"Good night Lorna, have sweet dreams."

"Good night, Angela."

The two didn't chat for long after that.Although Angela found that Lorna had a stronger affection for her after telling Lorna that she was also an orphan and suffered from mild mental problems. However, the night was already quiet, and Angela would continue to study complicated products tomorrow, so she had to Lorna was forcefully dragged upstairs and stuffed into the guest bedroom.

After some time, Angela was woken up by another knock on the door.She sat up from the bed in a daze, not knowing what time it was. She only noticed that the summer cicadas outside the window had stopped chirping.She turned her head and saw Lorna standing cautiously in the doorway.

"Angela, I really can't sleep. Can I sleep with you tonight? Just this night."

"Okay, as long as a few nights." Angela yawned, casually dealt with it, and then fell down.

The next day, in the morning when the birds were singing happily, Angela's eyes were opened by the refreshing aroma of cooking, and she saw a figure busy in front of the stove.After she finished washing up happily, she walked to the kitchen.

"It's great to have you." Angela let a piece of warm bread fly directly to her mouth, "I want to give you a raise, and I want to hire you as my bodyguard."

"You still need someone to protect you." Lorna sat down and looked at Angela with wide eyes, "It seems that you are not only able to control metal, your ability is much stronger than mine."

"As they say in Kung Fu movies, there is no distinction between superior and inferior in martial arts, only those who practice martial arts are strong and weak." Angela said while eating, "I am very weak now, and I only use fancy tricks. "

"You must be stupid and don't have enough imagination." Lorna raised her eyebrows, "Do you think I rely on brute force to get around? Absolutely not. One time, a group of high school students wanted to rob me, and I just picked it up. I picked up a wooden stick and yelled Expelliarmus at them, knocking the iron stick out of their hands, and then frightened them a few times. They really thought I was from Slytherin and wanted me to join their family. Be a big sister.”

"Then our little wizard becomes a powerful godmother?"

"Who cares about those Muggles? I got some benefits and ran away."

"Your performance is flawed, Lorna. How could a Slytherin use a disarming spell? Didn't they just use Avada Kedavra when they came up?"

"This is a stereotype, Angela. Who taught me yesterday not to generalize?"

"I learn so fast. Well, it's my fault. There are good people in Slytherin, such as Lorna Dane who likes to use disarming spells. Can I say that?"

"But what you said makes sense. Maybe next time I should say I'm in Hufflepuff."

"There won't be a next time, Lorna."

After some fun, the gift shop officially started its first day of reopening.

"Welcome, please take your pick." Whenever the pleasant wind chime sounds, Angela will warmly greet the customers.Lorna sometimes makes what she wants in the studio, and sometimes carves mottos or names on gifts according to the guests' requests, but more often than not she goes behind the counter to chat with Angela.

After get off work hours, there were more and more customers in the store, and Angela also lost her curiosity about this new career and stopped greeting every customer.She wants to focus more on getting familiar with each product. There are still many gifts that she only dares to sell according to the price on the label, and does not dare to bargain with customers.However, due to constant "harassment" from Lorna, the progress of this work was not fast.

When it was time to close the shop, Lorna invited Angela to go for a walk by the river.And Angela finally waited for the opportunity to be alone, and "bombed" Lorna out alone.

"Come back before nine o'clock. If you need anything, call the store." Angela threw her phone towards Lorna when she stepped out of the store.Lorna happily let the Nokia circle around her body several times before putting it into her pocket.

Lorna returned with an injured pigeon in her hands.

"Angela, you are a doctor, save it quickly"

"Lorna, I'm not a beast." Angela wanted to refuse, but she couldn't stand Lorna's big watery eyes, so she had no choice but to take the little white thing.

"Oh, my God, both wings are broken. What happened?" Angela used her power to float a stream of water in the air and wash away the blood on the white pigeon's feathers.

"After it hit a drone, I saw one of those things come down one by one." Lorna raised her hand and clenched her fist in an aura.

"Don't be extreme, Lorna. Birds living with humans in cities are not fools. They will know how to avoid those things."

"Okay, I will listen to you in everything. Can you save it first? It's still bleeding."

"Lorna, I'm sorry. I think it's too late for me to learn pigeon anatomy and we don't have the medical equipment we need."

"No, Angela, think of a way. You can control everything, right? Why don't you try to press its wound first?"

"Okay, I'll try." Inspired by Lorna, Angela tried to wrap the little pigeon with the Phoenix Force.She first vaguely detected the hundreds of broken blood vessels under the cortex, and used her power to tie and close them.Then he rolled up a thin stream of water from the bottle and carefully wiped the wounds on the wings.Fortunately, Angela's ability can be stored in this living body like it is attached to a light bulb or a mobile phone without her deliberate control. Angela was able to concentrate on the next step after completing the previous step.

"I know, Angela, you can definitely do it. Your ability also has an effect on living things." Lorna saw the ups and downs on the pigeon's chest gradually become smoother and regular, and she praised in surprise, "I'll look for the thin wire." , maybe I can use it to suture the wound."

