"You can also bring that Winter Soldier with you. Charles is the person who knows the most about the human brain in the world. He will find a way." Phoenix said.

Zoe drove her aunt's blue Porsche on the road to West Chester. Wanda and Pietro were sitting in the back seat of the car as usual, and Bucky lay quietly on the co-pilot of the car.

Zoe could have Apparated there, but when her aunt heard that she was taking Wanda and Pietro to visit a mutant teacher in West Chester, far from Gotham, she immediately said, "That's too far away, You go early and come back early, I have a gas card, you go to the gas station to fill up the gas in the car."

What else can Zoe do?All she had to do was drive to Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.

It is a very pleasant thing to drive out for an outing in sunny weather. If my aunt is not feeling unwell recently and is not suitable for long-term car rides, she will definitely follow.

Zoe was very happy to enjoy the scenery of the countryside. She opened the car window to the maximum and let the wind blow into the car. Wanda stuck her head out of the car, her hair was blown tousled.

"Can I get out of the car and run outside?" Pietro looked at Zoe and then at Wanda. His right to run freely was obviously in the hands of these two girls.

Wanda handed over the decision to Zooey.

Zoe looked at Pietro's longing face and chuckled.

"Go if you want," she said. "Don't stray too far from the car."

"Great!" Pietro exclaimed.

A silver light flashed in the car, and he disappeared immediately, leaving only one sentence: "I am waiting for you at the wind power station ahead!"

Next to the empty road, a huge wind turbine rotates slowly, a group of hiking pigeons fly over it, and there are only a few scattered clouds in the sky.

Zoe turned on the car navigation, and turned on the radio by the way, which was playing Michael Jackson's old songs.

"I can temporarily transform you back." Zooey said, looking at the Himalayan cat on the co-pilot.

After a crisp crackling sound, a man in a black tactical suit appeared on the co-pilot. His left arm was silver-white, with a cold metallic texture.Wanda moved her head to the front curiously, and took a good look at Bucky.

Bucky smiled at the little girl.

"If you smile, you won't look so bad." Wanda shook her head and sighed.

Bucky raised his eyebrows, and he reached out to switch the radio station. After changing several car channels in a row, he heard the classic dance music of the 40s and [-]s.

"...Please, even my aunt doesn't listen to this kind of music." Zooey expressed contempt for Bucky's taste.

"You have to be considerate of the elderly, but I'm over 90 years old." Bucky said leisurely.

Zoe didn't drive slowly, and she quickly arrived at the place agreed with Pietro.The silver-haired brat was standing impatiently by the side of the road waiting for them.

Zoe didn't slow down the car, and Pietro ran outside the car, but kept parallel to the window.

"You guys are so slow!" Pietro made a face at them, and then he found a man he didn't know sitting in the co-pilot, "Who is this? Where did he come from! You met A hitchhiker? Why didn't I see it when I ran past?"

"You are so slow, Pietro." Wanda laughed at her younger brother, "This is Mr. Bucky."

Bucky glanced at Pietro, and Zooey wondered if he would be bothered by the brat pulling his tail, Pietro fussed and kept asking Bucky how he turned into a Himalayan cat.

Speeding on the highway is indeed relaxing, as if the faster the car is driven, the more troubles and unpleasant things can be left behind.

"You are speeding, sister." Wanda reminded.

Zoe said indifferently: "Now there will be no traffic police to check for violations, and there are no law enforcement cameras here. Breaking the rules occasionally makes people feel happy."

"That's right!" Pietro yelled, "This speed is less than one-thousandth of my running speed!"

Wanda stared at Zooey dumbfounded, as if she had a new understanding of her in just a few seconds.

When the car drove to West Chester, Zoe took a few people to have lunch, and they found a delicious hot dog stand without much effort. The owner of this hot dog stand blew his mobile phone "See the picture on the car? That's the President of the United States. He once ate a hot dog I made! I even took a photo with him!"

After Zoe and others tasted it, they found that their hot dog really lived up to its reputation, and the flavor of the sausage was simply amazing.

They sat down on a bench and enjoyed their lunch happily.

Pietro shook his calf and looked left and right, and muttered in a small voice: "Why do I think this scene looks like mom and dad with two children?"

"...Shut up, am I that old? I'm not old enough to be your mother." Zoe slapped Pietro on the forehead.

West Chester is a peaceful town, just like what Phoenix said, it is a very good place. If Zoe could choose, she would be very willing to settle in West Chester after finishing her studies.

"Qin? Why are you here?" Someone asked behind.

