“I’m not letting you away that easily!”
Hawking took the pose and blasted one of the retreating helicopters with Kamehameha.
How could he let those precious Justice Points go?
However, after that one shot, he felt that he didn’t have enough energy for the last helicopter.
He looked around and quickly fixed his gaze on a decorative stone pillar on the left side of the school.
He ran over and cut the pillar to size with the chops of his hand, removing it. He then aimed at the last combat helicopter, already as small as a dot in his vision, and threw the pillar at them while shouting out loud.
The four-meter-long and half-meter-thick stone pillar, thrown by Hawking with all his strength, flew like a missile straight towards the almost invisible little black dot.
BOOM!
The last combat helicopter also turned into a ball of beautiful sparks in the sky.
Goku had already climbed the Korin Tower at 13 years old, and defeated Mercenary Tao. Naturally, Hawking could replicate Mercenary Tao’s feat of throwing stone pillar barehanded while having Goku template loaded.
If he wanted to, he could also jump to catch up with the stone pillar and ride the stone pillar away.
Back in Sokovia, if it wasn’t for the missiles flying all over the place, he would have used this method.
“I take back what I said. You weren’t just acting tough. You got actions backing your words!”
Wolverine said as he watched the distant helicopter exploding. He then turned to Hawking.
Hawking, on the other hand, stretched out his hand to Wolverine.
“What?”
Wolverine didn’t understand what Hawking meant.
“Cigarette!”
Hawking pointed to the cigar in Wolverine’s hand.
Wolverine quickly waved his hand:
“No, that was that, and this is this. You still have to wait for this one.”
But Hawking’s figure flashed for a second, and Wolverine’s cigarette pack and lighter had teleported to his hand.
Wolverine couldn’t even hope to compete with Hawking’s current speed.
He took out a cigar from the box, lit it, and held it in his mouth with a serious look.
He didn’t even smoke, usually. He was just teasing Wolverine after getting annoyed with the random nicknames.
“Oh God, the professor would kill me if he knew!”
Wolverine’s eyes twitched when he saw Hawking holding a cigar in his mouth.
Professor X had been complaining about his smoking habit. He was scolded last time for smoking inside Cerebro.
The professor said that the next time he saw Wolverine smoke where he shouldn’t, he would turn Wolverine into a six years old girl and let Jean braid his hair.
If the professor knew he was giving cigarettes to school students, he would be doomed.
“Don’t worry, if the professor finds me smoking or drinking, I will tell you that it was you who taught me, Logan.”
Hawking waved a lit cigar in front of Wolverine’s face.
“Alright! I won’t call you little monkey anymore, but you’d have to keep this a secret!”
Logan facepalmed.
Hawking stopped joking around and got into business.
“Logan, where did the professor go tonight?”
“I’m not sure. I just arrived at school in the evening. Professor Charles said he wanted to visit old friends. Jean and the others went to Boston. It seemed to be related to a mutant attacking the president.”
Hawking’s strength and mature personality made Wolverine stop treating him as a child.
After hearing Logan’s words, Hawking’s pupils suddenly shrank.
“No, Logan, do you know where the Cerebro is?”
“Yes.”
Logan nodded.
At the Cerebro…
“It really was Colonel Stryker!”
Hawking looked at the destroyed entrance and the empty Cerebro room. He was sure who just attacked the school.
Colonel Stryker, full name William Stryker.
His son was a mutant who cannot control his abilities and accidentally killed his wife. He swore to kill all mutants in the world.
He abducted mutants and conducted experiments in an attempt to create the most powerful weapon to kill all mutants. This gave birth to Wolverine, who possesses Adamantium alloy skeleton.
Now he uses his son’s brain fluid to control the teleporting Nightcrawler to assassinate the president, thus luring Professor X to the prison where Magneto was. At the same time, he distracted the other professors from the school and sent people to steal the brain wave enhancement machine.
The final step was to use his son’s illusion ability to control Professor X, and then use Cerebro to kill all mutants in the world.
“I didn’t think that he would take the Cerebro away.”
Hawking sighed.
He recalled that there was a transport plane on the lawn, but it wasn’t there anymore.
Stryker probably had gotten his hand on the Cerebro.
“Abducting students, stealing Cerebro. What did they want?”
Wolverine looked at the empty Cerebro chamber with a puzzled look.
This kind of thinking exercise was obviously not his jam.
“The time is almost up!”
Hawking then noticed the countdown of his ability. The template’s runtime is almost out.
“Go to the secret passage. Find Piotr and ask him to use the school’s broadcast system to contact the professor and all the teachers. My abilities have reached the limit; I need to take a rest.”
He didn’t have time to finish his sentences before fainting.
“Little monkey!”
Wolverine was shocked to see Hawking suddenly faint. He immediately caught his body.
He checked for Hawking’s pulses, and sighed in relief to know that the child was still alive.
“What a strange ability.”
Hawking’s hair flattened, and his clothes and staff disappeared. Wolverine brought him to the secret passage where Piotr and the other gathered.
Many mutants pass out after overusing their abilities, especially younger ones. Wolverine thought that was the case with Hawking.
…
Drowsy, groggy.
“Brother! Brother!”
The familiar call made Hawking gradually open his eyes.
When Wanda and Pietro saw Hawking waking up, they immediately cried and threw themselves on him.
Born in war-torn Sokovia, even though they were much stronger than other children of the same age, they were still frightened when they saw Wolverine coming back with the unconscious Hawking in his arms.
“Okay, stop crying, I’m fine.”
Hawking sat up and looked at the surrounding environment while comforting the two brothers and sisters.
A large and luxurious villa, where all the school’s mutant children are, it should be a temporary shelter outside the school that Professor X prepared just in case.
“You were unconscious for an hour, but you seem to be fine.”
Wolverine came in after realizing Hawking was awake, beer in his hand.
And Hawking was moved when he heard Wolverine’s words.
“An hour. I guess body training really did lessen the aftereffects of the template.”
