“Mary, Anna Marie LeBeau.”
The young girl replied timidly.
As expected!
Logan felt somewhat helpless, not expecting to be inadvertently dragged into the old madman’s plan.
This girl was Mary, nicknamed ‘Rogue’, who appeared in the first X-Men movie, and she was chased and killed by Sabretooth right at the start just like this, except the location was changed from the Maple Country border to New York.
And that old madman Magneto’s purpose was to use this chick as a humanoid battery.
He couldn’t handle it, but someone else could.
“Wait a moment, there is a place you can go, and the people there will protect your safety.”
Mary was not an ungrateful person either; since Logan had saved her, he certainly wouldn’t harm her.
Therefore, she gently nodded.
Carrying the girl towards Xaviers School, there was silence all the way.
By the time Logan brought Mary there, Ororo was already waiting.
Regarding this, he wasn’t surprised at all; Charles could perceive people nearby, and if a Mutant approached him, he would definitely be fully aware of it, so it wasn’t strange for him to send someone to check or meet them.
“James, why is it you?”
Ororo looked surprised; the Professor had asked her to pick someone up, and she had thought it was a stranger who was a Mutant.
Logan lit the cigar he was biting, signaling her to look behind him, and only then did the other party notice that a strange girl was sitting behind him.
“Anna Marie LeBeau, when I encountered her, she was being pursued by Sabretooth.”
Ororo’s expression changed immediately.
“The Brotherhood?”
Logan nodded.
“Follow me!”
Before long, the three of them came to the Headmaster’s office, where Charles, Jean, and Scott were already waiting.
After Charles experienced a bit of Mary’s memory, he sighed softly.
“You’ve had a hard time, child. Once you’re here, you’re safe.”
Looking at Charles’s kind and gentle appearance, Mary felt somewhat more at ease and gently nodded.
Ororo took Mary down to settle her in.
After the two left, Charles looked solemn.
“Mary’s ability is somewhat special; I suspect Erik wants to use Mary to achieve some kind of ulterior motive.”
“Professor, now that she is with us, Magneto probably wouldn’t dare to show up here.” Scott said with a face full of confidence.
Hearing this, Logan couldn’t help scoffing, drawing a glare from the other party.
He didn’t pamper him either and retorted, “What? Can you solo Magneto? Or do you think Charles can do anything about Magneto, who wears a helmet that blocks Charles’s ability?”
Scott was at a wordless loss, having to secretly harbor resentment. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
“Logan is right. If Erik comes looking for trouble, almost none of us are his match.”
Charles sighed, looked down at his own legs for a moment, and then firmly stated, “But we cannot stand by and watch someone die, nor can we let Erik achieve his conspiracy!”
Logan knew they were going to talk about some internal matters next, and was planning to leave.
“Wait, Logan.”
Charles called out to Logan, looking solemn.
“This time, I need your help!”
Logan stared at Charles for a moment and slowly nodded.
“Let’s make it clear first: my ability is completely countered by that old madman, and I can’t do anything about him, but letting me deal with the others is no problem.”
“Rest assured, I will make reasonable arrangements.” Charles smiled; he was very gratified that Logan could stay and help.
Little did he know, the reason Logan chose to stay was because he wanted to use his cheat to absorb the genes of that group of Mutants under Magneto’s command.
Take that fellow Sabretooth, for instance; as long as he absorbed the other’s x-factor, his healing factor, physical fitness, and beastly perception would inevitably rise to another level.
If by sheer luck he absorbed the old madman’s ability, then it would be even simpler for him to lie flat in the future.
Calling Tony to ask for a few days off, Logan stayed at Xaviers School.
Regarding his arrival, except for Scott, basically everyone held a welcoming attitude.
The students were because Logan had saved them, not to mention Jean and Ororo.
Everyone patiently prepared for battle.
During this period, Charles had Ororo bring back a Mutant with blue skin and a body shape unlike a human, named Kurt Wagner, who possessed the ability of teleportation, just like the Red Devil back then.
Nightcrawler’s return left Logan somewhat speechless; the plot of this World was simply a complete mess.
Just like William Stryker whom he killed—clearly a villain in the second X-Men movie, now resolved by him early—and Kurt also appeared in the second movie.
Now, Old Magneto from the first movie had instead become the villain BOSS of the’second movie’.
Thinking carefully, this was a stitched-together World, so it wasn’t strange for certain so-called plot deviations to appear.
After all, people were not NPCs; how could they walk according to so-called plot inertia?
The nighttime Xaviers School appeared very quiet.
Logan was leaning against the windowsill smoking and drinking; after all, there were no other forms of entertainment in this Mutant school.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the room door.
In his mind, he was judging whether it was Ororo or Jean, but without hesitation, he said aloud to come in.
The door opened, revealing Ororo’s iconic silver hair and charming face.
Just when Logan thought he could have a good night’s sleep today, he suddenly sensed something was wrong, raised an eyebrow, and then said nonchalantly, “So late, is there something you need?”
“Logan, I can’t sleep.”
Logan chuckled inwardly.
Seeing the flash of annoyance in the other party’s eyes, he feigned coldness.
“If you can’t sleep, go run a couple of laps around the outside playground; once you’re tired, you’ll naturally fall asleep.”
‘Ororo’ almost broke character, gnashing her teeth inwardly, but her face revealed a charming smile.
“Logan, don’t be like this.”
Logan rolled his eyes, finished the whiskey in his cup, climbed down from the windowsill, walked in front of ‘Ororo’, looked down at her from above, and said, “Raven, stop pretending. Ororo has been doing yoga frequently lately.”
The implication was that your butt is not as perky as the real Ororo’s right now.
At this, Raven finally couldn’t hold it together anymore, transforming back into her original appearance, filled with grievance.
“Logan, you really are a bastard!”
“Thanks for the compliment.” Logan smiled indifferently.
“Why aren’t you going out to trick Mary into leaving, and instead running over to find me?”
Raven leaned against Logan’s robust pectoral muscles and said seductively, “Isn’t it because we haven’t seen each other in a long time, and I missed you a bit.”
Logan rolled his eyes.
“Save it, I certainly don’t believe those words.”
“Then what will make you believe it?” Raven gave a meaningful glance toward the direction of the bed, the meaning self-evident.
Although Logan liked women, he wasn’t desperate.
Facing Raven’s initiative, his first reaction was that the other party definitely wanted to scheme against him.
Therefore, without any nonsense, he directly activated an illusion to plunge the other party into a certain fantasy; his ability to manipulate perception could make the other party feel as though they were in reality.
After finishing, he put Raven on the bed and then left his room.
In the dark corridor, Logan’s sharp senses began to amplify, clearly capturing the anomalies transmitted into his ears.
Before long, a faint friction sound rang out—that was the sound of clothing rubbing against the door frame, and it wasn’t far from him.
Logan’s eyes narrowed as he quietly groped his way to the position where the sound came from.
His sharp perception had already formed the outline of a humanoid shape in his mind.
The Adamantium claws slowly popped out.
The moment he was less than a meter away from the opponent, Logan suddenly burst forth.
A bright silver light flashed under the moonlight and vanished in an instant.
“Hiss—”
The sound of flesh being pierced rang out, and the smell of blood began to diffuse.
The claws on Logan’s other hand popped out and he was about to deliver another strike, when the person beneath him suddenly erupted with immense force, tossing him aside and instantly causing him to shatter the window and fall onto the lawn.
The huge noise caused the entire estate to wake up, and one light after another lit up.
