New York's largest city park is on fire!
Last night many firefighters were mobilized to put out the vast blaze.
If they had been a little late, not only would the park have been scorched, it is thought that the fire would have spread to the trees lining the street and it was only a matter of time before it spread to other more dangerous places such as gas plants etc.
This incident was covered by many TV stations, many people in New York, even other cities or some people in other countries already knew this news.
The government as usual said that it was an accident by bad people. Even though they had information that the fire was caused by people with supernatural abilities such as mutants, they still prevented the real news from being revealed to the public for some interests.
But still, the government did not prevent some TV stations from spraying that the city park fire was related to mutants. The reputation of mutants once again plummeted, leaving many mutants hiding in New York unsatisfied of course.
"...." Many mutants fell silent.
Even if some mutants actually set fire to that city park.
As usual, the media always blamed all mutants on earth.
If the perpetrator of the crime is human, the media will definitely only blame the perpetrator and will not blame all races that are the same as the perpetrator.
It makes no sense to blame all humans just because of the mistakes of a few humans.
But does it make sense to blame all mutants for the mistakes of a few mutants?
Well this is how racist people usually act.
Although many mutants are used to the social discrimination they experience as mutants.
Not all mutants can just sit back and accept the fact that they are discriminated against again and again.
For example, some evil mutants vent their anger by wreaking havoc in some places.
A group of mutants called the Brotherhood of Mutants led by Magneto somewhere added to the fire of their hatred for humans in their hearts. As long as Magneto is ready to move, they are ready to move to start the war again.
Other evil mutant groups have their own ideas, such as the Hellfire Club.
Many of them are actually indifferent to hearing human media spraying mutants.
Instead of thinking about that, they prefer to focus on completing missions to increase the strength of the Hellfire Club little by little by recruiting more mutants to their side.
That was the order given to them by their King, the Black King, Sebastian Shaw who became their leader.
In a room.
Shaw had actually just heard the news about the fire in the city park as he was busy with other things earlier.
Now that he had received the news from his subordinates, he didn't care about the park burning or the mutants being spray by the media. He was more concerned about the fact that Jason seemed to have failed again.
The mutant who set the city park on fire was definitely an out-of-control Jean Grey, and somehow an out-of-control Phoenix could stop rampaging.
There are two possibilities for this.
Either Jason really managed to control Jean Grey so quickly, or Jason really failed and there were other factors that made his plan fail.
"Tessa, call Jason, tell him I want to talk to him." Shaw said to his secretary.
Tessa who was standing at the throne nodded, she knew Shaw was too proud to call Jason himself, so he needed her to forward the call.
...
On the other side.
Jason was in a bad mood at the moment.
Last night his plan failed, even a dozen elite mutants in his group died and no one came back.
If it was the mutants he used to use as cannon fodder, he probably wouldn't feel this bad.
But the problem was, it was his group of elite mutants that were slaughtered!
Unlike Shaw who had hundreds of powerful mutants under his command, the number of his mutant subordinates who could be called powerful didn't even reach a hundred.
Most of the mutant abilities they have are also trash and not really strong.
He always envied Shaw when comparing the subordinates he had with him.
That's why he was eyeing Shaw's Hellfire Club leader throne and wanted to replace him.
It all started with jealousy!
Jealousy becomes obsession!
And obsession makes his ambition to become the leader of Hellfire Club very strong!
... The key to all his problems is Phoenix!
"Damn it! Who killed all the subordinates I sent last night?!"
"Was it Jean Grey with her Phoenix power out of control? No, I've reminded them to attack from a distance to kill the man Jean Grey loves with a sneak attack."
Jason was confused, he also knew that Jean Grey only got out of control briefly and calmed down soon after. Whether it was because Professor X intervened secretly to calm Jean Grey down or something else.
Wait, he seemed to have missed something.
From the information the White Queen gave him about the man Jean Grey was dating, he already knew the man was a mutant.
