"Sir, the children are all settled."
At 5 o'clock in the morning, the annihilation operation was over, and Coulson, who had been busy all night, reported to Merlin in his hotel room: "A total of 313 children, and 74 adults, have been placed in safe places, and more than half of them have been implanted with X-gene serum, and Dr.
Moira is monitoring their physical condition, but most of them are not optimistic." ”Coulson's expression was quite heavy, he was essentially a kind man, and although he had been an agent for so many years, he still couldn't see anyone suffering."
Well, try to take care of them."
Merlin said to Coulson, "Also, inform Utopia and share the full situation with Professor Charles, who I am sure will gladly accept this group of homeless children to them." ”"Moreover, they must know more about the X gene than we do, whether it is the treatment method or the subsequent placement, they must have more methods.""
It was the right choice to hand over these poor children to them, and of course, don't forget to submit the full mission report to the Director's Office, as well as to the World Security Council, and I'm sure the parliamentarians would love to see yet another cruel and illegal civilian pilot project terminated," Merlin said. ”"Okay, sir, I'll deal with it right away."
Coulson had been the director of S.D.O.L.D. for a while, and he had that serious temperament as a leader, and of course, he would occasionally be indecisive over some difficult decisions, but for the most part, Coulson had been able to handle it perfectly.He lived up to the expectations that Merlin and Fury had in him, and he did his job well."
Also, Chief Merlin."
Before leaving, Coulson added: "I talked to the young men at the end of the previous mission, and they seemed to find their meaning in this operation, and they were quite happy to join the S.D.O.L.D., I also plan to recruit them and form a special squad of mutants, they all have great potential and are worth cultivating. ”"It's your business, Coulson."
Merlin didn't raise his head and said, "You need to make your own judgment, if you feel you should do it, then do it." ”"I'm just worried about Utopia."
Coulson voiced his concerns: "Several of them have abilities from X-Men genetic samples, and their abilities are very similar to the main members of the X-Men, and my concern is that if we recruit them, it may affect our relationship with Utopia." ”"Impact?
No, it won't make a difference. ”Merlin raised his head and said to Coulson: "Professor Charles is a man who understands righteousness, although the X-Men are involved in racial issues, and it is difficult for them to truly become a force that S.H.I.E.L.D. can rely on, but I believe that Professor Charles must also hope that his people can play a positive role in the social order...
This recruitment is a good opportunity to find a way to use the power of mutants for us after Inhumans. ”He said to Coulson, "So go ahead and I'll talk to Professor Charles if there's a problem."
Also, give those young guys some new code names...
I mean, if they don't want to continue to be the shadow of the X-Men, then they need to have their own codename. ”"Well, I'll take care of it."
Coulson nodded knowingly, this feeling of having a superior to take the blame for whatever you do is really good.However, before leaving, Coulson couldn't help but glance at Laura, the little girl who was sleeping on the sofa next to Merlin, who was clutching Merlin's arm even after she fell asleep.Merlin noticed Coulson's gaze, and he said helplessly: "Lorna's incident is repeating itself, you should be able to understand, Coulson, children are like this, they are very simple, whoever is good to them, they are good to whom, and they are unreservedly dependent and attached." ”"I understand, sir."
Coulson shrugged his shoulders and said to Merlin, "Ever since I knew you, sir, you have always been very fond of children, and I think Laura is really close to you, and besides, this child has a special ability and character, and only you can get close to her without worrying about being hurt." ”"yes, she's like a little hedgehog."
Merlin looked at the sleeping Laura, and said: "It is even more extreme than Lorna at that time, and the most terrible thing is that this child has already killed people in order to protect herself, just like a wolf cub who has seen blood, if she feels threatened, she will not hesitate at all...""
Just leave her here, Coulson, you go and rest, you've been busy all night, you need to take care of your body...
Look at your hair, you've been losing hair again lately, right?
”"Don't mention that, sir."
Coulson's expression became ugly, and he said to Merlin a little frantically, "I've always had a good rest, and I've tried a lot of things, but hair loss is such a thing...
I can't help it. ”"Okay, okay.In short, if you want to stay happy, maybe things will get better. ”Merlin gave Coulson an idea as he said, "By the way, how are you and your girlfriend, the cellist, the lady named Audrey, doing?"
”"Uh, it's okay.""
We've been to her house together, and she's been to mine, but Audrey has a clear plan for her life, so if it goes any further, it's probably going to be a few years away," Coulson said. ”"Hold on, Coulson."
Merlin went into nagging mode again, and he babbled to Coulson: "You are 31 years old this year, you are not young anymore, you really should start a family." ”Coulson glanced at his director with strange eyes, and he slandered in his heart: You still have the face to say me, I have at least one girlfriend, you are 35 years old, and you are still single...
At present, there is no trace of taking off the order.Of course, these words cannot be said in person, not only because of workplace etiquette, but also because everyone knows that emotional problems have always been a taboo for Director Merlin.A long time ago, there were rumors about the affair between Director Merlin and Agent Hill, but it turned out that the guy is still staying at the Barrow base in Alaska, and it is said that even the resignation report has been sent back several times."
Then I'll go first, Director, you have a good rest."
Coulson finished talking about the matter, and was about to leave, but when he opened the door, Merlin suddenly remembered something, and he said to Coulson, "There is one more thing, Coulson.Deadpool, that is, Wade, his sentence is coming to an end, from now on, let him get out of the combat sequence of the Thunder Task Force first, arrange him into the combat team, and let him go to South America to hunt down those fugitive Hydras, well, count 5 missions first, and after the 5 missions are over, his sentence will end. ”"Of course, after he is free, he must also be put on the alien watch list, he is a restless guy and must be closely watched.""
yes, okay."
