I'm a hero in Marvel

Chapter 4 Jean Grey

Thank you very much for everything you have done so far, Congressman Macaulay. I will take care of the rest of the matter and do my best to fulfill your wishes.

Katie has been in a bad mood recently. This is all due to the previous incident of Deacon attacking Li Jie, which made her feel deeply guilty, especially towards Li Jie.

At that time, Li Jie came to visit her specially and brought gifts from the East. However, such a thing happened in school, which made Katie very distressed. Since joining Xavier School for Gifted People, the atmosphere here makes her feel that her classmates and teachers are as close as a family.

This is also the atmosphere that Professor Charles has been working hard to create. He hopes to build a warm place that students can regard as home.

Influenced by this atmosphere, Katie regarded the entire mutant school as a big family, where everyone supported each other like family members. However, a member of this "family" actually tried to kill her best friend Li Jie, which made her feel as sad as if she had hurt Li Jie herself. Although Li Jie repeatedly told her that it was not a big deal, Katie still felt guilty and hoped to do something for Li Jie.

Katie, who usually gets along well with everyone and always has a smile on her face, unexpectedly begins to hate one person for the first time, that is Deaken, who tried to kill Li Jie but ultimately failed.

Daken wanted to deal with murder, but his punishment was just two days of confinement! In Katie's opinion, this was undoubtedly a huge injustice. She couldn't help but wonder if it was because Daken's father was Wolverine that the professor protected him in this matter?

As a result, Katie even hated Wolverine. Now, if she met Wolverine in the corridor, she would choose to pretend not to see him unless it was necessary.

Logan could probably guess that Katie acted like this because what Deken did was too outrageous.

As for Daken himself, Katie has now completely pretended that this person does not exist in the world. She has crossed out Daken's name from the list of mutant families in her mind and no longer recognizes that he belongs to this school or this family.

Katie did not go back to her home in New York on weekends. The reason was that her parents were both office workers with irregular working hours, and sometimes they had to work on weekends. So when both her parents were at work, she usually would not go home.

In addition, due to her parents' limited income, Katie was very frugal in her living expenses. She had no extra money to spend on taking a bus to the movies or going to the mall to buy clothes.

Katie is very talented in the field of art, whether it is dancing or painting, she is good at it. However, no matter which country or which era, art requires a lot of financial investment.

Katie's parents couldn't afford ballet lessons or expensive art classes, so for a long time, these talents were just ways for Katie to entertain herself.

Due to the lack of professional guidance, she could only teach herself painting, but without the guidance of professional teachers, her progress was always slow, even though she had talent in this area.

But after entering the mutant school, some of the teachers here had some knowledge of painting, such as Jean Grey, who received a long period of professional painting training during her teenage years.

Jean Grey can give Katie some guidance from basic sketching to color application, which makes Katie's life in her spare time colorful. On sunny afternoons, she can carry her homemade easel and go to the school lawn or the pond to paint quietly. Whether it is still life sketching or trying watercolor coloring, she can devote herself to it until sunset.

Katie thought, maybe she could become a painter in the future? Even if she couldn't become a painter, it would be nice to work as a painter in Li Jie's company. She could participate in creating works that tell the stories of mutants and let more people know about this group.

With this simple and pure belief, Katie was particularly attentive in learning painting.

When Deacon returned to school from New York, it was afternoon. Katie was sitting in the courtyard of the campus painting, the golden sunlight shining on her body, giving her a halo.

The sunlight penetrated the air, illuminating the delicate and soft hair on the girl's ears - a feature common to every young girl. Her slightly upturned mouth, plump lips, long and delicate eyelashes interlaced between her drooping eyelids, and her seemingly casually coiled golden hair made her look like the goddess of love, Aphrodite.

Daken was holding the gifts he brought back from New York. He did not lie to Logan and was indeed going to New York to buy some items.

He brought back paints and brushes from the art supply store, a brand new set of painting tools, and spent all the $150 that Logan gave him, plus the $50 in pocket money he had saved, for a total of $200.

This new set of painting tools is far superior to Katie's current old, bald paintbrushes and homemade easel.

Daken wanted to use this to ease the relationship between him and Katie, but he had no idea how outrageous his behavior was last time, and even less did he know how much Katie hated him. When he walked towards Katie for the first time in his life and was about to speak, it was not Katie's smile that greeted him.