And he initially underestimated the man's power.
Pinching his mustache with one hand, he knew he had miscalculated this time.
"The man named Lynn... Maybe he has strong mutant powers."
"To be able to slaughter all the mutants I sent to kill him. He must be at the Alpha or maybe Omega level?"
At the mention of the latter level, he felt skeptical. After all, were Omega-level mutants like cabbages that you could find anywhere? Even the Alpha-level mutants he knew of so far weren't many.
Even so, there is still a possibility that the man named Lynn is an Alpha or Omega level mutant with strong abilities.
If only one of his subordinates had survived last night, he might be able to read their memories to see what kind of mutant abilities the man named Lynn had.
"But I sensed that one of the mutants I sent last night died from triggering the psychic energy I implanted in his brain."
"He must have died thinking about betraying me."
Jason could imagine that the mutant who betrayed him last night must have wanted to save his own life when he was interrogated by someone.
And most likely the person who tried to interrogate him was that man named Lynn.
As he analyzed what happened to his subordinate, and even thought about what he should do next.
His cell phone suddenly rang.
The caller number was familiar, making Jason frown.
It seemed like Shaw was going to complain about his failure.
He received the phone call and Shaw's assistant's voice rang out.
"Mr. Jason, the boss wants to talk to you."
Jason smiled wryly.
"Okay, let me talk to him."
...
Meanwhile.
Not only are some mutant organizations busy.
Organizations that maintain national and global security such as SHIELD are also busy these days.
Everyone who works there is working overtime, especially Nick Fury who has gone numb while working overtime.
Instead of complaining about his overtime work, he has gotten so used to it that he diligently takes medicine every day.
"Hill, how's it going?" In his office, Nick Fury who was busy at the computer asked agent Maria Hill who had just entered.
With a thick stack of papers in her hand, Maria Hill smiled, ignoring Nick Fury's unnoticeable eye bags and placed the stack of papers she was carrying on the desk.
"Boss, this is the information our agents managed to gather about the recent troubles."
"...."
Nick Fury stopped playing with his computer and picked up the stack of papers to read them one by one.
Maria Hill waited quietly.
Her stomach was a little hungry, she actually hadn't had breakfast this morning.
Because she often stays up late and misses meals on time, she may have lost a lot of weight this month.
Fortunately, SHIELD has a high-nutrient and vitamin supplement for all agents to take daily.
Otherwise, many of them would have vomited blood or gotten sick from working too much overtime.
Not all SHIELD agents are completely healthy of course, for example some of the agents need therapy, and SHIELD's personal doctor has to do something to make them feel better and not have the idea of resigning.
"...."
"...."
Nick Fury had no idea what Agent Maria Hill was thinking, he had finished reading all the papers in her hands in 5 minutes and memorized all the important points.
Then he took a breath and said to Agent Maria Hill. "The rampaging Green Titan was captured by Tony Stark, and changed back to his human form of physicist Bruce Banner."
"The military wanted to capture Banner and take him to the lab, but at the last moment Tony Stark tried to negotiate with General Ross not to take Banner to the lab as an experimental subject."
"The result was not good, Banner who had calmed down turned into the Green Titan again and escaped the siege. This time, Tony Start decided not to help the military anymore and let the military capture the Green Titan themselves."
"Well, this is actually good news."
"Yes?" Maria Hill was confused.
She couldn't help but ask. "Boss, isn't this bad? Dr. Banner escaped again and this time he's rumored to have gone to the largest forest in America."
"It will be difficult to find any trace of him again."
"It's okay, Hill. That's actually a good thing. That Green Titan... Let's call him the Hulk. The Hulk escaping into the forest at least won't harm the people living in the city." Nick Fury explained, and added: "And the military will also have a hard time catching him for a while."
"Let Dr. Banner familiarize himself with his Hulk powers first. I actually have an idea to recruit him."
