For some reason, the surveillance video of the Captain America Memorial Museum was circulated until that night. The news of Magneto, Spider-man, and Captain America defeating the terrorists in the museum quickly spread to the Internet. Netizens were shocked that Magneto had actually saved someone, and they were also surprised that a new Spider-man had appeared in New York.
While people were fervently discussing whether Magneto still had a conscience, the talkative little hero, Spider-man, who had contributed to the attack, was also completely popular.
After all, Spider-man was only active in Queens for the time being. Furthermore, he had only debuted a few days ago, so he was not very well-known. Now that he was suddenly exposed, he was simply exploding in popularity. Almost the entire Internet knew about the existence of Spider-man.
The next morning, Peter was overwhelmed by the overwhelming number of tweets on his phone when he turned on his phone.
Peter stared at his phone, unable to believe his eyes.
Peter rubbed his eyes hard, then jumped out of bed and shouted excitedly at Ébourg, who was at a loss, "Oh my God, Ébourg! I'm exploding in popularity! Look, everyone on the Internet is talking about Spider-man! "
Peter jumped and jumped excitedly. He jumped and spun around in a circle, then said excitedly to Ébourg, "Maybe I'll have my own fans! Do you think I should apply for a Twitter account and post some photos of Spider-man every day? Maybe a lot of people will like it. I can show them a short video of me swinging spider silk in the air, and I can do somersaults on the roof. Oh, right! I can't go boxing anymore. I can't let everyone know that I'm actually boxing in the underground boxing arena as a superhero … "
Peter had been boxing in the underground boxing arena recently. If he won, he would get a large sum of money. This made Peter a lot richer recently.
Ébourg smiled as he listened to Peter talk non-stop. When Peter was finally willing to stop, he said softly, "Congratulations, Peter. Everyone will definitely like you."
"Thank you, Ébourg." Peter quickly said, "I'm so happy. Oh my God, this is great!"
Just as Ébourg thought that Peter would continue speaking, Peter suddenly froze on the spot. His expression was blank for a few seconds, and he stood there without moving.
Ébourg looked at him in confusion. He jumped off the bed, floated up, and waved his small hand in front of his eyes.
Peter's eyes returned to focus. He took the opportunity to hug Ébourg, but he still didn't say anything.
A minute later, Peter finally came back to his senses. He jumped up with Abel in his arms and said with a smile, "Abel, your future principal is coming for you!"
…
Charles Xavier had just finished class that day. He was about to take his textbooks back to the principal's office when Hank came looking for him.
"Rui Wen contacted me." Hank said slightly happily, "She said that she found a little mutant and wants us to bring him to school."
Rui Wen gave them a rough location. Hank pushed Charles to the Strongest Brain to find the child.
In the end, they found him in an apartment on Fifth Avenue in Queens.
In front of the most telepathic mutant, Charles Xavier, as long as he put on the brainwave amplifier, all the mutants would be displayed clearly in his brain, letting Charles know that it was a mutant.
But this child was a little different.
He was indeed as bright as other mutants, but too bright. He was like a huge luminous object, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes. And what was incredible was that even though he was so bright, if Charles didn't look for him carefully in his location, he wouldn't have noticed his existence at all.
It was as if he could be covered up.
Charles boldly guessed that this child was a very powerful mutant, which was why he was so unique.
At that time, Abel was lying on his stomach on the bed, reading a manga. His two white and tender little feet were sticking up, swaying back and forth. Just as Raven had said, he was a very small child.
But fortunately, Charles didn't see any sadness or haze in his eyes. This was a little mutant who had never been persecuted.
Just when Charles wanted to enter Ébourg's brain to talk to him and invite him to his mutant school, Charles again found that he couldn't invade his brain.
Charles was only stunned for a moment. After all, it was difficult for him to find him with telepathy, so it was not surprising that he could defend against his ability.
So in the end, Charles could only compromise and choose the child's "brother."
Rui Wen said that the child's brother was helping the child find a mutant school.
Charles and Peter had a short conversation in their minds and agreed to meet at the park near the apartment at three o 'clock in the afternoon. It was the park that Ébourg said he wanted to go to before.
At first, the park was under maintenance, then Peter had to go to class, so he didn't take Ébourg there. Now, he finally had the opportunity to take him there.
Peter took Ébourg to the park an hour in advance. The two of them built sandcastles and swings in the park and had a lot of fun.
