[Comprehensive Anglo-American] The First Mutant

Later, Phoenix took Tony, Charles took the black-haired mutant, and Zero and Raven, a group of six people, four sentient ones and two unconscious ones lying sideways, returned to Zero already The residence of the buyer.

It has been reported to S.H.I.E.L.D. at this time, and some special agents will not be added for protection at this time.The six mutants live together, which is convenient for management and feels more secure.Howard greeted Phillips and Kate, and they agreed with him.

The three-storey villa with a loft that Ling bought in the suburbs is French-style. The exterior maintains the original classical style, and the interior has been redecorated. When entering the house, you can see warm lights and decorations.Zero noticed that Phoenix was also looking around, his expression looked much more relaxed, no longer the gloom of the afternoon, and he was secretly satisfied with his previous work.

"There are rooms on the second and third floors, but Phoenix and I have to take care of little Stark. Apart from our two rooms on the third floor, there is only a small room connected to the study." Zero hugged the sleeping Tony and said to everyone. .

I don't feel anything wrong at all, and don't worry about the two unconscious ones, the proposal is approved.

"Okay, Eric may wake up around seven o'clock in the evening, go to rest first, and I will order takeaway?" Charles is also tired today.

"The phone book is under the phone table, you can do whatever you want," Zero eagerly wanted to talk to Phoenix, "Phoenix, shall we go and see the room?"

Phoenix and Charles talked about Tony's origins, and Zero, as his apostle, also felt it, but couldn't hear it.Thinking about talking to him, Phoenix patted the young man's head and walked upstairs first.

There are only three rooms on the third floor of the villa, two large and one small, one of which is still free with an attic. "There is a reserved exercise room in the basement, which can be used as a game room, or open up the attic to make a greenhouse. The sun is very good at noon. I Guess you'll like it."

Phoenix flicked his hands and walked in front to listen to him. The rest of the room was one big and one small, and the big room was irregular. Except for the small bathroom, two beds, one big and one small, were opened in two directions.

The small bed is a normal single bed, but because the big bed is too big, it seems a little small.

"The children's room next to it is for little Stark. We live here. Because the direction is different, as long as the weather is fine, the little bed will always have sunlight. If you want to rest upstairs during the day, you can sleep here. At night, when you open the curtains, there will be moonlight Go to the big bed. If he's not feeling well, let him come here so you can take care of him, and I'll go to the small room."

Phoenix listened and opened the so-called children's room. The bookshelves on one wall are full of story books, and on the other side is... a snack cabinet?There is a set of round tables next to the window, which is cute, but the so-called "bed" is bigger and softer than a reclining chair...a reclining chair?

"Your children's room..." Phoenix squinted at Zero.

Zero shook Tony's hand, and said seriously, "I'll change it tomorrow."

Phoenix let out a "huh" and actually wanted to say it was kind of cute, but Tony probably wouldn't like it... Whose children's room would be like this.

"Move the snack cabinet to our room, and then replace the small bed and the books in the bookcase, it should be fine," Phoenix said, "The big bed is so big that we can sleep together without being crowded, no If so, you can buy it again."

Zero's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Let's do it tomorrow, let's do it today, put him down and I'll pass on the information to you."

Telepathy is a very convenient superpower. Phoenix didn't want to replace Zero to figure out what to do, and Tony's own memory was disordered, so he simply passed it to Zero and let him think for himself.

As a result, Zero remained silent during dinner—his master suddenly had an extra son, and this son was not the master's own.Frankly speaking, Zero can't understand at all, why does he value so much the person who has continued his own energy?

They are all people who have continued their energy, he is an apostle, how can that kid become a relative?

Could it be that they are both apostles?

No, no, no... Zero suddenly fell into unprecedented chaos, but he couldn't show it, he... wanted to!Tolerate!live!

After dinner Charles asked Raven to babysit Eric.The little girl knew that they were going to discuss Stark, involving Hydra, and she couldn't help.Relatively speaking, she is competent to take care of a comatose person.

The three of them just opened the room, facing a strange red eye.

