Final Raiders Achievement

"Of course I would," Leona said.

Charles was surprised to hear what she said.

"Aren't you going to ask more?" Charles looked puzzled, "I thought you would..."

"There is no need to ask." Leona said firmly, "The telepathy tells me that you are not a bad person. We look a bit alike, so you should indeed be my father. The most important thing is that we are all mutants, and I My adoptive parents are ordinary people, if they know that I am a mutant, their attitude towards me will change, I don’t want to live here.” She said quickly, “I am a self-aware person, I It is very clear that I am not suitable to live in this ordinary family. It is the best choice to leave with you. "

Leona likes to follow simple, straightforward logic.

She thinks the Brant family is not suitable for her life, so she wants to leave.It's good to be with Charles, although Leona can get money and a place to live alone, but she is really curious about "father", and she doesn't mind spending more time with Charles.If one day, she thinks that Charles is no longer suitable for her life, she will leave.

At least for now, Leona really wants to live with Charles.

People always have to try something new, don't they?

Leona is willing to try to do everything she has never done, to experience things she has never felt before.

Charles had thought of many ways to meet before this, but he didn't expect his first meeting with Leona to be like this.

He thought Leona would question, be angry, be surprised...and maybe throw a tantrum or resist his touch when she found out about their relationship.

As a result, Charles and Leona met within less than 10 minutes, and she had decisively agreed to live with him.

Charles was keenly aware that although Leona had agreed straightforwardly on this matter, she herself was not necessarily a negotiable girl.Leona is not a person who is easily fooled, her unique ability makes her have a different thinking mode from ordinary children.She agreed to Charles not entirely out of "blood relationship" or "emotion", but because of other considerations.

But it doesn't matter, Charles often deals with all kinds of children, he thinks he is a patient enough person, after Leona lives with him, he has a lot of time to get along with her, slowly understand her well.

"When are we leaving?" Leona looked excited. "Where is your home? Will I have my own room?"

"Our home is in West Chester. Of course you have your own room, and you can furnish it in any style you want." Charles said, "As for when to leave, I want to hear your thoughts, you Don't you want to say goodbye to Mr. Brant? I heard that you have other brothers and sisters in this family..."

Charles observed Leona's expression.

However, there was no trace of reluctance on her face.

"It doesn't matter whether we say goodbye or not." Leona said indifferently.

"Did they treat you badly?" Charles asked.

"You can read their minds to see how nice they are to me," Leona said. "They're nice to me."

Charles will not restrain his mutant ability when necessary.In order to learn more about Leona, he did a limited mind reading of the Brant couple.

Charles said, "You use your psychic abilities a lot?"

"Yes." Leona nodded.

Charles' educational philosophy is to let mutants learn to control their own abilities and not use them on others at will, but Leona herself does not have such a concept.Charles decides to put Leona's education for later, as now is not a good time to be educating a child.

"Don't you like your adoptive parents?" Charles asked again.

"Neither like nor dislike, I have no special feeling for them." Leona said.

"What about your siblings?" Charles said. "Do you like them?"

"It's the same, I don't like it and I don't hate it." Leona said, "Of course, I am very grateful to 'Dad' and 'Mum' for raising me, and I am also very grateful to my brothers and sisters for accompanying me, that's all."

Essentially, Leona was a stranger to them, and she didn't want to pretend they were a happy family.The former "Leona" was a withdrawn and indifferent child who lived in her own world and refused to get along with others.Theoretically speaking, the former "Leona" is the same person as the current Leona. Before the old universe was restarted, she actually lived in Brant's house in her childhood.Given Leona's memory loss, she doesn't know why she was that way in childhood.

Is the current her the changed "her"?

"When are we leaving?" Leona repeated the question.

Charles thought about it and said, "Is it okay tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? Today is already very late. Tomorrow, I will discuss your household registration with the Brant couple. We have a lot of procedures to go through."

"Okay." Leona was satisfied.

Charles said: "You can ask me any question, as long as I know, I will answer you."

"Who is my mother?" Leona said. "How was I born?"

"That was a long time ago. Your mother and I met in Israel..." Charles talked about the past.

Young love is mostly fruitless, as is the case with Charles and his former lovers, they break up, Leona's mother fails to tell Charles she is pregnant, and Leona is born.

Leona asked again: "How did you find me?"

"I can detect the brain waves of any mutant in the world, so it is a natural thing to discover you. Your psychic ability is so powerful, as bright as a torch." Charles said, "After knowing your existence, I I started to investigate you, but the results of the investigation surprised everyone. Your genetic data was recorded in the orphanage before, and I extracted your data to compare with mine," he smiled, "even my I didn’t even know it, but I actually became a father.”

"Do I have any other relatives?" Leona continued to ask, "Mother and biological brothers and sisters, grandparents, grandparents, etc..."

"I'm sorry Lena, the people you mentioned, they all passed away." Charles smiled wryly, "I still have some relatives who don't move around often. As for your mother, I didn't investigate these things carefully..." He paused, "If you want to know, I can send someone to look it up."

