At the bar in the living room, Luna was excitedly telling Ye Zixun about the progress of the nursing home case.
Ye Zixun held the coffee in his hand, looked at his girlfriend's profile with a smile, and listened to her words quietly.
"...According to Sonya and I's speculation, as long as the nursing home case goes smoothly, our Skinner & Dane firm can earn at least $4 million from it, and it may even be more than that!"
"Four million?"
Ye Zixun was amazed and nodded, "Then we should celebrate."
Luna shook her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's wait until everything is settled!"
At this point, Luna paused, looked into Ye Zixun's eyes expectantly and said, "Will you come to attend the trial on the day of the trial?"
"Me?" Ye Zixun was stunned, thought for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "It depends on the situation. If possible, I will definitely not miss it."
"That's great!" A look of joy appeared on Lorna's face.
Just then, Ye Zixun's cell phone rang.
The familiar ringtone made the smile on Lorna's face disappear.
Ye Zixun looked at her helplessly, then took out his cell phone: "What's the matter, sir?"
"It's time to take action. Your target has appeared in New Mexico and is connected to the 084 incident there. Coulson believes that these two tasks may be carried out together, so he applied to me..."
Listening to Nick Fury's words on the phone, Ye Zixun couldn't help but sigh.
"Sir, don't tell me you've already reviewed it..."
"Yes, I have reviewed it. You now have 24 hours to take care of your personal affairs. After 24 hours, I want to see your location in New Mexico, or at least on a plane heading to New Mexico."
"Okay, sir, I understand."
Ye Zixun hung up the phone and looked at Luna apologetically.
"Sorry, Lorna, I seem to have to go on a field mission again."
"…Where are you going?"
“New Mexico.”
Luna nodded slightly, holding the warm coffee in her hand in silence.
Ye Zixun thought about it and suddenly said, "Do you know S.H.I.E.L.D."
Lorna was startled when she heard this: "What?"
Ye Zixun lowered his voice and said, "S.H.I.E.L.D., the full name is the Strategic National Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency."
Looking at the serious expression on Ye Zixun's face, Luna was stunned and seemed to have some premonition in her heart.
After all, they have been sleeping together for many years and are almost getting married. It is difficult for them to hide any big secrets from each other. Ye Zixun can sense that Luna has a secret, and Luna naturally finds out that he is not just an ordinary FBI agent.
After hesitating for a moment, Luna shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of it."
Ye Zixun explained in a low voice: "This is a mysterious department hidden behind the scenes. It has great power and is responsible for investigating various mysterious events. I am a level 7 agent affiliated with S.H.I.E.L.D..."
Lorna stared at him in a daze: "Why are you telling me this all of a sudden?"
Ye Zixun smiled slightly: "Of course it's to make you feel at ease!"
"Give me peace of mind?"
"Yes, so that you don't think that I am using the mission as an excuse to do something bad behind your back. Phew, to be honest, this is a big secret that I have kept from you for eight years. I feel much better now that I tell you!"
Looking at Ye Zixun, who looked relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief, Luna's face changed and she felt torn between her conscience and her conscience.
Soon, she gritted her teeth and said as if she had made a decision: "Actually, I have something to hide from you. I..."
Ye Zixun smiled and answered, "You are a mutant."
Luna was slightly startled and looked at him in disbelief.
"...You know?"
"Of course I know." Ye Zixun said with a mysterious look on his face, "Remember what I said just now? S.H.I.E.L.D. is responsible for investigating various mysterious events, including aliens, magic, mutants, and people with super powers."
"So you have already researched my information."
"To be honest, no." Ye Zixun shook his head. "According to my guess, something seems to have happened to the mutants, causing their confidentiality level to become extremely high. With my current authority, I cannot access the relevant information for the time being."
Lorna asked in confusion: "Then how did you know?"
Ye Zixun said calmly, "Of course I guessed it. After all, I am a Level 7 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I have been involved in countless supernatural events and I know the mentality of you superpowers hiding among ordinary people best. What's more, you and I are a couple who spend every day together. You don't think you can really hide it from me, do you?"
