Clark ignored Fury, who had been 'impartial' about his actions over the past two days.The young man flew away from this safe house that was no longer safe, a hideout that could not hide anything.He didn't continue to monitor as he said, so Superman didn't know that after Fury returned, Amanda Waller's sharp and malicious old story was brought up again-this woman asked Fury about his 'Avengers plan' How are you getting ready...

He didn't continue to monitor, so this slightly inferior divorce plan didn't work.In fact, even if he continued to listen... he would only applaud for this, feeling that he could kill two birds with one stone.

Yes, two wins.He was sure that his goal had been achieved... Clark felt that he finally had the face to meet Professor X.

So he came to the door without an appointment again.Superman without a cape landed on the lawn of X Academy again.Clark naturally waved hello to Cyclops on the second floor.Then I went straight to Professor X's office.

Before entering, he heard Scott Summers talking quietly to Jean Gray.Cyclops murmured 'He looked unchanged. ', but the woman didn't reply... This made Clark raise his eyebrows and raise the corners of his lips.Superman sneered into the air.

—He really freaked everyone out, didn't he?

But that's no laughing matter either.This is also very normal.Scott is also just astonished at how much 'radical' you have behaved compared to your past gentleness, isn't it? ... In less than two seconds, he calmed down the senseless sarcasm and hatred again.Clark was expressionless again.He clenched his fists to make sure that he had really calmed down... Then, he opened the door expressionlessly.

Charles Xavier was sitting in a wheelchair, and the elder watched him with a complicated expression.Undoubtedly, even if Professor X and John cannot thoroughly pry into his heart, it is still easy to empathize at close range.

But this is no longer a problem.He wasn't afraid of it anymore—he didn't want to hide anymore.

"Hello, Professor." So Superman still looked calm.Kal-El even smiled as usual. "Sorry, I should have come earlier."

...and Charles looked at the superman without the cloak, and at the 'savior' running around in a panic. Professor X tasted the dark and bitter part of Kal-El's feelings... he let out a rare long sigh.

It happened after all.

——This kid is still completely crushed by the sense of responsibility... But look at him, look at the smiling 'Superman'...he is crushed, he is defeated, but he still doesn't admit defeat.He also knew what was harder and really right... He still didn't want to take that shortcut.

Kal-El mustered up the courage...to meet him.See him, this old thing who can see through everything...

"You are fine, Carl... I sincerely hope that you are fine, dear child." The strongest brain controller among mutants manipulated a wheelchair, walked around the desk and came in front of Superman.His eyes were still loving.But it also mixed with a little helplessness. "I know you've been very busy these days, I've heard—I've heard you've freaked them out."

Professor X's tone contained a bit of friendly complaint.It's hard to imagine that he actually said the "two days" that everyone avoided talking about—his tone didn't sound like Superman showing off his might and saving the government's face.It's not like the Kryptonian is finally tired of the game and is ready to wipe out the evil forces...he's as calm as if Carl just weeded the garden without his owner's permission.It seems that he is still the very kind little boy...

This made Clark unable to continue tensing his body.The young man realized that Professor X didn't intend to accuse him...but when Charles naturally pointed to the sofa beside him, indicating that they should sit down and have a good talk.Clark only twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and shook his head embarrassingly.Superman recalled the 'tragic' experience of the past two days, and recalled the Martian Manhunter who couldn't chat at all, but was kind... Clark had a headache just thinking about it.So Superman can only explain softly with guilt:

"I know what you want to talk to me, actually I want to tell you this too - but I just rescued a friend two days ago. He is an alien visitor with abilities similar to yours... this For two days we've been talking about the things you want to talk to me about... two days. So I'm better. Really, Professor."

Superman subconsciously avoided the words 'psychological trauma' and 'mental illness'.His attitude is sincere and decisive.But in the end, as always, he said obediently:

"Thank you."

Charles looked helplessly at Superman who lowered his eyes.The inexplicably tense atmosphere just now, the sudden estrangement... finally completely disappeared.The big boy's emotions returned to pure helplessness and sadness.So Professor X stretched out his right hand, and patted his arm gently and reassuringly.

"That's fine."

The old man's palm is not very strong.But very warm.Superman shuddered slightly, as if he couldn't bear the closeness - but before Clark could react, he heard himself sigh...

...he is still cared about.He is still cared about.He doesn't seem to have disappointed Charles yet...

They didn't continue their chat about the rescued alien. Professor X instinctively felt that this might be a minefield.And Clark, who was completely appeased, couldn't help feeling guilty... Until just now, he thought that he was no longer afraid of disappointing anyone, but now he realizes that he might still be wrong... He still hasn't been strong enough to this level .

"I'm very sorry."

