Chapter 23 Untitled
The waiter brought them the ice cream Sheldon had ordered, one vanilla and one chocolate.
Sheldon took out the chess and chessboard from the suitcase, and arranged them enthusiastically, "Come on, Leonard, you will lose immediately."
Leonard looked at him helplessly, "Sheldon, I don't want to play chess now."
"Then what do you want to play? Famicom?" Sheldon asked, "But I didn't bring it with me, and it should be chess time now!"
"God, I mean I don't want to play any games right now." Leonard gestured in Abel's direction with both hands, "We still have a child here, we have to get rid of his business first."
Sheldon looked at Abel, who smiled softly at him.
Shelton sat down on the sofa and began to eat ice cream in frustration, with a dissatisfied face, but he didn't say anything that shouldn't be said.
Leonard pushes his portion of ice cream in front of Abel.
Abel raised his head and looked at him in surprise, "Give me something to eat?"
"Yes." Leonard nodded and said, "For you to eat."
As he spoke, Leonard took out his cell phone from his pocket and asked him, "What's your family's phone number? Let me contact them."
Abel happily picked up a small spoon and took a mouthful of ice cream and put it in his mouth. It was cool, sweet, and very delicious. Abel narrowed his eyes, "I don't know."
It was a coincidence that Abel lived in X Academy for so long, but no one remembered to tell him his phone number, even Peter forgot about it.
It may be because Abel looked too young at the time, only five or six years old, or it may be because of Abel's special status. After all, because of Abel's status as a "mutant", everyone will find a way to prevent Abel from Out of my sight, even if it is an ordinary human child, parents at such a young age will not let the child out of their sight, let alone a mutant child?
Especially under the blessing of Professor Charles' telepathic ability, it seems that everyone is subconsciously reassured about the protection of this aspect, so they ignore the most common teachings instead.
Leonard was obviously taken aback by this answer. After all, Abel looks like he is still a minor, but he is about sixteen or seventeen years old. Such an old child doesn't even know his family's phone number, which is too much. Strange.
Leonard: "And do you know your friend's phone number? Or the contact information of someone you know?"
Abel thought about it, then shook his head honestly, "I don't know."
Then he tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Leonard opened his mouth, feeling that this kid was a little too 'naive', he seemed a little ignorant of the world, and to put it bluntly, he was a little silly.
Who can eat ice cream here without worrying about how to go home if their children are not kidnapped and sold abroad!
However, Leonard really misunderstood Abel on this point. After all, for Abel, whether it is the United States or the United Kingdom, they are all on the earth, so they are all in his home, so Abel will not come because of coming. The UK will show panic, and as the essence of the earth, Abel really doesn't worry that anyone will be against him on the earth, and he is very confident.
"I have to contact your family and let them pick you up." Leonard said, "If you really don't know how to contact your family, then I can only go to the police to take you home .”
"Send me back?" Abel bit the spoon and asked, "Go back to New York?"
Leonard nodded.
"I can go back by myself," Abel said.
"How do you go back?" Leonard asked subconsciously, and then reacted suddenly, looked at Abel with a curious and vigilant look, and asked cautiously: "Use your...well, mutant ability?"
"Well... almost." Abel said indifferently.
"So you're really a mutant?" Sheldon's eyes lit up instantly, "What's your ability?"
Before Abel could answer him, Leonard immediately said: "We have no other intentions!"
"We just want to make sure you can go home safely." Then he said in a tactful and expectant tone: "Of course...if you want to say something to us, of course it's also fine."
"Then don't talk about it!" Abel's attention was completely attracted by the ice cream, and he didn't want to talk too much, but he always had extraordinary tolerance and patience for the creatures on the earth, and was always willing to satisfy all of them. He has to ask, so even if he is completely uninterested in many things, he will go along with the other party.
But now that Leonard said it doesn't matter whether he answers or not, Abel doesn't care.
Leonard choked, and Sheldon looked at him dissatisfied.
Leonard saw Abel eating the delicious ice cream, thought for a while, and couldn't help but said, "How are you going to go back? Wouldn't it be safe for you to be alone?"
