Of course, Issou didn't know what Steve was thinking.
After all, she didn't know that she had dug a hole for herself by asking him for nude photos the first time they met. She only glanced at him casually.
That was all it took for him to get the wrong idea.
But it didn't matter if she knew. After all, because of Wanda and Pietro, she was forced to become a big idiot.
It wasn't that hard to accept the fact that she had a milk-filled persona … What the hell!
Back to the topic at hand. She didn't know what Steve was thinking.
She saw his reaction.
She thought that he understood what she meant.
So she said, "Actually, Jean and I can go back on our own. I think you guys have a lot of things to deal with, right?"
Issou didn't know, but he knew that The Avengers wouldn't just disband after killing the monsters.
They would go back to their own homes and find their own mothers.
In fact, that was indeed the case.
Although the operation was successful, they still had to go back and report on the operation. Not to mention that most of the Hydra they arrested this time were undercover operatives who had escaped from S.H.E.L.D..
This was also the reason why The Avengers didn't kill them. After all, they still wanted to pry some useful information out of them. So, it was expected that they and S.H.E.L.D. would be busy in the near future.
Not to mention that the Hydra incident involved the Justice League.
They even sent someone to deal with it.
So, Steve and the others did have a lot of things to deal with.
However, before Steve could speak, Tony, who was standing beside him, spoke up.
He said, "Is there anything more important in the world than sending a girl home?"
The sweet-talking flirt gave Issou and Jean a Stark -style smile.
"I don't think so."
Even though they knew that Tony Stark was a playboy,
However, no one could deny that he was indeed capable of flirting with a girl's heart at any time.
Issou silently suppressed his fluttering heart, then said to Tony, "No, no, no, I think there is. For example, saving the world or something is more important than sending a girl home. You guys go ahead, Jean and I will leave first."
She waved at them. "Goodbye, Steve, Mr. Iron Man."
Looking at Issou leaving with Jean, Tony blinked with a confused expression. He then said to Steve, "Issou called you Steve?"
Steve looked back at his teammate, "Is there a problem?"
Tony pointed to himself and said, "But she called me Mr. Iron Man."
Didn't that explain the problem?
Hearing Tony say this, Steve curled his lips at him, but before he could say anything, he heard Tony say, "No, no, no, wait, captain, your expression gives me a bad feeling."
"Really? I thought you would be very familiar with it? "
Steve said teasingly. Didn't they all have this expression when they teamed up to tease him? He thought Tony was very familiar with it.
Because of how Issou addressed him and Tony, Steve forgot about the slight awkwardness he felt when he misunderstood. He crossed his arms and smiled at Tony. "And this means that what Jarvis said before isn't without reason."
Tony, "…"
What the hell.
Wasn't he busy changing the topic?
In the end, she actually secretly wrote down Jarvis's words!?
However, there was no point in arguing about this topic, so he cleverly changed the topic, "I don't think it's likely that Issou is a mutant."
"Why do you say that?"
Steve knew very well that Tony was trying to change the topic because it was obvious, but he had to admit that this topic did arouse his curiosity.
He thought of the red-haired girl who was with Issou just now. "Is it because of Phoenix?"
"Correct, but unfortunately, there's no reward."
Tony said as he walked with Steve. "When I saw Phoenix, I thought our previous guess was right. Issou is indeed a mutant, but Phoenix reminded me that Issou doesn't know that she is a mutant."
Hearing Tony say this, Steve, who already knew what Phoenix's superpower was, naturally knew how she quietly reminded Tony in front of Issou, so he did not speak but waited for Tony to continue.
Tony did not keep them in suspense. He continued, "There are two possibilities for what Phoenix said. First, Issou is a mutant, but Phoenix doesn't know, so she hid her identity from Issou."
"Second, Phoenix knows that Issou is not a mutant, so she didn't tell Issou that she is a mutant. In order to determine which is more likely, I just tested Issou."
Seeing that Steve was waiting for his answer, Tony continued, "Last time we guessed that Issou is a mutant, and his superpower is to make food that can eliminate negative emotions, but when I tested her, Issou didn't hide anything."
