Chapter 103 Claws poking towards the Far East
James flipped through the information brought back by Bucky and Asazo.
His Russian is average, and he can only understand the general idea, which are all unimportant experimental logs and redundant data.
"Take it to the ground. After the translator is finished, let Dr. Erskine and Zola slowly chew on it, and continue to track Sebastian Shaw. Although he is not a direct threat to us at present, this mutation Transformation experiment, I don't like it very much."
Colin Pete stood in front of James and nodded respectfully. Bucky was a little absent-minded, as if there was something urgent to do.
"Okay, let's all go down, tomorrow Colin will organize everyone, and the wedding will be more lively."
Bucky's eyes lit up, and he proposed the unknown wedding customs in Brooklyn. Under James' disgusted eyes, he left the study resentfully.
Downstairs in the room of Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter, Steve, who had just finished today's cub training course, was holding a long ebony box in his hand, and walked gently to the desk where he was studying and judging information. Beside Peggy, put the box on the table, leaned over and kissed her cheek.
"This is?"
Once the British Rose, Agent Carter of MI6 wore a well-fitting indigo dress, with fluffy hair coiled up, touching the delicate wooden box, and looking at Steve curiously.
"Open it and have a look." Rogers blinked with a smile on his lips.
In the black wooden box of unknown material, there are two dark silver pistols with strange shapes on the velvet satin. Commonly used automatic pistols.
The handle of the gun is inlaid with black wood, which is native to tropical virgin forests in Africa. It can grow to a height of more than ten meters, but the growth cycle is very slow, so the wood is dense and delicate. There are protruding lines in the shape of roses and thorns on the gun body.
Under the pistol, there is also a row of large-caliber, bright silver, pointed and long bullets with a gray texture.
"The gun body is all made of [Secondary Adamantium Alloy], and the bullets are [Prototype Adamantium Alloy], which is the same material as my shield. The bullets can be reused, but it may be troublesome to recycle. Large caliber ordinary pistol bullets can be used."
Steve picked up one of them, played with it, and introduced it to Peggy.
"This is a wedding gift from your teacher. He heard that you have great marksmanship."
Miss Carter held it in her hand and looked carefully, her eyes full of surprises. She is a very powerful sharpshooter, but she often uses small-caliber pistols or concealed spy pistols.
This pair of special pistols, which have reached the extreme in terms of material and craftsmanship, seemed a bit too big for her, but Peggy still couldn't put it down a little bit, and suddenly saw a small card pressed under the body of the gun. Elegantly written—
"Guns N' Roses", Ms. Peggy Carter who blooms with thorns.
Peggy raised her head suddenly, her eyes blinked, her cheeks blushed faintly, and she asked in a magnetic London voice, "Is Mr. Howlett really single all this time?"
Steve froze suddenly, frowned, and sat on the table with his head tilted, as if he was recalling something.
"Well, there must be no shortage of women around the teacher. Ahem, of course I haven't studied this aspect, but he has never had a public partner. It is not easy for a person like him to find a wife."
"Just by using the words 'Guns and Roses', he will definitely win the hearts of many ladies."
Peggy took the gun in Steve's hand, put it back in the box carefully, and put it away carefully holding the wooden box happily.
Steve Rogers looked at Peggy tenderly, but felt a little worried. The wedding of the two of them will be held tomorrow. He is much more nervous than Peggy
The wedding was held in the square in the middle of Howlett’s old house, and people from the Long Island mansion in New York also took it.
Steve’s mother, Ms. Sharon, had moist eyes, looking at her tall and handsome son in an elegant suit and bow tie, and from time to time dabbed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Regarding Steve's so-called "treasonous" matter, she has a steelyard in her heart. She has no regrets as a mother to be with such an excellent lady under the protection and watchful eyes of Mr. Howlett.
Bucky, as the best man, has long hair in a smooth way, standing beside Steve with a smile, watching the bride slowly approaching in the distance.
The old butler, Mr. Casper, held Miss Peggy's hand. His little grandson and granddaughter happened to be flower girls, wearing cute little suits and pink skirts, and sprinkled petals obediently on the back.
Peggy Carter's relatives are far away in the UK. Now her situation is the same as Steve's, and she cannot be exposed to the outside world. However, since she joined the army after her brother died in battle, and has completely settled in the United States, the connection with her family Also faded for many years.
James was the witness of the wedding. Under his witness, the two exchanged oaths, embraced and kissed each other, and then everyone opened champagne and danced lively.
Emma is today's bridesmaid. She got the bouquet thrown by Peggy and came to sit beside James, who was watching them play. Blonde, very elegant.
James watched from a distance as Steve threw Miss Peggy up high, and put her into his arms amidst her hearty laughter and everyone's banter.
"Do you believe in the blessing of holding flowers in hand?"
