Not Crazy yet [Comprehensive British and American]

Professor X is sitting in a wheelchair, looking out the window at the lawn.There was a group of junior kids playing ball, and Jean was smiling and holding a crayon drawing...that was drawn for her by the new girl a week ago.

He looked at this scene and smiled slightly.

Charles remembered that Jean Gray suddenly told him one day that she thought Superman was very similar to him.

This made Charles Xavier raise his eyebrows in surprise.He looked dumbly at his former students... The woman didn't realize how surprised he was at all.Just continue to chat and pour out their own opinions.

She felt that Superman was almost like one of his many students, and it wasn't even the one that worried him the most.Although the alien visitor is often worried about his own choice and the world...but it is not extreme; it is not dangerous.

Importantly though Kal-El - Superman.Although he's not a mutant, or even a 'human'.But he is full of kindness to them, and he does not hesitate to help them... Superman, like him, is a person with great love in his heart.They can treat everything in this world without distinction of race and without discrimination.

Jean's words made Charles sigh...for that young man.Also for himself.

He wasn't really such a good educator.Most of his students are covered with scars, some injuries cannot be repaired, and some wills cannot be transferred-he just keeps working hard, trying to make these injured children move forward... His achievements are not so great success.But it can never be said to have failed.

And Superman?Superman - he's different.

Since Superman was ten years old, he had noticed this different child.His willpower is too strong, and his mood swings are too strong.This made Kal-El at the time almost like the sun set off by the stars - so dazzling and so special.Charles was trying to communicate with this kid, he was trying to find him, to connect with him... he thought he had found another Jean Gray, but that wasn't the case.

The child closed himself like a rock in the first two years, but he was still exuding pain and sorrow.Kal-El was steadfast in his refusal to speak to him... but that all changed that Christmas ten years ago.He offered Christmas wishes to the other party again-this time, he got a response unexpectedly.

'Happy New Year to you too. '

…… Charles Xavier had a hard time describing how he felt at that moment.This is still the case today.How could Charles have no feelings for this child?How could he possibly want to help the government 'control' such a man?His kindness, his tenderness—all his preciousness, he knows it all!He may be the only person in the world who has noticed what Superman is going through...

But he couldn't help.

Superman's will is impregnable.

So to this day, he still doesn't know why the child was in pain and despair. From time to time, Professor X could sense that the sun was exuding a dark atmosphere—but he could do nothing but comfort and admonish him.

Charles Xavier listened to the sound behind him.He looked away.Move the wheelchair so that you are facing the door.He knew that Logan left in a hurry without sending Carl to the door.Wolverine is still the same, and he doesn't like others to know his goodness.

The doorbell rang, and he said, "Please come in."

Then the sun with a gloomy color pushed open the door and entered.Superman's young and handsome face was wearing a subtle and youthful smile.He nodded sheepishly, then sat down on the chair across from his desk.

"...I want to talk to you."

Clark looked at Professor X's clear and wise expression... Superman felt a little uncomfortable.

And more is calm.

Since he found the courage to find Professor Xavier that year, the help provided to him by the other party can be said to be countless.Without Charles, Clark knew he would be an even worse 'Superman'... and there was no limit to this one.He might have already collapsed.

...So those who are embarrassed to confide in B, Dr. Banner... are not a problem at this moment.That shame, that little bit of self-respect...it wouldn't make him stupid enough to hide everything from this man.

"...I went to see Vandal Savage. He's a criminal who's been around for a thousand years - he's trying to hurt me on a non-physical level. He's trying to break me down - and I think somehow In fact, he has succeeded. His words really made me start to reflect, and made me doubt myself..."

Charles looked at the kid and frowned.

"He made me question myself. He made me realize: I could be crazy and not know it."

………………

It wasn't a pleasant conversation at all.But it also brings a lot of comfort to Superman-although because Clark can't tell the truth to Charles, the two can only discuss whether Superman is "cold" or not.But Professor X is really good at reassuring people - at least he succeeded in making Superman sure that he doesn't really need to be 'perfect'.No one is perfect...but they are.He should also try to really get in touch with the people and criminals.Since he was suspicious and asked, why didn't he ask?He didn't always get the answers, and the answers he got didn't always satisfy him—but he wouldn't be a monster.As long as he continues to stand strong as a witness to the reality of the world, Superman will never be a monster.

This did succeed in reassuring him.Although Superman can't tell Professor X-how much he has witnessed himself falling into madness, being knocked down by hatred and anger.But in this moment, in the clear, sure eyes of Charles Xavier...he found himself.Clark Kent is also willing to believe with the professor-he will not fall to the point where he needs to be destroyed and buried.He will be the lucky one...

Superman's smile was warm again.The big boy hugged his teacher sincerely and affectionately... He soared into the sky again and flew to the secret base of the Brotherhood.The bright red cloak gradually became a small dot in the blue sky.Xavier watched the young man's figure... for a long time.

Under the blue sky, Professor X's eyes gradually became deep and sad.He stared at the direction Superman left for a long time...he didn't want to bow his head.

The door was opened.Jean Gray walks in with Scott Summers.There was deep anxiety on the woman's face.She took two steps forward to call Professor X, but was stopped by Cyclops.She and Scott's glasses exchanged a look, and then they waited silently for the leader of the X-Men to return to his senses.

And Charles didn't keep them waiting long.In the end, he still had to withdraw his reluctant gaze... After all, he still had to make some new instructions based on the information he just got.

...make certain arrangements that he doesn't like either.

