"Adam, how is work at League of Heroes? Are you getting along well with your colleagues?"
In the living room, the family was eating fruit and watching TV after dinner.
Elena, with her big belly, was asking about Adam's recent situation at League of Heroes.
Six months ago, after Oleg's diligent efforts, Elena finally became pregnant with their child, and Adam also told Oleg and Elena at that time that he had started working for League of Heroes.
Oleg and Elena were ordinary people, and he was worried they would overthink things, so he didn't tell them his true circumstances.
They now thought he was an ordinary technician at League of Heroes, with a decent salary and no danger.
"It's pretty good. My colleagues are all very nice, and the work is easy. Because of Professor, my superiors also take good care of me."
Adam replied with a smile, peeling an apple.
Oleg, who was beside him, heard this and teased:
"You're almost twenty. Have you found a girlfriend at the company?
I heard your company has many girls around your age. If you don't know how to talk to girls, I can teach you a few tricks."
"What are you talking about?"
Elena pinched Oleg's thigh, subtly glanced at her daughter Wanda, then said to Adam:
"Don't listen to him. Of course, you should look for a girlfriend, but it's best to find someone you know well and understand. Colleagues at the company might seem nice during work hours, but you never know what they're like after hours.
Just like Mary at our company, she usually wears glasses and looks very quiet, but she's had seven or eight boyfriends and goes to bars every night until midnight.
I think if you're going to look, find someone a bit younger than you and more innocent."
Wanda, who was sitting there with her chin propped up, eyes fixed on the TV, but ears perked up high, secretly gave her mother Elena a thumbs-up.
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you."
Adam helplessly put the peeled apple into Elena's hand.
"Big Brother needs to pursue a girlfriend? If he wanted to, beautiful girls could line up from here to Paris."
Quicksilver, across from him, secretly shook his head. Seeing Adam's embarrassment, he quickly changed the subject:
"Mom, I forgot to tell you, Wanda and I are transferring to a nearby high school after the new semester."
"Transferring to a nearby high school? Is that possible?"
Elena's eyes immediately lit up.
Of course, she hoped Wanda and Pietro could attend a normal high school, and then get into a really good university.
But their Mutant identity meant they could only attend Mutant School, like Adam, who went to League of Heroes after graduation, following an already predetermined future.
"It's fine now, Mutants are already accepted by the public," Adam explained with a smile.
He also knew about this matter, as it was something he had discussed with Professor X a long time ago.
Mutant students, after fully controlling their abilities, could choose to attend schools near their homes, then take university entrance exams like normal children, and pursue their ideal careers.
Because of the existence of League of Heroes, people no longer feared or discriminated against those with special abilities and could treat them with a normal mindset.
The family chatted and laughed, and soon it was bedtime.
After Oleg helped Elena return to their room first, Quicksilver leaned in front of Adam and proudly said:
"Big Brother, Wanda and I have already signed up to be part-time intern Superheroes for League of Heroes. Soon, I'll also be a famous Superhero like you. I've already thought of my title—Quicksilver!"
"It seems I need to make a trip to Wakanda."
Hearing that Quicksilver and Wanda were going to be part-time Superheroes, Adam immediately had an idea.
He didn't object to Quicksilver and Wanda becoming Superheroes. Everyone's life should be decided by themselves, and even family shouldn't forcibly interfere.
Moreover, part-time intern Superheroes usually deal with minor, non-dangerous incidents that happen nearby and don't involve combat.
For example, tasks like rescuing people from Water, people jumping from buildings, or saving people from Fire, assisting the Police in rescue operations.
However, just in case, he felt it was necessary to add another layer of insurance.
Unlike at Mutant School, when performing missions outside, who knew what unexpected situations might arise? If something really happened, it would be too late to regret.
The key is that this is the Marvel Universe; the Water is very deep, and even if he had the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, he might not be able to bring them back if they truly died.
Quicksilver's speed was quite fast, but his defense was too low; he could easily be taken out by hot weapons if he wasn't careful.
As for Wanda, without the Mind Stone's development, although she had learned a lot of magic from him, she didn't have much actual combat experience.
Dealing with classmates at school who also lacked combat experience was naturally easy for her.
But if they were to encounter experienced and well-coordinated enemies, even if the opponents were ordinary people, they could still fall into a trap.
Therefore, necessary defensive measures were definitely required.
In his opinion, Black Panther's battle suit from Wakanda was excellent. Made of Vibranium, it rendered most hot weapons ineffective.
Its unique nanotechnology allowed for easy retraction and deployment, so there was no need to worry about putting it on or taking it off.
It also had high-tech positioning and a distress signal function. If there was danger, he could receive a notification immediately and then teleport to rescue them.
"You two chat. A friend is looking for me, I'm going back to my room."
Wanda, over there, raised her phone, then greeted Quicksilver and Adam before returning to her room.
Adam was stunned by this and couldn't help but ask Quicksilver:
"Wanda... did something happen to her at school?"
Girls change a lot as they grow up; a change in appearance is understandable, but such a big change in personality likely means something happened.
"No, but she has indeed changed a lot in the past six months. She's become much quieter, doesn't tease classmates anymore, and her voice isn't loud and shouting.
Now, many boys at school are pursuing her. People send her flowers every day, and some even confess publicly."
Quicksilver replied, stroking his chin.
Adam raised an eyebrow:
"So, does that mean she has a boyfriend?"
He thought of Wanda wanting to return to her room just now, saying a friend wanted to chat. This situation often sounded like a boyfriend.
Quicksilver shook his head, noncommittally:
"I wouldn't know about that. She never tells me these things.
But she probably doesn't, if she did, I couldn't possibly not know, unless it's someone not from school.
Now that you mention it, she often leaves school alone to go out on weekends, and she's unwilling to let me come along."
"What? Why didn't you tell me? Your sister is so innocent; what if she gets tricked by someone outside?!"
Adam's eyes suddenly widened, and his powerful aura almost pressed Quicksilver directly onto the sofa.
"Wanda... Innocent?"
Quicksilver barely managed to lift his head, his face full of question marks.
He knew perfectly well how cunning Wanda was. Ever since she learned many strange magic from Adam, which student at school hadn't been pranked by Wanda?
It was only in the past six months that she suddenly became quiet, and her reputation transformed from a crazy girl to a goddess.
But he always felt that it was probably not her true nature; Wanda was still fundamentally a crazy girl.
At the same time, in Wanda's room, she was replying to a message:
"Sister Susan, it's very effective! The Strategy progress is ten percent. After Christmas, I'll go to you on the weekend to continue learning, yay!"
