Chapter 252
Diana had restrained her emotions and looked at the sky silently. The night was long and quiet, but her expression was a sense of relief.
She should have never said these words to others, and she will never say them again.
But being able to express your feelings is always happier than being silent all the time.
The next day, the early Xavier students were amazed to discover that one of their most popular teachers, DianaPrince, and the school's sponsor, Carl.Al, walking side by side on the school lawn.
They talked and laughed as they walked, because the distance was too far and no one could hear the specific topics they were talking about, but anyone with eyes could tell that they were chatting very speculatively.
Carl smiled with a little shyness of a young man, like a boy who doesn't know how to behave in front of his beloved goddess, while Diana has laughed several times.
Anyone who has been with her for a long time knows that this dignified and elegant lady sometimes shows a rather rough and bold side, but this side usually only appears when she is in a good mood and there are not many people around .
To be able to laugh like this on the grass, Mr. Al must have said something so funny.
The students were all curious, what were they talking about?What is Mr. Al trying to do here?
Karl only to Karl.Al has been to Xavier College two or three times in his capacity, but even if he came to visit very few times, he is still honored to be at the top of the list of "Ordinary People Visiting Xavier College".
And because Carl's temperament is gentle and harmless, he is good-looking, and he is very kind to mutants. Even if those mutants with abnormal appearance appeared in front of him, he did not show any abnormalities. The students were very impressed by him. .
And everyone generally respects Carl.Al.
Professor X mentioned that the Ayre Group is a rare multinational company that treats mutant employees and ordinary employees equally. There are many mutant employees in the group. The most important thing is that the identities of these mutants are semi-disclosed. Yes - people who work together know that there are mutants in their team, they just don't know who the exception is.
It is usually after these mutants have adapted to work for a period of several months or years before their superiors give a few veiled hints at the request of their superiors.
This behavior was not without the slightest criticism, but this small experiment was carried out at the headquarters of the Ayre Group in Metropolitan City, and Alexander had the means to teach and direct these employees.
After a short period of panic and small-scale protests, most of the ordinary employees also calmed down, accepting the fact that they and the mutants were working in the same office, and the mutants might even be in their cubicles.
Most students at Xavier College know Carl.Al's promise to Professor X that he and his company will not deliberately help mutants or give them special preferential treatment, but at the same time, they will not deliberately make things difficult for the job applicants because they are mutants. After the other party's identity was exposed, the mutant was dismissed simply and rudely.
This simple promise has considerable strength. As mutants, no one knows better than them how much pressure this decision needs to bear.
Many small companies also have such tolerance, but the scale of the Ayre Group naturally makes its every move heavily interpreted by people, so any detail will be repeatedly studied by the outside world holding a magnifying glass.
But don't hate Carl.Al, it's one thing to respect him, but it's another thing to watch him go on a date with Mr. Prince, who has conquered every student in less than a semester at Xavier Academy!
Quicksilver first walked towards Karl and Diana under the hint of the eyes of the friends, and stood in front of them.
Then, under the gaze of those eyes full of expectation and encouragement behind him, he said enthusiastically: "Good morning, Mr. Prince, long time no see, Karl!"
No, his attitude doesn't look like he's trying to find fault?
The little friends were a little disappointed, but quickly cheered up again, waiting for Kuaiyin to use his super speed to give this Karl.Al suffered a little.
It wouldn't really do anything to him, at most it would just make him fall suddenly on flat ground, his pants slip off suddenly while walking, or other similar trivial things that would make him look ugly.
It was as if something had been overlooked by them, this group of students who had no major shortcomings except being too naughty thought, for some reason, they always had a premonition that their expectations would fail.
But it’s impossible, Pietro obviously likes Mr. Prince very much, and he is always attentive in front of the teacher. Now that the teacher and Mr. Al are talking like this, he must do some pranks, otherwise he won’t be Pietro up.
What is it that they ignore?
It can't be that Mr. Al is also a mutant, right?
Carl had no idea what Kuaiyin and the group of students hiding behind the trees were paying attention to. Seeing Kuaiyin coming to say hello, he raised a bright, sweet and very friendly smile.
