36. Home
Identifying the families of the captured children and the mutants who assisted the utopians, and sending the homeless children to the island, these complicated things lasted for a full 2 days.
Miss Louise Liann, a reporter from the Planet Daily who has been staying in Mexico, also got the big news she longed for as she wished.
Because of Clark's relationship, Louise was the first reporter to intervene and report on this matter. She was also qualified to interview Professor Charles and some of the parties involved. Even accompanied by Clark, she went to an abandoned building in the depths of the swamp to watch the battle traces left on that day.
Of course, the background of this matter has been slightly changed.
"An illegal organization trying to make super slaves with children, a group of mutants who traveled thousands of miles to rescue their fellow countrymen, a wise and determined leader, and these innocent children rescued by federal agents."
In the manor, Louise, who had written a manuscript, looked at the children waiting to leave outside the window, and a smile of peace appeared on her face.
The reporter turned his head and said to Clark, who was packing things behind him:
"This report will surely spark people's interest in the persecution of mutants, especially our interview with Professor Charles, and the videos of mutants helping children. This will definitely make people feel more favorable for the mysterious mutant urban utopia. Unfortunately, it is a pity that the mysterious S.H.E.D. agents were not able to interview them, which is a pity."
"Believe me, this is a good thing, Louise. It's definitely not as good as you think about dealing with people from SHIELD."
Clark carried heavy equipment, he pushed his black-framed glasses and said to his girlfriend:
"And I think it's more meaningful for us to interview more such good things than we pay attention to the fight and killing things all day long. This can make the world a better place and make people believe that there will be justice and hope in the world in the end, those beautiful things...those commendable qualities are what journalists should do."
"Oh, are you blaming me?"
Louise said to Clark with her waist:
"I won the award before by revealing those ugly things."
"No, this is different."
Clark defended:
"You are also fighting evil, so you are a hero."
He reached out to hold Louise's slender waist frivolously, and he whispered:
"Okay, my hero lady, I've been out for so long, it's time for us to go home."
While Clark and Louise were on the plane to return to New York, Merlin was already on the way back. Of course, he only needed a shapeshift to send himself and Laura back to New York, which was much more convenient than taking a plane or something.
Between the twists of light, Merlin and Laura returned to the door of Hell's Kitchen, with a mission brief in his hand.
"Well, Namo left with Charles."
Merlin noticed some unusual messages in the briefing and chuckled:
"It seems that 'Charles' has also noticed Namo's potential. Think about it, Utopia is in the ocean, which is Namo's home court. Having a good relationship with Namo can make Utopia have no worries... Well, Onslater said no, but his body is very honest."
Laura, who was following Merlin, didn't know why Merlin laughed and was so happy, but she didn't care. She wouldn't pay too much attention to things that had nothing to do with her.
She grabbed Merlin's hand and looked at the surrounding environment curiously.
She knew Merlin could do magic, but in an instant, she still felt a little uneasy when she came to this strange place from Mexico.
She was adopted by Mr. Eagle's organization almost since she was a child. In her limited and cleansed memory, except for her final escape, she spent almost every day in the silver-gray building.
She underwent X-gene activation test, received painful Eidman alloy injection, and followed Namo to learn the combat skills of killing. Her life was monotonous and simple, pale and not worth nostalgic.
After meeting Merlin, her life with always cool colors has a warm color.
Merlin held her hand and brought her into her new life, although Laura hoped to maintain her life for the past few days, staying with Merlin, and staying there casually can make people feel at ease.
But it's best...there are only two of them.
She doesn't like strangers, nor does she like to contact strangers.
"You look a little nervous, girl."
Merlin noticed Laura's expression. The silent child was like a wolf cub entering a strange hunting ground. Her body was tense, as if she was ready to rush out to fight at any time.
"Come on, come with me."
Merlin let go of Laura's hand, he patted the girl's head, then took out the key and opened the door.
"Oh, brother, you're finally back! The house is in chaos, Rockets and Groot are in the backyard..."
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lorna rushed out of the room. The girl, who was 13 years old this year, ran over, with her green hair floating behind her, looking extremely stunning.
For a while, Merlin was also curious about why Lorna's hair was always so flowing. Later he realized that it was a girl's nature to love beauty. Lorna always used magnetism to make her hair look fluffy and more beautiful.
Well, I don’t know if Magneto, who was cultivating his body and self-cultivating in an isolated island prison, would cry when he saw this scene.
But Lorna planned to run into Merlin's arms to express her love for her brother, but was forcibly interrupted because she saw Laura hiding behind Merlin and looked at her curiously.
The thing Miss Lorna was most worried about finally happened!
Merlin went out and brought back another girl!
Including Lorna herself, who are these?
"who is she!"
Lorna blocked the door and pointed at Laura and screamed:
"You brought the other children back! You can't even live in the house! I want to tell Riven... she hates you too!"
"No, Riven won't hate me."
Merlin rubbed his forehead with a headache, and he said to the aggressive Lorna:
"Actually, Riven doesn't care about these things at all. Okay, Lorna, don't throw a tantrum, let Laura in. I believe that it only takes a while for you two to become good friends."
"No! No!"
Lorna pouted and glared at Laura, she shouted:
"I refuse!"
The stupid girl blocked the door herself, as if to strengthen her momentum, she also called out her pet. As the magnetic surge, two cool metal eagles flapped their wings and rushed out of the backyard, floating beside Lorna with her teeth and claws.
But the next moment...
"Swish, Swish"
Two muffled sounds, two x-shaped crossed sword lights flashed by, and Laura, who jumped up, landed on the ground with a standard assassination movement, spread her hands and blocked Merlin. The claws on her fists had already bounced out, and obviously she felt uneasy and threat.
