A Little Thing in the Marvel Universe

Wanda found it hard to believe these things.Hell, souls, Mephisto, resurrection from the dead, these things don't sound like things that normal people would talk about.Are you kidding? If this were true, wouldn't the whole world be in chaos?

But she seems to have forgotten that she herself is an enhanced person, and her existence itself is beyond the cognitive scope of most of what she calls normal people.

To remind her of this, Belle lightly tapped the coffee cup with her left hand. The coffee inside immediately seemed to come alive, slowly floating out of the cup and turning into a thin stream, flowing around her hand.She deliberately waved her hand in front of Wanda's eyes, and then said: "Hey, our existence is not normal."

Wanda shook her head noncommittally and said, "No matter what you say, bringing Pietro's soul back from hell is too dangerous. I want to save him, but what if it attracts something else? You Aren’t you afraid of the unknown at all?”

"Afraid, but more curious." Belle said, letting the coffee fall back into the cup. "I was also very afraid that I might have disturbed the timeline. When I first found out, I was so scared that I fell asleep for a long time. I can't sleep. But what can I do? Now I'm more curious about how I did it. If I really have the ability to interfere with time, I hope to keep this ability under control."

"If this ability is controllable, it would be a good idea to resurrect Pietro. But hell or something, no."

Wanda's attitude was very determined.She really couldn't forget that it was not the war between Ultron and the Avengers that destroyed Sokovia, but Iron Man Tony Stark who lost his rational judgment and rashly entered a completely unknown territory.Although he has made many achievements in artificial intelligence.However, letting artificial intelligence produce emotions and thoughts is a crazy thing in itself.Tony Stark made a mistake, which led to a disaster that almost destroyed all mankind. Pietro also died in the crisis.With the past so vividly in her mind, Wanda could not accept any dangerous action, even if it could resurrect her only relative.

"So, does our deal fail?" Belle asked.

"You are really suitable for SHIELD. The one-eyed boss talks about deals, compromises, principles and other crazy things every day." Wanda looked a little irritated, "Don't you all understand things like friends and relationships? ?”

"This is the second time we've met, can we be considered friends?"

"At first I thought I could try it, but now it seems it's not necessary."

Belle sincerely feels that her mind has been very unclear recently.To actually want to win over the Scarlet Witch through a deal is simply stupid.Wanda is an emotional person, a very clear-headed emotional person.

"I'm sorry, this is my fault." Belle quickly apologized and stopped Wanda who was getting up to leave, "But apart from trading, I have no other way to find someone who was sent to monitor me for help. no?"

Seeing Belle stopping in front of her, Wanda was a little nervous.

"Hey hey hey, don't be nervous." Belle spread her hands to indicate to the other party that she was not playing any tricks at all. At the same time, she reminded the other party that she noticed that Wanda's right hand behind her back was secretly gathering strength, "I don't want to fight with you, you You probably don’t want to destroy this poor little shop, right? The shop owner’s bank loan may not have been paid off yet. Can we sit down and talk?”

Wanda thought for a while and sat down again.Belle couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Just now, her ability to cover up the voices and movements of the two people was almost destroyed by Wanda's energy.

"I have absolutely no ill intentions. When it comes to resurrecting Pietro, it's not entirely out of transaction." Belle also sat down. "I just think it's unfair. He could have survived, but he died trying to save others." He killed himself. But if he lives, he may be able to save more people. Besides, is the person he saved really worth his life? "

Wanda said nothing, she didn't know what to say.

"With great power comes great responsibility. We live in such a world." Belle continued, her voice rising half an octave unconsciously, "You, me, Iron Man, Captain America, we all have our own The ability to solve problems. However, we do not have the ability to take responsibility. Those who gave us abilities, those who discovered that we have abilities and then taught us to take responsibility, never told us that the ability to solve problems , and the ability to take responsibility are completely different. Pietro was overwhelmed by his responsibilities."

"But in order to resurrect him, it caused a greater disaster. You and I are the culprits, and we have to bear responsibilities that we cannot bear at all." Wanda said, feeling a little excited and her eyes were a little red.

"I believe you are right. You must not go to hell to retrieve a person's soul rashly, so as not to cause trouble that none of us can solve. In the same way, I want to understand my own power and learn to control my power. Otherwise, I might become a problem myself.”

"If you could come with me to meet..."

Before Wanda could finish speaking, Belle interrupted her, "I don't need a mentor or someone to monitor me, but like you said, I need friends."

"You and your little spider friend seem to be getting along well," Wanda said.

"If you are interested, I can introduce him to you." Belle replied.

"I heard that you have been dealing with some minor troubles recently. Maybe you need help from new friends?"

"I thought the Avengers were too busy to care about such things."

Wanda smiled and said, "There are also rookies among the Avengers who are inexperienced and need training."

……

Although there were some twists and turns at the beginning, Belle and Wanda's second meeting was generally conducted in a cordial and friendly atmosphere.They didn't talk much about Belle's abilities. After all, she didn't know the nature of her abilities.

