The Third Winter Soldier

Charles looked at Lilith brought in by Lucas, smiled, and said, "Welcome to Xavier."

Lilith nodded casually, and after taking a look at the environment in the room, she turned her attention to the middle-aged man sitting in a wheelchair inside the room.With a bald head and a wheelchair, well, it fits the image of the legendary Professor X very well, so she asked the middle-aged man, "Professor X?"

"Yes, I am. Oh, maybe, you can call me Charles." Charles said softly.

"Charles." Lilith nodded, pointed to herself and said, "Lilith."

"Hello, Lilith!" Charles nodded, looked at Bucky who came in after Lilith, and said, "Hello, Bucky."

Bucky frowned slightly, and looked at Charles with a puzzled look, "You know me?"

"Yes, I know you." Charles saw that Bucky was still very puzzled, "It's a long story, but now..." He didn't continue, but smiled and said to Laura and Lucas: " Boys, thank you both for bringing your guests here, and now, please give me a moment to talk to them."

Lucas nodded almost immediately and said, "Okay!" After finishing speaking, he turned and went out, while Laura stood there motionless, staring at Charles with an expression of reluctance on her face.

"Laura!" Charles looked back at her. "Go, tell Anne by the way that an old friend has come to Xavier."

"But..." Laura's words were planned by Charles. He stared at Laura and said, "I believe Annie will be very happy to hear about it."

Laura's small face wrinkled instantly, even though she really wanted to stay, she followed Charles' words and obediently walked out.

When Laura walked out, Charles glanced at the office door. In his sight, the door moved and slowly closed.

"Wow, mind control?" Lilith watched the door close automatically under Charles' control, and exclaimed, "This is great!"

"Indeed, it can save me a lot of trouble in many cases." Charles glanced at the two classical armchairs in the room, and the two chairs moved to Lilith and Bucky at the same time, he smiled and said, "Sit down! You're welcome. "

Lilith touched the back of the chair and sat down without hesitation.

Charles looked at Bucky, who was carrying the black object, and raised his eyebrows: "Perhaps, you can put the man on your shoulders down first."

Bucky thought for a while, then threw the things on his shoulders to the ground according to his words, and sat down silently.

Charles glanced at the black object on the ground, then at Lilith and Bucky respectively, and asked, "What kind of help do you need from me?"

Lilith was slightly surprised by his straightforward question, but she liked his speaking style and said, "Yes, we need help." She said to Bucky, "You tell me!"

Hearing this, Bucky leaned over to untie the black object without saying a word, and peeled off the black bag outside, revealing a red skull-like face.

Charles looked at that face carefully for a long time, and said doubtfully, "Red Skull? No, it's not him. Who is she?"

"The Red Skull died a long time ago. The one you see now is precisely his daughter, Sienna Schmidt." Lilith said.

Charles nodded thoughtfully, looked at Sienna's skull face with closed eyes, and said, "It seems that this help is not so easy."

"Oh, it shouldn't be particularly difficult for you." Lilith looked at Charles with a smile.

Charles narrowed his eyes slightly and looked back at Lilith, "Really?"

"Look, we need a quiet place." Lilith spread her hands, "It just so happens that Xavier is such a quiet and beautiful place."

"Praising Xavier won't help you, Lilith." Charles' expression turned serious, and he turned to look at Bucky. "what are you planning to do?"

"I need a place to interrogate her!" Bucky looked at Charles, "Hydra should have started searching for her by now."

Charles pondered for a while, and said, "So, you think I'll give you a place."

"No, I'm not sure." Bucky shook his head and said honestly, "She's a big problem, wherever she's hiding."

"Charles, I know this is presumptuous. We came to Xavier today. Simply put, we want to ask you to take us in." Lilith said on the side.

Charles smiled when he heard the words, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said slowly: "No matter what you say, this job is not that simple, and it is extremely risky, isn't it? Then, Lilith, please tell me , do you think I will help you?"

"Yes!" Lilith nodded bluntly, looked at Charles and said with a smile: "Honestly, I really think so, even if you don't know me at all, the most important thing is that I heard that Xavier School for Gifted Boys Very short of teachers, isn't it? You keep us here and I can teach the kids martial arts or something."

