American comics: Starting with mutants

42. William Stryker's Plot

If you don't see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much.

Putting aside the fact that Ethan didn't particularly like Professor X when he watched the movie in his previous life, the fact that his girlfriend Jean didn't like seeing Professor X again meant that he and Professor X could never become friends.

That being the case...

What's the point of chatting then?

He's already flexed his muscles. If Professor X and the others don't know what's good for them, then there's no need to wait for the Sentinels to be born; he can sweep the X-Men into the dustbin of history next time.

Let's let it go this time.

He and Jean came to New York City at Natasha's invitation, and he genuinely wanted to be friends with Natasha.

Even if you don't respect the monk, you should respect the Buddha.

Ethan thought to himself as he returned to the cabin and smiled at Jean, who was sitting quietly in her seat, saying, "That guy's got a hard head."

Jean glanced at Ethan, knowing he was deliberately trying to get her to speak, and said calmly, "Logan's entire skeleton has been replaced with indestructible adamantium."

Ethan sat down opposite Qin.

indestructible.

Really? He didn't believe it.

Once I've repaired this body and absorbed enough energy, and my eyesight improves, I could blow up anything, not just Adamantium, but the entire Earth.

Ethan thought to himself.

Natasha, outside the cabin, rubbed her temples with a headache. Looking at Ethan returning to the cabin, she lowered her arm and asked Professor X, who was sitting in a wheelchair, with a puzzled expression, "Professor, who told you we were coming back?"

Professor X was currently calming Logan's agitated mind within his inner world.

Upon hearing this, Storm looked at Natasha curiously: "Didn't you text us that Jean was back in New York City?"

Natasha looked at Storm and shook her head with a serious expression.

"I have never sent such a text message."

"impossible."

Storm immediately took out her phone, opened the text message, and then turned the phone screen towards Natasha.

into the eye.

"hiss!"

Natasha gasped when she saw the text message Storm showed her, which was indeed from her phone number. She found her own phone, opened the message, and showed it to Storm: "I definitely never sent you a message."

The words fell.

Natasha and Storm exchanged a glance.

next second.

Natasha seemed to have thought of something.

"William Stryker!"

"...What?"

Storm didn't react at first when she heard Natasha mention the name. After a while, she realized what Natasha had said and looked up at Natasha again.

However, Natasha didn't offer any further explanation. Instead, she looked seriously at Storm and Professor X, who had just calmed Wolverine's agitated mind, and said, "You should go now, Professor."

Storm frowned, wanting to say something, but Professor X stopped her.

"professor."

"Let's go back first."

Professor X said in a deep voice, then turned to Natasha and said, "If Jean wants to talk to me, I'm always available."

Natasha nodded.

"If Jean is willing to see you, I will tell you, Professor."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, take care, Professor."

Natasha watched politely as Professor X, along with a hesitant Storm and a seemingly dazed Wolverine, got back into their car and left the hangar. Only then did she involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief.

after awhile.

Ethan, Jean, and a younger version of Natasha emerged from the cabin.

Natasha, watching Ethan descend again, showed a hint of helplessness in her expression, but still said to him, "Thank you."

She knew perfectly well that Ethan had only held back because of her.

Otherwise, things wouldn't have ended there.

Wolverine, with his incredible healing factor, might not die on the spot, but Storm and Professor X would certainly die instantly.

After all, Ethan's mutant abilities are a natural counter to all offensive mutants.

As for Professor X, who is Ethan's natural enemy, with Jean protecting Ethan's inner world, killing Professor X would be as easy as killing a chicken for Ethan.

but……

Natasha, recalling the text message she'd just seen on Storm's phone, said in a low voice, "I didn't text them that you were coming to New York City, but they received my message. It must be from William Stryker."

After all, the only suspect with the motive to do this is William Stryker.

Although we don't yet know how William Stryker did it, we can roughly guess the significance of what he did.

William Stryker intended to use Jean Grey to incite conflict between Ethan and the X-Men, attempting to use one to kill the other, and to eliminate Ethan, who had been relentlessly pursuing him ever since he emerged from the X-11 cloning facility.

but!

Thinking of this, Natasha of SHIELD suddenly smiled and looked at Ethan, saying, "William Stryker probably thought you were someone who would explode at the slightest provocation and was not to be trifled with after seeing you destroy the temporary air force base and the underwater cloning base at Maple Lake, but he didn't expect you to have such a good temper."

Ethan shook his head and laughed, "I don't have a good temper, Natasha. This is only because of you, since you invited us to New York City. But this is the first and only time."

Natasha of Shield nodded.

"Understood, let's go then."

"Can."

Ethan nodded, took the pianist's hand, and got into the black Chevrolet SUV that Natasha had helped open.

Natasha then said to her younger self, "You sit in the passenger seat."

The younger version of Natasha responded with a sound.

soon.

After receiving the car keys from the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Natasha drove the black Chevrolet SUV herself, along with her younger self, Ethan, and Jean in the back seat, out of the hangar.

The remaining two black Chevrolet SUVs followed closely behind, driving out of the hangar together. One of the Chevrolet SUVs accelerated and drove in front of Natasha's Chevrolet, then took the lead and acted as the one clearing the way.

After leaving John F. Kennedy International Airport, three black Chevrolet SUVs escorted the car driven by Natasha in the middle, speeding towards Times Square, where the SHIELD headquarters in New York was located.

However, not long after the three black Chevrolet SUVs drove out of the airport and onto the road leading to Manhattan Island, three black Toyotas also swerved left and right and closely followed behind the Chevrolet SUVs.

"They didn't fight?"

"I don't know, proceed with Plan B."

"The master said that they cannot be allowed to reach SHIELD New York. They must be stopped before SHIELD New York. Those clones have already been dealt with."

"Let's do it."

"clear!"

"receive!"
