Lorna was a little lost in thought, while Qinuo appeared calm, looking at the huge tornado.
"Has her ability awakened again? But it's a bit too much."
Mutants' abilities can awaken again.
This includes strong stimulation, physical or mental training, environmental factors, or the injection of enhancement serums and Apocalypse's potential development, all of which are possible.
Lorna's situation seems to be emotional stimulation.
Qinuo manipulated the biokinetic field to envelop the area; from the outside, everything looked calm and peaceful, as they couldn't be disturbed at this moment.

Seaside Villa.
"Sir, a massive magnetic field change has been detected in the southeast direction, distance… It's nothing, Sir."
Tony flinched in fright, his face dark.
"Jarvis, I'm going to format you!"
Pepper sat up from the bed, asking with some concern:
"That direction is where Qinuo and Lorna left, and there's a magnetic field change. Will something happen?"
"Nothing will happen with Qinuo around. If something truly needed me, a portal would have already appeared in front of me. That last one doesn't count. Let's continue."
Tony pulled Pepper back onto the bed.

S.H.I.E.L.D.
Alarms blared throughout the entire agency.
"Magnetic field change detected near New York… disappeared?"
The monitoring personnel were confused.
"A magnetic field change, is it Magneto?"
Director Fury frowned.
"No, intelligence shows Magneto is leading the Mutants in Washington."
The monitoring personnel brought up the location that had triggered the alarm, but there was no abnormality.
Director Fury's eyes were grave; he didn't believe it was a machine problem. There had to be an anomaly.
"Send Rumlow and his team to investigate."
"Director, wait a moment. This location is near Stark's Villa. We can check the nearby surveillance footage."
Coulson said.
Director Fury nodded.
The monitoring personnel quickly retrieved the video.
Soon, Director Fury looked at the person appearing in the video with a grim expression.
The Devil, Qinuo.
He took Captain America and Director Carter.
The former was not irreplaceable, but the latter knew a lot of S.H.I.E.L.D. intelligence, which made him constantly change the database and important information during this period.
The only existence that left him helpless.
"Alarm canceled, everything back to operational status."
Director Fury rubbed his temples, saying helplessly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their posts to continue working.
Director Fury looked at Qinuo's figure on the screen, lost in thought.

Washington.
Magneto suddenly looked into the distance.
"Die, Magneto!"
The tattooed man, seeing Magneto in a daze, instantly appeared behind Magneto.
He punched him in the back of the head.
"That hurts, you bastard!"
Logan blocked the punch with his chest, revealing a large hole and metallic ribs.
His eyes glinted fiercely, and his sharp steel claws slashed across.
Thud!
The tattooed man clutched his broken arm and retreated to the back.
"You human lackeys, traitors to the Mutants!"
"Idiot!"
Logan rolled his eyes, looking at Magneto, who was still dazed.
"What are you doing? This is a battlefield!"
"Sorry…"
Magneto came back to his senses. That magnetic field felt like Lorna. He was a bit anxious and had no time to fight slowly.
"Everyone retreat!"
At Magneto's command, the Brotherhood all tacitly stopped fighting and retreated.
The X-Men and the Mutants who joined later were a bit slow, but they also retreated.
Some asked unwillingly, "Why are we retreating? We clearly have the upper hand. In ten more minutes, we can defeat them."
The Brotherhood chuckled, "You think we're retreating because of them? You're thinking too much."
After confirming that all their Mutants had retreated.
Magneto gently raised his hand, and the sky became overcast with dark clouds. Everyone looked up, their faces filled with terror.
Those weren't dark clouds, but countless metals gathered together, forming a weapon of mass destruction.
Magneto looked down mercilessly at the enemies below.
"You have three seconds. Those who don't surrender will bear the consequences."
"One."
"Wait, we surrender!"
The enemies knelt one after another; not everyone had the courage to face Death.
The battlefield was silent, only Magneto's cold voice echoed.
He slowly lowered his hand, and the metallic dark clouds dispersed.
After letting others clean up the mess, he silently dialed a number.

Qinuo flew towards New York, holding the unconscious Lorna.
Behind him, the original small hill and the adjacent road had vanished without a trace, the ground perfectly smooth, as if meticulously polished.
Although Lorna's ability had grown stronger again, she seemed to have fainted due to insufficient mental strength. It definitely had nothing to do with Qinuo.
Soon, they arrived at the employee apartment.
Qinuo entered through the balcony, came to the bedroom, gently laid her down, took off her shoes and socks, and softly covered her with a blanket.
Ring, ring.
Qinuo picked up Lorna's phone.
Caller ID:
Bastard Father.
Lao Wan.
Qinuo looked at Lorna, who was still sleeping, answered the phone, and put it on speaker mode.
Lao Wan's uneasy voice came through.
"Lorna, I didn't mean to disturb you. I just wanted to ask if you're okay. I sensed your magnetic field."
"…"
"It's okay if you don't speak. If you need me to come back, tap the phone. If not, just hang up."
"Lao Wan, it's me. Lorna is sleeping."
Qinuo said.
"…Wang?"
Magneto's face darkened. Lorna was sleeping, but Qinuo answered the phone, which made him think of many things.
If it weren't for the Devil contract, he would have wanted to kill someone right now.
"Lorna, what happened to her?"
"She's fine. She just re-awakened her ability, and now her mental strength is overdrawn, so she's resting."
"…Wang, Lorna is still young."
"No, I didn't do anything. I just brought her back to rest."
Qinuo felt a bit guilty; his actions had contributed to her current state.
"I understand, Wang. If you can, please delete the call log after hanging up. Lorna doesn't like me disturbing her."
Magneto, who was stern and ruthless in front of outsiders, was now just a guilt-ridden old father.
Lorna's eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Lorna has you saved as 'Bastard Father' in her contacts, and she's never blacklisted you."
Qinuo didn't offer his own opinion, just stated the facts.
"Bastard Father… what an apt name." Magneto's eyes were a little red.
"After your mission is over, stay in Devil Mansion and learn more from Charles. He's very good with children."
Qinuo said.
"Thank you, Wang."
"Mm, I won't chat anymore. I should go too."
Qinuo hung up the phone, looked at Lorna, who still showed no signs of waking up, and left a can of youth serum on the bedside table.
"youth Original Liquid. It's better for girls to use good things. Also, you really smell good."
After speaking, Qinuo disappeared from the room.
Silence returned to the room.
Lorna slowly opened her eyes, picked up the phone beside her, and looked at the call log, her gaze complex.
"Bastard…"
She put down the phone and then picked up the youth Original Liquid from the bedside table.
Lorna opened it, looked at the milky white liquid inside, and her eyes curved, her mood significantly improved.
Then she remembered being licked on the neck earlier, and her face flushed.
"Pervert…"
She bit her lip, hugged the youth Original Liquid tightly to her chest, lay back down on the bed, and pulled the blanket over her head.
