Chapter 14: Help (1/2)


    And that mutant


    was talking about Logan?


    Mike looked at Raven and said, How do you know? Is it a phantom?


    Hes one of yours? Wait! Mike frowned and said, Dont say this is your territory?


    Otherwise, why would Raven be here?


    Raven propped her chin up and gazed at Mike, her eyes tracing the arc of Mikes face in the darkness.


    Under the sharp ck short hair, a pair of blue eyes is a bit less sharp than before, but you can still see the coldness buried deep in the eyes, a short stubble hanging on a handsome face


    The corners of Ravens mouth are slightly hooked.


    It seems to be more charming than in the past.


    This is the Mike who became a father?


    Raven looked at Mikes slightly frowning brow, smiled lightly, and said, Youre still as sharp as ever.


    The Hellfire Club was right here, and there was no ce like it.


    Yes, this is our territory and Phantom is our man, and that ind of Strykers, were looking for it.


    Phantom had joined the Hellfire Club since he quit Strykers X-Squad and came here shortly after.


    For those captured mutants?


    Hearing Mike mention it, Ravens eyes went cold as she said, Yes!


    Mike let out a deep breath and said, You guys go find Remy Lebo, he should agree.


    Remy Lebo  Raven said helplessly, He has some problems with the club, so he refuses to cooperate, and he runs away when he sees our people.


    And the Phantom?


    Dont worry, the phantom wont be seen by him. Raven spoke up and said, Phantom said there was a new, suspected kindred spirit with the target, and went to Remy Lebo for that ind thing, and asked me toe over and follow up, not expecting it to be you.


    Raven looked at Mike with a smile and arched her eyebrows.


    Mike, however, said warily, Dont smile at me like that, nothing good is going toe of it.


    Ehhh, Im embarrassed to say that. Ravenughed more and more happily, and then did not wait for Mike to speak, then quickly said: After finding that ind, give us the location.


    This  phantom will be able to do it, right?


    Eh ah, this is not a precaution! In my eyes, you are the most reliable.


    Mike with a speechless face, said: And really thank you for praising me so much.


    Youre wee. Raven smiled like a cat that had stolen a fish, then said, Tell me, how have you been these three years? And, how did you get involved with Stryker?


    Its been pretty good. Mike briefly carried over, and then told Raven what happened on the farm.


    Hearing that Mikes house was smashed, Ravenughed heartlessly with tearsing out of her eyes.


    Just then, rk, who had been quietly watching the two, turned his head and said, Pretty Auntie, do you and my dad know each other?


    Pretty Auntie?


    Raven smiled happily, pinched rks little face, and said, Yeah.


    With a twinkle in her eye, she said, Little one, did your daddy find you a mommy?


    No! rk shook his head.


    The corners of Ravens mouth lifted.


    rk fluttered his eyes and said, Do you want to be my mommy?


    The corner of Mikes mouth twitched as he held rks head down and said, Watch the show.


    When Raven wanted to say something to rk, Mike turned his head and said, You say one more word, and I wont help if Im busy.


    Raven mischievously stretched out two fingers, pulled them past her mouth, and closed her mouth tightly.


    Suddenly, Ravens face changed and she said, The phantom is dead.


    Mike looked to Raven.


    Raven exined, Died in the alley behind Remy Lebo, spine crushed.


    Wheres Logan?


    Mike asked.


    Hes gone with Remy Lebo. Raven looked at Mike and said, Its up to you now, let us know when you find the ind.


    Mike frowned and said, Are you going to the ind too?


    Raven hesitated and said, Go.
