A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 268 She needs a family member as a role model

“Victor, what’s going on with this photo? Why aren’t you replying to my messages?” A few minutes later, Carol Danvers’ video call came through.

Because after Li Wei sent Katya a photo, he didn't reply to any of her messages.

Captain Marvel, who is already rather impatient, couldn't stand this.

Naturally, he halted his attack on a Kree outpost, found a quiet place, and sent a communication to Levi.

"Actually, it's nothing much. I just found a little girl who looks like your niece. The photo she sent you isn't a picture of you when you were little, but a picture of this little girl. As for why she didn't reply to your messages, it's because she was just confirming her father's identity." Facing the somewhat impatient Captain Jing, Li Wei answered very slowly and methodically.

"My niece???" Captain Shock's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing Li Wei's reply.

“That’s right. When I was organizing your information before, I saw photos of you when you were a child. So when I saw this little girl, I naturally thought of you. After all, she looks so much like you when you were a child. So I investigated her father, and her mother told me that the child’s father is named Joseph Danvers Jr. Then I checked again, and it is indeed your brother,” Li Wei explained.

“…I see…but this child looks so much like me!” Hearing Levi’s words, Carol finally remembered that she still had family on Earth, and sighed with emotion.

It's no wonder Carole forgot about her family.

Because her father favored boys over girls since she was a child, her mother and brothers shared the same mentality.

Therefore, she had a bad relationship with her family since childhood, and after becoming an adult, she moved out of her family home, joined the army on her own, and became a pilot.

This point is made in the Captain Marvel movie when Monica Rambo, the daughter of Maria Rambo who was once her partner, shows Carol, who has not yet fully regained her memory, her old photos.

Therefore, even after Captain Marvel regained her memories, she never had any thought of "going home".

So seeing my niece now, who looks so much like me when I was a child, fills me with emotion.

“There’s an old saying in the East: ‘A nephew resembles his uncle, and a niece resembles her aunt.’ So it’s perfectly normal for your niece to resemble you,” Li Wei replied.

"I see... Wait, how did she get involved with you guys?" Carol suddenly realized. Having worked with Levi and his group before, she naturally knew what kind of organization the Alliance was.

Now my niece is actually in contact with them... What happened to my niece?

“Um… this matter is actually a bit complicated…” When Carol asked him this, Levi’s expression immediately turned strange.

It has to be said, Captain Marvel and the Kree are truly sworn enemies.

She herself was kidnapped and reformed by the Kree, which is one thing.

Her niece is an Inhuman, and Inhumans are also products of Kree genetic experiments...

So, Levi explained to Captain Marvel the origins of the Inhumans and Katya's situation.

"Damn Kree!!!" Before Levi could finish speaking, he only heard the origin of the Inhumans, accompanied by Captain Marvel's angry curse, when the communication between the two suddenly went black.

Li Wei didn't even need to guess.

It must have been Carol who, in a fit of anger, crushed the communicator.

So I waited patiently for a while.

Sure enough, within minutes, an unfamiliar call came in.

"Sorry, I accidentally broke my own communicator, so I just grabbed one from a Kree outpost!" Carol explained calmly.

His tone was as if he'd just stepped on a few ants. It seemed the Kree at that outpost were in a rather precarious situation.

Li Wei thought to himself.

But it has nothing to do with him.

“It’s nothing, I understand. So, what are your thoughts on this child?” Levi asked Carol.

“What could I possibly think? She has her own parents, and besides that, she also has you all, doesn’t she?” Carol retorted. “And didn’t you say yourself that your girlfriend is planning to take her on as her disciple?”

Although she was surprised to have a niece who looked so much like herself when she was a child.

However, due to past family circumstances, she did not want to have much contact with her suddenly appearing niece.

“That’s not how it works. Your brother doesn’t know about this daughter’s existence, and because Eva was suddenly taken away back then, he has already remarried and had children. So it’s not certain whether he will acknowledge this daughter,” Li Wei explained.

Because of Eva's sudden departure, Joseph Jr. had no idea that she was pregnant, and naturally, he didn't know that he had a daughter.

So, two years after Eva disappeared, he got married and now has a happy family.

This kind of thing is perfectly normal and there's nothing wrong with it.

“As for Eva… although she’s also an Outcast, to be honest, she’s too weak-willed. She bears a significant responsibility for what happened to Katya. So I think Katya needs a more reliable elder as a role model! In this respect, a teacher can’t replace her,” Levi continued.

For a child, the power of role models is immense.

Especially when this role model is their family member.

Although Levi and Wanda could teach Katya on their own.

But he felt that none of those things were as reliable as having a cosmic superhero as a role model.

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Carol fell silent.

“I must say, you’re right. In that case, I’ll go back in a while and see the child!” After thinking for a moment, Carol sighed and said, “But in the meantime, I’ll have to ask you to take care of her.”

She agreed to Levi's proposal not because Katya was her niece.

If Katya were an ordinary child, she wouldn't care too much, even if the other person was her niece.

The problem now is that Katya is an Inhuman with extraordinary abilities.

Mind control is an extremely rare and powerful ability, even in the universe.

Therefore, Captain Marvel, who always has an overflowing sense of justice, really cannot accept that such a child has gone astray.

"You can rest assured about that. We brought her back not because her aunt is Captain Marvel!" Li Wei said with a smile.

He had a very strong feeling that as long as he recruited Katya into the League...

So Captain Marvel will eventually be tied to the League's chariot.
