[Comprehensive Anglo-American] New York People's Suffering History

On the deserted road in the small town, Laura and Peter were walking in front and whispering. Soapy and Logan, who were far away, could still hear clearly. The two children were about to quarrel.

"Can't we even meet and say goodbye?" Within a day, Peter learned that Laura had left and that Harry was terminally ill.His only two friends announced in letters almost at the same time that they would disappear from his life immediately or soon.Peter was very angry with Laura's actions, but what he said was not angry at all, but full of grievances.

Laura was a little impatient: "I also said in the letter that I will go back to see you when I have time. Can we stop talking about this?" She knew that Soapy and Logan were looking at the scenery on the surface, but they were actually vertical. Listen to what she and Peter are saying.

"What if Soapy and I don't come over today?" Peter was worried rather than angry.

"I've already apologized and thanked you." Laura was also very wronged, and she was the one who got hurt.After learning of Logan's whereabouts, she didn't have time to say goodbye. She wrote a letter and sent it to Peter's house in a panic. She couldn't go to the school, could she? "Don't talk about it, okay? If it doesn't exist."

Laura tugged at Peter's skirt fawningly.

"Got it." Peter walked forward holding Laura's little hand as usual.

Logan, who had been watching the excitement, couldn't bear it anymore, and cursed in a low voice: "Stinky boy."

Soapy smiled and glanced at the dark-faced Logan beside him, and secretly sympathized with Peter more than ten years later. This father-in-law didn't seem easy to get along with. "Where are we going?"

"Xavier Genius Academy." Logan picked a leaf from a branch beside the road and flew towards Peter like a playing card.

"Hiss~" Peter's back hurt, he turned his head and saw Logan making a threatening gesture, obediently let go of Laura's hand, and put his hands behind his back.Unexpectedly, as soon as Peter let go, Laura took the initiative to lean over and forcibly held Peter's hands behind his back.Peter looked back at Logan carefully, and pointed to Laura to show that he had no choice but to do so.

Su Bi laughed out loud, and Logan glared at her: "Children don't know anything and are easily hurt. What are you laughing at?"

Soapy put away her smile in embarrassment. Of course, she agreed with the correct guidance of sex education for children.But this little girl was a brave little Laura, and Peter was such a good boy.Soapy nodded solemnly, feeling sorry for the parents all over the world.

Poor parents all over the world... When Soapy muttered these words in his heart, for some reason, he thought of Klaus.Klaus has never waited to see the US team. She used to wonder why Klaus, who is such a nice sweetheart, despises him so much?At this moment, she was suddenly moved, because Klaus really treated her like a daughter, so he felt that all the boys in the world were brats who were not worthy of their daughters.

"Are you crying?" Logan panicked when he heard Soapy's sobbing. "I didn't mean to kill you..."

He really couldn't do anything about crying girls, Laura and Peter walking far ahead, and he was the kind of man who never carried a tissue or handkerchief with him.Logan took off his coat and stuffed it to Soapy: "Don't cry, I apologize to you." It was almost the first time in his life that he dealt with a girl's delicate emotions, and it was considered to be in advance for the future getting along with Laura. He had to be more careful when talking to Laura in the future, the little girl was thoughtful and sensitive, and she was easily hurt.

Subi looked at the jacket in his hand and laughed, "This is a leather jacket, brother! I'm not angry with you, but just thinking of an old man in my family who, like you, dislikes my boyfriend very much."

"Your father?"

"No. An uncle who treated me well."

***

Logan led them across a lakeside meadow, and walked into a manor along a gravel road.

The little naughty Anna Marie, who was having a picnic on the grass with her friends, ran happily into Logan's arms when she saw Logan coming. "Have you decided to come back and live?"

Logan stroked the little naughty head without affirming or denying it. He left the academy to distract those who coveted his genes. There are too many children here, so he can easily be implicated. "Little rascal, where is the professor?"

"I'll take you there." Little Rascal enthusiastically took Logan's index finger with his gloved hand, and led him into the college building.

Laura was a little hostile towards the little rascal, and her displeased eyes focused on Logan's held hand.Soapy stepped forward to hold Laura's hand and whispered, "Don't be unhappy."