Also red, Phoenix's eyes are always stable and peaceful, while Stark's eyes seem to have flames flowing.

"I don't feel him at all now," Charles said.If the eyes couldn't see it, then Charles would just ignore him - like he was just a dead thing.

Tony looked at them silently, not daring to move or think about anything.Not only because of Phoenix's reminder, but also because he himself felt that he had reached the edge of the cliff, and with a little more thought or fluctuation, he would fall into the abyss.

"I sent Tony some general information, time and so on," Phoenix said to Charles and the others, and then said to Tony, "Don't output too much, so as not to overwhelm you. Now tell you the real situation."

Phoenix walked up to Tony and put his hands on both sides of his temples, "This will make sure you understand what I'm saying, and you can think a little bit, but for the safety of both of us, don't think too much."

"Thank you." Tony closed his eyes.

In fact, he should be thrilled to know he's back in the past where nothing happened.But now, he doesn't even have the right to be excited... he doesn't dare to have any emotions.

"First of all, the reason why he came here is the core of the mech he equipped. What they call the infinite gem is actually my energy crystallization-don't ask me why it split out, I don't remember. I don't know the universe What happened in the movie, but when it reached Tony, the Infinity Stone thought I was in danger, so it exploded with energy. You know my Nirvana, which can save my life and reshape my body. Energy crystallization has no wisdom, it I only know that there is danger, so I keep giving energy so that you can’t die and let you regenerate. But you are not me, so you can’t control this power, so its regeneration is also based on the premise of keeping you alive, and it regenerates at will.”

"So... I will always be like this from now on?" Tony knocked on his chest, and everyone could hear the sound of "dongdong" hitting the hollow metal.

Of course, there are more unspeakable problems, so Tony won't talk about them.Thinking about how I appeared like this, probably everyone saw it...

"In a way, you're a mutant, Mr. Stark."

Tony paused for a moment, then said "Yeah".

Phoenix pressed his head hard with his hands, and continued: "But your mutation is incomplete. In theory, you can switch between a human body and a mechanical body, but because your spirit can't bear it, the mutation is stuck. gone."

Phoenix probably had a similar conversation with Charles in the afternoon.At that time, Charles felt that he had something to do with Tony, and now he understood everything.

He was keenly aware of the crux of the problem, but he didn't speak immediately. He sat aside and listened to Phoenix continue: "There are two problems now: first, your mutation must be completed. You are now a bit like the Wolverine in your memory , but not only the bones have turned into metal, but the internal organs have also combined with the machines built into the mecha, and they have completely replaced your internal organs."

"That's why Charles can't feel you, and I can feel you because of the Infinity Stone. I guess you already feel that you can get part of the energy from the air."

"I thought it was because... I installed something to isolate superpowers on Infinity Mark." Like the sentinel skin.

Thinking of the truth about the Sentinel's skin that he later discovered through the information, Tony couldn't help feeling weak.

【Calm...】

Phoenix's voice came from his head, and at the same time he said, "Partly because of this, and partly because you are not human."

His joke wasn't very useful, but Tony twitched his lips in a dignified way.

"In order to survive, you have to absorb energy, just like you need to eat. Energy deficiency will limit your physical health, mental growth and use of abilities. Here comes the second problem, your mental instability, you cannot absorb too much energy. Otherwise, you will explode inside and out, and Nirvana will not be able to save you in time. This is a dead end involving each other."

"You can't rely on Phoenix to help you suppress your spirit all the time." Zero took a pillow and stuffed it behind Phoenix to make him sit more comfortably.

Through Zero's hand on his shoulder, Phoenix heard Zero say to him in his heart: [I feel your energy is declining, and your spirit is also very tired. 】

【don’t worry. 】Phoenix smiled at him, and explained to Tony: "Because the Infinity Stone has merged with you, it keeps you alive, but it belongs to me. My energy will naturally recover and grow naturally. If it senses me, it will want to come back .When you die, I will fall into a deep sleep because of digesting these powers. In addition, I can't keep myself weak for a long time. When it reaches the critical point, my body will think that I am in danger and need to sleep. And you, the result of long-term suppression is After getting out of control, it got worse, and your spirit can't stand fluctuating again."

