New York, Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.

A black car drove into Xavier along the boulevard, and then slowly stopped on the circular driveway in front of Xavier's main building.

After the car listened, Rebecca was the first to push open the passenger door and get out of the car. As she got out of the car, the rest of the car's doors were opened one by one.

After getting out of the back seat with Chen Xi in her arms, Lorna looked up at the gray-white stone building in front of her, pondered for a while, and said, "So, this is Xavier."

"That's right!" Peter said with a smile on the roof of the car.

Rebecca nodded, turned around and took out her coat from the car, and put it on, "Well, is it the same as you imagined?"

Lorna shook her head and said, "It's very different, or rather, I can't imagine that this seemingly ordinary manor is Xavier."

Rebecca walked up to her approvingly, shrugged, and said, "I also thought it was amazing when I came here for the first time. It really doesn't look like the base camp of the X-Men, does it?"

Lorna hummed and focused on the building in front of her.

Here, Rick, who got out of the same car door with Peter, took one more look at Peter, and said to Hans in the driver's cab, "Please, please open the trunk lid."

Hans nodded and pressed the button. He sat in the car and watched Peter and Rick walk to the back of the car. After thinking about it, he pushed the door and got out of the car. He said to Rebecca who was talking to Lorna, "Then , the luggage you left at home, I will send it to you later."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Hans!" Rebecca turned her head and smiled sweetly at Hans, "Oh, by the way, please help me calm my irritable mother!"

"She's not cranky, Rebecca!" Hans said sternly, "She just thinks you shouldn't refuse the medical examination."

"Tony Stark's so-called physical examination is not fun at all, and I don't think it will help me at all!" Rebecca shrugged, "Forget it, I'll go home after I'm done! It seems that I can only explain myself."

Hans showed "you're right to think so" in his eyes, and turned to look behind the car. Peter and Rick were taking out large and small bags from the trunk of the car, including a rattan cradle in one hand.

"We moved everything out!" Peter said to Hans.

Hans nodded, watched as Rick closed the trunk, and said to Rebecca, "Then, I'll go first!"

Rebecca nodded, smiled and waved to Hans, and said, "Then I'll wait for you to send me clothes!"

Hans promised to get back in the car, and quickly drove away from Xavier.

After watching Hans leave, Rebecca turned to Lorna and said, "Okay, let's go in! I think the professor probably already knows you're here!"

Lorna said incredulously, "Oh, really?"

At this moment, Xavier's door suddenly opened automatically.

Charles, who was in a wheelchair, appeared inside the door. He looked at the people outside the door with a smile and said, "You are back!" His eyes fell on Lorna, "Welcome, Lorna."

Lorna hugged Chen Xi, looked at this young man in a wheelchair, and looked at Rebecca suspiciously. She had heard of Professor X, but no one had ever told her that Professor X was such a young and handsome man Well, the only thing he fits everyone's description of Professor X is that wheelchair.

Charles looked at Lorna with a smile and said, "I am indeed a little different from the legends, but I am still me."

Lorna nodded noncommittally and said, "Okay! Actually, I don't care why you are different from the legend. You seemed surprised when you saw me just now. Why, have you heard of me?"

Charles smiled and said, "Oh, that's right! I heard about it from your father."

Lorna frowned imperceptibly.

"Okay, kids, come in! You're home, and so are you, Lorna!" Charles nodded slightly at the crowd, turned around and drove towards the inside while manipulating the wheelchair.

Rebecca turned her head to look at Peter and Rick, and said, "I think the professor means to talk to Lorna?"

Peter shrugged and said, "It's normal, isn't it? The professor likes talking to people the most."

"Peter and I moved Lorna's luggage to your room!" Rick said.

Rebecca hummed, reached out and pushed Lorna's back, and said, "Let's go to the professor's office first."

Lorna nodded, smiled at Rick, and said, "Thank you, I'm sorry!" Holding Chen Xi and Rebecca, they walked into Xavier, a place that had been destroyed by many mutants.

Charles' office.

Rebecca stretched out her hand to gently touch a wooden chair with a softer straight back, and saw that the wooden chair turned into a soft sofa chair with circular armrests. She nodded in satisfaction and said to Lorna, "Sit!"

A hint of gratitude flashed in Lorna's eyes, and she didn't refuse, she hugged Chen Xi and sat down comfortably on the chair transformed by Rebecca, facing Charles who was sitting in front of the window.

Rebecca looked at Charles' thoughtful expression, reached out and touched Lorna's shoulder lightly, and said, "You guys talk about it! I'm going out!"

Charles looked at Rebecca and said gently, "Rebecca."

Rebecca hummed and said, "What's the matter? Professor."

"Eric will thank you, one day, even if he doesn't do it now." Charles said slowly, "For everything you've done."

Rebecca shook her head, looked back at Charles, and said, "No, I don't need his thanks, because what I'm doing now is just as I like."

