Time is passing by every minute and every second.

Magneto glanced at his watch, "3 minutes, time is up."

The clown took the knife and walked towards the unconscious Mayor of Gotham. Under the light, the blade shone with a cold silver light, coupled with his terrible makeup, it made people feel even more frightened.

Martha knew they were not joking.

The clown is psychologically distorted, and killing/setting/setting people is commonplace for him; the mayor of Gotham is not a mutant, and Magneto doesn't care about his life or death at all.

If it was changed to the past, Martha would probably feel that the matter has nothing to do with her, and hang herself high.But after being a superhero for a period of time, some changes have taken place in her inner world, and she has a little more sense of justice.

She is insignificant compared to the society guarded by many superheroes who put their lives on the line.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

During these days of fighting side by side, she learned from them what responsibility is.Even an insignificant person should shoulder responsibility, make correct behaviors, and be responsible to the society.

The clown walked up to the Mayor of Gotham, and was just about to squat down and cut off his fingers, when Martha, who had been silent all this time, finally said, "...don't hurt him, I am willing to agree to your request."

"That's right." Magneto smiled, which was more terrifying than when he didn't smile, "You are welcome to be our partner."

Martha turned her face away, extremely unwilling to admit this "partnership".

Magneto didn't have time to care if she was voluntary or not. He took out a box from his pocket, which contained a strangely shaped needle/barrel.

Seeing him take out the needle/tube, Martha suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, "You...what do you want to do?"

"I'm going to give you a gift as a welcome to join." Magneto grabbed her arm and inserted the needle/head hard.

Martha cried out in pain on the spot, and felt a cold liquid flow from the needle/barrel into her body.

She glared fiercely at Magneto, "What did you inject me with?!"

"A kind of liquid metal." Magneto threw the empty needle/barrel back into the box, "It can shield Charles's induction, and it usually won't cause harm to the human body. I call it an upgraded version of the 'chip' .”

Martha didn't want to know what it was called, she only cared about the previous sentence he said, "What do you mean it won't cause any harm to the human body?"

In other words, this thing is still harmful, right?Could it be metal poisoning after a long time?

Magneto smiled, raised his hand, and said, "Have you forgotten my ability?"

At this moment, Martha felt that something was pressing her heart tightly, and she couldn't breathe immediately, and broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

"Don't try to play any tricks, and don't even try to inform Charles, otherwise, when he comes here to save you, there will only be a corpse with a burst heart." Magneto sneered, and made a threatening blow Her heart gesture.

Martha felt a pain in her heart, snorted, and asked heavily, "You, you...what do you want me to do?"

"Monitor the President of the United States and report his itinerary at any time."

Martha sneered, "...You guys are really crazy for thinking of targeting the President of the United States."

The clown smiled.This sentence is a kind of affirmation and praise for him, "You are right, all this is just the beginning."

on the other hand.

It has been more than ten hours since Martha disappeared, and Bruce has used all resources and connections to almost search Gotham, but there is still no trace of Martha.

He lost people, so he has to take responsibility no matter what.He called Tony and told him the situation, "Martha is missing."

Tony, who was taking a break from his busy schedule, was tasting the red wine and almost choked, "What?!"

Bruce told him the details, and Tony frowned more and more.

If he hadn't had a good tutor, he would have wanted to yell at the teacher on the other end of the phone to ask for guilt.

He wouldn't want to lend Martha to him if the US government hadn't put pressure on him to deal with it.As a result, he has lost his person now, and he still needs to call to ask him to help find him?

Although Tony was very upset with Bruce, Martha was his partner, and he had to get her back, "I'm going to locate her cell phone."

"It's useless, her cell phone was blown up at the mayor's house in Gotham." Otherwise, he would have used this method to find someone.

"Wayne, don't you have any clue?" Tony felt that this matter was not that simple.

Martha usually stays either in the Avengers Headquarters or X Academy, it is impossible to take her away quietly, so those people took this opportunity to do it...