Clark confessed in a low voice.But as soon as he said it, he regretted it.Why did he apologize, why should he apologize?After all, what did he do wrong? —and he immediately changed his words.

"I should have warned them earlier, I should have been paying attention to this. I'm sorry, Charles. I completely forgot when I was dealing with Hydra that I was working with the government...but I went to them today again After chatting for a while, I believe they will not delay any longer. Up to two months, up to two more months..."

"The town will open up."

...Professor X is rarely really surprised.He looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.Looking at the lost boy... the elder clenched his fists, the mutant looked at the god, the alien—just like Clark.Charles was also struck by how thoughtful and 'careful' Superman was.He reacted, he realized that today Superman came here specially for this purpose, for their mutants... He also couldn't help but recall Magneto's sinister words.He also remembered his old friend's sneer:

'Watch it, watch your little boy destroy order, destroy everything.Just wait and see what his rage will bring.He might actually bring peace - by becoming the worst enemy of all 'mortals' in this world.Maybe then you and I will be able to stand together again... just to destroy this most terrible enemy. '

—You're wrong, you're wrong again, Eric.

Professor X shook his head firmly, and he held Superman's arm.It is rare for the elder to show two points of real majesty.He no longer looked like a professor or a headmaster, and Charles Xavier's aura that belonged to the leader and belonged to the leader radiated out.Clark also looked at Professor X in astonishment, their eyes met...the human eyes were solemn and powerful.

"You don't have to apologize. You never have to, Superman."

Charles looked at the 22-year-old boy who had been alone all this time.

"Sometimes my old bones really want to bear and face everything that is not good enough for you... But this is impossible, because you are far better and more talented than me. You will have more than me. I have a bigger future."

Charles Xavier was not a Pollyanna.His greatness is precisely that he has fully understood the evil of man, but still chooses to believe in the good of man.But has he never been lost?no no.No matter how wise a leader is, no matter how strong a warrior is, they cannot be invincible.After all, how can a person be invincible?How can you ask a child in his early twenties for something that he can't even do?

——His excellence and specialness should not be the reason for everyone to destroy him.

"So I know you'll take care of this. I know why you don't want to talk, Carl."

"I understand why you don't want to say it—you're afraid I won't be able to bear it. You've always been like this... Carl, you've always been so good. It's just that you're never sure that you're so good. Don't be too hard on yourself, Don't make it too difficult for yourself."

"--promise me."

……

... He really wanted to run away.

…Clark froze in place, Superman's lips tightened.The invincible man realized that he was so weak—he tried to hold on to his expression so as not to lose his composure.Clark Kent smiled bitterly, and stretched out his other hand to ruffle his hair.

— But I really think you are wrong.charles.

But he nodded anyway.said nothing.Superman tried his best to suppress the desire to tell everything...he didn't want to say it, and he didn't dare to say it.Even instinctively, he felt that he shouldn't say it.

...how on earth could he explain all this?How on earth was he going to convince his friends that he wasn't really crazy?The 'self' he saw, the experiences he witnessed... There is no way to study them at all.He's the only one in the world who's stuck in it—he's impossible to understand.Even if someone really believes it, it is just a useless spread of this unknown and known pain.

So Superman nodded.He couldn't say another word.He sincerely felt that even just saying 'thank you' would be an insult to Charles... so he just stood there for a long time.It was so long that Professor X smiled wryly.So long... Logan knocked on the door.

Wolverine doesn't wait for them to reply, he pushes the door open and walks in.Then he raised his eyebrows at the strange atmosphere between them.

"What are you doing? Big guy Lan, where's your cape?"

...Thank you, Logan.

Charles sighed helplessly, and let go of Carl's arm.Superman also turned sideways with a wry smile, and greeted him.

"Hi, Logan...it's missing."

Wolverine sneered at his unintentional reply.Clark scratched his head again helplessly, and decided to change the subject again - obviously, he couldn't explain why he gave up wearing the cloak in detail.

"Speaking of which, I happen to have something to discuss with the professor and you..."

"When our town is officially opened, I would like to invite a few friends, including Captain America, to come over and promote it—what do you think, Charles?"

Professor X glared at Superman complainingly, then nodded.The old man gave Wolverine a complicated look, and Logan moved his nose, frowning in confusion.

...Captain America?

The author has something to say: Wolverine and Captain America used to be comrades in arms.This line is unfolded like this, I didn't expect it.

Clark made the threat because he realized that if he didn't go, he was likely to be dragged down by the government to 'sanction' his escapades.And the next invitation was to urge the government to settle the town's affairs as soon as possible.

w said that we Clark is going home w back to Kent's house!Hey hey! wSomeone is going to make a greeting call!
