Doing something for the mutants.
This idea, this thought, had been in their minds for a long time.
When they saw mutants in circuses being used as animal shows, when mutants were driven away, when mutants were used as criminals, used by some ambitious people, or even used as experiments, this idea was planted deep in their minds.
Especially today, when they saw those mutant children on the news being used by the Black Queen to commit crimes that they should not have been exposed to at this age, the thoughts they had been suppressing for years could no longer be suppressed and took over their minds in an instant.
If you have the power, you have to do something.
After a moment of silence, Mike gave them both a smile and said, "In that case, go for it."
At these words, there was a look of excitement and gratitude in their eyes.
Perhaps ... they were born to be heroes, to be mutants, to be heroes to humanity, and even to this planet.
Mike couldn't help but say, "What do you think? What do you want to do? How do you want to start?"
Charles said, "I've thought about it, and I think that mutants, as a group, are perceived by the majority of people as being rather poor."
Not worse, but very bad.
Criminals, Monsters ...
Many times this is the first thought that comes to mind when people think of mutants.
And the mutant community is not a good one either. Many of them, when they awaken to their powers, the first thing they think about is using them to do bad things, to get back at the people who hurt them before, and they become the new criminals, the new monsters in people's eyes.
It's a vicious cycle.
Then there are the children who have just awakened to their powers.
When they awaken, some of them are unable to control their powers and unconsciously hurt others.
This is one of the reasons why they are treated like monsters.
Thinking about this, Mike looked at Charles with a blank stare.
Poor comparison... that's quite a polite way of putting it.
At the look in Mike's eyes, Charles looked pensive, but Eric couldn't help but smile and said, "Well, it's bad."
Mike nodded his head.
With a helpless look on his face, Charles continued, "This impression has to be reversed so that when people see mutants, their minds will not only think of the bad things, but also the good things, in order to initially improve the environment for mutants as a group."
"So, what are you going to do?"
Mike stared at Charles with some expectation in his heart.
Eric said, "Dad, do you remember when you stopped the Black King and you guys formed a squad?"
Mike raised an eyebrow and nodded.
Charles grinned and said, "That was my idea, that we would form a squad to solve such incidents so that everyone would understand that although there are mutants who use their powers to commit crimes, they can also use them to be a hero!"
"Good idea."
With Mike's approval, the two men grew more and more excited and continued with their ideas.
It wasn't just about changing the perception of mutants, it was also about disciplining the mutant body and changing their self-positioning.
In order to be seen, one must want to be seen.
If a mutant uses his or her powers to do bad things and commit crimes once they have been awakened, no amount of effort on Charles' part will change the world's perception of mutants.
Therefore, it is necessary to change at the source, to establish the right values for the mutants when they awaken to their powers, so that they can control their own powers.
The awakening of mutants often begins in adolescence, so the two of them decided to set up a school.
A school for mutant children.
In this school, these children will not only learn knowledge, but they will also learn to control their abilities and even become heroes after training.
At this point, Charles said excitedly, "Eric and I think it's a wonderful idea."
Eric nodded, but had some doubts and concerns in his mind.
Mike noticed and said to Eric, "Do you have anything to add, or anything different to say?"
Charles also looked at Eric.
Eric said, "There are two other problems that we must solve."
His eyes were fixed as he said, "The first is the establishment of the school, which is not easy."
Although there was no law against building schools for mutants, it was not necessary to think about the difficulties and obstacles that would be faced if such a school was to be set up, and they would have to be supported.
Charles nodded with a sigh, this was indeed something to consider.
"The second point, and the more difficult one." Eric's eyes sank as he said, "The school needs a reason to be around for a long time."
A school that produced a large number of mutants would be a formidable force.
Those greedy eyes, wary and fearful of mutants, would eventually destroy the school.
"If, in fact, one of the purposes of the school was to raise heroes ...," Charles muttered.
Without hesitation, Eric added, "We need a long-standing enemy in order to realize the value of heroes, to realize the point of the school's existence, to make those who are wary, even malicious, press their malice against this school for the time being."
"Right!"
Mike nodded his head.
"I'll go."
Eric suddenly spoke up.
"What?" Charles was stunned, and then his face changed and he said, "What are you talking about?"
Eric smiled and said, "I said, I'll be the enemy of the school."
He would be the enemy, and the two sides would be measured enough to be 'antagonistic' for a long time, but united at key moments.
It was a very good idea, and the most appropriate one at the moment.
At these words, Mack sighed.
The good guys, they were still on the same path, but the difference was that they no longer had different ideas and were going their separate ways.
"I'll do it!" Charles said without hesitation, "I can do it too!"
"Don't be silly." Eric laughed, "Your abilities don't allow you to do it, and besides, you're too good-natured for it."
If Charles were an enemy, almost as soon as his powers were revealed, he would become the enemy of the whole world, and everyone would turn against him.
But if he was one of our own, the situation would be reversed and he would become a major killer on the side of humanity, a card that must be protected.
