I used to believe in science

Before going to work today, Rhett had a premonition that something would be different today.But he couldn't tell if that was good or bad.

This feeling became more and more obvious after arriving at Quantico's building.This made him feel even more uneasy.And this feeling reached its peak when he stepped into the office floor.

When he pushed open the glass door of the office hall, he saw several other members gathering together, even Garcia among them.But neither of them spoke, and they both looked at Rhett when he looked over.

"What's wrong?" Reid froze on the spot, not advancing or retreating, a little at a loss.

"Boy." Morgan beckoned to him, and after he walked over, he patted him on the shoulder like a good buddy would always do. "Now there is a situation, I hope you can stay calm."

"What's the matter?" Rhett's heart sank to the bottom, with a bad feeling, he looked around and asked, "Where are JJ and Hodge?"

"They're dealing with it." Morgan's hand rested on his shoulder, pressing him firmly. "Keep calm."

Rhett wanted to shake off his hand and tell him to hurry up and say what was the matter.But he didn't have time to do this, and the door of Hodge's office halfway up the floor opened.Rhett heard the sound and looked over, first saw JJ, JJ's smile made Rhett a little puzzled, but it shouldn't be a bad thing if she was smiling.

JJ's hand held another person, and after she walked out, that person was also pulled out by her, and when Rhett looked at that person, he felt like time stood still.He lost his breath for a moment until Morgan's hand on his shoulder clapped hard.

"I can understand your mood now, boy, we have already experienced it once." Morgan said in his ear.

"That's..." Reid asked puzzled, wanting to ask his friend for advice.

"Yes, that's her, Netty is back."

No other words from Morgan since that sentence entered Rhett's ears, and for a moment only Antoinette was left in his world, and she came down the stairs, walked up to them, smiled at him, and Say "Hi."

"Hey, you're back." So Rhett said too.

"Yes." The other party tilted his head and blinked his eyes. "Because someone told me that he wanted me to come back soon, so I came back."

"Have you solved the problem yet?"

"I found some ways, maybe not perfect, but enough for me."

Ten years later.

Reed took his seven-year-old daughter and sat down in the back seat of the car, then turned to put other things in the trunk.His daughter is well-behaved and cute, focusing on the tablet in hand.

Today is a rare day off, he made an appointment with JJ's family to go on a field trip together.

Rhett wondered when he had arranged everything and another person who was supposed to catch up with lunch hadn't shown up.So he looked at his daughter and said softly, "I'm going to see my mother, can you stay here by yourself for a while?"

"Okay, Dad." The girl who inherited her parents' brains nodded obediently, keeping her eyes on the tablet while writing and drawing.

"Pay attention to your eyes, don't get too close." Reid looked at the posture of her daughter who was almost bent and stuck to the tablet, and asked uneasy.Then she left with peace of mind after seeing her daughter straighten up and distance herself from the screen.

"Niti, aren't you alright?" Reid greeted as he opened the door, but before he finished speaking, the lunch box lying not far from his feet stopped him forcibly.

Immediately afterwards, he saw his wife kneeling on the ground, so he quickly walked around the sofa, squatted down in front of his wife, carefully held her arm, and let her lean on him.

At the same time, he noticed the unnatural stiffness of Antoinette's left hand.Rhett was half panicked by this, and the other half had a sense that the day had finally come.

A year after Antoinette returned to Earth to rejoin the BAU family, Red decided to woo her.It was a matter of course. In the second year, they held a wedding in Washington, formed the current family, and lived a stable life after that.

Antoinette didn't know what method to use. When she came back, she looked like a [-]% ordinary human being, just like she used to be.There was a time when she was pregnant and everyone was worried about what harm the child would have with uncontrollable powers.But when she successfully gave birth to that lovely girl, after all kinds of tests, she was just an ordinary human child, without magic, without mutant genes, only the excellent brain inherited from the genes of her parents.

Rhett had been wondering what Antoinette was referring to as an 'imperfect solution to the problem', and worried about the dire price it would entail.And the better things are now, the more he worries about the price he might pay in the future.

"I'm fine." About 2 minutes later, Antoinette, who was leaning on his chest, took a long breath, and the arm that was stiff as a rock before could move, and she leaned on Rhett's knee to make herself sit upright , the voice was as calm as before, and the sudden onset just now could not be heard at all.

"What's that?" But Rhett didn't let out a sigh of relief, he didn't move, and his tone seemed to be clear.

