Chapter 24 Cappuccino in Candlelight

Howlett's legendary experience was as exciting as the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Angela and Lorna felt that they would never forget this day in their lives, which was a visually and spiritually impactful day.They listened to Howlett's story with rapt attention, sometimes clapping their hands and sometimes sighing.Angela discovered that there was nothing whitewashing or boasting about Howlett's narrative. His magnificent life was as complex but real as himself.No wonder he served as a history teacher in the original x college.

Perhaps a rich historical story, without the need for deliberate dressing up, is enough to be worthy of people's admiration.

Against the background of Howlett's long life, a day seems so short.Unknowingly, Jade Rabbit Dongsheng, Angela invited him to stay in the store tonight, and the slightly drunk Howlett readily agreed.

Lorna squeezed into the same bed with Angela again. She pressed her head against the back of Angela's head, breathing unevenly, as if she was thinking about something.

"The dark future has been reversed, Lorna. I believe our future is bright." Angela heard Lorna's rising and falling heartbeat and knew that her heart was not at peace at the moment.

"I'm not worried about those things. I'm very happy that my father has not become the person who is obsessed with his own evil thoughts. What I am thinking about is you." Lorna's hand climbed up Angela's belly, "Professor The Bureau's report mentioned that the Phoenix Force itself is floating everywhere in the universe. It is the source of all life and can promote life to grow in any direction, including evil directions. On September 1992, 9, Qin Gray worked hard to save The astronauts and the Death to Magneto and the other X-Men"

"Haha, little Polaris, are you afraid that I will turn black like her?" Angela turned over and stared at the person next to the pillow in the darkness.

"Ah, what am I thinking? You are so kind, how can you be affected by evil thoughts? According to SHIELD's data, the super soldier serum can also amplify the goodwill and malice in people's hearts, and Captain America's good thoughts far outweigh it. The evil in human nature, Angela, you must be just like Captain America." Lorna vaguely saw the smile on the corner of Angela's mouth and stopped her pessimistic speculation.

"I am far from being as great as Captain America, and I am far from as good as you think. You have to be careful around me, otherwise you will suffer a loss if you are not careful."

"Ha, I want to see who suffers."

"Listen to me, Lorna," Angela held Lorna's restless little hand, "I am not born good like Captain America. I have walked in the darkness and embraced the light. I have not fallen. I have not fallen. Because I have never been tempted by evil, and I am not good to others because the people around me are kind and want to be gregarious. I have experienced a lot of anger and sorrow, struggle and reflection, and finally freely chose to be a good person. I will face the situation When the time comes to make a decision, make the right choice again.”

"So that's it." Lorna saw that she couldn't screw Angela, so she stopped wasting her efforts. "According to Professor Protect yourself and protect everyone. Angela, what I didn’t expect is that you also have a dark side."

"Of course, humans are part of the universe. There is darkness that cannot be dispelled in the universe, and there is also darkness in people's hearts. I am no exception, and no one is exception."

"The Joker says it only takes one bad day to destroy a man."

"He discovered the dark side in everyone's heart. Oh, I remembered, you said that this criminal mind master was your favorite character."

"Angela, how did you survive those days? I had Aunt Dane taking care of me, and you were all alone."

"How do you get over your emotional block, Lorna?"

"Just like you taught me, I correctly understood myself and the world, and solved many conflicts in my heart. Later, I also tried to be friends with my emotions. When it was happy, I shared it with it. When it was in trouble, I helped cheer it up."

"I, like you, understand the world without partiality, do not stubbornly deceive myself, and carefully maintain myself, so that I can make friends with the darkness in my heart. It reminds me to avoid many social traps and see through them. Many people have ulterior motives; I have not been led by it, and I will not maliciously speculate on all aspects of others."

"Is it true to be friends with darkness?"

"Of course, there are still people who can tame the darkness and draw strength from it."

"Who?"

"Isn't that what Batman is?"

"Just laugh at me. You really think I can't tell the difference between comics and reality, Angela. Angela, I have never gone to the cinema with you to watch a movie."

"By the way, tomorrow is the weekend. Let's take some time to watch The Dark Knight. The Internet says this is the best superhero movie."

"You don't know how long I've been waiting for your words." Lorna hugged Angela excitedly.

"On the day I graduated from high school, my Chinese and Chemistry teachers gave me two sentences respectively: "Let's be a good person and keep ourselves." These two sentences are my unchanging beliefs in this life. Lorna, I now pass them on to You, I hope you can understand them better and understand me better.”

"You are what I believe in, Angela. I listen to you."

"Did you forget to brush your teeth at night? Why are you so sweet? Go to bed." Angela patted Lorna's face.