"I didn't." Laura was a little angry.When she met Logan for the first time, she received a lot of cold looks. Why can this girl called Little Naughty get along with Logan so naturally and intimately.

Soapy stroked Laura's head and smiled lovingly.

Professor Charles' office is at the end of the corridor on the second floor of the college. Little Rascal raised his hand to knock on the door, but Logan pushed the door open.With his back to the door, Charles, who was sitting in a wheelchair watching the scenery outside the window, turned around, with dark hair, blue eyes, and picturesque features. "Logan, long time no see."

"Professor, do you know that humans are hunting mutants?" Logan sat on the chair opposite Professor Charles.

"So I have been persuading you not to leave, as long as we are united, we can protect each other." Charles looked at the two girls and a boy who came in one step later. "Are these children also mutants?"

"Yes." Judging from the skill of Soapy and Peter when they rescued him, apart from the mutant Logan, he couldn't think of any other explanation.

"Little naughty, take the children to the academy for a stroll, Logan and I have something to talk about." The handsome and handsome Professor Charles was about the same age as Soapy in appearance, but he spoke in an old-fashioned way.

Little Rascal walked up to Laura, who was only as tall as her armpit, and gently stretched out her hand: "Hello, let me show you around!"

Laura didn't hold Little Rascal's hand. She stood still and said firmly, "I'm here with Logan, and I'm not going anywhere."

In order to resolve the embarrassment, Soapy stepped forward and grabbed the hand of the little rascal who was hanging in the air, and asked curiously: "When I came in just now, did I see swans swimming on the lake?"

Peter and Soapy went out with the little rascal.

Logan beckoned to Laura and sat down on the chair beside him. "Professor, if you just keep avoiding and giving in, mutants will not escape the fate of being slaughtered and enslaved. Dear Laura, tell the professor what you saw in the future."

Laura calmly narrated everything she experienced in the future and Charles' final fate.This kind of calm tone brings even greater shock to people, because only by getting used to it can one be so calm and neither angry nor startled.

Laura stared fixedly at the young Charles. She respected Charles, but Charles' attitude towards humans was a big hidden danger for mutants.Charles may be a hero to mankind, but some actions are really a betrayal of the ethnic group.

"I respect your contribution to mutants, and let them have a safe haven when they are discriminated against by humans. But Mr. Charles, humans' fear of us will never disappear, and the only way to survive is to become a ruler." Laura rolled up her long sleeves , revealing the old wounds on the arms that could not be healed: "This is left over from my experiment. In order to test whether Logan's genes are effective, they will use various methods to hurt us. The children who failed the experiment were all disposed of. Well, I'm lucky."

Charles listened quietly, not saying a word for a long time.

"Charles? It's time to call on the mutants to seize the ruling power, can't you easily do it?" Logan put down the sleeves for Laura to cover the scars, and said angrily to Charles: "You can take the initiative while protecting humanity."

"Logan. I hate war." Once the mutants make any changes, they will inevitably be resisted by humans, and the apparent peace has been broken after coming and going.There is no war without bloodshed, and when the time comes, these carefree children in the academy will be forced to join the fight.He has powerful psychic abilities and can control the thoughts and actions of others, but he cannot control all humans forever.

The human race that has ruled the world for thousands of years cannot be willing to hand over control. Even if mutants become the masters of the world, human beings are bound to continue to fight back.Charles could almost foresee those bloody scenes.

"Humanity's technology against us is constantly developing, and it will be too late." Laura agrees with Logan. If the mutant children in this world are only discriminated against, this discrimination will only intensify in the future, until Think of mutants as an outlier to humans.

"In terms of individuals, maybe we are strong, and a mutant can easily deal with an ordinary human. But you seem to have overlooked how huge the number of human beings is. As a whole, we are weak." Charles understands Logan and Laura's worries , the compromise between him and the government, and his tolerance for human beings, all the starting point is to protect mutants from surviving. "Logan, the fact now is that we simply don't have the strength to compete with human beings."

"What if we unite with other forces?" Logan asked.

"What do you mean?" Charles frowned.

"Those superheroes. Don't forget, Iron Man alone has a mech army."

Charles laughed: "They're human beings."

