Laura's Beautiful Journey

A quiet and leisurely afternoon at Crawford Manor.

On two deck chairs in the courtyard, the Maximov brother and his sister were sleeping soundly. Wanda seemed to have dreamed of something bad again, and she still frowned slightly even in her sleep. As for Pietro, who had a big heart, he was snoring loudly and drool was dripping from the corners of his mouth.

At a window on the second floor of the European-style villa, Laura and Katie were hugging each other and talking while observing the two people in the courtyard.

"You mean they are also mutants? And they are most likely Eric's descendants?!"

Katie's eyes widened in disbelief. Eric Lensherr was the pseudonym used by Magneto.

Before officially joining the X-Men, as a student, she simply believed that Magneto represented the evil side of mutants. After joining the X-Men, after many overt and covert confrontations between the two sides, Katie quickly figured out that Professor Charles and Magneto only had conceptual differences, and that the two were actually close friends.

If anything, Magneto and his forces represent the radical faction among mutants, advocating that all means can be used to fight for social status and rights for mutants.

Professor Charles and Xavier Academy for Geniuses are moderates among mutants. They advocate using positive and positive methods to change human society's stereotypes of mutants, and also strive for legal and reasonable rights for mutants.

So as what she once thought was a mortal enemy and now a real rival, Katie is quite interested in Magneto's descendants.

Seeing her curious baby look, Laura couldn't help but kiss her again, and then slowly told her all the clues and information she had found so far.

"It turned out to be the X Weapon Project... Professor Charles once mentioned this military secret experimental plan to us, and it seems to be inextricably linked to Logan."

Katie frowned. In her opinion, this so-called mutant research institution was an absolutely disgusting existence.

"While you were recovering from your sleep, Ororo called me, and I told her that your phantom armor brought you out of danger at the last moment and came to my side.

She can be said to be very busy right now. Professor Charles and many students have mysteriously disappeared and their whereabouts are still unknown. Scott had serious differences with her again, and now the academy had to be divided into two factions. "

Listening to Laura’s story, Katie let out a long sigh, and then spoke after a long while:

"In fact, the difference in concepts between the two teachers, Ororo and Scott, has been evident very early. Ororo's views are closer to Professor Charles, while Scott's is more radical.

In the many X-Men operations I've been involved in, if they were the two leading the team instead of the Professor, they would always argue about the course of action. The result of this is that something always goes wrong every time such an action is taken. "

Laura could tell Katie was unhappy about this. Thinking about it, as a member of the team who is already one of the best in overall strength, if something goes wrong during the operation, she will definitely have to help solve it. It's okay if it's just once or twice, but as time goes on and the frequency increases, it will always become annoying.

"Actually, now that I look back and think about it carefully, the academy is usually divided into two factions: radical and conservative. From time to time there will be some vicious competition, which makes people speechless."

Now that she was so far away from the academy and surrounded by her lover who knew her thoughts, Katie didn't have so many worries when speaking.

"Actually, whether it is Magneto or Professor Charles, I am not optimistic about their plans and plans."

Laura's words attracted Katie's attention. The latter was obviously curious about what was going on, so she continued to explain.

"Magneto wants mutants to have power, and Charles wants mutants to have status. In my opinion, their demands are basically the same, which is to win legal, reasonable, and relatively equal rights for the mutant race. "

Katie nodded in agreement with Laura's summary words, and also thought of some bad developments. As expected, Laura's next words verified her guess:

"However, have you ever thought about it, this is actually very much like the mutant version of the civil rights movement that has been debated in the United States and even the Western world but has never reached a conclusion."

This sentence can be said to wake up the dreamer, and Katie was greatly moved by it. It's not that she doesn't understand the civil rights movement, it's that she understands it so well that she feels a little despair about the future of mutants for a moment.

In the United States, black people were the most representative of the civil rights movement, lasted the longest, had the greatest influence, and were officially recognized and achieved the most fruitful results.

But actually? Discrimination is still ubiquitous in daily life, and there are even absurd incidents of black U.S. military officers who have served for many years being stopped in the street and brutally enforced by white police officers after returning to their home countries from overseas bases.

"Is there really nothing we can do?"

In her excitement, Katie's voice was trembling a little, and her hands holding Laura unconsciously used strength.

Seeing Katie like this, Laura quickly hugged her and comforted her in a low voice. In fact, she still hadn't said anything. That is, mutants are different from ordinary blacks or Asians. The various superpowers that their race may have after the awakening of the X gene have always been coveted by all forces, so their lives will only be worse than those of blacks and Asians. People are more difficult.

"It's not impossible. For example, immigrating to space is a good choice."

Laura came up with an idea and started explaining its feasibility to Katie.

In ancient times, the two "perfect" races created by the Celestial Group's genetic experiments on the earth-the Eternals (Eternals) and the Abnormals (Mutants) eventually lost to ordinary humans in the course of history.

The mutants chose to integrate into human society, while the Eternals relied on advanced technology to relocate to Titan. If it hadn't been for the emergence of Thanos, the madman, the Eternals might have been able to continue to develop into the future.

Coincidentally, the Inhumans, the experimental products abandoned by the Kree, were also split into two after being defeated by ordinary humans. The alien royal family took most of their tribe to the moon using the Kree Empire's technological warships and established the alien city of Attilan. Some of the elders who remained on earth hid in the "afterlife".

In Laura's view, most mutants have no sense of belonging to their homeland because they have been displaced since childhood. So why do we need to compete with the destiny race for status on this third acre of earth? Using technology to immigrate to space can be said to be a pretty good choice.