Of course it is impossible to be unsafe, for Abel there is no place safer than on earth, but this is not the first person to worry about Abel's safety, first Peter and later Professor Charles , and later the students and teachers of the entire x academy, everyone was worried about his safety because of his young age.
So Abel felt that he should be able to understand Leonard's concerns.
Abel thought for a while and said, "How about someone pick me up?"
Sheldon: "Didn't you say that you don't know the contact information of your family and friends?"
"I can call him." Abel said seriously: "He will hear."
As he spoke, Abel put the last scoop of ice cream into his mouth, showed a satisfied smile, and then said, "Clark, I'm here!"
Leonard and Sheldon showed blank expressions.
……
When Abel disappeared again, the entire X Academy was summoned to find someone. Everyone searched every location in the school, even under Eric Lanshere's bed, but there was no sign of Abel. At this time, no one in the entire school was missing except for Abel, so Abel disappeared alone, which obviously greatly increased Abel's danger.
And as Pietro, who volunteered to go to the night vigil but lost Abel, he almost cried with guilt.
"It's all my fault!" Pietro said with worry and guilt on his face, "If I hadn't fallen asleep, Abel would not have disappeared!"
"I promised Peter to take good care of Abel, how could I do him justice!"
Eric couldn't understand Pietro's useless look of a big man who was about to cry, and mocked: "That kid is so ugly, even if it wasn't you, no one else would look down on him."
Pietro immediately turned his head and shouted at him, "Shut up!"
Super fierce.
Eric choked, since he became famous, it was the first time anyone dared to be so fierce to him.
Charles next to him was sitting in a wheelchair with a tired face. He rubbed the center of his brows and said, "I'll go to the basement to feel it again."
But Abel can block Charles' ability, so Charles can't guarantee that he can find Abel. He has actually tried once before this, but there is no trace of Abel at all.
Pietro sniffled, "I, I'm going to call Peter..."
……
Since Clark Kent accepted the task entrusted to him by Abel, he has been doing his best to perform his duties every day, and has worked harder than before to protect human beings. , Slowly everyone discovered that Superman began to haunt all over the United States, as if there was no city where he could not be seen except Gotham.
Superman's prestige is gradually rising, and people who have been helped by him are sincerely grateful to him, and there are advantages and disadvantages. After his superman's behavior becomes more publicized, some people who regard Superman as a thorn in his side are even more disgusted with him.
Among them, Lecter Luthor is particularly serious.
Lecter Luthor: Superman finally revealed his true colors, this alien must have a conspiracy!
However, this time Clark was very confident.
I am already an Earthling, but I am a person backed by the spirit of the Earth, who am I afraid of?
I have no fear in the days of the quilt, yay.
Then Abel disappeared.
Although Abel has shown Clark his abilities and told him his identity, it may be because Abel has always appeared in a three-headed and cute appearance, and his speech is full of childishness, so it always makes people Subconsciously ignoring his identity, Clark occasionally worried about Abel's safety.
So when monitoring whether aliens landed in the United States on weekdays, Clark would occasionally check to see if Abel was safe.
Then suddenly one day, he couldn't find Abel!
Whether it was X Academy, Parker's family, or even the entire United States, Abel could not be found.
It’s not that Clark didn’t think that Abel went to other countries to investigate. After all, he is an earth spirit and has a sense of responsibility for the safety of the earth, so it is normal to go to other areas to inspect, and Abel also He bluntly mentioned to him that he himself is also monitoring the safety of other areas.
But the depressed atmosphere and anxious search for mutants in X Academy is not fake.
Abel is very sensible, and he will never let others worry about it, so if he is really just going out to do errands, there is no reason not to say hello to him in advance, it is a bit arrogant to say that, after all, Abel is not Clark's subordinate, but Clark It's Abel's 'subordinate', so it doesn't make sense to tell him his whereabouts in reverse, but Clark has such a kind of self-confidence that if Abel leaves the United States, he will tell himself.
And now Abel disappeared without telling anyone, which is obviously not a good sign.
Clark didn't dare to think about what would happen to the earth if something happened to the earth spirit.
Just when Clark was in a hurry to go to the sky, his sensitive ears moved, and he heard Abel calling his name.
