"What have you tried?"
"Well...just like he did in the classroom the other day, I tried to create a sun..."
"Did you succeed?"
Polaris shook her head, saying, "No, I have no idea how to ignite such a flame, and whenever I tried, I quickly ran out of energy. I don't have nearly enough to support such a feat."
"Actually, I think there's no need for you to grope in the dark like this. Why don't you ask your father for some tips?"
Polaris turned her head, apparently not wishing to speak. Charles said, "I know, you still resent him for abandoning you and your mother. Both Wanda and Quicksilver feel the same way. Even though I'm friends with Erik, I have to admit, he's not a good husband nor a good father..."
"But recently, a friend of mine gave me a new perspective. If you think of him as mentally ill, you might find him not so bad. My friend is a psychology professor and he thinks Erik might have Asperger's syndrome."
"What's that?"
"In simple terms, it's an inability to empathize with others' emotions, difficulties with social interaction, repetitive behavior, and limited interests..."
Polaris put her hand on her forehead, saying, "That does sound like him."
"Now that you think about it, don't you feel he's kind of decent to you?"
Polaris pursed her lips for a moment before speaking: "What do you think I should...I mean..."
She sighed, saying, "Alright, I admit, what he did that day shocked me. I never thought magnetism was such a powerful ability."
"It seems to me that he was quite nice not to kill the redhead and his brother," Polaris sharply added.
"Don't be like that, Lorna. They are your brother and sister."
"Alright, I'll talk to him. But I think he'll probably not listen to anything I say, just like before."
After Polaris left, Charles shook his head, then made another call. Soon, Quicksilver appeared in his office, saying, "Professor, you wanted to see me?"
"Yes, I wanted to ask, where is your sister? You said before that she was not on Earth?"
"Ah, yes. She wasn't in a good state of mind. She was having nightmares and then one day, she just rushed off, as if someone called her."
Seeing Charles's worried expression, Quicksilver reassured him, "Don't worry, Professor, Wanda is really strong. If there's any danger, she'll definitely be able to escape."
"Alright, you can leave now."
The next day, Polaris came to the desk holding a Christmas snow globe. She set down her backpack, then carefully placed the snow globe on the desk. When Quicksilver saw the snow globe, he asked puzzled, "What's this? Who gave you this? It's not even Christmas yet."
"Just mind your own business." Polaris sat down, picked up the snow globe.
The snow globe was unusual because it didn't have the typical Christmas house surrounded by snowflakes or reindeer sculpture, but instead, a strange little black spot.
Quicksilver craned his neck trying to see what the black spot was. Iceman also looked over, curious. Polaris held up the snow globe, muttering to herself, "In theory, it should be like this..."
The instant she flexed her energy, Quicksilver rushed into the classroom at a speed he usually trots at. Usually, he would have disappeared instantly, but not this time. With a "bang", he fell to the ground, then let out a cry of pain.
The three people in the first row all looked down at him. Polaris, looking at the snow globe in her hand, smiled: "I didn't expect a black hole to be useful like this."
"That's a black hole?" Quicksilver asked incredulously. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and asked, "Did your father give you that?"
Polaris didn't answer, only activating her magnetic power again. Quicksilver, who had just managed to get up and wanted to run off, was like a dog being held back by its tail, stuck in place while his legs flailed about.
Polaris burst into happy laughter while Quicksilver could not find any amusement in the situation.
After that, Polaris would mess around with Quicksilver every day, using the mini black hole tool Magneto gave her for research.
She could use her magnetic power to slightly stimulate the gravitational force of the black hole, which could then hold Quicksilver still during his run. Polaris and her brother had never been on good terms, and over these days, they had several skirmishes. However, Polaris always had the upper hand because other than his speed, Quicksilver did not have any strong attacks.
One day, just like always, Polaris held the snow globe, pinning Quicksilver to the ground. But just as she was about to turn on the snow globe again, a female voice said, "Stop."
The magnetic field in the snow globe that was about to be stimulated was suddenly suppressed. Polaris quickly adjusted the chaotic magnetic field around her to prevent it from exploding.
A red-haired woman stepped out from a crack, her body surrounded by a foggy magical power. Polaris glanced at her and said, "Wanda?"
Quicksilver got up from the ground, spat out some grass from his mouth, and Wanda just glanced at Polaris without expressing any intention to pick a fight with her sister, because she knew if Polaris really wanted to hurt Quicksilver, he would be more than just pinned to the ground.
Wanda patted Quicksilver's shoulder and said, "Take me to the Holy Sanctuary."
"The Holy Sanctuary? Where is that?"
"How would I know, but I'm sure it's somewhere on Earth."
"Wanda, you're back?" Charles appeared on the field with his wheelchair. Wanda nodded and said, "Good morning, professor. Do you know where the Holy Sanctuary is?"
"Holy Sanctuary? I heard Strange mention it once. It seems to be on Wall Street. What are you going there for?"
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry. I'll explain when I get back. Quicksilver, let's go."
Quicksilver picked up Wanda and in an instant, they were both gone.
In the Holy Sanctuary, Strange was reading a form when suddenly, a shadow whizzed by him.
Strange turned around in place but didn't see anything, then turned back to see a man and a woman standing behind him.
He was about to say something when Wanda lifted her hand to stop him and asked, "Hello, are you the Supreme Magician Strange?"
"I am Strange, but I am not the Supreme Magician."
"Alright, that's correct. Listen, there's a Demon God named Xeseon who asked me to come to the Holy Sanctuary and ask you a question..."
"What question?"
"Recently, there's been a drastic loss in the chaotic power of the cosmic source. Do you guys have any leads?"
