth of the world, and everything he has done is meaningless.

He just wanted to do it, was used to it.

That's it.
