[Zhongyingmei] At the end of time

After Luna entered Logan's room, she was almost brought to tears by the strong smell of inferior cigars. Logan went to open the window, and the smell in the room became normal after the air circulated.Logan put out the cigar in his hand in the ashtray full of cigar ends, and said to Luna in a muffled voice, "Sit down."

Luna sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Logan's irritable expression as if he was facing an enemy, and wanted to laugh a little out of place: "Do you remember her?"

Logan opened the chair and sat down, but he didn't lie: "I don't remember."

It's just a one-night stand between you and me. If Logan said he remembered, she wouldn't believe it.

Her movements were relaxed, she didn't look like she came to Xingshi to inquire about her crimes, as if she was really a daughter who came to talk to her father: "Did the professor suppress the news back then?"

"No, the mayor of Minneapolis at the time seemed to be a mutant. He suppressed it himself. The professor never does such a thing."

"The professor read my memory?"

"While putting a shackle on your memory, he had to look."

"Did he tell you?"

Logan paused, and subconsciously wanted to get a cigarette, but stopped his movements: "I told you."

"How many times have you talked?"

Logan frowned and said, "Not much."

Logan was fierce in appearance, and when he frowned, he looked as if he was about to hit someone at any time, but Luna was not afraid of him, so she still insisted on asking, "How much is not much?"

Logan sighed helplessly: "Mingzhou, the bar, your mother, Hydra, that's all."

Luna didn't bother with that 'your mother', but asked: "Hydra?"

"Say you were rescued by a man with iron arms."

Luna looked at Logan meaningfully: "Is there nothing else?"

Logan instinctively felt something was wrong, suppressed his bad premonition and said, "It's gone."

There was emotion in Luna's eyes that he had never seen in her eyes: "Didn't the professor tell you that I ran out of Hydra to see my mother?"

"It was 1991, and Anne — my mother — was exactly 18 years old, taking a gap year out of high school and traveling to Eastern Europe with her parents."

"At that time, the Hydra faction had been chasing me and the Winter Soldier, and the two of us stumbled into her hotel room by accident, and she took us in quietly."

"At that time, I had been brainwashed so that my memory was confused, and I didn't know who she was. I lived in her room for about two days."

Luna smiled sarcastically: "She was so sweet and silly at the time, she and I stayed just because we looked alike. I even became friends with her, she knew we might never see each other again, In the end, guess what she told me?"

"She said that if she ever had a daughter, she would name her Luna."

Destiny is so cruel and desperate, it has delicately designed all the processes, like a childish god, looking down on the world from the clouds, watching its chess pieces go through the process it designed, towards the inevitable ending.

"Later Hydra still found us. Anne's parents were all dead in the melee. The Winter Soldier surrendered and she escaped."

Luna's voice suppressed too many emotions: "When I was young, I complained about my bad reincarnation, but why I was reincarnated in a prostitute's house, and now I know that it's because of my bad reincarnation, it's obviously Annie's luck Not good, you just ran into me one after another."

"If she hadn't met me, she should have happily returned to China to go to university with her parents. I killed her parents first, and then killed her."

This is the first time she has told her story to others. She thought she had already read it. After all, those things are already in the past, so when chatting with Batman, she also looked indifferent. It makes sense. Sets.

Lied to myself.

It wasn't until she really spoke out that she realized that she couldn't restrain her emotions at all. The things she thought she didn't care about surged in her heart, as if she wanted to squeeze the heart out of her body.

Logan was so irritated by her tone of "forget it, I don't deserve to live anyway" that she almost stretched out her claws: "It's not your fault, I'm sorry I didn't meet you earlier."

For Logan, it's hard to define whether he can speak or not.When he usually coaxes a woman, he flirts one after another, but he doesn't care about his heart. When it comes to those occasions where he really cares, he can't say anything.It doesn't matter whether you say he is stubborn or stubborn, he is just like this, he looks innocent and unrestrained, but maybe life is too long and he has seen too many things, but his true feelings are all buried in his heart.

The phrase 'I'm sorry I didn't meet you earlier' is the most expressive thing Luna has said since he knew Logan for ten years.

Luna's mood was already unstable at this time, and with Logan suddenly so gentle, she felt more and more like a child who fell down and begged her father to hug her. She said without any choice: "I'd rather You didn't make an appointment with Annie back then. How did you feel when you watched me kill 56 people because of the mutant power explosion, but still have the face to stand in front of people and preach that mutants are innocent?"

She trembled all over, like a wounded little beast, looking at her provocatively and fiercely, but with deep pain in her eyes.

