[Comprehensive British and American] Alien girls are still saving the earth today

Although curious as to why Charles was standing at the gate of the small auditorium at Midtown High School instead of sitting in a wheelchair, Jinx forcibly turned his attention away from the person standing at the gate and back to the front of him. On timpani.

At this time, the music has reached the melody of "God Bless the Emperor", and the timpani mixed with the magnificent sound of the music is even more powerful. She cast her eyes on the conductor at the front, and the drumsticks in her hands followed the conductor. Hitting the drum, the fiber material on the earth is no better than the seaweed in the deep spring galaxy. She carefully controls her strength to ensure that it will not damage the public property of the school. , She put almost [-]% of her energy into it.

She was standing on the high platform at the end of the stage, the farthest from the auditorium, but also the most colorful. Looking from the auditorium, I could only see a tall and slender black-haired boy standing behind a row of timpani drums. Every time you tap it, you can push the music to another climax, as if you hold the soul of the entire "Slavic March".

At this time, the direction of the baton in the conductor's hand changed, and the sound of the violin came down quickly. Jinx held the drumsticks in both hands and struck the drum continuously, advancing the final climax layer by layer. After hitting the last accent, she She straightened up, raised her hands high, raised her eyes, and looked eagerly for the figure opposite, but at this time the gate was empty, and she looked at the dark auditorium again, and within a few seconds, hundreds of She scanned the faces one by one, but didn't see any of the faces she wanted to see.

The performance was over. Amidst the thunderous applause from the audience, the conductor in Juliet's white dress turned around and bowed deeply towards the auditorium. Jinx also stood up from his seat along with other orchestra members. , walked to the front of the stage and bowed to the audience.

Jinx looked at the auditorium absent-mindedly, and didn't pay attention to what the teacher, Mrs. Merlin, was saying excitedly with the microphone. After the curtain closed, she greeted Peter and ran backstage immediately.

After the performance of the symphony orchestra, it was followed by "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by the drama club. The members of the drama club were preparing nervously backstage at this time. The girl who played Hermia was a classmate of the same biology class as Jinx , saw Jinx running back from the stage and was about to go up to say hello, but Jinx had already passed through the busy crowd backstage and ran out of the small auditorium.

Jinx didn't know where Charles would be at this time, and she even suspected that the Charles she saw before might just be imagined by herself.

After all, it was Charles who could walk freely and only appeared in her mind.

Outside the small auditorium, there was still fierce sunlight in the autumn afternoon. The sunlight was far more dazzling than the stage lights. She walked out from the backstage side door, covered her eyes with her hands, and squinted her eyes.

Next to the small auditorium is the track and field. At this time, most of the students of Midtown High School are gathered in the small auditorium to watch the program. There are only a few people playing football in the track and field. Compared with the lively scene in the past, it seems a bit depressed.Outside the barbed wire fence of the track and field field is a row of tall sycamore trees, under which there are a lot of bicycles standing in disorder. If Ms. Smith saw it, they should put a seal on each bicycle and let the owner claim it by himself.

Jinx was walking forward on the path between the small auditorium and the track and field. She heard a burst of music coming from the small auditorium. It should be the opening of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by the drama club.

In the opening score of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Jinx sees Charles under the sycamore tree at the end of the path.

He's wearing the thin knit that Jinx thinks looks good, exposing his Adam's apple and well-shaped collarbone, and it's loosely tied at his waist in light-colored jeans, giving him a youthful yet poised look.He squatted under the tree, gently scratching the chin of a little white cat with his right hand. The little white cat raised its head and squinted its eyes, and opened a slit to look at him from time to time, purring from its throat.

Trees and people, people and cats, in the sunshine of early autumn, seem to be a delicate and elegant watercolor painting.

Jinx stopped not far from him, the wind made the leaves of the sycamore trees whirling, and several people playing football inside the barbed wire were still talking and laughing loudly, as if they had passed through layers of filters when they passed through her ears , leaving only noises too insignificant to attract her attention.

Charles smiled and nodded the kitten's forehead, then turned his head and saw her.

At that moment, Jinx thought about her last phone call with Charles.

Charles told her that thinking is not to trouble her, but to let her know what she wants to do most.

Naturally, she said, be a good soldier.

That was her ideal after returning to the Deep Spring Galaxy. In the Deep Spring Galaxy, where all citizens are soldiers, force represents everything, and the soldiers who open up the territory for the mother planet are not only the guarantee of the survival of the planet, but also the most revered object of the planet residents.

However, Charles said softly: "This is your ideal, so now, what do you want to do most now?"

She blurted out: "See you."

At that time, she thought of the Charles who turned on the sea switch for her by the water lily pond, the Charles who smiled and invited her to eat pizza through the window, and the Charles who quietly slipped a note under her door.

