Charles, full name Charles Xavier, was Suzanne's godfather. He was also a super rich man on par with Stark and Wayne.
Of course, just like how Stark was Iron Man and Wayne was Batman, other than being rich, he also had a very powerful identity.
He owned a school called "Xavier Academy for Gifted Youths", and the students in this school were all mutants. In addition to being the principal of this school, Charles was also the leader of the moderate mutants, known as "Professor X."
The first time Suzanne knew of the existence of this godfather was the day her family was discharged from the hospital and met with a car accident.
At that time, she was just a week old and couldn't even see clearly. She lay comfortably in her mother's soft and fragrant arms, yawning as she listened in a daze to her mother's conversation with her father who was driving.
This pair of fresh out of the oven idiot parents were arguing about what kind of toys to buy for their little princess, what kind of clothes to wear, what brand of milk powder to drink, what kind of kindergarten to go to … and a series of messy things. As they talked, they even talked about her relationship and boyfriend that she didn't even have a shadow of.
Suzanne heard her mother's groundless fears say, "I must teach our baby Suzie well. She can't be like me, who went to college without a relationship and ended up marrying a fool like you who doesn't understand romance at all."
Her father's attitude was very firm. "No, Fanny, I will never allow my little princess to fall in love at such a young age. Even if she graduates from college, her love partner must go through me. If some brat secretly wants to steal her away, then I … "
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a sudden loud noise. Their car began to roll violently, and soon a sense of weightlessness came over them. Suzanne, who was tightly held in her mother's arms, blacked out and completely fainted amidst the terrified screams of the men and women.
In the countless years that followed, Suzanne had always wondered what her father's unfinished sentence was.
She thought it should be something like "I must teach him a lesson" or "I want to duel with him". Unfortunately, no matter how many times she filled in the blanks, she would never be able to get the correct answer.
Because when she woke up in the hospital, Jessica told her that their car fell off the overpass. Jessica's protection helped her escape the disaster. Unfortunately, her parents in this life were seriously injured and died on the spot.
Upon hearing this news, for the first time since she was born, Suzanne burst into tears like a real baby.
She cried until she was out of breath. Her brain was short of oxygen, and she almost fainted from crying.
Just as she completely ignored the nurse's coaxing and wailed to vent her grief over the loss of her parents, a pair of broad and warm hands took her into an embrace.
At the same time, a warm and gentle male voice rang in her ears. "Don't cry, Sweetheart. I'm your godfather, Charles Xavier. I'm here to take you home."
Charles took her back to his home. Before she was taken away by Aunt Annie, he kept her by his side and took care of her.
On the day of parting, Suzanne could finally see things clearly. She saw her godfather for the first time.
He had golden brown hair, a handsome face, and a pair of beautiful and soft cornflower-like blue eyes that left the deepest impression in her mind.
The second time Suzanne saw Charles was when she was five years old.
She remembered very clearly that it was a very sunny afternoon. The sky was blue, and there were only a few cotton-candy-like white clouds floating slowly above.
In order to avoid the energetic Sherlock, she climbed into the huge summer oak tree in the backyard to hide.
At that time, Sherlock had already begun to develop his current annoying appearance. He spoke directly, never remembered things that he thought were unimportant, was more curious than the sky, and particularly liked to get to the bottom of things.
The reason why he pestered Suzanne was that from the first day she came to Holmes' house, Suzanne didn't hide the fact that she wasn't a real baby.
Not to mention that Jessica's existence had already made her very unusual, she was also clear that the experience of being an Asian in her previous life must have engraved an indelible mark in her soul.
It was something that couldn't be hidden at all.
It was futile to pretend, especially in front of the family that she got along with day and night. What's more, her family was Holmes.
There was no fool in Holmes' family. On the contrary, except for Suzanne, who was an ordinary person, they were all very smart.
But they all tacitly ignored the abnormalities that Suzanne showed, and only treated her as an ordinary daughter and sister — except for Sherlock.
Sherlock was very interested in Suzanne's abnormality and wanted to figure out what was going on with her. But he enjoyed the process of searching for the truth very much. He was never willing to ask Suzanne directly, but only observed her and did a series of experiments on her to confirm his inference.
— — Suzanne couldn't bear it and was very annoyed.
