Chapter 370: Chapter 370: The Cold Current that Affects the Climate
Quickly, under Susan Storm's telekinetic influence, Pietro and Lorna flew steadily in mid-air, returning to the previous training ground. Peter Parker was the only one who returned with them as Barry Allen had gone to the Kent farm to seek help from Robert and Kara.
After all, among them, Peter Parker with Thor's hammer and Barry Allen were the fastest. With the hammer, Peter Parker was the strongest. In the face of unknown enemies targeting Pietro and Lorna, Peter felt it was better to stay in case the enemy attacked in his absence...
"What happened? Are they injured? Who did this?" When Johnny Storm saw Pietro and Lorna floating back unconscious, he was momentarily confused, then angrily turned to Peter Parker and Susan Storm to ask.
"I don't know. We found them like this; they must have been through a big fight, but the thing is, their wounds seem to have healed already, and the enemy is nowhere to be seen, only this bloody feather was left behind..." Peter Parker shook his head helplessly, pulling out the blood-stained feather and speaking softly.
"From the wounds on their bodies, this feather must have been the attack that pierced Pietro's chest, but there's no wound visible on Pietro now. If it weren't for the marks on his clothing, you wouldn't be able to tell he had been pierced by this feather..."
"How could they suddenly be attacked?" Johnny Storm's eyes flashed with confusion, murmuring softly, "And it happened exactly when they were alone. Is someone targeting us?"
"Hmm?!" Hearing Johnny Storm's words, Peter Parker's heart sank, and he hesitated before asking, "When you were here alone before, did you notice anything unusual?"
"Not really..." Johnny Storm shook his head, understanding Peter's point, which made him even more puzzled, "Right, if being alone is dangerous, I was alone before and nothing happened. Maybe the enemy was injured while attacking Pietro and Lorna?"
No one could answer the doubts in the minds of Johnny Storm and Peter Parker. The observer, The Ancient One, had already left, and with Wanda urging her to hurry, The Ancient One couldn't keep loitering. Even if she were still there, The Ancient One wouldn't step forward to reveal the truth...
Because doing so could make Peter Parker and the others doubt the authenticity of the danger next time they encountered it, potentially causing complications. It was better to let Pietro and Lorna think this power boost was a result of their own hard efforts!
On the other side, Barry Allen quickly headed towards the Kent farm. Being part of the small team that mixed with Robert and Kara, they knew more than people like Tony Stark, especially about Robert's true identity and his living details.
With Barry Allen's speed, he soon arrived at the Kent farm, but he didn't see Kara or Robert there. After some hesitation, Barry still knocked on the Kent's door.
"Who are you?" Martha, hearing the noise, looked out the door with some confusion and asked Barry Allen.
"I'm Barry Allen, a classmate of Robert and Kara. I'm here to find them urgently. Are they home?" Barry explained hurriedly, not wanting to delay.
"Classmate? Robert hasn't been back these past few days, and Kara was here a while ago..." Martha nodded in understanding, reassuring Barry softly, "Don't worry, child. What happened? Come in and talk slowly, I'll contact Kara for you..."
"Thank you!" Barry Allen was anxious but didn't rush Martha as he entered the Kent home, waiting for her to contact Kara.
Martha's method of contacting Kara was straightforward, by shouting, just as Clark had a special sensitivity to his family's voices, so did Kara to those closest to her.
As for why Peter Parker and others' voices hadn't attracted Kara's attention, it was simply because their voices weren't high enough in priority, and they hadn't mentioned Kara before, plus Kara had been busy...
"Martha! Martha is calling me!" In an underground cave, Kara patted Robert's solid back and hurriedly shouted out.
"Hmm? I'll go back first to see, clean up and follow!" Robert's expression changed, he quickly stopped, left a message, and disappeared in a flash, with the ability to transform, Robert changed clothes incredibly fast. Concerned that Martha might be in danger, Robert did not delay and flew towards the Kent farm while releasing his sensing powers.
"Hmm? Barry? What's he doing here? So, it's not Martha who's in trouble, it's Barry's group?" Soon, Robert noticed Barry Allen, murmuring with some confusion while expanding his sensory range.
"Pietro? Lorna? What's going on here?" When Robert expanded his sensory range, he also saw Pietro and Lorna floating unconscious in midair, but he was even more puzzled because Robert noticed that
Pietro and Lorna were not showing any signs of weakness, but their life force was getting stronger!
"Barry! I'm back, I'll go check on Pietro and Lorna first..." Upon discovering the situation with Lorna and Pietro, Robert didn't head straight home but towards where Pietro and the others were, telling Barry Allen he'd check out what was going on first.
"Robert!" Hearing Robert's voice, Barry Allen immediately felt more at ease, as in Barry's view, Robert had healing powers that could solve any problem Pietro and Lorna had!
"Martha, Robert is back, I'll go help first, I won't bother you anymore..." Thinking this, Barry Allen didn't stay any longer, vanishing on the spot.
