American comics: Old Wolverine, do whatever he wants.

Chapter 27 Gabriela's concerns, he is just an Uber driver

In the factory area next to the railway tracks, the iron wall had cracks, and dust passing by from time to time was swept outside the iron wall, making a clinking sound.

The old electric fan in the living room kept squeaking.

Logan sat at the table, measuring the holes in the iron table and trying to repair them with the wood from the table.

"Logan, how did you break it?"

Caliban squatted down and watched Logan's movements, and couldn't help but ask: "Also, how did you do this?"

The iron table is quite thick, and to make a hole like this, you would need to shoot it with at least a large-caliber rifle.

Of course, Logan's steel claws are also capable of punching through the table, but the shape of the hole is a regular circle, not a claw mark, which is obviously not the work of the steel claws.

"This one……"

Logan hesitated, considering whether to tell Caliban about his new abilities.

"It seems that Logan has something to say to us."

Charles Xavier, who was watching TV, noticed Logan's hesitation and pushed his wheelchair over with interest.

Logan glanced at the professor hesitantly. Before he could say anything, Caliban beside him shouted excitedly, "Great, Logan, are you finally planning to leave this damn place?"

Caliban dreams of leaving this damn place. Not only does he suffer from the high temperature and long-term ultraviolet radiation in the desert, but he also believes that he still has value and that the remaining decades of his life cannot be wasted here.

"No."

Logan shook his head decisively. He wanted to leave, but now was not the time.

“That’s very disappointing.”

Caliban felt lost and sat down on the chair helplessly, playing with the wooden block that Logan used to repair the table out of boredom.

Logan ignored the lost Caliban, pondered for a moment and finally said: "I have awakened a new ability."

He decided to tell the professor and Caliban that he had awakened his heat vision.

Although the awakening of thermal vision should not be revealed to others, after all, it is a killer move that can turn the tide of battle in times of crisis.

But in the past few years, Logan and Professor Caliban have depended on each other like close relatives, and no one in the world is more trustworthy than them.

"what?"

The professor and Caliban were stunned at first, then stared at Logan.

"That's impossible, Logan. You are already 200 years old. You are already past the age of awakening your abilities."

Caliban looked Logan up and down and shook his head. "I used to be a black market trader and I saw many mutants, but I have never seen anyone in a nursing home awaken mutant abilities."

Logan didn't say anything. He concentrated his attention, his eyes gradually became hot, and his pupils glowed red.

The next second, a beam of blazing light burst out, and the stuffy room was instantly covered in high temperature.

boom!
The light beam easily penetrated the table, and an identical small hole appeared next to the original hole that had not yet been repaired.

pat!

The wood Caliban was playing with fell to the ground with a clang. His pale face was full of disbelief as he stared at the new hole on the table in amazement.

He opened his mouth wide and said, "Scott's Cyclops? No, Cyclops is not like this. Logan, what is your ability?"

"Thermal sight."

Logan responded truthfully, "It uses high-temperature lasers emitted from the eyes. If it is used at full strength, it will be even more powerful than it is now."

"my God."

Caliban touched his bald forehead, looked at the professor beside him and asked, "Professor, is this normal?"

Charles stared at the hole on the table and said in silence: "Theoretically, it is possible, but... this is the first time I have seen it."

“I think it’s a pleasant surprise, too.”

Logan knows that no one in the world understands the X gene better than the professor, and his whole life revolves around the "X gene".

However, the professor has studied the X-gene for many years and has seen countless mutants at Xavier World Academy and many different cases, but he has never seen a case like Logan, a mutant who can awaken new abilities at the age of 200.

Most mutants awaken their mutant abilities during their teenage or young adult years. The younger the age, the higher the possibility of awakening. As age increases, the chance of awakening decreases year by year.

However, someone like Logan who awakened new abilities in old age can be said to be the only one in history.

"I just recently awakened this, and I've only used it twice so far."

Logan spoke truthfully to the two.

Charles looked at Logan and fell into deep thought for a long time before speaking again: "Maybe your mentality has changed recently, stimulating the potential in your body, which is why you have awakened this new ability."

Logan had been a little confused before, and had even thought about committing suicide more than once. Charles knew that he was carrying an adamantium bullet that could end his life at all times.

But during the last conversation in the water tower, Charles noticed a change in Logan's thinking. He even proposed the idea of ​​looking for a gathering place for mutants, which shows that his mentality is changing.

The abilities of mutants are mostly related to emotions.

Emotions stimulate the potential in genes, thereby inducing the awakening of mutant abilities.

It is very likely that after Logan's mentality changed, his emotions also changed, so he gained his new abilities. Although this idea is a bit far-fetched, Charles feels that this is the only reasonable explanation for Logan's awakening of new abilities.

"By the way, you haven't told anyone about this, have you?"

Charles stared at Logan seriously.

"No."

Logan shook his head, "You are the only two people who know that I have awakened new abilities."

"That's good."

Charles breathed a sigh of relief, and then said seriously: "This matter must not be known to outsiders!"

As he spoke, he turned and glanced at Caliban.

Caliban nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

Logan also reassured the professor, "Don't worry, I will hide it well."

If word were to spread that he could awaken new abilities at the age of two hundred, it would surely drive those biologists in white coats in the laboratory crazy.

At that time, countless forces will surround this broken factory as soon as possible, and even a drop of his blood will be studied crazily by those biologists as if it were a treasure.

Ding Dong!

The phone on the table suddenly rang with a message reminder.

An unread text message appears on the screen.

[Nurse]: When can we see you?

This is Gabriela, Logan gave her a code name just in case.

Logan picked up the phone and replied, "In a few days, now is not the time."

After sending the text message, Logan turned off the screen and his expression became increasingly solemn.

After helping Chris complete two missions, he had enough money to leave Santa Fe.

Perhaps, it is time to consider how to get rid of the Lawrence family and Donald.

...

...

...

At the same time, in a very shabby cheap hotel.

[Logan]: In a few days, it’s not the right time now.

Gabriela looked at the text message on the screen, holding the phone tightly in both hands anxiously.

She has been staying in this hotel for several days. Every day she has to be alert to the strange faces around her. Her mind is always tense. She even dares not sleep too deeply. This kind of life makes her exhausted.

At this time, a red ball rolled to the feet, and then a tender white little hand reached out and picked up the red ball.

The girl squatted on the ground with her head raised, holding a comic book in her other hand. The cover showed Wolverine and several children in a paradise.

She stood up and pointed at the comic book, "When are we going to the Garden of Eden?"

Gabriela tried to put some softness on his exhausted face and reached out to touch the girl's hair. "You have to wait a few more days. Wolverine will take you there then."

"The hero?"

Laura touched Wolverine in the comics.

In the picture, Wolverine stands on a huge rock, wearing a classic yellow battle suit, his eyes full of fearlessness and bravery. Sharp claws extend from between his clenched fists, scattering a metallic silver luster, and his tall body is like a warrior who dares to fight everything.

"Ah."

Gabriela smiled and nodded, but his eyes gradually dimmed.

That hero?

Maybe once upon a time.

She wasn't sure if Wolverine still had the same bloodiness he once had.

A full week had passed since she came here and contacted Wolverine, but the other party was reluctant to meet her, and even the content of the text message reply sounded more like a malicious mockery.

This forced her to consider whether Wolverine was really reliable. Perhaps he was not as great as described in the comics.

During this period, she also learned from other Uber drivers that James is now an alcoholic, and his bad temper even makes it difficult for him to make friends with whom he can drink.

Perhaps, the former Wolverine has grown old.

Now he is just an Uber driver who has no hope in life.

My request for help might just be his drunken prank...