There was a "pop" sound. It was the sound of Katie putting away the easel. She didn't even care that the paint on the canvas hadn't dried yet, and she closed the easel in a hurry. She didn't seem to care whether the painting would be ruined, because the person she didn't want to see the most at the moment was the person she hated.

"Hello, Katie, I recognize you, my name is Deacon. I came here to apologize to you for what happened last time." Deacon watched Katie busy packing up to leave. He could see that Katie obviously didn't want to face this person.

"You are Daken, right?" Katie responded to Daken with a fake smile, not even pretending to be friendly. "You should not apologize to me, you should apologize to the person you want to hurt. And I'm leaving now, don't stand in my way!" Katie pushed Daken away, not intending to continue talking to him.

Daken quickly followed and said, "I really want to apologize to you. Look, I bought you new painting tools in New York."

He showed the new painting tools in his hand to Katie. "I know you like painting. The tools you used before are very old, so I bought this new set. I sincerely apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness. Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Katie walked very fast, just wanting to get back to the dormitory as soon as possible to avoid this annoying guy. After hearing what Daken said, she stopped and gently patted the painting tools that Daken handed over. "No need, Daken, as long as you don't appear in front of me again, I won't be angry with you anymore!" Then, Katie used her superpowers to pass through the obstacles and left Daken.

All of this was seen by Logan from a distance, and he said to himself, "This silly boy." Despite what he said, Logan still decided to comfort Daken. After all, this was his son's first time to fall in love, and also his first time to break up, so he must be feeling bad.

"Young man, you have to know that men will always experience a few heartbreaks. Not every woman will like you." As Daken was walking back dejectedly, Logan came out from the aisle next to him and talked to him.

Logan looked like he was trying to enlighten him, but Daken said in surprise: "Dad! Why are you here? You saw everything!"

Logan waved his hand, telling Daken not to take it too seriously, "Hey, every man will encounter this situation. Either you reject others or you are rejected. As long as..." However, when he approached Daken and wanted to pat him on the shoulder to have a deeper conversation, he noticed something unusual.

"Boy, where does the smell of blood come from?" Logan smelled a very faint, almost negligible smell of blood on Daken, but this smell did not belong to Daken, but the smell of a stranger's blood.

Daken was stunned by the fact that Logan saw through him immediately. He himself had a strong sense of smell and had repeatedly confirmed that there should be no smell of blood on his body.

However, compared to the old wolf, the young wolf cub lacks not only physical fitness, but also the experience and wisdom of the old wolf. In this regard, he is still far from enough.

"Show me your hand! Quick!" Logan's tone was extremely serious. This was the first time he showed such strong anger towards Daken. His veins were already bulging.

Daken stretched out his claws, and Logan immediately smelled a stronger smell of blood, and an ominous association flashed through his mind - Daken killed someone!

Once you kill the first one, it won't be that difficult to kill the second one.

As Charles was typing out the course schedule for the next semester in his office, Logan burst into the room with Daken without knocking. He threw Daken roughly into a separate seat before closing the door.

"Logan, I've told you many times that you are a teacher now and you can't behave so rudely!" Charles accused dissatisfiedly.

"But Charles, this kid just killed someone!" Logan pointed at Daken who was sitting in his seat with a confused look on his face, which surprised Charles.

"Daken, tell me who you killed and if there was anyone else with you. You must tell the truth now! Now!" Logan bent down and looked at Daken in the seat anxiously.

However, Daken was unwilling to answer and kept his mouth tightly shut. Logan wanted to hit him several times, but he finally held back.

"Charles, keep an eye on him for me! I'm sure he must have accomplices! He doesn't know anyone in New York!" As he said that, Logan rushed out like crazy, sniffing around every student.

"Really? Deacon? You killed someone? Did you kill him on your own initiative?" Charles looked at Deacon and deliberately emphasized the word "on your own initiative".

"You know we can't just kill people at will. We don't have the right to take other people's lives."

Daken turned his head to the side and said in a low but firm voice: "I am doing this for the future of mutants!"

Charles' pupils contracted. He had heard this slogan from someone countless times.

When Logan found Paul, who also had that smell, and brought him to Charles' office again like a dead dog, ready to use violence to force the truth out of him, Cyclops Scott rushed in.

He still didn't know what was going on here, but that didn't stop him from telling the professor about the big thing that was about to happen. "Professor, turn on the TV. Something big is happening."
