[Comprehensive Anglo-American] The First Mutant

Zero said he would come back in the afternoon, and he really came back in the afternoon.At that time, Phoenix and his son were in the gazebo in the garden. One fell asleep and took a nap, and the other was immersed in writing and drawing in a notebook.

Cosmos are planted scattered on the grass, and the roses around the gazebo are much denser.September is the flowering period, and the delicate flower buds unique to Rosaceae are ready to bloom, light pink, only the tips of the petals reveal a deeper red, which looks delicate and delicate.As the breeze blows, the young man sitting on the side is also included in the painting. The smooth shirt clings to his smooth skin, and the ivory-colored collarbone is exposed between the open neckline. The young man with a handsome face, as if given by a god, is sleeping quietly , the expression is quiet and beautiful, and a slight smile is intoxicating.

Zero almost dared not approach them.Fortunately, as Phoenix's apostle, he was automatically classified in Phoenix's possessions, and his arrival would not arouse Phoenix's vigilance.

Mark looked up and saw Zero leaning over cautiously, frowning and asked Jarvis: [The two of them are really just friends? 】

The artificial intelligence doesn't know how to respond to this.On the contrary, Tony had a feeling that this was the case. He said that he always felt that the legendary Uncle Andre was weird!Is this guy chasing Phoenix?

It’s not all about the pursuit, Zero’s legs are deceptively weak as he walks, the closer he gets to Phoenix, the more he feels like he wants to walk past.

It was about when he was within Phoenix's reach, and Phoenix would occasionally like to silence his head, pat him on the shoulder and arm...whatever.

Alas, dear master.

As if hearing the soft whisper in his heart, the young man's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly woke up.

Realizing that he was back, Phoenix casually reached out and rubbed Zero's cold hair: "Good afternoon, Zero."

The man kept his kneeling position, squinted his eyes and leaned his head over, like a super-large canine.

Tony (Mark): There seems to be a sour smell of love floating over...

Mark: ... Bah!

"I'm done, Dad!" Mark yelled.

Phoenix opened his eyes completely, and Zero held Phoenix's hand, turned his head slightly, and glanced at Mark.

He has a pair of eyes that are as clear as a frozen lake, but so cold to the bone.

To his canines!

The little robot suddenly trembled, and tactfully looked for the backbone: "Dad!"

"I'm awake." Phoenix withdrew his hand on the odd head, and left the pavilion pillar he had leaned on for a long time.

Zero reached out to help him pull up the mat and put it behind his back.

Mark took the notebook and approached Phoenix, proudly said: "This drawing is great! Jarvis and I are geniuses!"

A bust was drawn in pencil on snow-white drawing paper, without modern gazebos and backgrounds, and even the clothes were changed into retro Roman outer garments, which were complicated but undamaged and elegant.The surrounding flower bushes are uplifted, and the long hair of the person in the painting was bundled up, and instead of hanging on the shoulders, it becomes a half-opened rose. If you look closely, there are flower vines and flower branches growing beside him. I don’t know if this person is deep Trapped in the flowers, or a beautiful elf grows out of the flowers.

Phoenix is ​​full of admiration for the completely different self in the painting, "Perfect, son!"

"Of course!" Mark hugged Phoenix's waist, "I drew this with Jarvis."

"I'm going to pack it up." Phoenix and Mark hugged each other.

"Leave it to me, Phoenix."

Zero's steady voice made Mark's eyebrows twitch, and Phoenix agreed with confidence: "It's packed and placed in the living room. This is a gift from my dear Mark."

The little robot was even more proud: "I can still draw for you in the future."

"As you wish." Zero glanced at the little robot lightly.

[I think tomorrow I have to tell myself that this guy is chasing Phoenix. 】

[Wise choice, sir. 】

Fortunately, Ling only used his eyes to frighten Mark, and he also knew that Mark was Phoenix's relative!like!of!Son, Tony in it is Howard's son again... Seriously, they are not as cute as Howard when he was a child!

