Hello, Colossus, do you mind if I take a look at your drawing?" Watson asked, walking up behind Colossus.
"Of course not, it's not finished yet, but it will be soon," Colossus said as he continued drawing. "I heard you sparred with Logan? It's a shame I didn't get to see it, to be honest, I regret it a little."
Watson looked at the drawing, which depicted the courtyard, and replied to Colossus, "It's alright, we just drew a tie. But seriously, your drawing is truly amazing, you have real talent."
"Thanks~" Colossus was clearly happy to hear Watson's words.
"I remember you can transform back, can't you? Why do you maintain this state?"
"Because that way, I'm less easily distracted and more focused, and holding a paintbrush is more stable and less tiring."
Watson suddenly remembered that Colossus seemed to enjoy drawing portraits of the X-Men. Thinking of this, Watson asked, "I heard you're great at drawing portraits, could you draw one for me? Hmm—a bust, perhaps?"
Colossus clearly didn't expect Watson to make this request, but he quickly responded, "Of course, but could I give it to you a little later after I finish it? I'd like to make a copy for myself."
Watson readily agreed. Before long, Colossus finished his previous work and had Watson stand opposite him as a model.
Watson thought for a moment, summoned his Rathalos armor, then removed his helmet and loaded it into his arm.
Although Colossus was entirely transformed into steel, the subtle expressions on his face still showed that he was truly concentrating on the painting.
But Watson couldn't stand it anymore—it was like standing at attention, not tiring, but incredibly boring! An hour later, a bust portrait of Watson was complete.
Hearing Colossus's voice, Watson finally let out a sigh of relief and stretched, causing a series of cracks and pops.
He truly admired performance artists who worked with solid forms.
Just as Watson was admiring his handsome reflection, his phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID showed—Charming Agent.
"Hey baby, what made you think of calling me?" Watson made an apologetic gesture to Colossus, then walked to the side.
"What's wrong, my dear Watson? Don't you miss me~ Or has your poor Natasha lost her charm? I just got home, you weren't there~"
Watson chuckled, "How could that be? My dearest Natasha is the most sexy and charming woman of the twenty-first century. I'm currently—in a rather special place."
Colossus, not far away, clearly heard Watson's words, looked at his own hands, and muttered, "Another one with a girlfriend—"
But Watson didn't hear him—if he had, maybe he would have comforted him?
"Hmm? A special place, alright then~ I wanted to tell you, dear, that I'm in Los Angeles, helping people here catch an old scoundrel, so I won't be back until tomorrow~ I'll try my best to get back, and as compensation, I've prepared a little surprise you'll absolutely love~"
Hmm? Hearing about the little surprise, Watson's face lit up with anticipation, but then he quickly asked with concern, "Do you need your knight's help?"
"No need, dear~ It's just a bunch of ordinary people. Don't forget, I'm the Black Widow~"
"They say Black Widows eat their mates?"
"That's right, so just wait to be eaten completely~ Alright, dear, I'm hanging up now, mwah~"
Colossus left halfway through the conversation; he couldn't stand it. He felt that if he listened any longer, he'd probably drop a pile of little steel pellets.
As night slowly fell, Watson leaned against the wall, a little bored, when he suddenly heard footsteps.
He turned around and saw Jean. Why was she coming to find him?
"Hey, so you're here." Watson watched Jean walk towards him.
Why did it feel a little off? Was she trying to tempt him?
Was the first question I ever asked about to be answered?!
"Dinner will be ready soon, Professor sent me to call you~"
"Oh, I see. Let's go together then." Watson nodded and headed back inside after hearing that.
"Wait a moment, there's something else." Hearing this, Watson turned his head in confusion.
Jean paused and said, "You should know that mutants have two factions. We'd like to ask you to help us fight against Magneto's Brotherhood."
"Didn't Magneto already get sent to prison?"
"No, we all know that won't hold him."
Watson seemed to suddenly remember something, glanced at the map in his mind, then said to Jean with a serious expression, "No, I will not help any faction against any other faction. And I think that while Magneto's methods are radical, there's nothing wrong with them."
"You actually think that?" Although Jean frowned deeply, Watson still saw—joy—deep in her eyes?
And Watson's eyes were also filled with amusement. Then Watson leaned in, looked at the red lips so close to him, and said, "If our Instructor Jean is willing to have a deep physiological lesson with me, then I'll be willing to help you fight Magneto's Brotherhood!" After saying that, he pressed his lips directly onto hers.
"You!" Jean immediately recoiled after being kissed, looking at Watson with disbelief in her eyes, while a sneer formed in her heart. So the Flame Knight was just a little pervert.
Just as Watson continued to press closer.
"Instructor Jean! Mr. Watson!" It was the kid who could teleport while playing basketball. After seeing this scene, he turned and ran.
"Let go of me! You've been discovered! How will you explain when Charles arrives!"
"Where did the acting from the beginning go? Are you sure it's me who's been discovered? And when did Jean start calling Professor Charles by his first name? I know you want to wait for Professor Charles to come, so he'll definitely let you go, my dear Miss Raven? But, you're dreaming."
With that, Watson suddenly burst forth, grabbed Raven's hand, pulled her into his arms, and then dashed towards the outer wall, leaping over the school fence.
At this point, Raven, who now realized she had been discovered, struggled fiercely, but it was no use against Watson's monstrous strength.
Seeing that they were far enough away, he threw her onto the ground. As soon as Raven landed, she instantly stood up, watching Watson warily and asking, "When did you discover me?!"
"Hahaha, finally a standard villain question! But I won't tell you, unless you agree to one condition."
Raven said in a deep voice, "Hmph, then it doesn't matter. What do you want?!"
Watson suddenly became very serious, then said, "Why didn't you tempt me at first? Ah no, sorry, I got my lines mixed up. I want to see your true form. I think your true form is very beautiful!"
