Chapter 3683: The Mercury Era (Part 14)

"Oh, hey, good morning." Coulson waved at them, stood up, and went to make coffee.

Steve was obviously still feeling a bit embarrassed, but he wasn't the kind of person who would avoid it, so he could only stand up, pat Bucky on the arm, and say: "Sorry, yesterday was a misunderstanding. We really shouldn't have rushed in so recklessly."

"It's okay." Bucky smiled, his face writing "I forgive this world". Even Seeing Natasha, who was usually famous for her ferocity, didn't say much, just rolled her eyes at Steve and walked to the other side of the sofa.

"Uh..." Steve looked at his back and made a syllable, then said, "I'm very sorry. Lady, I might have misunderstood you. I swear I won't do this again."

"It's okay." Seeing Natasha threw herself into the single sofa, stretched her waist hard, and then curled up inside, saying, "Our dear Mr. Barnes has apologized for you, very sincerely, and I can only forgive you."

Steve breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he felt something was wrong. But this topic had already flown past quickly, and Bucky and Coulson were chatting. Seeing Natasha was typing quickly on her phone, obviously in a group chat. Steve couldn't find an opportunity to interject, simply feeling like a fishbone in his throat. He simply hated his curiosity to death.

Then Stark crashed in, and the scene was a bit awkward for a while. The nano-armor retracted, Stark turned around in place, pinching his fingers and saying: "A small error in the control system."

With a "bang", Peter, holding Pikachu, also fell in, followed by the furious Pepper.

"You two damn terrorists! I told you absolutely not to practice cooking in the kitchen at home! You blew up two-thirds of the cabinets and broke the refrigerator! Renovating the kitchen will take half a month!!"

Stark touched his nose and said: "I just think the direction of the heating wire of the electric grill is a bit unreasonable, you know, no mechanical engineer can endure this."

"I swear I absolutely didn't spill flour on purpose!" Peter stretched out his hands and said solemnly, "I just didn't see the fork that fell on the ground, and accidentally stepped on it. And no one could have predicted that the electric grill would produce electric sparks at that moment..."

Steve on the side couldn't help but cover his forehead, leaned on the back of the sofa, and said to Coulson: "You're right, Coulson. I shouldn't have any expectations for my birthday party."

Then Nick also rushed in and said to Peter: "Great, Peter. You finally figured it out! Our third-generation Spider-Man is finally going to return!"

"Uh..." Peter scratched his head a bit awkwardly, and he said, "I want to take back the power of the spider totem not to continue being Spider-Man, mainly because the kitchen is indeed a bit too dangerous, I need spider-sense to help me survive."

"Of course, but my nano-armor armament speed is so fast! Didn't this successfully save you from the explosion?"

"Of course, but I hope I don't step on that fork."

Stark sighed long, and then said a bit angrily: "If it weren't for Schiller asking me to make burger buns myself, I wouldn't have had to use the electric grill... speaking of the electric grill, that kind of spiral heating wire is just unreasonable. I've already thought of a better plan, I'll make a sample this afternoon, and then hand it over to the factory for mass production, just call it Stark electric grill. It will definitely be popular all over the world, and everyone who makes cheeseburgers in the future will remember me!"

Steve walked to the sofa and sat down again and said to Coulson: "Your remarks about modified humans have some truth, but obviously, it's not just those who have accepted genetic modification who are crazy."

Speaking of Schiller, Schiller arrived. He was almost the last one to come. After walking in, he sat next to Steve, put his arm around Steve's shoulder, and said: "Dear Captain, are you sure you want to kick the one person among all your friends who can cook best out of your birthday party group? Who else can you count on? Tony's pre-made food?"

"At least pre-made food won't make me so embarrassed in front of my friends." Steve said unyieldingly, "Doctor, this joke has gone too far."

"Is it? Compared to before?"

Steve was speechless. Yes, Schiller fanned the flames on both sides, causing them to almost provoke the Winter Soldier and Black Widow at the same time, but if you compare it with the big movements he made before, then this is indeed just a harmless little joke, even showing a bit of harmonious cuteness.

Steve sighed and said: "Alright, but you have to compensate me. What dish are you planning to bring?"

"Can't tell you now, otherwise it won't be..."

"He prepared goose and duck." Pikachu jumped onto the back of the sofa chair and said, "Seems to be roasted, and then dipped in some kind of jam. It seems."

Schiller grabbed its tail and lifted Pikachu up. Pikachu screamed in mid-air and shouted to others: "You guys don't know how fragrant the first floor of the nursing home was when he got up early this morning! I guarantee you guys will want to gnaw on a cow when you smell that kind of smell! But he insisted on saying that what he made was a failure, and didn't even let me taste it!!!"