"Don't forget the human's fear of the strong. Aren't superheroes the villains who rely on and survive? Once there is peace, humans will definitely find a way to deal with them. That Hulk and Spider-Man are mutants, and they are also aliens in the eyes of humans. As for Captain America and Iron Man, you can use your mind control abilities."

Hearing Logan mention Peter and brother-in-law, Laura raised her face.

"Let me think about it." Charles held his forehead and persuaded suddenly: "Don't leave again, just stay here."

***

Laura and Logan decide to stay at the academy, and Soapy and Peter rush back to New York.

Peter reluctantly told Laura repeatedly: "Remember to keep in touch, I will come to see you when I have time."

Laura's whole mind was on Soapy, and she didn't listen to Peter's voice like the wind blowing in her ears.Logan was hesitating whether to tell Suby about the fact that Logan wanted to forcibly "win over" Captain America. She loved Suby and the captain, but she clearly knew that this matter might be a matter of the survival of the race.

Soapy is a vampire, Captain America is human, and she is a mutant.Once the mutants are in turmoil, she will be the opposite of the captain and even Peter.

"Soapy..." Laura called out Soapy who had already turned around.

"Huh?" Soapy turned around with a puzzled smile on his face.

Laura shook her head with a smile: "It's okay. You take care of yourself."

Subi will definitely stand with the captain, and if they meet again, they will be enemies.Laura watched Soapy and Peter go away sadly. She came back to this time and space to find Logan, but now she has a bigger ambition in her heart. She wants to fight for the living space of mutants. force.

"Daddy, I'm hungry." After Soapy left, Laura leaned against Logan's arms in front of Little Naughty in demonstration. She, who had never acted like a baby, actually showed her softness and harmlessness for the first time in her life in order to declare her sovereignty. He looks extremely attached to Logan.

Logan was also quite frightened.Although they haven't met for a long time, he also has a general idea of ​​Laura's character. Laura always calls him "Logan", and this is the first time he calls him his father.

"I'll take you to the cafeteria." Little Rascal is much older than Laura, and he doesn't mind Laura's indifference to her. Most of the children who are led into the academy have had unpleasant experiences before. Too easy to be with, too normal.

"Follow the little rascal." Logan gently pushed Laura towards the little rascal, and then told the little rascal: "Be careful, don't hurt her." Logan's injury refers to the wound that the little rascal can pass through the body. Contact, absorb people's memory and ability.

Little Rascal raised his hands in white silk gloves: "I will be very careful."

***

On the way back, Peter didn't say a word, lying on the open window and watching the scenery passing by the road.

"Can't bear Laura?" Soapy was a little tired, and yawned. She had been drained of too much blood, and she didn't drink enough. Today, she didn't stop for a moment from morning to night, and she couldn't lift her spirits.

Peter shook his head: "Not at all. I'm a bit envious of the kids in that college. When Little Rascal led us around, did you see a girl who could breathe fire by the lake spraying fire on the grill, and the friends around her cheering?"

"I see, it's really cool!" Soapy smiled: "There is also a child sitting under the tree chatting with butterflies, so cute."

"But if all this is found in our school, it will only be regarded as a weirdo. Everyone will only be afraid, and will not find it cool." Peter's tone was even more sad.

"You want to transfer here?"

"Aunt May won't be able to bear it." Peter didn't dare to have this kind of thought at all: "And I'm different from them, they were born like this, I'm not."

Soapy was about to ask Peter how he got Spider-Man's powers, and the mouth he opened closed again.She was worried that just like Laura's experience, Peter's mutation process was another sad story. She was very tired now and really didn't have the energy to comfort Peter, so she simply pretended not to be curious and changed the topic.

"That friend of yours... when are we going to find him?" Soapy didn't forget about saving lives.

"It's too late now, I'll go ask him what he means tomorrow."

"Well. I'll go home and ask Klaus. He has experienced a lot. If the risk is too great, we'd better think of other ways." She missed the Michelsons a little, although she knew that Klaus was very concerned about the afternoon. That phone call will break the casserole and even send out the whole family to persuade her to stay.

She still has to go back, who told her that she loves Teacher Ke more than bothering her!

