Earth, USA · New York, Queens.

In the noisy neighborhood, a tall, quiet young man was walking among the crowd. He was followed by several teenager-looking boys and girls. They followed behind the young man, laughing softly.

"Follow me." Hank stopped, and he turned his head to look at them. "If you get lost with me, the professor won't let you out to play for the next month."

Hearing this, the boys and girls quickly stepped up.

"Hank, what time are we going to watch the movie?"

"2:40." Hank took out the movie ticket from his pocket and glanced at it.

"Hank, I'm hungry, can we go eat first?"

Hank turned his head again, he met the eager eyes of these sixteen or seventeen-year-old children, and he sighed helplessly.

"Let's go, it happens that there is a restaurant owner I know nearby."

The boss Hank knew was a Mexican and, of course, a mutant.As one of the X-Men who have been with Charles for the longest time, they have rescued many mutants together, and then arranged their identities to hide them among ordinary people, and changed their appearance ever since.Of course, these mutants who have returned to normal life are also very grateful to them, and this is how friendship is formed.

They came to the restaurant of the Mexican boss. Since it is located on a street with mixed fish and dragons, the restaurant is not clean and tidy, but reveals a very down-to-earth feeling.

Although the facilities and environment are very old, the boss Isidore still warmly serves them plate after plate of dishes. Naturally, these are what he invited them.

The teens ate happily while Hank sat aside.The boss, Isidore, patted his hands, sat down opposite him, and poured Hank a glass of wine.

"Low degree." He said before Hank refused.

Hank had no choice but to accept the wine glass, and he glanced towards the small shop, only to see that there were quite a lot of customers sitting in this somewhat dark restaurant.Two of the tables are human, and the other table is mutants.The reason why Hank was able to discover them was because these mutants were too informal. They ate and chatted in public, and at the same time used their abilities to show off tricks to amuse them. These mutants laughed out loud.

Hank frowned slightly.Although the current human society is not as xenophobic as it used to be, such blatantness is really not in line with the usual low-key of mutants, let alone this kind of chaotic neighborhood...

"What's the matter with those people?" Hank looked at them sideways.

The boss followed his gaze and immediately smiled knowingly.

"The mutants have been suppressed for too long, and it's a good thing now."

"Is this a good thing?" Hank turned his head to look at the boss, he said puzzledly, "Aren't they afraid of causing trouble? As far as I know, there are still many improper organizations still looking at mutants..."

"You don't know yet, mutants are also protected by law now."

The casual words of the boss exploded in Hank's ears like thunder.

"what do you mean?"

The boss smiled, he looked happy.He leaned forward, lowering his voice.

"The government is now starting to pay attention to the human rights of mutants, of course they are very happy."

"Impossible!" Hank's first thought was to deny, "If there is really such a big change in American politics, they should contact the X-Men first."

"It's true, you believe me." The boss said, "We have all met with the government."

Hank froze, staring blankly at his boss until he began to explain.

"The people from the government are very serious and friendly. They explained to us in detail the changes in future policies and the protection of our mutants. And they did what they said. The relative support rewards are obtained directly according to the size of the family and the structure of the members!" The boss Isidore said, "Every registered mutant has received [-] US dollars, and many people have received free houses. Those in charge said that other The benefits are slowly starting, and our children will be able to go to ordinary schools for free in the future, and it is said that the teachers are all college graduates."

Isidore's joyful words mixed with Mexican taste only made Hank's hands and feet feel cold.

He couldn't explain his inexplicable uneasiness and fear to his boss, or the children around him. It was his intuition after experiencing countless incidents against mutants as a veteran of the X-Men over the years.

"You...registered?" His tongue was dry.

"Of course. They give money based on the head. Although my wife is human, they registered as well, and they also gave me money as a mutant! Plus my two daughters, can you imagine, we I got [-] dollars!" Isidore was very happy, "They said that our house will be approved next week."

"Why didn't you call us before checking in?" Hank raised his voice.

The Mexican boss was stunned. He thought Hank would be happy too, but the other party seemed a little angry.

"Because... I thought you guys knew..." He murmured, "What's the matter, is there anything wrong?"

"Isidor, you are so confused!" Hank said bitterly, "[-] dollars and a house sold the safety of your family of four, all your information, and all your whereabouts to the US government! I guessed right, they must have asked you if you have any blood relatives?"

The boss nodded blankly.

"You know I have lost touch with my family, so I didn't tell them..."

"Thank goodness!" Hank said, "With just a little benefit, they were able to dig out a whole family of mutants! If my guess is correct, your wife's relatives will probably be secretly investigated as well."