"Because that was indeed a failure." Schiller threw it to Nick on the side before Pikachu could emit electric light, and then said, "The oven is in urgent need of improvement, it can't roast crispy skin at all, and the meat inside is not juicy enough. The recipe for plum sauce also needs to be adjusted; only some white people who have lost their taste buds would think this thing is delicious."

"Then, Doctor, I'll go find you for this month's psychological assessment later." Steve glanced at Bucky and Seeing Natasha, obviously wanting to satisfy his curiosity.

"Of course, very welcome." Schiller nodded with a smile, and then turned to look at Bucky and Seeing Natasha and said, "Then you two have to be late today, psychological assessment is more important after all, I have to be worthy of S. H. I. E. L. D.'s salary."

"Wait, they two are going too?" Steve said, "Then I'd better not go."

"It's okay, Captain. They two are just doing emotional counseling, the relationship between them two shouldn't have anything to do with you, right? Or do you want to have something to do with it?"

Steve shook his head desperately, sat a little further away, and said to Schiller: "I have no interest in the relationship between any of you. Now Carter should be awake, I have to go back and see the child."

When he fled from the room, he heard laughter erupting behind him. But Steve didn't regret the decision he made at all, he just wanted to stay with his normal dear wife and child. If he stayed with this group of lunatics any longer, he was afraid his genes would have some problems.

But obviously, life didn't let him go so easily. He had just arrived home, picked up the fragrant and soft child and shook him, when he received a phone call. Ten minutes later, Eric and Charles appeared outside his house.

These two are even heavier weights, thinking of the grievances and entanglements between them, Steve even felt that Bucky and Seeing Natasha were nothing. He might as well stay at the Avengers base.

However, they really had serious business this time, and Steve couldn't refuse. He poured a glass of water for each of them, and then said: "Sorry, Carter is a bit sensitive to caffeine when she's pregnant, so I didn't prepare coffee at home. Shall I add some ice cubes for you?"

"No trouble." Charles smiled gently at Steve and said, "We came this time to see little Mr. Rogers, he's almost a year old, right? Thinking he can do mutant ability testing."

Steve became nervous immediately, while Charles used his ability to soothe his brainwaves and said: "Don't be nervous, Captain. Currently, little Tommy doesn't have any physical defects, and his intelligence and language ability are normal. Even if his mutant ability is very weak, it won't affect his normal life. If he doesn't use it actively, no one can tell he is a mutant..."

"I'm not saying I don't want him to be a mutant." Steve said, "But you guys also said, mutants might have an ability outbreak, and his mother is just an ordinary person. I'm really a bit worried..."

"This is indeed a problem." Charles said warmly, "In the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, quite a few little mutants have similar family problems, and some are even too tragic, I have to seal their memories. So we came so early, if we can determine what type of mutant he is, we can take precautions early."

"But his appearance and behavior really have no abnormalities. If it weren't for the fact that there really is an X-gene in the test report, I would have thought he was an ordinary person."

"This is actually good news." Eric said, "This proves that his ability might be detached from the flesh, like me and Charles."

"But this kind of ability is exceptionally powerful." Steve said worriedly, "If it's really like you two, I simply dare not imagine how big a mess he will make when his ability breaks out."

"On the contrary, Captain." Charles said, "According to our observations, the more powerful the ability, the closer to the source power of this world, the better the control over one's own power. Otherwise, with so many Alpha-level mutants, if everyone explodes, the Earth would have ceased to exist long ago."

Steve nodded, he naturally had thought about this problem. Like Charles and Eric, these mutants, if they released all their power when their ability broke out, humanity would have been extinct long ago. So it's probably not like this.

Steve is also a person from that era, he is very sure that he didn't hear any terrorist attacks with similar characteristics during the childhood of Eric and Charles. This proves that the scale of their ability outbreak was not large, and might not even have made the local news.

And Wanda, who is closer in age, is also like this. The power of the Scarlet Witch can be said to be one of the best. If it really broke out, let alone the Earth, the galaxy wouldn't exist. But now it's still fine. Her two children are also mutants, Wanda doesn't seem to worry either, which gave Steve a lot of psychological comfort.

"Alright, let's go see little Tommy first." Charles stood up and said. Before entering the baby room, his footsteps paused and then said: "Actually, Franklin asked us to come over today."

"Franklin? Who is that?" Steve couldn't remember who this name belonged to for a while.

"Probably the most powerful mutant in history." Charles looked at Steve and said, "Traveling through time, reversing the future, he has all the superpowers you can imagine. He is the child of Dr. Reed and Dr. Susan."

Steve was a bit enlightened, he said: "What did he tell you?"

"Thomas Rogers is a very powerful mutant, and, his ability will break out at his father's 100th birthday party." ===== CHAPTER 3684 =====
