Chapter Sixty-seven(67)

Even dealing with people with mental defenses was way better than dealing with someone who nullifies your advantage from the get go. At least they had what he called "Scattered thoughts" which were basically random thoughts that a person had at any given moment, they can't be masked and based on them, he would be able to piece out what said person was thinking or feeling at that moment but without his abilities, he would have to manually figure out and judge if they could trust this nation with Kevin.

Hank was more excited than worried as the fact that the city seemed to have a means of nullifying a mutant's abilities just by existing was exciting to him. He had worked for years to months just to discover a way to stop his Mutation but instead things got worse, he went from just an average guy with enhanced strength, speed, agility etc and hands for feet to an actually monkey-like beast but this nation was capable of returning him back to normal just by him entering their airspace. Moira on the other hand just wanted her son to get better, it didn't matter to her if they took his abilities away in total or if they simply seal it.

[You have arrived at your destination] the robotic voice said as the car pulled over

"Let's go" Moira said as she stepped out of the car and the others followed.

Standing on the side walk as they watched the car speed away to answer to the next customer or go charge itself, the trio sighed at the orderliness of the place then turned to look at the absolute monster of a building that was in front of them. Of course, building a skyscraper wasn't exactly new or unseen, it was the design which made the set of towers before them look more like something out of a sci-fi movie than something in reality.

In addition to that, this wasn't a single skyscraper instead it was a set of skyscrapers that were build in such a way that from above, one would think they were some startrek space ship. The trio didn't wait too long outside as they matched inside and after a brief moment of waiting, they were on their way to achieve their goal.

Inside a large office located close to the top of the building, a woman could be seen sitting behind a desk that was covered in documents but she was instead fiddling with a small black cube rather than working. It seemed more like she had given herself a small break to rest her mind a bit.

"Let's see what else can you do" she asked curiously as she continued fiddling with the cube

*Ping*

"Oh!.... Can you bring Ma back to life?" She asked suddenly after hearing the weird loud sound. For some reason, she could understand what the cube meant despite the only sound it could make being a ping noise. She didn't understand how it worked but she had long since given up on logic.

*Ping*

"At this point, I don't know if you can really do so or if James programmed you to just say that" she said then the telephone on the table rang and she picked it immediately

"Yes?" She asked into the phone

"Ma'am, you're 10:00 AM appointment is here, should I send them in" her secretary asked

"Sure" she replied then dropped the phone and immediately tidied up her table to make it look presentable

Minutes later, a knock was heard on the door and soon the trio was standing in front of her. Moira felt proud seeing her after all she was a true woman in power and one of the biggest inspirations to all young women around the world, Hank was excited because he was looking at the leader to the most technologically advanced nation in the world while Charles was a little bit surprised by her youth, he expected her to be a little bit older but he didn't care so much instead he had already started analysing her mannarism so he can make a good decision.

"Nice to finally meet you Miss Anna" Moira said as soon as she met Miss Anna

"Well Thank you, I can say the same for you, you know we have been trying to get you on our team for a long time now" Miss Anna replied then turned to the two men who were just waiting silently behind her

"Well, I had my circumstances that were holding me back, oh and this is Professor Charles Xavier and Dr Henry McCoy, they're associates of mine" Moira said to introduce them
