Unexpectedly, the first person to answer Caius' question was Natasha.

"Sense of belonging." She tugged her curly hair casually, looked around at the crowd, and said with an upturned ending, "This job gives me a sense of belonging."

Whether it is the six-member family of the Avengers formed at the beginning, or the newly added children such as Scarlet Witch, Vision, and Little Spider who appeared later...they are all Natasha's belongings.

In her heart, this "family" is worth everything she pays - or rather, they are everything to her.

Hearing this, Steve Rogers thought for a while: "Then I should be 'responsible'?" As soon as the words came out, he shook his head and denied, "Not exactly."

If it's just for the illusory "sense of responsibility" and just want to be a symbolic "Captain America", Steve doesn't have to stick to it so seriously and responsibly.

"Maybe you can put yourself in another place?" Steve rarely wanted to joke, "everyone you save is 'Vanessa'."

Caius couldn't understand that this group of human beings seemed to be inherently persistent, and this group of people made him feel as if he had never really recognized human beings.

It's hard to imagine that he was once one of them.

Caius denied indifferently: "But there is only one Vanessa."

"What the cap means is, they're not your Vanessa, but could be someone else's 'Vanessa.'"

While talking, Tony added another glass of wine to himself, and did not forget to mock the topic: "Oh my god, such an old and vulgar routine conversation, please, can we change the topic?"

"Don't worry, I still want to hear your answer." Falcon who just came up from downstairs booed, "I remember you said that even if you don't become a superhero, you can still be a playboy, a millionaire Rich man, philanthropist—"

After being disturbed by him like this, the atmosphere became lively again from the coldness just now.

Tony reached out and asked Falcon to fill his glass, "Come on, then why don't you remember my other sentence?"

"Oh, how could we not remember!" Hawkeye said immediately, imitating deeply, "'IAMIRONMAN.'"

"Hahahahahahahaha!" Thor's hearty laughter instantly filled the room, and then he tried to share the joy with his brother, "Loki, Lo—"

Sol suddenly found that Loki hadn't responded for a long time, he frowned, and began to wonder if this always cunning brother had used some kind of blindfold to deceive himself again.

"Are you still here, Loki?" Thor put down the beer, and threw a bottle cap in Loki's direction.

"Of course." Loki raised his head after catching the little thing thrown by his brother accurately, with a perfect smile on his face, "I just think we've been out for too long, it's time to go back .”

"You're right." Although he was a bit reluctant, Sol could only bid farewell to his friends on Earth, "I'll come to Earth to have a drink with you after this matter is completely resolved."

Just as everyone was saying goodbye to Sol, Caius, who was thinking about something alone, suddenly raised his head. With his intuition, he accurately caught Loki's gaze.

This is not a kind look.

After circling thousands of possibilities in his mind, Caius suddenly realized something——

There are no flaws in his body that can give the god of pranks an opportunity to take advantage of.

...except Vanessa.

At this moment, the conversation between Vanessa and Charles has just come to an end.

After getting Charles' consent, she didn't choose to go back immediately, but chose to hang out in the huge x academy.

Xavier Manor at night has a different kind of beauty.After skimming away the hustle and bustle brought by the little mutants during the day, at night it is shrouded in moonlight, adding a third of mystery and depth.

Vanessa stood in front of a colorful glass window, she put her hands on the window sill, and the blowing evening wind brought the silence that belonged only to the night.

Looking at the dark sky, Vanessa thought of her mother for no reason.

Perhaps, after death, a person really becomes a star?The thought flashed through Vanessa's mind, and she laughed again at the thought.

The boundless starry sky can best show the eternal and vast loneliness and indifference of this world.

Even small stars floating in the sky will fall.

The oncoming wind was so cool that it was a bit dazzling, Vanessa half-closed her eyes, perhaps this world has long been proven that there is no such thing as eternity...

"Dear Vanessa."

A call suddenly sounded behind him, and at that moment, it seemed as if a meteor fell in his heart.She suddenly turned around——

"...Is there anything you want from me?" Vanessa said calmly, looking at the perfect face that was exactly the same as Caius's.

Loki's eyes flickered, could an ant in the courtyard recognize my illusion?

He clenched the "little gift" in his hand, if it was like this, it would be no fun.

So the tone of Caius, who was disguised by Loki, became more and more gentle: "You have been out for a long time, and I am a little worried about you, so I came to pick you up."