Zoe frowned slightly, and looked back at the person behind him. It was a boy who seemed to be in high school. He wore large red sunglasses on his face, and half of his face was very handsome. The other companion, it's summer now, but his companion is wearing a very large and thick hoodie and a mask, not even showing his face.Zoe noticed unusual energy fluctuations emanating from them—these were two mutants.

The boy realized that he had identified the wrong person, and he immediately apologized, "Sorry, I mistook you as my friend."

...It's really similar.

Zooey heard this boy thinking in his heart, but his heartbeat was only fleeting, and Zooey couldn't hear all his thinking activities in a state where telepathy was turned off.

"Are you students of Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters?" Zoe asked.

The age is a student, and they are still in West Chester, so the chances of the two of them being Professor X's students are very high.

"Yes, we are." The red sunglasses and the hoodie looked at each other.

"We want to visit Professor X, and I hope you can tell me the address of Xavier Manor." Zoe stood up, put her hands on Wanda and Pietro's shoulders, and hinted, "People say he is a mutant leader, we need his help."

Scott frowned. He made eye contact with Kurt, then looked at the young Wanda and Pietro, and finally said, "Okay, I can take you there."

……

Bucky was silent all the way, like a conscientious bodyguard. He has a distinctive cold temperament, and there is still a lingering evil spirit between his brows.Kurt looked at him frequently along the way.

Scott's focus is on Zoe. This girl looks so similar to Qin that even he, who is Qin's boyfriend, would admit it wrong. There is no such similar person without blood relationship in the world.

In fact, Zoe is also paying attention to Scott, and he gives her a very familiar feeling, which was there when Zoe saw him at the first sight... And more importantly, Zoe can feel the feeling in her body. The Phoenix Force is about to move, and she seems very, very hungry, restlessly wanting to eat something to fill her stomach... and Scott Summers next to her is obviously a very delicious snack.

Zooey was taken aback by her own thoughts.

She immediately asked in her heart: "Fenghuang, what do you want to do?!"

"As I said, I'm injured and I need energy." Phoenix said softly, "Maybe my thoughts are too strong, so it affects you...I will try my best to restrain myself."

Having said that, Zooey was still inevitably affected, her eyes drifted unconsciously to Scott, and she couldn't even distinguish the mixture of familiarity and hunger she felt on him.

Kurt and Kurt led them into Xavier Manor, and Zoe saw many mutant children playing on the grass.

The layout here is exactly the same as what Zoe saw in Phoenix Fantasyland. There is a lake in the distance, a few camphor trees are planted by the lake, and there are rotating sprinklers on the well-trimmed lawn, where two naughty children are playing with water. .

There is a peaceful atmosphere everywhere here, and it can be seen that every mutant living here is happy.

"It's nice here..." Bucky whispered.

It was an atmosphere of peace and freedom that he had never felt in all his years as the Winter Soldier.

A ball was thrown towards this side, Wanda controlled the ball to float in the air, and the child over there shouted: "Hey! Throw it over!"

"Ha!" Pietro jumped up excitedly, snatched the ball floating in the air, turned into a silver light and rushed into the field, throwing the ball into the basket.

"I scored a point!" he announced triumphantly.

The children gathered around Pietro in admiration, saying, "Your mutant ability is so cool!"

"I'll go with them to see Professor X first," Zooey leaned down and said to Wanda, "You and Pietro can play here first."

"Go ahead, I'll watch them." Bucky was not in a hurry to meet the famous mutant.

It is recess now, and no one is in class in the classroom.

Zoe peered in curiously as she passed those classrooms, and she actually saw the piano, with the separate sheet music "Fur Elise" on it.

They passed by the geography teacher, and Zoe found that little grimace on the world map...

She couldn't help being in a trance for a moment, a little confused between reality and dreams.

A wooden door at the end of the corridor opened slowly, and the man in the wheelchair showed a gentle smile to Zooey.

"Welcome to the Xavier School," he said.

Charles Xavier, who is well-known outside the world, looks extremely young, with an open book on his knee, no matter in appearance, dress or temperament, he is full of scholarly atmosphere.

"I'm Zoe Fox." Zoe introduced herself, "Nice to meet you, Professor."

"You can just call me Charles," Charles shook hands with her, "you can go out first, Scott and Kurt."

These two students obviously respected Charles very much. They looked at Zoe curiously, and they didn't forget to close the door for the professor before leaving.

