American comic book series: The beginning of fusion with Homelander

"You're coming with us!"

Without a word, Eric grabbed Bradley's arm and forcibly dragged him into his car.

Chapter 008 We're in Trouble

Faced with Erik, a powerful mutant who could kill Zero with his bare hands, and an ally who could easily take down Sabretooth, what could Bradley do?

Even if you're unwilling, what other choice do you have?

Moreover, with Sabretooth and Zero both dead, Stryker is definitely not going to let this go, and Bradley is destined to embark on a journey of escape as well.

From this perspective, being captured by another mutant organization doesn't seem like such a bad thing.

At least Stryker won't find us easily, right?

With that thought in mind, Bradley calmed down and didn't cause any trouble, obediently following Eric and Rorschach to the outside of their secret base.

At the entrance of the base.

Having received advance notice, Agent Mora, along with several CIA agents and Charles, were already waiting at the door.

"Eric, is this the guy?"

After sizing up Bradley, Agent Mora couldn't help but show a suspicious look on his face.

Eric said he caught a suspect from the Hellfire Club, but this little guy doesn't look like one at all!

"He is not."

Charles, however, shook his head and said firmly.

He has already read Bradley's memories and can confirm that the other party is not Shaw's person.

"Charles, are you sure?"

Eric walked up to Charles, looking at him with great reluctance, and pressed him for an answer, "Did you use your power?"

“I’m sorry, Eric, but he really isn’t.” Charles shook his head.

Eric immediately looked very disappointed and kicked a small pebble at his feet in a fit of anger.

He had been tracking Xiao for so many years, and the only time he succeeded was about two months ago on the cruise ship.

That time, he ruthlessly attempted to assassinate Xiao, but not only did Xiao escape, he also almost lost his own life.

If Charles hadn't intervened, Eric would definitely have drowned in the icy water.

The most important reason Eric agreed to let Charles stay in the CIA over the past two months was that he could use CIA resources to investigate Shaw.

But to everyone's surprise, they have gained nothing in the past two months.

They finally caught someone, but it turned out they caught the wrong person.

How could Eric not be frustrated?

Mora couldn't help but sigh.

Shaw was not only a target for Eric and Charles, but also for the CIA, which was the opportunity for the two sides to cooperate.

“I’ve said it before, whoever you think I am, you’re wrong,” Bradley immediately interjected in his defense. “You’ve arrested the wrong person!”

"Yes, we arrested the wrong person."

Charles is a man who readily admits his mistakes, and he apologized to Bradley, saying, "If my friend and I have caused you any trouble, I apologize."

"Forget it," Bradley shrugged, unconcerned. "I guess I can't leave anyway, right?"

Regardless of what kind of organization it is, once an outsider knows the location of their base, it's impossible for them to leave at will.

Bradley had at least worked with Stryker before, so he wasn't that naive.

“Things aren’t as simple as you think.” Charles didn’t deny it, glancing at Mora and Eric. “I think we might be in some trouble.”

"Go in and talk!"

Agent Mora and Charles exchanged a glance, and the group rushed into the base.

After taking Bradley away and assigning him to be under close guard, Mora, Charles, and Eric met in the office.

"Charles, what exactly is going on?"

Agent Mora asked impatiently.

"Wait a moment."

Before Charles could speak, Eric suddenly spoke up, suggesting, "Why don't we call Rorschach in too?"

"Isn't this a bit too early?" Charles hesitated slightly.

He wanted to wait until afterwards to talk to Eric about Rorschach's performance on the "field mission" before deciding how open he would be to Rorschach.

“Charles, he’s already involved! Once he’s involved, he has no way out, and besides, I think he’s ready.”

Eric said it with a very certain tone.

Charles was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that Eric would speak so highly of Rorschach after just one mission.

But Charles also trusted Eric a lot, and he immediately shrugged: "If Mora won't mind."

Moira Maktague, a CIA secret agent.

While investigating Black King Shaw, he discovered the incredible group of mutants and consulted Charles, an expert in genetics.

The two parties thus reached a cooperation agreement.

From then on, Agent Mora became one of the mutants' most trusted partners, and also Charles's lover from his youth.

It's just that there were some bumps in their relationship.

"Rorschach? Is that the young man who went out with Eric yesterday?" Mora couldn't help but ask. "So he's the one you and Eric chose? Is he the only one?"

“He’s the only one right now, but I believe this is only temporary,” Charles nodded.

“OK.” Mora hesitated for a moment before agreeing. “He was involved in this whole affair. Charles, call him in.”

"I'm sorry, Mora, my abilities don't work on Rorschach, so I'd appreciate it if you could send someone to fetch him."

Charles said with a hint of helplessness.

"It doesn't work? Rorschach is also a psychic?" Mora was immediately surprised. "I thought he was a power-type psychic."

“To be honest, I don’t know either. He’s completely different from the other psychic I’ve met.” Charles shook his head.

He had clashed with the White Queen remotely on the ship, but she completely blocked his senses.

Charles could clearly sense the White Queen's psychic abilities, but Rorschach, on the other hand, had no idea why his own abilities weren't working.

"What an interesting guy."

Mora was genuinely curious about Rorschach, so he immediately ordered one of his subordinates to summon him.

Rorschach soon appeared before everyone.

“Rorschach, this is Agent Mora, I believe you should have heard of him,” Charles briefly introduced Rorschach.

Although this base is a CIA base, in reality, people like Mora rarely show their faces, except for some low-level agents stationed there.

"Agent Mora, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Me too!"

The two exchanged brief greetings and then took their seats.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's begin."

Charles tapped the table lightly with his hand, drawing everyone's attention.

Chapter 009 Strengthening and Power Enhancement

"Bradley is not one of Shaw's men, but rather comes from a secret military task force."

"That's right, that task force is a mutant task force."

"Moreover... they have been doing some illegal things for a long time."

……

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Charles slowly began to speak.

He shared the relevant memories he had extracted from Bradley's mind with everyone.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became oppressive.

This matter has actually involved military forces, which is indeed quite troublesome.

"So, Rorschach and I killed two military mutant agents and captured one alive?"

Eric raised an eyebrow, feeling quite troubled.

"Eric, you killed someone? What happened? I thought you were just going to chat with someone, like you always have."

Agent Mora was completely bewildered.

It's just a recruitment job, how did it turn into a death?

“Agent Mora, we were just acting in self-defense,” Rorschach explained earnestly. “They wanted to kill us for no reason, and we had no choice.”

Following that, Rorschach briefly explained the situation to Mora and Charles.

After hearing this, Mora frowned deeply, like an old chrysanthemum blooming in late autumn.

Clearly, the other two agents were there to silence the defector.

Eric and Rorschach were simply caught up in it by accident.

This matter was of great importance, and Mora and his men dared not be negligent in the slightest. They immediately ordered Bradley to be brought over and interrogated.

However, Bradley kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word no matter how Mora interrogated him.

In the end, it was Charles who used his ability to read Bradley's memories and obtain more information from him.

“William Stryker, Mora, it was William Stryker who assembled that mutant task force!”

Charles's expression grew even more unpleasant.