Charles was silent, with a faint smile in his eyes.

Rebecca and Lorna looked at each other, nodded at each other, she turned and strode out.

After the door of the office was closed by Rebecca, Lorna lowered her head and wiped the saliva from Chen Xi's mouth with a saliva towel, looked around the room casually, and said, "It looks pretty good here, but those people didn't pay attention to your place?"

"If you mean the official, in fact, in their eyes, Professor X no longer exists." Charles replied.

Lorna nodded casually and asked, "So, do you know about the underground mutant organization?"

Charles raised his eyebrows, looked at Lorna, and said, "Of course."

Lorna looked at Charles, showing a touch of displeasure, and said, "You know? You always knew?"

"Yes, I know." Charles replied.

"Now that you know, why didn't you send someone to rescue us when we were being rounded up?" Lorna looked at Charles sullenly, "You hid in this old castle, but watched people being hunted down and experimented on? "

Charles looked at Lorna and said calmly: "Lorna, everyone has their own responsibilities. The task of the underground mutant organization is to transfer the remaining people out of the United States, and I, I am not trying to shirk my responsibility, I want to What I do is to change our living environment, I have already failed once, so this time, in order to ensure that I don’t fail again, Lorna, I have to watch you fight.”

Lorna showed a sneering expression, and said: "You are shirking responsibility now. My friends and I have been sticking to the mission given by the X-Men and fighting those humans who want to arrest us. Of course, my friends Still on dead-end missions, and you, the leader of the X-Men, are here enjoying your life and claiming to have to watch us fight? Huh!"

Charles had a sad expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and said, "X-Men, they... don't exist anymore."

Lorna was taken aback when she saw the heavy eyes on Charles' back, then smiled disdainfully and said, "So, do you mean that the task of protecting and transferring mutants can also be stopped?"

"No, on the contrary, before the mutants stand on the other side of the scale, all the remaining people must leave here and leave those organizations that have ulterior motives for you." Charles said, "I don't expect you to understand, but I'm glad to see you Come to Xavier, Lorna."

Lorna remained silent, looked down at Chen Xi who was pulling her hair in her arms, and snorted coldly.

Charles followed Lorna's gaze to Chen Xi in her arms, and said flatly, "You have suffered a lot for this child, do you think it's worth it now?"

Lorna looked at Chen Xi upon hearing this, then looked up at Charles, and said, "No mother would feel that her child is not worth it."

Charles nodded, and said slowly: "When she was born, I felt her strength."

"Dawn?" Lorna raised her eyebrows, "Then, is it true that you can sense all the mutants in the world?"

"Strictly speaking, I need an instrument with enhanced abilities to be able to sense all of them. If in normal times, I can sense powerful mutants, sometimes I don't know who you are and where you live, but, I I can sense your abilities." Charles paused, "Chenxi and you, that's it."

Lorna was silent for a while, and said, "It sounds like you're praising my ability, but sorry, I don't think I'm powerful."

Charles smiled and didn't answer her words.

At this moment, Chen Xi suddenly grabbed Lorna's hair impatiently.Lorna lowered her head and gently coaxed Chen Xi up.

Charles looked at Lorna humming to Chen Xi with a smile. After a long while, Chen Xi was still humming haha, not very happy. He asked, "Do you need help?"

Lorna frowned and said, "What can you help!"

Charles smiled and said, "Maybe I can communicate with Chen Xi."

Lorna remembered his ability, looked at Chen Xi's irritable appearance, fell silent for a moment, and said, "Okay! Then, how do you need me to cooperate with you?"

Charles shook his head and said, "You don't need to do anything, you just need to hold her."

Lorna heard this and looked at Charles.

Charles came to them in a wheelchair, and stretched out his hand to gently stroke Chen Xi's head. He stared at the little guy, his blue jewel-like eyes sparkling.

Lorna looked at Charles, and looked down at Chen Xi in her arms. After a few minutes, Chen Xi slowly quieted down, and she stretched out her little hand to grab Charles.

Charles smiled and held his hand in front of her.

Chen Xi grabbed Charles's thumb, and murmured, as if talking to him.

Lorna looked surprised, looked at Charles and asked, "Is she talking to you?"

Charles nodded with a smile and said, "That's right!"

Lorna looked down at Chen Xi, and asked softly: "Hey, baby, what are you talking to him? Looks happy?"

Chen Xi looked up at Lorna and giggled.

"She just told me she was curious about Xavier," Charles said mildly. "Besides, she's kind of hungry!"

When Lorna heard Charles say that Chen Xi was hungry, she immediately stood up and said, "I have to find Rebecca, Chen Xi's milk powder is in her room."

Charles nodded and said, "Go!" As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the office opened automatically.

Lorna glanced at Charles, and strode out with Chen Xi in her arms.