Emma fiddled with the lilies and roses with water drops still hanging in her hand, and asked casually.
James held the back of the chair behind Emma with his right hand, and seemed to be thinking about this question very seriously. Emma didn't intend to wait for his answer, so she raised her head and said softly:
"How about having dinner tomorrow, Mr. James, I know a good Chinese restaurant."
“I was going to say look at my schedule.”
James showed four sharp canine teeth, deliberately joking, looked at Emma's bright smile and continued: "But I will not refuse Chinese food, how do you know I like Chinese food."
"I have done my homework seriously."
Emma approached James' ear and spoke softly.
A few years later, New York City, near NYU.
"The flirting trick with heterochromatic pupils can't be used often. If you plan to meet female students in the university where you just applied for a teaching position, you'd better have a new trick!"
A beautiful girl with dirty golden wavy hair and a plump figure was speaking resentfully, and said to the young man walking in front with a bit of sarcasm. She quickly caught up with him, surpassed the man, and never looked back. The first entered a bustling bar.
"Raven."
Charles Xavier shook his head helplessly, and followed into the bar. Seeing many beautiful ladies laughing freely, he subconsciously wiped his long but well-manicured hair, straightened his clothes, and felt a little guilty. whispered:
"Just drop by for a drink. If you become a lecturer, you definitely can't have anything to do with students. Don't always think that way about me."
"What do I think, you know best!"
Ruiwen took off her jacket casually, and wore a strapless shirt that highlighted her figure. She tapped her forehead lightly, interrupting Charles' words still very unhappy.
Charles lifted up Ruiwen's clothes a little uncomfortable, trying to cover up more, and argued in a rough tone:
"You know I won't look at your thoughts, heck, this shirt can be pulled up a bit. It's a bit too exposed"
The girl patted Charles' hand off, and gave him a big white look: "I'm an adult, I'm not that little sister who goes out with you to pick up girls and orders a Coke for me!"
Riwen Duckholm looked at several beautiful and hot girls surrounding a handsome man with a cynical look on his mouth, glared at Charles in a demonstrative look, and moved closer.
The man was wearing a black velvet suit jacket, with a tall and straight figure, the shirt inside was buttoned up randomly, very casual, with short brown hair, a thin face, and a bad smile on his face.
He seemed to be performing magic. With his white and slender right fingertips, he lightly tapped the forehead of the boldly dressed girl in front of her. After she dazzled for a moment, the man spread out the palm of his left hand. Inside was a hair that had been deeply buried in the girl's proud face. Silver dolphin pendant on the chest.
The girl looked down, screamed in surprise, snatched back the pendant in the man's palm a little shyly, glanced coquettishly, and yelled after being booed by the ladies around her.
"There is another Eric, I have hidden one too, please look for it~"
Ruiwen stared curiously at the handsome man who was teasing with several girls. Her reaction and eyesight had always been excellent, but she never saw the young man touch the lady's neck. Liu Guang, it seemed that the necklace jumped into the man's hand on his own initiative.
"how did you do it?"
Ruiwen's voice is deeper and more magnetic than most girls, and has a special charm. Eric looked up at this sweet-looking young girl, and smiled freely: "It's just a trick, sit down and play together?"
"Of course, would you like to buy me a glass of wine?"
Ruiwen smiled sweetly, and sat down generously. Eric snapped his fingers at the bartender, and suddenly remembered something. Overshadowing the noisy voice in the bar, he shouted loudly to Ruiwen:
"Aren't you a student at NYU?"
"No, I'm here with my cousin to do some business." Rui Wen said with a playful smile.
Eric grinned, nodded, and ordered something to the bar.
"Ahem! Raven, I think we should go back."
Charles Xavier pulled Ruiwen's arm with a strange expression, and made vague excuses to try to leave. The girl pushed Charles' hand angrily. Eric turned around and explained politely:
"Please don't get me wrong, you must be this—"
"Ruiwen!" The girl sweetly introduced her name to Eric.
"—Miss Ruiwen's cousin, Eric Lanshere, a teaching assistant in the Department of Physics of New York University, if Ruiwen is not a student of this school, then please allow me to buy her a drink."
Eric introduced himself politely, and invited Charles to sit down with him.
Charles touched his temple with his right hand seemingly unintentionally, and seeing the handsome man named Eric invite him sincerely, he suddenly froze in place.
In just a few seconds, Charles took a few breaths, blinked his eyes in a panic, pulled the stools around him indiscriminately, ran to the bar, asked the bartender for a glass of gin, and drank it down in one gulp.
Gritting his teeth, he paused for a moment, as if he had made a difficult decision, and sat down beside Rui Wen.
Eric laughed loudly, and patted Charles on the shoulder. He was taller than Ruiwen's cousin and looked a few years older, and he called the bartender to bring the Daicre cocktail that Ruiwen ordered.
