In West Chester, New York, a castle-like mansion covering an area of more than 20 acres is the famous Xavier family estate.
The once powerful and large family has gone through the American Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I, and World War II. Now only Dr. Brian Xavier and his family of three are left.
As the first colonists from the British Empire to come to Merigan, their family has taken root and operated here for nearly two hundred years. As early as 1792, they had established a large farm here, which was the prototype of today's Xavier Castle Manor.
After Charles failed to recruit Eric, he drove back to the castle dejectedly.
Although Columbia University is not far from the castle, he was so worried that he drove for more than 2 hours to get home.
Norton McCoy hesitated in front of the castle for a long time, and when he saw the silver-white Ford car, he stopped the car excitedly
"Dr. Charles, I contacted you before, do you remember?"
After the car window was rolled down, Charles's dejected face was revealed. He forced himself to cheer up and think about it before slapping his forehead and saying.
"Oh, it's you, Dr. Norton, you said three days ago that something was wrong with the children at home. You want me to go to your house and find out if Hank is a mutant, right?"
He and Norton McCoy are colleagues at the Human Mutant Power Emergency Center, but they belong to different departments and are just acquaintances.
Three days ago, Norton McCoy contacted Charles privately and said that his son was acting strange. Changes. When emotional, the face and body will change dramatically, like a humanoid beast with infinite strength and violent temper.
However, at that time, Charles was only thinking about recruiting Eric and infiltrating the Lin family and had no energy to take care of this matter. Tactfully postponed until today
"I'm so sorry, Dr. Norton, something happened today and I……"
He is really in no mood to deal with Hank's matter now, and is worried that his rash actions will alert the enemy. If the Lin family gets into trouble, the president may not be able to protect the Human Mutant Power Emergency Center.
Norton McCoy's face immediately darkened. He was being teased over and over again. If he wasn't concerned about his son's safety, he would have wanted to punch the bastard in front of him in the face.
He tried hard to suppress his anger and begged in a calm tone as much as possible
"Dr. Charles, please understand that as a father, you are worried about your son. Can you come with me to see Hank? 24
Speaking of this, Norton McCoy hesitated for a moment, but thinking that his son was still tied up at home, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice
"You may not know that the Scientific Research Department of the Human Mutant Force Emergency Center is not just researching the equipment and medicines of your operations department. As the leader of the genetics research team, I have come into contact with no less than 100 special genetic samples. The samples inside are all named with special code names. Your code name is ThoughtDemon."
Charles was like a thunderbolt, and his eyes widened in disbelief. rhetorical question
"impossible! President Eisenhower promised me that he would not conduct any experiments on mutants, nor would he collect any of my genetic samples for research!"
Norton McCoy was a little gloating in his heart, but he showed a flawless expression on his face. Instead, he took the opportunity to sigh with the same hatred.
"Dr. Charles, you are too naive. If I hadn't understood their true attitude towards mutants, I wouldn't have come to you privately. There are various signs that Hank may also be a mutant, but he is my son, and I don’t want my son to lie on the autopsy table one day!"
Charles froze in his seat. He was disappointed when he failed to recruit Eric. Unexpectedly, he heard the news that shattered his outlook just after he got home.
If Norton McCoy didn't lie, then the Federation asked him to organize human beings. The Mutant Power Emergency Center may not be guiding mutants and humans to live in peace as they say, but they want to use it to find more mutants and increase the number of samples for research so that they can study the source of mutant power. It was just to strengthen the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the federal army to deal with the Fox Hunting Legion of the Lin family.
But there was another paradox. When he met President Eisenhower, the other party did not have any relevant information or memory in his mind..
It’s not that Charles underestimates the Federation. His psychic ability is currently blocked by no one except that person.
Of course, during that meeting, he only probed the superficial thoughts of the President and did not probe deeply into all his memories. Maybe the Federation There are special ways to shape false shallow thoughts
"Thank you, Dr. Norton, but I cannot believe your words. I will meet with Mr. President as soon as possible to verify it. Now you lead the way, and you and I will go check on Hank."
Seeing that he agreed to his request, Norton McCoy ran back to his car in two steps and drove wildly in front of him. The drive, which lasted more than an hour, only took more than 20 seconds as he frantically stepped on the accelerator and speeded. We arrived in minutes.
