[Comprehensive Anglo-American] The First Mutant

Howard paced back and forth anxiously after hanging up the phone.The young man named Phoenix said that as long as the phone is connected, he will come to pick him up if he doesn't need to answer it?How to pick it up?He shouldn't have misunderstood what he meant, right?

God knows he was absent-minded during the afternoon meeting.It wasn't much fun at first, but now it's even more boring, and he's practically counting the seconds until it gets dark.Then I entertained a few useful delegates, and maintained an unbelievable Howard Stark state until I returned to the room...

"Oh!" As soon as Howard turned his head, he saw the white-haired young man he had met in the afternoon standing behind him.

Quietly, he didn't know when it appeared.

"Don't be nervous," the young man said with a smile, "I'll take you to meet him."

Howard put his hand on the young man's outstretched hand, his foot suddenly loosened, and the next second he stepped on it firmly.It seemed that his eyes were blown by the wind, and they closed and opened again, and they were outside.

The round moon hung in the sky, and the wind was a bit strong but not cold. Howard looked around and found that they were standing on the roof opposite the hotel where he was staying, and his room could be vaguely seen from here.

"I'll keep an eye out there, and if there's any movement, I'll send you back." Phoenix said beside him.

Howard had already felt footsteps behind him, when he suddenly realized that Andre was right behind him.Instead, he didn't know what to do.

In the afternoon, he had thought a lot about what to say and what to ask... There were so many things he wanted to ask.

In the end, when I actually saw him, those things didn't seem to matter anymore.

"Long time no see," he said, "how are you?"

"Howard..."

Zero took a step forward and stopped.

Theoretically speaking, reunion after a long absence should have a warm hug, but Zero is a bit unclear about how to express "enthusiasm".Hugs, hugging other people can feel weird too.

It was Howard who saved his embarrassment and stepped forward to hug him.Zero raised his head and saw Phoenix smiling at him not far away.He slowly raised his arms and put them behind Howard's back.

"Long time no see, Howard," Zero said softly, "I'm sorry."

Joining the army together, performing missions together, he came back, and Robert...

"Robert will be very happy to see you!" Howard said, patting him on the back.

zero:? ? ? ?

Zero almost thought Howard meant you should go to hell and see my brother.

Howard felt Andre froze suddenly, a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Robert... is he still alive?" Is that what it means?

"Do not."

Zero's expression was a little blank.

Howard sighed, and the excitement just now calmed down a bit, "He passed away 16 years ago, and I pulled him out of the pile of dead people... He only had half his life left at that time."

"He told me to find you," Howard held Zero's arm, "because he didn't realize that the intelligence was wrong, and asked you to take your team there. He didn't die after the explosion, but he could only watch you Taken away... He had both legs broken and shrapnel lodged in his lumbar spine, he couldn't save you, Andre. He wouldn't have done that if he could."

Zero nodded numbly: "I know."

He looked at Howard, whose eyes were full of tears, clenched his fist so that his nails dug into his palm.

He remembered the young man named Robert Stark.His best friend, the past is vivid in his memory, but he can't feel it... He can't be like Howard, when he is sad, tears flow down involuntarily.

Too far……

He touched his eye sockets and found that they were still dry.

Really too far.

He could only think of the man in his distant memory, and said softly, "He must be very sad to wake up. Sorry, Howard."

Sorry, after Robert woke up, until he died, it was because he lived in double pain of body and mind.

Howard frowned, and took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on his face, "You don't need to apologize, Andre, you... you have been..."

Howard noticed the expression on Andre's face, which was dull and dull, which did not belong to Andre Kony.

"Sorry." Looking at Howard's expression, Zero took a step back, "Something happened to me, and I just remembered something from the past... I can't react, sorry."

Zero looked nervously at Phoenix, who seemed to understand what he was thinking, and came to him in a blink of an eye, standing behind him to stop his body that couldn't help but continue to retreat.

"It's okay, Zero," Phoenix rubbed his arm, comforting him in a low voice, "It's okay."

Zero grabbed his hand and shook his head in embarrassment.

There was a short-term excitement before, but it was only when we met that Zero realized that he couldn't do it.

What would it be like for normal people to reunite after a long absence?Long time no see, long time no see... I'm recently, I'm recently... Do you remember XXX... let's have a drink together, okay...

And he...

Phoenix's hand was still warm.

But Zero's hand was like a dying person, trembling and cold.

Howard was a little overwhelmed, he saw that Andre seemed to be in pain now, and his proximity would intensify his pain.

"I'll tell him for you, don't be afraid," Phoenix grabbed Zero's ear to hold him, then touched his face, and told him, "It's okay, Zero."

Why is this man called Andre Zero?

Where did he go when he was taken from the battlefield?what an accident...

Phoenix pulled Zero behind him and said to Howard: "Mr. Stark, Zero is still not used to it now. If necessary, I can tell you everything."

"Please tell me," Howard said, and looked away from Andre again, "You never have to apologize to me, Andre, we are friends."

Phoenix walked up to Howard, raised his hand, and reminded him: "It may give you a little headache, but it won't really damage your body."

Howard was a little puzzled, but he still shook his head and said firmly, "It's okay."

Phoenix reached out and nodded between Howard's eyebrows.

The Stark Brothers were unlike anyone Zero had known before.They are not real brothers, and there will be no shadow of "Kony".But emotionally they are like brothers, especially after Andre and Robert joined the army, the relationship between them is not inferior to that of family members.