Maria Hill was surprised to hear that her boss wanted to recruit Dr. Banner.
"So should we send agents to scout him and be prepared to recruit him to SHIELD when the time is right?"
Hearing agent Maria Hill's question, Nick Fury shook his head.
Maria Hill thought her boss refused to send people to follow Dr. Banner's trail.
But Nick Fury said, "Send some of our agents to ascertain his location, and you seem to have misunderstood, Hill. I have no intention of recruiting the Hulk to join the Shield."
"I recruited him to join the superhero group project I call the Avengers."
"The plan to form the Avengers has been a long time in the making, and I already have several people lined up as potential members."
Nick Fury seemed to get a little excited when mentioning his Avengers creation plan, and talked quite a bit about it to agent Maria Hill.
Maria Hill had just found out her boss had an idea for a superhero group. She was surprised of course, although on the surface she seemed calm.
"So boss... Who are the people you want to recruit to join the Avengers?"
Nick Fury extended four fingers to Agent Maria Hill and said: "For now, there are only four people. They are Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Natasha Romanoff, and Clint Barton."
"The last two should be fine, but the first two. We still need to convince them, Hill."
"Just be prepared, and keep watching to see if there are any other suitable superhero candidates to join the Avengers."
"Understood, boss. I'll do it." Maria Hill nodded, although she somewhat did not understand why Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton were included in the group of superheroes.
But the boss probably wanted to include them too since they were among the few people he could trust.
Although the two of them didn't really have super abilities, their skills were already beyond normal humans.
As for the other two people?
Tony Stark has the power of advanced technology that allows him to act as a superhero with his Iron Man costume.
And Dr. Banner? He has very strong physical power when he turns into the Hulk.
"By the way Hill, what about the search for the wreckage of the plane Captain America was on in the Arctic? Any progress?"
Nick Fury asked this because he had a faint hope in his heart.
Maria Hill shook her head. "Currently the team sent to the North Pole has not found anything."
Nick Fury sighed, he then picked up some more report papers that he had read earlier.
"Next, culprit who set fire to the city park last night."
"Jean Grey, a mutant from Xavier School was apparently attacked while she was on a date with a man in the city park."
"To deal with her attackers, she went on a rampage and set fire to the city park? By the way Hill, why can't I clearly see the face of the man who is dating mutant Jean Grey? It seems familiar."
Nick Fury raised his eyebrows, he selected some photos that were captured by satellite cameras. There he could see a group of armed mutants planning to attack Jean Grey and the man she was with.
Then the man had a super ability, he could throw purple lightning and turn into purple lightning...
He didn't really care about the mutant Jean Grey who looked out of control in the photo, but he was more focused on the man who could produce purple lightning!
"Hill, our team must have researched this man's resemblance to the man who destroyed Ferncliff Forest a few days ago, right?"
"How did it go?"
Maria Hill nodded. "Although it is not certain, there is a 70% chance that it is the same person."
"In addition to the familiar purple lightning, his face also has a sensor every time we try to investigate him."
"It's still difficult to discover his identity..."
"No, Hill. We have a clue!" Nick Fury interjected, even looking a little excited.
It seemed like all his attention was now focused on discovering the identity of the man with the purple lightning bolt.
No idea what ideas he has for the other party.
"What clues, boss?" Maria Hill was not as smart as her boss to connect all the clues. So she asked.
She saw her boss tapping the picture of Jean Grey a few times, then she realized something.
"Hill, now you understand, right?" Nick Fury asked.
Maria Hill nodded.
Because in the photo it is clear that Jean Grey has a relationship with the man they have been looking for and difficult to find his identity.
If they want to find the man's identity.
They can do it through Jean Grey!
"Should I send someone to monitor Jean Grey now, boss?"
"Yes, do it. But don't send a regular agent, get Natasha Romanoff to take on this task."
"After all, the target of this monitoring is an Alpha level mutant."
