West's Summer [Comprehensive English and American]

In life, there will always be one or two accidents that you don't want to encounter at all.

After being carried back to the Avengers Building by Iron Man, he received a whole afternoon of examination and treatment by Bruce Banner.West lay half dead on the terrifyingly large sofa in the living room, and finally had time to calm down and take a good look at the series of messy things that happened today.

"That lunatic Yi Laizhe is still alive and has restarted the 'Tower Project'...then our world is not far from being destroyed."

Using such a serious sentence as his opening remark, he looked at the circle of superheroes sitting or standing around the sofa, and suddenly had the illusion that he had just come to the building a week ago and was surrounded by all the Avengers.

"We've seen enough of this kind of person, we don't need him alone." Indifferently shrugged, Hawkeye mumbled with a biscuit in his mouth, "So, the point is that you need to explain to us, this damn 'Yi' Doctor 'what the hell is going on?"

"And his relationship with you." Nodding, Natasha added.

"Okay, ok...please don't make it an interrogation. It's a long story, if you want to hear—"

Under Captain America's helpless gaze, he picked up his out-of-print shield and put it under his head, trying to relieve the pain in his skull that seemed to be about to explode.West grinned, still unable to escape the aftereffects of excessive use of super powers, and his thoughts went back to the time that he deliberately buried a long time ago.

"I think you should also know that for mutants, there are no more than two ways of survival for us—one is to show off our abilities without reservation like Eric, and fight for a place at the cost of declaring war; or What Charles has always done, hide his differences, and live in peace with normal humans..."

After Professor X and Magneto parted ways, Charles brought him back from the orphanage and adopted him.After so many years of nurturing teachings, and accompanying him through the despair of having to temporarily close the mutant school, even though he didn't dislike Eric's thoughts in his heart, West still obeyed his wishes, remained silent, Concealed, committing his personal life and free will into his hands.Even the title of "The Hermit" is his vow to obey Professor X's belief and to be loyal to his adoptive father Charles forever.

There is no good reason for this.West Xavier's life really began when he met Charles Eric, and although his guardians are now hostile to each other, it can't change the fact that they gave him a future that is enough to look forward to.

However, no amount of care can sometimes prevent an unexpected omission.And this accident, in everyone's worldly stories, is often the beginning of a shocking conspiracy.

"When I was 17 years old, I followed Charles out of the manor for the first time, and went to discuss matters related to mutants with the upper echelon. I forget the specifics, but the process didn't seem to go smoothly anyway."

The icy temperature of the shield seemed to ease the pain a little, West narrowed his eyes, and waved his hand to thank Steve for his generosity:

"Actually, it's okay if it doesn't go well. Anyway, with Charles here, these are not a problem. It's just that they were a little too aggressive before, and they attracted Eric's attention. When we came out of the federal office, he happened to come to assassinate him. The staff directly collapsed the entire building..."

At that time, Magneto didn't actually know that Professor X was there.When the building collapsed and they were about to be buried under the rubble together with ordinary humans, West used his ability for the first and only time in public.But it was just this one time that produced a result that no one expected, and almost brought him a catastrophe.

"what have you done?"

It was easy to hear a trace of helplessness in his words.Tony Stark thought, to be able to make that 'Dr. Yi' still remember, I am afraid that the ability he uses is not just to manipulate the air to bounce the falling objects away.

Facts have proved that he did not guess wrong.

"At that time, I went back in time." With a wry smile, remembering the scene when a building was about to collapse under the eyes of everyone, West raised his hand and covered his eyes:

"I don't know how I can achieve that level. The result of forcibly distorting time is that my body stays at the age of 17 forever, and it leads to a secondary mutation of the genes in my body... Although Charles later eliminated all However, it is difficult to guarantee that the news can be concealed...I think that is when Yi Laizhe began to notice me."

Even among mutants, there are only a handful of instances where genes undergo secondary mutations.What's more, this mutation disrupted West's original metabolism, causing him not to age.Coupled with his original ability to change energy structures and even manipulate time... For a lunatic who has devoted his life to researching and transforming mutants, such a body is really fatally attractive.

So, 20 years ago, after dealing with a plot against mutants.Dr. Yi led his reformers to ambush West, who was out on a mission in Paris, and imprisoned him in a secret base in the Southern Alps for experiments.For several months in a row, he did everything he could, and almost tore him apart.

"I'm afraid I can't recall the process of the experiment. But I know that they want to extract the mutated part of my gene to make bionic weapons... As for what to make, you can imagine what you want."

"Anyway, it won't be for world peace." Leaning on the back of the sofa condescendingly, Bucky rarely took the initiative to answer the conversation, but he could understand West's feelings, "But fortunately, you escaped in the end, and we have so far I haven't seen anything modified with your genes."

"Ah... this is the only place where I am so lucky to have two fathers."

Shrugging, the scene of Magneto leading the mutant team directly overturning the entire secret base seems to be vivid in his memory.In West's impression, that seemed to be the only time Charles and Eric joined forces unconditionally after the beach in Cuba. God knows he woke up from the experimental table and saw Magneto picking him up and directing the X-Men to rampage and beat people everywhere. What kind of mood - he even thought that he was finally driven crazy by Yi Laizhe, or injected some terrible hallucinogen.Cyclops, who participated in the whole process back then, still firmly believes that the sudden deep coma after West was not at all due to blood loss and weakness, but excessive shock.

