Batman's Owl Godfather

Chapter 54 The Old Man's Hope

Professor X's awakening this time is different from the past, and his condition is much better.

But this is not something to be happy about. Logan knows in his heart that this state is just the professor's last glimmer of life.

He really doesn't have much time left.

"Yeah!"

Professor X was very happy. He stretched out his hands to both sides and held Logan and Hawkeye tightly.

"We are reunited here again, ahaha, and there are new guests."

Then he raised his head, faced the empty front, and lowered his voice, as if he was talking to a child.

"Good child, have you just come into this world? I see your heart. You are carrying a heavy burden. Don't worry. Although sometimes you will feel lost and disappointed in yourself, it doesn't matter. We are not perfect. You are already great..."

Logan sighed heavily, "The old man is sick again, Clint, help me hold him down while I give him some medicine."

But when he said this, Professor X also heard it.

Professor X, who was already skinny, suddenly summoned strength from nowhere and shook off Logan's hand.

"No! No! Can you be quiet and not disturb me communicating with him!"

Professor X cursed and acted very resistant, "I haven't seen a child like this for a long time. He is not polluted by this world. I want to see him. I am guiding him here!"

"It's not up to you!"

Logan just thought Professor X was talking nonsense.

He worked with Hawkeye, the two white-haired old men, to hold down the hairless Charles.

Logan injected a sedative into Professor X's body.

The professor's spirit suddenly weakened, and he muttered inaudible words.

Logan breathed a sigh of relief.

If it was just an ordinary elderly person suffering from dementia, there would not be any need to go to so much trouble.

But this is Professor X, Charles Xavier, the most powerful brain in the world. If he loses control of his own thoughts, it will have a terrible impact on the people around him.

There have been many similar tragedies in the past fifty years.

Although it was a bit cruel to think this way, if Charles was really going to die, Logan hoped that he would die quietly in his sleep and walk peacefully into that good night.

Don't have an outburst before you die. When you die, take a group of people with you.

"Hank..."

Professor X lowered his head and spoke in a weak voice, "Go to the door to pick him up. He will be here soon. He is hopeful. Our world will be destroyed, but he will remember us."

"I'm not Hank!"

Logan didn't take the professor's words to heart at all.

He first corrected the way Charles addressed him, then softened his expression, patted Professor X's back, and helped him lie down.

"Stop imagining it, no one will come."

Also, although this world is indeed extremely bad, isn't it too ridiculous to talk about its destruction?

When you were young, Charles, you used telepathy to play tricks on people. Now that you are old and confused, you start pretending to be a prophet?
Almost done.

But just when Logan was about to coax Charles to sleep, Hawkeye, who had been silent beside him, suddenly spoke.

"Logan."

Hawkeye listened attentively to the noise outside the door. "Someone is coming. Judging from the footsteps, it's a child."

Logan was suddenly speechless.

Is the old guy not confused this time?

……

"Go forward and turn left at the end."

On Bruce's shoulder, the owl directed him how to go.

"How did you suddenly know the way?" Bruce frowned, "Weren't you just wandering aimlessly just now?"

"You think I want to?" Katum sighed, "There's an old man talking in my head, and I have to know it!"

"Old man?"

"It's Professor X, a former leader. I thought he died a long time ago." Katoum said, "Come to think of it, he should have wanted to talk to you, but your brain was not lifted, and my head was too close to yours, so the call went to me by mistake."

Owl couldn't help but sigh that Professor X was really old and could even make mistakes with the object of his telepathy.

Bruce was a little strange. He was not surprised by telepathy because there were similar methods in the magical world.

But I have just come into this world, why would someone want to find me?
"What did you talk about with the old man?"

"We didn't talk about anything," said Katum. "We just discussed what to do if the child doesn't obey."

"If you don't want to say it, forget it."

Bruce shook his head and continued walking along the path pointed by the owl. When he turned the corner, he saw a dilapidated warehouse.

In front of the warehouse, two old men were waiting there.

……

"Is this the hope the professor was talking about?"

Logan frowned and saw Bruce from a distance. After taking a look, he found that there was nothing special about him except an owl on his shoulder.

Hawkeye seemed very happy.

"It seems that what the professor said was true. He did find a soul that was not tainted by sin."

He stepped forward to greet Bruce.

Bruce only saw a white-haired old man with a ponytail walking towards him with a smile on his face. It was unknown whether he was an enemy or a friend.

The old man was getting closer and closer, and this behavior without a sense of boundaries made him feel very uncomfortable.

The other person was wearing round-frame sunglasses and looked like a blind person when he moved.

Pretending to be blind in order to arouse my sympathy?
Bruce wasn't sure, so he tested Hawkeye by turning sideways and sticking out his leg to trip him.

Sure enough, Hawkeye stopped before he was about to trip.

"Hahaha, you are quite cautious. That's good. If you want to survive in this era, you have to be this cautious!"

Hawkeye bent down, trying his best to be friendly.

"Don't be afraid, we are not bad people!"

Clint raised his hands to show that he meant no harm, “Someone said you were a good kid and directed you here, we believed him, so we believe you too!
"My name is Clint Barton, what's your name?"

Bruce glanced at the owl, his eyes asking if this man could be trusted.

"Don't worry." Katum said, "This old man's strength is limited, he doesn't pose much of a threat."

Bruce felt relieved now.

"My name is Bruce Wayne."

"Good name, good name!"

Hawkeye was a little too enthusiastic. He motioned Bruce to come with him, "Come on, someone wants to see you."

"He seems a little too happy?"

Bruce said as he walked behind Katoom.

"Maybe you gave him hope." Katum said casually.

In fact, if there is anyone in this world who is still full of passion and wants to avenge his deceased companions and change this dark world.

There is only the old Hawkeye.

He never gave up his beliefs, so much so that after losing his eyesight, he even learned from the old Daredevil how to maintain his fighting ability while blind.

It’s a pity that he doesn’t have any superpowers and his strength is limited.

Katoum could guess why Hawkeye was with Wolverine. He was looking for a partner to accomplish something big.

But now Wolverine is no longer a superhero.

As expected, Hawkeye has been rejected many times.

Many people say that what Hawkeye does is meaningless and that the current world is not worth saving.

But now that Bruce has appeared, Hawkeye has the answer.

Isn’t a child with a promising future worth protecting?
In fact, even Hawkeye cannot see through the foggy future, but someone has to support the children's tomorrow.
