"How could you do that?!"
After a short moment of stunned silence, Pietro was the first to react. He yelled at Erik, and then rushed to pick up Ébourg who had fallen on the ground. "I am so disappointed in you!"
Before leaving, Pietro could not help but look at Erik in shock and disappointment. The latter was at a loss.
Erik reached out his hand blankly. "Wait, there seems to be a misunderstanding. I can explain..."
But Pietro did not give him a chance to explain at all. In the blink of an eye, he ran away and disappeared.
Charles took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I want to hear what your explanation is."
Erik was speechless. He had a bad feeling.
...
Ébourg was rushed to the infirmary. Along the way, Pietro did not wake Ébourg up, which made Pietro even more worried.
When Pietro put Ébourg on the bed in the infirmary, Hank was still not there. After all, even if Hank turned into a beast, he was not as fast as Pietro. So when Pietro was anxiously waiting, Hank was still running in the corridor.
Pietro was very anxious. He ran to the corridor and found Hank, and then took him to the infirmary.
"Oh, thank you..." Hank's glasses were crooked in the process. He fixed them and quickly walked to the bed to check Ébourg.
The waiting process was unconsciously long. Pietro did not dare to disturb Hank, and could only anxiously run in circles in the corridor. When the professor arrived, Hank was still not done with the examination.
Professor Charles was followed by Magneto and Erik Rancier.
"What are you doing here?" Pietro stared at him.
"Don't be like this, Pietro," Professor Charles said impartially. "The matter has not been investigated clearly."
Pietro retracted his gaze angrily. His heart was cold.
His biological father was a bastard, and as a biological son, his mood was really terrible.
Peter even said that he would give you a chance! If he knew that you treated Ébourg like this, wouldn't he be heartbroken?
Erik was also very innocent. He was eating in his own room, but these two retards just had to disturb him. When one of them finally left, the other one even tricked him into going to S.H.I.E.L.D.. Not only did he almost get caught, but at the very least, he stole a treasure of unknown attributes. In the end, before the treasure could even warm up in his hands, it was taken by the other party. He had to guard two lousy stones and face the charge of intentional injury.
Erik felt that he was definitely going against the trend recently!
After a long time, Hank finished the examination. The first thing he said was, "He wasn't hit in the head."
Erik's innocence was immediately cleared, and Erik instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"But …" Hank frowned. "All his indicators are normal, and he didn't suffer any attacks. I can't find out why he fainted at all."
Everyone turned to look at Erik.
Erik's spirit trembled.
Hank asked, "What exactly happened to Ébourg?"
He tricked me, Erik thought. He had never met such a naughty child in his life.
Although he thought this, Erik still recounted everything that happened today and told his own guess. "He fainted after eating that gem, so is there a problem with that stone?"
Pietro immediately stood up and said nervously, "Gem? Small stone? Could Ébourg be stuck? "
"No." Hank immediately denied this guess. "I've checked his body. There are no foreign objects in his body."
Pietro held the phone and was very conflicted. "Peter just went back. Should I tell him about this?"
Professor Charles looked at the sky outside. It was already dark, and the sunset had almost disappeared. It would be dark soon. Charles hesitated and asked, "Did Ébourg have any other symptoms other than fainting?"
Hank shook his head. "No."
"Then we'll tell Peter tomorrow." Charles said, "It's going to be dark soon. If he rushes over, it won't be safe."
"I think you'd better investigate what the Rubik's Cube is. S.H.E.L.D. and the aliens want it." Erik leaned against the wall and crossed his arms. "And I can't guarantee that no one will discover the two of us."
Charles frowned. "This is indeed a problem."
He pondered for a moment. "Hank, you go and analyze the two remaining stones first. See if there are any clues."
"Okay." Hank nodded. "Although Ébourg is only unconscious, I think it's better for someone to keep watch overnight."
"I'll do it." The little angel Pietro immediately raised his hand. "I'll keep watch overnight."
"Okay." Charles nodded and then steered the wheelchair outside. "Erik, come with me."
Erik raised his eyebrows and followed.
Everyone split up. Except for Pietro who volunteered to keep watch overnight, even Hank hurriedly went to analyze the remaining stones.
Pietro walked around the bed and wrinkled his cheeks. He sat on the stool beside the bed and stared at Ébourg's face with his hands supporting his chin. Guilt overflowed from his eyes.