“…”
Luo Nawen fell silent after hearing this, and suddenly said after a long while: "715 Westchester incident."
Ye Zixun was stunned for a moment: "What?"
Lorna explained softly, "This is a mass casualty incident caused by mutants. The instigator of the incident is a mutant with powerful psychic abilities. We call him Professor X. As far as I know, Professor X lost control of his abilities due to physical damage and accidentally killed nearly a thousand innocent humans and mutants."
"After this incident, the human authorities took some measures against mutants, which led to a sharp decrease in the number of mutants. Those mutant organizations that were extremely active before also began to disappear..."
"So that's how it is." Ye Zixun seemed to be thinking. "If that's the case, Professor X may have acquiesced to the measures taken by humans because of his inner guilt, or even actively fanned the flames and sealed the memory of mutants in the brains of humans around the world. Otherwise, it can't explain why no one knows about mutants now."
“It is indeed possible.”
Lorna nodded, and suddenly asked in a complicated tone: "What do you think?"
Ye Zixun was surprised and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Lorna hesitated and said softly, "Of course it's about mutants. After all, mutants have done terrible things before. If you are afraid of me, or even... even disgusted by me, I can completely understand..."
"Lorna, what are you talking about?"
Ye Zixun laughed, then gently held Lorna's hand, looked into her eyes and said seriously: "I don't care whether you are a human or a so-called mutant, because I love Lorna Dane. As for your identity, it is just an accessory and a plus point for you. Don't say that you are just a mutant. Even if you are the ultimate villain hidden behind the world, I am willing to be the enemy of the world for you..."
Hearing Ye Zixun's extremely affectionate confession, Luna's eyes and cheeks gradually turned red.
Ye Zixun chuckled and hugged her in his arms, whispering, "Besides, mutants are nothing. I have seen genius scientists who turned into green monsters because they took the initiative to accept human experiments, genius billionaires flying around the world in iron armor, and countless cruel wars started by humans. To put it bluntly, compared with the crises caused by humans themselves, mutants are really not worth mentioning!"
Leaning in the familiar warm embrace, Luna bit her lower lip lightly, and her mind unconsciously recalled the scene of her first awakening of her abilities.
That was her first kiss with Ye Zixun in the cinema. The sudden magnetic field force made Luna feel very panicked at the time, and she had an urge to escape, but Ye Zixun did not do as she wished. He forced her to stay and continued to kiss in the dark.
It was in such a warm embrace that she gradually regained her composure and miraculously learned how to control her abilities.
Recalling the sweet love in the past, Luna suddenly remembered something and said shyly: "Oh, there are some things I haven't told you..."
Ye Zixun sniffed the scent of shampoo and asked absentmindedly, "What's the matter?"
Lorna raised her head from his arms, looked into his eyes and said a little embarrassedly: "Laura, John and Sonya in the law firm are actually mutants too."
"……ha?"
Ye Zixun widened his eyes and looked at his girlfriend in his arms in astonishment.
Does this mean that their law firm has now become a base for mutants?
"You mean, you formed an underground mutant organization?"
"It's not really an organization!" Lorna thought for a moment and explained, "I just found these mutants who were not accepted by their families, brought them together, and supported each other in life. I don't have any specific purpose or goal. If I have to say it, it's probably to live a good life like ordinary people..."
Ye Zixun nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked vigilantly: "Do you know Marcus?"
Luna thought about it and shook her head: "I don't know him."
It’s better not to know...
Ye Zixun nodded. Marcus was the boyfriend of Lorna, the North Star in the American TV series "X-Men: God-Given". He showed mutant abilities since he was a child and was abandoned by his parents. In order to make a living, Marcus joined a Mexican drug trafficking organization. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for him to communicate with Lorna now.
Lorna asked curiously, "Is he a mutant too?"
Ye Zixun said seriously: "Yes, and he is a bad mutant who joined a criminal organization."
Luna thought about it and nodded: "I understand. If I have the chance to meet him in the future, I will be careful."
Ye Zixun said with relief: "That's right, and once you start fighting, you must not show mercy. You should kill this kind of self-degrading evildoer and send him to repent before God!"