Tony also felt that this Uncle Andre was not as gentle, amiable, upright, kind, and stable as his father described in a few words (N words are omitted here).Anyway, with Phoenix here, he continued to sleep after watching for a while.

Mark was sent to see the "gift" he bought - a bunch of skin care products suitable for all ages - who knows how old Mark's next narcissistic personality will be.

Seeing him completely out of sight, Zero maintained a half-kneeling posture next to Phoenix, approaching the young man, "John and Charles talked about some mutant issues, and they plan to set up an organization to deal with mutant issues first."

He put his face on the back of Phoenix's hand hanging on his knees. Before Phoenix could respond, he rubbed it again, "I said a lot, do you want to see it?"

In fact, of course, it's not just about mutants.

It's just another thing that the President wants to say, and Zero doesn't want to deal with it.

The originally delicate family relationship was separated by more than 20 years. In Phoenix's memory, he saw John Coney staring at Zero.

Excitement, warmth, this is natural, as well as curiosity, inquiry, and embarrassment settled in the eyes of that person, zero deep in his heart.

They are no longer Andre and John. Andre has become zero, silent and quiet. He remembers everything he has learned in the past, but he also begins to enjoy growing up in the dark. For company.John became the glory of the family instead of him, led the family to the pinnacle of power, and no longer thought about writers, travelers, gourmets, these wild dreams, all left him.

Andre became Zero, still young, seemingly reborn.

John has become a standard Coney, Huafa has been born, and has gradually drifted away.

President Kony had a cordial conversation with several mutants, talked about his thoughts on the status quo of mutants, and had an in-depth exchange with Charles.He believes that mutants should come into the public eye, and use the media to publicize this type of "new species", such as movies, comics, and novels with positive images, and start with culture to make the public understand and accept this special group of people.

For this reason, he also found many mutants who were interested in this, and a writer who was keen on the creation of this kind of literary and artistic works-separately mentioned, because he was the only ordinary person.John has not disclosed their names for the time being, but two of them are already well-known in the show business world.And the prolific screenwriter-writer-cartoonist, whose love of superpowers almost led him to be dismissed as an outlaw—because he once tried to "infiltrate" S.H.I.E.L.D. in order to draw a character featuring Captain America. comics!

Charles thinks this idea is very good, not to mention that through Tony's memory, he already knows that there will be more mutants in the future, and the results of his own research also show that human beings are evolving in an unselectable way.Mutants are the product of human evolution.

Many times, human beings fear the unknown and their own fantasies, and fear breeds conflict.Why did Tony hate mutants so much in the first place, because when he first saw mutants, they were using super powers to hurt his family, but he didn't have a half understanding of such powers.He needs to protect himself and the people he wants to protect, so after learning about the Sentinel Project, he readily joined. In the eyes of Tony and most of the Sentinel Project participants at the time, this was an effective way to contain mutants and protect himself .

Charles realized that not only were they fearing humans, but in his limited future memory, he also saw humans' fear of mutants.There are also some mutants themselves who are also afraid and loathe themselves-this kind of rebellious psychology is not conducive to the mutants' control of energy, but instead increases more accidents, which in turn triggers panic among more people.

"I think we can set up a group first, at least within this group, we can reach a consensus that is beneficial to each other," Charles said, "As this group expands, we can always correct the problems that arise and keep it stable. develop, and then promote it outward, absorbing more mutants and humans to join."

The "consensus" that Charles said made John nod repeatedly, "It may make people feel uncomfortable to say this, but we do need to make norms, which will eventually lead to laws, but at the beginning, they may be just rules."

When the well-sleeved president said this, he watched the gloomy young man sitting silently aside.

"What about those who disagree?" Eric asked coldly, "Is anyone who doesn't accept the rules a heresy?"

"We can't say that the rules are completely correct, so at the beginning, I think it is understandable for many compatriots to hide themselves and not accept the rules," John explained, "but when it is recognized by the vast majority of people, it is very important to human beings, When mutants and society are positive, we should pay attention to those who refuse, at least they cannot destroy the situation we maintain. They have the freedom to reject the rules, and we also have the freedom to choose to maintain the rules, but our freedom , should not be above the law.”

