"Hawking, Hawking, we're about to leave!"
Just as his Shadow Clone left, Wanda's 'thump-thump-thump' knocking sound came from outside the door.
"Let's go, you little impatient one."
Hawking changed his clothes with a Deformation Curse, opened the door, and casually pinched Wanda's somewhat round little face. Wanda, on the other hand, hugged Hawking's arm and pulled him out the door.
"They're not ready yet, let's go outside and build a snowman first."
Pietro, who had just finished wrapping his scarf, saw this and couldn't help but complain:
"I'm also her brother, so why don't I get this kind of treatment?"
If he dared to pinch Wanda's face, she would knock out his Kiba. The title of big sister of the Mutant School was not to be trifled with.
"It's because you used to always snatch your sister's snacks."
Elena heard Pietro's complaint from the side, came over to straighten his clothes, and said with a smile.
Pietro shrugged:
"Forget it, if she really treated me like that, I'd get goosebumps. You don't know how barbaric she is at school. I really pity her future boyfriend."
"You brat, is that how you talk about your sister?"
Oleg, who had just come downstairs, heard this and immediately went forward to give Pietro a smack on the back of his head.
Pietro rubbed the back of his head:
"I'm just telling the truth, and I get hit for telling the truth. I think she might as well marry Hawking in the future. Only Hawking can control her!"
After speaking, he saw Oleg raise his hand again and immediately'swish'ed out the door.
His ability was an active skill, meaning it was only useful when actively activated. If not activated, he was no different from an ordinary person.
So, he didn't dodge Oleg's first hit because he hadn't noticed it at the time, and naturally hadn't actively activated his ability.
Now that he saw Oleg about to hit him again, he immediately activated his ability, and Oleg couldn't hit him anymore.
"This child... but what he said makes a lot of sense."
Elena, seeing this, first shook her head helplessly, then couldn't help but nod.
If Hawking and Wanda were to be together in the future, that would, of course, be the best thing.
Wanda was a Mutant. If she were to marry an ordinary person in the future, there would inevitably be a rift. Even if the other party had no rift, their parents and family members couldn't all be without one.
Hawking, however, was different. He was a Mutant and family, only two years older than Wanda. He was mature, steady, and caring, and crucially, Wanda was also very attached to him.
If he could truly become Wanda's husband in the future, she would simply die of laughter.
However, she was afraid her daughter wouldn't have that good fortune. According to Pietro, there were simply too many girls at school who liked Hawking.
"What are you thinking? They're still children."
Seeing his wife in a daze, Oleg, who understood her very well, helplessly shook her awake.
Wanda was fourteen, Hawking sixteen. They weren't even adults yet, and his wife was thinking too much.
"They're still children now, but they'll grow up in a blink of an eye. Of course, we need to plan ahead, otherwise, when they really grow up, it'll be too late.
It seems I need to help our little Wanda!"
Elena replied thoughtfully.
Oleg's mouth twitched, and he stopped trying to persuade her, pulling his wife outside.
Outside the door, Wanda and Hawking, who had no talent for building snowmen, had already jointly built a hideously ugly little snowman, making Pietro laugh heartily, clutching his stomach.
However, he soon got hit by a snowball from Wanda, and instantly, snowballs flew everywhere in the yard until Oleg and Elena came out and they stopped.
The family drove, played music, and, accompanied by laughter, went to the bustling city for their pre-Christmas shopping.
Decorative lights, balloons, stickers, and a mini Christmas tree for the house, as well as various ingredients, they shopped from morning until one in the afternoon, barely managing to buy everything.
So, lunch was directly chosen at a restaurant in the city.
"Wanda, you're too clingy to Hawking. What will you do if Hawking isn't around one day?"
Seeing Wanda, who insisted on sitting next to Hawking even for meals, Pietro couldn't help but tease her.
Wanda, however, snorted delicately:
"Then I'll create a World with Hawking in it!"
"Pfft!"
Hawking, who had just taken a sip of Water, almost choked when he heard this.
Are you going to evolve into Uchiha Wanda?
"Wanda, even if your brother isn't around in the future, you must live happily. There are many beautiful things in the World waiting for you to experience. You must never go to extremes in your thinking."
Since ancient times, who has not died? He couldn't be sure that he could live forever in the future, nor could he be sure that he would survive the successive major events.
If he really died, he didn't want the people he loved to go to extremes because of his death.
Especially Wanda. Although the more extreme her thoughts, the more powerful she became, it also meant she was more susceptible to being controlled by Chthon, eventually becoming merely a puppet.
Ultimately, he was still within the realm of a normal person. While he could be ruthless in his actions sometimes, he also had his bottom line.
He wasn't like Magneto, who would exterminate all humans for the sake of Mutants, nor was he as restrained as Professor X, and certainly not as extreme as Wanda.
If possible, he hoped the World would always remain peaceful, and he and Wanda's family would live a simple and happy life, without worrying about money.
"I was just kidding, Hawking, you're so amazing, you'll definitely be with us forever."
Wanda blinked and smiled.
"Yes, I will become more and more powerful, so powerful that no one can take me away from you."
Hawking's face also broke into a smile.
As long as he was strong enough, no one could destroy everything they had now.
After lunch, the family returned home loaded with goods. Hawking, Wanda, and Pietro decorated the entire house, while Oleg and Elena organized the various ingredients they had bought.
As it was getting close to dinner, Hawking suddenly felt a jolt, and some memories appeared in his mind.
It was his Shadow Clone successfully completing its mission at the S.H.I.E.L.D. building, releasing the Ninjutsu, and transmitting the intelligence back.
"Magneto, that old man, really has a problem."
In one day, the Shadow Clone had roughly figured out the situation through various magic and Ninjutsu like Transformation Curse, Alohomora, and Imperio.
It was indeed as Magneto had said, S.H.I.E.L.D. had developed agents and weapons targeting Mutants. However, there was no intention to attack Mutants after Christmas, at least not in the short term.
"Does he merely want to use this opportunity to trick me into taking down S.H.I.E.L.D., dragging me into trouble, or does he have other motives?"
After pondering for a moment, he formed hand seals again and sent out another Shadow Clone, letting it fly to the Mutant School.
Given the current situation, he felt it would be better to inform Professor X. Two heads are better than one. Professor X understood Magneto best. He would first see Professor X's attitude towards S.H.I.E.L.D. and Magneto before deciding.