After saying this, he was taken aback.

ehome... Loki's eyes wandered, and Sol's figure appeared in his mind unexpectedly.

Afterwards, he once again remembered the future of another time and space presented in the space-time fragments he had picked up before——

Desperate Thor, broken home.

All of this must never happen again.Loki lowered his eyes and quietly changed the appearance of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube that had been hidden in his hands all along...

It is undeniable that Vanessa's heart beat violently when she heard the word "go home" from the other party's mouth.

Even knowing that the other party is not Caius—the flames above his head can prove everything—but saying such words with that face on is enough to make people's hearts move.

Vanessa shook her head. The perfect disguise of the person opposite made her suddenly have a bold guess.

Deliberately pretending to be hesitant, Vanessa asked softly, "Go home? Where?"

"Of course Stark Tower, dear."

Loki stepped forward and continued to bewitch.At this moment, he didn't realize that even if Vanessa didn't have the ability to see the fire above people's heads, this answer was enough to break his disguise.

Vanessa, who had already seen through everything, hurriedly took a step back, avoiding the other party's hand that tried to come forward to hold her.

The flames above the opponent's head flickered slightly with his movements, and Vanessa couldn't help but want to complain.

What's wrong with this evil god?Just want to play a prank?

While she was thinking in a daze, Caius, who had hurriedly arrived at the X Academy, happened to bump into this scene - standing in front of Vanessa was a person who looked exactly like her.

For a moment, panic and anger spread in Caius' heart.

He wanted to step forward directly to expose the fake appearance of the other party, but there was another voice in his heart tempting him: [Don't you want to see her reaction? ]

[Don't you wonder if she can recognize the real you...]

"You are definitely not Caius."

Vanessa's gentle but firm voice was carried by the wind.She was the sweetest floral scent of the night, like strong wine in her throat, and the violent and intuitive emotions hit Caius' mind overwhelmingly.

"—Vanessa."

This time, she didn't need to look back. The next second, Vanessa was already in Mr. Vampire's arms.

——After fighting in the daytime, her dependence on Caius has simply reached a new level.

Unexpectedly, the matter would be revealed so quickly, Loki pouted boredly as he looked at Bi Ren who was embracing each other.

Immediately, he looked at Caius with threatening and warning eyes, and immediately raised his hands to Loki, who knows current affairs as a gentleman, to show that he has no malice.

After taking off his disguise, he resumed his usual contemptuous and indifferent expression: "It's just a joke."

He looked over the two of them at Vanessa's small handbag hanging on the window sill, and blinked.

Anyway, my goal has been achieved.

Seeing this evil god lord who didn't know what he was doing disappeared in place, Vanessa vaguely sensed something was wrong.

"Cairus, don't you think—"

"How did you recognize me just now?"

They both spoke at the same time, and there was another silence.

"Good evening, Mr. Volturi." A familiar voice broke into the conversation between the two, and with the sound of the wheelchair scraping the floor, Charles appeared in front of them with a relaxed smile on his face.

He had already discovered the sudden increase in people in the academy.

And with just one glance, Charles confirmed that this is a certain "strange person" who once made little Vanessa tangled and turned back and forth.

Coincidentally, the two of them also had contacts.

Vanessa looked at the almost familiar conversation between the two with a face full of surprise.

"The matter of the mutant vampire that appeared last time will be your favor."

Although his solution is a bit rough, it is indeed the most effective way to stop losses in time.

"It's easy to do." Facing Professor X, Caius' tone can be said to be extremely polite.

"Hey! I've seen you!" A shadow passed by quickly, and then stood back and stood still. Kuaiyin took off his earphones and said to Professor X excitedly: "Professor, this is the speed I mentioned to you today." Soon mutants!"

Charles looked at Kuaiyin with a smile on his face, and before he could say anything, Kuaiyin sent out an invitation with excitement again: "Next time, let's compare and see who is faster!"

"No need. I can give you the title of 'Fastest'." Caius twitched his lips.

He just wanted to let this group of redundant mutants leave as soon as possible, so as not to disturb his conversation with Vanessa.

Vanessa, who had been standing aside for a long time as the backdrop, finally couldn't help laughing when she heard this conversation, causing Caius to glance at her several times.

Seeing the small movements of the two, Charles chuckled and shook his head: "Then we won't bother you, good night, both of you."