"But my wife's family members are not mutants..." The boss was still struggling.

"A human female who can give birth to a mutant may have hidden the x gene." Hank said coldly, "You have provided them with such a possibility."

Isidor's face gradually turned pale.Amidst the laughter of the mutants in the restaurant, he who had experienced the turmoil looked a little shaky.

"Then, what to do then?"

"Don't be nervous, maybe my guesses are all false." Hank said in a deep voice, "I'll go back to see the professor right now, and keep quiet until I contact you!"

Isidore nodded hurriedly.

Hank stood up abruptly, looking sideways at the teenagers.

"Let's go, go back to school."

"what why……"

One of the boys wanted to ask a question, but Hank's face was so bad that these usually naughty teenagers shut up.

Watching Hank and the other mutant children leave the restaurant, the owner, Isidore, slowly slumped on the back of the chair.

He has been out of danger for too long, and he has lived too comfortably these years...Maybe it is because of the unanimity of human beings all these years, which made him forget the lessons of the past and trust the US government so easily...If Hank hadn't let him Standing still, he really wanted to run home now and leave here with his wife and children.

……

Hank is usually a very safe person, which is very different from his beast state.He also drove very steadily, until he left New York, without the camera, he stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the school in the suburbs.

Originally, the little mutants complained because they didn't watch it as a movie, but they didn't dare to speak when they saw Hank like this.

They accelerated all the way back to the castle, Hank even ignored the children in the back seat, he took off his seat belt and went straight to Charles' office.It wasn't until he knocked on the door of Charles' office and heard the man's calm and gentle "please come in" that Hank's mood stabilized a little.

He pushed open the door and saw Charles sitting by the window of the old castle with a book spread out on his lap.

"professor."

"Why are you so unsteady?" Charles smiled at him.

Hank came in front of him, and without even exchanging greetings, he directly told Charles what happened just now.Charles originally had a smile on his face, but when Hank finished speaking, the man's face became more serious.

After Hanke finished speaking, he said, "Maybe those people are really kind, but because of my experience over the years, this incident made me alert..."

"Your thinking and analysis are correct." Charles said in a deep voice, "If the U.S. government really has such good intentions, they will definitely not cover it up, but will publicize it... The most suspicious thing is that they do this , why avoid us X-Men?"

"I think so too." Hanke said, "The experience of these years has made me no longer trust this government."

Charles thought for a moment, then looked up.

"Come with me to the underground base."

<<

They came to the base of the X-Men, which is located under the castle, only the X-Men can enter, and the children have no authority.

Charles entered the mastermind room, he put the helmet on his head, and Hank was adjusting the buttons.

"You want to collect information?"

Charles nodded.

Han pulled off the machine, and Charles closed his eyes. Immediately, countless voices and people appeared in his mind... In the noise, he was looking for the sound he wanted...

Levels, registration, mutant benefits...

Gradually, the irrelevant personnel disappeared, Hank raised his head, he stared at the circular wall full of figures, and suddenly stretched out his hand, "That—"

Two figures, one white and one red, were fighting against each other, which represented mutants and humans... Charles closed his eyes tightly, the conversation between the two poured into his ears, and he came to the scene.

"...Yes, as long as you register your name, I will send you five thousand dollars now. The rest of the money will not be released until you fill out your family information..." A man dressed politely explain.

"I have—" When the mutant woman across from him was about to speak, Charles invaded her brain.At that moment, the woman who was excited by the huge benefits turned calm, and she showed a regretful smile, "I'm the only one, no family, what a pity."

<<

Charles is still constantly scanning, he has witnessed no less than dozens of registered transactions throughout New York, and he can't stop all mutants in time.Because these investigators all started from the bottom-level mutants, and mutants at this level had a difficult life. The reward of five thousand dollars was simply a huge sum of money, and no one could refuse it.

Charles opened his eyes, his expression becoming serious.

"Do you want to keep checking?" Hank asked.

Charles didn't answer, he closed his eyes again.It's just that this time his brain quickly skipped New York City, and came to the suburbs west of New York, which is the site of the Avengers.

He sensed Quicksilver and Wanda, who were walking in the garden.But he didn't feel Captain America, and it was estimated that Steve was doing things in the base that blocked his ability.

He returned to Wanda again.

"Wanda, ask Steve to go for a walk." Charles said in Wanda's mind, "I have something to talk to him about."

The author has something to say: The main line is here to provoke~~~ Will the little princess be far behind when she returns to Earth =w=
