More than a month later, on Halloween Eve in 2008.

Charles Francis Xavier opened his eyes, and the sunlight outside the window shone through the window screen on his face, making it difficult for the professor to fall asleep again.

Besides, the elderly have less awareness.

He sat up from the bed, went to wash with his cane, went to the bathroom, then walked to the closet, and chose a set of clothes for himself.

The weather in New York has been a bit cold recently, so the professor has added a scarf to himself.

The professor has a very good figure. Although he has been sitting in a wheelchair for many years, it is due to his healthy living habits that have enabled him to maintain a very good physical fitness in his old age.

He was wearing a blue-gray suit and a loose shirt, with a scarf hanging around his neck and hanging down on both sides of his body.

Adding a black and exquisitely shaped cane makes this bald old man have a temperament.

Speaking of which, when the professor was young, he was a real slut.

Although his career in hunting for beauty was repeatedly interrupted by the magic-shaped girl Riven who was with him at that time, there were many little fans when the professor was in school.

The professor walked out of the room with his cane. He stood at the door of the next house. As he had done in the past half month, he reached out and knocked on the door. He said:

"Eric, have you got up?"

"No! Don't bother me!"

A slightly irritable voice came from the room, making the professor unable to help but show a helpless expression.

He stood at the door and continued to knock on the door while saying:

"Get up quickly and stop sleeping. Your children are going to see you later."

"I told them not to come."

The sound in the house sounded again:

"I'm in a bad mood and don't want to see them... Hell, Charles! I've lived in a nursing home, can't you let me purify for a while?"

"Okay, okay."

Professor Charles was leaning on a cane. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, shouting to the people in the house:

"Then you have to get up and have breakfast at least, right? Look at the time, Raven is coming soon."

The people in the house stopped talking, and after a moment, the sound of rustling clothes sounded, and then the door opened, revealing the cold face of Magneto Eric.

He was transferred from the Isle Island Prison half a month ago.

It was approved by Merlin himself that it was very immoral to confine an incapacitated old man in a cell.

And he has been in an isolated island prison for many years.

So Merlin sent him to the Green Garden Nursing Home in New York, of course, not completely free.

Eric had a monitor on his ankle, so he could not leave the nursing home. There were several agents in the nursing home who were specifically responsible for the detention of Magneto.

Eric Lansheer was quite satisfied with the transfer of imprisonment at first. After all, serving a sentence in a nursing home is much more comfortable than serving a sentence in a prison.

But the day after he moved here, he had a new neighbor.

Professor Charles, who had just completed the soul cutting operation, was also sent here by Merlin. I don’t know if it was because of the evil taste, Merlin specially arranged them together.

After fighting each other for a lifetime, this pair of old friends began their retirement career in this new way.

They are all ordinary people now and they are incapable of their ability.

They are all old men, and they can't even fight with their fists.

"Let's go and have a meal."

The professor smiled at his old friend and he patted Eric on the shoulder.

The latter snorted, ignored him, and walked out by himself.

In addition to his terrifying background as Magneto, he is also a proud old man.

Magneto was wearing a black coat, a gray sweater inside, an octagonal hat on his head, his pale hair was neatly combed, and he was also leaning on a cane.

The two old men walked slowly while talking.

Most of the professors are saying that Magneto is listening and occasionally refutes, but most of the time, he is very silent.

Years of imprisonment have made Magneto get used to this taciturn.

More than ten minutes later, the old friend sat in the garden of the Green Garden Nursing Home playing chess.

This nursing home is almost one of the best nursing homes in New York, with many young and beautiful nurses helping the elderly live and live.

But neither Professor X nor Magneto needed their help, nor did they dare to ask them to help... Once a young girl appears in their room, it will cause very bad consequences.

There is a woman who can't afford to offend both of them. She has been taking care of them for the past half month and is also monitoring them.

"You've made the wrong move!"

Eric held a cane in one hand and picked up the queen's chess with the other, and said proudly to Charles, who was sitting opposite him:

"This will give you a tragic failure!"

"Yeah?"

The professor didn't agree. He watched his old friend move the queen's chess. After making a move, a smile flashed across the professor's gentle face.