After finally avoiding the crowd, Caius finally got some time to be alone with Vanessa.He couldn't wait to bring up the previous topic again: "So, why can you be sure that the person just now is not me?"

For some reason, Vanessa could clearly feel Caius' eagerness to prove something.

"Guess." She pretended to be nonchalantly replied.

Feeling the footsteps of the people around her froze, Vanessa said quickly, "Because you are different from others."

She stopped and looked at Caius in the moonlight.

At this moment, he is like a forest elf described by Tolkien strayed into the mortal world, and the night wind blows away the bit of bloody smell that has always been on his body.Caius, dressed in the moonlight, is cold and dignified. Just standing by the quiet bushes is enough to make people fascinated by him.

Vanessa looked at Caius with admiration, and Caius was also watching her.

No one knew the uneasiness in his heart at the moment.

"I can see the flames on the heads of humans—perhaps all intelligent beings, what Charles calls 'the fire of the soul'."

Caius immediately found the loophole in her words: "But vampires don't have souls."

Vanessa nodded, and she pulled Caius to sit by the lake: "Yes. When I was in Fox Town, I found that there was no fire above the heads of the Karen family."

She looked up at the sky, recalled her thoughts just now, and suddenly asked, "Caius, do you think people really become stars after death?"

"I don't know." Caius stared sideways at the girl beside him, "I didn't really die."

This answer was so real that it was even a bit ridiculous. Vanessa bent her eyes: "Where did you just say that? Oh yes, you are different from them. You also have a fire on your head."

She took Caius' hand—a pair of perfect hands with well-defined joints that seemed to be carved out of white jade.

"In my eyes, you are unique."

Vanessa's voice was so ethereal that it was almost illusory, but Caius could be sure that she was not lying at all at this moment.

An inexplicable certainty.

Maybe it really comes from the soul?Caius was not sure, he looked at the picture in front of him: moonlight and evening wind, starry sky and silence—he and a little rose.

This scene made him feel soft and comfortable.

As if afraid of breaking something, Caius lowered his tone again and again: "So my flame is the same as that group of humans?"

"of course not--"

This sentence stopped abruptly.

Vanessa's hand froze suddenly.Immediately afterwards, she took out something that should never have appeared from her handbag—a beer bottle cap, and it immediately turned into a cube with faint blue light.

Cosmic Cube.

"What the f***!"

Realizing this, Vanessa has completely forgotten her image of a lady.If it wasn't for the lack of swear words, she might be able to pour out all the swear words at this moment.

About the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, Vanessa only vaguely obtained it from various materials, but just those small pieces of information were enough for her to understand the importance of this thing.

Sensing the panic of the people around him at the moment, Caius immediately took the little thing from her hand.Looking at the girl whose hair was about to explode, he comforted him before he got the result of the problem: "It's not a big problem, we'll just return him later."

"You still haven't told me how the firelight on my head is different from theirs?"

However, unlike Caius' matter, Vanessa was flustered when such a mess happened.

Therefore, in the face of Caius' relentless questioning, she directly described the picture she could see without thinking: "Because normal people are all red flames, Caius, only the flames on your head The fire of the soul is different, it's green..."

All eyes are on the blue cube in Caius' hands, Vanessa explained incoherently.

"The kind that can be seen at a glance in the crowd..." In desperation, Vanessa even spoke Chinese, "I mean it's green and fresh!"

Caius, who was smiling lightly, froze suddenly.

...He who thinks he is proficient in Chinese swears that this is definitely not a good word!

Under the ups and downs of his mood, Caius, who was used to putting his power into his palm, suddenly heard a "click", and the two of them looked together——

One corner of the Rubik's Cube is broken, and there is no residue left.

"... Caius," Vanessa looked at the blue non-powder that disappeared into the air in an instant, and said calmly.

In fact, her hand hanging by her side had already begun to tremble uncontrollably.

"...Is it too late for us to flee back to Volturi overnight?"

The author has something to say: That’s why Caius’ ability is set in the ability to have absolute power hhhhhhh

Regarding the fact that Caius crushed the Rubik's Cube—

Loki, who was spoiled, gave a thumbs up;

Loki from another time and space also liked it;

Avengers from another time and space, such as Tony, Steve, Saul, etc., liked [not x]

The firelight problem is solved, the next problem is the man [x