"Don't leave yet, Lorna." Angela raised her head, "What did you just say about me?"

"I said your ability is also useful for living things." Lorna looked at Angela's blurred eyes in confusion, "Haven't you noticed it before?"

"Living things" Angela thought thoughtfully. She had been focusing on the debridement and didn't think about anything else.Now being reminded by Lorna inadvertently, she began to analyze another branch of her ability.

"Perhaps my vision, hearing and other senses have been strengthened. It is not a side effect of the Phoenix Power, but the power attached to the corresponding tissues and organs, strengthening their functions. So can this power strengthen other cells and tissues? Does it affect other living beings besides me?" Angela thought to herself, unconsciously reaching out and stroking the smooth feathers of the pigeon.Its body was soft and bouncy, which reminded Angela of her first time doing an animal dissection.At that time, she held the fat toad in her hand. It felt like she was holding a balloon that could grow bigger and smaller on its own. It felt great in her hand.However, after piercing the toad's foramen magnum with an awl, it seemed that some breath really escaped from its body, and then it lay there like a deflated balloon.Now, Angela could vaguely feel that there was a similar aura in the pigeon's body. Although it was weaker, it was still beating like a candle in the wind unwilling to be extinguished.She thought of the poor toad again. The normal operation was to pierce the metal needle into the skull and destroy the brain tissue, allowing the toad to die painlessly.The angle she inserted the metal needle seemed wrong, and it finally got stuck in the toad's brain.The strongest boy in the class took a lot of effort to pull out the awl.She always wondered if she had caused it to die in intense pain.

"I want to save it." Staring at the little life in front of her that was still struggling to breathe, a strong idea arose in her heart.Wisps of dazzling light like smoke emitted from her fingertips, and the blood vessels on her hands also glowed with rose-colored fluorescence, outlining clear veins.This was the first time she released the Phoenix Power outside her body, and the ever-changing flames poured into the pigeon's body along her fingers.Angela was extremely excited at this moment. She discovered that although the Phoenix Force could not fully automatically control the circuits of those electronic devices, it could fully automatically control various functions in the living body.

She didn't know how she ordered the more than ten kinds of coagulation factors, but she could clearly feel that countless fibrins were rapidly connecting to each other, gathering into a messy but tight network at the damaged areas of blood vessels, and the shearing force of the rushing blood The force caused the platelets to aggregate and coagulate on the Internet to form thrombus; she didn't know how she controlled the complex immune system, but she could actually feel the numerous white blood cells chasing the bacteria like watching children playing in the park; she didn't Knowing how she strengthened the proliferation of muscle cells, I could only feel that the fibroblasts were proliferating rapidly as if they were against the rules of the cell cycle, and the granulation tissue grew wildly. The wound shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and oozed out. Collagen fibers sutured the wound; she didn't know how she activated osteoclasts and osteoblasts, but she only felt that there didn't seem to be much change at the broken long bone.

"Oh, by the way, bone growth requires stress stimulation." Angela opened her hands and used gravity in the opposite direction to pull the bones.A few seconds later, the little pigeon stood up with fluttering wings. Except for some blood stains and a few bare skins on its body, it was no different from a healthy pigeon.Those lost feathers will soon grow back.

Lorna watched Angela's magical operation with her eyes wide open and her mouth wide open. She didn't react until the white dove spread its wings and leapt from the table, flying happily around the room.

"Angela, what is that coming out of your body? Are you really a mutant? Are you really human?" Lorna's face was full of surprise, "You can't really be an angel, can you?"

"Guess, little Lorna." Angela felt that Lorna at this moment was no different from those middle school students who believed in the existence of wizards. She laughed happily and let the power of the Phoenix emit from her back to form six wings made of light. "Which one of the twelve archangels do you think I am?"

"" Lorna's expression became even more exaggerated. Her eyes kept changing angles to look at the light wings behind Angela, but she couldn't say a word.

"No, you are really thinking about this problem." Angela smiled even more happily. She put away the Phoenix Power, pulled Lorna close to her, and confessed to her: "What you just saw is my true ability. , don’t think about anything else.”

"You, you, you, you, you" Lorna said in shock, "If you are so powerful, why do you stay in this humble shop? You can go directly to the street and pick up a patient in a wheelchair. , let him walk as fast as flying, let people around him exclaim that you are the Son of God, and let people all over the world look up to you as the Holy Spirit."

"Are you serious, Lorna?" Angela frowned, "You are already 20 years old, what are you thinking about? That's not how the world works. I suggest you read less of those books."

"Then why did you leave the hospital? Even if you don't want to expose yourself, you can still use your abilities quietly, have a smooth life in the medical industry, and live a good life." Lorna regained some sense and asked a reasonable question .

"Alas" Angela sighed, stretched out her arm and let the dove land on her palm, "As I told you before, my ability has only been awakened for a few days. If you hadn't brought it back, I wouldn't have done it. Knowing I can still do this I want to keep him, can I, Lorna?”

"Of course, why do you want to ask me if this is your home?"

"This is our home, Lorna. What do you want to call him?"

