13 First battle

"Charles is really angry."

After Charles and others left, Raven sat on the sofa and spoke with her hands clasped unconsciously.

Outside were the agents, who were dealing with their mess.

Raven, who had spent more time with Charles than anyone else, knew that the professor, who had always had a good personality and was easy to talk to, was really angry this time.

In fact, after seeing Charles and others, these people also realized that they seemed to have gone too far.

This can be seen from their faces when they saw Charles.

Wendy, who was sitting next to Raven, saw her like this, put her little hand on Raven's hand, and whispered softly, "We can just apologize when they come back. After all, we are just too happy to see the same kind of people."

Wendy's comfort made Raven feel a little better. She smiled at Wendy and said,.

"Well, thank you, Wendy; you are right."

It's understandable that these mutants would be like this; it's the first time they've seen so many of the same kind in the same place since they were young.

It's inevitable that they'll be excited, and in this mood, it's not impossible for them to have overreacted.

Wendy believed that it would be understandable if they waited for Charles to calm down, but the problem now is that Charles had already gone to the Soviet Union with Eric to find Shaw, and he really didn't bring these mutants with him. She wanted him to understand, but they have to wait until he comes back.

In order to change the subject and make Raven feel better, Wendy asked in confusion.

"Why is he called Professor Charles X?"

Raven became slightly enthusiastic and said, "Wendy, do you still remember Charles' last name?"

"Huh?" Wendy tilted her head and said, "It seems to be Xavier."

"Yes, that's why I call him Professor X."

Raven nodded and said.

It turns out that this is where Professor X came from, and Wendy finally understood.

In her previous life, she was a little curious as to why the professor was called Professor. He is called Professor X, or, in other words, it is just the abbreviation of Xavier.

"Speaking of which, I want the codename Magneto even more."

After a while, Wendy sighed and said it deliberately.

Before Raven could answer, Alex (Shockwave), who always spoke without thinking, joked, "No, no, no, you are too young. I think Magnetic Princess is more suitable for you."

With lightning flashing on her forehead, Wendy looked at Alex fiercely and considered zapping him with electricity a little.

"Hey, be careful with that! You—"

But watching the interaction between the two people, the surrounding mutants also started to make noises, as if fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

However, after such a commotion, everyone's mood improved a lot.

Charles would not be able to come back for a while, and the agents outside quickly repaired the things that the mutants had broken.

As for the poor statue in the middle, it is unknown where it was thrown.

For a while, the mutants became a little idle. Alex and Darwin began to play with the game consoles next to them, while the others ate snacks on the table in silence.

"Wendy, it's very late. You should go to bed."

After a while, Raven touched Wendy's head and whispered persuasion.

According to normal time, Wendy should have fallen asleep by now because it is already midnight.

Wendy was indeed very sleepy, but she knew that she couldn't sleep now.

According to the plot, not long after Charles left, Shaw came to raid the CIA.

By calculating the time difference, the raid would be tonight.

Wendy had a good impression of Darwin and does not want him to die in Sebastian Shaw's hands.

So after thinking about it carefully, Wendy shook her head and said to Raven, "Raven, I'm not sleepy yet."

Even though she said that, because her body was still young, Wendy was still a little sleepy and unable to hold on.

After all, she was usually already asleep at this time.

Yawning, her eyes half-open and half-closed, looking dazed, anyone could tell that Wendy needed to rest now.

But when she had just taken a nap and Raven was about to take Wendy back to sleep, there was a heavy, muffled sound and a scream.

"What's the situation?"

Wendy opened her eyes suddenly when she heard the sound.

She was confused just now and couldn't figure out the situation for a while.

After a while, she realized that the screams were not only coming from outside but also from several other people in the room.

She was about to turn her head to look out the window, but Raven moved faster. She ran directly to Wendy, hugged her, and covered Wendy's eyes, her body trembling slightly.

"Raven?"

"Wendy, don't look."

Raven pretended to be calm and said, but her trembling hands let Wendy know that she was not as calm as she appeared.

Now Wendy also remembered what happened in the movies.

Shaw must have led a surprise attack. It should be the time when the Red Devil was using his teleportation abilities to kill.

The Red Devil's method of killing is to teleport to someone else's side and then teleport that person into the sky, allowing the other person to experience the pleasure of bungee jumping. Of course, it is unprotected and can only be done once in a lifetime.

The continuous banging sounds in Wendy's ears now were the sounds coming from those people falling from high in the sky.

"What do we do now?"

What happened outside made the mutants here realize that an enemy had broken in, and everyone was at a loss for a while.

It wasn't until the Red Devil appeared outside and started killing the agents on the ground that Darwin yelled, "Let's go out and help!"

Darwin's approach cannot be said to be wrong, but obviously the CIA agents outside did not believe in their group of mutants, so they were quickly blocked back.

Listening to the explosions and screams outside, Wendy wanted to do something, but Raven hugged her tightly to protect her, and her eyes were always blocked by Raven's hands, so she couldn't see anything. Nothing can be done.

In fact, Wendy is actually a little nervous because the person she has to face next is Sebastian Shaw, the biggest villain in the first battle of the X-Men.

His ability can almost completely restrain Wendy, or, in other words, restrain any superpower that can release energy.

He can absorb any energy for his own use, even nuclear energy.

Wendy knows that there must be an upper limit to the speed of this absorption.

If it exceeds this upper limit, it will be difficult for Shaw to escape the fate of destruction.

However, it is a pity that Wendy's current discharge capacity will definitely not reach the level of breaking Shaw's upper limit, so there is no way to deal with him for now.

But having no choice does not mean sitting still and waiting for death.

At this moment, she must at least take the initiative to attack instead of waiting for Shaw to come and then passively fighting back.

Therefore, Wendy reached out her hand and pried away Raven's hand that was blocking her eyes.

When Wendy finally could see what was in front of her, what she saw was that outside the window on the other side, a huge tornado was moving towards them.

Wendy knew that this was Riptide's ability.

"Wendy?" Seeing Wendy breaking away from her and intending to go outside, Raven quickly grabbed her arm and said, "It's dangerous outside!"

"Raven, they are coming for us."

Looking at the tornado outside the window, Wendy said to Raven, "We can't just stay here and do nothing."

After speaking, Wendy broke away from Raven's arm and walked to the window.

Before Raven could hold her, an electric light began to flash around her body.

No one except Darwin could get close to Wendy, whose body was covered with electricity, so Raven could only helplessly let her walk to the window, watch her stretch out her hands, and point her face towards the outside with no expression.

Wendy wants to join Charles' team and participate in the decisive battle with Shaw.

So just having a good relationship with these people is not enough. She also needs to show her own strength.

Now is the time to show off his strength.

Shaw will not take the initiative to kill mutants; for now, even if she goes against him, he will not have the intention to kill Wendy.

Instead, he may try to win her over.

What she wants to do now is very simple: use the electromagnetically attracted iron sand to have a one-on-one showdown with Riptide.