"Angela, I have another question. If it's not answered, I won't be able to sleep well tonight. Can you also predict the future through the power of the Phoenix?"

"Yes, Lorna, I have some fragments of the future in my mind." Angela closed her eyes and thought for a while, then decided to tell the truth.

"Can you tell me what the future looks like?"

"The future is very bright. The sacrifices of several great heroes have brought peace to the world. But the Phoenix Power in my body seems not to be satisfied with this. It constantly reminds me to change this future for the better."

"Who sacrificed was you?"

"You admire me so much, Lorna. The prophecy given to me by the Phoenix Force has nothing to do with me. So we still have to write the future ourselves."

"Then do you see me in the future?"

"I have met you who have nothing to do with me. Are you interested in knowing?"

"It has nothing to do with you, is it still me? Don't tell me, I don't admit that it's me." Lorna shuddered, shook her head and turned over.

"Haha" Angela's hand climbed up to Lorna's belly, "Since the Phoenix Power awakened in my body, I never dreamed that one day you would come to me. Lorna, you are the most ambitious than me My dream is even better. I don’t know what the Phoenix Force wants me to do in the future, but I think you and I in that future will be together."

"Angela, you just didn't brush your teeth."

The next day, Howlett ate his breakfast carelessly and unobtrusively.

"Logan, what are your plans next?" Angela handed a full glass of milk to Howlett across the table.

"Then you have to tell me, Qin just asked me to come to you, what are your plans?" Howlett lit a cigar.

"I have no plans for this peaceful age. How about you train me and Lorna's strength?" Angela grinned in disbelief as she watched Howlett smoke a cigar with milk.

"$100 an hour." Howlett quoted a price regardless of emotion.

"Do you think I am someone who can afford to support two mutants, Mr. Howlett?" Angela shrugged helplessly, "Lorna, with the money you just earned?"

"Don't even think about it, Angela, this money must buy you a car. Also, can you put out the cigarette, Uncle Logan?"

Howlett was indifferent at first, but after hearing the word "uncle", he slowed down his movements and finally put out the cigarette butt.

"Uncle Logan, you are so kind. You will help us for free, right?" Lorna stood up, crossed her upper body across the dining table, and begged Howlett.

"Stay there." Howlett read the newspaper intently without even looking at Lorna.

"Hahaha, Lorna, you have to pretend to be sweet with your metallic voice. It's a disaster." Angela laughed regardless of her image.

"Humph" Lorna ignored Angela and changed her strategy, "Uncle Logan, you know that your whole body is made of metal, and my ability happens to be to manipulate metal, right?"

"You might as well give it a try, little girl," Howlett said, playing a crossword puzzle from the newspaper. "Even your dad can't break my bones."

Lorna pouted, raised her hands wrapped in green light, and then opened her eyes wider than ever before.

Angela saw Howlett who was motionless and realized that Lorna had encountered a big setback.She pushed Lorna back into the chair and stuffed another piece of bread into her mouth.

"Logan, I don't know why Qin asked you to come to me. What was your original plan to continue to track down your brother?"

"Not for the time being. According to what he told me when I played against him last time, the Hellfire Club will not make any big moves for a long time. To be honest, I can't understand why they would come to you at this time. And then I let you go."

"Do they know the source of my power?"

"Absolutely impossible. I am the only one in the world who knows Qin's secret arrangements."

"Oh, by the way, speaking of your brother, I almost forgot. In fact, I have heard your story before." Angela crossed her fingers, snatched the ballpoint pen from Howlett's hand, and wrote something on the paper.

"Do you know what the organization that secretly carried out revolutionary activities was called during the Chinese democratic revolution?" Howlett still focused on the crossword puzzle.

"Underground party." Angela let the piece of paper fly to the newspaper, blocking Howlett's view.

"What is this and who is this person?"

"Logan, you have experienced so many wars. I guess your biggest wish is to have a stable and safe life."

Howlett held the piece of paper in his hand, raised his head and looked at Angela with squinted eyes, without admitting or denying.

"He is the original owner of this store. Go to this address to find him, and he will become your friend, and you will live the life you want with him and his family." Angela continued to explain.

"Los Angeles is too damn far away. I went through all the trouble to find you, and you just chased me away."

"You just happened to meet me, Logan. And I think that letting you live a stable life is the task that Qin has given me. Besides, do you still want to live here forever? Lorna has bones all over her body. It’s not comfortable to hold at all.”

"Uncle Logan, your ideal is to integrate into this society comfortably and ignore the grievances between mutants." Lorna ignored Angela's complaints and asked Howlett expectantly.

"Looking at it now, it's almost like this." Howlett leaned back on his chair, thought for a long time, and gave a positive answer.

