American comic book series: The beginning of fusion with Homelander

“Of course, I’m very interested. Tell me about it.” Rorschach sat down in an empty seat and joined the group.

"It's Charles and Hank!"

The siren began to gesticulate wildly as she recounted to Rorschach, “You know, Charles has been teaching me how to control my sound waves these past few days, and I’ve made great progress. Hank made me a ‘bat suit’ today, and then I used the sound wave recoil and the bat suit to adjust my balance, and that’s how I flew!”

"Hank, thank you so much, buddy, you're amazing!"

As the siren spoke, she gave Hank a thumbs-up.

"The most basic fluid mechanics, nothing more, Siren, it's nothing special."

Hank's words sound like he was showing off, but actually, they weren't.

For Hank, fluid mechanics, a fundamental branch of physics, really is "nothing more than that."

"Rorschach."

Hank suddenly turned his gaze over and said to Rorschach, "Do you have time tonight? I have something I want to discuss with you."

Although he didn't understand what Hank wanted to talk to him about, Rorschach didn't hesitate and immediately agreed: "Of course."

"Hey, Hank, what's with the secrecy? Is there something you can't say here?" the Raider couldn't help but call out from the side.

The others also joined in the commotion.

Mystique Raven couldn't help but give Hank a meaningful look, as if she knew why Hank was looking for Rorschach.

"Hank, please come to my room."

After chatting with everyone for a while, Rorschach greeted them and led Hank to his room.

You know what, it really does feel weird!

If Rorschach didn't know who Hank was, he would have seriously suspected that Hank had some ulterior motives towards him.

"Have a seat, Hank." Rorschach gestured for Hank to sit down and, without any preamble, asked directly, "What's going on that's making such a fuss?"

“Rorschach, you know, sometimes I’m quite envious of you,” Hank said, sitting down across from Rorschach with a sigh.

Luo Xia laughed: "What are you envious of? My good looks? Dude, you're not bad either!"

Hank laughed too: "Rorschach, you know that's not what I meant."

This lighthearted banter eased the somewhat serious atmosphere considerably.

“You and Charles, Eric and the others, you and I and Raven are different. Although you are also different from ordinary people, you don’t need to hide yourselves.”

"Do you understand what I mean? My big feet, that's abnormal, it makes me look like a monster, and I don't want to be a monster."

Hank then organized his thoughts and began to explain to Rorschach.

By now, how could Rorschach not understand Hank's intentions?

Hank developed a drug and injected himself with it precisely because he wanted to "cure" himself.

As a result, not only did he fail to cure himself, he actually turned into the beast Hank.

Rorschach remembered that Beast Hank had drawn blood from Mystique Raven in order to study this potion. Could it be that Hank wanted to draw his own blood this time?

Rorschach was actually right.

For Hank, studying his and Raven's blood alone is not enough, because he wants to make his appearance normal, so he naturally needs to find a mutant with a normal appearance as a reference sample.

Hank dared not tell Charles and Eric about these thoughts, knowing that the two would certainly not understand.

Hank didn't want to talk about other young people like Darwin and the Siren.

Those people were all too immature. After thinking it over, only Luo Xia was the most suitable candidate.

Chapter 047 Rorschach's Mutant Abilities

“When I was very young, I thought that one day I would make myself normal. This has always been my dream.”

“Rorschach, I don’t know if you can empathize with me, because you look normal to begin with, and no one looks at you strangely when you walk outside.”

"But I'm different, I've had enough of that!"

Hank's voice continued, interrupting Rorschach's thoughts.

"So Hank, what do you need me to do?"

Although Rorschach had already guessed what Hank was planning to do, he could only pretend not to know and ask him questions.

“Rorschach, I know my request may be a bit presumptuous, but… could I take some of your blood samples?”

After hesitating for a moment, Hank finally spoke to Rorschach.

“I’ve actually been researching how to cure myself recently, and I’ve made a breakthrough. I’m just one step away from the final one. I need a reference sample.”

