Charles’ Nightmare

~8 min read 1,440 words

New York, the former site of the Mutant Academy.

"So, professor, Logan, Luo Xiu. Are you already on the wanted list? "

In the living room of the castle, several people were sitting on the sofa. The Black Queen took out his iPhone 20 Plus and logged into the mysterious website, which seemed to contain wanted persons from all over the world.

"Wolverine Logan, a reward of five thousand dollars! "

"Professor x, there is a reward of 10 million US dollars. "

"The mysterious man Luo Xiu has a reward of five million US dollars! "

"Former mutant black market leader, offering a reward of one thousand dollars. "

"Shit, what a shit list, why do I only have five thousand dollars. The person who published this list must be a fool! "Logan cursed, not satisfied with the amount of the wanted reward.

"This is certified by military authority, Logan. "The Black Queen smiled proudly.

"Don't be angry, Logan. "Charles laughed.

"As expected of Professor X, the reward amount is actually 10 million. "Ganglishi's eyes were filled with admiration.

After the mutants were almost extinct, he and the Black Queen were considered wild mutants.

Since they were young, they have admired the X-Men very much and read many comics about the X-Men.

"The amount of the reward is set according to the degree of danger. Based on the professor's ability, it will definitely be more than 10 million, or even less than 100 million. Luo Xiu said.

"Yes. Caliban nodded with deep understanding.

That is to say, the professor's inner moral standards are extremely high. If the professor turns black, it is not an exaggeration to say that the end of the world is coming.

"The degree of danger. "

A strange light flashed in the professor's eyes, and then he suddenly had a headache and a look of pain on his face.

Deep in my mind, something seemed to come out.

"Professor, what's wrong with you? Caliban said quickly.

"Charles! "A look of worry appeared on Logan's face.

"Does it need treatment? professor? "Logan asked, he keenly noticed that something was wrong with Charles' state.

"No, no, it's okay. "

Charles was still frightened and forced himself to calm down, but his fearful eyes still betrayed him.

"I want to take a rest first, Logan, please show me the room I used to have. " said Charles.

"Hmm. "Logan nodded.

In a strange atmosphere, Logan pushed Charles' wheelchair into the former bedroom.

Because the Dark Queen and Colossus lived here, although the former room was abandoned, it was spotless and cleaned, and at best it was deserted.

Back in the familiar room, Logan put Charles on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and turned to leave.

"Don't go, Logan. I...remembered something. "Charles suddenly said excitedly.

Over the years, due to the influence of Alzheimer's disease, he was sometimes awake and sometimes confused, had a split personality, and lost a lot of memory.

In the more than half a year since Luo Xiu appeared, Charles' condition gradually improved. He rarely suffered from dementia and spent more and more time awake.

After receiving treatment from the Holy Light, Charles' symptoms subsided and gradually returned to normal, and he no longer needed the medication to treat Alzheimer's disease.

Therefore, memories about the past slowly come back to life.

"Better not to think about it, that's all, Charles. "Logan looked back, his eyes sad and deeply helpless.

"I can't fool myself, Logan. I feel so guilty and sorry. " said Charles.

"I'm sorry for everyone, we are all at fault," Logan said and left.

The whole bedroom was filled with a lost and extremely painful Charles.

Returning to the old place and having his brain healed, Charles just suddenly remembered what happened that year.

In the past, his brain power went out of control, killing hundreds of mutants and ordinary people in an instant, including the former X-Men. This was also the reason why mutants suddenly disappeared and became extinct.

Because of the huge guilt, Alzheimer's disease, and the suppression of genetic drugs, Charles' brain triggered a protective mechanism and automatically blocked this memory.

So, in the following years, every time Charles woke up, he didn't know what happened in the past. He always stayed in the memory of the well-respected and well-dressed Professor X.

Instead of running away with Logan, living in a dilapidated abandoned factory, eating junk food full of chemical compounds and countless pills to treat the brain.

"Eric, are you really dead? "Charles thought of his old friend Magneto.

After experiencing the events of Days of Future Past, they joined forces in the new era to build a utopian mutant community home and manage mutants together.

But that loss of control ruined everything!

……

Living room.

"Little Flathead, what are you looking at? "

Logan, after Charles left, Caliban went to prepare dinner again.

There were only four people left in the living room: Luo Xiu, Black Queen, Colossus, and Laura.The black queen kept staring at the tablet again, with a strange expression, gasping for air from time to time, and her expression changed.

Seeing this, Luo Xiu broke the dullness first and was more curious about what the Black Queen was looking at.

Hearing the nickname "Little Flathead", Queen Hei raised his head and gave Luo Xiu an emotionless eye roll, spread out the tablet and said, "I didn't expect that you look so gentle, easy-going and polite, but your attacks are really cruel."

Luo Xiu's eyes fell on the tablet. The video picture above was the battle with the mercenaries a few days ago. The whole scene was extremely bloody, with mutilated limbs and pieces of meat everywhere.

"Where did you get this video?" Luo Xiu asked.

"Of course I hacked the military database and downloaded it." The hacker said casually, as if she had done something completely normal.

"Let me see what it is?"

After Colossus bandaged his arm, he cast a curious look.

Just as the above picture was playing, Luo Xiu smashed a mercenary with one punch, and blood sprayed everywhere.

"Ugh~"

When the young and caring Colossus saw this, his young heart seemed to have been hit hard, his stomach churned, and he vomited some iron juice.

The little wolf girl didn't expect that such a big man like Colossus could be so fragile, so she also gave him a look.

"If we had a duel just now, you wouldn't beat me into a mosaic, would you?" Black Queen asked.

"No, at most it's one part green and one part purple." Luo Xiu replied.

It is a pity that the golden card light group mark does not appear on the head of the Black Queen. Otherwise, I really want to beat this little thing and turn it into a card.

​Similarly, neither does Colossus.

"What a presumptuous guy." Queen Hei moved back, feeling that Luo Xiu was too dangerous, almost like a smiling devil.

Luo Xiu didn't say anything more, but went to Logan to ask some questions. He sensed that there was some secret hidden between Logan and Charles, especially after arriving at the former site of the Mutant Academy, this feeling became stronger.

Castle wine cellar.

Although no one has been here for many years, the wine stored inside has always been there and no one has moved it.

At Caliban's prompt, Luo Xiu came here and found Logan who was already drunk.

"Here we come, Luo Xiu."

As if he knew he was coming, Logan sat on the metal chair, crying and laughing, holding Lafite who was born in 1982 in his arms.

"Logan, you are hundreds of years old, and you are still crying at this age. I remembered the sad things, and just returned to my former home, and my mood collapsed again. But even so, I will not comfort you." Luo Xiu pulled a metal chair and sat down.

This time, Logan did not refute. Instead, he looked directly at Luo Xiu and said with a serious expression:

"Luo Xiu, haven't you always wanted to know what happened in the past?

Maybe it’s time to tell you the truth of that year. "

……

ps: A bug was recently discovered. In the movie version, the reason for the extinction of mutants is not only the problem of genetic food, but also the fact that the professor went on a rampage and killed many mutants in the past, including the X-Men.

Because of the comics, Di Dan thought it was Logan who killed his teammates, so the story about what happened in the past may change.
