Han Shaoqing and Artoria followed Charles and Erik out of the conference room.
As soon as the mutants left and the door closed, the CIA executives, who had been smiling just moments before, immediately changed their expressions. They signaled their subordinates to activate the newly installed Psychic Blocker.
CIA Director McConne spoke, "We've received information that Shaw is planning to meet with the Soviet Minister of Defense in Moscow. We must accelerate the elimination of the mutants developing locally, fighting fire with fire."
The Deputy Director said, "Wait, do you think this is a good idea? Sending out a group of untrained, unauthorized freaks?"
The fat man with glasses was a little angry, "Watch your words. The freaks you speak of are all hard-working people; they are fighting for peace."
The Deputy Director sneered, "Really? Once Shaw is eliminated, do you think these freaks will behave themselves? Their existence poses a threat to social stability. We cannot entrust national security to a group of freaks. I suggest we implement Plan B."
The voices in the office entered Han Shaoqing's ears, word for word.
The Psychic Blocker can only block telepathy in a certain area, but sound is not blocked.
With Han Shaoqing's hearing, he could hear people talking behind his back even from across the street.
Han Shaoqing just smiled at the faces of these politicians; he wasn't angry.
Because from the very beginning, he knew that these American politicians were unreliable and offered no hope, so naturally, he wouldn't be disappointed.
After a while, Moira walked out of the room.
She herself had no prejudices against mutants, but as a CIA agent, she would obey her superiors' orders. When a choice needed to be made, she could unhesitatingly point her gun at mutants.
Because she had a good relationship with Charles, and they were fond of each other, Moira was currently a liaison between the CIA and the mutants.
Time was of the essence, and the situation was serious, so Moira got straight to the point: "Latest news, Shaw is preparing to go to Moscow. The CIA has already begun mobilizing agents in the Soviet Union to assist him. The plane will depart for the Soviet Union in an hour. You all prepare to leave."
Erik was a little worried: "Those kids aren't ready."
"They're not ordinary kids."
Charles seemed very confident.
Han Shaoqing didn't think so. His hearing range already covered the CIA.
The few young mutants Charles placed high hopes on were now playing around in the Shelter, carefree.
Raven, transformed into a blonde woman, suggested: "We're considered government agents now, so I think we should have a secret codename. I want to be called Mystique."
She chose the name Mystique because of her ability to change her appearance and imitate others, and Raven thought it was cool.
"Sounds good."
Sean Cassidy, Hank McCoy, Alex Summers, Darwin, and Salvador all spoke in praise.
Raven looked at the black young man, Darwin, sitting on the sofa: "Darwin, have you thought of a codename?"
"I'll just use Darwin, because survival of the fittest, that's what my ability is."
Saying that, Darwin came to the fish tank and demonstrated his superpower.
He put his head into the water in the fish tank, and in a short time, his cheeks became the shape of Gills, allowing him to breathe underwater like a fish.
This ability allowed him to adapt to various environments, and if he progressed step by step, he should have great potential.
"Wow, that's great!"
"Clap clap clap..."
Several young mutants were very active and full of youthful enthusiasm, and they all applauded for Darwin.
Darwin looked at Sean: "How about you, man?"
Sean thought for a moment and said, "I think I'll go with... Banshee."
"Why that codename?" Alex was puzzled.
"Because my ability is sound."
Sean stood up and showed off his talent, whistling an ultrasonic wave that easily shattered the glass on the wall.
Then there was the nightclub girl, Salvador. Her ability was a pair of Insect-Mimicking Wings on her back, which allowed her to fly. At the same time, she could spew flames and venom from her mouth.
The nickname she gave herself was "Angel," though she looked more like a dragonfly woman.
Finally, there's Alex. He can emit a High-Energy Beam, which is extremely powerful. He's considered the main damage dealer of the team, but he can't yet control his ability freely.
He gave himself the codename "Havok."
As for Hank, aside from his superior physical strength and intellect, his current abilities don't seem very outstanding. Only his large feet are different from others, so he hasn't come up with a codename yet.
Because he doesn't want to be called "Bigfoot Hank."
The few young mutants were showing off their superpowers in the room and garden, having a blast. They were partying to the music, just like a group of overgrown kids, making a complete mess of the room.
Walking through the corridor to the corner, the scene was chaotic.
"What the hell?"
Moira looked bewildered.
Han Shaoqing, Artoria, Charles, and Erik stood in the corridor, their expressions shifting as they watched the group playing in the room.
Moira shouted, "What are you doing?"
Hearing Moira's voice, Raven and the others stopped, turning to look at Charles and the others. When they saw Han Shaoqing and Artoria, the young mutants' eyes lit up.
Seeing that they had calmed down, Moira continued, "Who destroyed the statue?"
"Alex did it. He's now called Havok. That's his new name. We're planning to form a special team, and we're calling it the X-Men. Everyone has taken a codename, and we've thought of yours too."
Raven stepped forward, pointing at Charles. "You're Professor X."
Then she pointed at Erik. "And you're Magneto."
"Right, are these two new teammates?"
Raven looked at Artoria and Han Shaoqing, and asked with a smile, "Do you want me to give you nicknames?"
Han Shaoqing looked at Raven: "No need, we already have them. Let me introduce myself, I am Han Shaoqing, you can call me Aquaman."
"Artoria Pendragon, you can call me Arthur."
Artoria herself wouldn't casually reveal her identity as Arthur, but since Han Shaoqing had already said it, she didn't hide it any longer.
Namor also had the nickname Aquaman, but in this era of limited information, he wasn't well-known and few people knew about him.
But the name Arthur was still very resounding.
"Arthur, that's so cool!"
Thinking of his own nickname, "Banshee," Sean immediately felt like a loser.
And Erik felt pretty good when he heard the name "Magneto," but he couldn't help but feel disappointed when he saw these silly young people.
Sebastian Shaw, whom they were going to deal with, was a super villain who didn't blink when killing people, and judging from the performance of Raven and the others, they were really not up to the task.
Charles sighed, "It seems we have to change the plan!"