Zoe was able to detect a huge mental barrier around the man's body. He is worthy of being called the most powerful psychic in the world, and his brain waves emit powerful mental waves all the time.If it is purely based on mental strength, Zoe is no match for others, but if you count the blessing of the Phoenix Force, maybe there is still a fight.

"I would like to take the liberty to ask, are you related to Jean Gray?" Charles asked inquiringly.

"Who is Jean Gray?" Zooey was confused, "Scott, who was wearing red sunglasses, asked me the same question just now, and he also recognized the wrong person."

"That means there is no blood relationship." Charles thought thoughtfully, "Jean is my student, the most gifted student, and the student with the most mutant ability in this school. You look very similar... I think Let me ask again, what is your mutant ability?"

"I'm not a mutant." Zoe immediately denied.

Charles was also confused, "You don't know that you are a mutant? Haven't you ever wondered where your superpowers come from?"

Zoe and Professor X stared with wide eyes.

She gradually opened her mouth wide, "I... always thought..."

Zoe always thought that her superpowers were bestowed by the phoenix, magic, telepathy, mind manipulation... The phoenix can control any form of energy, and the magic power is produced under her influence. The talent she possessed, she thought it was because the phoenix had always existed in her body that she had such an extraordinary ability.

"It's said on TV that mutants will awaken during puberty, and they usually go through a process of awakening," Zoe said with a blank face, "I haven't experienced this kind of awakening at the genetic level."

"There are also very few mutants who have these special abilities from birth. There are several children in my school who are awakened from birth." Charles patiently explained, "I can't admit it wrong, mutants The brain wave fluctuations emitted by humans and ordinary people are fundamentally different, and your brain wave fluctuations are exactly the same as those of mutants—you are a mutant.”

"...Well, I'm not very surprised by this statement." Zooey sighed, Phoenix said some time ago that she was not a wizard.

"So, can you tell me about your mutant ability?" Charles asked gently.

Zoe nodded, "I'm almost a psychic, just like you. I can use my psychic power to control others and read their minds. But besides that, I have other abilities. I can transfer all material They are all broken down to the atomic state, and objects can also be controlled with thoughts..."

Zoe is sure that the phoenix is ​​not generated with her mutant ability, and the state between them is more similar to symbiosis and parasitism.

Zoe's magical ability was generated under the influence of the power of the Phoenix, so what she did with magic should be attributed to the power of the Phoenix, not the mutant ability.

The abilities that Zoe just described were all possessed by her before she went to Hogwarts.

The phoenix is ​​so powerful that she can even reverse time and create life out of thin air. Zoe's magic has also undergone a qualitative change under the influence of it.

For example, turning a teacup into a hamster, the wizard's magic cannot change the essence of the teacup, but Zoe can turn into a living hamster made of carbohydrates, this ability can be called the power of God to some extent , because Zoe can create life out of thin air.

Phoenix once said that her power is Zoe's power.

If the abilities brought to Zoe with the Phoenix Force are also carefully counted... she will probably become one of the mutants with the most diverse mutant abilities in the world.

Charles frowned, and he said in a very soft voice: "It's so similar, you and Qin, her main ability is spiritual."

"Maybe we are destined? I really want to meet her." Zooey said casually.

Charles smiled slightly, "There will be a chance. Qin has been home for the past few days. She said that she will return to school this afternoon, and you will meet soon."

"I came here mainly to ask for your help," Zooey got to the point, "I want you to help me find someone, my cousin Harleen, she is missing. I heard that there is a device here that can emit brain waves , you can find anyone in the world with this instrument."

"Yes, I can, it's easy." Charles agreed without hesitation.

"There is one more thing about Wanda and Pietro, the two children I brought here." Zoe said, "They were captured by Hydra a few years ago and have been used as their test subjects. Can I connect to your mind? So that I can transmit myself directly to you, so that you can understand what happened more intuitively."

"No problem, thank you for being willing to do this... Others always have reservations about me, and they don't want to show their brains to me." Charles smiled.

Zooey noticed that his eyes were a charming azure blue, full of tolerance.

The minds of the two of them were connected, and Zoe transmitted part of her own memory. Charles closed his eyes to receive the complicated information. After a while, he opened his eyes, and the blue eyes that were originally full of tolerance were beating with anger.

"I don't expect this organization to do anything full of humanity." Charles said in a low voice, "You control everyone in that base, right?"

"Yes." Zooey said frankly.

She used her strength where it should be used, so facing Professor X's thoughtful eyes, Zooey didn't feel guilty or ashamed.