Although Erik's innocence had been cleared, Pietro still believed that Erik had a certain degree of responsibility. In Pietro's view, not allowing a child to eat a foreign object was basically an experiment. And Magneto had raised a child before, so there was no way he didn't know this. But he still watched Ébourg eat the small gem. Pietro couldn't help but think that Magneto was testing Ébourg's ability, so he allowed Ébourg to do what he wanted.
And even if he didn't want to acknowledge Magneto for the time being, he knew that he was his biological father. His father had made a mistake, and as his son, Pietro felt that he should be responsible.
Pietro felt that his sister, Wanda, would be disappointed in Magneto.
"Alas..."
Pietro sighed. He was in a very bad mood.
Ébourg was quietly lying on the hospital bed. His long black hair was spread out on the white pillow, creating a sharp contrast. His small face was also pale.
Pietro carefully observed Ébourg and found that Ébourg's eyelashes were long, like two small fans. Suddenly, Pietro narrowed his eyes and moved his head down until his eyes were parallel to Ébourg's face. Then he was surprised to find that although Ébourg also had baby fat, his facial features were in fact angular. If he looked carefully, he would find that the curve of his face was like a continuous mountain peak.
Pietro blinked hard. He felt that there must be something wrong with his eyes. It was a normal thing to have concave and convex facial features, but he actually thought that it was a mountain peak. Pietro laughed at his own stupidity and looked again. Then he found that the strange similarity just now was indeed an illusion.
Pietro rubbed his eyes hard and yawned on the bed.
...
Loki escaped from S.H.E.L.D. with Hawkeye and a group of agents and researchers under his control. They sat in a stolen off-road vehicle and rushed all the way to the secret base prepared by Loki.
Sitting in the car, Loki's face was gloomy. The people around him were wise enough to ignore him.
The people who studied the Tesseract were controlled by him, and the instruments used to study the Tesseract were stolen by him. However, the Tesseract was missing. This was not what he had planned.
Rocky, who thought that his plan was foolproof, clenched his teeth and gripped his scepter tightly. He ordered, "Go find it. Everyone, use everything you have to find it. You must find the Tesseract!"
"Yes!"
On the other side, in the S.H.E.L.D. headquarters that had just been ransacked by Loki, Director Nick had just finished bandaging his wounds and returned to his office when Hill knocked on his office door.
"Come in," Nick looked up at Hill and asked: "Did you get the surveillance footage?"
"No." Hill frowned: "That's an undiscovered blind spot, and it's also the only blind spot. The surveillance footage didn't capture anything other than a pair of slippers."
"And that corner is too remote and inconspicuous. If you're not familiar with the area, you won't be able to find that location."
"You mean …" Nick looked at her and tapped his finger on the table, "There's a mole in S.H.E.L.D.?"
"I can't guarantee it." Hill calmly said: "But that corner isn't accessible to the average person. Even I didn't know it was a blind spot."
Nick looked down. His eyes were so deep that no one could tell what he was thinking. He tapped his finger on the table again and again. Finally, he stopped and said: "Investigate."
"Investigate everyone in S.H.E.L.D., find out who's behind this."
"Also." Nick paused: "… Investigate the model and manufacturer of that pair of slippers. Then find out who bought the same pair of slippers."
How arrogant! How dare they come to S.H.E.L.D. to cause trouble with S.H.E.L.D. in slippers! We must find out who's the arrogant bastard!
…
The sun rose from the east and set in the west. The night was dark and the moonlight shone. X Academy fell into silence. Everyone had fallen into a deep sleep.
Pietro groaned and opened his eyes in a daze.
He was hungry.
He forgot to eat last night and woke up hungry.
Pietro rubbed his stomach with one hand and rubbed his eyes with the other. He yawned loudly and stood up. "There should be food in the kitchen fridge …"
Pietro mumbled as he walked out. As he walked out, he glanced at the bed to see if Ébourg had woken up.
Hmm, Ébourg? Ébourg? Where's Ébourg?!
Pietro instantly woke up. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the bed. There were only sheets and pillows left on the empty bed. Ébourg was nowhere to be seen. Pietro immediately searched the infirmary, but it was empty. There was no one else.
Pietro suddenly thought of something and touched Ébourg's blanket.
It was still warm. He hadn't been gone for long.
Pietro was anxious. He sped up and ran around the entire castle. Even after running a second lap, he still couldn't find Ébourg. He almost went to the ladies' room to search again.
Ébourg was gone again.
Pietro was so scared that he didn't care that it was the middle of the night. He shouted in the corridor.
"Ébourg is gone!"
