West's Summer [Comprehensive English and American]

"Good morning, Mr. Xavier."

Blinking, the field of vision gradually changed from blurred to clear.He looked at the unfamiliar ceiling above his head in a daze for a while, then relaxed his body, and completely sank himself into the quilt with the smell of sunshine again.

"...good morning, Jarvis."

Slowly climbed out of bed, and slowly moved to the bathroom to take a shower.When West finally fully woke up from his drowsiness, Stark's smart housekeeper AI has thoughtfully opened the curtains for him, allowing the sunlight to completely pour on the floor, bringing a pleasant clarity to the whole room.

Shumenshulu ordered cornflakes and fried ham omelette from Jarvis.West walked into the kitchen, greeted the only Bucky who was still there, and then buried himself in his own breakfast.Perhaps because it took too much effort to get angry with Charles, he has been waking up later than usual these days.But fortunately, this is not Xavier School, he doesn't have to teach the children on time, let alone go on missions all over the world.Therefore, it seems that it is possible to indulge yourself for a little laziness once in a while.

Resting his chin in one hand, poking a golden egg roll absently with a fork in the other, West squinted his eyes, and the black stud on his right ear swayed slightly with his movements.Of course, it wasn't the first time he came to the Avengers Mansion after losing his temper with Charles. He also knew that as soon as he left the manor, Professor X would immediately search for his brain waves to determine his location.But a week has passed, and since he checked into the Avengers Building, Charles has not tried to get in touch with him in any way. West feels that he is probably really determined to think about it calmly this time.

——To be honest, this blow to him was indeed bigger than the professor's insistence on sending him to England.

In West's memory, he never seemed to have seen his parents.And because of the mutant relationship, the nurses and children in the orphanage kept him at a respectful distance and didn't care much about him. He always thought that he was the only monster in the world.

Until one day, the young Professor Charles and another companion stood in front of him, so that he was no longer alone.But because West was too young at that time, and their decisive battle with Shaw was imminent, they went through the adoption procedures with the hospital first, and agreed to take him away after the first battle.

There were two names of guardians in the adoption procedure, which West remembered clearly.After Charles and Eric left, all his concerns and hopes were tied to that thin stack of papers.Although he only met each other a few times, West really liked them, and he even imagined how they would live together for a long time... But sometimes, fate is always so dramatic and cruel.When West was full of hope and welcomed the person he wanted to meet again in anticipation, only the professor in a wheelchair came to fulfill their promise.

He didn't know if Charles had resented Eric. Perhaps, as the professor said, they just had different ideas, so they chose different paths. There is no right or wrong to say.But West felt that no matter how the professor defended Magneto, he still harbored resentment, because no matter how much the man wanted to stick to his own path and how he planned to use radical means to establish the kingdom of mutants, he should not be in Charles. Leave when he is most helpless, and put him in all the temptations and fears with malicious intentions.

——And this is just the most insignificant reason why West has been tirelessly trying to find trouble with his other guardian for so many years.

"West?"

Probably because he really couldn't bear to watch this man grit his teeth in the air for no reason.Halfway across the table, Bucky, who had finished his last sip of milk, patted West on the shoulder, pulling him out of his thoughts.

"If you don't like your breakfast, you should have told Jarvis earlier, and he will prepare something more palatable for you."

With such a sincere suggestion, it is obvious that the companion's distraction is all related to the egg roll that was forked on the plate.West turned his head and met Bucky's sincere eyes, admitting it was neither denying nor denying it, so he could only grin his lips in embarrassment.

"However, you didn't get up early today." Bucky threw the milk cup into the sink, and turned his head: "Do you want to go to the training room with me? There have been no new tasks recently, and Steve may be there."

"Well... well, I don't have anything to do here anyway."

Throwing away the fork and looking at the mess on the plate has no appetite.West nodded, decided to put all the bad things behind him, got up and walked towards the door

The moment he stepped out of the kitchen, he seemed to think of something. He grabbed the door frame and poked his head back into the door:

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention, I really like breakfast, Jarvis...although I'm sorry I didn't eat all of it."