He calmly pulled another chess piece, and the situation on the chessboard was immediately subverted.

“check!”

The professor said softly.

Magneto Eric's smug expression suddenly froze. He widened his eyes and looked at the chessboard in front of him.

After several minutes, he glared at his old friend, then threw the chess piece in his hand on the board, he said:

“It’s not interesting…”

"You are still the same as before, Eric, and you are in a hurry to do anything."

The professor slowly said while setting up the chessboard again:

"You can clearly find the trap just now, but your desire for victory blinds your eyes. You are willing to take risks, just like when we were young, you have not changed at all."

"Are you mocking me? Charles."

Eric leaned on a cane and said coldly:

"A man who was almost controlled to destroy the world, and had the face to say to me... I heard you had a fight with them on the moon? Almost killed Merlin with a magnetic field?"

"That's the past."

The professor obviously didn't want to recall the time he was manipulated by the mad attack, but Eric refused to give in.

The stubborn old man lit the cane in his hand on the ground a few times, and he said dissatisfiedly:

"You have fought with me for so many years, and I thought you were firm enough, but look at you, Charles!"

"A split personality defeats you. You are too weak, too weaker than when you were younger. You really disappointed me."

"Eric!"

The professor said softly:

"Stop talking about those, can you play chess well?"

"snort."

Magneto snorted, but did not continue to talk about these things. He picked up a piece again and moved it to a certain position on the board. He stared at the board and said:

"But you are still alive... You can still live after going through such a terrible thing. Maybe I should thank Merlin and his friends."

"So, you're actually glad that I saved my life, right?"

The professor laughed, his eyes full of the tenderness of sincere friendship, he said:

"Are you feeling guilty? Eric, the mad attack was born because of you. Are you using this method and saying sorry to me?"

"You think beautifully!"

Magneto glared at the professor and said in a cold tone:

"A coward who can be defeated by himself has the face to make me apologize?"

"If you hadn't just finished the surgery, I would have beaten you with a cane! As the leader of the mutant world, you are so shameful! It's so embarrassing!"

"Okay, let it be yours."

The professor happily moved the chess pieces, he said:

"I know you care about me. Although I can no longer sense your thinking, I can feel... Well, Riven is here."

The next moment, the two old men looked up and saw a beautiful woman wearing a long black dress, beautiful long hair, sunglasses, and scarf walking into the garden with two lunch boxes.

That's Raven...

Demonic girl.

She was also released. Of course, she took the initiative to receive the leech virus injection in order to take care of these two old men who did not let her worry.

She would rather lose her strength.

"Did you take medicine on time today?"

Ruiwen sat next to the two old men. She took out the lunch box and distributed the prepared dishes to them. While watching the two old men eat, she asked:

"Especially you, Eric, take medicine for asthma every day."

"I'm not a child."

Eric glared at Riven, and he said as he rolled the pasta up and put it in his mouth:

"You still have a job, what's the point of running here every day?"

“It’s the same whether I go to work or not.”

Raven, who looks only in her 20s, took out a lady's cigarette from her pocket, lit it, and sprayed the smoke, she said:

"Anyway, it was arranged by Merlin, just to prevent me from running around...that petty guy."

"To understand him, Riven."

The professor held the spoon and stirred the fragrant soup, and he said to Raven:

"Merlin also had no choice but to have a high reputation among mutants. You have provoked many enemies because of your maverickness in the past. Once someone knows that you have lost your ability, many people will come to seek revenge."

"Yes."

Eric also said with concern:

"Charles and I are both ordinary people. We can't even beat the street gangsters now..."

"We can't protect you anymore. You have to protect yourself. To be honest, I would rather you stay in an isolated prison than you show up like this now..."

"At least no one will harm you."

"I'm much better than you two, two old men who always think too much."

Ruiwen snorted, and she said:

"I have lost my ability, but my fighting skills are still there. I can protect myself, so don't think about it... I'll take good care of myself here."

The magic girl stretched out her hands and stroked Charles and Eric's cheeks, and she whispered:

"Oh, look at you, you are all old..."

"But you're still young, Riven."

Professor Charles smiled and said:

"Don't waste time on both of us, you can still enjoy your life, and maybe you can still meet the man you like."