"Girls are drinking this popular recently, rum, lemon juice, and a little sugar, it tastes sweet and pleasant, just like you."
Riwen giggled, this young Mr. Lanshere is very good at dealing with people, he has a free and easy temperament, and is very comfortable to get along with. Although Charles is also very good at communicating with people, Ruiwen doesn't like that feeling.
In addition to thinking that Eric is very interesting, it is also a kind of dissatisfaction with "cousin" Charles.
"Charles Xavier, just finished applying for a lecturer position in bioengineering at New York University. If it goes well, I should be in charge of courses in genetic research."
Charles took the initiative to introduce himself, uncharacteristically ignoring the many beautiful women on the table, his eyes were always fixed on Eric's brown pupils, as if he could read something from them.
"Then you must be very good Charles. You have the qualifications to apply for a lecturer at such a young age. I managed to get a teaching assistant, relying on a little bit of connections from elders. I have a hunch that we will become colleagues."
Eric smiled and laughed at himself indifferently, making him even more open-minded.
Later, Charles and Raven walked towards the Xavier Manor where they lived, which is not far from New York University. This is why Charles chose to teach at New York University after he returned from Oxford with a doctorate a year earlier. s reason.
"I really didn't expect that in order to prevent me from meeting boys, you even ignored a table of beautiful girls. You said that you can rest assured that I will play with boys in such an appearance."
Ruiwen's tone became even more desolate, unlike the "anger" at the beginning, the depression in the girl's eyes was thick and deep.
"Riwen, Mr. Eric Lanshere, is a mutant, just like us."
"Really! I suspect that there is something wrong with his 'trick', which is a good thing, right Charles."
Ruiwen's depression disappeared in an instant, and she didn't resent Charles anymore. She pulled him to ask questions, and was very curious about Eric, but the young Charles Xavier was a little unhappy, he saw too many things.
There are too many pictures that make people like me feel subversive.
"Steve! Doesn't your turtle shell style claim that no one can break it? Hold on for a while longer"
Bucky supported the broken right arm in two, slowly waiting for the broken bones inside to heal together, the cheekbones on his face collapsed, and his handsome appearance was destroyed in a mess.
Steve Rogers slumped against a boulder, his back sank deeply, and thick cracks gradually covered the two-meter-square boulder, which was about to shatter.
The Adamantium alloy shield covered his body, rising and falling with the intense panting of his chest.
The former Stars and Stripes pattern on the shield completely disappeared, replaced by a pair of upright pointed long fangs, with a horizontal scratch in the middle like a sharp claw, forming an H-shaped emblem.
"That's called cloaked boxing, it's not that I carried you on my shoulders, so I'd be useless long ago"
Steve didn't seem to want to get up, and while arguing with Bucky weakly, he bought himself more time to adjust.
"Here we come, get ready! I'll try to hold on for a while, you find a chance, don't throw your fists around."
Baki’s injuries have basically healed in this short period of time, except for his tattered combat uniform, patches of blood stains, sweat and dust sticking to his hair, still looking extremely embarrassed.
He argued that he didn't hit randomly, but missed the hit. He flicked his Adamant alloy left arm, rubbing it and making a strange humming sound.
James Howlett, who seemed to be flowing with thick blood-red flames, had his hands hanging down, his thick and long bone claws almost reaching his ankles, and the bone shields on his arms and the spikes on his elbows were crackling. Covered with fine energy sparks like electric current.
Steve and Bucky looked at the teacher who released the skeletal weapon, and couldn't help but get goosebumps on their bodies. If there is another mistake this time, it's not a joke.
James took a light step forward, without using much force, but the speed of almost pressing against the air barrier still set off a huge momentum, Steve dodged in front of Bucky, piercing screams and sparks splashed all over the place. .
He didn't dare to hesitate. Relying on his fighting intuition and boxing instinct, he blocked from the left and the right, and narrowly escaped the sharp claws that James stabbed at him.
"Hoah!"
Bucky raised his alloy left arm flat, his body was somewhat similar to James, but extraordinarily thin red energy radiated around him, his long hair bulged violently, and hot high-temperature gas spewed out from the gaps in the alloy arm.
The palm of his left hand is in the shape of a claw, he withdraws his steps and closes his fist to accumulate energy, a dark and deep hollow is formed in the palm, the blood light is condensed inside, and all the vigorous energy of the whole body seems to be gathered in it, finally, a fist-sized flaming red energy group compressed.
Boom!
Using the explosive aggregation power technique of the Falling Star Fist and the characteristics of the Adamantium alloy arm, this hand is like the shock wave of an energy cannon, and it shoots at James with the bursting roar of breaking the sound barrier.
