American comics: Starting with mutants

"You saw them?"

"Yes."

How many people?

Ethan asked curiously, because Jean had only said that more than a hundred had run out, but did not know the exact number.

After all, 101 and 199 are both over 100, but the difference is significant.

Sitting to the side, Jean glanced at Ethan, who was internally complaining. After thinking for a moment, the chibi version of Jean, who was in Ethan's mental world, looked down at her own little feet and gave up the idea of ​​kicking him.

The younger version of Natasha said, "One hundred and twenty people."

Earlier, after Ethan and Jean entered the wetland forest, she and Lincoln initially planned to escape, but later, worried about Ethan and Jean's safety, they turned back. Then they saw the base soldiers who had been killed. When they arrived at Maple Lake, Ethan had already entered the underground base, although Jean was still on the shore.

but……

Jean's appearance was so icy that neither the younger version of Natasha nor Lincoln dared to approach her.

Finally, they saw the clones leave the passage one after another. At first, it was chaotic, but after Qin frowned slightly, they seemed to reach some kind of agreement and headed towards another town in the wetland forest.

After exchanging a glance with Lincoln, she quickly followed, because both of them knew they were clones and were unsure whether the outside world treated them the same way the cloning base treated them.

So the two of them calmed down the 120 clones who had come out and did not rush into the town across the way, but remained in the wetland forest.

It was at that moment that the younger version of Natasha thought of Ethan again, so she turned back and found the place by looking at the cars parked on the side of the road in the town.

Upon hearing what the younger version of Natasha had said, Ethan seemed to realize why she had come: "So, you came to me hoping I could settle you down?"

Upon hearing this, the younger version of Natasha gave a wry smile.

"Sir, we don't know where we can go."

"Now you know."

"What?"

"Oh..."

Ethan pointed at Agent Natasha of S.H.I.E.L.D. and said with a smile, "Better late than never. The person who can settle you in is right here."

In this world, no matter what, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s strength will always be the number one organization in the open.

none of them.

Five philanthropists joined forces, authorized by the World Security Council.

On the surface, probably no organization has a stronger background or influence than S.H.I.E.L.D.

The clone was revealed to be part of his plan targeting William Stryker.

Exposing it to S.H.I.E.L.D. now would be ideal. At the very least, once the clone is fully exposed, his attempt to kill William Stryker will be on the moral high ground.

As a great man once said, if you don't occupy the battleground of public opinion, someone else will.

Agent Natasha of S.H.I.E.L.D. smiled as Ethan pointed at her, then looked at the younger version of Natasha and said, "Where are you now? I'll send someone over."

The younger version of Natasha looked at her more mature self, pursed her lips, and gave the coordinates she had seen in the wetland forest.

Agent Natasha of S.H.I.E.L.D. nodded, took out her phone, and dialed the number on the spot.

after awhile.

She got up from the sofa and said to the younger version of Natasha, "Let's go..."

Before the words were finished...

The younger version of Natasha suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, then rolled her eyes and instinctively fell backward.

S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Natasha quickly helped the younger version of Natasha up.

Qin said from the side, "She didn't take her growth-inhibiting medication today."

If mutant clones do not receive a daily injection of growth-inhibiting drugs, they will age, but if ordinary clones do not receive daily injections, they will not only age but also become weak and faint.

Upon hearing this, Ethan glanced at the piano beside him and frowned, saying, "We only have seventy-nine left. Those are for you."

Jean glanced calmly at the two Natashas: "She's my friend."

If the X-Men are memories that Jean Grey doesn't want to recall, then Natasha Romanoff is an exception.

Perhaps, maybe, it's because women who have been hurt in the past are attracted to each other?

Ethan didn't understand either.

But upon hearing Qin's words, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he got up, took out the growth-inhibiting potion he had previously stored from his luggage, and gave it to the younger version of Natasha, who had fainted in the arms of Agent Natasha.

The medicine works so quickly that it takes effect with just one injection.

The younger version of Natasha opened her eyes instantly, took a couple of deep breaths, and then noticed the syringe in Ethan's hand.

That's why she came here tonight.

The younger version of Natasha quickly spoke up and made her request.

"Sir, do you have any extra antiviral medication?"

"Antiviral medication?"

Upon hearing this, Ethan looked at the syringe in his hand, then at the younger version of Natasha: "You mean this thing?"

Qin, who was standing nearby, explained, "She was referring to the growth-suppressing drug. The base here fabricated a story that the outside world was a wasteland, and that they were survivors who needed to be injected with the drug every day to avoid being infected by the virus. This is why they inject them with the growth-suppressing drug every day."

Ethan suddenly realized, and then looked at the younger version of Natasha.

How many do you want?

"We have that there..."

"I can give you eight."

Ethan quickly interrupted the younger version of Natasha's speech.

Good guy.

He obtained a total of eighty vials from the cloning base. He had given one to Jean and another to the teenage version of Natasha, leaving him with seventy-eight. After giving away eight, he had seventy left, enough for Jean to use for seventy days.

The younger version of Natasha opened her mouth.

S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Natasha frowned as she looked at the syringe in Ethan's hand.

"Excuse me, Ethan, this growth-inhibiting drug is..."

"This is a backdoor left by William Stryker to control us clones. If clones don't receive the injection, they will age faster every day than they ever have, and eventually die."

"etc……"

Agent Natasha of S.H.I.E.L.D. seemed to have heard something unbelievable: "William Stryker, what does he have to do with this? Isn't the cloning facility that Dr. Merrick?"

Ethan looked at the somewhat shocked S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Natasha with some curiosity: "Don't you know? Whether it's the cloning base here, or the base where Jean and I escaped from, and oh right, the temporary air force base you mentioned before, William Stryker is the mastermind behind it all."

Agent Natasha of S.H.I.E.L.D. took a deep breath, her expression one of disbelief.

"That's impossible."

Why?

"Because William Stryker has been arrested."