"I've met it long ago."

Ruiwen snatched out the cigarette butts and she whispered:

"And two..."

"I am much luckier than ordinary women, and I no longer ask for anything."

The atmosphere between the three people became quiet at this moment. Under the warm sunlight, the three relationships were very complicated. Old friends who could not describe clearly in ten thousand words sat in the garden, eating while talking about the past.

So beautiful...

It's so beautiful that people can't bear to disturb you.

But there are always bad guys.

For example, now, after the two old men finished eating, a slightly noisy sound rang outside the garden:

"Old man! I'm here to see you!"

Hearing this sound, Magneto's expression immediately became gloomy.

A moment later, Pitro and Wanda, dressed in denim, walked in, and Lorna followed behind them.

Outside the garden, Merlin was talking to Shuijing, and they did not disturb the reunion of a family with complex relationships.

"Didn't you tell you not to come?"

Eric said to Pitro and Wanda with a gloomy face:

"You shouldn't have something to do with me. You have your own life to go. The closer you get to me, the more trouble I have, my problems will come to you..."

"Why are you so disobedient!"

"Then can we really leave our father in the nursing home and ignore it?"

Kuaiyin is a young man. He confronts his old father. He said to Magneto:

"Maybe you are a bastard who abandons your wife and children, but we are not."

"Petro!"

Wanda glared at his younger brother fiercely. Pitro was still very afraid of his sister. He stood aside and stopped talking, but Magneto's expression also became a little sad.

Perhaps because he lost his strength, he became a real old man, and once a person grows old, he will become gentle and sensitive.

"Pitro, Eric had his own difficulties back then..."

Professor Charles tried to smooth things over, but was interrupted by Magneto's hand. He raised his head and said to Wanda and Pitro:

"I was wrong with what happened back then..."

"I am a doomed person. When I was young, I pursued extreme hatred too much. I caused a lot of trouble. I tried to protect my loved ones, but every time I would hurt the people I cherished."

He said to Wanda:

"I put you in Sokovia, I hope you won't be involved in my troubles. I'm always in trouble. I lost Anya and I don't want to lose more."

"Including you, Lorna."

Eric turned his head and looked at his little daughter, Lorna turned her head and refused to look at him.

Although she had already learned about her life experience from Wanda, Lorna lived with Merlin for so many years, and she had no place in Magneto in her memory.

For her, it was difficult to admit that she had a father.

After all, she was heartbroken by her adopted parents.

Seeing Magneto trying to reach out to touch her hair, Lorna immediately took a step back.

This action made Eric's stretched out hand stop.

"well..."

Looking at Lorna's expression of looking at strangers, Magneto withdrew his hand lonely, and he leaned on his cane and whispered:

"It's all my own fault...you can go, stop seeing me."

“What has been gone.”

Wanda squatted down, she reached out and held Magneto's cold fingers.

She looked at her old father, who lost his magnetic body after becoming an ordinary person, and Magneto had no more time left.

"What matters is now and the future..."

"Father, you still have time, and Lorna also has time... If you feel you owe her, then maybe you should use the remaining time to make up for her."

Wanda waved to Lorna, and the green-haired girl was hesitant. She looked back at Merlin outside the garden, who put her hands in her pockets and nodded to Lorna.

She walked forward reluctantly, and she looked at Magneto.

Eric's eyes were a little wet, this was the expression that Magneto, who had been tough all his life, had almost never shown.

"Wanda is right, Eric, you still have time..."

Professor Charles also stood up, holding Lorna's hand in one hand, then stretched out his hand to his old friend, who gritted his teeth and allowed Charles to put his hand on the back of Lorna's hand.

The familiar fluctuation of magnetic force made Magneto take a deep breath. He wiped his eyes and said to Lorna:

"I know you hate me, girl, but I know you have people who want to protect."

"Do you desire strength? Are you willing to learn from me to use your strength? If you want, I will teach you that we still have time..."

“It may not be too much though.”

Magneto is worthy of being Magneto, and Lorna's desire can be seen at a glance.

Lorna raised her head and looked at Magneto's power. She frowned and thought for a few seconds, then nodded to Magneto.

"Well, I want to learn..."
