Chapter 806: Decision
While Tony and others are racking their brains to think of ways to ensure Lin Rui’s safety, Anna and Logan are preparing dinner in their cabin in a Mexican town far away from New York.
“Anna, are you sure you’re not going to reply? Robert has made three calls, and he won’t believe anything I say.” Logan asked as he placed a plate of beef on the table and looked at Rogue, who was still in the kitchen.
Rogue had said nothing about the matter regarding the X-Men seeking her help. However, if she doesn’t make a statement then it means that she had refused which is something everyone can see. And Logan, who had already answered three calls, knew how urgent the matter was, and that the injured Mirage Knight seemed to have a special ident.i.ty.
Of course, Logan won’t say much if Rogue is really unwilling. After all, Logan finally found his peaceful life, and he didn’t want this peace to be broken. If Rogue chooses to go back then Logan will definitely go back with her.
“Logan, do you want to go back?” After Logan spoke, Rogue walked out of the kitchen with two plates, and she was finally starting to face the problem.
“Me? I’ve been away from that kind of life for so long…” Logan paused and answered after hearing Rogue’s words.
However, Rogue continued to speak before Logan could finish his words.
“We all hid here to get away from that life, but that life is etched in my mind. Logan, have you missed anything over the years?” Rogue asked softly, looking into Logan’s eyes as she put down two plates of sliced bread.
Logan was stunned even longer by Rogue’s question. Yeah, they’re hiding out here to get away from their old lives. But is it true that they have not missed the life they lived so many years ago? No! In fact, Logan often sleeps at night dreaming about what happened. No matter how peaceful his life was when he opened his eyes, all he could think about were the battles and the big events related to Mutants.
Seeing Logan’s silence and expression, Rogue could already guess what he was thinking. In fact, Rogue is not the same. While Rogue doesn’t have as much experience as Logan, Logan has lived through Mutants’ events for generations. However, as a Mutant who also partic.i.p.ated in the big events of Mutants, how could she really forget her past experience?
“Miss? Perhaps we should call it nostalgia, because we may not have really separated from the past life.” Logan was stunned for a moment before he replied.
“Also, if we really wanted to completely break away from our past, we wouldn’t have chosen to live here,” Rogue spoke with a small smirk on her face as she heard Logan’s answer.
“What about your decision? Do you want to go back? You know, once we go back, we may not know when we’ll be back.” Hearing this, Logan also roughly guessed the decision in Rogue’s heart.
Huh~
“Of course, I know that when we go back this time, it won’t be so simple to just help save a person, but we have been living like this for so many years, and it’s time to change it.” Sitting down at the table, Rogue stares at the dinner table and speaks quietly.
“Huh? Could it be that boy Bourne and you…” The look in Logan’s eyes changed and he said as if he could hear something else in her tone.
When Logan mentioned Bourne, there was a slight fluctuation in Rogue’s calm eyes. Sure enough, under the pursuit of such a simple person for many years, it is impossible for Rogue to be completely unmoved. However, they live in two different worlds, and Rogue didn’t want to put Bourne in harm’s way
“If we go back this time, we will probably be involved in another big event. I have a hunch that maybe this event would be a turning point that can completely change the status quo of Mutants. So, I may come back for good after this incident is over…” Rogue said with a wandering gaze as she picked up a piece of bread with her hand.
Although Rogue didn’t answer Iceman’s call, she still knew a lot about what was going on in the world right now. Judging from the previous incidents, it seems that the X-Men and Mutant Brotherhood, which have been silent for a long time, have begun to take the stage again. Therefore, even if she and the others like her choose not to take action this time, they will inevitably become involved in the future.
“Is that so? Iceman also told me a little bit about it. But I don’t care much about them. After all, I have tried so many times before, and I have been disappointed every time. Fortunately, I have lost a lot of memories, or there would have been a lot of disappointment.” Logan said lightly after hearing Rogue’s words.
For Rogan, the big event of Mutants has happened several times, and each time it is a big event that almost overturned the existence of the entire Mutants on Earth. But what about now? The current situation of the Mutants is indeed much better than it was a few decades ago, but in that way, it is still far from what Professor Charles has been fighting for.
“The memories you lost are not necessarily all bad. Perhaps, you used to have a lot of happy times. And if you get a chance this time, you can try again to get your memories back. After all, the world is changing so fast these days, and we don’t even have smartphones.” Rogue smiles as Logan mentions his lost memory.
“Haha, I don’t struggle with my old memories anymore. But you’re definitely going back.” Logan said with a smile as he munched on beef.
“Don’t you want to go back? We see the green mountains and clear water in the small town every day, we should go back to see the tall buildings in the big city. After all, we used to protect those cities.” In the face of Logan’s jokes, Rogue did not deny the answer.
“Yeah, protect. After so many years, how many people in this world still understand the meaning of the word protect?”
“By the way, the injured guy who needs help this time seems to be someone from an organization called League of Defenders.”
“Really? I don’t remember hearing about them. But, with your help, aren’t they really worried about you sucking him dry without noticing?”
“Logan, you want to try?”
“Haha! Just kidding!”
