American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 89 Confession

The Marvel universe.

Li Buying opened his eyes and reappeared in his not-so-safe but cozy little house. Full of energy, he had no desire to go out and uphold justice. He sat on the bed and continued to craft his words.

Hopefully, Lorna won't faint from hearing what he did. As for his identity as a weaver, Li Buying felt she should reveal it, otherwise, it would be terrible if misunderstandings arose later.

Ai Yi returned to her basement to enhance her power. After completing some tasks assigned by Li Buying, she is currently searching for valuable items hidden by the authorities.

The prototype of the Sentinel robot, which should be nearing completion, is the one capable of replicating mutant abilities.

Sentinel robots are powerful robots that appear in X-Men: Days of Future Past. They are likely bio-mechanical and Magneto's metal manipulation abilities are ineffective against them.

Because the authorities studied Mystique's shapeshifting cells, they added extremely strong data simulation capabilities to the Sentinel robots. Simply put, they can replicate whatever mutant ability destroys them.

A single robot is not very powerful, but once it is mass-produced, the mutant data will be entered into the database of other Sentinel robots through the network as long as a Sentinel robot is not destroyed.

Simply put, it will become stronger and stronger. Ai is currently searching for the location of this research lab for two reasons.

One is that it plans to use their code to create "variant" modules of its own nanometals that are similar to them.

Secondly, it was to prepare for the major event that would probably not happen for more than ten years, and to lay the groundwork by slightly altering the programs of these sentinel robots.

As the Sentinel robots grow stronger, Ai can easily destroy them and their databases with just a little manipulation.

Well, even though at the current rate of growth, its master might be invincible in more than ten years, the necessary preparations still need to be made.

……

Time flies like an arrow, and as Li Buying waited anxiously, he finally saw the day Lorna would return.

The boy arranged the dishes he had prepared in advance, watching the time tick by as he sat at home waiting for Lorna to return. The sound of the door unlocking rang out, and her still-energetic voice reached his ears.

"Oh~, sweetheart! Bro! My favorite! I'm back!"

Lorna pushed open the door with a bright smile. Seeing her older brother's face, which she hadn't seen in a long time, she was very happy. She rushed over, hugged Li Buying tightly, and gave him a big kiss.

After they parted, Lorna stuck out her tongue and smiled, "Oh, darling, did you miss me?"

"Of course I missed you. Anyway, let's eat first. I have something important to tell you."

Reaching out to knead Lorna's face, her fingers slid down her hair, Li Buying relaxed her tense face and smiled as well. She withdrew her hand from her waist, looked up, and pointed with her chin at the Chinese and American dishes on the table.

Lorna took her seat. Having often eaten Li Buying's cooking since childhood, she wasn't a picky eater and could eat both Chinese and American food. As she ate, she wondered what Li Buying wanted to say to her, given her solemn manner...

Wait, could it be that my mutant identity has been discovered?

Lorna was startled and quickly reassured herself that such a thing shouldn't happen, while feeling extremely uneasy.

During the meal, Lorna kept talking about her experiences at school in order to put Li Buying at ease, and Li Buying listened quietly as usual.

Upon hearing "I recently went on a picnic in the mountains with my classmates," I finally couldn't help but think to myself, "So going to fight with the fraternity is what you call a picnic?"

After finishing her meal, Li Buying, adhering to the virtue of not speaking while eating, put the dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher, opened the basement hatch, and said, "Lorna, let's go downstairs and talk."

"They're not going to lock me up inside, are they?"

Lorna Dane, lost in thought, brushed her long hair aside slightly, her mind wandering to some rather embarrassing things, as she followed Li Buying into the basement.

However, as soon as she entered the basement, what she saw below stunned her—

Inside is a faceless, petite blonde girl whose features, except for her lips, are constantly being sculpted.

"Oh my God—"

Before she could even cry out in terror, Li Buying covered her mouth and raised her index finger to signal her to be quiet. She only let go of Lorna after she had recovered from her shock.

Still shaken, Lorna looked at Ai, who stood up and bowed, saying, "Miss Lorna."

"Brother, what is this...?"

"Anyway, sit down first. I have a lot to tell you. First of all, I am a superhuman, not a mutant."

Li Buying raised his hand and swung down a wooden stake. The stake flew up and landed beside the two of them, much to Lorna's surprise. Before his sister could speak, he said again:

"I also know you're a mutant; I saw you at Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youngsters."

Knowing beforehand that her brother was a superpowered individual, Lorna was a little hesitant but not frightened upon hearing this: "When did you get there? I didn't see you."

"That's what I'm going to say next, remember not to tell anyone."

"Okay, I promise."

Seeing Li Buying's serious expression, Lorna subconsciously became serious as well. When she saw what he took out, her eyes widened, and she was still quite startled.

Li Buying took out the [Weaver] mask and put it directly on her head.

"Brother, are you... a weaver?"

……

After about an hour of explanation, Lorna finally understood most of Li Buying's situation.

"In short, you were kidnapped on your birthday and your superpower to travel to other worlds was activated. Each time you travel to a new world, your power increases or your original power becomes stronger."

"Such abilities as Spider-Man, including prophetic abilities and the ability to manipulate gravity..."

"Yes, Ai is the liquid metal robot I brought from another world."

Li Buying slightly modified the situation to make it easier for Lorna to understand, and Ai Yi waved her hand, instantly conjuring up a luminous substance.

Lorna nodded with difficulty. Although it was hard to believe, the truth was indeed right in front of her, and she had no choice but to accept it.

After a moment of silence, the girl reached out and hugged Li Buying: "Brother, I've kept this from you for so long, and you're the one who told me the situation first. I'm sorry."

"...I had considered many of your possible reactions, but you actually apologized first."

Li Buying hugged Lorna Dane tightly, feeling the softness of her body, and rubbed her cheek against hers:

"It's nothing. I know you're scared too, afraid that I'll reject you like other humans do. Just know one thing: in my heart, you are the person I love most."

"Um……"

Lorna couldn't help but sob. She was under a lot of pressure hiding the secret that she was a mutant from Li Buying. Fortunately, it turned out that the person she loved most was not an ordinary human either.

Nestled against Li Buying's chest, Lorna felt his warmth and didn't want to get up.