At that time, if Jessica hadn't been able to break in with the world and could only protect Suzanne from being hurt, but couldn't start the rebound function at all, Sherlock's death-seeking spirit would make Suzanne wonder what he would become.
So, since she could run and jump, she played a game of hide-and-seek with Sherlock.
Of course, most of the time, she lost and was caught by him, so she had to obediently cooperate with his experiments — even if she lived a lifetime longer.
Intelligence was something that didn't make sense. The few times she won, it was because of Mcauliffe's help _ (: 3J ∠) _.
So, this time, she thought that the person who found her would be Sherlock again, but in the end, it was Aunt Annie. Aunt Annie was pushing a wheelchair, and a handsome middle-aged man was sitting on it.
Under Aunt Annie's call, Suzanne obediently climbed down from the oak tree.
Holmes was already used to her climbing the tree. But even though she knew that she wouldn't hurt herself, Aunt Annie still couldn't control herself and scolded her.
After all, this behavior was very dangerous for a five year old child — — she was worried that Suzanne's ability would fail one day.
But Aunt Annie only said a few words because she didn't forget that she had brought a guest.
She squatted down and kept her eyes level with Suzanne's. She gestured in the direction of the man and said gently, "Suzie, this is Professor Charles Xavier. He's also your godfather. Do you remember him?"
Suzanne nodded. "I remember him."
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked into the professor's cornflower blue eyes. "I remember you, Charles. I still remember that I lived with you for a while when I was just born. Thank you for taking care of me. "
Charles's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, then they were filled with guilt. He bent down and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, Sweetheart. I haven't been able to visit you for the past five years because of some things."
"It's okay, Charles." The little girl shook her head and put her hand on his knee. She smiled sweetly. "Although we haven't seen each other for five years, I get to receive gifts from you every holiday. It's great. I like them very much. Really. "
Very quickly, Aunt Annie left the scene, leaving them some space to talk.
The professor turned his wheelchair, and Suzanne walked beside him. The two of them strolled slowly in the backyard.
Suzanne asked first, "Charles, how did you become my godfather?"
The professor smiled fondly. "I'm your father's good friend. We were classmates at Harvard University. We had a good relationship at that time. Later, your father helped me a little, and our relationship became even better. As for becoming your godfather — — "
"After your father got together with your mother, he suggested this to me during one of our gatherings." He lowered his head and stopped turning the wheelchair. He said to Suzanne seriously, "I'm very lucky to be your godfather, Sweetheart."
Suzanne turned to the front of the wheelchair and stood one step away from him.
The little girl raised her face and looked into Charles's eyes. She answered seriously, "I'm also very lucky to be your goddaughter, Charles. It's my fortune to have such an outstanding person as you as my godfather. "
"Sweetheart, I'm a mutant." Charles suddenly said, "Well … Do you know about mutants?"
Suzanne knew a little about what mutants were. Although at this time, Jessica was still in the run-in period and couldn't hack into the more complicated network, it wasn't difficult to get some not-so-secret information.
What's more, when she was born, the mutated humans had caused a huge ruckus because of the Sentinels.
Suzanne didn't know that Charles was a mutant at first, but she wasn't surprised to hear that now.
As early as at the beginning of the time travel, the people of the Time Authority had told her that there would always be some people with superpowers in this world, and it was very dangerous. Because of this, she could get Jessica as compensation.
There were so many strange people and abilities in this world. It wasn't surprising that Charles was one of them.
She nodded and said, "I know."
Charles didn't ask how she knew, but continued, "I know that you have some unusual abilities, although you're not a mutant."
Suzanne didn't deny it, but she was curious. "Charles, how do you know?" She didn't seem to show any abnormalities in front of him.
The professor pointed to his head, "I can read minds."
"Wow, cool." Suzanne asked with starry eyes, "Do you know what I'm thinking now?"
"I'm sorry, Sweetheart, I don't know." Charles shook his head, "This is why I found you unusual — I can't hear your thoughts and inner voice."
Suzanne nodded without surprise, knowing that it was Jessica's masterpiece.
The professor continued, "I founded a school, and the students in it are all mutants. Like you, they have a little unusual ability, but it doesn't prevent them from being good children. I believe that you will become good friends. "