Charles didn't speak, he stared at Lilith for a long time, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and said, "You're right, we really lack teachers." As soon as the words fell, Lilith's face showed "You see, I hit the spot." However, before she could show a smug smile, she heard Charles say slowly: "But, I am a school here, and a teacher full of troubles will bring too much instability to the children's safety." the elements of."

Lilith was taken aback, and she looked at Charles in surprise. The professor in front of her seemed to be different from the gentle professor in the legend!Could it be that her former teammate beautified him because she admired him too much?Lilith said full of doubts: "You mean..." Refused?

Charles smiled when he heard this, looked at Lilith sharply, and said, "Now, you should understand what I mean."

"No, I don't think I understand." Lilith squinted her eyes slightly and stared at Charles. Although his words contained rejection, his expression did not seem to be rejecting them.

"Logan!" Bucky said suddenly.

"What?" Charles smiled faintly, looking at Bucky.

Bucky stared at Charles and said, "In this school, the person who has the most trouble, or the teacher, is him."

Charles laughed happily, shook his head slightly, and said, "No, you're wrong, the person who is the most troublesome person in this school is not him, but" he paused, "it's me!"

Bucky pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement and said, "I heard that the government has listed your brain as a weapon of mass destruction."

"That's right!" Charles nodded.

Lilith looked at Charles speechlessly, she finally understood that Charles was really not refusing, he was more like seeking proof, watching his conversation with Bucky, she seemed to realize something, maybe, he wanted to see Bucky Kei's attitude?

Bucky thought for a while and said, "Can you allow me to stay here for three days?"

"Is three days enough?" Charles said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "I think you can think about staying here as a teacher for the children, just like Lilith said, we really need good teachers Come teach the children."

Bucky was silent.

Charles was not in a hurry to get Bucky's answer, he was willing to wait for his answer. During this gap, he turned his gaze to Lilith to the side.

Lilith felt his gaze, raised her eyes to meet his gaze, frowned slightly, and said, "I'm sorry!"

Charles looked at Lilith with an unpredictable expression.

"Sorry, I seem to be too reckless." Lilith sighed, and said with some embarrassment: "Now I understand what you mean!"

"You're a smart girl," Charles said quietly. "Children need teachers who really want to teach them."

"Yes, now I understand, how foolish it is for me to exchange being a teacher for your acceptance, I'm sorry, please forgive me!" Lilith said shamefully.

"I accept your apology, Lilith." Charles said gently, "I heard you mentioned fighting skills, it seems that your fighting skills must be very good?"

"What?" Lilith was taken aback, "Martial arts? Uh, yes."

Hearing Lilith's affirmative answer, Bucky glanced at her strangely and said nothing.

"So it's okay to start class tomorrow?" Charles asked with a smile, noticing Bucky's look.

"Oh, no problem!" Lilith agreed without paying attention to Bucky's eyes, but she was taken aback immediately, "Wait! You agree to let us stay?"

Charles looked at Lilith with a smile and said, "I said, Xavier welcomes you and Bucky, didn't you?"

Lilith looked at Bucky, who twitched the corners of Bucky's mouth slightly, and nodded slightly to her, she laughed, "Ah, so you're willing to take us in from the beginning?"

Charles smiled noncommittally, but did not answer.

Lilith was happy, and she said with a smile: "That's great, thank you!"

"You don't need to be so polite." Charles looked at Lilith with a smile and said, "I think Logan will be very happy to see you appear, and finally someone can replace him to teach the children martial arts. You know, he has always wanted to have a vacation. "

"Logan..." Lilith raised her eyebrows and asked, "You mean Wolverine?"

"Yes, he is also your colleague now." Charles said, "You will get a very warm welcome."

Lilith shrugged and said: "Well, no matter what, as long as I am here, I will definitely teach the children martial arts, I promise!"

"I believe you!" Charles nodded, looked at Bucky who was silent on one side, he smiled at Bucky's gaze, and said, "The only thing I ask of you is that no matter what happens, the safety of the children is number one."

Lilith and Bucky nodded at the same time.
