Chapter 786: Unexpected
Chapter 786: Unexpected
Iceman just hung up a video call with League of DefenderJerry at the X-Men underground base at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. Iceman was both surprised and worried about Mirage Knight’s situation at this point.
“Robert, are we really going to get Marie back? She finally found some peace in her life.” After Iceman hung up the video call, his girlfriend, Kitty, questioned him.
Anna Marie, also known as Marie D’Ancanto by Jerry. However, the X-Men members prefer another interpretation of her nickname, which is Rogue. Because, once Anna-Marie was also their partner and teammate, in the eyes of everyone she is a mischievous sister.
Rogue was once a member of the X-Men. In addition, Rogue was involved in several major incidents involving Mutants years ago, when Mutants were frequently seen in the public eye. Her mutant power is also very special, a mutant power that cannot be graded accurately.
She can absorb the power and energy of others through physical contact and is able to use the power like her own. However, these absorbed abilities and energy does not last long and will fade after a period of time.
Still, Rogue’s abilities are enough to qualify as amazing even by Mutant standard. And that was the extent to which she had shown herself many years before, as a teenager. Now, that same girl should have become stronger along with her Mutant ability.
Hearing his girlfriend’s words, Iceman puts his laptop aside as he leans on the bed. After coming back from Siberia, Iceman was recommended to take bed rest for some time and he was also on continuous regimes of Recovery Serum.
If it weren’t for the absence of Professor Charles, Storm, and Hank the Beast, who usually make decisions at the X Institute, Iceman wouldn’t have dragged his injured body to talk to Jerry at this time.
“I know you don’t want to disturb Anna’s life, after all, she was your best friend once. But, you heard what he said just now. Mirage Knight’s life is in danger, if those dark energies are not taken away then he would die! So…” Iceman says with some resignation in his voice.
Speaking of which, the relationship between Iceman, Shadowcat, and Rogue is actually a bit of a story. All three were teenagers, and Iceman was a strong student at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters.
So, there was a love triangle between the three of them. After Rogue finally left due to her uncontrollable mutant ability, Iceman and Shadowcat slowly and truly got together.
So Iceman wouldn’t want to bother Rogue if things weren’t really bad for Mirage Knight.
“In that case, you’d better get in touch with her. If she doesn’t want to come back then we’ll have more time to persuade her.” Kitty continued after Iceman finishes speaking.
Shadowcat is more open-minded than Iceman about the fact that her best friend is her boyfriend’s first love. After all, Rogue has been gone for so many years, and it is he who has been by Iceman’s side for so many years, sharing all kinds of happy days and difficult days with him. So Shadowcat doesn’t mind if Rogue comes back at all.
“Er… All right! I’ll call her!” Hearing Shadowcat’s words, Iceman looks a little embarrassed, but he still agrees as he cannot delay this any longer.
Then, in front of his girlfriend, Shadowcat, Iceman picks up his cell phone and dials a number he has barely called in years.
Beep Beep~
“Robert? Why are you calling?” The call was connected after a few rings, and then a thick, low male voice rang in Iceman’s ear.
Hearing the voice coming from the phone, Iceman’s originally embarrassed expression instantly turned into surprise.
“Huh?! Logan?!”
…
On the top floor of the Stark Industries Building in New York, Pepper is receiving Agent Coulson, while Jane Foster and Thor are also invited up by Pepper. Pepper already knows part of the situation from JARVIS, and since it’s SHIELD’s responsibility, she doesn’t have to worry about this and she is still wondering where Tony had gone and what he’s doing.
“Mr. Thor, Miss Foster, we meet again.” Standing in the middle of Stark’s luxurious penthouse living room, Agent Coulson looked at the man and woman in front of him and greeted them with a smile.
When Mjolnir was thrown to Earth a few months ago and Thor was thrown after him, Thor and others with him had already come face to face with Agent Coulson as they searched for the hammer. Of course, it wasn’t all that pleasant. So, when they saw Agent Coulson, Thor and Jane didn’t have a good expression on their faces.
“Agent Coulson, you are the representative of SHIELD,” Thor said in a bad tone as he looked at Coulson in a suit and leather shoes.
In Thor’s opinion, the forces on earth are all the same and there is no difference between justice and evil. Since the earth is not a unified civilization, the one who is strong is right, and this truth applies to all Nine Realms. So since SHIELD had upset him, especially by locking up his hammer, Thor certainly wouldn’t have any nice feeling towards them.
“Hehe, you can say that and I am here to understand the situation.” Hearing Thor’s words, Coulson replied with the same smile on his face. Coulson had already prepared for Thor’s attitude, so he wouldn’t be caught off-guard.
“What kind of situation would require SHIELD? By now that subspace I found should have been occupied by you guys long ago, right?” After Coulson finished speaking, Jane also opened her mouth to question him.
Like Thor, Jane’s first encounter with SHIELD wasn’t all that pleasant. If Lin Rui hadn’t spoken for Jane, all her experiment notes would have been taken away by SHIELD. So, this time Jane has found a place of great research value, and she doesn’t want to be excluded by SHIELD again.
Until now, Jane doesn’t know what Thor and the others have gone through. For her, she just accidentally entered the dimensional space, crossed over to another place, and then came back unconscious. As for Thor and Lin Rui going there to save her, Thor hasn’t had time to say anything.
The expression on Coulson’s face finally changed when he heard Jane’s words. Just as Coulson was about to explain something, a sound of the arrival of the elevator suddenly came from the corner of the living room.
