[Comprehensive British and American] Final strategy achievement

"Of course I do," Leona said.

Charles was surprised after hearing her words.

"Aren't you going to ask more questions?" Charles looked puzzled, "I thought you would..."

"No need to ask." Leona said firmly, "Telepathy tells me that you are not a bad person. We look a bit similar, so you should indeed be my father. The most important thing is that we are both mutants, and I

My adoptive parents are ordinary people. If they know that I am a mutant, their attitude towards me will change. I don’t want to live here." She said quickly, "I am a self-aware person.

I understand very well that I am not suitable to live in this ordinary family. Leaving you is the best choice."

Leona likes to follow simple, straightforward logic.

She thinks that the Brent family is not suitable for her to live in, so she wants to leave. It is good to follow Charles. Although Leona can get money and a place to live alone, she is really curious about "father" and she doesn't mind.

Spend some time with Charles. If one day, she thinks that Charles is no longer suitable for her to live there, she will leave.

At least now, Leona really wants to live with Charles.

People always have to try new things, right?

Leona is willing to try anything she has never done before and experience things she has never felt before.

Charles had thought of many ways to meet before this, but he did not expect that his first meeting with Leona would be like this.

He thought that Leona would be questioning, angry, and surprised after learning about their relationship... and she might even make a fuss and lose her temper or resist his contact.

As a result, Charles and Leona met for less than ten minutes, and she had already decisively agreed to live with him.

Charles was keenly aware that Leona agreed simply in this matter, but she was not necessarily a girl who was easy to negotiate. Leona was not someone who could be fooled easily, and her unique abilities

This gave her a different thinking model than ordinary children. Her promise to Charles was not entirely based on "blood ties", "feelings", and other considerations.

But it doesn't matter, Charles often deals with various types of children. He thinks that he is a patient enough person. After Leona lives with him, he has a lot of time to get along with her, and slowly

Understand her.

"When are we leaving?" Leona looked excited. "Where is your home? Will I have my own room?"

"Our home is in West Chester. Of course you have your own room. You can decorate it in any style you want." Charles said, "As for when to leave, I want to hear your thoughts.

Don’t you want to say goodbye to Mr. Brandt and the others? I heard that you have other brothers and sisters in this family..."

Charles observed Leona's expression.

However, there was no trace of reluctance on her face.

"It doesn't matter if we say goodbye or not." Leona said nonchalantly.

"Did they treat you badly?" Charles asked.

"You can tell if they are good to me if you read their minds," Leona said, "They are good to me."

Charles would not restrain his mutant abilities when necessary. In order to learn more about Leona, he did perform a limited mind-reading on the Brants.

Charles said: "How often do you use your psychic powers?"

"Yes." Leona nodded.

Charles's educational philosophy is to let mutants learn to control their abilities and not use them at will on others. Leona herself does not have such a concept. Charles decided to put Leona's education issue aside for now, because it is not available now.

Not a good time to teach your children.

"Don't you like your adoptive parents?" Charles asked again.

"I don't like them or hate them, I don't have any special feelings towards them," Leona said.

"What about your brothers and sisters?" Charles said. "Do you like them?"

"It's the same, I don't like it or hate it." Leona said, "Of course, I am very grateful to my 'father' and 'mother' for raising me, and I am very grateful to my brothers and sisters for accompanying me. That's it."

Essentially, Leona is a stranger to them, and she does not want to pretend that she is a happy family with them. In the past, "Leona" was a withdrawn and indifferent child. She lived in her own world and refused to interact with others.

Get along. Theoretically, the former "Leona" and the current Leona are the same person. Before the old universe was restarted, she did live in the Brant family in her childhood. In view of the fact that Leona is missing

Memory, she didn't know why she had that kind of personality during her childhood.

Is she the "her" she is now after the change?

"When are we leaving?" Leona repeated the question.

Charles thought about it and said: "Is it okay tomorrow? It's already very late today. I will discuss your household registration with the Brandts tomorrow. We have a lot of procedures to go through."

"Okay." Leona was satisfied.

Charles said: "You can ask me any question, as long as I know it, I will answer you."

"Who is my mother?" said Leona. "How was I born?"

"That was a long time ago. Your mother and I met in Israel..." Charles talked about the past.

Young love is mostly fruitless, and the same is true for Charles and his former lover. They broke up, Leona's mother did not tell Charles that she was pregnant, and Leona was born.

Leona asked again: "How did you find me?"

"I can detect the brain waves of any mutant in the world, so discovering you is a natural thing. Your psychic ability is so powerful, as bright as a torch." Charles said, "After knowing your existence, I

I started to investigate you, but the results of the investigation surprised everyone. Your genetic data was recorded in the orphanage before, and I extracted your data and compared it with mine." He smiled, "Even I

I didn’t even know that I had become a father.”

"Do I have any other relatives?" Leona continued to ask, "Besides my mother, biological brothers and sisters, grandparents, grandparents, etc..."