Before the car could stop, Norton McCoy pushed open the car door and jumped out. Even though he sprained his ankle, he limped out and took out the key to open the door.
"Charles, hurry up, Eleanor is comforting Hank, the situation is critical, do you understand?"
Charles, who had just gotten off the car, couldn't help but shook his head. He was so moved by this strong father's love that he couldn't help but quicken his pace and follow him closely. After
Norton McCoy saw him entering, he looked around to make sure there was no one there. After being followed, they immediately closed the door and locked it.
The two of them ran all the way down to the basement and heard the roar of a wild beast.
"Let me go, mom, I'm not a monster!"
"Damn it, let me go!"
Bang, bang, bang!
The roar was mixed with the loud noise of metal collision, and the almost inaudible sound of female crying.
Charles did not dare to delay, speeding up and surpassing Norton McCoy, and in one fell swoop,���Pushed open the secret room door.
In the spacious basement, I saw a monster over 1.8 meters tall with bulging muscles and hair. He was tied to a load-bearing column with arm-thick iron chains. Not far away, a blond beauty stood wiping her tears and sobbing.
"Hush kid, don't be afraid! Your parents won't hurt you, they're just worried about you, okay?"
Charles spoke softly while using his psychic abilities to slowly calm the fire in Hank's heart.
As Hank's mood gradually stabilized, he no longer struggled wildly, his blue vertical pupils showed Full of vigilance
"Who are you? What are you doing at my house? His voice was thick and deep, like the voice of a baritone announcer.
Norton McCoy limped up to his son and quietly introduced him to Charles.
"Don't worry, son, this is my father's colleague Dr. Charles, who is also a mutant. I asked him to come here to determine whether you are a mutant and to see if you have any potentially malignant genetic mutations."
After some explanations, Hank let down his guard and was able to communicate calmly.
Charles sensed carefully and quickly determined that he was awakened by X and was indeed a mutant like himself.
"Norton, you guessed it right, Hank is a mutant, but he has awakened from the X factor in his body."
He first explained to Norton McCoy, then turned to Hank and continued.
"You still can't control the activation and dormancy of X factor, and you can't control the changes in your body shape. But I can help you in this regard."
"I think the best way is to let you follow me first and live in Xavier Manor temporarily. I will slowly teach you to control your power."
Hank looked at him suspiciously, then looked at his crying mother, nodded and agreed.
"Okay, I'm willing to go back with you, but I'm afraid of hurting my parents if I stay at home!"
Hearing that the child was leaving home and living in someone else's home, Norton McCoy thought about it for a while and reluctantly agreed, but Eleanor was extremely reluctant to leave. Charles didn't explain much and concentrated on using his psychic abilities to suppress Hank's inner emotions. Fear and worry, after a few minutes of clearing away the negative emotions in his heart, Hank's huge body slowly shrank.
Seeing that his son had returned to his original appearance of a handsome boy who was 1.6 meters tall, Eleanor jumped on him with joy. Go up
"Son, you are okay, you have changed back!" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Oh my God, I'm so scared of losing you!"
As she said this, she hugged her son and kissed him several times before slowly calming down.
After seeing Charles' ability, Eleanor finally agreed to leave her son to him for instruction.
So after bidding farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Norton, she returned to Xavier There is another passenger in the manor's car
……[]
William Stryker has been very troubled recently. Her wife Marcy seemed to suffer from postpartum depression after giving birth to a child. Sometimes she was startled and said she saw a monster, but when he took his wife to the Army Hospital, he found out No issues were found.
Little did he know that the culprit who caused Marcy to see the monster was his newly born son Jason, a future notorious master of illusions.
The attending physician John Terry even suggested that he take his wife to a psychiatrist, but he flatly refused. He doted on his wife and did not believe that Marcy could be mentally ill.
"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, if you don't want to go to a psychiatric hospital, take Marcy out for a walk more often. That will improve her mental state."
In desperation, John Terry could only give this advice. The patients and their families did not believe his diagnosis, so they could only do their best to accept fate.
After hearing this, William Stryker went to the Army Headquarters without saying a word and took the photo I applied for a 30-day vacation and returned home regardless of whether my boss agreed or not.
"Dear, let’s go buy some milk powder and diapers for Jason today. Lam’s Department Store in Queens is having a sale, so you can buy a little more at once."