When Charles and Hank arrived, Peter was playing with Ébourg on a seesaw. Ébourg sat on one end, and Peter sat on the other end. Peter sat down hard, and Ébourg was lifted up high on the other end.
Ébourg laughed heartily, and the corners of his mouth were at the same level as his ears.
Charles/Hank: … It felt a little familiar.
Peter saw them coming out of the corner of his eye and quickly got off the seesaw. He carried Ébourg off the seesaw and walked toward the two of them.
Ébourg didn't stop smiling. He smiled at Peter and said, "Peter, do you know? You did something that Archimedes couldn't do. "
Peter looked at him inexplicably. Obviously, he didn't understand what Ébourg meant. However, there was no time for him to think about it because the teachers of the Mutants School had finally arrived.
However, the innocent little Peter missed the moment when he was closest to the truth.
"Hello, I am Charles Xavier, the principal of the Xavier Academy for Gifted Youths. This is the school's chemistry teacher, Hank." Charles was wearing a three-piece dark suit. Even though he was in a wheelchair, he was still talking and laughing. His words made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.
"Hello, I am Peter, Peter Parker." Peter hugged Ébourg and said, "This is Ébourg."
Ébourg looked at the two of them curiously with a childishness unique to children.
Hank stood next to Charles with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his face. He looked at Ébourg gently and elegantly. When he met the latter's curious gaze, he would show a friendly smile.
Peter looked at the two of them nervously and asked, "Are you really Mutants too?"
"Of course." Charles smiled and said, "You've seen my ability before, haven't you?"
"Uh, yes, I just want to make sure." Peter pursed his lips. "Are you really willing to accept Ébourg? I mean, he's still very young, and you're a school for youths … "
Charles showed a comforting smile and said warmly, "Yes, of course we will accept him. We are willing to help all our compatriots."
"Great!" Peter immediately smiled and said, "This is great!"
Charles smiled and then asked, "Are you Ébourg's biological brother? You don't look very much alike? "
Charles had been through a lot over the years. He was no longer as reckless as he used to be. He had become gentle and introverted. If it wasn't a special situation, he wouldn't randomly search someone's brain without the other's permission.
Peter paused for a moment. He bent down and put Ébourg on the ground and said to Ébourg, "Ébourg, can you help me get the small shovel and small bucket in the sand? We'll be going home soon. "
"Okay." Ébourg agreed softly and immediately ran to the sand with his short legs.
Charles and Hank looked at each other.
When Ébourg was far away and Peter felt that he couldn't hear their conversation, Peter continued, "I'm not his biological brother. I just found him in an alley. He … he was abandoned there by his father. He was alone and didn't even have a piece of clothing. I didn't dare let my uncle and aunt know his identity, so I lied that he was my friend's brother and asked me to take care of him for a while … I don't understand why his parents abandoned him. Is it because he's a mutant?"
Charles and Hank immediately stopped smiling.
Charles heard the angry teenager say, "Ébourg is really a good boy. He never does things that trouble others. He's never willful, never throws a tantrum, never asks for anything, and he's considerate of others. He's so well-behaved that he doesn't seem like a six-year-old child. I can't imagine what kind of life he used to have to develop such a personality. He's as cute as a little angel. Don't they feel sorry for him?!"
"I'm sorry, child." Charles sighed and said, "There will always be some ordinary people in this world who don't want to accept the existence of mutants. But I'm very happy that Ébourg met you. You've taken good care of him."
"We'll definitely give him the best education." Hank promised, "He'll grow up normally and happily like other people. We promise."
Charles nodded. "Yes, we promise."
Peter exhaled and relaxed. He pursed his lips and said, "… I don't know how much your school's tuition fee is. I've saved some money …"
Peter had won some money from the underground boxing ring, but he couldn't directly give it to Benshu and Aunt Mei because he couldn't explain the source of the money. So, he had been saving it and wanted to help pay for Ébourg's tuition fee when he found a school for mutants.
"No, no, no, child. There's no tuition fee." Charles quickly said, "All the children enroll in the Xavier Academy for Gifted Youths don't have to pay any tuition fee. We just want to help our kind to have a better life."
Peter was obviously stunned for a moment. "Well, thank you. I mean, thank you so much."
After a pause, he hesitated and said, "Can I go take a look at the school?"
Peter was still a little worried. After all, no matter how good the other party said it was, he hadn't seen Ébourg before. He really didn't feel comfortable leaving it to them.