In front of her, the two metal eagles that were not useful were cut into several pieces. As the current surged, the fragments hit the ground, the metal parts were thrown everywhere, and rolling black smoke was emitted.
"Ah! You broke my pet!"
When Lorna saw that her beloved metal eagle was cut into pieces, she felt so distressed that she almost cried.
This was given to her by Merlin!
"You compensate!"
Magneto Xiao opened his hands, and the rolling magnetic force quickly formed a disordered magnetic field. Laura immediately felt that her arms and feet were out of control. The Edman alloy in her arms and feet produced a strange force in the magnetic field, just like an invisible hand, holding Laura's body and hovering into the air.
As Lorna's hands spread out, Laura, who was struggling, was also pulled apart with her limbs.
The little wolf girl struggled desperately, but facing Lorna, who had completely defeated her and was trained by Xuanlan, she had almost no power to resist... In fact, if there was no Eidman alloy in her body, Lorna would not be able to control her so easily.
But now, the most powerful weapon has become her biggest weakness.
"Okay! Stop making trouble!"
Merlin reached out to throw out two repair spells, and the fragments on the ground quickly reorganized two complete metal eagles under the magic erosion. He popped up another wisp of black smoke and forced Lorna's body, so that she could no longer continue to bully the new wolf girl.
"Hmph! You really don't love me anymore!"
Lorna was also very aggrieved. Seeing Merlin standing on Laura's side, tears were spinning in her eyes. It was obvious that two children were making trouble, but Merlin felt that there was an atmosphere of a bloody family drama at 8 o'clock.
What's worse is that there are guys who are disrupting the situation.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? The Kerry call?"
The two "guests" who were disturbed by the situation at the door, the Rocket Raccoon and the tree man Groot, who were temporarily living in Merlin's house, also ran over. The Rocket was carrying an exaggerated gun, and Groot stood on each of his shoulders and heads, looking like a real big tree.
The silly dog Frank also ran into the hall. It had the best relationship with Lorna, so it stood on Lorna, like a loyal dog protecting the master, constantly roaring fiercely at the little wolf girl.
But like before, a stupid dog has no courage to pounce on it.
It has no confidence in its combat effectiveness.
“Meow, Meow.”
The lively scene also alarmed Lord Gugu who was sleeping in the nest. The orange cat walked to the railing on the second floor with elegant and lazy steps. It looked down, and then was surprised to find that its servant Merlin brought back a human cub that it did not recognize.
Well...it looks delicious.
Of course, it just seems that Lord Gugu has stopped eating people for a long time. It has been stolen by Meilin. It will never touch any cat food that is less than $200.
"Quiet!"
The situation in the house made Merlin hurt. He was a wizard, and wizards generally did not like the noise.
He shouted, and shouted to the others in the room:
"This is my family's internal affairs, don't interfere! Go and do whatever you should do."
Seeing that Merlin was angry, Frank was the first to be afraid. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Rockets pulled Groot back to the backyard to continue the open-air barbecue. Only Lord Gugu was still lying there with interest, watching Merlin deal with family conflicts.
"What's wrong? Why are you so noisy? Why are you crying? Who messed with you?"
Riven, who was equipped with potions in the underground alchemy room, was also alarmed. The 15-year-old girl came to the living room wearing a long dress and glasses. Although she was only two years older than Lorna, Riven was the most mature person among all the children in Merlin's family, except Eric and Charlie who had moved out.
Seeing Riven walk into the living room, Lorna, who was aggrieved, ran to her side, grabbed Riven's hand, as if she had found a backer.
She whispered to Riven as she happened, while Merlin took Laura into the room, put Laura's schoolbag on the sofa, and took a bottle of drink for the little wolf girl.
The little wolf girl herself was not wronged. She knew that Lorna was Merlin's sister. When she came before, Merlin told her.
To be honest, she was a little jealous of Lorna and Riven, but she didn't show it, and still maintained a cold expression as before. Soon, Laura felt someone staring at her. She raised her head and looked at her with her eyes. She saw a fat orange cat lying on the railing on the second floor, looking at her with a deep look.
In the backyard, Rocket Raccoon and Treeman were talking. This was the first time Laura saw a talking raccoon and a treeman.
She couldn't help but grab her hair...
Well, I always feel like I've come to a strange place.
"Riwen, I'll hand Laura over to you. She will live at home. This child's past is quite miserable. Well, it's a match for your past life. But I think you and her will be very close. You two are very similar, really."
Merlin took out her pocket watch and looked at the time. He said to Raven:
"Don't let Lorna bully her, I'm going out and come back in the afternoon or evening. Remember not to let the Rockets and Groot run around."
"Yeah, you go."
Riven, who had gone from being a cold girl in the past, turned into an intellectual big girl, pushed her round-frame glasses. While comforting Lorna who complained to her, she said to Merlin:
"I will take good care of them, but remember to come back for dinner in the evening, Matt and his friends will come tonight, and they seem to have something to tell you."
"Well, I'll try my best."
Merlin walked to Laura and whispered a few words to Laura.
The little wolf girl was a little reluctant, but Merlin was going to work, so she couldn't continue to pester him.
After Merlin left, Laura sat quietly on the sofa. She pulled away the schoolbag that Merlin bought for her, took out a comic book, and planned to continue reading the story that she hadn't finished in a few days, but just as she opened the book, a gentle voice came into her ears.
"Hello, Laura, my name is Riven."
The little wolf girl raised her head and saw Ruiwen standing in front of her and stretching out her hand.
Chapter completed!
