The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 3694: The Mercury Age (4)

Chapter 3694: The Mercury Age (XIV)

"Oh, hey, good morning." Coulson waved to both of them and stood up to make coffee.

Steve still obviously felt a little embarrassed, but he wasn't the type to run away, so he put his phone down, stood up, patted Bucky's arm and said, "Sorry, it was a misunderstanding yesterday. We really shouldn't have rushed in so rashly."

“It’s okay.” Bucky smiled, with a look that said “I forgive the world.” Even Natasha, who was always known for her viciousness, didn’t say much. She just rolled her eyes at Steve and walked to the other side of the sofa.

"Uh..." Steve uttered a syllable, looking at his back, and then said, "I'm sorry. Ma'am, I may have misunderstood you. I swear I won't do this again."

"It's okay." Natasha threw herself into the sofa, stretched hard, and then curled up and said, "Our dear Mr. Barnes has apologized for you, very sincerely, and I can only forgive you."

Steve breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he felt something was wrong. But the topic had already passed quickly, and Bucky and Coulson started chatting. Natasha was typing quickly on her phone, obviously in a group chat. Steve couldn't find the right time to interrupt, and it was like a lump in his throat. He hated his curiosity.

Then Stark came crashing in, and the scene was a little awkward. The nano-mechs were put away, and Stark turned around in a circle, pinching his fingers and saying, "A small mistake in the control system."

With a "bang", Peter, holding Pikachu, also fell in, followed by an angry Pepper.

"You two damn terrorists! Didn't I tell you not to practice cooking in the kitchen at home? You blew up two-thirds of the cabinets and broke the refrigerator! It will take half a month to renovate the kitchen!!"

Stark touched his nose and said, "I just think the direction of the heating wire distribution of the electric grill is a bit unreasonable. You know, no mechanical engineer can tolerate this."

"I swear I didn't spill the flour on purpose!" Peter stretched out his hand and swore, "I just didn't see the fork that fell on the ground and stepped on it accidentally. And no one could have predicted that the electric baking pan would produce sparks at that moment..."

Steve next to him couldn't help but cover his forehead. He leaned back on the sofa and said to Coulson, "You're right, Coulson. I shouldn't have any expectations for my birthday party."

Then Nick rushed in and said to Peter, "Great, Peter. You finally figured it out! Our third generation Spider-Man is finally coming back!"

"Uh..." Peter scratched his head awkwardly. He said, "I want to take back the power of the Spider Totem not because I want to continue to be Spider-Man, but mainly because the kitchen is indeed a bit too dangerous. I need the spider sense to help me survive."

"No, Peter, my nano-mech is so fast! Didn't it successfully save you from the explosion?"

"Sure, but I'd rather I didn't step on that fork."

Stark sighed deeply, and then said angrily, "If Schiller hadn't asked me to make my own hamburger buns, I wouldn't have had to use an electric grill pan... Speaking of electric grill pans, that kind of spiral heating wire is unreasonable. I have thought of a better plan. I will make a sample this afternoon and then hand it over to the factory for mass production. It will be called the Stark brand electric grill pan. It will definitely be popular all over the world, and everyone who makes cheeseburgers will remember me in the future!"

Steve walked over to the sofa and sat down again and said to Coulson, "Your remarks about cyborgs make some sense, but obviously, not only those who have undergone genetic modification are crazy."

Schiller arrived as soon as he was mentioned. He was almost the last one to arrive. After he walked in, he sat next to Steve, put his arm around Steve's shoulders and said, "Dear Captain, are you sure you want to kick the best cook among all your friends out of your birthday party group? Who else can you count on? Tony's pre-prepared dishes?"

"At least pre-prepared meals won't embarrass me in front of my friends." Steve said unyieldingly, "Doctor, this joke is too much."

"Really? Worse than before?"

Steve was speechless. Yes, Schiller had played both sides in the fight, causing them to almost get into trouble with the Winter Soldier and the Black Widow at the same time, but compared to his previous big moves, this was indeed a harmless little joke, and even showed a bit of harmonious cuteness.

Steve sighed and said, "Okay, but you have to make it up to me. What dishes are you going to bring?"

"I can't tell you now, otherwise..."

"He prepared goose and duck." Pikachu jumped on the back of the sofa and said, "It seems to be roasted, and then eaten with some kind of jam."

Schiller grabbed Pikachu by the tail and lifted him up. Pikachu squealed in the air and shouted to the others, "You don't know how fragrant he made the first floor of the sanatorium early this morning! I guarantee that you will be so hungry that you want to chew a cow after smelling that smell! But he insisted that the product was a failure and didn't even let me taste it!!!"

