Chapter 52: Chapter 52 He is dangerous
Charles needed to do something otherwise his reputation would be ruined by the misleading speech Sullivan was giving now.
Of course Charles was the master of psychology, He knew how to appease the crowd.
He made a face that as if his loved one just passed away while speaking to Sullivan and Jean.
"I am sorry that you two must have felt wronged. It was my fault that I hadn't informed you about the change of the schedule due to the urgency of the matter. I have not had any intention to avoid or reject the request of the two of you."
Master of acting. The Oscar reward will be yours.
Sullivan heard him say what he had expected. He nodded his head in satisfaction.
He didn't feel the need to press him any further because He achieved his purpose.
Charles cannot deny him in releasing the being inside Jean anymore otherwise his reputation among the Quirk Holder would be ruined to the point no one was going to believe in him anymore.
Sullivan had made sure of that by injecting the seed of doubt to anyone through their desire.
'This must be one of my angel powers, the power of hearing their deepest desire.'
Sullivan was not that comfortable to use this kind of power but. He was not that smart to use any other method.
Because He played so many games that he kind of remembered the villain method they used so He used it too but with a goodness in his heart.
'Yeah with goodness in my heart.'
Jean looked at Sullivan. when she saw that he was okay with what The Professor said. She suppressed her anger before it got out of control.
The professor looked at his students when he saw their satisfied faces. He knew that he had avoided the worst possible outcome but.
He looked at Sullivan with caution. He just left for two hours and this happened.
'I have fallen into his trap. He expected me to try to regain my standing by agreeing to remove the blocks. I can't deny him anymore if I didn't want to lose the reputation I have painfully built. He is more dangerous than I had thought.'
Charles could only sign now. He could only let Jean go for now at least. If he needed to choose between everyone here and Jean. He will choose everyone.
Even Though Jean was powerful, Only one person could do so much. She could not change everything.
If that person wasn't in the league above like an omega level it was not worth it.
Charles because He hadn't had a chance to visit Jean when her power was mature enough So he didn't know She could become an Omega level easily.
"Please follow me. I have already prepared the place in which we will be using to release the being inside her."
Charles then led Jean and Sullivan inside the mansion with the help of Hank.
Ororo followed them while Logan will introduce the school to the new recruit.
Charles led the two to the danger room. He will use this room in order to remove the block. This was the only place that could withstand anything if something bad were to happen.
"We will be using this place. As a teacher I want to ask you again for the last time. Are you sure about this?"
Jean nodded her head. She was absolutely sure about it.
Sullivan stood beside her. He already cast Flame-Freezing Charm on himself and everyone here in case the fire were too intense.
"If you are sure about it then, Let's begin."
"Hold on…"
Before Charles used his power to go inside Jean's mind, Sullivan stopped him.
"What do you need Mr.Sullivan"
"I will go with you inside her mind."
"I have to refuse. It is too dangerous."
"For you, not me. I will go with you. I want to see what is behind the blockage."
Charles looked at Sullivan intensely but at last. He gave in.
Charles then used his power to go inside Jean's mind along with Sullivan.
"What happened here!"
Charles was panicking. Inside Jean's mind was full of fire, Everything he could see was burning.
He almost stopped using his mental power that connects to Jean's mind but before he could someone touch his shoulder to stop him from disconnecting.
"Calm down. It isn't as hot as you think."
Charles then felt that the fire wasn't burning him but gave him the feeling he was basking in the morning light.
"How"
In his experience in dealing with Jean out of control. He knew that these fires were real at least in the mental world. Normally He would be burnt to a crisp by now.
This meant it was Sullivan doing.
'How powerful could he be to make this infernal fire felt nice'
Charles was now wary of him. Maybe he was some kind of powerful mutant that could avoid his celebro like magneto.
Maybe he could strike a deal with him. This is all for greater good.
"Let's deal with the blockage. I will support you from behind. I promised."
Sullivan smiled. Somehow his smile was very scary.
