Chapter 50

With calm eyes I look at the people that had just sat down at my table, using the database that was connected to my brain I was able to easily find out who they were and most likely why they were there, some had fake names but I trough some pretty easy connections I was able to find their true identity.

' Kate Bishop, daughter of Hawkeye/Clint Barton, most likely sent here as a way to attract me towards Shield, Felicia Hardy, Black Cat, one of the most well-known burglars in New York, most likely wants me to help her in some way, she must be thinking that I might fall for her charm or some bullshit like that, Jean, Kitty, Anna, Rogue a mutant able to copy powers or more likely constitution that grant powers with her usual gloves and emo aura, and lastly a pretty difficult research.' I think while staring for a second at a pretty normal-looking girl.

Everything about her looked and seemed normal, too normal, something was off, no one too normal would be here at this moment, so I searched and searched until I made a possible connection, Magneto had as his helper a mutant able to change skin, voice, sex, and pretty much everything, and boosted by the fact that even after putting her face on a scanner I couldn't find anything I recognized her as Mystique.

All of this research and thinking only laster not more than 3 seconds, enough time to let me look all around my table.

" So? Why do I have the honour to be on this table?" I ask, literally, too fucking women all around me, it gives me the creeps, do they think I am such an easy target, I ignore Jean, she knows who and what I so it doesn't count.

Talking about Jean, her danger aura changed, from the previous orange it's becoming red it is slowly becoming Dark, she must be fusing quite well with her Phoenix powers.

" It's not every day that someone survives an alien invasion and comes back this hot," Felicia says with a sultry voice.

" She is right, dude you went from * Help I have depression* to * Your Daughter calls me Daddy too*," Kitty says making Kate and Rogue snicker.

" I am flattered, and was I that bad before? I focused more on studies than friendship." I said while taking a bite of the school lunch.

'Taste like chemicals, boosted perception will be a problem for future foods.'

" Honestly? You were pretty scary." Kitty instantly says.

" In what way? As you say I looked like I had depression."

" Yeah, the depression that brings to going pew pew at school."

"Understandable," I answer.

Honestly? If I knew I wouldn't be arrested, and I wouldn't have died, I would have thought about it.

" So what now? You are so big and strong now, you gonna become a hero?" Kate says making a fake joke, she was a good actor, but not good enough.

" Me? Nah, Not suited for it."

Jean rolls her eyes at my remark, knowing I both telling the truth and lying at the same time.

" Why so?" Felicia says a bit more interested.

" Because I am not stupid," I tell while taking another big bite.

" What do you mean?" The normal-looking girl says, some of the girls giving her attention only now.

" Let's take as an example two heroes, Cap and Spiderman, one is legally a hero, backed up by the government, and the other is a dude who came from nothing and became what he is today, between the two if I started I would be like him, and we all see how he is treated."

" He stays up all night, being, beaten, shot, insulted, and worse things, but he still goes on, not giving a fuck about who or what tries to stop him, only caring about saving innocent."

" Isn't that good?" Kate asks.

" That's the problem, I don't care," I say with a smile.

" What do you mean," Kitty says cringing a bit.

" It means what it means, I don't care, while others were living their life I was being tortured, I escaped, survived, and got here by myself, I won't stop heroes, but I won't aid others if I know I can put my life in danger," I say

On the table a pin drop of silence spreads, not fully knowing how to answer, Jean simply sighs and shakes her head.

I finish my lunch and get up from my table.

" As a last thing, you can consider me any way you want for what I just said, an asshole, a psychopath, a bastard, but I only see myself as only one thing... A survivor."

I start walking away, was the last phrase a bit edgy? Yes, did it give me enough time to bug everyone on the table? Hell yes.

With this, I will able to know the location of the brotherhood, Shield, and I will always know where my little cosmic bodyguard is.

The rest of the day went pretty normally and kinda boring, kinda hoped for another alien attack.

'What should I do? It was interesting to gain the position of possible sources of metagenes and materials but apart from that it was boring, should I disappear again...'

Just as I was about to get out I see him, still there, cleaner than ever, no... as clean as before her death.

He waiting, searching with his for someone, his worried eyes, his painful eyes, his crying eyes.

He sees me, and I see him, we are just staring at each other, I can't think, actually I can, but I don't know what to do, doesn't matter how intelligent and wise I am, just don't know how to act.

He starts walking towards me, with no anger in his steps like usual, his inability to walk straight due to alcohol is gone, and his steps are now strong and hurt at the same time.

He stands in front of me, a head shorter but still making me feel strange.

" Hello, Fa-"

Before I could finish I see him moving for a hug, this time I act more on instinct and directly evade him.

He sees me evade, his eyes becoming even more hurt, he closes them for a second and sighs.

" I was asking too much after what I had done... I am sorry." He says while looking straight into my eyes.

'... What the fuck.'
