Talented Flame

Ever since Andy and I untied the headache connection, life felt so good that even the air I breathed was sweet.I finally don't have to stay outside the men's room when Andy uses the bathroom;

It's so happy to go around in circles!

"Iris, don't be distracted!" Lorna yelled, and an iron rod was quickly enlarged in front of my eyes.I squatted down reflexively, spraying flames at the iron rod with both hands. With a "bang", the iron rod broke into two pieces and fell to the ground, with traces of melting at the break.

"Well... Iris, your flame is actually so powerful... This is much stronger than the power of ordinary flames, the temperature can directly melt metal..." Lorna said in a deep voice, "...It's also possible It's because of your family."

I was also a little surprised by this, after all, in my previous life, I learned in school and knew that the melting point of metals is extremely high.But now that he has such an ability, he is really flattered.

This is simply the same skill as "Wang Shui"!

I suddenly had a bold idea...

Lorna saw my wandering eyes, knowing that I was thinking about something messy again, she scolded me a little angrily, and threw another tile.

This time it wasn't facing me, so naturally there was no need to squat down, but I just used fire to block the tiles... After that...

it evaporates...

For a moment I thought my ability was the same as that of the sun, nuclear fusion or something...

Lorna frowned: "This is too simple for you to achieve the training effect." She thought for a while, "You go to the second floor to find John, although he is in charge of adult training, but you are completely qualified .”

John was doing pull-ups on the door frame, and most of the mutants in the room were doing physical training.I walked behind John and tugged at the hem of his coat.

He turned around and saw it was me, so he got down from the door frame, "Iris, what's the matter?"

"Lorna said I should come to you for training."

"Why... is she full?"

"No, it's because..." I walked into the room and picked up a piece of iron sheet. The strength condensed on my fingertips, and a cluster of sparks spread along the fingertips to the iron sheet, like burning paper. All the flames were extinguished, "Luo Na said her training was too simple to achieve results."

"Well... I understand," John clapped his palms a few times, facing everyone: "Let me introduce to you, this is 'Flame'. She will be my assistant to help you complete the training together, and I can talk to you if necessary." she says."

"Who knows if this person is a ghost in the government..." A murmur came out, it was the big fat man who troubled me before.

"I'm really not from the Sentinel Secret Service. I was arrested and rescued with Lorna. And I've been here for so many days. If I was really a spy, you would be in prison by now!"

Although he knew that he was deceived by the Sentinel Special Service, he was still angry at being wronged twice for no reason.Just wanted him to have a taste of the melting point of metals, but was stopped by John.

"Hey! Calm down..." John smoothed things over with a smile, clarified my identity, and proved that I would definitely not be a spy before the training started again.

At the beginning, people saw me as a little girl, so they didn't take it seriously, and they still went to John with any problems.I am naturally happy and leisurely.But John felt that since I came, he couldn't make it easier for me than Lorna's, so he always arranged work for me.For a while, he helped the brother to stretch his legs, and for a while, he cleaned up the exploded radiator for that gentleman. Finally, he asked me to run ten laps around the entire building. Tracking to see if I did enough laps.

Ha ha.

Half a day of training finally ended with me as tired as a dog.

After the training, it happened to be meal time, and my stomach was a little hungry. I was about to eat when I suddenly froze.

Where can I eat?Who to eat?

Before, it was only because I couldn't separate from Andy that I always ate with the Strack family, but now... forget it.

I had to divert myself to the food corner, where I got a box of pasta.

Although there is still a share of food, other things are not necessarily.I looked around and found that there were almost no seats left. After much deliberation, I decided to go to the rooftop to eat, and I can also enjoy the wind.

The rooftop is really a place to relax, with the wind blowing all the time, it's like being outside.

It's just that the fence is a bit too high.

It may be because I have been hiding in the underground organization for a long time, and I suddenly became bored with these iron pillars that looked exactly like the prison door.

I put my hand on the railing, raised the heat, and melted the upper railing.

It gave me a sense of novelty and comfort, and a strange sense of pride.

Now at last nothing can block my sight.

There was such a reckless disdain for the thought that it scared even myself.

The underground organization is hidden in a forest that was once polluted with chemical fertilizers, so it is surrounded by trees.The leaves of the tree are green, but they have no soothing effect, just like the green light that will turn on in the operating room after the temporary rescue is successful.

It is not life-threatening, but the unknown that follows is even more frightening.

I sat on the counter and ate my box of canned goods.

No matter how scared you are, you still have to live.

Even if you come from another world, you have to accept it;

Even if you don't know the prophet, you have to accept it;

Even if you don't want to, you have to live.

for myself.also for...

