Superhero Damage Control [Comprehensive]

Chapter 8: Reversing History

Lucy remained in an awkward position about to be supported, her mouth gaping open, as if what was happening before her was the scariest part of a thriller.

"You you you you you you you are not paraplegic!" Lucy said incoherently.

Professor X took two steps with his crutches, confirming that he was indeed in good health.

"Then why are you in a wheelchair? You are sick!"

"I'm old and have osteoporosis." Professor X shrugged his shoulders innocently, and his facial features under his shiny bald head made a sly expression.

"This world is crazy." Lucy's head was blank, as if lost in a maze, she pinched the flesh hard, unconscious, "It's over, I must have become a vegetable, I'm dreaming now, I don't feel anything at all .”

"Because you pinched me." Tony Stark said with a twitching corner of his mouth.

"I have to stroke it." Lucy raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, muttering to herself, "Captain America is Bucky Barnes, Professor X is not lame, but Tony Stark is still a dwarf, Thankfully, there are still things in the world that are on track."

"Hey—" Tony Stark yelled dissatisfied, "I heard you mumbling?"

Lucy felt that Professor X touched herself with a walking stick, she turned her head and met Professor X's wise eyes.

"Would you like to have a chat?" Professor X asked, pointing to the lake, and even raised his arm in a gentlemanly manner, letting Lucy hold him. The legacy of British aristocracy is still imprinted on him, and he has not been affected by the United States at all. eroded by civilian culture.

"Of course." Lucy happily embraced Professor X's arm, and the two walked towards the lake supporting each other.

Tony and Bucky wanted to keep up, but Magneto moved his fingers, and the shield on Bucky's back was pulled into the sky by a huge force, flipped around and stuck hard in the soil at their feet.Tony and Bucky looked at Magneto resentfully, and Magneto moved his fingers as if he had never done anything.

"Please give my husband and Ms. Lang some room to talk." Magneto glanced at Tony arrogantly out of the corner of his eye, "You don't want me to smash your [-] million steel armor on you, do you? Mister Stark."

Tony was speechless.

The X-Men were born during the Cold War and grew stronger in the 80s. At the beginning, they were treated as monsters. Humans encircled and eliminated them, but they were repelled time and time again.Until the 80s, finally under the impetus of Professor X and Magneto, the scientific community took the lead in admitting that they are evolved humans, not deformed. The movement for the equal rights of mutants paralleled the movement for homosexuality and feminism, and finally they got Equal political and personal rights, perhaps because of helplessness or fear, the governments of various countries signed an agreement with the X-Men, allowing Professor X to open branches of the Xavier School for Gifted Youth on the territory of each country. Evaluate and confirm that mutants who are harmless to humans serve as branch school principals and teachers.Xavier School for Gifted Teens is also known as a mutant utopia.

Although humans recognize the status of mutants, it does not mean that they fully accept them. Humans and mutants still carefully draw a clear line and do not provoke each other.The mutants are also under the protection of the X-Men to ensure that they will not be reduced to weapons.

Thus formed today's situation.

So during the New York War, the X-Men didn't show their face at all, because they would never move a finger except that the earth was about to explode.Maintaining independence and neutrality is the constant principle of the X-Men.

Tony Stark is a human being, so he is very smart to know whether he should advance or retreat when facing Magneto, a powerful scrap iron king.

But Bucky, a World War II veteran who is well versed in negotiation strategies, took retreat as an advance and asked another question: "You said you met Lucy 50 years ago?"

Magneto put two fingers on his chin: "To be precise, this school was built under Lucy's supervision."

Tony and Bucky opened their eyes wide in disbelief at the same time, and walked towards the Magneto Dynasty castle, the fuchsia cape fluttering up and down: "Follow me."

"Where are you from, Lucy?" Professor X asked Lucy, but Lucy didn't know how to answer, Professor X put two fingers on his temples, and gave Lucy a "permitted" look, and Lucy nodded.

Professor X penetrated his thoughts into Lucy's world. After a while, he nodded clearly: "So you just came from that world. It seems that you will experience many stories in the future."

The thing Lucy had been secretly worried about was about to come true, and she suddenly panicked: "Professor X, don't tell me I'm going to mess with the Avengers!"

Professor X didn't answer, Lucy started to grab her hair with both hands frantically, turning back and forth, her whole world was messed up and put back together as if chopped up by a hacksaw.Lucy's voice was a little broken: "Will I die, which branch plot will I participate in, which map will I run, am I a T or a milk? I am an ordinary person and I will definitely die in less than half a year with them Corpse, unless... wait... will I be bitten by a spider and turn into some kind of Spider-Woman?"

Professor X smiled and said nothing: "Lucy, there will be many surprises waiting for you."

Lucy sat slumped on the ground, watched the butterflies fly by, tapped the lake water, after a long time, Lucy cried: "But I want to go home. I don't want to live like a superhero, and I have to worry about dying every day." In an explosion or some mysterious power." Lucy hiccupped crying, "Professor, have you ever read the mind of the one I went back to the past?"

Professor X nodded.

"You know what my future looks like, tell me quickly, I don't want to wait like this." Lucy looked at Professor X as if grasping at a straw.

Professor X slowly sat beside Lucy: "I'm not allowed to reveal anything about your future."

