Chapter 978: The Father and Daughter, Mother and Daughter Finally Reunited (First update!)
"Quick, this way!"
"This way is the exit, hurry and follow."
"Speed!"
Accompanied by noisy footsteps and shouts tinged with urgency, soon, a group of people appeared in Hawk and Wanda's sight at the corner at the end of the corridor.
Leading the way was a young man wearing a pair of special red quartz glasses, looking somewhat rebellious.
Cyclops, Scott!
There was also a man whose skin was blue all over, covered in short fur, with a flexible tail, and a face that looked more like a demon than a human.
Nightcrawler, Kurt.
And—
Mystique Raven, who looked exactly like the 'Big Cousin'!
But Hawk and Wanda's gazes fell, without prior agreement, on the young woman standing beside Mystique Raven, who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old and had long, fiery red hair.
The red hair, like Wanda's, hung down like flames.
Her face, like Hawk's, had distinct lines.
Her lips were like Wanda's, rosy and thin.
Her eyes were as calm and deep as Hawk's, and as mysterious and profound as Wanda's.
It was exactly the daughter of Hawk and Wanda.
Jean!
Six eyes met.
No, to be precise, countless eyes met.
Because this group of young X-Men, after turning the corner and seeing Hawk and Wanda in their scarlet tight-fitting battle suits, also stopped in their tracks one after another.
This group of young X-Men looked with suspicion and uncertainty at the two people who had appeared in this place at this very moment.
But Hawk and Wanda only had one person in their eyes right now.
Similarly.
The moment Jean's gaze captured Hawk and Wanda, it was as if the entire world had shrunk into a world containing only Hawk and Wanda.
The next second.
A look of unbelievable surprise and the joy of 'I knew it' appeared on Jean's face. After a subconscious pause, she lifted her feet again, preparing to walk toward Hawk and Wanda.
Cyclops Scott, wearing sunglasses on the side, watched this scene and subconsciously wanted to grab Jean's arm.
Unfortunately, he didn't catch it.
Hawk's gaze keenly captured this scene, and he subconsciously frowned, but then immediately relaxed.
Because—
"Daddy!"
"Mommy!"
Jean's voice trembled slightly. From a quick walk at first, to confirming that all of this was not a hallucination, she couldn't help but call out, and then ran toward the location where Hawk and Wanda were.
"Daddy?"
"Mommy?"
"……"
The young X-Men listening to Jean's address felt their brains go a bit numb, and then couldn't help but look at each other.
"Isn't Jean an orphan?"
"Yeah."
"Wasn't Jean adopted by Professor X?"
Listening to the young X-Men's discussion, Mystique Raven, who looked like the Big Cousin, couldn't help but frown, but soon, a conversation from a long time ago surfaced in her mind. Seeming to remember something, she looked at Jean, who had already reunited and embraced her father and mother, her gaze thoughtful.
Jean hugged Wanda tightly, then with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes, looked at Hawk on the side.
"Daddy, I've waited for you for so long."
"……Sorry."
Hawk looked at his daughter Jean, who was clearly only six years old in their home universe and hadn't been gone for long—at most a month or so—but had grown into a young woman in the blink of an eye.
As everyone knows.
The flow of time between multiverses is different.
Clearly.
The flow of time in this universe was significantly higher than in his and Wanda's home universe, and it was also very clear that he and Wanda had missed their daughter Jean's growth.
Sure enough.
The universe here is really low-end.
Hawk looked at his daughter, who had now grown into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, possessing the advantages of both himself and Wanda, his thoughts spinning wildly as he complained about this low-end universe.
Jean heard Hawk's apology, and the smile on her face grew even wider.
"But I always believed that you would definitely come to find me, Daddy."
"And Mommy."
Jean said, turning her head, looking at Wanda with a smiling face, and added a sentence in time.
The smile on Wanda's face froze.
Alright.
No mistake, this is indeed her daughter.
Even though she had raised her since she was little, in Jean's heart, Daddy was always first.
Just like just now.
Jean also hugged Hawk first, and then hugged her.
Wanda thought to herself, then facing Jean's smiling, pretty face, she subconsciously rolled her eyes.
"If you like your father so much, go hug your father."
"No!"
Jean hugged Wanda tightly and said with a giggle: "By the way, Mommy, how did you know I was here?"
Wanda laughed: "How did we find you? Your daddy turned the outside world upside down; isn't it simple to find you?"
Upside down in the physical sense.
Quantico destroyed.
Dozens of generals at the Pentagon wiped out.
The White House even had half of it collapsed into ruins. There was no need to wait for tomorrow's dawn; it was feared that Washington at this very moment was already in a complete mess.
Jean heard Wanda's words and blinked.
Just as she was about to speak, even more urgent footsteps came from the end of the corridor.
"Shit, hurry!"
"Don't let them run."
"Honey shit!"
"Damn it, they've caught up, hurry and go!"
Cyclops Scott and Mystique Raven heard the angry roars from behind, reacted, shouted, and also lifted their feet, taking the rescued X-Men and running toward the direction where Hawk and Gwen were.
Jean also reacted.
"Oh no, Sentinels, Daddy, Mommy, hurry and go."
"The weapons in their hands can restrain……"
"Boom!"
Before the words were finished.
Jean only felt a blur before her eyes, then looked at Hawk, who had abruptly disappeared before her eyes. Immediately after, she turned her head and looked at Hawk, who had already appeared behind the X-Men. She raised her willow-leaf eyebrows, and the nervous and uneasy expression that had just surfaced on her face instantly disappeared like melting snow.
Oh right.
Daddy is here, why am I running?
Daddy is the most powerful in the whole universe; otherwise, that bad guy who was bigger than a planet wouldn't have tried to kidnap her to threaten Daddy.
So—
"Whew!"
After Jean reacted, she completely settled her heart and said to Cyclops and Mystique Raven who were running over: "Don't run anymore, it's fine."
The young X-Men heard this and also saw Jean, whose face no longer had the look of anxiety and unease.
