As night fell, on the floor of the girls' dormitory at Xavier's School for the Gifted, in Elizabeth's room.

It was already late, but the owner of the room had not yet fallen asleep, and Elizabeth, dressed in a tulle nightdress, was sitting on the bed with her knees crossed, chatting with another long-legged girl in a nightdress.

That long-legged girl is naturally the cold beauty Aurora.

As they get younger, their energy increases greatly, and the old man's habit of sleeping less has not changed in the short term, so at night Aurora will quietly fly into Elizabeth's room through the window of the next room and have a bedtime chat with her.

The two of them have endless words, they haven't sat together and chatted for decades since they turned against each other, and during the time they entered the academy, they had nothing to do after they were removed from their status as mutant leaders, as if they had returned to the past, back to the time when they had just met, chatting about various topics of interest without any guilt.

"Eric, you should take this opportunity to study hard."

Elizabeth advised: "You have been captured in a concentration camp since you were a child, and after you escaped from the concentration camp, you have been wandering and plotting revenge, and then you have been busy fighting against the human government, and you have not received a proper formal education in the classroom for so many years, which is not good. ”

Although she knew that Magneto had changed her name to Aurora, she still kept her old habit of calling her Eric when there were only two people in private.

"The world has taught me so much that I can only learn knowledge in the classroom, but I can't learn wisdom." Aurora shook her head and said, "Besides, I don't like to be taught like children by a group of children. ”

"Eric, you must know that knowledge is the crystallization of systematic wisdom, and if you don't learn knowledge well, even if you have wisdom, you will not be able to use it properly because of the limited knowledge level."

Elizabeth said patiently: "I used to prefer to study humanities and social sciences, but now I think that I am still lacking in physical and chemical sciences, so I also study a lot on my own in addition to class, and the more I study, the more I feel that I have a deeper understanding of myself and the world." ”

Aurora frowned in contemplation, although she was reluctant, but still nodded: "Okay, this is advice from an old friend, I should follow it, anyway, I have a lot of time now, and it's boring to sit in class, so I'll listen to you." ”

Elizabeth smiled with relief.

As for why Professor X and Magneto calmly and naturally changed their clothes into women's clothes from the inside out, maybe some young people can't understand their thoughts, and that's because they don't have enough experience and realm.

For people like them, they are obviously women, but they still have to wear men's clothes, which is a childish move that is not mellow, has a mustard in their hearts, is not mature enough, and attaches too much importance to their own appearance and other people's opinions.

Do you really think you're still a man when you wear men's clothes and pretend to be a man?

Once they have made up their minds, they will definitely not have the slightest regrets and entanglements, and they have decided to transform into girls, so they will immediately enter the role of girls at the next moment of making a decision, and there is no need to do something strange and suspicious.

Anyway, I can't go back, so why bother tossing awkwardly?

This is the unique open-mindedness of wise old people like them who have reached the age of "following the desires of the heart and not exceeding the rules", and young people certainly can't understand it, and they don't need to understand it.

After chatting about the topic of study, Aurora seemed to have something on her mind, looked at Elizabeth's delicate face in a daze, and thought about it.

"Old friend, what are you thinking?"

Elizabeth immediately saw that something was not quite right with her, and asked curiously.

"I'm thinking about the future for both of us." Aurora said to her earnestly.

"The future of both of us?"

Elizabeth tilted her head, put on a cute and curious pose, blinked and asked, "Isn't our future to hide our identities and protect the mutant race and help humans protect the earth?" ”

"I'm not talking about our responsibility." Aurora shook her head and said, "I'...... I'm talking about our personal problems. ”

Elizabeth looked compassionate and calmly said, "I have decided to sacrifice myself for the protection of the world, so why should I think about personal matters?" ”

"No!" Aurora shook her head and said, "Protecting the earth is not contradictory to our personal happiness, I have seriously considered it during this time, and I have decided to make it clear to you today." ”

Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, she faintly noticed that the cold beauty in front of her looked at her a little abnormally, and there was a special taste.

"We have become like this, and we will live like this for a hundred years......"

Aurora pondered her words and said cautiously, "Could it be that we have been alone all these hundred years? Although we have changed and have extraordinary powers, we are still people, not machines. ”

Elizabeth seemed to understand what her old friend was trying to say, but she didn't.

"You mean...... Relationship problems? ”

This topic is really a bit embarrassing for these two special people.

Aurora nodded heavily.

"Eric, I haven't started thinking about it yet."

Elizabeth smiled bitterly: "If you want to find a boyfriend, you don't need to tell me, you and I can have nothing to see, are you still afraid that I will laugh at you?" ”

"Not really." Aurora shook her head and said, "That's what I thought, I've been secretly observing you lately. I know you, and I know that you look at young men like elders look at their children and grandchildren, and I am similar to you, and it is impossible for you to have any thoughts about men. ”

"But ......"

Aurora's cheeks were slightly red: "I found a serious problem, and that is that our bodies produce hormones that are no different from normal teenagers, and hormones can affect our mood, feelings, and even indirectly affect our psyche. ”

Elizabeth also nodded slowly, agreeing with Aurora's words.

She is a master of the mind, and Aurora is an expert in controlling matter, and they can control almost everything in the world, visible and invisible, inside and out.

But the only thing that can't be controlled is the hormones secreted in the body!

This miracle hormone will cause them to have emotions and feelings such as sadness, happiness, nervousness, rapid heartbeat, blushing, etc.

Just like now, Aurora's body secretes a lot of hormones, her eyes are like water, she looks at Elizabeth gently, and can't help but reach out her hand ** her cheek and ruffle her hair.

"Wait...... Erik, don't ...... like that"

Elizabeth's hormones began to secrete, her indifferent expression disappeared, her heartbeat began to accelerate, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Aurora looked at her with burning eyes and whispered, "We can comfort each other...... Eliminate the effects of hormones on us. ”

"This ......"

Intellectually, Elizabeth thought Aurora had a point, but emotionally, she really couldn't take it right away.

It was so sudden!

The relationship between the two of them is too complicated!

It is so complex that it is impossible to analyze it from many aspects such as ethics, morality, physiology, and psychology!

Once the two crossed that line, Elizabeth didn't know what kind of unknown territory they would enter, the unknown was the greatest horror of human beings, and Rao was also frightened by a powerful and mellow person like her.

Will Aurora take the initiative, or because of a glimpse at the funeral, that glance, that moment, she has fallen without knowing it.

The age gap has caused her to suppress her feelings and turn them into a pampering for her granddaughter, but now the situation is different, they have become peers, and they are likely to go hand in hand for the rest of their lives.

Aurora could no longer suppress that emotion and decided to live as she pleased.

"No!"

Elizabeth resisted, broke free of her hand, pushed her out of the room, and locked the door.

In fact, this lock is worse than paper for a mutant with a powerful magnetic field, but Aurora didn't use his ability, and he didn't even try to push the door.

She sat with her back against the door in a daze, her body slowly slid to the ground, her back against the cold door, her eyes lost focus, she didn't know what was wrong with her, her heart was in turmoil, a sense of sadness hit under the effect of hormones, and a tear slid down her cheek.

On the other side of the door, Elizabeth had long since lost her usual composure, leaning back against the door, gasping for breath, scared, nervous, overwhelmed, for the first time in decades.

The girls were back to back, separated only by a door, but this door seemed to separate the whole world.
