Humanoids on the way to upgrade [Comprehensive British and American]

The Avengers Building, one of the most eye-catching buildings in New York.

Looking at the eye-catching red letter A on the building in the distance, Zooey couldn't help but feel complicated.In the first universe, this building belonged to Tony Stark, and the sign hanging on it was not the letter A, but Stark Industries.

Magneto wanted to take Wanda and Zoe to the Avengers Building together, but Wanda persuaded him to give up this idea, because Magneto's character is really not suitable for negotiation.

Magneto originally had some extreme views on the Avengers. Since the Black Phoenix incident in 13, the X-Men and the Avengers have had friction with each other. These prejudices and festivals have not disappeared with the passage of time. Instead, it became more and more profound.

Wanda was very afraid that Magneto would do something irrational when facing the Avengers, so she refused Magneto to go to the Avengers Building with her.

Zoe thought Magneto would be displeased by Wanda's refusal, but he quickly agreed to Wanda's suggestion, and offered to go to X Academy to report the phoenix fragment to the professor.

It can be seen that Wanda has a very important weight in Magneto's heart...or Magneto also intends to train Wanda to become his successor.

But the Avengers issued an invitation to Wanda, which is a signal of goodwill, but in Magneto's view, the Avengers want to take Wanda away from him.

"You are a mutant, but you know magic?" Zoe asked curiously.

Her magic ability was bestowed by the Phoenix, which meant that Zoe herself did not have any magic ability, she could only manipulate magic with the power of the Phoenix.

But Wanda is different. She can cast magic while possessing mutant powers. This kind of magic is completely different from the wizard magic system that Zoe is familiar with. Wanda's magic is a more mysterious and deep-seated power. Closer to the "origin".

"Pietro and I have been wandering around since we were separated. It was about eleven or twelve years old. I don't remember exactly." Wanda sat in the driver's seat and drove, "I wandered to a place where I couldn't even pronounce my name. I wanted to steal something to eat, but I was an unqualified thief. I was caught stealing from a roadside restaurant for the first time. The owner of the shop was a gypsy witch. She adopted me and taught me Use the magical powers in your body. Dad has been tracking me and Pietro, and he found me in a short time, and I have been living with him since then."

"Why did you and Pietro separate? Is it also because of Hydra?" Zoe remembered that when she saw the Wanda siblings in the first universe, they were sleeping like corpses in Hydra's cryogenic cabin.

Wanda said, "It's really because of them... Hydra."

"I want to ask... As the leader of mutants, what is the difference between Professor X and Magneto?" Zoe asked seriously.

"Different? Of course there are differences." Wanda controlled the steering wheel of the car and turned a corner. "The professor wants mutants and humans to coexist peacefully. His attitude towards humans is softer... Dad's attitude is tougher. , He said that the human government must fully realize that mutants are not immune to being slaughtered, so that they will fear us and dare not bully us at will."

"Why doesn't the U.S. government dare to launch a large-scale war against countries with nuclear weapons? Is it because of the idea of ​​world peace and harmony in the world? No!" Wanda whispered, "It's because the government knows that if it launches In the event of a war, these nuclear weapons will blast blood holes in the body of the United States...Why does the United States dare to launch wars against weak countries in Africa and the Middle East? Because the government knows that these countries have no ability to threaten them."

"The best way to establish your prestige is to start a war. Will Magneto start a war for the benefit of mutants?" Zoe said.

Wanda glanced at Zooey and smiled, "If war is the last resort to solve the problem, I believe my dad will do it."

"That hasn't changed..." Zoe muttered to herself.

Whether in the first universe or the second universe, Magneto is an absolute radical.

However, from the standpoint of mutants, Zoe cannot say that Magneto's ideas are wrong, and she even faintly agrees with his ideas.As for Wanda, her thinking is undoubtedly on the side of Magneto.

"I guess you don't know much about the history of our universe, especially the history of mutants." Wanda said, "In the 60s, because of some news reports, mutants were exposed to the eyes of ordinary people... After that For decades, the controversy over mutants has never stopped."

"Can you talk to me carefully?" Zooey asked.

"Of course." Wanda said, "From the 80s to the 90s, the government has been propagating that mutants' superpowers are actually caused by diseases, and some research institutions have devoted themselves to researching drugs that can completely eliminate mutant abilities... Then mutants The first direct conflict with the human government broke out, and the final result was that the government gave up researching medicine on the bright side."

