"Really?"
Hearing Michael's words, Nina happily jumped up.
"Of course."
"Such a cute little girl has asked for something."
"No one would let a little cutie's wish go unfulfilled, right?"
"Moreover, it's just for a little while, and it won't waste any time."
"Right?"
Towards Nina, Michael had an uncle-like smile, and he immediately began to explain.
"Mhm, mhm!"
"That's right... oh!"
"Just make friends, you know."
"It won't take much time, oh!"
Hearing Michael's words, Nina's two eyes immediately curved into two crescent moons. Her cuteness simply... rushed over!
..."Then come here."
"Come and get to know Big Flower's family."
Michael dismounted from Big Flower, the large male tiger, and waved at Nina.
"Coming!"
Seeing Michael's action, Nina immediately ran over, her heart blooming with joy.
"Can I touch them?"
But when she reached Michael, she reverted to her little lady demeanor. Although her eyes were full of curiosity about Big Flower's family, she still cautiously asked Michael.
"Of course, you can!"
"Big Flower and his family are very well-behaved and very smart."
"They like you too; they won't bite. Just…"
Nina's obedient demeanor naturally made Michael even fonder of her. He could also tell that Magneto, that philandering fellow, had put a lot of effort into his daughter's education. "Hehe."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Nina first smiled at Michael, then reached out to pet the little cubs of Big Flower, the two little tiger cubs. "Hello there."
"What are your names?"
Ultimately, the naturally adorable appearance of the little tiger cubs was more attractive to Nina! As for Michael… he was almost completely dumbfounded. What the heck? When did he become an uncle? If this were a two-dimensional scene, a string of crows would probably be flying over Michael's head, cawing non-stop all the way.
"Forget it."
"Uncle it is, then."
"Ultimately, it's just to make up for the regrets I had when watching the movie back then."
"It's not like I want anything to happen with the little one."
"This is fine too."
Watching Nina squatting on the ground, stroking the fur of the little tiger cubs while using her mutant ability to communicate with them, Michael no longer cared.
Of course, if the little Nina had called Michael 'Brother,' even if it was just for that one word, Michael would probably have taught Nina an extraordinary skill. But for now, Michael only needed to ensure the little Nina had the power to protect herself.
A gain and a loss; sometimes, it might truly be fate… Time did not stop advancing because Michael was temporarily in Poland.
Just as Michael was teaching Nina some simple energy cultivation, circulation, and application, and bringing her some specially enhanced exotic animals every day to 'make friends' with.
In Egypt, above the ruins where Apocalypse was buried, Moira MacTaggert, Agent Charles's old lover, acting under orders from Professor Charles, finally found the underground secret passage for worship, belonging to the so-called 'Terrorists' who were actually fanatical worshippers of En Sabah Nur.
Just as Michael completely cleared his mind and was happily playing with Nina, the plot of Apocalypse began!
