Late at night, when the children are asleep, Mike took out a phone, hesitated for a few seconds and then took out a space movement card.
With a flash of his body, he disappeared.
And when he reappeared, he was already in New York by a public phone booth.
Looking at the number, Mike laughed helplessly and called firmly.
It had been a long time since hed been involved in all this mess, but to find out where Raven was now, hed have to find some old connections.
The phone rang for a long time, and just as Mike decided that if this call didnt go through, he would talk to the other person face to face, a somewhat unexpected voice rang out.
Mike?
Solan.
Silence x2.
Ha! Solan laughed, breaking the silence, and said, Why are you calling at this time? If you want to catch up, we can reschedule a place and a time.
Raven.
Facing Solans bullshit, Mike just faintly uttered a name.
Solan gave a low laugh and said, You already knew she was a mutant?
Mike did not answer, but said in a cold voice: The place where she is being held, give me tomorrow at 12 noon.
Solans eyes sank and said, Do you think
If you keep talking nonsense, I will go and kill you.
Silent for a few seconds, Solan said coldly and stiffly: Got it!
With those words, Solan hung up the phone.
An instant movement card appeared between Mikes fingers, and as it dissipated into points of light, Mike disappeared.
Back at home, Mike helped Charles and Eric tuck the quilt, then returned to his room, unable to move, began to make cards.
Perhaps, it will consume a large amount of inventory now.
In the dark room
A little scarlet light glow appeared in Ravens vision with the sound of the door opening.
The amber eyes narrowed slightly, reflecting the persons appearance.
A well-cut tuxedo, a tall body, and a mysterious smile on his face.
Raven looked at the other man, her eyes not wavering until the anger grew in her eyes as the man looked at her with the look of a surveyed object.
I like the look in your eyes now, it looks even more perfect.
The man whispered, as if he saw a treasure.
Youre disgusting!
Raven said coldly.
The man smiled in disbelief and sat down across from Raven, introducing himself, Im Essex, you may have heard of me.
Essex!
Is that who Bolivar Teslach is working for, is that who is experimenting with mutants?
You crazy bastard!
Raven said coldly as her whole body tightened.
Mr. Essex looked at Raven quietly, admiring Ravens current expression, as if he was looking at a zoo, a female leopard in a cage.
At that moment, Raven, who had her hands and feet tied, stood up violently and pounced on Mr. Scary Evil on the opposite side.
Mr. Essexs gaze flashed, and an invisible force fixed Raven in place.
Take it easy, sit down.
Mr. Essex smiled, palm gently pressed, Raven was irresistible force pressed into the chair.
Youre a mutant too?
Obviously, beautiful lady.
Damn you!
Instead of getting angry, Mr. Essex smiled and said, I dont seem to die that easily.
Raven looked at her opponent and grunted coldly.
Weve put the news out that youve been captured, and now everyone, everyone in the world knows that youve been captured, Raven of the Hellfire Club.
Ravens eyes shrank, and her heart was shrouded in a cloud of gloom.