"Hey. Mind if I share half of the rooftop?"

It's Wes.

"Oh, they took down the railing?"

"No, no," I shook my head, "I did it."

"Oh. It looks better." He sat down next to me and looked into the distance.

"You don't look well," I said, "What's wrong?"

"Oh... nothing, just..." Weiss said emotionally, "Lauren and I had some... um... arguments..."

"It's okay Wes," I patted him on the shoulder, "if you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

"No, actually, I want to say."

"Then I'm all ears."

"Yesterday Lauren told me that her dad got a criminal record," he hesitated, "for a robbery in a jewelry store. No name was written on the report, but the ability was 'fantasy manipulation,' and mine Same abilities."

"Lauren came to ask if I did it...and then...I told her the truth..." Wes hung his head.

"Will you stop explaining to her?"

"She didn't listen..."

"Oh..." I sighed.

"What about you, Iris?" Wes turned to me and asked, "Why are you in a bad mood?"

"How do you know I'm in a bad mood?"

"It's written all over your face."

……

Is it that obvious?

"I'm a little... irritable... about what's happened recently... and the future..." I stared at the cold pasta, "and a little craving for a drink."

"Drinking? Are you serious?" Wes looked at me amusedly, then thought again.Then he got up and walked into the house, lifting a piece of the floor.

There are several cans of dark beer hidden in it.

"Oh, my God!" I took it excitedly, "You are the Jingdong cat!"

"Well... I spent a lot of effort to get this... I wanted to leave it to me and Lauren..." He said a little embarrassed, "But... what is Jingdong cat?"

"Don't worry about that," I pulled the pull ring, and a "bang—" sounded in my ears, which made people feel happy.

"I wanted to say something to honor you, but after thinking about it, I don't know what to say."

"You might as well hope that Lauren and I get back together."

"Okay," I raised my glass to him, "May you and Lauren get back together." I brought the glass to my mouth and took a sip, "It's very bubbly, but a bit bitter."

Wes clinks glasses with me and takes a sip too.

"Tell me, why are people so sad when they are born?" He said to me, "My parents, who have lived with me for 13 years, abandoned me without any shame when they found out that I was a mutant. "

I didn't speak, I knew he needed a listener at this time.

"At that time, I didn't know what to do every day, and I was hungry every day."

"One night, it was very cold, and it rained very cold," he took another sip,

"I was really cold, so I hid under the eaves of a jewelry store, but the boss ran out, beat and scolded me, and insisted on driving me into the rain."

"I had no choice but to walk on the street, and then... I saw you."

"I?"

"It's a photo of you and your parents. It's a wanted reward posted by the police station in the newspaper."

"Was it a bank robber or a prison escape?"

"...You are so calm."

"Hehe, I'm so proud of you." After all, I've seen it myself.

"I just thought: The information about mutants is never published in newspapers, why are there these three people?" He turned his head, "After reading it, I understand that it's because they couldn't catch your family in private. , so the scope was expanded."

"You were so cool in my heart at that time, you directly replaced the position of the e-sports champion." He laughed, "In this way, I became a diehard fan of your family, collecting your information everywhere, and then I joined a The youth mutant group stole seven gold necklaces from the jewelry boss just like you robbed the bank."

"Later when we split, I got one, and I went to the boss and threw it into the sewer in front of him."

"Really?" I asked with interest, "What expression does he have?"

"Of course it's an expression of wanting to kill me and being helpless." Weiss said enthusiastically, "I even made him a fantasy of a clown sticking his tongue out at him."

"It's such an honor, sir," I said, "I never imagined that I would be a key figure in your growth."

I held up the can: "To the unlucky owner of the jewelry store who deserves it."

Weiss raised the bottle approvingly: "Salute to him."

After we laughed, Wes looked at me mysteriously again: "What about you? You're not usually so sentimental, did you quarrel with Andy?"

"What can I argue with him?" I took another sip.

"He cares about you... Actually, sometimes I'm a little afraid of him." Weiss said suddenly.

"Afraid of him? Why?"

"Because...you know...I'm with Lauren, so I can often see him..." He swallowed, "It's usually fine, but whenever I look at you, I always feel that he is behind you Staring at me... Especially that time when I took you to the library, I was so excited that I grabbed your arm, and when I got there, I felt that he was staring at me, but when I looked up, he didn't look at me I."

"How come. Andy is very nice and gentle. Besides, I have nothing to do with him..."

"Hey... If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes!"

"How old are you!"

Then I am two or three years older than you! "

"Then I'm the idol in your life!"

"Yes, yes, you are the ancestor!"
