On the playground.
The mutants were all engaged in their own training, while Charles, Eric, and Rorschach stood together, watching the results of everyone's training.
Their facial expressions still showed considerable satisfaction.
As for Mora, she was nowhere to be seen once again.
Although Mora accidentally fell into Shaw's trap last time, leading everyone astray, this did not stop Mora from investigating Shaw.
It only made her more cautious and careful, nothing more.
However, as always, Rorschach still doesn't have a high opinion of Mora.
With the situation between the US and the Soviet Union becoming increasingly tense, Shaw, as the mastermind behind the scenes, will undoubtedly focus more on provoking a war between the two countries.
Why would they show themselves so easily?
“Charles, they are ready now.”
Eric's voice rang out as he addressed Charles.
"Yes, Eric, they are ready."
Charles nodded in agreement; even he, who had always been more conservative, had to admit this.
"And all of this is thanks to Rorschach."
At this moment, Charles turned his gaze to Rorschach, his face full of approval, "Without your 'encouragement,' Rorschach, it would have been impossible for everyone to improve so quickly."
"Yes, that's a powerful 'spur' on us."
Eric said, subconsciously touching his cheek, where there was still a bruise.
That kid Luo Xia, I told him not to hold back, but he really doesn't know how to be polite.
"Eric, don't look at me like that. Actually, I'm injured too... My fist hurts from where your face hit me!"
Rorschach accused Eric with a serious expression.
"You bastard!" Eric said helplessly. This kid really got the benefit but still acted innocent.
"Hahaha!" Charles laughed, enjoying this moment of close interaction among everyone.
Unfortunately, Charles has no way of knowing that this moment will likely not last long.
"Eric, Rorschach, I have an idea."
Charles's voice rang out, his eyes sparkling as he said to the two of them, "The practical training these past few days has been very effective, so what do you think about building a dedicated practical training room?"
"Let's make our beating look more impressive?" Eric joked casually, not understanding Charles's true meaning.
"No, Eric, I mean, a training room that can simulate all sorts of real-life scenarios. We can even simulate fighting Shaw!"
"Although the current combat training has achieved good results, the mode is still too monotonous, and everyone knows that they will not kill each other, which leads to the limitations of this kind of training."
"There's simply no way to bring out everyone's true potential!"
Charles began to speak eloquently, describing an idealized training room to Eric and Rorschach.
A training room that allows everyone to truly experience the real battlefield and feel the tension of life and death in an instant.
Isn't this the danger training room?
Rorschach couldn't help but mutter to himself.
This thing will be standard equipment at Xavier's Academy for the Young, and the X-Men even simulated a battle with the Sentinel robots there. Who would have thought that it would be born ahead of schedule by some twist of fate?
While chatting with Eric and Charles, Rorschach's wristwatch suddenly beeped.
Luo Xia looked down and a message popped up: "Key clues to mechanical life forms discovered. Looking forward to meeting to discuss."
In this day and age, this watch was considered cutting-edge technology, but considering that it was specifically left by Howard Stark for Rorschach to use for communication, it was not surprising.
After all, Howard Stark was a superhuman who could build hovercars during World War II, so his communication wristband was nothing special.
"Charles, Eric, you two lead the training first. I have something to take care of."
Luo Xia made his decision without much hesitation.
He greeted Charles and his companion, intending to go and keep the appointment.
Rorschach orchestrated S.H.I.E.L.D.'s investigation into the Decepticons, all for the sake of the AllSpark. Naturally, he wouldn't hesitate to give it another push at a crucial moment.
Moreover, staying cooped up in Xavier Manor all day will undoubtedly prevent you from triggering any missions, so there's really no point in worrying about that.
Chapter 063 What a beast!
After saying goodbye to Charles Eric, Rorschach left Xavier Manor.
They arrived at a luxurious private room in an upscale hotel and met Howard Stark.
To Rorschach's surprise, not only Howard Stark was there, but Peggy Carter was also present.
Rorschach glanced at Howard Stark, then at Peggy Carter, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
A lone man and a lone woman sharing a hotel room?
what's the situation?
"What are you standing there for at the door? Come in!"