This was the most unacceptable thing after she regained her memory. If the death of Anne's parents could be attributed to Hydra, the deaths of her neighbors back then were inescapable and entirely her responsibility. Fifty-six lives disappeared just because of her one thought, but she has regarded the equal rights between mutants and ordinary people as her career all these years.

As a person who killed 56 lives in an instant due to her ability explosion, how could she have the face to stand in front of the public and tell them that mutants are not scary and you can live in harmony.

She knew that she shouldn't get angry with Logan, and she couldn't blame Logan for these things anyway.It's just that these emotions have been buried in her heart for too long, and the darkness secretly grows in her heart, and those negative emotions have finally swallowed her in an instant.She didn't want to talk to Bucky as her boyfriend, she couldn't talk to Professor X as a teacher, she could only talk to Logan as her father.

Logan got up and sat beside her, hugged her head and pressed it against his chest: "I'm sorry."

What else can he say, this is his daughter, he sees her in so much pain but there is nothing he can do.He was originally a man who would not change his face in front of thousands of troops, but he was completely defeated in front of a girl, full of passion and courage, all of which turned into tenderness in front of her.He can only apologize palely, sorry for not being able to accompany you through those years, sorry for not being able to protect you.

Luna was covered by Logan's warm body, smelling of cigarettes and laundry detergent. She grabbed the edge of the bed with one hand, suppressing her sobbing.

Logan stroked her hair once and for all, thinking, she was a bright little girl when she first came here, and she would innocently look at the professor and smile when she violated the school rules, how did she grow up to be like this in ten years? A distressed look that didn't even dare to cry out loud.

Luna almost lost her strength when she used her ability to return to the normal timeline, and her mood fluctuated too much, so she fell asleep after crying in Logan's arms.

Logan put Luna on the bed, rubbed his brows and feet helplessly, grabbed a pack of cigars and went out.

The next morning, Luna was woken up by the smell of smoke. She sat up in a daze, feeling dizzy as if she had just woken up after a long sleep. It was only when she saw Logan that she remembered what happened the night before.

When Logan saw her wake up, he just said, "Did you wake up? I'll come back and get my textbooks."

Luna's voice was dazed just after waking up: "Did you not sleep last night?"

Logan's expression remained unchanged: "I slept in another room."

When Luna woke up, her mood stabilized.The years of estrangement between the two seemed to disappear last night.

She grabbed the quilt and said: "She was very good to me...she later became that kind of cool woman."

Logan said "En", patted her head strangely, grabbed the textbook and went out the door.

When Luna returned to the apartment, Lily had no class in the morning. She looked Luna up and down and said, "If your father hadn't called to say that you had something urgent to go home, I would have called the police."

Luna smiled and said, "Did you ask for leave for me?"

Lily: "Of course, but you forgot to take your mobile phone when you left. I didn't know the other notes except for answering a call from your dad, so I turned off the phone."

Luna suddenly remembered something, and asked nervously, "How long have I been walking?"

Lily looked at her strangely: "Less than a week...well, six days."

Luna let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, the flow of time on the two sides is different. If she really disappeared for more than a month, her column would not need to be written.

Lily handed her the phone, and the moment she turned it on, the phone froze.She looked at the missed calls first, Peter 7, Harry 12, Natasha 1, Jack 3, Paul 78.

Seeing the number of Paul's missed calls, Luna complained to Lily helplessly: "The person in charge of our column called me 78 times. It feels like I'm about to lose my job. This is really balding."

Lily laughed, and when the two were arguing, Jack called and Luna answered, "I hope you bring good news."

Jack sounded in a good mood: "Why didn't you answer the phone call two days ago?"

Luna said vaguely: "There is something at home."

Jack heard that she didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask, but said: "We plan to do an outdoor live broadcast this afternoon, and give you an exclusive interview opportunity?"

Luna's eyes lit up: "What activity?"

Jack said simply, "Remember that mutant kid who was all blue? He came up with it, and you kids are amazing. We call it Hug Mutants."

The two confirmed the time and place of the event. Luna put down the phone and said to Lily with a smile: "My job should be saved."

While talking, she dialed Paul's phone number, and after being scolded by Paul, she managed to insert a sentence: "An informant told me that mutants are going to hold an event this afternoon, and they are willing to give us an exclusive, I want to do this. "

After discussing with Paul, Lily said casually, "You have such a good relationship with those mutants."

Luna tightened her hand holding the phone, her face remained unchanged: "Maybe it's because I interviewed more mutants so I can understand them."