"This is consistent with my ideals. Uncle Logan, please join my organization. How about we help fellow mutants who live a low-key life?"

"Who is in your organization?"

"Angela, will you join?"

"No, Lorna, you also know that I was not born a mutant."

"It's up to you. It doesn't make any difference whether you join or not. Uncle Logan, although it's just you and me now, I believe we will definitely grow stronger."

Howlett grinned in disbelief, then shook his head at the ceiling and sighed.

"Okay, I'll just play house with you. Who makes you my niece?"

"Who is your niece? I am your leader now." Lorna said seriously with her hands on her waist. "You have to listen to my instructions. When you meet mutants who share our ideas, try to help them. If you have difficulties, let them come. Find me and Angela in New York.”

"Okay, okay, okay," Howlett took the last sip of milk and put the note into his jeans pocket, "What's the name of our organization?"

"Uh" Lorna choked for a moment, "Angela, I thought I heard you say a very cool word just now, what was it called?"

"Underground party."

"It's decided, our organization will be called the Mutant Underground Party." Lorna leaned forward and extended her hand to Howlett, "I am Polaris, and we will be comrades from now on, Wolverine."

Howlett glanced at Lorna impatiently and stood up to leave.

"Pa" Lorna used her ability to turn Howlett's body around when he wasn't paying attention, and placed his right hand against hers.

Howlett smiled helplessly and held Lorna's hand.

"Gu~" Ikaros fluttered onto the palms of the two people's hands.

"Angela, it's getting late, let's go out and watch a movie." After seeing off Howlett, the two spent nearly a day dealing with trivial matters this week.

"Wait a minute, Lorna, a guest is here." Icarus, flying outside, caught a familiar figure.

"Melinda" As soon as the guest entered the door, Lorna rushed up to welcome her with a warm hug.

"Lorna" May hugged Lorna and nodded to Angela, "Ms. Ziegler"

"Please call me Angela, Agent May." Angela smiled and nodded in response.

"Melinda, I guess you are not here to buy gifts. Do you have any new tasks?" Lorna enthusiastically pulled May inside.

"Lorna, I will not participate in field missions anymore." Mei's steps were a little slow.

"what"

"I applied to be transferred to the administrative department, and Hill has approved it."

"Melinda, why?" Lorna was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a moment, and finally had to make a simple inquiry.

"You saw me that day, Lorna. I actually took out a gun and pointed it at a little girl. I discovered that there was a dark and twisted side in my heart. I was afraid that if I continued on the field mission, I would not be able to control it." Mei. Angela did not shy away and directly stated her reasons.

"Angela, didn't you tell me last night how you made friends with the darkness in your heart? Tell Melinda about it?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Angela, Lorna." Mei stopped Angela from taking a step forward with a gesture, "My husband is a psychiatrist, I have heard enough of those words, I am already annoyed. I'm separated from him. Don't worry, Lorna, there is no problem with my relationship or marriage with him, I just need some time to quiet down."

"But" Lorna was speechless and turned her head to look at Angela.

"Lorna, don't you think that a person as good as Agent Xiang Mei doesn't know what is the best choice for him?"

"Thank you." Mei nodded to Angela, then held Lorna's shoulders, and said to her solemnly: "I came here mainly to express my gratitude to you. Thank you, Lorna. If you were not there that day, I would I can’t even imagine what will happen to me next. Why are you crying? Don’t think I’m here to say goodbye to you. Trust me, I’ll recover soon.”

"Melinda, I believe you." Lorna wiped the corners of her eyes with her index finger, "But I still have something to tell you about the Joker. It only takes one bad day to make a normal person become as crazy as him. The Joker is my favorite comic book character, so I know him very well. I know that he has the second half of a sentence that is unspoken. A bad day can also turn someone into Batman. You are the Dark Knight who protects S.H.I.E.L.D. No matter how many hardships you go through, Melinda, you will definitely come back.”

"Then I'll ask you to protect them while I'm away." The smile on Mei's face was very warm, and she felt that she wouldn't be able to take as long as she expected.

"By the way, there's one more thing." Mei's expression turned grim again. She walked towards Angela, hesitated for a second and then said to her: "I definitely shouldn't say what happened next, but for the sake of you and Lorna Regarding your relationship, I still want to remind you. Fury seems to have discovered something abnormal about your life experience. Your files in the orphanage and those in the CIA are completely inconsistent."

"sorry"

"Because CIA doesn't have your file at all. If Fury does anything extraordinary to you next, please don't be afraid."

"Agent May, do you trust Fury?"

"One hundred percent trust."

"Then I trust him as much as you do."