"Wow, such fast speed, and he has superpowers too, he looked so quiet..." Martha, watching Barry disappear, murmured in surprise.
"That's not so strange, anyone who can get along with Robert and Kara naturally isn't ordinary, maybe he's an alien too!" Jonathan chuckled, shaking his head and softly speaking, "But the more such people there are, the less noticeable Robert and Clark will be, drawing less attention..."
"That might be difficult, considering he came to seek Robert and Kara's help. It looks like Robert and Clark's powers might be quite prominent among these extraordinary beings..." Martha pondered a bit, feeling a bit melancholy, "I hope their identities are discovered later; although the Savage Island lacks nothing, it's still not a normal society!"
"Let's hope so, if that day comes, we have no other choice, after all, we can't be a burden to the kids, can we?" Jonathan sighed with a sense of melancholy.
"Martha, are you all right?" As Jonathan and Martha were reflecting, Kara appeared before them, showing concern.
"We're fine, your classmate Barry Allen came looking, saying it was urgent. Robert hasn't returned, he went straight to help, do you want to go help too?" Martha looked at the concerned Kara and smiled contentedly. Although Kara and Robert weren't officially together, in Martha's heart, Kara was no different from her own daughter, especially knowing that Kara also considered her family.
However, this was without Martha knowing about Diana's existence on the other side of Earth; if she knew, it's uncertain how Martha would react...
"I won't go over, I saw them..." At this moment, Kara's gaze also found Pietro and Lorna. Although she was somewhat worried, Kara stayed at the Kent farm because of what The Ancient One had told her before. She was concerned that someone might have noticed something unusual about their family, but Kara had been secretly observing her surroundings these past few days and hadn't spotted any suspicious characters.
"Robert!" On the other side, when they saw Robert return, Peter Parker and the others also felt relieved. They began to recount Pietro and Lorna's experience, "Pietro was progressing too slowly and lost the motivation to continue training, so he chose to be alone to calm down. Lorna, worried about him, followed him..."
"We don't know what they encountered, but when we couldn't see them for a long time, we went looking for them, and they were just like this, as if they'd been through a battle, but their injuries had already healed..."
"The thing is, Pietro's healing speed is still acceptable, but such a chest injury shouldn't have healed so quickly. As for Lorna, we really didn't know she had such strong healing powers. Oh, and this feather is the only trace left behind..."
At this moment, Peter Parker not only recounted what they knew about Pietro and Lorna's experience but also shared their previous suspicions, hoping Robert could understand more about what happened and deduce the truth.
"Hmm, considering it, their recovery abilities are indeed very strong..." After hearing Peter Parker's recount, Robert didn't find anything unusual about the feather. He looked at Pietro and Lorna and said, "Or rather, their current strength and bodily strength are completely different from before!"
"Ah? Could it be?" Johnny Storm, hearing Robert's words, instantly widened his eyes, incredulously looking at the unconscious two and asked, "Did their powers improve again?"
"Yes, this improvement is even greater than the second enhancement they received after the talisman explosion. Their strength has greatly progressed, and more importantly, their life level and physical strength have been enhanced all around, although this enhancement is just incidental..." Robert nodded with a smile, equally curious as he examined Pietro and Lorna, but unfortunately, he was also unfamiliar with the powers they now displayed.
"So, they're not unconscious due to injury, but because their abilities are enhancing and their bodies are being transformed?" At that moment, Barry Allen returned, just in time to hear Robert's words, somewhat speechlessly looking at the unconscious pair.
"Exactly, they were indeed injured before, but as their abilities have
been enhanced, their injuries have naturally healed, so you don't need to worry. When they wake up, we'll naturally know what they've experienced..." Robert shrugged, also curious as he watched Pietro and Lorna. This simultaneous evolution for both seemed too coincidental!
Yes, in Robert's view, what Pietro and Lorna were experiencing was an evolution, evolving towards a more perfect form of life!
After their evolution, Pietro and Lorna would still have their own strengths, but their weaknesses would be addressed. Pietro's bodily strength would no longer be as weak as before, and Lorna would gain some close-combat abilities, no longer needing to worry like Susan Storm about someone getting close to her for a fight...
After discovering these things, Robert felt that Pietro and Lorna's experience was definitely not simple. If it were just a sudden gain of superpowers, that would be normal in this special world. To say that one in ten thousand people in this world might have superpowers might even be an underestimate!
Therefore, in this special world, gaining superpowers isn't too strange, but suddenly gaining an adventure that enhances one's superpowers is problematic because it's just too coincidental...
However, at this moment, Robert, despite his suspicions, had no clues or evidence. He could only wait for Pietro and Lorna to wake up on their own.
Moreover, the current condition of Pietro and Lorna meant that healing magic would not work; only when their evolution was complete could they truly awaken...
While Robert was waiting for Lorna and Pietro to evolve, elsewhere, in Tony Stark's home, Jarvis's alarm suddenly went off: "Sir! A severe cold current has appeared in Europe, and the cold current has already affected the entire climate environment!"