Howard Stark was organizing his clothes in the closet when he casually spoke to Rorschach. Then, when he looked up, he saw Rorschach's meaningful gaze.
He was immediately left speechless, unable to find the words to express his frustration.
"What are you thinking, kid!" Howard Stark beckoned to Rorschach. "Come in quickly, it's important!"
Rorschach naturally knew that the two had important business at the hotel, and he was just deliberately teasing Howard Stark.
Of course, it wasn't that Rorschach believed in the playboy's character; Rorschach felt it wouldn't be surprising if Howard Stark really did target Peggy Carter.
But the key point is that Peggy Carter is clearly not a woman Howard Stark can handle.
Rorschach went inside, glanced at Peggy Carter, and then, to make matters worse, said, "Agent Carter is here too. Hopefully, this time they'll send someone who isn't afraid of heights to follow me."
Peggy Carter's face immediately turned ashen.
Last time, she sent someone to follow Luo Xia, but not only was the other party exposed, they even threw the person onto the roof!
They even sent her threatening messages!
Peggy Carter was furious; the slap in the face was incredibly loud.
“Rorschach, do you know what crime it is to assault a state law enforcement officer?” Peggy Carter said, staring coldly at Rorschach.
"I don't care!"
Rorschach shrugged. "But I'd really like to know what crime it is to attack a senior officer of an intelligence agency, like a high-ranking official in the Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency."
Peggy Carter was furious.
Isn't this obviously talking about themselves?
"Peggy, Rorschach, calm down. We're all on the same side. What happened before was all a misunderstanding. Why are we all being so confrontational?"
Howard Stark, seeing that things were getting out of hand, immediately jumped in, looking quite troubled, to smooth things over.
Howard Stark knew that Peggy Carter had some prejudice against Rorschach because she misunderstood him, and even sent someone to follow Rorschach. However, Howard Stark explained everything to Peggy Carter afterwards.
During their last secret meeting as the three founders, Howard Stark shared information about mutants with everyone.
Subsequent investigations by S.H.I.E.L.D. confirmed that the incident was indeed true.
Peggy Carter completely misunderstood Rorschach.
Even so, given Peggy Carter's arrogance, it's impossible for her to show any interest in Rorschach because of a small misunderstanding. At most, she'll stop investigating Rorschach, and that's all.
Given Peggy Carter's status and position, she felt that she had already made a significant concession by taking this step.
She didn't pursue the matter even though her agent was beaten and hospitalized.
But who would have thought that Rorschach would immediately start mocking her and even threaten her upon seeing her? Peggy Carter couldn't stand it.
“Rorschach, Peggy’s stalking of you before wasn’t directed at you; it was just that she misunderstood some things. But now the misunderstanding has been cleared up.”
"She will never target you again."
Howard Stark explained to Rorschach, then pulled Peggy Carter aside and tried to persuade her.
This finally calmed Peggy Carter down.
“Mr. Stark, I don’t know what you want to talk to me about, but I’m the kind of person who can’t talk business if I’m in a bad mood.”
"When I see people I don't want to see in the room, I get very upset, like right now."
But Rorschach wasn't about to let it go.
"Rorschach, please, have some manners!"
Howard Stark was exasperated. "If you're this petty, you won't win any girls' hearts."
"It's okay." Luo Xia said nonchalantly, "Anyway, it's always girls trying to please me."
Howard Stark: "..."
Rorschach, you're really overdoing it.
Even I, a playboy, wouldn't dare say something like that.
"Rorschach..."
"Stark!"
Peggy Carter interrupted Howard Stark, a woman of great magnanimity who was willing to sacrifice herself for the greater good, saying, "You better hope you get something out of this!"
After saying that, Peggy Carter slammed the door and left without looking back.
Only Rorschach and Howard Stark remained in the room.
"Rorschach..."
“Mr. Stark, that old woman is gone. You’re not going to lecture me, are you?” Rorschach glanced at Howard Stark.
"No, I mean, to make Peggy this angry, man, that's not something an ordinary man can do."
Howard Stark patted Rorschach on the shoulder, then shook his head and sighed, "Actually, Peggy is also a pitiful person."