"Do you get up so early every day, Pietro? I only mentioned you when I met your sister yesterday. I didn't know you didn't tell Wanda that you wanted to be a doctor." Carl's smile hides a bit of malice , "You should really look at her expression, she was stunned when I talked about it."
Pietro was also stunned.
The carefree smile on his face became smaller and disappeared little by little under the watchful eyes of Carl and Diana, and finally froze between panic and bewilderment.
And at this moment, the group of friends who were hiding in the dark and watching this scene finally remembered what they had forgotten.
Kuaiyin's sisters, Wanda and Scarlet Witch, are definitely going to work in the Al Group, and they are the ones who will follow Carl in the future!
Can Kuaiyin find trouble with his sister's boss?Why don't Wanda get all his brains out?
They glanced at each other secretly, and quickly read the same thoughts as themselves from the eyes of their little friend, and then sneaked out, one by one, they came out of the hiding place, circled carefully, and came from another Orientation around to the grass.
By the time they walked to the original location of Carl and Diana as if nothing had happened, the two had already left with Quicksilver.
The students looked at each other, and after a short period of disappointment, whoever laughed first, every lost face was lit up again, they were laughing and laughing, with some embarrassment of disappointing expectations, and soon got along with the children around them. The partners fought together again.
In front of the window of the principal's office, Carl stared at these young people with different faces and abilities, showing a quiet smile.
"It's not a look for a young man," Charles said mildly.
"You are becoming more and more like an old man, Professor." Carl retorted.
He turned around, walked across to Charles' office, moved a chair to sit opposite Charles, then reached out to pick up the teapot and filled the half-empty cup of black tea.
The trajectory of the brightly colored tea soup was faintly visible on the thin bone china cup, and Karl was fascinated by it for a while. Charles didn't interrupt him, but just cast his eyes on Karl's face.
He still wears glasses, but both his expression and posture are more like the pattern he showed people when he was Superman, or maybe it's not just a fixed pattern, Charles thought, maybe it was Carl.Al was only separated from his body deliberately by Karl.
They have been dealing with each other since Carl was only 15 years old. It is no exaggeration to say that Professor X is the superhuman most familiar and common to Superman.
For so many years, Charles has been observing each other silently, just like an old professor paying attention to a very talented student with love:
This student is so smart and talented that the professor doesn't know where to start if he wants to help him; It is impossible for the old professor to ignore him to prevent him from going astray.
"Maybe I'm being a little old-fashioned, Carl, I've been waiting for you to make mistakes all these years," Professor X said, "I've been waiting for you to make mistakes, but you haven't made any—the only ones that weren't perfect The rescue operation was not because of your subjective problems, and it seems too harsh on you to blame you for these mistakes."
"I don't mind being harsh."
"I've always been the one who cared," Charles said. "I can't afford to be wrong again... You know about Eric. I think everyone knows how our friendship was born and how we turned against each other. ’ He became a little weak as he told this, the kind of visible, old man’s weakness, ‘I can’t afford another mistake, Karl, I must be careful.’
"Am I making a mistake now?" Carl asked with a smile.
For a few minutes, the entire office was silent like the end of the world.
"I don't know." Professor X said slowly, "I don't know."
Carl laughed happily: "What a coincidence, Charles, I don't know either. In fact, most of my life, I didn't think much about what I was doing and why I was doing it. I just...so Done."
He's talking about his act of becoming Superman, and he's talking about his being with Lex.
The sky was so beautiful last night, and what was even more beautiful was what Diana said.
For a moment, she had the same expression as the Lex when Carl first met him.Luther's expressions overlapped.
He's the one who killed Superman, and he's the one who grieves the most about Superman's death.He was a lunatic, a genius and a schemer who blatantly announced his hatred of Superman to the whole world, and finally came to this funeral with a red rose in his arms.
He stood on the podium, addressing the death of a hero whose greatness he did not recognize in the past.
He said, "...no one is better than Superman."
Today, many years later, Carl also failed to understand Lex.Luther's expression at that time.
