Magneto & Professor X

The contrast before and after is really huge, so Magneto is somewhat uncertain.

"Long time no see, Magneto."

Zane pretended to be calm and said, while flashing an awkward smile.

At this point, Tony, who was almost treated as a background, began to assert his presence.

"How do you all know this tin can?" 

"What tin can? Zane is a good person." Peter Parker argued reasonably.

In his mind, Zane was like a benefactor, giving him valuable opportunities to fulfill his aspirations.

Even when he ultimately chose to become a superhero, Zane didn't stop him and even gave him $10 million.

Peter could balance his career and love life, and even Aunt May now lived comfortably.

So Peter firmly opposed Tony Stark's attempt to discredit their benefactor.

At the same time, Magneto also spoke up.

"Zane is my friend, Mr. Stark, please watch your words!"

With that, Magneto activated his powers to directly control the armor worn by Tony, suspending him in mid-air.

But it was only for a moment. The next moment, Magneto released his powers, returning Tony's freedom and giving him a small warning.

After all, five years ago, although Zane's purpose was unclear, it was an undeniable fact that he saved his wife and three children.

Magneto would always remember this favor.

Just as Peter and Magneto stared at the embarrassed Tony with momentum, Zane broke the deadlock.

"Old man, how is Nina and your wife now? Does little Nina miss me?"

Magneto, who was originally full of vigor, suddenly froze upon hearing Zane's words, seeming to age significantly in an instant.

He sighed, then pretended to be calm and said:

"Five years ago, what I did in Cairo, you must know, right?"

Just by looking at Magneto's expression, Zane knew he had asked the wrong question. But seeing Magneto, who had already started to confide, Zane still kindly picked up where he left off.

"Yes, of course."

"At that time, my mind was filled with dissatisfaction with society and hatred towards humanity. Under Apocalypse's induction, I did some bad things. As a result, my wife became afraid of me and left with our two unborn children and Nina."

Mystique, who had been standing silently by Magneto's side, was now frantically signaling to Zane with her eyes, indicating that he had said the wrong thing.

But words spoken were like spilled water, impossible to take back. Zane could only laugh awkwardly:

"Haha, it's okay, anyway, old man, you have no other skills, just have many children, only three left, not a big problem."

"Huh, many children?" Magneto asked in confusion.

Just as Zane said this, he wanted to slap himself a few times. You're asking for it, being so talkative!

But Lorna, who was in Zane's arms, had been silent all along, just staring intently at Magneto's slightly aged figure.

"Why does this person have the same ability as me, and why does he look so familiar? And dear, why do you seem so nervous seeing him?"

Various questions surged in Lorna's mind. Finally, after her brain worked at lightning speed, she came to a ridiculous conclusion.

"Could it be that he is..."

Just as Zane was a little flustered and didn't know how to respond, and Lorna was shocked by the answer she deduced, the X-Men arrived in their invisible jet.

At this moment, Zane suddenly felt that Professor X looked particularly kind, even though he was a bald old man.

"Mr. Zane, long time no see," Professor X said politely, sitting in his wheelchair.

"Long time no see, Professor."

Facing Charles, who had just solved the crisis for him, Zane was willing to be polite.

"Five years ago, Mr. Zane's guess was indeed accurate. I am bald now," Professor X said with a smile, but his eyes were as meaningful as they were when he first met Zane five years ago.

With that, he even touched his bald head, which could now shine like a light bulb when polished.

"Haha, I just thought this hairstyle suits you. Look how pleasing it is now."

Zane awkwardly rubbed his nose, not explaining further, and forcibly changed the subject.

Professor X didn't delve into it further, but looked at Magneto, who was still pondering over what Zane had just said.

"Eric, you've lost weight and aged."

If Zane didn't read it wrong, there seemed to be tears shimmering in Professor X's eyes.

"Ah... Charles, you've aged too."

"Yes, time waits for no one!"

What the heck is going on? Why are you two suddenly showing affection? This feels a bit off.

At this moment, Zane and everyone else present were a bit confused.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I here for?

Even the X-Men couldn't help but subtly step back from Professor X, looking towards the sky, almost saying they didn't know this bald guy.

'Hey, I'm trying to be cool here. Who wants to see you two old men being lovey-dovey!' Zane roared inwardly.

At the same time, Zane discreetly glanced at Lorna in his arms, then at the openly affectionate bald guy and his father-in-law.

Indeed, same-sex relationships are true love. If you don't believe it, just look at how many wives Magneto has had, but in the end, it's only Professor X who stays by his side, loving and fighting.

Realizing that his thoughts were a bit dangerous, Zane shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off that terrifying idea from his mind.

But now, things have developed beyond what Zane had anticipated.

Who are these weirdos present now!

There's a talkative guy who supports me (Spider-Man),

A little guy who argues with me as soon as we meet (Iron Man),

A pair of old buddies (Professor X and Magneto), their pink atmosphere is making Zane feel uncomfortable.

There are also some other miscellaneous minions playing background roles (Mystique, Storm, Cyclops, Beast, etc.)

So now the question arises, how should Zane show off in front of this group of weirdos?

Zane suddenly felt a headache. He shouldn't have indulged in his chuunibyou fantasies in the first place.