"Among all your peers, you are the best group. You have wisdom, strength, and calmness when encountering problems," Charles said with gentle eyes, "If other people in the X-Men meet with you In the same situation, they may not be able to handle it better than you."

Zooey's eyes widened slightly, which was an unexpected compliment.

"I hope you will always use your power correctly." Charles said, "Sorry, I can't help but preach, forgetting that you are not my student... This is probably a common problem of teachers."

"If possible, I hope Wanda and Pete can study in this school." Zoe said, "The elders in the family once thought about letting them go to a school for ordinary people, but they were afraid that the two children would be excluded. I think studying at Xavier School would be the best choice."

"Thank you for trusting me and this school," Charles said. "I can talk to Wanda and Pietro and see what they think."

"If they can go to school here, the two siblings will probably be very happy." Zooey looked down from the window of this office. Standing with arms folded, watching them make a fuss.

"I think you must know Captain America and his Roaring Commando." Zoe said, "Would you be surprised if I said that the man down there is actually Captain America's best comrade-in-arms, James Barnes? "

"I'm really surprised, and I sympathize with what happened to him." Charles said softly, "This is not what a hero deserves. Heroes should meet the applause and praise instead of lying in the freezer like a corpse, or like a robot." Carrying out the master's orders. Like I said... I don't expect anything human from Hydra."

"So they should pay the price." Zooey said blankly.

"This is what I should do. They persecute the mutants, so I should stand up for the mutants." Charles also looked out the window, "The program in his brain has a solution, but there are some troubles. I can first Set up a mental barrier in his brain, block those brainwashing programs in the depths of his brain, and then slowly clear it away."

"That's good." Zooey breathed a sigh of relief.

She can actually remove the brainwashing program, but her method is too rough compared to Charles.If Zoe takes action, she will clear Bucky's entire brain just like clearing the storage files on a computer hard drive... In this way, he will really lose his memory, instead of recovering from drinking potions for half a month like Tony .

……

After coming out of Charles' office, Zoe visited the campus under the leadership of Scott. The Wanda siblings and Bucky were having a long talk with Professor X.

"See that tree that was split?" Scott pointed at the scorched tree that was split in two in the middle of his finger, "I did it. When I first came to X Academy, I tested my ability under the guidance of Professor Charles. , I didn’t control it well, and the laser beam came out of my eyes... Then I split the tree planted by the professor’s grandfather.”

"That tree is so pitiful." Zoe looked at Scott reproachfully.

"My nickname is Cyclops," he said, pointing to the red sunglasses on his face, "If I don't wear glasses, lasers will burst out from my eyes, and I don't want to blow up everything I see. Pretty bad."

"No, that's pretty cool," Zoe said. "Can you show me? Eyes shoot laser beams."

"It's possible, but we have to go to a safe place." Scott said, "The professor gave us a place to practice our abilities."

"boom--!"

The huge simulated sparring robot was blown up in an instant. Scott took off the red sunglasses, and the laser beam shot back and forth with his movements. It really echoed his words, "Destroy wherever you see." .

Zoe couldn't help applauding him. She rarely saw mutants with powerful abilities in person, and TV reports were never as shocking as being there.

"It's just this power..." Fenghuang said disdainfully, "Why do you applaud him?"

"My attack method is not as cool as his at all," Zoe said, "and the attack distance is not that far."

"You can try it," Phoenix said lazily, "maybe your eyes can also emit laser rays? Then you will become cool."

"Are you kidding me?" Zoe said suspiciously, "Which mutant ability is there?"

"How do you know you haven't if you don't try?" Phoenix asked back.

...No, can I really spray laser on my eyes?

Zooey touched her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and began to try to gather energy around her eyes.

After blasting a wave of robots, Scott put on red sunglasses, looked back at Zoe, his expression turned pale with shock, "Why did your eyes turn red? Are you still shining?!"

Zoe suddenly raised her head and looked at the metal target closest to them. A dazzling red ray burst out from her right eye. The metal melted into a puddle of liquid.

The attack power of the red ray still did not weaken. It pierced through the metal target and hit the thickened wall behind. Amid the explosion sound of the ground shaking, a big hole was blasted out of the wall.

"...I didn't mean it." Zooey said, covering her right eye.

Scott was dumbfounded, "I'm not related to you, are we?"

The author has something to say: monocular laser

So the question is, who is Zoe's relative?

……

in comics

The eyes of Cyclops are connected to a different dimension, the energy bursting out of his eyes can charge the Phoenix, the effect is good?