But they agreed to investigate alien weapons together.This matter is actually purely out of Belle's selfishness, because she is afraid.

As she told Wanda, hell is real.What can be called hell is not just a place where devils roam freely because there is no need to worry about energy problems because of the flames of hell everywhere.There are many horror zones that we have never thought of at all, and that even novels and movies are unable to describe. They really exist in the shadows of this world, and recently there is a trend of gradually spreading into the sunlight.

We who squeezed the subway and took buses to shuttle between rental houses and office buildings had never seen wars and smoke filled the air. It was like hell.We have plenty of food and clothing, and can often imagine some indescribable things. We cannot imagine killing for survival, killing for pleasure, killing for justice, or even killing just for the sake of killing. To us, this is hell.

For Belle, who was once an otaku and has now become a rich and beautiful woman through time travel, a criminal syndicate trading site full of sentries and traps, where every enemy possesses alien high-tech weapons, is a complete hell.No matter how glamorous she usually is, no matter whether she has superpowers or not, she is still an ordinary person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.Once something unexpected happens and she has to be separated from Peter and needs to face an enemy who is determined to kill her alone in the dark, she will definitely fall into uncontrollable fear.Fear will drive away reason and cause chaos, and the chaos of a person with unknown superpowers will inevitably lead to disaster.

Therefore, traveling with Wanda is the wisest choice.

There happened to be nothing to do in the afternoon, so Belle took Wanda directly to school to meet Peter.

Campus life is something newer to Wanda than the Avengers headquarters building.There are no high technologies, agents, superheroes and countless secrets. Instead, there is daily life that only seems high-end and grand during the drunken bragging stage, and the joys, sorrows and joys of young people who think they are unique, but in fact they are no different from those of square dancing aunts. .

Wanda loved these.While waiting for Peter, she and Belle audited a course on European art history and bought a mug with the Columbia University logo on it in the school store.The cup was later "accidentally" broken by Tony Stark, and as compensation, he gave Wanda an MIT cup.In Tony's words, the quality is [-] times better than Columbia University's cup.

Unsurprisingly, after Peter saw Wanda, he regarded her as a rescuer sent by Iron Man.He first expressed very excitedly how much he wanted to join the Avengers, and then he swore an oath to all the gods he could think of, saying that he would be able to solve the alien weapons incident and would never let Mr. Stark disappointment.

Wanda whispered to Belle, "This guy seems to be a baby." Then the two giggled together for a while, leaving Peter confused as to which act this was.

It has to be said that Wanda and Belle's abilities can be said to complement each other. Their telepathy is enough to build a small local area network, allowing these three people to communicate at will without speaking, just using their thoughts.While strolling around, the three of them analyzed and evaluated the results that Peter went to the warehouse to investigate last night.It's just that this process is a bit painful. Peter's mind is more flexible than his body, and he can speak at least four times faster with his brain than with his mouth.For a while, the three people's minds were filled with his buzzing voice, until Wanda couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him out of the neural connection.

The last stop before the three set off for the warehouse was a nail salon.Belle suggested trying out what effect black nail polish would have on her hands.Since this activity was not very suitable for Peter, and he was kicked out of the neural connection and unable to participate in the discussion (it is not easy to say this kind of thing in front of others), he made an excuse, saying that he had not eaten enough for dinner. He left first, saying he would meet them both near the warehouse.

Peter's favorite sandwich was only six blocks from his home.Calculating that there was still enough time, he turned around and got into a small alley next to him, took off his coat, revealing the Spider-Man suit he had been wearing inside, and started walking over the walls to Queens.

You are right, the normal idea is to take the subway.However, he is Spider-Man and does not take the subway. On the one hand, he feels that the clothes he wears are too cool and it would be unfair not to show them off. On the other hand, he may want to save some money on the train.

But he was very lucky. Just when he landed on the roof of a certain building, his keen sense helped him detect something strange. Several people were testing some kind of device on the roof of another building not far away. It looked similar to that one. The pile of alien weapons looks so much like them!

Peter quickly and quietly moved closer, close enough for him to hear their conversation, but still able to ensure that he would not be discovered.

"Shouldn't we try this thing in a place with few people?" one person said, and kicked a device like an installed antenna twice, for fear that his accomplices would not know that he was talking about what they had brought. The only thing that needs to be tested.

The other person was probably more knowledgeable and was probably the leader among the group. He cursed and spat and lectured: "Are you stupid? This thing needs to be tested to see if it can connect to the satellite. Why don't you find a high place?" Should I go to your bathroom and try it?"

He cursed a few more times, and then the group of people got busy working in various directions.The machine lit up a few times, bursting out a large amount of sparks, and then actually caught fire.Several people quickly put out the fire, cleaned up the wreckage, and went downstairs to get in the car.

Peter was hiding under the car and heard the scolding voice saying, "Hurry back and report to the boss."

"I got lucky today." Peter thought to himself.