Soapy drove the car directly to Peter's house.Peter was sleeping soundly while leaning on the chair. He had to go to class early tomorrow morning, so he leaned on the back of the chair to make up for his sleep under Soapy's persuasion.

Soapy pushed Peter: "Son, here we are."

Peter rubbed his eyes and saw that the lights in the room were still on, and asked in surprise, "How do you know I live here?"

"Who do you think is the one who brought Laura here to send you the letter? Go back and rest!" Subi beckoned to Peter, "I want to call the captain, but I lost my phone." The people in the group were lost, but it was because of Peter's face that they couldn't take revenge.

Aunt May was sitting on a rocking chair in the living room, covered with an old camel-colored woolen blanket.

"Aunt May?" Peter turned off the light in the hall, walked to Aunt May and gently woke her up: "Why don't you go back to your room and sleep?"

Seeing that her nephew finally came back, Aunt Mei was so worried, "I was worried that you would be scared when you came home too late, and I wanted to wait a while, but I fell asleep." Aunt Mei didn't ask where Peter was or who he was with. At the same time, an adolescent child who presses too hard will only make the child have a rebellious mentality. She only told her: "Next time you have something to come back late, remember to tell the family what you are going to do and what time you will be home."

"I'm sorry." Peter helped Aunt May up: "Go back to your room!"

"I'll go get you some hot food." Aunt Mei put down the blanket and walked to the kitchen.

"I've eaten, and I'm not hungry at all." Peter didn't finish his sentence, his stomach growled twice.

Aunt Mei glanced at her nephew's belly: "You are always hungry like this, you won't grow taller." She opened the refrigerator, and suddenly remembered the pale boy who had been at home during the day: "A boy came to find you at home, I don't know if it is Your classmate didn't even say what his name was."

"Is it blond? Half a head shorter than me? Thin and white?"

Aunt May recalled. "Yes."

It's Harry. "Did he say when he'll come back?" Peter thought about going to him tomorrow, and didn't want Aunt May to spend too much time getting sleepy, so he quickly said, "But it doesn't matter, I'll just go and find him."

***

Soapy parked the stolen car in front of the police station and went to the Michelson mansion.

She was prevented from entering by the barrier created by Freya's spell, and the protective layer was obviously strengthened.

"Nick! Rebecca! Freya!!!" Soapy shouted from outside the door.

Elijah came to pick her up.

"Elijah? Why can't I get in?" Soapy held out his hand, waiting for Elijah to pull her in.

Unexpectedly, Elijah shook his head at Subi.

"What did you say?" Soapy couldn't hear what Elijah said, and suddenly Klaus flew over and wrapped Soapy with a long rope made of rattan and pulled her in.

Elijah's eyes widened: "Nick! What did you do?"

"Look at her tired and bloodless face, are you leaving her to die outside?" Klaus' face was livid, and he saw that there was no moonstone ring on Soapy's ten fingers.

"I'm really fine." Soapy had already guessed that Klaus would be angry, and said in a flattering tone, "It's a blessing in disguise, you won't get sunburned if you don't wear the ring!"

"What if you will be sunburned to death?" Klaus' face did not improve at all: "Let's forget about the past, and you will stay at home in the future." A large number of werewolves flooded into New York, and the alliance will continue to transform vampires in order to expand its power , and the werewolf and the witch united again, Soapy had no idea how dangerous the outside world was.

"I'll take a look at Hope." Soapy was annoyed by the nagging, so he flashed a smile and went to Hope's room on the second floor.

"She will hate you." Elijah shook his head helplessly: "Nick, you didn't recognize your identity."

"She can still hate me, which means she is alive." Klaus threw the rope to Elijah: "I don't care."

Freya, who was coaxing Hope to sleep, did not show any joy when she saw Subi who suddenly appeared. She covered Hope with the quilt, and nervously pulled Subi out of the room to the balcony to talk.

"Subi? How did you get in?" The ancient enchantment she built was different from the past, and only people of Michaelson family blood could enter and exit freely.Freya had to think of the past between Klaus and Soapy's mother...

Could it be that Soapy is Klaus's own flesh and blood?

Freya was taken aback.

