Storm, Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Wolverine Logan stood silently in the treatment room, surrounding Professor X, who lay on a machine.
Professor X’s shiny bald head and bare upper body were covered with various examination instruments; he had his eyes open, but there was no light in them.
If it weren’t for the normal heartbeat displayed on the electrocardiogram, he would certainly have been mistaken for dead.
But the result was almost the same; he was completely “out of his mind,” no different from a vegetable.
A sad atmosphere permeated the air.
For Storm, Cyclops, and Jean Grey, Professor X was more than just a teacher; he largely filled the void of family affection in their lives.
It could be said that all three had always regarded Professor X as a father figure.
Furthermore, Professor X was also the trusted, even depended upon, leader of the X-Men.
Losing a leader, teacher, and father all at once was undoubtedly an unimaginable blow to the three, a blow so great that it even left them feeling somewhat at a loss as to what to do next.
“We have to do something.” Seeing the three of them standing there for almost two hours, Wolverine Logan finally couldn’t hold back.
“Magneto has already captured Rogue; by using Rogue’s ability, at the cost of Rogue’s life, he can achieve his goal.” Logan was very anxious now, because Rogue had come to the X-Men School with him.
If anything happened to Rogue, Logan wouldn’t be able to live with himself.
Unlike Logan’s anxiety, Storm and Jean Grey continued to silently adjust the instruments, while Cyclops, sitting in front of Professor X, raised his head.
“Logan, give us a little more time to confirm Professor’s life safety.
We cannot… absolutely cannot lose Professor.” “Clang!” Silver-white metal claws extended at this moment.
“Unfortunately, I’ve never been a patient person.
I’m in a hurry now.” Logan shook his claws, glanced at the three, then turned and walked towards the door.
He had already decided to act alone, and just as he opened the door, a figure who had been eavesdropping, leaning against the door, unexpectedly fell onto him.
“Yo!” Looking at Wolverine, who was staring at him with a surprised expression, Ethan reached out to greet him and tried to shake the big shot’s paw as a sign of friendship.
“Who are you?” Looking at the young man who was about to fiddle with his claws, Logan’s expression was a bit strange.
“My name is Ethan, and I’m an honor student who was admitted this year with excellent grades,” Ethan introduced himself.
“Morpheus, why are you here?” Storm turned to look at Ethan, her expression a bit surprised.
“Something happened to Professor X, and you all panicked and didn’t do a good job with security, so the news got out to some students.” Ethan explained with a shrug, his eyes constantly glancing at Professor X on the machine.
“It seems really serious.” “Kid.” Wolverine patted Ethan’s shoulder.
“As an obedient good student, this isn’t where you should be.
Right now, you should be lying in bed, saying goodnight to your roommate, and getting a good night’s sleep.” “But it’s not bedtime right now,” Ethan shrugged, saying with a smile.
“Oh, is that so?” Logan glanced at the grinning Ethan, and the hand gripping Ethan’s shoulder tightened.
“Then let me tell you now, bedtime has changed.” Logan exerted force with his hand, intending to drag Ethan out.
“Hmm!” Before he could take a step, Logan felt that the sensation in his hand was off.
Looking at Ethan in confusion, Logan exerted force again, only to find that let alone dragging Ethan out, the kid’s figure hadn’t even budged.
He had a misconception, which was that the kid in front of him was not a person, but a giant rock, and his strength was like a mud ox entering the sea, completely ineffective.
And that was indeed the case.
Ethan manipulated the vectors, dispersing the direction of Logan’s force used to drag him throughout the entire room.
Thus, unless Logan had the strength to lift the entire laboratory, he wouldn’t be able to move Ethan an inch.
“Ethan, we will handle this matter.
You should go back,” Storm said, trying to mediate.
“Handle it?
But I feel like you’re already in a mess and about to fall apart.” Ethan grabbed Logan’s hand in reverse and, under Logan’s incredulous gaze, dragged him in front of Professor X.
“Then you should go back, because if you get involved, it will only make things worse,” Cyclops looked up and said with a frown.
“Oh, even if I have a way to cure Professor, it’s still no good?” “What did you say?
You can cure Professor.” Hearing this, Cyclops immediately stood up, grabbing Ethan and saying excitedly.
The others also looked over, waiting for Ethan’s explanation.
“Oh, although I already have some idea, but to be safe, first tell me the reason for Professor’s coma.” Being stared at by everyone, Ethan said with an unchanging expression.
“Then let me explain.” Jean stepped forward at this moment.
She rarely went on missions, mostly handling the internal affairs of the academy.
“You should have heard from others in the school that Professor has a Cerebro device that can amplify Professor’s psychic power, allowing him to search for Mutants over a large area.
And because Magneto snatched Rogue, Professor, guessing Magneto’s plan, urgently used Cerebro, but Cerebro had been tampered with.” “By whom?” Ethan asked in confusion.
“Mystique, Magneto’s right-hand woman.
She can perfectly disguise herself as anyone.
She quietly snuck in while we were focused on finding Rogue.” Jean brought up a video, in which another Jean arrived at the Cerebro room.
Then, under everyone’s gaze, she half-squatted and transformed into Professor X’s appearance, successfully deceiving the Cerebro room’s security equipment.
“Can you really cure Professor?” After explaining the problem, Jean couldn’t help but ask one more question.
“Not 100%, but I’m about 80% confident.” After understanding that the problem was similar to what he already knew, Ethan gave a cautious answer.
“My ability is very special; it allows me to perceive an energy-based World, which I call the Vector World.
Therefore, I can detect the abnormality in Professor’s brain.” Ethan said, gently placing his hand on Professor’s forehead, then closed his eyes.
“Professor’s psychic power is very strong, and because Cerebro malfunctioned, his psychic power became chaotic when it was released.
Now, in Professor’s brain, several powerful psychic forces are conflicting with each other, which is the ultimate reason for Professor’s loss of consciousness.
And I can control vectors to calm these conflicting psychic forces.” Ethan said, letting go of his hand and opening his eyes to look at everyone.
“Of course, this is just my guess.
As for whether I should act, it depends on your decision.” Cyclops, standing nearby, looked at Professor and fell silent, but at this moment Jean walked in front of Cyclops and whispered in his ear; “Perhaps we can let him try.
Professor’s condition is unclear now; perhaps he will wake up tomorrow, perhaps… he never will…” Listening to Jean’s words, and recalling Professor X’s high praise for Ethan earlier, Cyclops gritted his teeth and finally nodded in agreement.
“Then let’s begin.
Although I’m only calming a few rampaging psychic powers in Professor’s brain, it’s not a precise operation, but after all, this is the brain, so when I act, I hope there will be fewer disturbances.” Ethan made his request.
“Okay, I’ll have them all leave, but I must stay here to prevent any accidents with Professor,” Cyclops replied.
Looking at the determined Cyclops, Ethan finally nodded.
“Okay.” .———————————————————————————————————————