After Nick Fury said that, without asking again Maria Hill immediately contacted Natasha Romanoff.
The other party seemed to be on a mission abroad.
But if her boss asked her to come back and take on a new mission, she would have to come back as soon as possible.
...
Westchester.
In a beautiful European-style manor with flower gardens and a tennis court outside.
There is also a swimming pool, and several other facilities there.
Right now, by the pool, a red-haired woman in a sexy white swimsuit. Reached out her slender hand to wipe the hair of the blonde man who had just gotten out of the pool.
The two of them were Jean and Lynn!
"I can do it myself..." Lynn smiled wryly.
"No, let me do it." Jean refused, resolutely, her eyes bulging as she stared at him dripping muscles.
It looked really good.
Jean gulped at the sight of Lynn's naked top.
Although she had already seen it several times when they both started swimming from half an hour ago.
Seeing it again, however, didn't bore her.
Especially when she saw him from this close distance.
To be honest at the moment she refrained from touching Lynn's muscles recklessly because she was worried about being perceived as a perverted woman.
As Jean wiped the water off his body with a towel, Lynn also feasted his eyes on the sight of Jean wearing a bikini.
Now and from this close distance, he could see Jean's sexy and beautiful curves, especially in her breasts and ass.
Lynn now felt sorry that last night he didn't do anything to Jean after he brought her home.
The two of them soon slept in separate rooms.
Since after Phoenix got out of control Jean felt very mentally exhausted, he let her rest as soon as possible.
Even though Jean gave the code to play with him in the same room, but he pretended to refuse because he wanted to give the impression of a man who was in no hurry and had great respect for women.
When he thought about what he did last night, he wondered if he was stupid?
Even Koko, who was sitting on a beach chair drinking milk tea with a Nintendo Switch in her hand, gave him a disappointed look when she just woke up this morning.
That disappointed look from the loli was like saying: "Host, you're not the herbivorous protagonist, right?"
Damn it!
He's definitely not the herbivorous protagonist, okay?
He'll definitely be eating meat!
Just wait Koko, your host will be eating meat in the near future.
Lynn silently swore in his mind.
...
After everyone had finished swimming and changed clothes.
Mao Chan taking a nap on the living room carpet
Koko is watching the movie Nemo on TV.
Sitting quite far away from Koko and Mao Chan.
Jean who was sitting next to him seemed to be agitated about something.
Lynn handed her some milk tea that he had just picked up from the kitchen.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Jean drank the milk tea, Lynn nodded.
The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward.
It was because Jean was restless, she seemed to want to ask something.
"What is it Jean? If you have something to ask, just ask."
"Is it about the news of the fire you caused this morning?"
Jean shook her head, and smiled wryly. "No it's not."
"Then what?" Lynn was confused.
Maybe Jean wanted to go home soon? Although he would be a little reluctant, he would not hold her back.
After all, Xavier School was still Jean's home...for now.
"Actually Lynn, this is about the future of mutants. I know your powers don't come from mutant genes, you said so yourself this morning."
"But I just wanted to ask if you could give me some advice before I go home?"
"Advice? Okay, what advice." Lynn didn't refuse.
Jean was pleased and said: "Then, Lynn. Do you have any good ideas to make the future of mutants better? If you have better ideas than Professor, I will try to persuade Professor to stop with his unrealistic ideas and persuade him with your ideas."
Not knowing why, she felt that Lynn had a solution to the problem of mutant discrimination.
At least, he might have a better idea than Professor's.
"...." Lynn, who was asked about this, was momentarily silent.
Okay?
Since when did he have the image of a critic in Jean's eyes?
Maybe when he criticized Professor X for lick dog too much?
Well but since Jean asked, he didn't mind using his super brain.
Creation is actually quite easy, I just need motivation and ideas to do it. I would appreciate it if you guys support me by making reviews, throwing power stones or joining my pâtreon.