The AI ​​answered him with a robotic arm waving up and down the edge of the pool.

In fact, there is no need for West to explain so redundantly.Jarvis is an intelligent system created by Tony Stark, and does not have any humane emotional functions - such as frustration over an unfinished breakfast plate.But I don't know why, compared to other artificial intelligences he has seen, Jarvis always gives him the illusion that it has the same intelligence and emotions as humans.

Although, it did turn out a long time later that this really wasn't some fancy illusion.But now, he really regrets it, why he followed Bucky to the training room to find Steve to pass the time on a whim.

...I should have known this was going to happen.

Staggering up from Captain America's feet, West felt like every bone in his body was broken.

"Your fighting skills are very skilled, Wei."

Standing in place with a relaxed body, Steve took the towel handed by Bucky, and looked up and down this overly young boy in a little surprise:

"Generally speaking, it takes many years for this kind of conditioned reflex to form, and it requires a lot of practice... You look like you are only seventeen or eighteen years old. Logically speaking, this is impossible."

"Huh... I didn't tell you?"

Even more surprised than Steve.West looked back and forth between the faces of the captain and the winter soldier, and found that their expressions were indeed very puzzled, and finally determined that he might not have really talked about these things about himself with the Avengers.

— After all, you didn’t ask, so it can’t be considered that I deliberately concealed it, right?

Thinking so helplessly, West pointed to his nose with a funny tone:

"I can't believe you never found out... my own time is stopped, so my appearance will not change or anything, it will always be my 17-year-old appearance."

"...!!"

Both of Steve were obviously shocked, and the water glass in Winter Soldier's hand even accidentally dropped to the ground.For a moment, they stood upright in place, as if it had never occurred to them that West held such an astonishing secret.

Fortunately, there are no normal guys in the Avengers Building, let alone other aliens and mutants of all kinds.Therefore, superheroes have always had a high acceptance of this kind of thing.Looking curiously at West from head to toe again, the expression on Bucky's face was a little excited:

"So, you won't grow old, is it related to your awakened mutant ability?"

"That's right...but to be precise, it's the price paid by ability." With a smile, West put the towel on the back of the chair beside him:

"All powers are not unlimited, and so are the superpowers of mutants. If you use your abilities beyond a certain limit, beyond what you can bear, you will be affected more or less badly... I am A great example."

"I understand, that must have been painful."

Knowing that the mission of the X-Men is no easier than that of the Avengers, Steve can of course easily hear the bitterness in West's words.Nodding in apology, he observed the boy's face and made sure that he was not disgusted with this topic, so he continued:

"So, is it convenient to tell us how old you should be in real life?"

"This..." Touching the bruise on his shoulder that was just beaten out, West narrowed his eyes: "I've lived too long, I have to think about it."

"..."

Cap and Bucky say they're suddenly a little on the loose.

"I'm just kidding, don't be so nervous." Glancing at the expressions of the two, West burst out laughing:

"I'm not as old as you... However, it's okay to pretend to be an elder to educate Tony."

"Hey! Don't put me in it!"

As soon as the words fell, Iron Man's dissatisfied voice came from the ceiling.Tony gritted his teeth and looked at the old goblin pretending to be tender, smiling and waving at the screen, wondering if this guy had figured out that he was eavesdropping upstairs... Bah!What eavesdropping, he just accidentally overheard it when he turned on the PA system! !

"What's the matter, Tony?"

It was kind of funny watching West flirtatiously flirting with Iron Man through the surveillance camera, Steve shook his head, and suddenly felt that it wasn't all their fault that he hadn't found out that this guy's age didn't match the appearance so far.

"Come to the living room, boys. We've got work to do."

Silently rolling his eyes at West, Tony Stark flipped through the documents in his hand and decided not to argue with him with his big heart.

"By the way, Will. If you'd told us your real age, I wouldn't have been fighting you in armor all the time—"

Quickly pressing the mute button, Iron Man cut off the end of his voice in the boy's distorted expression:

"I never hit older people."

West: "..."

Captain America & Bucky: Huh. [Indifference.jpg]