"So the mental recovery depends on you, Mr. Stark," Charles said, "and the mental recovery and mutation promotion must be carried out at the same time, so as to avoid new problems caused by unbalanced development."

"Yes. But you don't have to think about it... stop," Phoenix frowned. "In fact, before you woke up, Charles and I probably discussed how to restore your spirit."

Phoenix would help him, Tony knew.

Just as Phoenix is ​​very friendly to him under the influence of "blood", so is Tony.If it weren't for objective conditions that prevented him from thinking, he would be very interested in studying this "blood" connection.

But Charles?

This mutant, who later had the strongest telepathic ability, once tried his best to promote the friendly relationship between humans and mutants, but was pushed further and further away by humans.After several twists and turns, he was deceived and used by humans and mutants, and finally died in his hands.

From the eyes of Phoenix and Charles, Tony could see that Phoenix told Charles this memory.He knew that later Charles, in the hospital bed, wanted to kill him because he was hypnotized, but he stopped after he woke up.It didn't cure him, but it didn't kill him either.

Later, Charles.

"He's always been like this," Phoenix said softly in his head, "And we're changing the future, Tony. 】

Change……

Yes, countless times, Tony has thought about changing countless times.In his crazy fantasies, more than once he thought about how to change, and more than once he delusionally wished that everything would return to the original point.

Now, isn't it the opportunity?

When it comes to professional issues, Phoenix finally doesn't have to speak, and concentrates on maintaining Tony's spirit.Tony was a little fascinated by this strange, drug-like lightness.But he also knew that all this was only temporary.

Charles said: "Because you must have certain mental activities to absorb energy, we imagine selecting some nodes of inner peace for you, building a spiritual barrier in your spiritual world, and putting these nodes in. What needs to be explained is that for Maintain the stability inside the fence, the 'you' inside can only retain a small part of memory, and every day, the nodes have to be replaced. Because we can't find your stable long-term safe zone, there are too many memories in your head that you imagined , messy, and incoherent, we must ensure that the nodes are real, so that your inner peace of mind is unfailing."

"The so-called small part, how small is it?"

"Probably just common sense."

"In this way, I can only keep a few hours of memory every day? And the memory will be emptied, in fact, there is nothing?"

Tony got a little emotional.Of course, no one can treat this kind of "solution" calmly.

"Calm down, we're discussing." Phoenix squeezed his hands slightly, trapping Tony on the bed.

Remembering that Phoenix's spirit is still "attached" to his head, and that he would not be able to stay awake if not for this, Tony couldn't help but feel even more discouraged, and asked in a bitter tone: "Can't I continue to develop at a stable point?"

"This is equivalent to creating a second personality for you, and it is easy to generate self-doubt. The new personality reverse hunts the original personality or self-destructs, which is very dangerous."

"So it's okay?"

"Two personalities must trust each other subconsciously and have a stable relationship, otherwise the third, fourth and fifth personalities will be habitually formed, and the fence will not let go." Although he disagreed, Charles still explained seriously, "With your current mental state , It takes a certain amount of time to produce a second personality, and you still have to change nodes every day to find the age with the most stable mentality and the most suitable personality for development. What is certain is that this age is under 15 years old. "

"I can feel that Jarvis is there, can I use it as a link to communicate with my second personality?"

Charles could only look at Phoenix, who nodded and said, "Yes, but it needs energy. At the same time, starting Jarvis itself requires a lot, a lot, a lot of energy. After all, it is... well, artificial intelligence."

"I can only install part of the functions, and then install all of them when the energy is enough," Tony felt a little bit, and finally showed a little happy look, "Hey, it turned into an uninstalled state, and it probably called me for this before. .”

The three "ancient people" all have blank expressions. Even geniuses like Charles and Zero don't understand what artificial intelligence is. They only know that it is powerful, powerful, and dangerous—such as Ultron.

