After some persuasion, Professor Charles was also a person with dreams and pursuits. Emma's mutant school and the X-Men project were very suitable for him, so he agreed very quickly.
Emma continued," A mutated human named Hank Phillip McCoy will be here later. He is very smart. S.H.I.E.L.D. will fund the design and development of a brainwave enhancement machine for you. Through it, your psychic ability will be enhanced and spread to the whole world, making it easier to find mutated humans.”
"Brainwave Enhancement Machine? Emma, you're also a psychic ability user. Do you know how dangerous this thing is?”Charles had obviously thought of the disaster of being abused by people with psychic abilities with ill intentions if this thing was built.
" Yes, it's very dangerous, but the establishment of the X-Men will definitely be hindered by the government. They will not allow a group of powerful forces to be born out of control. You need a deterrent weapon against the government. We, S.H.I.E.L.D., will only support it in secret and will not put it on the surface.”
Not long after, a helicopter landed at Xavier Manor. Peggy Carter, Natasha Romanov, Hank Philip McCoy, and the beautiful CIB agent, Maura Marktag, got off the helicopter.
After everyone gathered together for a detailed discussion, the work officially began. The young Hank, who was not yet a beast, began to research and develop the brainwave enhancement machine after learning about Charles 'ability. Howard Stark also rushed over later to help him with the design. Then, he realized that he had a lot of common topics with Hank the Beast. Both of them were very impressed by each other's talents.
Emma walked to Charles 'side and said in a mischievous tone,""Do you see that CIB female agent, Charles? Use your charm to conquer her.”
He stared at Emma with dead fish eyes.
Emma smiled." Alright, I'm just joking. But it's not good to have a CIB agent in the X-Men."”
"He came with your S.H.I.E.L.D., shouldn't this be your problem? Why is it my problem?”Charles obviously didn't fall for Emma's trick.
"Alright, but Charles, if the government forces mutated humans to join the army in the future, you must not agree. They will not treat mutated humans as humans. When the time comes, S.H.I.E.L.D. will help you resist the government's pressure.”
With the huge resources of S.H.I.E.L.D., the brainwave enhancement system was built under Xavier's manor in less than three days.
The Mutant Academy had officially started operations. In just a few days, they had recruited the striptease salvador, codename Angel, driver Aman, codename Darwin, student Sean Cassidy, codename Siren, future brother of Laser Eye Alex Summers, codename Shockwave (Alex was actually the younger brother of Laser Eye in the manga, but the setting here was based on the movie version), and so on.
On this day, Charles 'brainwave scanned a small diving cruise ship somewhere on the west coast of the United States. Sebastian Shaw, Red Devil, Riptide, and a black-haired woman in a sexy black dress were there. However, this black-haired woman looked very strong. Shaw and the others treated her like a grandson.
Charles told Emma about this, and Emma immediately had a headache. The ancient witch, Selena Gallio, was more dangerous than Sebastian Shaw, Red Devil, and Riptide combined. Because of her special ability, she had lived for more than 17,000 years by devouring the life force of others. She had powerful black magic and could summon the undead to raise an undead army. She also had many followers. It could be said that she was even more dangerous than the Hydra organization.
"Charles, don't invade her mind. Let me do it. I want to talk to her.”
As there were no people from S.H.I.E.L.D. or CIB in the Brain Wave Enhancement Lab, Emma did not have to worry about exposing her psychic abilities.
Putting on the brainwave enhancement machine's silly hat with many wires connected to it, Emma's mind was instantly enhanced. She emptied her mind and spread her mind waves to the West Coast. Soon, she found the ancient witch and the others.
The ancient witch had felt a spiritual fluctuation before, but she was too lazy to pay attention to it. She did not expect it to happen again. Was it over yet? She looked in the direction of the fluctuation and met Emma's eyes across the distance.
Emma's spirit entered Selina's mind and said,"" Selene Gallio, an ancient witch who has lived for more than seventeen thousand years. I know you.”
Selina replied in her mind, Who are you?”
" I'd better not tell you my name, lest you curse me. The three people beside you, to be precise, are Sebastian Shaw. He's trying to ignite the fuse of World War III, and we've already set our sights on him. We don't want to be your enemy. Selina, if you want to achieve something, I can help you to a certain extent, but the condition is that you don't help Sebastian Shaw.”Emma said calmly.
"Why should I believe you?"
" Just because I can travel through time to the past, when Atlantis sank last season, it would have killed you when you were still a baby. However, the price is too high. I don't want it to develop to this point.”Emma tried to trick him. Of course, she couldn't travel through time, but Selina didn't know.
"It seems like I have no choice. Do you need me to help you capture Sebastian Shaw?”
"As long as you don't cause trouble."
Emma took off the silly helmet and stood up.""Let's go and capture Xiao. Charles, tell your people not to provoke that black-haired woman. That will cause even more trouble. I've already negotiated with her just now. She won't stop us from capturing Xiao.”
"Who is that woman?" Charles asked curiously.”
"An ancient witch, a person who has lived for more than 17,000 years. Not only is she a mutant, but she is also a very powerful black witch.”Emma said.
Charles was shocked. 17,000 years, could someone really live that long? He had been to hell before, so he naturally knew that magic needed time to accumulate. In other words, the longer a mage lived, the stronger he was. Charles immediately expressed that he understood. If he did not provoke them, he would be a fool. Besides, Charles was not the kind of person who liked to cause trouble.
