Chicken Talisman
Lewis was excited, itching to try it out!
"I feel like this height is no problem for me to jump down from!"
"I advise you not to," Natasha warned.
"Huh? Why?"
"Because... there's the sea below."
Darcy's face froze.
She...
couldn't swim!
---
Vex flew through the sky.
With his powerful eyesight, he easily spotted the speedboats below, which were closing in on their target in the vast ocean.
At the front, a green-haired Lorna stood at the back of one of the boats, using her magnetic field control to retrieve necklaces, cans, and other metal debris from the seabed, throwing them toward their pursuers.
The open sea limited her abilities.
What surprised Vex was...
The Asian girl driving the boat had strikingly recognizable green eyes.
It seemed to be...
"Clarice Ferguson? Blink?" Vex mused, amused. "Two birds with one stone, not bad."
Vex's eyes gleamed with lightning, and a bolt of laser-like electricity shot out, cutting a half-circle across the front of the pursuing boats.
The warning was clear.
All the pursuers immediately slammed on the brakes, looking up at the figure hovering in the sky.
Vex crossed his arms, calmly gazing down at them.
If anyone ignored his warning, he wouldn't hesitate to send them flying.
This left the leader, Turner, looking frustrated. He could only watch as Lorna and Blink sped away on their boat.
"Bang!"
He punched down in anger!
They had clearly driven Polaris out to sea, away from the city full of metal, and capturing her should've been much easier.
So why did this random guy have to show up!
"Go find out!" Turner ordered. "Who exactly is this new mutant?"
His subordinate immediately snapped a picture of Vex's face and started searching the internal network.
A prompt popped up:
"Your access is insufficient. Investigation personnel are on the way. Please prepare your review reasons!"
---
Vex knew nothing about this and didn't care.
Using the Rabbit Talisman, he caught up with Lorna and Blink, landing on their boat.
Even though he had helped them, Lorna still looked cautious.
"Where are you from? Vought Group? Gotham City? Xavier's School? Or the Brotherhood?"
Vex's mind froze for a moment.
Those names...
The Boys' Vought Group?
Batman's Gotham City?
X-Men's Xavier's School and the Brotherhood?
What the shit?
This world was... a bit complicated!
In the past few days, he'd been too busy chasing after girls to fully understand this world.
He thought it was just the Marvel Universe
Blinking, he decided to ignore those thoughts for now and focus on the present.
He smiled, "I don't know any of those places. I'm from..."
"Where are you from?" Lorna's gaze grew more intense.
"Me? I'm from the M78 Nebula."
"..."
Lorna looked at Blink. Do you know what that is?
Blink shook her head silently, curiously watching Vex.
Those eyes...
They seemed familiar!
Like...
The way Lewis used to look at him!
Blink's curious gaze took Vex by surprise.
The goal was to save the damsel,
but instead of winning over Lorna, he gained unexpected interest from Blink.
He smiled and nodded.
To his surprise, Blink boldly took a few steps closer, reaching out her hand to Vex.
"Clarice Ferguson, mutant ability: Portal."
Lorna frowned!
She had been trapped out here because she came to rescue Blink.
Blink's attitude made her feel a bit betrayed.
They shook hands lightly.
"Vex, no mutant abilities. I'm from the M78 Nebula."
"M78 Nebula? Is that in America?" Blink asked curiously.
"In fact, the M78 Nebula isn't even in the solar system," Vex smiled. "I'm an alien, officially certified for Earth's safety. I can develop my species here."
At this...
Both Blink and the somewhat annoyed Lorna were stunned.
An...
Alien?
"Are you sure you're not joking?" Blink confirmed again.
"Of course," Vex replied seriously. "Lying to beautiful women, even as a joke, is very ungentlemanly."
Blink's first reaction was...
"Is there no reproductive barrier between aliens and humans?"
Vex: "..."
Uh...
He hadn't really thought about that.
"Of course not," Vex said calmly. "There are many strong women on this planet who attract me, so there won't be... what you mentioned."
That answer made Blink extremely excited!
Strong, handsome, an alien.
Who could resist that?
She was about to learn more when...
"Whether or not what you're saying is true," Lorna interrupted, "you saved us, and we're grateful. But I have to head back now. If you're done here, you should leave."
It was clearly a dismissal.
Blink seemed a bit hesitant.
"Lorna, can't we..."
"No!" Lorna cut her off. "There are many mutants at the underground shelter, and I can't recklessly bring an unknown person back!"
As one of the leaders of the shelter, her caution was necessary.
Vex didn't mind.
He waved his hand, summoning a ball of seawater, which formed into a string of numbers.
"This is my number. If you ever need help, call me."
With that, he left without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared.
He didn't even give Blink a chance to decide.
His swift and clean exit left Lorna relieved, though she felt a slight twinge of guilt...
After all, he had just saved them.
"Blink." Lorna said irritably. "Are you coming back to the shelter with me, or...?"
Blink shrugged.
"If you're not welcoming me, I can leave."
Who didn't have a bit of pride?
This made Lorna hesitate...
Blink's teleportation ability was still very important for the shelter.
In the end, she said nothing more and started the speedboat, heading back.