However, at that time Eric had sworn to him that Yi Laizhe was dead, and the base where his genetic data was stored was destroyed to the point that there was nothing left.But now it seems that those materials not only fell into the hands of Hydra, but were also snatched by S.H.I.E.L.D.And although Dr. Yi has disappeared for 20 years, he is still alive and well, and now he is preparing to make a comeback... This kind of mistake is not Magneto's mistake at all, next time we meet, he will have to use this to laugh at the middle-aged father.

"So, we have another 'Crazy Doctor' on our wanted list."

Finally, I made a summary of this conversation.Steve thoughtfully poured a cup of coffee and handed it to West, beckoning him to stop his throat, which was also an apology for having to remind him of this unbearable memory... Although they didn't think that this face was completely different from their real age. The guy who doesn't match is so vulnerable.

"Hey! This is the grievance between Yi Laizhe and I, and it's also an internal matter of the mutants. Don't you think you've gone too far, Captain?"

He knew Steve's kindness, but he really didn't want them to intervene in this matter, and he was even reluctant to tell Charles.After all, Dr. Yi's subordinates have been transformed by him in all kinds of strange ways, and who knows what terrible reformers will appear.That lunatic's target is only him, he doesn't want to see his friends and family hurt because of him, it's not worth it.

However, precisely because of this, it is also impossible for West and these friends or family members to let him face everything alone.

"Don't be stupid, Wei, you know that this matter is not negotiable."

Not paying attention to the brown-haired boy's resistance at all, Tony lazily glanced at those too blue eyes, and said casually:

"And cap's decision is not all for you... Dr. Yi's plan was discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. It has been updated intermittently in the past 20 years. Do you think Dr. Yi alone can continue to research while disappearing from the world? Since Hydra is involved, we cannot ignore it. Apart from cooperation, now There is no other way."

"..." looked up and looked around, expecting someone to refute but found nothing.West twitched his lips, not expecting that the matter had indeed involved more than himself. He really didn't want to admit that he had been persuaded by Iron Man.

"...I will suggest it to Charles." In the end, he could only sigh in compromise, "Steve, you'd better make a plan, and try to be as detailed as possible for the cooperation of me or the X-Men... It will be easy to talk about it this way. It's more convenient."

"Okay." Captain America smiled slightly after taking the shield that West handed back.

"In that case, I hope you don't mind if I stick a needle in your arm."

Turning out a special needle tube from nowhere, Tony Stark happily explained to someone's stiff eyes, "No, no, no... Don't get me wrong, I'm not very interested in dissecting you... It's just that since Dr. Yi has planned Your genes are used in bionic warriors, we must at least know the mystery of it, so that we can find a way to solve it when we encounter such a thing, right?"

—Another reason he couldn't refuse.

"……bring it on."

Heartbroken, he glanced at Stark, whose eyes were full of curiosity. West gritted his teeth and rolled up his shirt cuffs.

Nodding in satisfaction, Tony raised the syringe: "Hold on, this thing might be a little..."

"Ow!!!!"

"...stinging."

Before he had time to remind, he saw that the young man had been brutally murdered.Dr. Banner, who had been stabbed by that thing several times, turned his head and silently shed tears of sympathy for him.

"Speaking of which, I have a question I've wanted to ask for a long time."

Watching Steve helplessly press the frizzy West on the sofa, in case he staged the tragedy of tearing up Iron Man in front of his eyes.Hawkeye swallowed the last biscuit in his mouth, and secretly wiped his hands with Thor's cloak:

"What does the 'x' mean on that stolen plan? I asked Coulson, and he, like us, initially thought it was something from the X-Men, so he didn't care... ...Did that Dr. Yi do it on purpose?"

"That's not the letter 'x', Clint."

Under the restraint of Captain America, he had to give up Tony Stark's plan to be made into a piece of steel.West put down his shirt sleeves and explained patiently: "That's the 'St. Andrew's Cross'."

The St. Andrew's Cross is the symbol of the cross in the shape of an "x".According to legend, when Andrew, a disciple of Jesus, was martyred in Patras, Greece, he asked the Roman authorities to be crucified on an x-shaped cross because he thought he was not worthy of dying on the cross like Christ... For others present, this is not an unfamiliar term.

"Illider is a Scot, and his nationalism is more serious than anyone I know. It seems that he researched and transformed mutants as an opportunity...and St. Andrew's cross is regarded as the symbol and patron saint of Scotland. , he will use this as the symbol of 'Project High Tower', I don't think it is very difficult to understand."

As I spoke, I seemed to feel that I had grasped something I had never realized before.West glanced at the bewildered Thor who said "what are you talking about", and frowned subconsciously:

"So it seems that Charles is not suddenly sending me to England for no reason?... His telepathy is so powerful, I'm afraid he has discovered something long ago, otherwise he would have to go to Oxford...Damn it, I'm afraid I have to Give him a call!"

"This is easy." Snapping his fingers in the air, Tony volunteered to speak, "I can let Jarvis..."

"sire."

Before he finished speaking, the smart butler who had been dutifully silent all this time suddenly spoke first: "I received a call request from Professor X, do you want to answer it?"

"...Help you, well, it seems that you don't need it now."

Glaring at a young boy who jumped up from the sofa with a stiff expression, Stark shook his head, still not understanding what the father and son were doing.

"Come in, now."