"There have always been radicals among mutants. They are often impulsive and irrational. This radical is completely different from my father's radical. To put it bluntly, this kind of person will only be the black sheep. In 2006, a group Radical mutants planned to assassinate the president of the United States, which caused a great uproar. Of course, these people failed to complete the assassination, but it made the anti-mutant sentiment in the society high... The government began to study the sentinel robots with the power of public opinion. The official statement is that these sentinels Robots will be used for security, but they are actually used to hunt down mutants... This matter was of course settled peacefully by the professor and my father."

"No matter which world mutants encounter, they always encounter so many disasters." Zoe said with mixed feelings.

"So I've had enough," Wanda said softly, "I've had enough of mutants being blamed and discriminated against for no reason. These anti-mutant policies implemented by the United States cannot completely eradicate mutants, they It can only weaken us...squeeze our living space, but it can never completely obliterate our existence." Wanda squeezed the steering wheel tightly, "That's why I feel extremely angry."

Zoe said: "It will change. Regarding the study of mutants in society, there are mutation theory and evolution theory. I am more in favor of the second one. Theoretical research says that mutants are the proof of human evolution, and they are 'new humans'. For this kind of research, although I have doubts about some theories, I have to admit that these speculations are not groundless."

"I think so too," Wanda agreed.

They soon arrived at the Avengers Building, Wanda drove the car to the parking lot, and the two stepped into the gate of the Avengers Building together.

As soon as Zooey entered the door, she felt the surveillance camera installed on the wall pointing at her.

Wanda glanced at the surveillance camera and said, "I don't think this place needs such a thing... If there are powerful enemies, this camera won't be of much use, not to mention that almost no one will come here in their free time. "

Stark Industries has transferred employees, and this building is now the exclusive gathering place for the Avengers. No enemy will be foolish enough to attack here, and no one will run to the superhero's territory.On the contrary, there are some fanatical fans who wait outside the building every day looking forward to seeing their idols. Later, these people were expelled, and the Avengers Building seemed very deserted.

A robot slid in front of Wanda and Zoe and said, "Welcome here, Miss Wanda Maximoff, Miss Zoe Summers."

"Oh, it seems that the surveillance camera in the lobby is also connected to the face recognition system." Zoe glanced at the robot and said.

The red light on the robot's shoulder flashed twice, and the LCD screen on its chest glowed, and a familiar face appeared on it.

"I thought you were rejecting the Avengers' invitation if you didn't reply to the email, Miss Witch." The man on the screen said, "You still brought your sister here... It's a pity that the Avengers don't recruit underage child labor."

Zoe: "..."

—Very good, Tony Stark!I remember your words!

Wanda's expression didn't change. "The X-Men have important matters to discuss with the Avengers. I want to talk to you, Stark."

"You? Are you representing the entire X-Men now?" Tony restrained his smile slightly.

"Yes." Wanda said affirmatively, "Especially Doctor Strange, I want to see him."

Tony frowned, paused for a few seconds, and said, "Take the elevator to the top floor, and we'll talk about it in detail."

The robot automatically turned a corner and led Wanda and Zoe to the elevator.

"Can you already represent the entire X-Men?" Zoe asked telepathically.

"It is impossible for mutants to stay out of this kind of major event that concerns the survival of the universe, let alone this matter is related to the Phoenix." Wanda replied, "Since according to what you said, we must obtain the help of the Supreme Mage, and Strand Strange is part of the Avengers, so the X-Men have to have some sort of partnership with the Avengers."

"I feel that you are better at handling external relations than Magneto," Zoe said.

"My dad just doesn't want to see them, I can be so calm now because I didn't go through the Dark Phoenix incident 13 years ago... the hatred in my heart is not as deep as the hatred in my dad's heart, so I can be at peace with the Avengers Talk to each other." Wanda was silent for a while, "I can understand how Dad feels."

The elevator quickly reached the top floor of the Avengers Building. Wanda and Zoe stepped out of the elevator door and were taken to Tony Stark's meeting room by the robot.

Tony was lazily sitting on the sofa with a glass of red wine in his hand. There was even a pool table in this spacious meeting room. It seemed that this guy was still playing pool leisurely before the two came here.

...well, it's very Stark.

Facing a familiar face, Zooey didn't know how to complain.

Tony glanced at Zooey and whispered, "This girl looks so familiar..."

It seems to be exactly the same as the beautiful girl on the screen saver of Peter's mobile phone.

The author has something to say: Because many basic settings are different, Wanda here is a semi-radical, because she has a very good relationship with Lao Wan, and her subconscious is influenced by her father.