"Is he a male?" Lorna happily ran into Angela's arms and looked at the white dove. "You rescued him. Please give him a name."

"Well he broke his wings and flew again. I want to call him Icarus."

"The sound of Icarus gives me a ferocious feeling. I think it's more like the name of an eagle than a dove."

"Really? This couldn't be better."

“Would you rather have a dove or an eagle?”

"Lorna, you will understand. Peace is the noblest vision, but in order to achieve it, you must fight for it."

"It's just a name for a pet pigeon, why is it so profound?"

"Haha, let's not talk about this anymore. Will you still sleep with me tonight, Lorna?"

"No, no, you are too strong. I'm afraid you will have nightmares and crush me to death."

"With you by my side, I won't have nightmares." Angela raised a wicked smile on her lips, teasing the person in her arms.

Lorna pushed Angela away like a frightened deer and ran upstairs.

"Don't run, Lorna" Angela let Icarus fly and followed.

Lorna floated up and broke into the guest bedroom, then turned the door lock twice.

However, things like locks were of no use to either of them. Angela opened the door, and Lorna escaped into the master bedroom without her noticing.

"Remember to brush your teeth, Lorna" Angela shouted, stopped messing around, and fell asleep on the bed.She felt that her spirit seemed to be a little weakened due to the leakage of the Phoenix Power.

The next day everything was the same as yesterday. Although Angela recognized all the goods, she still had to organize and rearrange the purchase plan, so she let Lorna go out alone again.

This time, Lorna picked up a snake.

"Throw it away, Lorna, it will eat Icarus."

"Angela, aren't you a medical student? I want to make a cane and let it be wrapped around it. When the time comes, you can go out with the snake cane. What a wind!"

"Lorna, the ancient Greeks believed that the cry of snakes was like the kiss of the gods, and your idea is just as outrageous as theirs more than 2000 years ago."

"Then I'll raise it myself, so I look more like a Slytherin."

"Will you feed it to the Animal Control Bureau? My daughter picked up a snake from somewhere. It seems to be a venomous snake. Can you come over quickly? The address is here."

"Angela, no." Before Lorna could stop her, Angela had already hung up the phone.

"I'll bite you." Lorna put the snake on the counter.Of course, the snake had several metal rings around its body, so she wouldn't really let it run wild.

However, to her surprise, the snake seemed to have no interest in the other three creatures in the store.He crawled directly to the ground, snaked to the door, and curled up obediently.

"It's strange, it was so arrogant when it attacked me just now." Lorna suddenly thought of something and turned back to look at Angela.

"Hmm, you guessed it right, I can control it." Angela sat there sorting out the contents in the notebook without raising her head, "I can also see through its eyes, oh, by the way, I can borrow Looking through the eyes of Icarus, I can see the roaring magnetic field of the earth that you mentioned. It is indeed spectacular."

"Can you do this to me too?" Lorna's tone was trembling.

"I can only control some low-level animals now," Angela smiled. "Although I don't think so, my ability obviously believes that your brain is not weak enough to be at the same level as them."

"I won't be surprised if you do anything incredible again, Angela." Lorna also shook her head and smiled, "By the way, don't call me your daughter again."

"You sound a little unconvinced." Angela raised her head curiously.

Lorna didn't answer, her hands glowed green.She broke off the metal rings from the trembling copper-spotted adder, then twisted them into several sharp needles, which were suspended and rotating in front of her.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Angela lowered her head and hesitated.

On the third day, Angela finished everything.But she was still lying on the chair alone, for no other reason than that she just wanted to be quiet for a while.

Lorna brought back a cat.

"You finally brought some normal things." Angela sighed as she looked at the person and cat at the door of the store.

"It's so cute, Angela, you won't refuse this time," Lorna teased the furry lump in her arms and approached the counter.

"Okay, let's raise it, if you like it." Angela stood up and stretched out her hand to stroke it.

"Great what are you going to call it?"

"Well, I haven't raised a cat before. Well, since Lord Lloyd Webber who created the opera Cats is named Andrew, let's call him Andrew."

"Andrew is too old-fashioned. I'm going to call him Garfield."

"Gafilona, ​​he's not fat at all."

"He will gain weight. After all, he is orange."

"Then let's each take a step back and call him Andrew Garfield, okay?"

"Hurrah"

"Poof" the kitten suddenly spit out a piece of plastic.

"Hey, did you pick up someone else's cat?" Angela picked up the mysterious object and looked at it, "This seems to be his nameplate, with his owner's contact information on it."

"No, isn't it supposed to be hung around your neck? How can you eat it?"

"We have to return him." Angela couldn't bear to see Lorna's disappointed expression, picked up the landline and dialed the number above.

"Hello"

"Sorry to bother you, sir, but I think we picked up your pet cat."

"Oh yes ma'am, thank you so much, I've been looking for it all over the world"

"My name is Angela Ziegler and we run a gift shop across from Rucker Park on West 155th Street. You can stop by anytime, sir."

"Thank you again, Ms. Ziegler. My name is Nicholas Fury, and I'll see you later."
