Anti-Hero Lola [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Lola knew the name of the boy who could become invisible before reuniting with her friends.

His name is Cuomo.Though gloomy and silent, the face was beautiful--not masculine handsome, but beautiful.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the first boy that Laura has seen since he was born in this world, and he can be described as indistinguishable from male to female.

It's a pity that his character is too silent. After being called out by Luo La, he just showed his body and followed the group of people quietly. If it wasn't for Luo La's extremely sensitive senses, he would definitely suspect that he was Not while they were not paying attention, he quietly left here alone.

Laura tried to inquire about "Johnny", but did not get any useful information from Jack and Rose.

They just said in unison that Johnny is the leader of this underground settlement.

"Almost everything can only be implemented with his consent, from the distribution of food and daily necessities, to marriage and childbirth, to the small ones when people fight and cause trouble." Ross said, "We all have to tell Johnny."

Laura understood: "Is he your leader?"

She actually wanted to say "emperor" rather than leader, but since Johnny can hear what they're talking about, there's no need to get the truth out of the way.

"Of course." It was Jack who took the call this time, and his words and speech made no secret of his respect and love for Johnny—and his fervent ambition. The manhunt of that group, he saved us all! He is our hero!"

... Mutants being hunted down?

How long ago was this?It must be more than half a century from now, right?

Since the public war between Professor X and Magneto that shocked the whole world, mutants have not been discriminated against and captured. Although the secret actions against mutants have never stopped, the differential treatment on the surface has long been ruled out. put an end to.

At least in terms of the requirements of political correctness, mutants and ordinary people have the same responsibilities.

But Laura didn't say anything, she just seemed to be listening seriously to Jack telling her about Johnny's great achievements with great interest, nodding frequently, showing surprise and admiration from time to time.

Adoring this expression is actually a bit difficult to do. Lola has never admired anyone before, but the Jack in front of him is the best model, and Lola thinks that she imitates it very much.

Rose was the most silent person besides Cuomo, but she just didn't talk, her fingers began to strain when Jack started to praise Johnny feverishly and smugly, her palms were sweating, her breathing and heartbeat were slow. Not so stable.

—Ross is angry.

—Why is she angry?Because Jack admires Johnny so much?

Laura interrupted Jack curiously and asked him, "How long have you guys been living here?"

"...We've lived here since we were born." The person who answered this question was Ross. "The first mutants who started hiding underground moved here a century ago."

"Our ancestors spent decades building this city as our safe haven," Jack said proudly, "to protect and house all of our wounded fellow citizens."

Laura glanced at him, but said nothing.

She turned her head to look at Cuomo again. This beautiful boy was quietly attached to the end of the three of them, as light as a feather.

The four of them soon arrived at the location where the little spider and the red Robin were.

"Little Worm! Little Red!" Laura walked over excitedly, ignoring Jack and Rose's hands and movements trying to stop her, "Are you all right? Are you not injured?"

"No," said Red Robin, "Johnny is friendly."

Lola turned to Johnny, studying his gray pupils with interest, and Johnny gave her a smile.

"Hello, Carmen," he said.

"Hello." Laura pulled up the hem of the cloak like a skirt, and saluted lightly.

The little spider looked at Red Robin, then at Laura, and stood there in a daze.

"I heard that you are here to visit." Johnny said tolerantly, "I'm sorry, we are very wary of anyone who tries to enter here, because our enemies are too many, and they are very powerful .”

Jack puffed out his chest proudly, and he gave Rose an attentive look, but Rose ignored him.

He looked away resentfully, and his movements slowly returned to normal.

"—but if the people who come to us are friends," Johnny continued to talk to Laura with a smile as if he didn't know what happened between Jack and Rose, "of course we would like to be hospitable hosts."

"Come with us," he said softly, "and let us do the honor of our landlords."

Little Spider and Red Robin walked behind Laura, leaning on her shoulders on the left and right.

"Carmen," the little spider said in a low voice, "you told us..." It is obvious that we are here to help a group of displaced mutants living in sewers.

But these people don't seem to match what she said before.

Whether it was Johnny, Andrew, or Jack, Rose, and Cuomo who came back with Lola—Johnny had introduced the names of their companions to them before they arrived, and said Laura’s code name accurately—all dressed It is clean and tidy, and its mental state is quite normal, without the slumped temperament of a homeless person.

Especially the one named Jack, he is simply a young and energetic guy who has no place to vent his energy.

Even the little spider can see his admiration for Johnny and his desire to be valued by him from the way he looks at Johnny and his posture.

"I may have said something before..." Laura pondered for a while, then said tactfully, "You'd better not take what I said too seriously."