"When ordinary people accept the protection of the law, they also have to pay corresponding responsibilities. We can't ask the law to favor us, but we don't make any response and accept it calmly." Charles said.

Eric smiled, "But it's not the law yet."

His smile was a bit contemptuous. Even if Charles didn't read his mind and Phoenix just read this memory from a zero angle, he could see his doubts about this proposal.

Not only did he doubt whether this proposal would be as fair as Charles had imagined, but he also doubted President John Coyne, who was a mutant and a politician.

He has experienced too much, too much disappointment, and he has never had much hope for human beings.

"We're trying, Eric," the blue-eyed youth looked at him, "We're always going out."

Nothing is perfect from the beginning, someone has to take the first step and the second step.

Obviously, Charles is willing to be this brave pioneer.

Eric sometimes felt that Professor Charles might have been stupid in his studies and was extremely naive.

"...Okay, let's wait and see."

It sounded provocative, but when John saw Charles smiled at him, he ignored it for a while.

"My family once made an instrument that can expand the ability of telepathy. One of my little sisters used it to find several of our compatriots," John said to Charles very earnestly, "but her ability Far inferior to you, if it were you, you would be able to find more."

Eric raised his eyebrows, as if he was going to say something again.

John smiled and said, "I guess it's up to you to decide who our other allies are."

As if he didn’t know how precious this machine was, John waved it away and said, “I’ll have someone send it to S.H.I.E.L.D., including the general information I have about our compatriots—of course, Sending these, they themselves agree."

"So Charles said yes?" Phoenix asked Zero.

"The instrument came with us, he has already gone to study," Zero replied, "Howard is also here."

With Howard here, at least there won't be too many problems with the equipment, which will hurt Charles.Of course, if it's really safe, it's best to let Jarvis test it.

But Tony's spirit and Mark's energy cannot withstand such use.

"While Charles and the others went to see the machine, John invited us to Coney Manor, but I declined."

"He..." Phoenix thought about it, and said bluntly that Ling's relatives were very scheming, and it seemed that it was not very good.

"If the plan is successful, the mutants at the beginning will be the elders, Phoenix, and many people feel that the will of the two of us is unified," Zero put his cheek on the back of Phoenix's hand, and spoke for him.

As a member of the Coney family, Zero is very capable, and with Phoenix by his side, if he can become a member of the Coney family, it will be a huge help in the future—in any respect.

"It seems a bit interesting, but I just look at it." Phoenix said.

"As long as Charles asks you for help, you will still help him," Zero said. "At this stage, an excellent scholar with a good reputation is better than a politician who seems reliable and harmless. At present, everyone's thoughts are basically the same. There is no contradiction."

"I'm afraid judging from the current situation, not only is there no contradiction," Phoenix patted Zero's head, "Charles will feel that he has met a confidant."

Zero smile: "He's not stupid either."

I don't know what I'm laughing at, laughing at him being pulled by two handfuls of hair by Phoenix, does he look like a little girl?

"Let's go see too."

Phoenix pulled Ling, and the young man stood up and walked beside him.

So in the end, brothers who are connected by blood can't hug each other without any scruples, or reminisce like friends who haven't seen each other for many years...

They just left each other's numbers, one continued to work, and one came back in a hurry...

The author has something to say: I hope that all the characters in the article have an online IQ. It's not about twisting the plot, but their respective positions let them make choices.

It is not really kind of the Coney family to push Charles to be the leader. After all, they know nothing about the future, and the mutants have been hiding themselves before.If it succeeds, there will be no one-sided cheers, but if it fails, it will definitely be stigmatized.In addition, they wanted to get in touch with Phoenix through Zero, but Zero knew that Phoenix didn't like it, so he refused decisively.

But Charles will still try his best to do it, because this is a cause he is willing to fight for. Since the famous and powerful Coney family is willing to support it, for Charles, this is an opportunity.

So to put it bluntly, they are also using each other, but they have no intention of harming each other.