………………

Before Clark met Professor X and Magneto, he only relied on his relationship with Batman to explain what is "similar but different"... After getting to know these two elders, Superman has no doubts about this sentence. As a result, the awareness of this relationship has also deepened.

It's hard to imagine anyone more like the two poles of a magnet, the flip side of a coin, than these two.Their philosophies are highly similar yet completely opposite.They are the most understanding people in the world.They are more friends than enemies.The relationship is even more intimate than marriage.The intimacy of the two used to embarrass him and even puzzle him... But lately, he no longer feels that way.After meeting b and meeting Luther.Clark was beginning to understand the mixed feelings.

No matter what kind of person it is, when he knows you this way, it's hard not to have some kind of unique connection with him.What's more, Charles Xavier and Eric Lanshel are friends. The relationship between them is indescribable and difficult for anyone to understand... and the most interesting thing is that this relationship does not need to be explained.They will all be defined by the names of two people in the end.For example: Batman and Superman, like Superman and Luthor...

And he doesn't actually hate Magneto either.

Although - Magneto hates him.

Thinking of this, the flying Clark Kent couldn't help but want to laugh—it's actually hard to explain.It's really hard for him to explain why his unlikability has spread to such an extent.You know he has always been polite to Magneto, and Superman's pro-mutant attitude has long since reached a level that disturbs the government...but Magneto just doesn't like him.I don't like it so much that I don't even bother to cover it up.

Clark once joked to himself that maybe he has stolen too much attention that should belong to Magneto in the past few years-from the government, or the attention of Professor X.This may make the old gentleman very jealous...but it's just a joke.Thinking about it now, perhaps His Excellency Magneto is the one who can solve his doubts better.Perhaps only Magneto, who hates Superman, knows better whether the thoughts born of Savage are true...

So Clark shook his head, and Superman gave that skilled smile.He landed on top of this church... and was moaned softly by Mystique who actually came to meet him.

"You really don't know how to keep a low profile. Don't you, Carl?"

Superman looked back at the woman in blue.The upward arc of his mouth is gentle and intimate.The Kryptonian looked at Mystique... At this moment, he suddenly realized that the appreciation in the woman's eyes was surprisingly similar to Savage's.

They all admired his strength.

Superman still kept his smile, "Sorry, it seems I was a little inconsiderate...but I'm sure there is no tail behind. So don't worry, Mystique." He smiled a little embarrassedly. "Thank you for coming to pick me up."

Who doesn't love this face, this body, this strength?Mystique's appreciation is naked.Just like her people.The woman wrapped her arms around Superman, and she led the young man inward.She said like a spell,

"You are a distinguished guest. Karl. Why thank me?"

—though no matter how hard she tried, her seduced object refused to take the bait.Superman is obviously pure and innocent like a child, but he seems to have completely lost his curiosity about sex... This is really very regrettable.

You must know that she was very curious about the supernatural powers that the children of mutants and aliens would have.

Superman looked even more uncomfortable with her arms around him.Although the alien youth hasn't blushed yet - but it's not much worse.This made Mystique feel a little happy.In this way, she walked into the hall of the church with the arm of the strongest man in the world... Together they received dozens of scrutinizing gazes.Mystique noticed keenly that Kal-El's expression changed in an instant—Superman's expression returned to seriousness in an instant.

So she let go of her hand with a smile, and walked towards Magneto sitting on the fallen altar directly in front of her.She was in a good mood, and in a rare naughty way, she changed into a nun within a distance of less than ten meters, and then changed back again.For this reason, the saber-toothed tiger snorted disdainfully and muttered something.

She couldn't catch it.Clark heard it all.

The saber-toothed tiger said something: Pretentious.

... who is not pretending?

So Superman laughed.His smile was as gentle and respectful as ever.It was obvious that he had no malice.It's clear he has a lot of respect for Magneto - and then he asks directly:

"Is Charles Jones with you?"

But what he didn't expect was.Magneto's reply was so concise and quick.There was a hint of sarcasm in the old man's scrutinizing eyes.Magneto quickly told him...

"No."

Clark seemed to have been punched directly in the brain.He simply failed to understand the meaning of the combination of the two letters.Superman tried his best not to look so stunned...but two or three of the dozens of mutants present coughed awkwardly.Apparently, the look on his face almost made them all laugh...

But that's no laughing matter for Clark.That's his friend's friend—it's a matter of this brave man's life and death!Superman frowned.His demeanor changed instantly.The tense Superman instantly changed the atmosphere in the church.His emotions seemed to affect the flow of air.Several mutants couldn't even hold back, and changed their forms directly—everyone became extremely nervous.They stared at the alien in red and blue uniform without blinking, and some of them even shivered.

But Magneto didn't blame anyone.The leader of the Brotherhood still sat leisurely on the altar, staring at the Kryptonian ruthlessly and uninterestedly.He continued indifferently:

"But I can give you some clues. Superman." As he spoke, the old man used his ability to manipulate the steel bars in the collapsed pillar beside him. "Since Savage told you that I attacked him, I don't think he would be lying. That man is not one to tell such crude and easily exposed lies."

Magneto manipulated the magnetic force, twisting those steel bars as thick as thumbs.

"Let's put it this way, I think he did give in to you, telling a 'lie' he thought was true. He thought it was me — who took Hulk's best friend."

... Eric Lanshere's expression was full of sarcasm.His lake-green eyes stared at the existence that his old friends and comrades regarded as 'the strongest'... He sneered.

"That idiot. He was lied to."