New York is not far from West Chester, even for Pietro and Kurt, it is only a few seconds away.

However, the emotion of "missing" was faster than that of Quicksilver and Nightcrawler, and it made her think back to the school in the outer suburbs of Westchester Town in an instant. Through the glass window in the small garden, she glimpsed Charles grading student papers under a desk lamp.

Charles's hair, his eyebrows, and his eyes were as clear in her imagination as if she had seen them herself. She could even imagine that he would raise his eyebrows when he corrected Michael's test paper, shake his head with a smile, and his hair would be in his eyes. The corners of his eyes swayed slightly, casting an unclear shadow on his cheek under the light of the not-so-bright desk lamp.

However, these did not satisfy her.

Whether it is the somewhat distorted sound transmitted to her ears through the current, or the imagination assembled frame by frame in daily life.

It was the first time she wanted to see someone so much, so she said frankly, "I see you."

In the education she received in the deep spring galaxy, she didn't know how to locate such a scratching feeling, nor how to treat such a scratching person, so she chose to be honest about her thoughts, Then I heard Charles' helpless laughter on the other side of the phone: "Jinx...you really..."

What happened to her, Charles didn't say, and she didn't know, maybe as Anthony said, people on earth are always incomprehensible.

Charles rubbed the kitten's forehead, then stood up, and he took a few steps towards Jinx, and the kitten also wrapped around his ankle, stumbling along behind him.

"The performance is over," Jinx said.

She had a very calm expression on her face, but she felt that her heartbeat missed a beat just like the timpani rhythm she had beaten before.This strange feeling made her a little overwhelmed. She looked at Charles who was walking towards her, and took a step back a little at a loss.

"It's me, don't be afraid." Charles said with a smile.

Jinx opened his eyes slightly to see him approaching, watching himself become more and more clear in his eyes.

"You..." she said, "How can you stand up?" She blinked, "Have you entered my mind again?"

"No." Charles coughed a few times and smiled helplessly, "This is Henry's little invention, which allows me to stand up in a short time."

Jinx tilted his head, Henry still has this kind of operation?

"Then..." She wanted to say why Charles didn't rely on this medicine to live a healthy life, but with just two words, she understood that everything has two sides, there is gain, there must be loss.

"I used to rely on this potion to escape reality." Charles said, "but later, I knew that reality cannot be escaped."

"Then why did you use this potion again?" Jinx asked.

Charles looked at her and smiled, his eyes seemed to be filled with sunshine, clear and hot, he reached out and touched Jinx's head dressed as a gloomy and beautiful boy: "Because there is a little girl who wants to see me."

With a sound of "wow", a cheerful dusky dolphin jumped out of the calm sea, and even the cheerful and mischievous chirping of the dolphin could be heard.

"So...you just..." Jinx raised his head slightly, looked at him, his pupils dilated slightly, "From West Chester to New York?"

Charles: "..."

Charles took a deep breath, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly saw two people walking behind Jinx, and slowly withdrew the tenderness in his eyes that could almost drown people, and then nodded to the person behind Jinx with a smile: "Pa Mrs. Smith..." He paused, "Mr. Harris."

Jinx also noticed someone coming from behind, she turned her head and saw Michael's grandmother Ashley leading a tall middle-aged man walking over.That middle-aged man was handsome and gray-haired. He was the legend of Midtown High School, Hogan Harris.

"Professor Xavier, I can see you here." Ashley was quite surprised to see Charles, "You..." She wanted to ask why Charles could stand up, but Charles had already taken up the conversation with a smile: "Is Mrs. Pass here?" Going to a homecoming event?"

Ashley knew that Charles didn't seem to be talking about this topic, so she smiled and said, "Yes, I haven't been to my alma mater's homecoming for many years." She paused, "Do you know Hogan too?"

Charles smiled politely: "There was a relationship many years ago."

Hogan Harris also nodded with a smile: "At that time, Professor Xavier was still studying for a doctorate in psychology at Yale University, and he was still my junior. He had already achieved quite a lot at a young age."

"It turns out that Hogan and Professor Xavier are also alumni, what a coincidence." Ashley said with a smile, and then said to Jinx, "This Hogan Harris is the one I mentioned to you. The student leader who brought the Midtown High Symphony Orchestra to glory, and now works for S.H.I.E.L.D.

She said, and introduced Jinx to Hogan: "This is Jinx, the timpani player of the Midtown High School Symphony Orchestra. I think you have heard her play just now."

Hogan looked at Jinx and smiled: "The third bar of the second paragraph missed a beat, but it was still a very wonderful performance." He extended his right hand to Jinx, "I still need to thank you again Grace for saving lives."