"Not allowed?" Lucy narrowed her eyes suspiciously, "Who didn't allow it?"

"This is your own order." Professor X held Lucy's hand lovingly. The wrinkled skin of the old age made Lucy feel the sadness of the passing of time, and a strong pulse came from Professor X's wrist. Passed on, let her feel the vitality of life, "Yesterday is an untraceable history, tomorrow is an unsolvable mystery, and today is a gift from God." (Yesterdayishistory.Tomorrowismystery.Todayisagift. That'swhyitis called present)

Lucy stopped crying slowly, feeling that Professor X's words seemed familiar, she thought for a while: "Did you just say the lines of "Kung Fu Panda"?"

Professor X let go of Lucy's hand: "There is no "Kung Fu Panda" in our world. You also told me this sentence. I have to say that I have benefited a lot."

"Oh, really?" Lucy asked casually gossip.

"After you said this, Eric and I got married. After that, we lived a happy life. In order to maintain the chemical reaction between us, we should probably..."

"Oh oh oh ok ok I get it, I don't need to say any more." Seeing Professor X's old driver start the car without a word, Lucy quickly interrupted him, "If you are married to Magneto , what about Quicksilver?"

Professor X looked at Lucy suspiciously: "Who is Quicksilver?"

Oh Lucy, look what you did, you wiped Quicksilver out of this timeline!

Quicksilver little angel! !I'm sorry! ! ! ! !

Lucy screamed in her head.

"Strictly speaking, Lucy Lang is the founder of the X-Men." Eric Lanshere - Magneto led the crowd into the school history showroom with his hands behind his back, where there are stories about the development of mutants and The precious historical materials of the founding of the school are displayed according to the timeline like a family tree. The part of the wall closest to the ceiling is some records of the founding of the school, including Charles, Eric and CIA agent Mora Mark. Taggart's photo.

"In my impression, she appeared with Charles. She is not a mutant, but she believes that we can build our own utopia. At that time, Charles wanted to integrate into humans, and I dismissed his ideas. Gu, when I was young and full of vigor, I even wanted to dominate the whole world and declare that mutants are the best race. In the words of young people, who hasn't passed the second year of middle school?"

Magneto blinked happily, like an old man whose innocence hadn't gone, he raised his palm, as if he was moving something, and a photo frame at the top of the exhibition room slowly fell, lying on his back In the palm of Magneto.

"There was a time when I thought Charles and I were two sides of the same coin and we could never agree, but Lucy didn't think so, she thought we could find a balance and start a new era for mutants, a different future. I can crush Charles' unrealistic delusion, and he can restrain me from going too far." Magneto cherished and gently blew the dust on the photo frame, and an old, yellowed photo appeared on Tony In front of and Bucky, despite some psychological preparations, they were still stunned by the sight in front of them.

The person sitting between the young Eric, Charles, and Mystique is actually Lucy Lang herself. She is wearing a set of retro clothes unique to the 60s, comfortable and quaint, Sitting among the three mutants, especially Mystique, who is not in human form, there is no fear of ordinary humans facing mutants. Instead, they smile relaxed and kindly, and treat these mutants like family members. The following is marked With a year, 1962.

"I was chasing and killing a man named Sebastian Shaw. He once killed my mother in order to inspire my abilities." Magneto took out two iron balls from his waist and flicked them lightly. The iron ball turned into iron sand, and a portrait of a man was spelled out in the air. It was Sebastian Shaw in Magneto's impression, with a refined, cold and vicious face. "He planned the Cuban Missile Crisis single-handedly." , I caught him and tried to kill him, Lucy and Charles stopped me and he ran away. And the humans fired missiles at us trying to blow us up on the beach and I wanted to give them some color lol Look."

Tony happened to know the truth about the "Cuban Missile Crisis" recorded in history. He saw it when he hacked into the S.H.I.E.L.D. When they launched missiles to kill the group of mutants in the Caribbean Sea, Eric Lanshere, a young mutant waved his hand lightly, and let the missiles turn back to the original track.And in the end those missiles didn't really explode and kill anyone, but they seemed to go silent halfway and fell into the sea.

It is recorded in the data that Eric Lanshere finally chose to give up. According to the assessment of human experts, Eric still believes that he has an inseparable relationship with human beings.

Tony thought it was all bullshit, and there must be something else.

Magneto said: "Maura MacTaggart tried to stop me from shooting me. I bounced those bullets. Now thinking about it, I'm still afraid. If Lucy didn't push Charles away like he knew in advance, maybe he Already killed by those bullets. So I quit punishing humans because I knew if I did, I would lose Charles forever, and if it wasn't for Lucy, I would literally lose him."

"You mean, Lucy Lang is an ordinary human being, but she traveled through time and space?" Tony felt a little confused.

"No, someone brought her here." Magneto said seriously, "Lucy told us that that person has the ability to travel through time and space, but they were separated in the crack of time. Lucy stayed with us Back then, Charles and I helped start this school and formed the first X-Men team to protect ourselves. Then one day, Lucy just disappeared without anyone knowing where she went... "

"Maybe she's back in the future?" Bucky speculated.

"It is also possible that she traveled to a certain point in time in a certain universe." Magneto said, "It is also possible that she died in the crack."
