“This guy, he doesn’t like me very much, does he?” Listening to the beep on the phone, Lin Rui smiles. Aside from Captain Rogers and Fury, Lin Rui is best acquainted with Agent Coulson in the SHIELD.
“Now, who’s going to contact me next?” After a series of phone calls from Captain Rogers and Coulson, Lin Rui was not ready to rest now, he just kept holding the phone and he was waiting for it to ring.
After all, the rescue of Mirage Knight also involves the X-Men and the sorcerers of Earth. Of course, sorcerers may not be able to find Mirage Knight’s contact information, and they have not yet made their intentions clear. So Lin Rui is now waiting for a call from X-Men, namely Iceman Robert.
Buzz ~
Sure enough, less than two minutes after Coulson’s call ended, Lin Rui’s phone vibrated again. Without any surprise, Lin Rui saw Robert’s name on the display.
“Hey, Robert, thank you so much for helping me out this time!” Lin Rui answered the phone call with a thank you again.
“Hey! Mirage Knight, you’re fine …”
…
A few minutes later, Lin Rui hung up the phone silently. However, Lin Rui frowned slightly at this time, seemingly thinking about something.
“Going to Xavier’s School for the Gifted? But there’s professor Charles there. What if he reads my mind? Will he know the biggest secret in my mind?” Iceman had just asked Lin Rui to come to the Xavier School on the phone, but Lin Rui had some concerns and he refused temporarily.
As a powerful telepath, his ability is feared by countless people. If Professor Charles hadn’t been a moderate and if he hadn’t wanted co-exitance between human and Mutants, he and Magneto might have been able to subvert the rule of the earth. After all, the power of telepathy is too powerful.
“However, Professor Charles does not seem to be the kind of person who will read other people’s mind casually. Moreover, I am now planning to start a full-scale war against Hydra, and it seems necessary to get the help of X-MEN.” Although Lin Rui was a little worried about his secret being found, he also thought that Professor Charles should not read his mind without any cause. In addition, the strength of the X-Men would also a great help to him against Hydra and he must win them over.
“Forget it, I’ll go for that trip. I still believe that Professor Charles would not read my mind and my secrets may not be discovered by mind reading!” Finally, Lin Rui decided to go to the Xavier Academy to get some help in dealing with Hydra as soon as possible. He needs to take this risk.
Then Lin Rui’s phone didn’t ring again. Of course, Lin Rui was really ready to take a break. So, Lin Rui turned off the phone.
…
When Lin Rui began to rest at home, the few people he had contacted just now were not as relaxed as him.
Steve Rogers’ mindset changed after he got some news about Bucky from Mirage Knight. He had always thought Bucky was still in a Hydra base, but now Mirage Knight tells him that Bucky has left Hydra and gone into hiding. His search was about to change, and he had many other things on his mind.
“Although Mirage Knight didn’t say it explicitly, but I think he knows it, and it doesn’t seem to be a good result to find Bucky now. He has been an Assasin for so many years in Hydra and he had killed many people. If he is found now, he will receive a heavy jail time at the best and he may be put to death at worst. So keeping Bucky away from here seems to be the best option right now.” Steve Rogers thought secretly, looking at the various data on his computer about Hydra tracking.
Rogers didn’t want to find Bucky by putting him in jail himself, so he might as well just let him hide-out. For Rogers, Bucky did all the things because he was forced to do them during his years of being controlled by Hydra, and with a little personal thought, Rogers didn’t even think Bucky did them.
So, if Captain Rogers wants to find Bucky now, he’ll have to solve some of the problems he’s had since he found Bucky. At the very least, he’ll find a way to help Bucky mitigate some of his crimes. His hypnotic control by Hydra is a good reason, but it doesn’t completly prove Bucky’s innocence. Of course, with Captain Rogers in his current position, it’s not impossible for him to actually protect Bucky and get him all clear. But he also wants to protect Bucky as other people do, by proving his innocence.
“So let’s see how many incidents Bucky has committed over the years.” Eventually, Steve used his powers to begin reading SHIELD’s top-secret files about assassinations that had not been identified for 60 years.
Rogers would have a much better chance of keeping Bucky alive if he could determine that these events had little to do with him. Of course, this is Captain Rogers without knowing that Bucky killed Tony’s parents. If Captain Rogers had known about this, he would have had a real headache.
Not to mention the follow-up actions of Steve Rogers after talking on the phone with Lin Rui, Iceman Robert also had some troubles after talking on the phone with Lin Rui. Robert explicitly invited Lin Rui to visit the Xavier Academy on the phone. He wants to get into touch with such a mutants-friendly Vigilante. Professor Charles also seems to be very interested in New York’s Vigilante and wants to invite him over to see him.
However, Lin Rui did not agree on the phone. From Lin Rui’s words, Robert could hear Lin Rui’s hesitation, as if he was thinking about something.
“Does Mirage Knight still mind our identity as Mutants? He shouldn’t be like that!’ Robert thought helplessly.
In the simple interaction with Lin Rui, Iceman can clearly feel Lin Rui’s friendly attitude towards Mutants, which is why Iceman helped to find Lin Rui this time and even ask professor Charles to read Francis’s mind. However, Lin Rui’s attitude now leaves him confused.
“Did that Mirage Knight not accept your invitation?” Just as Iceman was confused, a beautiful girl next to him asked softly.
“Well, yes, I don’t know what’s going on, does he have a problem with Mutants?” Holding the girl in his arms, Iceman replied helplessly.
“Robert, don’t think too much about this, maybe this Mirage Knight just wants to take a break. After all, he had just survived a danger om his life.” The girl in Robert’s arms reached over and touched Iceman’s face and said softly.
“Ah! I hope so, Kitty.” After hearing his girlfriend’s persuasion, Iceman could only think so. It turns out that the girl who has a close relationship with Iceman is his girlfriend, Shadowcat, Kitty.
“Well, let’s go, Professor Charles has something to tell us. Recently, the Mutants Brotherhood seems to be making big moves again.” Kissing Robert, Kitty said as she pulled him out.
“Yes, I know.”