No, maybe they even planned the disappearance of the Mayor of Gotham.

Bruce on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time before speaking, "It's not that he has no idea at all, but he and Martha are strangers, so it's unlikely that he will kidnap Martha."

"Who?"

"……clown."

Tony's hand froze.

He had heard of this name even in New York.

"Why do you doubt him?"

"He kidnapped the mayor of Gotham."

Tony understood that Bruce already knew who was behind the scenes, but he didn't know where the Mayor of Gotham was hidden.

"You bastard..." Tony gritted his teeth, and hung up the phone before swearing even worse.

If this incident really has something to do with the Joker, then Martha must be in a very dangerous situation.

Tony didn't dare to procrastinate, and ordered Jarvis to find Martha's location by all means, and immediately put on his equipment and flew to Gotham.

Bruce knew that Tony was coming and had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Stark..."

Before Bruce finished speaking, he was punched by Tony who had just reached the ground, "You bastard! I lent you an important companion to help, and you didn't protect her well!"

Obviously he could avoid the punch, but Bruce didn't dodge it.He was indeed full of guilt towards Martha, and he was also ashamed of Tony's trust in him, "I'm sorry."

"Master." Ah Fu silently handed over a clean handkerchief and asked him to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Tony calmed down a bit, put on his gear again, and prepared to take off, "Let's go to the Mayor of Gotham's house first."

The house of the mayor of Gotham has been blown into ruins. Several people died on the spot, and others were injured to varying degrees, and some were still unconscious.

The casualties have been identified and Martha was not inside.

Tony walked around the scene, but got nothing, so he had to go back to meet Bruce first.

Bruce polled everyone who was at the Mayor's house in Gotham that day, and it quickly became apparent that there was something wrong with their nanny.But when he arrived at the nanny's house, it was already empty.

After finally getting some eyebrows, the clue was broken here again, and Bruce couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.

At the same time, Tony also received a message from Jarvis.

Jarvis intercepted all the surveillance footage in Gotham City after Martha disappeared, but still did not find Martha.

In addition to worrying about Martha's safety, Tony is more worried that Martha's abilities will be used by bad guys. He even thinks that the clown will capture Martha because of her abilities.

Hope his premonition doesn't come true.

Tony and Bruce, who were acting separately, met and exchanged information, and found that the situation was much more serious than imagined.

The whole thing was a premeditated and planned crime, and the clown must have targeted Martha from the beginning.

If you drag it on, things will become more and more troublesome.In desperation, Tony decided to ask Professor X for help.

A look of surprise flashed in Bruce's eyes after listening.

Wasn't Professor X injured and unconscious in the last incident?Why would Iron Man ask him for help?

"Hello, Professor X?" Tony called quickly.

"I am." Charles on the other end of the phone closed his book.

In fact, he should have fallen asleep at this time, but for some reason, he always felt restless tonight and didn't feel sleepy, so he just read the book until now.

"Martha is missing." Tony went straight to the point, "I want to ask you to help find where she is."

"What happened?" Charles finally understood why he was restless tonight. It turned out that he had never felt Martha's brain waves.

Tony talked about the general situation, except for Batman's identity, "I suspect that the Joker took Martha, but I can't find where he hid Martha. And the longer the time drags on, the more Martha's situation will become." more dangerous."

Charles on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and Tony almost thought he was so angry that he hung up the phone, when he suddenly heard him say: "I just searched, but I couldn't find Martha's brain waves, maybe it's because the distance is too far. Let me try Find it with a device that enhances brainwaves."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Charles is willing to help, and Tony is really grateful.

"The clown took Martha because he wanted her abilities, so the clown shouldn't do anything to her."

Tony could hear the tension and worry in Charles' tone, and he didn't know whether the words were for himself or for him.

"I hope so." Tony rubbed the space between his brows, hoping that things would go so smoothly.

The clown is notoriously perverted, even if he doesn't kill Martha, there are plenty of ways to torture her.