"Captain, do you think that if Issou is really a mutant, and he didn't hide it at all, Phoenix wouldn't notice? You know, Phoenix can't control her superpower like Professor X. "
Steve listened carefully to Tony's analysis, and then he asked a question, "According to what you said, how do you explain Bruce's examination report?"
Tony curled his lips, and this smile made him look very charming. He said, "That's where it gets interesting."

Just like Tony and Steve, Jean and Charles, who returned to Academy X that night, were also discussing the question of whether Issou was a mutant.
"There are indeed mutants in 'My Chinese Restaurant'."
Charles looked at the red-haired girl in front of him. When he finished this sentence, he heard her continue, "But it's not Issou?"
"Mhmm."
Charles nodded and looked at Jean, who was not surprised at all. He said, "It seems that you already have a conclusion?"
"No, Professor, you didn't tell me, so I guessed it."
Jean seemed to be in a good mood, and the faint smile on her face made her look very beautiful. "In fact, I should trust your judgment."
Then, she asked about the other mutant in 'My Chinese Restaurant'. "Is the waiter in Issou's Chinese Restaurant a mutant?"
"Yes."
Charles nodded. "Her name is Clarice Fang."
When Charles first came to 'My Chinese Restaurant', he originally wanted to confirm whether Issou was a mutant. In the end, he confirmed that Issou was not a mutant, but the waiter she hired, Clarice, was a mutant.
In fact, even if Clarice had put on some disguises, one could still see that she was a mutant if one took a closer look. For example, her pointed ears and the tattoo-like mark on her face.
Of course, the most obvious was probably her green eyes that were invisible if she did not disguise herself.
"She …"
When she heard Charles's words, Jean's first reaction was – would Issou be in danger?
But before she could say it, she paused. The reason she was worried that Issou would be in danger was because Clarice was a mutant. However, she was also a mutant herself.
"Don't worry, I've talked to Clarice."
Charles seemed to understand Jean's meaning. He said, "I suggested that she come to Academy X, but she refused. However, her ability is indeed unstable, so I suggested that she use the holidays to come to our place for training."
"She agreed?"
Charles looked at Jean and said with a smile, "Clarice is as concerned about Issou's safety as you are."
Then, he added, "I originally planned to introduce her to you today, but you went out with Issou today. How was it? Did you have fun today? "
Jean knew that Clarice was willing to come to Academy X for training, so she was relieved. When she heard Charles's question, she shrugged. "I could have been happier, but unfortunately, I encountered the Avengers and S.H.E.L.D. people who were hunting Hydra."
"You went to Fifth Avenue today?"
Charles was stunned for a moment. Although this incident did not involve mutants, The Avengers were already on the move, and they even went to a place like Fifth Avenue. How could it not make the headlines?
"Yes."
Jean nodded. She remembered what happened in the mall today. She knew very well that as long as The Avengers and S.H.E.L.D. people were investigating, they would definitely find out that Hydra was acting strangely at that time. In addition, Iron Man and Captain America saw her appear at the scene, so it was easier for them to guess that she was the culprit.
So after thinking about it, she chose to report it to Charles. She said, "… And I helped them today, Professor."
"Don't worry."
Seeing that Jean was a little nervous, Charles comforted her, "Jean, you did a good job today. I taught you how to use and control your ability, not only to protect yourselves, but also to protect others."
He smiled at her and said, "You did a good job, Jean."
Hearing Charles' praise, Jean could not help but smile. She said, "That's good. It's a pity that my date with Issou today was ruined."
Hearing that Jean's tone seemed to be a little disappointed, Charles was about to say something when he heard her say, "But fortunately, I got to taste the delicious food that Issou personally cooked. By the way, Professor, have you eaten hot pot before? It's super delicious! Oh my god! Chinese people really know how to eat! "
Charles, who had never eaten hot pot before and was provoked by Jean's words, "…"
Oh.
I originally planned to give her another day off.
But it seems that's not necessary anymore.
Jean, "…???"

Jean did not know what she had missed, but she knew that Charles went to "my Chinese restaurant" again the next day. Don't ask her how she knew —
Because Cotter was summoned by the professor again.