"Nick pulled me in, Freya, you are amazing, this protective spell is too powerful." Subi looked at the quiet mansion with peace of mind, no wonder the Michaelson family can survive for thousands of years, no matter how chaotic the outside world is, It's still quiet here.

Although Freya's heart that she almost liked being an aunt was settled, she had another worry: "Did Nick tell you anything? Before you came in?"

"Not before I came in. After I came in, Nick scolded me." Soapy stuck out his tongue: "He thought I couldn't take care of myself well, so he asked me to move back."

"Do you want to move back?" Freya waited breathlessly for Soapy's answer.

"I'm thinking about it, but so many things have happened, I don't feel relieved when I'm not around him." Soapy was of course America's sweetheart. "The vampire was killed by S.H.I.E.L.D., the disappearance of the captain's friend, the parents..."

"Honey, Santher is dead." Freya interrupted Soapy.

"The Great Elder of the Alliance?" At Santher's age, if he was an ordinary human being, everyone would not be surprised to hear the news of his death, but the old man died.But in the blood race, there is only one possibility for the sudden death of an ancient and powerful elder: "Who did it?"

"We only heard from Glen last night that he has returned to Minnesota. There are various possibilities for Sanser's death, but there is only one impact on the Michaelson family. We have no umbrella. Now the league will treat Nick and Marcel is watching, we have to fight alone, but fortunately Nick knows an ancient barrier that can protect us from harm." Freya pointed to the empty air outside the mansion: "The barrier that prevents you from coming in is indestructible. "

Soapy took in too much information at once, she organized her thoughts and came to a conclusion: "So you won't be in danger, right?"

"Yes. But only people with designated bloodlines can enter and exit this enchantment, and the rest of the people cannot enter or exit. However, I changed the spell a bit. The vine soaked in our family's blood can bring people in." Freya carefully watched Soapy's increasingly ugly face.

"Am I trapped here?" Soapy couldn't believe it. She flew directly from the balcony to the gate, and she was hit badly.

She had figured out the spell routine when she was studying with Freya. All spells had a way to be broken, and all enchantments had keys.

"Freya, can you let me out first before you make a barrier?" Subi almost begged.

"Yes. But the key to this enchantment can only be the heart of a powerful and immortal vampire, and I will not hurt Nick." Freya comforted Suby: "Don't worry, there is enough blood and food at home, what do you need? You can also get Elijah and Rebecca to go out and bring things back for you."

"Are we going to be stuck here forever?" Soapy cried anxiously.

"Nick dies, or I die, or when the time limit expires, the barrier will disappear." Freya hugged Soapy into her arms.

Soapy lay on Freya's shoulder, smelling the faint scent of herbs on her body: "How long is the time limit?"

"My ability is limited, I can only make the enchantment last for a year, so don't worry."

Soapy lay in the room that Sherlock had once lived in before, nestled under the quilt, and dialed Sweetheart's number on Freya's cell phone.

Captain America, who got nothing from the Aoshi Group, sat in the empty home and answered the phone: "Hello, who is it?"

"Honey." Soapy burst into tears when he heard the familiar voice.

"Where are you now? Did something happen again? Give me the address, and I'll pick you up right away." Captain America got up and was about to go out.

"I'm here with Nick. I'm fine. I just can't go out for the time being." Soapy took a few tissues from the bedside cabinet and complained to Klaus while blowing her nose. She knew Klaus could hear it and deliberately didn't use it The spell muffles the sound.

"He trapped you there to protect you?" Captain America was not as furious as Subi. He patiently waited for Subi to calm down after vomiting his bitterness, and gently persuaded Subi: "Klaus is for you." Okay, and isn't it only for one year? You can stay at home with peace of mind, and I will often visit you at the door. "

He learned that although Klaus's move was not willing to part with Soapy, he felt very relieved.

Soapy suddenly sat up from the bed and said excitedly, "I'm so stupid, you can come in and stay with me. Please ask Elijah and the others to find Mom, Dad and Bucky, right?" But she suddenly thought Peter, and his friend who was seriously ill. "I hate Nick. Do me a favor tomorrow darling and ask Peter to come here and find me."

"Okay. But I can't go in to accompany you, you understand, right?" Captain America wanted to chat a little more.

"I understand." Soapy didn't understand at all.
