"Raven, why are You here? And dressed like Moira?"
Samuel's voice suddenly rang out, and the two were instantly shocked and panicked.
There's no need to say why Raven was panicking, and as for Moira MacTaggert, her first reaction was the embarrassment of Samuel knowing the truth.
It clearly had nothing to do with her, yet because Raven turned into her appearance, she was pulled into this awkward and absurd love triangle.
Moira MacTaggert glared at Raven covertly, just as she was about to find an excuse to cover up, an arm wrapped around her.
Then her vision went black, and she couldn't speak her words.
"Mmm --"
She was stunned!
Moira MacTaggert was completely stunned!
The excuses she had prepared were instantly thrown out of her mind, and she couldn't recall them no matter how hard she tried.
Looking at Moira MacTaggert's blank and dazed expression, Samuel pretended to be confused and asked, "What's wrong?"
Moira MacTaggert shook her head and subconsciously looked at Raven.
Raven's mood was very complicated!
It's me!
I am Your 'Moira MacTaggert'!
But she couldn't say it, couldn't be honest, because compared to the depression of being mistaken for someone else, what she feared more now was actually Samuel's disgust after knowing the truth.
She knew very well that no matter whose appearance she took, no matter if her 'original' appearance after shedding the blue was beautiful or not, that was not her true appearance.
Her true appearance, even Charles who adopted her from a young age couldn't truly accept, let alone Samuel who had a beauty like White Queen by his side?
She was afraid Samuel would dislike her.
Very afraid.
Extremely afraid.
So even though Samuel mistook the real Moira MacTaggert for herself, even though they might have to part ways in the near future, she didn't want Samuel to know the truth, and didn't want to ruin his good impression of 'herself'.
Taking a deep breath, Raven pretended to be displeased and said, "It's not because You two are having a tryst here? I can only turn into Moira's appearance and cover for her outside."
Moira MacTaggert took a deep look at Raven and continued, "Both U.S. and Soviet sides have gathered warships in the Cuba waters. Black King may take action and trigger a nuclear war between the two sides."
Turning her head, she looked at Samuel and said with a complicated expression, "Raven came to notify us to prepare for action. You... You go wash up, we have to get there as soon as possible."
Samuel nodded normally and turned to wash up obediently.
Watching Samuel leave, the two looked at each other, each having something they wanted to say, but not knowing what to say, so they could only look at each other in silence.
After a long while, Samuel finished getting ready, took the two of them, and directly Teleported to the Xavier Estate.
In the estate, the 'First Generation X-Men' stood near the Blackbird jet wearing neat black and yellow uniforms, already prepared and ready to go.
Seeing Samuel appear with Moira MacTaggert and Raven, everyone wasn't too surprised. Although they didn't know where Raven had gone before, it was normal for Samuel to Teleport and bring her back with him.
However, Raven was a bit surprised to see 'Beast' with blue fur.
"Hank, You..."
"My research failed, but... it also made me recognize my true self," Hank McCoy said with deep emotion and frankness.
Hank McCoy had previously tried to use Raven's genes to develop a serum that could restore their physical appearance to normal, but unfortunately, it ultimately failed.
Incidentally, because Raven left the estate every few days, their relationship wasn't as close as it was in the movie.
Apart from Charles, who adopted her and took care of her like a sister, Raven's relationship with the others was largely closer than colleagues and friends, but only limited to that.
The internal space of the Blackbird jet was quite large. Everyone sat facing each other, fastened their seat belts, and the plane quickly took off, heading towards the Cuba waters.
Samuel naturally sat with Moira MacTaggert, occasionally whispering in her ear and chatting quietly.
Moira MacTaggert showed more or less some awkwardness and resistance, but she had to respond to Samuel's words.
This looked a bit different in the eyes of others, giving the impression that Moira MacTaggert was shy about being too close to Samuel in front of people.
"You... You two are together?" Seeing this, Charles Xavier smiled and teased, asking a question.
Samuel didn't speak, just looked at Moira MacTaggert with a smile.
Moira MacTaggert hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping, and finally shook her head, pretending to be calm.
In Raven's plan, the relationship between 'Moira MacTaggert' and Samuel was to be kept secret, so even if she denied it, Samuel wouldn't suspect her, and it wouldn't affect the original plan.
Charles Xavier smiled and didn't tease anymore. After all, Moira's private life was her own business. As of now, everyone's relationship was just colleagues and friends, and it wasn't appropriate to ask too many personal questions.
Cuba waters.
The U.S. and Soviet warships were anchored within their respective coastlines, facing each other, nervously on guard against the other side suddenly opening fire or entering the Cordon.
Speaking of the Cordon, a fishing boat appeared from nowhere and was rapidly approaching the U.S.Cordon.
During such a sensitive period, let alone a fishing boat, even a fly flying over would be provoking their tense nerves.
The Soviet side questioned the identity of the fishing boat and ordered them to retreat, but received no response.
There were no living people left on the fishing boat; everyone had been killed by Red Devil.
But the U.S. side didn't know that. Seeing the fishing boat continue to approach without responding, they finally prepared to give the order.
Just then, a missile was suddenly launched from a Soviet warship, directly destroying the fishing boat.
Seeing this, the U.S. side immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If the fishing boat had continued to advance and the U.S. side had ordered an attack, war would inevitably have broken out because of it.
Although they didn't know why the other side suddenly bombed the fishing boat, and they didn't know if this fishing boat was sent by the other side, this action temporarily avoided the outbreak of war.
"Whew..."
High in the sky, deep within the clouds, Charles Xavier in the Blackbird jet let out a breath and lowered his finger.
Just now, he controlled the Soviet warship to use missiles to destroy the fishing boat that had no living people left, temporarily preventing the outbreak of war.
"Banshee, it's Your turn!"
Charles Xavier raised his hand again and used his Mind Manipulation Ability to contact Banshee, who had already entered the sea ahead of time.
Underwater, Banshee forcefully emitted sound waves. Not long after, he received a response to the sound waves and located the submarine hidden at the bottom of the sea.
Black King's submarine.
Charles Xavier, who received the location simultaneously, notified Erik Lehnsherr.
The plane descended rapidly. Erik Lehnsherr, standing on the landing gear of the plane, unleashed his ability towards the submarine's location and roared softly.
In an instant, the sea surface broke open, and a submarine slowly emerged.
