American comic book police officer survival manual

"My God..."

The cleaning tools slipped from Raven's hands unconsciously. He watched as the girl in the lab broke free of her restraints with a roar.

Those vines that seemed to grow out of nowhere, as if carrying her anger, instantly seized the terrified professor by the throat in a fit of rage, lifting him high off the ground.

"You deserve to die!!!"

This professor she once revered, her mentor whom she respected so much... had only wanted to use her life from beginning to end to complete this cruel sacrifice.

Pamela was consumed by hysterical rage. She completely ignored the professor's pleading eyes and unleashed her fury in a frenzy!

Vines pierced Wood's body like sharp arrows, and the plant, constantly oozing venom, prevented the despicable man from even uttering a scream.

In an instant, his life was shattered by the plants.

"Ha ha..."

After the frenzied killing, Pamela, panting heavily, looked at her reflection in the glass in fear.

The girl in the mirror has completely turned into the color of plants.

Pale green skin, leaves and vines growing from flesh and blood...

She, who merely maintains a human form, may no longer be able to be called human...

"..."

Feeling the girl in the lab looking at him, Raven felt a chill run down his spine in fear.

In fear, Mystique instinctively shifted her body, adjusting it to the most suitable stance for combat.

However, Pamela, lost in confusion and pain, had no energy left to care about this strange being who could transform into other people.

Having been reduced to such a monstrous form, how will they survive in the future?

To hide from everyone's gaze and then eke out the rest of one's life?

Thinking of this, the girl curled up in endless fear, tears streaming down her helpless face.

In this city of despair, she was ultimately all alone...

"Pamela!!!"

A hoarse roar came from afar, startling the girl in the corner awake.

Police officers who get lost on campus are unable to reach the scene immediately.

That fool who ran wildly in the dead of night could only search every corner of the academy as he ran, shouting with all his might, trying to get some response.

Is he still looking for me?

The girl's fear and anxiety were temporarily relieved. She looked up and saw Mystique standing in the corridor, looking extremely embarrassed.

"No... I can't let Lucius see what I look like..."

Looking at herself in the mirror, who was no different from a monster, Pamela's voice slowly rose, her eyes filled with trembling determination.

She had to get away from him, she absolutely had to get away from him... She had to find a way to turn back into a human, she absolutely couldn't give up at this time!

"You... can transform into other people, right?"

Controlling the vines around her to gradually extend and seal off the entire corridor, Pamela slowly turned her head and stared intently at the woman in the corridor with an incredibly terrifying gaze.

She had just seen it; this strange guy could transform into the appearance of a cleaner, and then revert back to his strange blue skin.

"Become me and persuade Lucius to leave! Now!!!"

Driven by intense fear, Pamela rushed out of the laboratory and used force to compel Mystique to cooperate!

"Become you??? Are you kidding me!!!"

She choked on her breath, and looking at Pamela's furious face, Mystique was filled with grief and indignation.

She shouldn't have been here, shouldn't have tried to find the flaws in her transformation, and shouldn't have tried to fool Lucius with this woman's appearance!

"You think I haven't tried? I can transform into anyone and fool that guy! But if I transform into you, I can't even last three seconds!"

Driven to desperation, Mystique jumped up and down in a rage, cursing wildly. She was the one who found it most absurd and incomprehensible!

Because of her partner's prediction, she has been keeping an eye on that playboy for almost a year!

In order to get close to him and obtain crucial information and intelligence, Mystique has to transform into various people close to him, and even sacrifice her body to learn about him and find ways to get closer to him.

All of Mystique did was to bring him to the mutant camp as soon as he gained his powers!

Previously, the plan had gone incredibly smoothly. Although that damned guy hadn't awakened, he had never been able to see through Mystique's transformation.

She only needed to transform into one of the beauties Lucius knew, and with a mere wave of her hand, that boy would come running to her.

But after arriving in Gotham, everything changed!!

Feeling incredibly aggrieved, Mystique stared at Pamela, her voice filled with resentment:

"Why do you think I'm here? I just don't know what's so special about you that made that guy instantly realize we're different!"

"Lucius...can he recognize him?"

Pamela stared wide-eyed as she watched Mystique transform into her likeness, unable to process this bombshell news for a moment.

Looking at the "other self" before her, Pamela couldn't even tell how she was different from her former self.

But...Lucius...

"Pamela!!!"

The angry and anxious roars grew closer, and for a moment, Pamela felt that the shouts sounded somewhat familiar.

The last time was when Lucius called out like that, it seems, after he injured his leg, when he was being driven home by Lucius.

What was supposed to be a normal farewell turned into something else entirely. Suddenly, Lucius called out to him anxiously and rushed to his front door...

so.

It was at that moment that she became herself, which made Lucius wary and even worried about her safety.

The strange experiences of the past seemed to have finally been explained. Looking at the indignant Mystique, Pamela was speechless for a moment, but a certain string in her heart seemed to have been plucked hard, and she couldn't let it go for a long time...

"..."

Seeing the girl in front of her wiping away tears of emotion, Mystique suddenly felt like a complete failure.

She arrived a year early, a whole year early, but she didn't have the same smooth journey as this woman who arrived a week early.

Good heavens... this girl and Lucius have only known each other for a few days? Have they already gotten this close?

For a moment, Mystique felt as if she had become a giant light bulb, a messenger pigeon conveying some kind of emotion between these two damned guys.

"Fuck..."

Cursing under her breath, Mystique could never forgive the humiliation she had just suffered.

She'll remember this debt!

We will repay them a hundredfold in the future!

Ignoring Mystique's emotions, Pamela, wiping away her tears, muttered softly amidst a strange mix of feelings.

"This can't go on... I need to calm down... and go back to normal..."

"I'm going to see Lucius..."

As her emotions stabilized and she gained a vague sense of control over her power, the green color on Pamela's body slowly faded away... and the growing green leaves and vines also disappeared one by one.

Seeing the fully recovered girl fixing her makeup in front of the glass, Mystique breathed a sigh of relief and now just wanted to escape this place.

"May I leave now?"

Pointing to the corridor blocked by vines, Mystique had never felt so embarrassed in all her years of life.

"No, you also have to look like Professor Wood and help me fool Lucius."

"...shit!"