Charles looked at Phoenix again. After a difficult conversion, Phoenix hesitated and said: "It is indeed possible. If it is integrated with you, you will feel how much it can be installed. It consumes more energy than you absorb. You'd better just stop."

"Okay!" Tony said firmly, "I choose to create a second personality."

Phoenix tilted his head slightly, a little confused: "It is almost impossible to forcefully destroy the personality after it is born. You have to fully adjust it, destroy the fence yourself and merge him. It depends on how long you can recover. If it takes a long time, even if you occasionally Being able to appear in front of us, most of the time, the second personality replaces your life, and you will be distracted by him, why bother?"

"That's the safe way, Phoenix," Tony said. "If I succeed, I'll come back. If I fail, the second personality will live instead of me. No matter which personality, it's actually me. If I fail, I know you have a way to make me I will let Jarvis help him and let him digest me. A healthy new personality is like a brand new machine. I don’t think there is anything unacceptable.”

"You can see it." Charles felt that his impression of Tony had been refreshed.

"The important thing is that I can exist freely, no longer be troubled by fantasies, and study and think freely and heartily. Since I am a freshman, I can be reborn more thoroughly." How precious is peace.For Tony, everything can be recreated, as long as he is himself, as long as he can think.

The so-called genius is not his various inventions and creations, but himself, which is actually a treasure!

"So it's settled?" Tony asked the two "doctors" with Phoenix's hands on his hands, "Create a new personality, adjust him, and then start a new life?"

"...Yes." Phoenix sighed, surrendering to the bold future humans.

Charles also nodded and said: "Then start the next step. For the stable development of the new personality, his specific age and personality need to be determined, and background memory needs to be set...Phoenix, tell Tony, I heard our guest woke up."

Phoenix nodded, and the witty Tony waved his hand at him and then answered: "It is to rationalize everything and prevent me from having self-doubt, which will affect the stability of the spiritual world."

"Yes, but did I say that you try to use your brain as little as possible at the moment, you are wasting my energy."

"Sorry dad."

"I feel like I'm going to be hollowed out by you..."

"You can't say that casually."

Phoenix: ? ? ? ? ?

zero:……! ! ! ! !

[Just kidding, Phoenix. 】Tony reached out and held Phoenix's hand. It was strange. He didn't understand telepathy, and Phoenix didn't take the initiative to connect with him, but he was able to communicate with Phoenix.

Phoenix can feel Tony's various emotions, and Tony can also vaguely feel the emotions that belong to Phoenix.

He is actively changing everything, and he looks confident and confident, but in fact, he also has his own confusion and loss.The current Phoenix, the former Tony, are the same at this point.They will only bury these negative and negative things in their hearts, and they are unwilling to speak out, and they do not want to worry the people who care about them.

[Thank you,] he said, [and sorry for my arrogance and arrogance. 】

Phoenix lowered his eyes slightly, and it was hard to say "it's okay", he could only say: [It's all over. 】

In that time and space, he had already died. In the secret information of Hydera that Tony later consulted, he died together with the energy body called the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.

[This is a new beginning. 】

The author has something to say: This chapter is so painful for me. I finished writing it, but I rewrote it after thinking about something wrong. I feel that I should explain the ins and outs. If there is anything wrong, everyone is welcome to discuss it. -Although it feels like everyone has nothing to say to us, 囧rz

Personally, I think this arrangement is in line with the setting. As mentioned earlier, Tony’s spirit is very unstable. This is just an expansion of his PTSD in the original work, because here he experienced more setbacks than in the original work. . .How to put it, Tony is working hard for what he thinks is right in the original work, at least for now, there is nothing wrong with it.But here, after he had gone far, he suddenly realized that he had taken a wrong path, and he could no longer turn back. This should be a great blow to a proud genius.When he wanted to turn back, there was no one around him to accompany him, people called him Lord Stark

Of course, this is also to prevent the reborn Tony from changing too much history, otherwise he will know everything, come here and kill all the villains, then this article can be over, 囧rz