Due to practical reasons, Zero may no longer be able to use the name of Andre Koni, and more likely, he will not be able to return to his home.So if you can, at least leave him a relative.

Howard was stunned for a long time, roughly reading Zero's memories of the past 20 years, and was speechless for a while after it was over.

But what he knew very well was, "It will be like a miracle to me to see you again, Andre."

At this time, he just wanted to be selfish, never mind the past of Agent Zero, anyway, you wake up again, let the past pass by!

"Thank you," Zero's performance was still a little awkward, "I am also very happy to meet you."

Anyway, come back, everything will be fine.

Howard said: "You may not be clear about it. The department I am currently working in was previously committed to combating Hydera's forces. After the death of the Red Skull, we all thought that Hydera was broken up."

"It's just scattered underground," Phoenix shook his head, "Zero and I are located in the original European branch, and they have bases in many countries, including the Soviet Union, South Africa, East Asia, America... I don't know the exact location, but by chance Heard them mention it."

"This is very important information," Howard said solemnly to Phoenix, "Thank you."

Not only information, but Andre was brought back and cured.

Andre's memory is very important, including not only the location of Hydera's current base, but also an important message-Sergeant Barnes is still alive!In the hands of Hydera, he became the former Andre, and became a super soldier similar to the captain!

"We have to take action," Howard bit his finger. He just thought of something, but then changed his words, "I can't get the news from you, I have to think about it."

Howard wouldn't tell anyone he was alive unless Andre wanted to.And Phoenix, he's good enough, a powerful mutant who's still been Hydra's nightmare for as long as he's been dormant.It's just that his origin is a mystery. They currently only have two contacts, the same friend and the same enemy.It could even be said that Andre trusted him more than himself... Howard didn't want to drag Phoenix into the water at the risk of Andre breaking with him.

Phoenix didn't have so many scruples. He rubbed the finger that just touched Howard's forehead, and said indifferently: "If necessary, I can help you and your organization within a certain range."

"We reject human experiments, completely, and I personally hate this kind of behavior," Howard assured, "I can say that you are my informant, and I won't reveal too much information about you, but I can tell you a part of us. of."

"can."

Howard noticed that Andre had been looking at Phoenix well while he was talking.In the part of the memory he saw, Andre showed a strong degree of obedience to Phoenix, and he didn't know if it was a good thing.

"Then Zero and I will go to the United States to find you in a while? Or wait for you to contact us?" Phoenix asked thoughtfully.

"If it's convenient, I have some of Andre's things. You are welcome to visit my house at any time, and then take them away." Howard said, looking at Andre nervously.

Phoenix is ​​also looking at zero, and he personally doesn't care.

"We have to tell Charles and the others." Zero said with some embarrassment.

"Well, let's make arrangements here and then go find you."

Howard breathed a sigh of relief.He thought that when he went back, he would find a reliable medical team to give Andre and Phoenix a full-body examination again.They have never been to the hospital since they came out, it is really big hearted.

"I'll get you another identity document?"

"Not for now, I've fixed it."

"Ok."

Howard carefully asked them about their current life and made sure that they really didn't need his help, so he left with some reluctance.It is said that someone called him... He was carried back to the room from the top of the building in a second. After getting rid of the big stone in his heart, he was really curious about the power of Phoenix.

Is this magic?Or inject something?Or mutation?Humans at this time still know too little about the mutants hidden among them.But at the same time, for various reasons, such as Captain America, people are more tolerant of some existences beyond their cognition.

Phoenix didn't teleport back directly with Zero, but walked back slowly with Zero under the night wind and lights.

The streetlights elongated the shadows of the two, because they were very close together, and they seemed to be one. It was strange, but also very intimate.

"Just now, I felt like a freak." Zero whispered.

Phoenix said frankly: "I have blurred some of your emotions in Hydera."

"I feel it," Zero said dully, "the memory of the past is more vivid, and Hydera sometimes seems to be in a dream. Many things, if I don't think about them deliberately, they seem to have left me."

"But I'm not talking about Hydera..." Not only Hydera, but all of them.

Because of the kindness and sense of justice in my heart, if I don't know that they happened, I can't really let them go.I can only keep running in every day, and then I don't care about the pain in my body, only my heart...

"The knife stabbed someone to death. We should judge the knife holder instead of breaking the knife. The same weapon, in the hands of an upright person, protects others, but in the hands of a villain is a murder weapon. You didn't have a choice then, but you have now. .”

"But I don't want to leave you." Ling Shen said.

Phoenix stopped, looked sideways at the handsome young man beside him, and said, "If being by my side can relieve your guilt, then you don't have to leave."

"Can I heal myself slowly?" Zero asked softly almost to himself, asking Phoenix and himself.

"I believe you can," Phoenix said, "though sometimes the past can feel like a burden, and there are memories we wish hadn't happened, but we can't. Everything that happened in the past made you who you are. My words , I will try my best to make it not happen again, the past can be remedied, and what can’t be remedied, I bear it and find a way to appease it, until my heart no longer bleeds because of it.”

Zero seemed to want to say something, but looking at Phoenix's gentle eyebrows, he couldn't help being timid.

In the end, I could only say: "Phoenix, I will cure myself."

Never feel guilty about the past again, become the true perfect zero weapon, when...

At that time...

Can you stop chasing me away?

The author has something to say: I will not say that I forgot to set the time for the manuscript box, hahahahahahahahahaha

In the next volume, we are going to go to S.H.I.E.L.D. to play Kou Hang
