For the first time, Ébourg experienced what it meant to be dumbfounded.
"..." he raised his head and looked at Erik in a daze,
His eyes were full of astonishment.
My child..,
What gave you this wrong understanding?
In Erik's eyes, Ébourg's astonishment was completely turned into shock when he heard the news. After all, no one would be calm about such a thing,
Not to mention that Ébourg was just a child.
Erik's eyes revealed a rare trace of affection. He reached out his hand and silently stroked Ébourg's hair,
"Don't be afraid,
You'll know that what I said is true soon. "
"Uh... but I don't think so..." Ébourg said hesitantly.
"I know this may be a little shocking for you, but Ébourg,
As a man,
You must be able to remain calm in the face of anything. "Eric revealed his signature shark smile.
"Look, how similar we are."
Ébourg: "..." So this is the reason why you randomly recognize relatives?
"Wait, a man?!" Wollen's eyes suddenly widened. He raised his voice in disbelief,
"A man?"
Ébourg looked at him in confusion,
"Wollen?"
"You, you, you..." Wollen looked at Ébourg carefully and finally found many things that he had been ignoring. For example, Ébourg's neutral voice,
For example, his masculine name,
"You're a boy?"
Ébourg hummed. "Sort of."
Wollen's expression suddenly looked as if he had been struck by lightning.
"What, you didn't always think that Ébourg was a girl, did you?" Erik revealed a sarcastic smile and looked at him condescendingly,
"Now you know Ébourg's gender,
You finally know how to retreat in the face of difficulties. "
"I won't retreat in the face of difficulties!" Wollen retorted him reflexively,
Then, he suddenly realized what he had said and turned to look at Ébourg's expression.
As expected, Abel stared at him with his mouth wide open in shock.
Wollen: "…" He was in a daze. Did the relationship end before it even started?
Charles and Hank, who were watching the show: "…"
Charles coughed and said, "Erik, you haven't forgotten what you came here for, right?"
"Of course." Erik, whose attention was finally drawn back, turned around and walked towards Hank like a rooster who had won a fight. Of course, he didn't forget to extend his hand to Ébourg and lead him over.
The test results hadn't come out yet, but he was already immersed in his fatherly state.
Hank had already put on disposable gloves and prepared the equipment. He looked at the two and said, "Actually, for mutants, the DNA test isn't accurate. After all, our abilities come from our genetic mutations, so it's very likely that our chromosomes will also change, and it's impossible to predict when these changes will happen. For example, some mutants are born with their abilities, while some are awakened after birth, so I can't guarantee that the DNA test will be accurate. It's very likely that it will be useless."
In the end, he asked, "So, are you sure you want to do the test?"
"Yes." Erik said without hesitation, "This is just Charles's suggestion, but I actually don't care about this because I feel that Ébourg is my son. After all, we are so similar."
"And since you said so, it's very likely that the test is wrong, so I don't care about this test because I've already confirmed it."
Ébourg: "…"
Ébourg held back, but still couldn't help but say, "I don't think you are."
"You don't believe me?" Erik turned to look at him.
Ébourg shook his head and said, "I know who my … Well, who's my father, is, it's not you."
"Then where is he?" Erik lowered his eyes and asked, "Where is he?"
"He has something to do, and he can't bring me along." Ébourg thought about what Annihilation the Father said to him and said seriously, "He said he would come back to see me."
Erik said, "You've been in Peter Parker's house for half a month, and here for a month, and no one has come to see you. That person has never tried to find you or contact you."
As one of the five gods in the universe, Annihilation the Father was very busy every day. How could he come to see him in just a month and a half? Moreover, he had been gone for billions of years. To him, to Ébourg, it was just a blink of an eye. Who would care about such a small amount of time?
Ébourg anxiously explained, "He's very busy. He just doesn't have time for now, so he won't come to see me. When I'm an adult, he will definitely come!"
At this moment, everyone in the room looked at Abel in a strange way. What kind of father would leave his six-year-old child to wander alone without caring about him?
Especially since Ébourg was a mutant. There were many cases of mutants being abandoned, so it was easy for everyone to understand what was going on. But what they didn't expect was that Ébourg had been naively believing that person's words. Did he really think that the other party was too busy and left him outside? Would take him back sooner or later?
Erik took a deep breath. His heart was full of resentment towards the father that Ébourg spoke of.
Erik forced himself to relax and soften his expression. He put his hands on Ébourg's shoulders and looked into his eyes. "But I'm actually your biological father. That person just got custody of you for some reason, but he abandoned you now."
Charles: "Erik!"
"He doesn't want you anymore, you know? He's not very busy, he just doesn't want you anymore. "Erik ignored Charles and cruelly told him the truth." He doesn't want you anymore. "
Ébourg's eyes widened. "Are you kidding me?"
Although Annihilation was called the Father God, that was only because he had given Ébourg a new life. In fact, Ébourg didn't belong to Annihilation. Ébourg belonged to Earth, so there was never any question of whether Ébourg and Annihilation belonged to each other. So to Ébourg, Erik's words made no sense.
