"Jean, I know that I was too conceited and impulsive in the past. In fact I was ready to tell you everything. But I did not have time to take action and you found out about it yourself. If it can make you feel better, I am willing to pay any price to take responsibility."
Jean looked at Charles. She knew Charles very well. So she knew that what Charles said was true. However when Jean's expression just softened, the cracks on her face that emitted golden light suddenly became more numerous. The fire in her pupils became more and more vigorous. This made Jean irritable. She felt that Charles's words were extremely harsh and were all nonsense.
"Shut up!
You are just trying to trick me. How could it be such a coincidence? You are just acting like this because you see me interfering with your plans and affecting the so-called peace between mutants and humans. I know you very well Charles. So I know when your words are believable and when they are not!"
Seeing Jean's expression, Charles immediately controlled his wheelchair and wanted to go forward to continue explaining. However seeing Charles's movements, Jean suddenly reached out and pushed Charles hard. Charles and his wheelchair immediately flew backwards at an extremely fast speed. They crashed into the house behind him.
At this moment Sebastian suddenly stretched out his hand and waved it. Charles and his wheelchair stopped in mid-air. They slowly fell down. This action cut off Jean's control over Charles.
Sebastian's action immediately caught Jean's attention. She looked at Sebastian and said. "Sebastian Shaw a magician from another universe. I do not know what conspiracy you have in coming here. But I advise you to stay away from me. Otherwise you should not go back to your own world."
Charles returned to the group with the help of Raven. At this time Tony looked at Jean and said directly. "I think she does not have much rationality or control now. Instead of saying things here that she cannot listen to, it would be better to control her and find a way to expel the power in her body. That way it will be a permanent solution."
Charles looked at Jean and took a deep breath. Although he did not want to do this, what just happened made him realize that it was really unlikely to convince Jean under the current circumstances. So Charles nodded slowly and said. "Sorry to bother you all. Please try your best not to hurt her."
Tony nodded seriously and said. "Do not worry. I will try my best not to hurt her."
He reached out and touched his watch on his wrist. Suddenly a large number of nanorobots poured out of Tony's watch and covered his body. Starting from his right hand wearing the watch, it was quickly covered with the new golden-red battle suit.
The remaining countless nanobots continued to pour out of Tony's watch. They transformed behind him into two large cube-shaped drones that hovered in mid-air. Clearly they were some kind of advanced support system.
Click, click, click...
Bang, bang...
Over a dozen metal discs condensed from Tony's suit and shot toward Jean. Each disc possessed a degree of artificial intelligence. They formed a tactical formation that subtly surrounded her. They rapidly closed in on her position.
Jean gazed at the incoming discs and immediately raised her hands. In an instant they exploded. They disintegrated in mid-air completely.
But in the same instant, countless small hollow metal needles shot out from the exploding discs. These needles were loaded with compressed anesthetic powerful enough to knock a person unconscious. They shot toward Jean rapidly.
However before they could reach Jean, each and every one of the metal needles stopped in front of her. They quickly dissipated into invisible powder.
"Ridiculous!"
Jean had barely finished her words when two metal disks silently appeared behind her. They hovered in mid-air and emitted two powerful ultrasonic waves at her. Caught off guard, Jean fell to her knees. Her hands covered her ears. She could not control her body.
At that moment Tony swiftly reached Jean. His armor rapidly transformed and released a pair of handcuffs and an anesthetic injection. He was ready to capture her.
But at that moment Jean's eyes suddenly blazed bright. The two metal disks suddenly exploded. The ultrasonic waves abruptly stopped. Jean reached out and gave Tony a light press. This sent him flying backwards. His battle suit crumbled into dust.
More nanobots emanated from Tony's watch. They restored his suit to normal. Simultaneously the two drones hovering in mid-air unleashed a volley of metal rods. They quickly pierced the ground and buildings surrounding Jean. The rods resonated with each other. They transformed into energy circuits that formed a vast energy net. It subtly enveloped Jean completely.
Looking at the rods and the energy net, Sebastian addressed Tony. "Tony you have quietly borrowed my Hogwarts defensive design."
"Borrow it? You would not be so stingy would you?"
Tony's words were barely uttered when Pietro standing nearby chimed in. "I will help too!"
Pietro vanished from his spot instantly. Simultaneously a powerful burst of force erupted from Jean's position. It sent Pietro flying backwards at an even faster speed. He slammed into the wall behind him. If Sebastian had not reacted quickly and prepared to catch him, Pietro would likely have been seriously injured.
But even so Pietro had broken his shoulder badly. He fell to the ground in a cold sweat.
Seeing the state of her brother, Wanda frowned slightly. Her body turned into a red mist of chaotic energy. She quickly disappeared from her spot and appeared in front of Jean. The red light in her eyes was bright. The red mist of energy surged out. It quickly crushed toward Jean.
Sebastian was really surprised when he saw Wanda's actions.
It was not because Wanda made a move at this time. Rather it was because he did not know when Wanda had mastered the Apparition spell!
Wanda raised her hands. The red mist of energy continued to surge and crush toward Jean.
At the same time the Phoenix Force within Jean's body seemed to be stimulated by Wanda's power. A flame both illusory and substantial was released from her back. It transformed into a pair of large flaming wings. Jean's eyes turned completely golden. Her long wine-red hair fluttered up like flames. The wild and violent energy directly collided with Wanda's red mist!
Author's Note: Wanda has learned Apparition! The Phoenix Force is fully manifested! Can they contain Jean before she destroys the city?