"That's... the Wall of Origin." Antoinette sighed, and didn't try to hide it too much, because she expected that sooner or later there would be such a conversation between them, and Rhett, her family, did have the right Knowing her situation "When I left the earth... I went to wander in the universe for a long time, and I reached the wall of origin, which is a huge stone wall... You can say it is the edge of our universe. Anyone who tries to touch Or anyone who goes through it will be assimilated and swallowed by the wall of origin, I found that it can hold all powers, including the phoenix... so I locked myself in it, and only separated the 'Antoinette Stark' human Part...but in essence we are still connected, this part of the human being and the identity...so the wall of origin is assimilating 'me'. When my body becomes fully a part of the wall...all of me will be assimilated."

"That means you will die." Rhett was a genius, he made people understand Antoinette's meaning quickly, and this truth made him feel heartbroken.

"Everyone is going to die, Rhett, up to a hundred years." Antoinette said, she turned her head, put her hands on his face, and comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry, I still have many years, maybe even Wouldn't it be nice to outlast you guys and eventually I'll die like a human?"

"..." Rhett didn't speak, he leaned his forehead against his wife, and sighed after a while, "We should go, the child is still waiting."

"Oh, she's been obsessed with the homework Tony designed for her recently, I guess she won't feel how long it's been." Antoinette was dragged by Rhett to stand up, and then said jokingly.

Bruce opened his eyes.He was still standing in front of the mirror, and the only figure in the mirror was wearing a tailored suit, looking his best.

He turned his head suddenly, and the person beside him was still shrouded in black mist, his face could not be seen clearly, and his image was not even reflected in the mirror.

Bruce didn't know who this mysterious person was, he just appeared in his room so abruptly when he changed his clothes, and easily spit out his uneasiness "Do you want to know? Those Antoinette Stark Possible futures? The ones where she's with people who trust her."

Of course Bruce couldn't restrain his curiosity, not that there was any possibility of repenting now, but he was still not sure whether his decision was the best ending for Antoinette.And now he had a chance to see those different possibilities for himself, so he nodded.

So he had the dream just now. In the dream, Antoinette was not with him. She chose her colleague in the FBI, the man who wholeheartedly believed that she had nothing else to ask for.In that future, they will have a smart daughter, and Antoinette will eventually live and die like an ordinary person...

It made the huge gap create some bitterness in Bruce's mouth.He heard the people around him thinking, "In different possibilities, she chose a completely different path. She could choose to give up Phoenix completely, but she doesn't here."

Of course she didn't, and that was all because of herself.

Bruce thought, looking at himself in the mirror, thinking sadly that even to this day, he still can't fully trust Phoenix.And Antoinette hopes that one day he will be able to accept the whole of himself.

"Are you here to humiliate me, to remind me that there are people who can do things I can't?" Bruce demanded.

However, that person hid deeper into the shadows. "I found that things always have both good and terrible sides. A small difference can make a big change. In the end, no one can be sure which is the best."

...no I'm not here to judge anything, I'm just remembering a great start and saluting it*. "

"Treasure all this and save the judgment until the end, Batman." Finally, the figure dissipated in the black fog, leaving only the last voice lingering throughout the room.

"Hey, Bruce, are you okay? Alfred asked me to remind you not to miss the time." Dick knocked on the door and poked his head in cautiously. He was also wearing a well-tailored suit and held a flower in his hand. Delicate red roses.

"..." Bruce took a last look at himself in the mirror. His makeup was exquisite, his sideburns were neat, and everything was the best, so as to ensure that he was in the perfect state to meet his bride today.Then he turned his head, nodded to his adopted son, and strode out of the room.

"This is what Alfred asked me to give you." Dick caught up with him. He didn't understand why Bruce acted as if he had made up his mind, but he still handed over the well-cut rose.

Bruce nodded to him, took it and put it in his chest pocket.

Today is his wedding, and all his relatives and friends are waiting for the newcomer to arrive. This is a scene that cannot be regretted, and Bruce never intends to regret it.

He knocked politely on the door of the upstairs preparation room.

When he pushed the door in, he heard Tony complaining in the room, "If I knew that your deal was like this, I would never agree to it."

Tony definitely said it on purpose for him to hear, because when Bruce walked in, the uncle stared at him like ten thousand reluctances.

However, Bruce ignored the unintimidating sight of death and looked at his bride "Is everything okay?"

His bride, Antoinette, turned around, and the white fishtail of the wedding dress dragged on the ground, causing layers of waves due to the movement of turning around.Then he saw the blue eyes behind the veil narrowing into a smile. "How do I look?"

"Perfect." With all the rhetoric out of his barren tongue at the moment, only this one word can form in Bruce's mind.

He thought that one day, he would let go of all his guard for her, and this day would not be too long.