But Ébourg's reaction made others think that he was upset by the truth and was unwilling to accept it.
"Erik!" Charles moved his wheelchair forward and stood between the two. He looked at Erik warningly and said sternly, "What are you doing? How can you say something like that?! "
Even Wollen looked at Erik in disbelief. He thought that his impression of Erik was bad enough, but he didn't expect it to get worse. He didn't expect this person to say something like that to Ébourg.
Hank walked forward and put his arm around Ébourg's shoulder to keep him away from Erik. He was very worried that Ébourg would lose control of his emotions and comforted him. "Ébourg, I don't think it's suitable for you to do a paternity test now. Let me take you back to your room to rest."
Erik looked at Charles stubbornly. "He has to know the truth. Even if he's only six years old, he looks like he's almost an adult. He'll have to accept all of this sooner or later."
Wollen: "…" Wait, what does six years old mean???!
"But all of this can't happen so suddenly." Charles took a deep breath and said, "Let's go out and talk now!"
Fortunately, Erik didn't insist on talking here this time. He took a deep look at Ébourg and turned to leave.
"Wait."
Everyone paused and turned to look at Ébourg.
Ébourg said with a complicated expression, "Let's do the test. Let's do it now."
Otherwise, who knew how long this damn child would pester them.
He had never seen such a serious case of brain patching!
He had to let them know who was the real father!
Charles looked at him worriedly. "Ébourg, you don't have to force yourself …"
"I'm not forcing you," Ébourg said. "I just want to solve this quickly."
He looked at Hank. "Let's start."
Hank glared at Erik and then turned to get the blood needle. He said, "I need some of your blood. It won't hurt."
"My 'blood'?" Ébourg frowned. "How much do you need? At most … I can give you one drop."
In recent years, due to global warming, the global precipitation was mismatched, the glaciers and frozen ground melted, and the sea level rose. Although it created a wider living environment for marine life, it was undoubtedly a threat to terrestrial life. Therefore, if a drop of his' blood 'was extracted, it wouldn't be a bad thing to cause a small drop in the sea level. However, if it was too much, it wouldn't work.
Everything on Earth was evolving. Whether it was good or bad, it was something they should experience. However, if there were problems because of him, then it was absolutely not allowed.
"One drop is enough."
In fact, for mutated humans, any part of their DNA was not easy to be obtained by others. In the past, the government almost used Rui Wen's blood to make a weapon to eliminate mutated humans. Therefore, even when Hank examined Ébourg the last few times, he didn't think of doing a blood test.
However, this was a DNA test after all, and with the consent of the owner, so Hank carefully extracted a drop of Ébourg's blood.
Then, he found that Ébourg's blood was a transparent and colorless liquid.
However, Hank didn't express any surprise because mutated humans had all kinds of genetic mutations. Their appearance could change, and the color of their blood wasn't the only case. There was even a student in the school whose blood was green.
Erik also came over and had his blood taken. Then, Hank took it for DNA testing.
The remaining four people fell into silence.
Wollen looked at Ébourg from the corner of his eyes, then looked away with hesitation. He looked to the side, then looked away with hesitation. After a few times, he finally mustered up the courage to say something to Ébourg. Then, he heard a 'bang!' and the door was opened.
The four people immediately turned their heads and saw a red and white figure standing in front of them.
Pietro's eyes lit up when he saw Ébourg, and he shouted, "Ébourg!"
"Where is Ébourg?" Wanda was holding a teddy bear in her arms, trying to look around, but she couldn't find the little cutie, so she asked anxiously, "Where is Ébourg?"
Quicksilver walked towards Ébourg with two shopping bags of snacks in his hand. "This is Ébourg."
Wanda looked at her long-haired 'sister' who looked younger than her and was stunned. "Ébourg? Brother? "
"Uh … Ébourg's hair is a bit long." Pietro said, "He had an accident a few days ago, so … well, he grew a bit."
"… Oh." Wanda was stunned for a while before she reacted. She put the teddy bear in her hand into Ébourg's hand and said, "Hello, I am Wanda, Pietro's sister. This is a gift for you."
"Hello." Ébourg was stunned holding the teddy bear, then he tilted his head and introduced himself, "I am Ébourg."
Ébourg's crooked head instantly hit Wanda's soft little heart. She suddenly showed a pitiful expression, and her heart was full of love.
"Ébourg! Look at the delicious food I bought for you! "Pietro carried a bag of snacks to Ébourg to take credit." It's all for you! "
Ébourg immediately showed a surprised expression. "Pietro, you are so good!"
Pietro smiled.
When Charles saw this scene, the depression in his heart suddenly disappeared a lot. He smiled and said, "Wanda, welcome to X Academy."
"Professor." Wanda immediately put away her expression, nodded at him, and said calmly, "I came here today specifically for Ébourg. I hope you can allow me to enroll."
"Of course, child, all mutants can come here to study." Charles said with a smile, then he asked in confusion, "But why are you here specifically for Ébourg?"
Wanda suddenly showed an expression of high fighting spirit. She turned to Erik next to her and said firmly, "I am here to take custody of Ébourg!"
Everyone: "…"