Bucky himself was forced back two steps by the inertia when his left arm exploded, and a ring of air ripples with a radius of more than one meter shot out. James happily bared his canine teeth, stretched out his right hand, and took the shot with his palm.
Pfft. Bucky stared dumbfounded at the trick that he had held back for a long time was easily crushed by the teacher. He gritted his teeth, stabbed out the dagger on his left arm, and threw himself on it.
"Show you something new."
James slowed down the rhythm of the attack. He attacked himself with any shield and sword in a staggered combination. He parried it with bone claws and arm shields, and spoke a strange word to the two of them in a comfortable and soft voice.
"Chaotic Claw Assault".
Hum. The continuous high-frequency hum exploded out of thin air. It was formed by the superimposition of air bursts from countless claw attacks. Bucky and Steve's eyes were dazzled, and the red torrents filled their eyes, like countless sharp claws piercing through the air. come.
Steve set up his shield and squatted down in time to protect himself and Bucky, but it was only a moment of reaction. Poor Sergeant Barnes behind him was riddled with holes, and even two of Steve's lower body The calf was also pierced with more than a dozen blood holes.
The two tried their best to shrink their bodies, listening to the dense sound of gold and iron hitting the shield like rain hitting plantains, and it took five or six seconds for them to stop suddenly.
James put away the bones outside his arms, and with his jade-like upper body naked, he walked over and kicked Bucky who was lying motionless on the ground.
"Don't pretend to be dead, this kind of injury just looks scary."
Compared with Bucky's self-healing ability visible to the naked eye, Steve on the side is more troublesome. Although his physical recovery condition can heal slowly in a few days, it is difficult to stand up at the moment. After all, many ligaments and cartilage in the knee and ankle were injured.
"Teacher, I lost too much blood, I'm dizzy."
Bucky, who had been pierced with hundreds of blood holes, was lying on the lawn of the back mountain. His body was already bright red with a pool of human figures. Although the wound stopped bleeding quickly, it did bleed a lot.
James looked at Steve, who was trying to stand up and supported himself with a shield, thought for a while and said, "I'll give you an injection of 'Styx' later, it should be soon."
Steve didn’t care about his injuries, and he wasn’t in a hurry to improve again through the Styx serum. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and asked James:
"Teacher, did that move rely on a short burst of rapid output?"
"What's new in that, this is Qi Jin evolving into Gang Jin, and Gang Jin turning into a substantial energy-like attack. It's the use of energy, not real claws."
James pondered for a moment, and said with some regret:
"It's still too rough. The use of energy forms and techniques can be discovered are really complex and varied. I'm just slowly groping for it now, but Bucky's move has this meaning."
It was originally just a nickname for a good brother with Steve, but it completely became the name of Sergeant Barnes. No one remembered that Bucky's real name was the same as Mr. Howlett, James.
Bucky got up, the battle uniform on his body was already tattered, like a few strips of cloth hanging on his body, he tore it clean, his spouted muscles were shining with a delicate luster, he helped Steve up, looking He followed Miss Emma and Peggy who came from the direction of the manor.
Peggy, who came closer, stared at Steve, who was trying to force herself to stand upright, and gave her husband a bad look. James coughed softly with some embarrassment, and tried to comfort Peggy.
Mrs. Rogers, who was not really angry, shook her head helplessly. This is not the first time that the three of them have often practiced in this way in recent years, mainly as James' partner trainer. injury.
Using Bucky's words, once the teacher opens his heart, he will be extremely crazy and scary.
"Mr. Howlett, I have basically figured out the changes in the situation in the Soviet Union."
Peggy Rogers told James about the latest intelligence research, and they walked slowly towards the old house.
"You want to go there yourself, because you suspect that there are psychic mutants in it."
James looked at Emma, who was much more mature. Although she was still as beautiful as a girl, her temperament and figure became more mature, with plump curves, and her slender and tight legs seemed to grow a little longer.
"Well, some high-ranking military officers in the Soviet side, as well as the 'Hellfire' research institute, have become more and more weird, and even spread to their party and political work, and their consistent ideology has become inexplicably distorted and extreme. "
"Xiao didn't seem to exist a few years ago, and he was secretly active in private, but during this time he appeared in the Kremlin many times in a grand manner. If he had had this kind of power, he wouldn't have been hiding like a mouse for a few days. ten years."
"I boldly guess that there should be a very powerful mutant with the ability to control the mind around him."
James put on a cloak, sat on the large sofa in the study, took Emma's hand, hugged her into his arms, smiled a little wantonly and said:
"What are you going to investigate? Now that he's showing up, just push him over. Since the end of World War II, this Xiao has been hiding in hiding for many years. I don't have the patience to play with him anymore."
James stroked Emma's delicate and glamorous face, and her white and smooth skin from time to time, and said solemnly:
"As long as he shows his face, I will kill him, even if it will turn upside down in Red Square."