The little spider's eyepatch was opened wide.Definitely the biggest opening he's had in a long time.

But then something even more shocking happened. Lola got two ice creams out of nowhere, ate one herself, and handed one to Red Robin.

Noticing the sight of the little spider, she shrugged regretfully: "Your mask design is too unreasonable, little bug, let's just watch us eat."

The little spider with a full-face mask covering the entire head: "...you disappeared just now to buy ice cream?"

Lola licked the ice cream and replied, "Yes."

"Where did you put them?" asked Red Robin.

Laura raised her hand, motioning Red Robin to look at the fine print on her mouth.

"This is a magic item." Laura said vaguely, "It provides a one-click change function, and you can put some small things in it."

They left the ambushed location under the leadership of Johnny. Red Robin noticed that before leaving here, Johnny made a gesture with Andrew and Cuomo. The two boys were left by him and followed. There are only Jack and Rose.

Little Spider and Red Robin also quickly noticed the conflict between Jack and Rose.

Jack's mood was on his face. As for Rose, she held Laura's hand all the way. Although Laura was much smaller and slender compared to her, they held hands like a big sister leading her. Little sister, but anyone can see that the actual situation is that the little sister is leading the big sister.

The absent-minded Rose almost fell several times, and it was Laura who pulled her back.

Although they saw the problem, none of them were willing to speak up, they just pretended not to understand the situation.

It was a bit of a grind, especially when none of the six people wanted to talk.

Fortunately, the journey was not too far away, and they arrived at their destination soon.

This is the intersection of several sewer pipes. It is wide and tall like a large stadium, and there are hundreds of buildings of various shapes in the stadium.

"How about it!" Jack jumped out, his pride was obvious, "This is our city, built entirely by our ancestors!"

Little Spider: "..."

Red Robin: "..."

They looked at each other, and then at Laura, but Laura just casually glanced at the buildings not far away, and then focused on Rose.

"Are you sick?" Lola asked her in a low voice, "I brought hot dogs and pizza along with ice cream, would you like some?"

Little Spider: "...I'm, uh, very honored to be here..."

Red Robin's voice covered the little spider's voice, and he said seriously: "Please let me pay tribute to your ancestors. They are great pioneers and explorers. Here comes your present peaceful, settled life. They are true heroes."

Little Spider: ...

He turned sharply to look at Red Robin.

Little Spider: Seriously?Also pioneers and explorers?Still working hard?Still living in peace and stability?Also a real hero?

Little Spider: This is a group of losers who dare not fight and fight for their freedom and rights, and live in the sewer.

Red Robin: Stop your disbelief, I know what that history is all about.

Red Robin: Don't talk, let me talk.

Jack was obviously very satisfied with Red Robin's flattery, and he even looked at Red Robin with a lot of kindness. You must know that he had never looked directly at Little Spider and Red Robin along the way, and his attitude towards Laura He was not lukewarm, and it was because Ross was obviously very interested in Laura that he was a little polite to Laura.

Or more strictly speaking, it would be more appropriate for him to completely treat Laura as a tool to make Ross happy.

In order to thank this tool, he reluctantly looked at Laura.

Red Robin pays attention to Laura's attitude, but Laura doesn't care much about Jack's performance. She doesn't even pay much attention to Johnny, who is obviously the most important person in the audience, and only cares about Rose.

Gotham.

Pietro had been waiting in the rain for quite some time.

The weather in Gotham is never comfortable, especially for someone not used to the city.

The sticky feeling brought by perennial cloud and light rain is like sweaty clothes sticking to the skin after strenuous exercise. Pietro changed several positions, and finally resisted the urge to go in and see Wanda.

To his relief, Wanda didn't make him wait too long before she came out.

She looked the same as before entering, but her face seemed to be slightly pale.

"Go back. My tasks are all done," she said, after a slight pause. "All—all done."

New York City, Manhattan, in the sewers.

It was getting late, and Johnny had arranged a place to stay for the three guests. At Laura's request, they are temporarily staying at Rose's home.

The conditions in Rose's home were very simple.

Red Robin couldn't say how much he looked forward to this "dungeon", but before actually being in it, he still had some expectations in his heart.

After all, according to the introduction, this settlement has a history of hundreds of years. If it is a temporary residence just established by a group of exiles, no matter how simple and rough it is, it can be understood. The requirements are not too high, and everything is subject to meeting the minimum survival needs.

But the place is nearly a century old!

That's 100 years, enough for three or four generations to reproduce. Even if calculated according to the most conservative development speed, this temporary residence should have a modern look, right?

but not.Not at all.This is the place where Jack praised with great pride, prudence and exaggeration...

It is not much better than the tribes built by some uncivilized primitive aborigines.