"No, I'm just asking," Leona said, "It doesn't matter if you have relatives or not."

"Get some rest today, Lena," Charles said. "I need to talk to your adoptive parents... good night."

He leaves the bedroom.

The circumstances of this meeting were not at all what Charles had imagined.

Why is Leona so lacking in affection for her foster family?Is it because of her childhood experience of loneliness and helplessness?Or is it because she's a different mutant that she has a crush on the Brants?

His intuition told Charles that what happened to Leona was not as simple as he imagined.

……

Two days later, Charles came to pick Leona from Brant's house.

She jumped onto the ultra-luxury sports car, looked curiously at the man acting as the driver and asked, "Who are you? Red sunglasses are cool!"

"Scott Summers, you can call me Scott or Cyclops." He smiled and nodded to Leona.

Charles and Leona sat side by side in the back seat.

He said, "No luggage?"

Leona asked back, "Will you buy me new clothes?"

"Yes." Charles laughed.

Leona waved to the Brant couple outside the car, "Thank you, goodbye!"

"You don't have to say thank you to us." The corners of Mrs. Brant's eyes were red.

"You can come back anytime," said Mr. Brant. "Your brothers and sisters don't know you're leaving..."

"There will be a chance to meet, I'm in West Chester." Leona said.

Her words made the Brants heave a sigh of relief, and the two of them squeezed out a smile, "I hope you can be happy like this forever, Lena."

The car gradually drove away.

Leona looked at the Brant couple standing by the side of the street through the rearview mirror.

"They seem to love me," she said to herself.

"They do love you very much." Charles said softly, "Maybe they can't take care of you in every way, but they have always cared about you."

"If they knew I was a mutant, they wouldn't care about me so much. They all hate mutants very much." Leona said leaning on the soft seat.

"That's because ordinary people don't understand mutants. The Brants don't do that. They treat you as their own child." Charles emphasized his tone.

Don't put yourself in opposition to ordinary human beings - that's what Charles really wants to say.

Leona was still young, and he thought she might not understand what this sentence meant, so he didn't say it.

But Leona is not a person who is easy to fool, she also has telepathy and can see other people's thoughts clearly.Maybe Charles' intention was to appease Leona, he didn't want her to draw a line with ordinary humans just because she was a mutant, but the fact is that ordinary humans would take the initiative to draw a line with mutants.

Scott eased the atmosphere in a timely manner: "It takes a long time to drive to West Chester, do you want to listen to music?"

"Yes!" Leona was immediately distracted.

"I remember a box of nuts and maybe chocolate in the back," Scott said.

Leona took out the nut box and ate nuts while listening to the song.

It's November now, and the weather has turned cooler. The sun doesn't make people feel hot, but only makes people feel warm.

She doesn't hate this feeling of freedom and tranquility.

The scenes on both sides were constantly receding, people were passing by on the sidewalk, and Leona was watching the shops on the street with great interest.

After a long drive, Leona fell asleep in the backseat and woke up to find that they had reached West Chester.

Scott parked the car in front of the huge manor.

"It's really rich." Leona muttered.

Scott gets out of the car to get the wheelchair in the trunk, so Leona uses superpowers to levitate Charles and put him firmly in the wheelchair.

Charles nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Lena."

"You're welcome." Leona pushed Charles' wheelchair into the manor.

The main building of this huge estate is medieval, like a castle.

All kinds of plants in the garden have been finely trimmed, and on the other side of the grass is a wide court.

"This is my school, and all mutants live here," Charles said. "It's class time, and you won't see a few students. But you can meet other people."

"Who is it?" Leona looked around.

Charles pointed to the gate of the building: "Here he is."

At that moment, Leona once again sensed a familiar brain wave.

The master of that brainwave is...

"Magneto?" Leona blinked.

"It seems that you are much more famous than me, Eric, Lena recognized you at a glance." Charles smiled.

Confusion appeared in Liona's eyes, "Eric?"

Not Max Eisenhart?

"Know me from TV?" Eric squatted down and looked at Liona at the same level, "It seems that I have to clarify to you that half of the reports on TV are exaggerated, and I'm not that scary. He smiled slightly. "Nice to meet you, Lena."

Leona stared at the familiar face of Magneto, and couldn't help but feel extremely inconsistent.

Eric took out a small black box and put it in Leona's hand.

"I have a present for you, which I found many years ago at the seaside," he said, "I think you will like it."

Leona opened the box and saw an orange-yellow amber inside. A light brown butterfly was sealed in the amber, spreading its wings.

"I like it so much!" Leona said happily, "Thank you, Uncle Eric!"

She was very happy to receive the gift, and even looked at Magneto's face and felt that it was much more pleasing to the eye.

Leona played with the butterfly amber fondly for a while, and suddenly remembered something.

She turned to look at Charles, "Did you forget to give me a gift?"

The author has something to say: Professor: The child didn't call me daddy, but called you uncle directly. Why? ? ?Jealousy makes me unrecognizable.jpg

Lao Wan: Because I have experience as a father and know how to please little girls, but you have no experience :)