Coulson would have liked to talk about Deadpool's mental issues, but considering that the ghost base has always been in charge of Merlin, if Merlin thinks Wade.
If Wilson can get out of prison, then it means that he must have thought it through.So Coulson didn't say anything more, accepted the task, and then opened the door and left the room.Everything was quiet.Merlin reached out and touched the hair of Laura, the sleeping little girl next to her, and then reached out and snapped her fingers to turn off the lights in the room.He quietly pulled his hand from Laura's arm, and then covered the little girl with a blanket.Spirit Butterfly was in the next room, and when Merlin came back just now, she was already asleep, and the poor mercenary was weak, so Merlin didn't bother her.He went to the bathroom, took off his clothes, put hot water in it, and lay down in it.It's been a tiring day.Dealing with the Hulk, then going to help Pierce with a report, and then in the middle of the night there was another war of annihilation, and a fight with a dangerous mutant.In just a dozen hours, Merlin completed several things that ordinary people couldn't even imagine.In just a dozen hours, he saved more than 400 people...
Well, that's his job, to protect those who can't protect themselves, to protect them from malicious forces, and Merlin's only regret about tonight's events is that he's too late.If he had come earlier, Laura's friends, the poor children, would not have suffered such a painful end, and Laura, the poor girl, would not have been what she is now."
Alas...
It's not enough to just do your best. ”Merlin leaned his head on the edge of the bathtub tiredly, and Icarus didn't bother him, after all, Icarus was a cold girl, and when Merlin was bathing naked, she would always take the initiative to turn off external perception.Lying in the hot water was comfortable, which made Merlin feel drowsy, but his senses did not relax, and the years of being an agent made him develop a habit of being sharp at all times.A few minutes later, in the shadows, Merlin opened his eyes.Someone came in...The door to the bathroom was pushed open the next moment, and Lingdie was standing there, dressed in very simple clothes.Merlin's expression changed slightly, and before he could say anything, the mercenary stepped out of her legs and entered the bathtub, and the next moment, Merlin had an uninvited guest beside her."
I know you're hesitating, I know what you're trying to say to me, little man."
Spirit Butterfly stretched out her finger and put it to Merlin's mouth, she whispered in Merlin's ear, and the gentle and moist breath slapped Merlin's ear, giving him a special feeling."
I know, you're a very traditional man, always a little hellish machismo, always think that having a relationship is responsible, I don't actually reject this idea, but what I want to say is..." ”"Remember, little man."
Lingdie turned over, she looked at Merlin condescendingly, and said to him very strongly: "I took the initiative today, you were forced, if anyone asks about this, you tell them that I forced you to do this, and then let them come to me!"
”"Elizabeth..."
Merlin wanted to say something, but the next moment, Lingdie covered his mouth again: "ShhhhhhDon't talk...
Ah, it's been a long, long time since a man has moved me so much, but you did it, little man.And we rude mercenaries are like that, you have to be rewarded for doing good deeds, you have to be paid...""
So, let's take this as a reward."
In the darkness, the water rippled, and the light, thought-provoking sound echoed in the bathroom, but it was blocked by a soundproof barrier, hiding everything tonight in silent silence.There are children out there...———————————— the next morning, Merlin secretly opened the door and walked into the room, only to see the little girl Laura sitting on the sofa, looking at him expressionlessly."
Uh, I went to buy breakfast."

Merlin reached out and shook the sandwich and drink she was holding at Laura.He walked over to the couch, sat down next to Laura, and handed her the sandwich.But Laura didn't reach for it, but twitched her little nose and sniffed at Merlin.This kid not only inherited Logan's terrifying self-healing powers, but also inherited Wolverine's beastly perception and super sense of smell almost perfectly.Merlin's residual smell couldn't hide from her.Four silver steel claws popped out from between the little girl's hand bones, and Laura rushed to the door menacingly, apparently planning to trouble the vixen who lived next door."
Hey!
Girl. ”Merlin flashed in front of Laura's eyes, his left hand crossed his waist, his right hand pointed to Laura's paw, and he said, "You promised me." ”Laura stared at Merlin angrily, this girl almost didn't speak, any of her feelings seemed to be expressed through her eyes and expressions, but Icarus had checked Laura's body, and the girl's vocal cords were not damaged, so she could speak, but she didn't want to speak."
Okay, don't meddle in the affairs of adults, it's very complicated, alas..."
Merlin sighed, he helplessly reached out and patted Laura's head, took Laura's hand, and sat her back on the sofa, he handed the sandwich to the little girl, who took it in his hand and bit silently."
Listen to me, Laura, there's something I need to ask for your opinion."
Merlin reached out and grabbed a comb, and a comb flew into his hand, and he was about to comb Laura's hair, a skill he had already practiced when he was taking care of Lorna.He ruffled Laura's hair and said to the little girl, "Your parents, uh, I mean your biological parents, are no longer found, I only know that you are from Bolivia, and I don't know anything else."
But I guess you probably don't care about them anymore...
However, you theoretically have another relative, uh, the other two. ”Merlin said to Laura, who was expressionless, "First of all, it's your genetic mother, that is, Wolverine Logan, who is my friend, and you can treat him as a father or an older brother."
The other is the same Logan genobody as you, and his name is Hudson. ”"I mean, you can't live alone all the time, so, if you can, I'd like you to talk to them."
Laura immediately threw away the sandwich, turned around, and grabbed Merlin's arm, and she shook her head at Merlin with a determined expression."
No, I'm not trying to drive you away."
Merlin chuckled and said, "Just to meet, and then you go to Utopia, choose to stay, or follow them...
The choice is yours. ”He stretched out his hand and scraped the bridge of Laura's nose, and he said to the little girl helplessly: "Alas, anyway, I have raised so many children, and you are not one of them." ”()
