American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

Pietro ran at his full speed. Possibly due to the deep psychological shadows cast by the orphanage's basement, Pietro's speed was noticeably faster than usual. The two of them ran out of the orphanage, not stopping for a moment. Pietro directly placed Alex in the car's driver's seat, even thoughtfully fastening his seatbelt.

From Alex's perspective, it was just a brief blur and a small jolt. When he came to his senses, his hands were already gripping the steering wheel. Then, "Ugh!" The high-speed motion's caused Alex's stomach to churn, and he stuck his head out the window to vomit.

After a while, Alex finally recovered from the sickness.

"Hurry up! And Drive, Alex! What if that crazy woman catches up?" Pietro patted Alex, urging him impatiently. Although they had left the orphanage, he still wasn't at ease.

"That woman won't catch up anytime soon. Without psychic abilities, the White Queen is like a toothless tiger—not much of a threat." Alex rubbed his stomach. "I feel really bloated right now. Is that normal?"

"It's normal. Most people can't handle high-speed movement, so there will be some side effects. It'll pass soon, don't worry." Pietro explained but kept glancing back towards the orphanage, clearly still uneasy despite Alex's words.

Seeing this, Alex didn't hesitate and quickly started the car, driving away from the town along the main road. "For now, you should wear this helmet. With this on, President X won't be able to track you, and we can destroy the mutant prison unnoticed."

"Got it, boss." Pietro finally sighed in relief once they were out of sight of the town.

"But you'll need to tell me as much as possible about the secret mutant prison. We don't have much time. War has already broken out on the other side of the world. We need to fan the flames before President X reacts. Our next actions need to be even quicker."

Alex said this while handing Pietro a propaganda leaflet he found in the car, left there by some flyer distributor earlier that morning.

The flyer clearly stated that the border situation had become out of control and that other countries had sounded the horns of war, creating the impression that another world war was imminent. At the top of the flyer was the symbol of the Church of the Next Generation. It seemed that the person distributing the flyers was coincidentally a member of the church established by Emma Frost.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you everything I know, as long as you keep your promise," Pietro glanced at the flyer before crushing it and tossing it aside. Having lived two lives, Alex deeply understood the importance of intelligence. If he wanted to accomplish these nearly impossible tasks, information would undoubtedly be his greatest asset.

For instance, with Emma Frost, if he didn't know her abilities or hadn't gathered more information about her in this world, he wouldn't have been able to take the helmet from her, let alone face President X.

Similarly, breaking into the mutant prison and releasing the prisoners inside required more intelligence. The security of the mutant prison was one concern, but the prisoners themselves were a double-edged sword.

If handled well, they could help him achieve his goals. Handled poorly, they might tear him to pieces the moment he freed them.

This was definitely not the scenario Alex wanted to see, so he needed to gather more intelligence before taking action. Fortunately, the journey to Texas was long. Based on Pietro's firsthand experience in the mutant prison, Alex had a general understanding of President X's secret prison and knew many internal details.

For instance, the warden of the mutant prison was a man named Fisk, a giant over two meters tall, weighing over 400 pounds, and with a body made of mostly muscle. This Fisk was most likely this universe version of the villain Kingpin from Spider-Man and Daredevil. It was surprising that the notorious New York mob boss in other universes had become a warden here. Alex was taken aback by the news, but it also made sense in an unexpected way.

As for the prisoners in the mutant prison, Pietro remembered each of them vividly. There was a man named Summers, who, during his mutation, accidentally killed his family with laser beams from his eyes. Subsequently, his eyeballs were removed and he was imprisoned in the mutant prison.

Then there was a female prisoner named Kitty, known along with Pietro as the "Twin Stars of Escape" in the prison. Pietro relied on his super speed, while Kitty had an even more formidable ability—she could phase through objects by converting her body to a molecular state. Her ability to phase through objects was so strong that no one could kill her unless they forced her to become tangible, like trapping her underwater.

For her, escaping prison was usually a piece of cake, but unfortunately, during one escape attempt, her power failed while passing through a cell bar, resulting in her merging with the iron bars.

Another similar case was a man named Armando, whose ability was to automatically mutate to adapt to his environment. However, during a fire, he was buried under a collapsed building. By the time he was rescued, he had fused with a piece of rebar and lost consciousness, falling into a kind of "coma."

Then there was a guy named Kurt, isolated in a separate cell. Unlike other mutants, he was a beast-like mutant. This kind of mutant was typically influenced by their beastly instincts, becoming bloodthirsty and frenzied, eventually turning into a real beast. Kurt was no different. His appearance was demonic, with the power of teleportation, theoretically a very strong mutant ability. However, he had lost all reason and become a wild, feral creature.

Listening to Pietro's account, Alex felt a mix of emotions. Cyclops, Shadowcat, Darwin, Nightcrawler... In another universe, these were celebrated heroes.

Taking a deep breath, Alex gestured for Pietro to stop talking. He turned on the car's stereo, needing some music to soothe his heavy heart.
