American comics: Starting with mutants

New York City is an international metropolis.

The definition of an international metropolis is that it has a large population and a large number of cemeteries.

Woodlawn Cemetery is one of them, and it is also known as one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the United States.

The cemetery is lush with trees and green grass, lacking the gloomy feeling of other cemeteries. Instead, it gives people a comfortable feeling of being here.

Of course.

In the West, money is the synonym for comfort.

The more money you have, the more comfortable you are.

The cemetery is no exception, but Ethan and Jean have been living in New York City for over a month and have already received their first month's S.H.I.E.L.D. security allowance.

and so……

He bought a cemetery plot on a whim.

At this moment.

As the cemetery staff worked together to unload the coffin, they glanced at a man and a woman wearing sunglasses standing not far away.

The man is handsome and dashing.

The woman had red hair and a cold demeanor.

They were a little confused as to why there was no ceremony at all, since neither of the two people seemed to be short of money.

Qin also couldn't understand it.

As she watched the coffin being lowered into the ground, she lowered her voice and said to Ethan, who was standing beside her, "Wasn't it supposed to be cremation?"

Ethan shook his head.

"I don't want to."

Why?

"Although you are not her, she was once you, so I don't want to burn her."

"..."

Jean turned her head to look at Ethan, who was speaking.

Ethan stood with his hands in his pockets, quietly watching the workers begin the burial process after the coffin was placed inside.

The tombstone has been erected.

Jean Grey.

August 8, 1988 – March 5, 2011!

The most familiar stranger, Jean Grey.

The one who died was Jean Grey three years ago, while the one whose monument was erected is Jean Grey three years later.

I don't want to burn you.

Even if she isn't you.

Jean read Ethan's inner thoughts from his inner world, withdrew her gaze while hiding the smile on her lips, and then turned her gaze back to the tombstone in front of her.

"If we don't burn it down, someone will have their eyes on this place."

"fine."

Ethan chuckled. "They can choose to come here and do bad things to Jean Grey, who is now laid to rest, as long as they can withstand my wrath."

He had previously worried that a second William Stryker would emerge.

But Ethan quickly changed his mind and stopped worrying.

The old man once said something like that.

They can start a war, but how to end it is not up to them, but up to us.

and so……

Come on.

As long as they can bear the consequences of Ethan settling scores with everyone connected to them after they do this, it's fine.

soon.

The cemetery staff finished their work, and a brand new grave appeared in Ethan and Jean's sight.

Ethan placed a flower in front of the tombstone.

Qin placed the flowers she was holding in front of the tombstone, then looked at the tombstone with only inscriptions and no photo, smiled, stood up, looked around at the scenery, and then said to Ethan, "The scenery here is nice, she must have liked it here, let's go."

Ethan nodded, looked at the left hand that Qin offered, took it, and walked out of the cemetery, saying, "The timing is perfect. We can get to the hospital right at the time of our appointment with Dr. Hogg."

Dr. Hogg is a doctor at New Amsterdam Hospital and also a well-known OB-GYN in New York City.

Victoria Hand introduced them to Dr. Hogg, who became Qin's private physician before she gave birth. Dr. Hogg was responsible for monitoring Qin's various indicators during her pregnancy to ensure the baby's safe delivery.

Ethan was very grateful to Victoria for this.

but……

He always had this feeling that Victoria seemed more nervous than he and Qin about the little life that was growing inside Qin's belly for almost a month.

Think about it.

If Ethan and Jean have offspring, it means that their lives will be completely stable, and the world will be happy to have two fewer villains who could destroy the world at any moment.

The premise is that this little life can be born successfully.

and so!

When Ethan and Jean arrived at the New Amsterdam Hospital, Jean got out of the car and greeted Victoria, who seemed to have been waiting there for some time, with some surprise.

"Victoria".

"The zither."

Victoria, who was waiting downstairs for the two, saw Qin approaching and her eyes lit up: "You're here."

Ethan nodded: "Just came from Woodlawn's."

Upon hearing this, Victoria put her arm around Qin's and said, "Alright, let's go. Don't keep Dr. Hogg waiting."

talking.

Victoria, without a second thought, took Qin's arm and walked into the hospital building in front of her.

Ethan, who was following behind, blinked as he watched the two women's backs, then shook his head without saying anything and followed them directly.

An hour later.

Wearing glasses and with her hair tied up, Dr. Hogg, who was in her fifties but looked like she was in her thirties, took out a few sheets of paper, wiped Qin's stomach while she was lying on the examination bed, and then walked out first.

Just as Ethan was about to ask about the situation.

Victoria has already taken the lead.

"Hogg, how's it going?"

"……good."

Ethan raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by 'okay'?"

Dr. Hogg didn't speak. Instead, he sat down and opened the newly released test results on his computer. Frowning, he said to Victoria, "Although all the indicators are still within the standard range, this test result is a bit lower than the one a week ago. If we weren't friends for so many years, I would have called the women and children's protection agency."

Why?

"I suspect you are abusing her."

"..."

Who are you abusing?

琴？

Are you crazy?

When she's unhappy, she kicks my memory bookshelf like crazy.

You can't mistreat her, no matter who you are. If she gets unhappy, the whole world will probably get unhappy too.

Ethan and Victoria exchanged a glance.

Dr. Hogg explained, "When a new life is conceived, before it grows up, its nutrition comes from the mother. The baby is too young to be tested, but according to Qin's own examination results, Qin is severely malnourished. I have only seen this once before."

Victoria breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"So, this isn't an isolated case. Is there a treatment option?"

"hehe."

Dr. Hogg chuckled and looked at Victoria: "The last person to have this problem was a Black pregnant woman carrying deceps."

He paused for a moment.

Dr. Hogg looked at Victoria and Ethan and added a sentence.

"The last Black pregnant woman died when she was six months pregnant."

"One corpse, eleven lives!"

"..."