"I'm sorry Lina, the people you mentioned have all passed away." Charles smiled bitterly, "I still have some relatives here who don't move around very often. As for your mother, I didn't investigate these matters carefully..."

He paused and said, "If you want to know, I can have someone check it out."

"No, I'm just asking," Leona said, "It doesn't matter if you have any relatives."

"Get some rest, Lena." Charles said, "I need to talk to your adoptive parents."

He leaves the bedroom.

The situation of this meeting was not at all what Charles expected.

Why does Leona lack affection for her foster family? Is it because of her childhood experience of being alone? Or is it because she is a different kind of mutant that she has feelings for the Brants?

Intuition told Charles that Leona's matter was not as simple as he thought.

…

Two days later, Charles came to Brant's house to pick up Leona.

She jumped onto the super luxury sports car, looked at the man acting as the driver curiously and asked: "Who are you? Red sunglasses are very cool!"

"Scott Summers, you can call me Scott, or you can call me Cyclops." He smiled and nodded to Leona.

Charles and Leona were sitting side by side in the back seat.

He said: "Don't you bring any luggage?"

Leona asked back: "Will you buy me new clothes?"

"Yes." Charles laughed.

Leona waved to the Brandts outside the car, "Thank you, goodbye!"

"You don't have to say thank you to us." Mrs. Brandt's eyes turned red.

"You can come back any time," Mr. Brandt said, "your brothers and sisters don't know you're leaving yet..."

"There will be a chance to meet. I'm in West Chester." Leona said.

Her words made the Brants relax, and they both forced a smile, "I hope you can be this happy forever, Lena."

The car gradually drove away.

Leona looked at the Brandts standing on the side of the street through the rearview mirror.

"They seem to love me very much," she said to herself.

"They do love you very much." Charles said softly, "Maybe they can't take good care of you, but they always care about you."

"If they knew I was a mutant, they wouldn't care about me like this. They all hate mutants very much." Leona said leaning on the soft seat.

"That's because ordinary people don't understand mutants. The Brants don't do that. They treat you as their own child." Charles emphasized his tone.

Don't actively put yourself in opposition to ordinary humans - this is what Charles really wants to say.

Leona was still young, so he thought she might not understand what this sentence meant, so he didn't say it.

But Leona is not someone who is easily fooled. She also has telepathy and can see clearly what others are thinking. Perhaps Charles's original intention was to appease Leona, and he did not want her to distance herself from ordinary humans just because she was a mutant.

But the fact is that ordinary humans will take the initiative to draw a clear line between mutants.

Scott lightened the mood at the right time: "It takes a long time to drive to West Chester. Do you want to listen to some music?"

"Yes!" Leona's attention was immediately diverted.

"I remember there was a box of nuts in the back," Scott said.

Leona took out the nut box and ate the nuts while listening to the song.

It's November now, and the weather has turned cooler. The sun doesn't make people feel hot when it shines on them, it only makes them feel warm.

She doesn't hate this feeling of freedom and tranquility.

The scenes on both sides continued to recede, with pedestrians coming and going on the sidewalk, and Leona observed the shops on the street with interest.

The car drove for a long time, and Leona fell asleep in the back seat and woke up to find that they had arrived in West Chester.

Scott parked the car in front of the huge manor.

"Sure enough, he is very rich." Leona muttered.

Scott got out of the car to get the wheelchair in the trunk, so Leona used her superpower to levitate Charles, and she placed him firmly in the wheelchair.

Charles nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Lena."

"You're welcome." Leona pushed Charles' wheelchair toward the manor.

The main building of this huge manor is built in medieval style, like a castle.

The various plants in the garden are carefully manicured, and on the other side of the grass is a wide golf course.

"This is a school I run, and all the people living here are mutants." Charles said, "It's class time now, and you won't see many students. But you can meet other people."

"Who is it?" Leona looked around.

Charles pointed to the door of the building: "Here he comes."

At that moment, Leona once again sensed a familiar brain wave.

The owner of that brainwave is...

"Magneto?" Leona blinked.

"It seems that you are much more famous than me, Eric, Lina recognized you at a glance." Charles smiled.

Leona's eyes showed confusion, "Eric?"

Not Max Eisenhardt?

"Do you know me from TV?" Eric squatted down and looked at Leona. "It seems that I have to clarify to you that half of the reports on TV are exaggerated. I am not that scary.

"He smiled slightly, "Nice to meet you, Lina."

Leona stared at the familiar face of Magneto and couldn't help but feel that it was extremely inconsistent.

Eric took out a small black box and placed it in Leona's hand.

"I have prepared a gift for you. I picked it up on the beach many years ago," he said. "I think you will like it."

Leona opened the box and saw an orange-yellow amber inside. A light brown butterfly was sealed in the amber, with its wings spread.

"I love it so much!" Leona said happily, "Thank you, Uncle Eric!"

She was so happy when she received the gift, and even looked at Magneto's face and found it much more pleasing to the eye.

Leona played with the butterfly amber for a while, then suddenly remembered something.

She turned to look at Charles, "Did you forget to give me a gift?"
