The news of Karen's return quickly spread to Little Spider and Oscar through Mark.

As dinner neared, Oscar dropped by with a bouquet of flowers.

Karen took the bouquet from Oscar's hand in some surprise, and asked, "Today doesn't seem to be my birthday, why did you suddenly send me flowers?"

Oscar laughed and said, "Isn't it because you can't send you flowers on your birthday?"

"No, that's not what I mean." Karen lowered her head and sniffed the fragrance of the flowers, "I'm just surprised."

"I heard from Mark that you came back safe and sound, so I think I should send you a bouquet of flowers." Oscar smiled, "Is it to calm your shock? Or, it can also be used as a celebration of your successful escape from the 'kidnapper'." escape."

Karen had a smile on her face at first, but when he talked about escaping from the 'kidnappers', her smile faded from her lips, saying, "Speaking of which... there's really nothing to celebrate." She walked in with flowers in her hands.

Oscar sensed Karen's mood change, followed her and asked, "Hey, Karen, are you okay?"

Karen didn't answer, but just led him to the living room.

Oscar looked at Karen's back, smiled to himself, stepped forward and put his arm on her shoulder, and said, "Karen."

Karen turned her head and saw Oscar's warm smile. She touched her forehead and said, "I'm fine, really."

Oscar shook his head, took the bouquet of flowers from her, walked into the living room holding her arm, and said softly: "We are good friends, aren't we? You don't have to pretend that nothing happened in front of me, to be honest , even a fool knows that no matter who it is, it is impossible to be okay in a situation like yours."

Karen remained silent and sighed softly, yes, Oscar was right.However, no matter how worried she was, she couldn't say anything to Oscar. The only thing she could say was probably the word "it's okay."

Oscar gently sat Karen on the sofa, put the bouquet on the tea table, sat down on the single sofa closest to her, stared at Karen, who was obviously a little distracted, and said for a long time : "Mark said, the person who kidnapped you..."

Karen looked at Oscar blankly, waiting for him to continue.

Oscar looked back at her and said, "Are you sure that the person who kidnapped you is Magneto?"

Karen frowned, recalling her previous experience in that metal room, and said, "I don't know, I can't be sure because he didn't tell me who he was."

"Well, let's not talk about that first, so why did he kidnap you?" Oscar asked.

Why kidnap me?Karen raised her eyes and stared at Oscar. After a long time, her brows became more tightly frowned, "He...they... well, to be honest, I don't know."

Oscar looked at Karen silently.

Karen sighed and said, "I really don't know." She pressed her forehead, "When I woke up, I wasn't given a lot to talk about, but he seemed to know my parents. "

"Are you sure you don't know him?" Oscar thought for a while, took out his phone and started searching.

"What are you doing?" Karen asked.

While browsing the web, Oscar said, "I remember when the X-Men were very popular, there were pictures of them on the Internet." He let out a haha, and handed the phone to Karen, "The person you met today, Is that the one in the photo with the helmet on?"

Karen leaned over and saw a not-so-clear photo on the phone screen. A man in a dark purple shirt was standing on top of the ruins, with a helmet of the same color on his head. Because the shooting distance was a bit far, only He could vaguely see the facial features of this person.She stretched out her hand to zoom in on the photo, contemplating it for a while.

"Is it this person?" Oscar asked.

Karen recognized it for a long time, nodded slowly, and said, "Yes, although the photo is blurry, it is definitely him."

"Then, it is indeed Magneto King Eric Lanshere." Oscar took back the phone, "You said that he seems to know your parents, obviously your kidnapping should be related to your parents."

Karen was silent, remembering that Magneto mentioned mutants, he said that she was not as good as low-level mutants, remembering that his whole body burned and burned the belt that restrained him, and covered his face.

Twenty years ago, young Karen stood barefoot on the stairs, looking down through the carved wooden railing, and three men in black stood in the foyer, saying to her parents, "You must come with us!"

The father refused: "We have withdrawn from the Freemasonry, and we will never participate in any battles with humans."

"James, you're making it hard for me," one of the men said.

The mother stood beside the father and said, "Why don't you go find someone else?"

"Why did we come to you, haven't you thought about it?" The man sneered, "Don't forget, the oath you swore when you joined the club is not a child's play."

The father said coldly: "Yes, we established an oath to protect the rights of mutants, but what have you done for mutants? Nothing! I only saw you killing innocent people at will, and they even helped Mutants."

"No one is innocent during a confrontation with humanity, don't be naive, James," said the man, "you must come with me today."

"No!" The father pushed his mother behind him and raised his hands towards the three men. In an instant, his arms shone red like a hot iron.

"Karen."

"Karen?"

"Karen!!"

Karen raised her eyes abruptly, staring blankly at Oscar.

Oscar reached out and gently held her shoulder, and asked worriedly, "Hey, what's the matter? Are you okay?"

"I am fine."

But how could it be all right?

Magneto's words, the flames that appeared on her body, and the residual memories of her parents in her childhood, put together to show the fact that her parents are mutants, and she should be a mutant as well.

To be honest, Karen never thought that her parents were mutants when she grew up.

Oscar stood up and walked in front of Karen, knelt down slowly, held her hands, and said, "Karen, no matter why Magneto kidnapped you, listen, I am here, and I will never allow this to happen The second time, so don't worry and don't be afraid."

Karen lowered her eyes, looked at Oscar holding her hands, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Oscar."

Oscar held her hand tightly, and said briskly, "You're welcome, we're friends, aren't we? Well, can you tell me with your smile that you're okay?"

Karen twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "I can't really laugh, because I feel like there is a computer in my head that is about to go on strike, spinning the cpu crazily, so, sorry, Oscar, I can't laugh. "

Staring at Karen's frustrated face, Oscar shrugged helplessly and said, "Well, I can understand."

Karen raised her eyes, stared at Oscar for a moment, and said, "I'll be fine."

"Really? Are you sure?" Oscar asked.

Karen looked into Oscar's blue eyes, suddenly smiled wryly, and said, "I'll try my best. After all, in my to-do list, there still seems to be a lot that I haven't dealt with properly."

Oscar was silent for a while, and said, "If you need my help, don't be polite to me."

"Karen?" There was a knock on the door.

Karen and Oscar turned their heads to look, and Mark stood by the door and said, "Aren't you two hungry?"

"How can you not be hungry!" Karen smiled at Mark, pulled her hand out of Oscar's clenched hand, and said, "Let's go, you probably haven't eaten dinner either, have you?"

Oscar watched Karen walking towards Mark, glanced at his empty hands, stood up slowly, and followed them out of the living room.

After dinner, Karen sent Oscar out. She stood by the door and looked at the back of Oscar leaving, and said to herself in her heart: Karen Bullock, no matter how many things are piled up in front of her eyes, it can't be done overnight, so, Don't panic, take things one by one slowly.

As for the first thing that needs to be addressed...

Karen pondered for a while, and decided to make a quick decision.

Queens, Vi/Nee's Bar.

Karen pushed open the wooden door of the bar. The bar was busy. Apart from the vacant seats at the bar, the tables in the bar were full of people. Although she was dressed in a simple T-shirt and jeans, she still attracted people's attention when she entered the door. , she looked around and saw Alex, who was sitting on the bar with a glass of beer in his hand.

However, just as she was about to walk towards him, she caught a glimpse of a man in black leaning on the bar counter not far from Alex, holding a glass of tequila in his hand. He swayed the glass casually, his pair of green eyes But like a black wolf staring at her firmly.

Karen paused slightly, it was Rocky!