"I only need a small sample of your blood."

Hank looked at Rorschach with anticipation.

"I'm sorry, Hank, but I personally mind this very much."

Without a second thought, Rorschach rejected Hank outright.

His body was modified by a system, not from the original X gene in his body.

That's right, Rorschach also has the X gene in his body. He himself is a genuine mutant. Otherwise, how could his predecessor have been taken back to the CIA's secret base by Professor X?

As for Rorschach's mutant abilities, they are not usually visible, but they can be extremely useful in certain situations: underwater breathing.

His skin can directly absorb the surrounding air!

Of course, Rorschach's underwater breathing technique is different from Deepsea's in The Seven.

The body structure of deep-sea creatures has changed, with gills resembling those of fish growing on their chest and abdomen.

Rorschach did not.

Rorschach's body is not different from that of ordinary people. He can absorb air from the water without swallowing the water along with the air. He can simply draw air from the surrounding water.

Well, most of the time this ability is just for show, and it's pretty useless.

Rorschach never told anyone this.

To date, everyone, including Charles, believes that Rorschach's abilities are those that the Homelander template gave him.

Under these circumstances, Rorschach would naturally not allow Hank to draw his blood so casually.

"No, no, no, Rorschach, it's me who should apologize. I know this is an offensive request."

Hank's face showed a hint of disappointment, but he still spoke politely to Rorschach.

"Hank, is a normal-looking mutant blood sample all you need?"

Just as Hank was about to leave, Rorschach suddenly looked up and asked.

"Yes, why do you ask that?" Hank looked at Rorschach with a bit of confusion.

“If that’s the case, Hank, although I can’t let you take my blood, I might be able to get you other blood samples.”

Rorschach said it in a nonchalant tone.

This was just a side job for him.

Whether it's the inevitable final battle with Black King or the long-awaited showdown with Stryker, Rorschach inevitably clashes with other mutants.

Bringing Hank some samples later is really nothing.

“Rorschach, thank you very much.” Hank’s face, which had been filled with disappointment, suddenly lit up with surprise. “But if this has put you in a difficult position…”

"It's okay, Hank. It's nothing to do for a friend."

"Thank you, Rorschach. I don't know what else to say but thank you."

"Then there's no need to say anything more. Alright, it's getting late, let's go back and rest. It's really uncomfortable for two grown men to be alone in a room so late at night."

Hank left satisfied.

Although this was just Rorschach's verbal promise, nothing more.

But Hank believed that since Rorschach had made a promise to him, he would definitely keep it.

After Hank left, Rorschach couldn't help but think about it. He remembered that in the original movie, Hank seemed to only want Mystique Raven's blood sample.

So it's clear that because of his time travel, the original events have deviated somewhat from their intended course.

If Hank does manage to get another blood sample, will he become "Beast Hank" again?

Rorschach was really looking forward to it.

……

Good morning, Rorschach!

"Good morning, Siren, Raven, Alex!"

Early the next morning.

The young mutants got up very early, even before the eastern sky was still light and the sun had fully risen.

This was simply unimaginable when we were inside the CIA base.

Back then, everyone was a bunch of good-for-nothings who just loafed around and waited to die; it was impossible for them to get up before the sun was high in the sky.

However, under the special training of Charles and Eric, everyone has undergone significant changes in all aspects.

After a quick breakfast in the cafeteria, everyone greeted each other and then gathered again on the playground.

Charles and Eric were already there waiting.

However, for some reason, Mora, who usually accompanied Charles and acted as his assistant, recording data, was not there.

Although he had doubts, Luo Xia did not ask them immediately.

Instead, he waited until Charles began leading everyone in special training before quietly approaching Eric.

"Mora received a tip and went out to investigate."

Eric didn't wait for Rorschach to ask any questions before taking the initiative to explain to him.

Luo Xia nodded without saying much, but in his heart he was not optimistic about this investigation at all.

After all, according to Rorschach's recollection, it seems that no one had found the Black Emperor before the final battle of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