Ever since Marcy saw the monster, he was in a trance and didn't dare to go out. He could only use the excuse of buying something for his son Jason to trick his wife out.
After Marcy hesitated for a while, motherly love finally defeated fear. For the first time, she mustered up the courage to go out.
After William Stryker installed the baby seat, he helped her fasten the seat belt, then started the car and drove towards the shopping mall in Queens.
After more than an hour of driving, the car stopped In front of a huge department store, on the outer wall of the tall shopping mall building, advertisements for various special discounts were scrolling.
When the couple saw that baby products were on sale at 20% off, they simply bought more than two months worth of them. Dosage.
After a meal of shopping, William Stryker could see that his wife Marcy’s mental state had improved significantly. He wanted to take her to visit a famous women’s clothing store, but he couldn’t touch the shriveled wallet. Not giving up the idea, he sighed helplessly.
As an army lieutenant colonel, his salary is as high as US$3,556, which is more than 80% of the salary of beautiful people. The cost of living in New York, an international metropolis, is too high in a suburb. The monthly mortgage payment for a single-family house only costs 1,200 US dollars. In addition to household expenses, the rest also has to deal with the upcoming social interactions, and the US dollars in my pocket are quite stretched.
Perhaps William Stryker's companionship played a role. Marcy's mental state was normal for a period of time, and he didn't show any signs of his previous nervousness.
A month later, after the vacation ended, he had to say goodbye to his reluctant wife after receiving a call from the Army Headquarters. He and his son put on their military uniforms and returned to the Army Headquarters.
What he didn't expect was that, without his consent, the Army Headquarters kicked him to a new department.
Human Mutant Force Emergency Center, what the hell kind of unit is this?
William Angrily, Stryker tore up the notice document and found Bill Coster, the boss who recommended him.
"I need a reasonable explanation. You 617 are taking personal revenge, sir!"
Bilcost glanced at it and said in a sinister official tone.
"Lieutenant Colonel, I need to remind you that insulting your superior is a serious violation! But who allowed me to have it?���I'll forgive you this time."
"You must not have read the notification document carefully. The Human Mutant Force Emergency Center is directly under the White Palace and is affiliated with the Army Headquarters. If you go there, your military rank will be raised by one level, and your salary and benefits will be raised by three levels. Isn't this enough to satisfy you?"
William Stryker was stunned for a moment. Although he was not willing to be transferred from the front-line troops, the temptation to increase his military rank by one level and salary level by three levels was also very great for him. After recalling the army's salary and salary levels, he was surprised to find If you go to the Human Mutant Power Emergency Center, you can get 5,654 yuan per month, and you don’t have to worry about the expenses at home.
"I'm sorry, I was impulsive, and I will obey orders resolutely!"
With Bill Coster's joking smile, William Stryker got the transfer order and files and rushed to the Human Mutant Power Emergency Center.
White Palace Commissioner Michael Kirby received him in the office and thoughtfully made him a cup. coffee
"Mr. Colonel Stryker, welcome to join the Human Mutant Force Emergency Center!"
"The reason why Mr. President selected you from the Army Headquarters is to strengthen the patriotism education of the staff here. Of course, this is the obvious reason."
Having said this, Michael took a sip of coffee and looked at William Stryker, who was sitting upright. He felt very satisfied.
"In fact, your mission is to monitor Charles, who is the commander of the special operations team of the Human Mutant Power Emergency Center and a mutant with powerful psychic abilities."
"We need you to pay attention to his every move and report to me promptly when you find any abnormalities. In addition, the special operations team's recent work has been very inefficient. Charles is still too womanly and too weak towards those mutants."
William Stryker is not a fool. He knows very well what Michael Kirby means.
It is impossible for the five-star general in the White Palace to safely hand over the task of recruiting mutants to Charles alone. Just come to him. Raising another team will serve as both a supervision and a deterrent to Charles.
"I understand what needs to be done. Do you have any other instructions?"
He stood up, saluted, and asked respectfully.
Michael nodded and gave a serious instruction.
"Later, you go to the SHIELD Logistics Department and ask Howard Stark to get some equipment and information. He can help you work better!"
"I know you are not happy to leave Army Headquarters, but if you do this job well, I guarantee that you will be promoted to general faster than Bill Coster!"
"Work hard, future General Stryker!"
William Stryker saluted again and simply took the order and left.