"Because it's a real failure." Schiller threw it to Nick next to him before Pikachu's body emitted electric light, and then said, "The oven needs to be improved. It can't bake crispy skin at all, and the meat inside is not juicy enough. The recipe of plum sauce also needs to be adjusted. Only some white people who have lost their taste buds will think this thing is delicious."

"Well, doctor, I'll see you later for this month's psychological evaluation." Steve glanced at Bucky and Natasha, obviously trying to satisfy his curiosity.

"Of course, you are most welcome." Schiller nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Bucky and Natasha and said, "Then you two will have to come later today. The psychological evaluation is more important. After all, I have to live up to the salary of SHIELD."

“Wait, they’re both going too?” Steve said, “Then I’m not going.”

"It's okay, Captain. They are just doing emotional counseling. The relationship between them should have nothing to do with you, right? Or do you want to have some relationship with them?"

Steve shook his head vigorously, sat a little further away, and said to Schiller: "I have no interest in the relationship between any of you. Carter should be awake now, I have to go back to see the child."

As he fled from the room, he heard laughter behind him. But Steve didn't regret his decision at all. He just wanted to stay with his normal wife and children. If he stayed with this group of lunatics, he was afraid that something would go wrong with his genes.

But apparently, life didn't let him off so easily. He had just arrived home and held the soft baby in his arms when he received a call. Ten minutes later, Eric and Charles appeared outside his door.

These two are even more important. When Steve thinks about the grudges between them, he even feels that Bucky and Natasha are nothing. He might as well stay in the Avengers base.

But since they were here for a serious matter, Steve couldn't refuse. He poured a glass of water for each of them, then said, "Sorry, Carter was sensitive to caffeine when she was pregnant, so we didn't prepare any coffee at home. Can I give you some ice cubes?"

"No need to bother." Charles smiled gently at Steve and said, "This time we want to come and see little Mr. Rogers. He's almost one year old, right? I think we can do a mutant ability test."

Steve immediately became a little nervous, and Charles used his ability to soothe his brain waves and said, "Don't be nervous, Captain. So far, little Tommy has no physical defects, and his intelligence and language abilities are normal. Even if his mutant ability is very weak, it will not affect his normal life. If he doesn't actively use it, no one can tell that he is a mutant..."

"I'm not saying I don't want him to be a mutant," Steve said, "but you also said that mutants might have an explosive power outbreak, and his mother is just an ordinary person. I'm really a little worried..."

"This is indeed a problem." Charles said in a gentle voice, "In Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, many young mutants have similar family problems. Some are even so tragic that I have to seal their memories. That's why we came here so early. If we can determine what type of mutant he is, we can take precautions early."

"But there is nothing abnormal about his appearance and behavior. If the test report didn't show that he really had the X gene, I would have thought he was an ordinary person."

"That's actually good news," Eric said. "It proves that his abilities may be outside of his body, like me and Charles."

"But this ability is extremely powerful." Steve said worriedly, "If it's really like you two, I can't imagine how much trouble it will cause when his ability explodes."

"On the contrary, Captain," Charles said, "According to our observations, the stronger the ability and the closer it is to the original power of this world, the better the ability to control one's own power. Otherwise, if so many Alpha-level mutants were to explode, the Earth would have ceased to exist long ago."

Steve nodded. He had naturally thought about this question. If mutants like Charles and Eric released all their abilities when their powers exploded, then humanity would have been extinct long ago. So I'm afraid that's not the case.

Steve was also from that era, and he was sure that he had not heard of any terrorist attacks with similar characteristics during Eric and Charles' childhood. This proved that their ability to explode was not large in scale, and it might not even have been reported in the local news.

The same is true for Wanda, who is more recent. The power of scarlet is one of the strongest. If it really explodes, not only the earth, but also the Milky Way will not exist. But now it is still fine. Her two children are also mutants. Wanda does not seem to be worried, which gives Steve a lot of psychological comfort.

"Well, let's go see little Tommy first." Charles stood up and said. Before entering the nursery, he paused and said, "Actually, it was Franklin who asked us to come here today."

"Franklin? Who's that?" Steve couldn't remember who this name belonged to.

"He may be the most powerful mutant in history." Charles looked at Steve and said, "He can travel through time and reverse the future. He has all the superpowers you can imagine. He is the child of Dr. Reed and Dr. Susan."

Steve seemed to be in a daze. He said, "What did he tell you?"

"Thomas Rogers is a very powerful mutant, and he will explode on his father's 100th birthday."
