CHAPTER 27: A familiar situation

A round of applause for the new patron 🎉🎉

------

New York City streets.

At this point, the disguised Storm and Gambit had already blended into the crowd, looking around from time to time as they walked.

[A/N: Here's the problem, I couldn't figure out which of the X-Men that was with Storm could be both 'angel' and Gambit. Everything that comes up is 'little bastard' or 'little rascal', so I couldn't figure out which one it could be. So unless in the future I find out which character it is, it will remain like Gambit because, as far as I know, the 'angel' cannot hide his wings.]

They expected to find Jean and Logan in the crowd.

"New York City is very big, other than that we don't have any leads. Where could we find them?"

Gambit said with some dissatisfaction using his iconic French accent.

Professor X asked them to go out to find someone, but he didn't give any clues. Is this how you find someone?

Being an emergency, they couldn't even ask for help from other sides.

Seeing that Storm ignored him, Gambit continued saying, "Did these two go somewhere for a private meeting?"

"After all, Logan is a rather attractive man."

Storm looked at Gambit speechless, "Wipe those dirty thoughts out of your head Gambit."

"The current situation is very important, the professor cannot find them with his telepathic powers. Something must have happened to them."

The two have been with Professor X for a long time and know how powerful Professor X's telepathic powers are.

In the absence of certain special equipment, monitoring New York City is no problem at all.

But if Charles uses the 'brain', he can even invade the minds of people across the planet in an instant.

As long as people are still on Earth, there is nothing and no one that Professor X cannot find.

But now Jean and Logan have simply disappeared from his radar.

So from Storm's point of view, there's a strong possibility that something happened to the two of them.

Storm's nervousness didn't rub off on Gambit, it was more like he was shopping.

Soon, other reports emerged from Storm's headphones.

'Storm, we haven't found any leads on Jean and Logan, what about you?'

"We haven't found anything either. We've already visited the sixth and eleventh districts, and there are no leads on either."

Suddenly, Gambit half-jokingly said, "Why don't we just call Jean?"

This idea was immediately dismissed by all teammates.

What use would it be to make a call if not even Professor X can find them with his powers?

"Stop messing around Gambit, let's keep looking for them."

"Maybe this has something to do with the Brotherhood."

Storm clicked on her headphones and spoke to his other teammates.

When they heard this, they immediately felt it made sense.

There aren't many people in the world who can handle Jean and Logan, and the Mutant Brotherhood is one of them.

What's more, the X-Men and the brotherhood of mutants have always been at odds.

'I think we should report this to the professor first.'

Cyclops voice came from the headphones.

Storm thought for a while and said, "No, if it is related to the mutant Brotherhood, the professor might hesitate."

"We're going to infiltrate the mutant Brotherhood and rescue them."

Before things were resolved, Storm already wanted to do something with the Mutant Brotherhood.

After hearing Storm's proposal, the others also felt that it made sense.

They know Professor X's character very well.

'OK!'

'Let's meet first.'

Soon, all the X-Men members went to Storm, who happened to be beating up some gangsters in an alley at the time.

Cyclops and the others realized at first glance that those gangsters had probably gone to bother Storm

"Go away!"

Threatened by Storm, the bandits immediately fled.

"We need to have a solid plan."

Cyclops said in a low voice.

At that moment Gambit shook his head and took out his cell phone: "You guys make a plan, I'll see if I can call Jean."

Why not call Logan?

Since Logan is an antique, he doesn't take a cell phone with him when he goes out.

It's something everyone at the Xavier Institute knows.

They didn't worry about Gambit and started making a plan to invade the Mutant Brotherhood.

Gambit searched for a while and finally found Jean's contact information on the phone and dialed directly.

She also just tried, without any hope.

"Okay, let's do it like this."

"We'll split into two teams, one will cause some distraction and the other will go in to find Jean and Logan."

"The battle must be quick, our priority is to rescue them..."

"Hey! Jean, where are you now!"

Gambit picked up the phone and asked.

The group looked at him perplexed.

Really?

Cyclops suddenly felt like they were sitting there and making serious plans like idiots.

Storm didn't believe it, thinking that Gambit was lying to them.

She snatched the cell phone from his hand: "If not even the professor can find their location with his powers, how could you be able to call his cell phone?"

"Ororo, I'm fine."

"I can come back later."

On the phone, Jean's voice came through.

Jean was sitting at the dining table and had just enjoyed a nice dinner, her eyes were full of apologies as she held her cell phone.

While she was having fun, they were preoccupied looking for her.

After confirming that Jean was fine, Ororo continued asking, "Jean, is Logan with you?"

"Logan?"

Jean was surprised and then said, "No, Logan isn't here."

"The professor sent Logan to find you, and now Logan has disappeared."

At the dinner table, Jean was a little anxious. If Logan had gotten into an accident because of her, then she would regret it for the rest of her life.

"Don't worry, I'll look for him right away."

'Okay, we'll wait for you.'

After hanging up the phone, Jean packed her things: "Mr. Morgan, I'm sorry but someone in my family has disappeared."

"I need to leave immediately to help search."

"You need help?"

Gwen said generously, "My dad is a cop and he's the best at finding people."

"Thank you, Gwen, but we should take care of this matter ourselves."

Having said that, Jean was about to leave.

"Before you leave, don't forget to put your clothes back on."

"You'll be the center of attention if you go out like this."

Jean's face turned red, she hadn't changed her swimwear yet.

--------

Downstairs.

Jean thanked Morgan: "Mr. Morgan, thank you very much for your advice today."

"You're welcome, you can come whenever you have time in the future," Arthur replied lightly

"Jean, see you next time."

Gwen spoke from behind Arthur, before Gwen changed her clothes, only Arthur was at the door with Jean.

She just arrived at the door.

It was at that moment that Jean noticed a figure in the corner of the wall.

"Logan?"

Arthur was surprised for a moment.

This scene...

Why is this scene so familiar?
