Donnie opened the door and let Pyro John in. He looked at the boy who seemed a little reserved and nervous at the moment.
To be honest, Donnie was very happy that someone came to see him, but he also felt a little disappointed. The one who impressed him the most was Iceman Bobby, a mutant with level five potential.
Bobby is different from Phoenix Qin. Phoenix Qin possesses the power of the Phoenix, and upon awakening, she could be said to be at level five strength, but the source of her power was sealed by the Professor in time. Iceman Bobby, while currently limited in ability, possesses the potential to reach level five. Given the right opportunities in the future, Bobby will realize his potential and become even stronger. His unrealistic ice-making ability could theoretically freeze the entire universe. Of course, this is only theoretical; he might die of old age or be killed before freezing halfway. After all, this world is full of powerful people.
But the fact that Burning John could come was enough to make Donnie happy.
Donnie narrowed his eyes and asked him, "What are you doing here so late?" He asked even though he knew the answer. He hoped that the boy would tell him himself.
Fireman John was very nervous, with beads of sweat appearing on his young face. He stuttered for a long time before he could barely utter a complete sentence: Are you still short of men?
He was sweating profusely. For some reason, he felt extremely nervous and stressed when facing this young man. But this also made him more determined to make a decision.
"I am indeed planning to form my own team, and I am also optimistic about you." Donnie said lightly, which immediately made John look up suddenly with an ecstatic look.
"But definitely not now. At least not now. I can't let you join me, John. You are too young and you are not ready." Donny poured a basin of cold water on him without any courtesy.
John was not convinced and wanted to argue, telling the man in front of him that he was well prepared, but the next sentence hit him so hard that he couldn't even raise his head.
"You are too weak. I am about to go to war with the vampire clan. It is extremely dangerous. How much can you help me? You might even become a burden to me."
John lowered his head, feeling frustrated. He couldn't refute what Donnie said. The most brutal battle he had ever experienced was a group fight with another group led by Iceman Bobby. It was completely different from Donnie's.
"Believe me, John, I'm happy that you came to me, but you came too early. You still need to become stronger before you can join my team. Believe me, when you are strong enough, I will definitely come to you." Donny patted John's shoulder and sighed.
Donnie was heartbroken when he said this. He wanted to form his own team and wanted to kidnap John, a promising talent, to be his subordinate. But he couldn't. He was broke and penniless. The most likely outcome for that so-called team was not death in battle with the enemy, but starvation.
He, the great mechanic Donnie, is a pauper. What kind of team is he going to build? Is he going to build a team and then let everyone starve to death?
With the little money he had now, could he afford to support a few extraordinary fighters? He even had a hard time supporting himself, and he was worried to death.
Now, Donny only hopes to risk his life to rob vampires and make a fortune. The wealth that has been hoarded for thousands of years should be very touching, right?
John left, leaving with frustration and expectation, something flashing in his eyes. The young man seemed to understand what he should do in the future. He finally had a goal.
Donnie patted the wall and sighed, "Have you heard enough? If you have, then leave now."
Then a little girl walked out of the wall. If Donny remembered correctly, this little girl was Katie, nicknamed Phantom Cat, whose spatial ability allowed her to pass through barriers.
The little girl Katie stared at him for a while and left without saying a word. She heard every word of the conversation between Donnie and John.
Donnie sat there in a daze, clutching his chest. He was heartbroken to let two little guys go in a row. Showing off cost money, and what he lacked the most was money, not to mention that his Transformers Corps also required a steady stream of money.
This is a bottomless pit.
Donnie sighed repeatedly, beat his chest and stamped his feet, and was almost heartbroken.
"It seems that you regret it very much. Do you want me to call them back?" Professor X also came. He couldn't hide the movement from him, so he teased Donnie.
Donnie groaned angrily, "Old man, believe it or not, I wanted to kidnap them more than once just now, but I kept holding back. I regret it so much, my heart aches..."
The bald professor was unusually serious. "Donnie, they are still too young and don't understand anything. I don't want you to interfere with them too much, at least not now."
Donnie was silent, but finally nodded helplessly. In school, John could learn knowledge, but with Donnie, John's fighting ability would soar. Donnie was confident of this, but there was no doubt that the professor would not let him go easily.
Xavier School mainly teaches these mutants how to be human beings and how to live in peace with humans. Only a small number of them join the X-Men and have the opportunity to learn how to fight.
Charles turned his wheelchair and asked Donny if he would continue to fight against vampires?
Donnie nodded heavily, explaining that it wasn't a question of whether he wanted to fight or not, but rather that the vampires would definitely continue to fight him and wouldn't easily give in. Furthermore, the vampires were carrying out their god-making plan, and Donnie was the perfect touchstone.
"The war cannot be ended. I came here to seek an opportunity to become stronger." said Donnie.
Charles nodded silently and said that he would provide some help to Donnie to the best of his ability.
"Donny, sometimes I'm really worried that you'll go down the same path as Eric." Charles expressed his worries. He didn't want Donny to go down Eric's path, which was extreme and dangerous.
Donnie smiled and told the old man that he wouldn't be like Eric. But he did need to show off his strength because there were still people coveting him. He needed a victory to scare those scoundrels. They would target Donnie, but not Professor X and Magneto, because they had been beaten badly by those two, but not by Donnie.
"Professor, you haven't hurt many people with your powers, but that doesn't mean they haven't been intimidated by your powerful abilities. At least I don't hate ordinary people. I come from the same group as ordinary people, and all mutants come from ordinary people." Donnie said with a smile. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and he tentatively said, "Perhaps the first mutant in history is an exception."
"The first mutant? Who?" Charles was originally pleased with Downey's idea, but when he heard this question, he looked at Downey in confusion. He was a little confused.
Donnie's heart sank suddenly, that terrible possibility became a reality.
"It's just a guess." Downey said perfunctorily, saying that he himself guessed that the first mutant in history might be different from them, the younger generations.
Charles was thoughtful. He could tell that Donny was hiding something from him, but since Donny refused to say, there was no need for him to ask. He could also investigate the first mutant in history.
After the professor left, Donnie sat alone, too tired to complain.
It turns out that the timeline he is in has not been restarted yet and is the most original one.
By the way, that dangerous old guy, Tianqi, is he still hibernating in the Egyptian pyramids? He has been sleeping for thousands of years.
A storm is brewing, and the world has one more troublesome old immortal.
