IMUC Chapter 597 About Lorna

"If you don't come out soon, I'll have to drag you out myself."

Kyle's tone remained as calm as ever, but no one doubted the truth of his words. Under Raina's surprised gaze, the slightly ajar door was suddenly pushed open.

Out walked a red-haired woman in a calf-length trench coat and a silver-haired young man in a parkour jacket suit. They were the two exceptionally troublesome super-powered twins that the Avengers had encountered previously in the Hydra base in the snowy forest.

The sister, the Scarlet Witch, Wanda Maximoff; the brother, Quicksilver, Pietro Maximoff.

Kyle looked at Wanda as she approached and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. Despite his nearly century-long lifespan and extensive experience from Earth to outer space, and from outer space to the Nine Realms, he had seen countless exotic beauties and mythical women.

Yet, Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, was among the top five in terms of beauty among all the women he had seen.

Her features seemed sculpted by the hands of God, with fair skin tinged with a rosy glow and dark golden hair falling lazily over her shoulders. She wore tight leather pants and a sexy top, with her bust partially visible, while her red cloak could barely conceal her curvaceous figure.

If Raina was too aloof and Lorna too domineering, Wanda's beauty was somewhere in between. It combined aloofness and dominance, and perhaps due to being the elder sister, she exuded a captivating female charm that was not devoid of resolute bravery and intellect.

Her appearance, which made other women envious, was further enhanced by her innate and astonishing superpowers, making her deserving of the title "Scarlet Witch."

As for Pietro, the Quicksilver beside Wanda.

Kyle also privately marveled. Pietro had a youthful and handsome appearance, and his almost unbeatable parkour abilities were nearly as impressive as Wanda's talents.

When adding Polaris Lorna, who had magnetic powers…

This family's genes were practically extraordinary. Who were the parents that produced such exceptional children? They must have exhausted Earth's fortune!

While Kyle and Raina observed the twins, the twins were also scrutinizing them.

Pietro's focus was on Raina, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. It was the first time he had seen a woman whose beauty, demeanor, gaze, and mannerisms were on par with, if not surpassing, his sister's.

Wanda, on the other hand, kept her gaze fixed on Kyle without looking away. She felt an unprecedented pressure from him, a pressure that no combination of Avengers had been able to match, keeping her body constantly tense.

Ordinary humans would feel nothing but warmth and familiarity from Kyle.

But those with greater abilities could perceive the true inner strength that Kyle concealed— a power akin to an abyss or a black hole.

Even if she used her full strength, she feared it would be insufficient to affect the man before her.

From the moment Wanda first saw Kyle, she was certain of this. She hesitated for a moment and then asked softly, "How… did you find me?"

Raina tilted her head and looked at Kyle, equally puzzled. As a Mind-Class superpowered individual, failing to sense someone so close was a disgrace for her as Kyle's assistant.

"Your abilities are indeed quite unique."

Kyle smiled and said, "Initially, I didn't notice you were here until I obtained the Mind Stone. The gem subtly enhanced and expanded my psychic sensing, and that's when I realized you were still in the basement."

He paused and continued, "Vision probably sensed you too, but just chose not to reveal you."

Wanda sighed and sincerely said, "As expected of the Symbol of Peace."

"Likewise," Kyle winked. Without the Mind Stone, even he might have been deceived by the Scarlet Witch.

Quicksilver was still brimming with hostility, said warily, "You're with the Avengers, aren't you? Do you also want to deal with us?"

Wanda's heart sank. She knew that with her and her brother working together, they stood no chance against Kyle, especially with Raina present. As for escaping… While her brother could undoubtedly get away, if she tried to leave with him, the situation would be different.

If the Symbol of Peace took action against them, she would have to stay behind to hold Kyle and Raina off, buying time for her brother to escape.

In an instant, Wanda made up her mind, but Kyle's calm voice interrupted her thoughts, "I won't take action against you. If you want to leave, you can do so now, as long as you don't ally with Ultron in the future."

Wanda and Pietro were surprised and exchanged a look of disbelief.

"You're really letting us go?" Wanda asked, half in doubt and half in relif. After seeing Ultron's true intentions, they certainly wouldn't team up with him again.

"If you want to go, then go. Otherwise, I'll have to keep you here," Kyle said with a smile, extending his left hand and pressing down and a tangible pressure enveloped the twins.

"What is this…?"

The twins, enveloped in the pressure, were first shocked, then confused, and finally astonished and eager. They looked at Kyle intently. "The ability you're using… it's…"

"Yes, it's force field manipulation," Kyle said with a calm smile.

"Force field manipulation? How is that possible? That's my sister's ability!" Pietro exclaimed, only to realize he had inadvertently revealed information and quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

"Tell me. How do you have Lorna's abilities? Where is Lorna now? What have you done to her?" Wanda demanded, her eyes flashing with cold fury. 

She raised her hands, and her dark golden hair whipped wildly. Crimson mist, full of magical energy, swirled around her palms, shattering Kyle's gravitational pull, giving the impression she might attack at any moment, even though she knew she couldn't defeat Kyle.

Kyle, feeling guilty, didn't respond immediately. To him, Lorna was both an assistant and a family member. The fact that he couldn't protect her and that she was taken by Thanos's minions was his only failure in his recent journey through the galaxy.

"Don't be rash."

Seeing Wanda pose a threat to Kyle, Raina stepped forward, her eyes flashing with sacred silver light. Powerful psychic waves emanated from her, spreading like tidal waves and covering the entire space of the underground research lab.

Before the two sides could clash, a red and silver energy stood off in the air, clashing and colliding.

"Stop it."

Kyle patted Raina's shoulder, signaling her to release her ability. He looked at the agitated Wanda and said, "Lorna is my…" He hesitated, unable to finish the sentence.

Lorna.

Was she really just a member of the Carl Family to him?

Kyle pondered this question, recalling the days when Lorna was by his side— sometimes cold and domineering, sometimes like a little bird, both a big sister and a stubborn young girl.

According to Tony, on that planet in the galaxy, after even Tony was defeated by Thanos's general, Lorna was the last one standing, all for him, following his command to defend that place.

Could such a passionate and fierce young woman really just be a member of the Carl Family to him?

After much thought, Kyle finally summed it up in a simple and clear statement: "Lorna is someone important to me, someone whom I love."
