Dr. Warren is a little busy

Ashe closed her eyes, even the most basic sight is a labor-intensive task for her now.However, Ashe didn't hear the footsteps of Harry leaving as she expected, the room was still terribly quiet, and she gradually began to accept the status quo that she was about to die.

Aixi suddenly felt that she still had a lot to do. If she was about to die right now, she would undoubtedly leave behind a lot of regrets. If the resentment in her heart could be turned into flames, it might be able to burn Norman in just a moment. Osborne burned to the ground.Maybe she should sign a contract with some demon or ghost at the cost of her soul, and die with Norman Osborn.

But she hoped that she could leave peacefully, otherwise how would she go to see her parents in heaven.

"You won't die, I can't let you die." Harry's voice was still a little trembling, but it was extremely firm, "If you die, my father will really be in a situation where there is no redemption."

Ashe opened his eyes and looked at him, his green eyes were filled with mist, and his beautiful face was distorted by pain.

"You can't give him redemption. The moment he decided to do this, he has already stepped on that road." Ashe looked at him, and said in a hoarse voice with great reluctance, "I only hope that you are here in my life." After death, I can tell my brother that I love him very much, and I hope he will live a good life."

Harry's tears finally flowed, and he hung his head, but Ashe could still see his contorted face.

"All this has nothing to do with you, you go. Let me enjoy a moment of peace for the last time."

Harry looked up, mournful, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "At least tell me your name."

It's just the name, it doesn't hurt.There was nothing wrong with him, but he had to struggle so painfully between exposing his father and keeping him a secret because of himself, she couldn't bear to refuse this small request any longer.

"Ash Warren."

Ashe gave Harry one last smile, then closed her eyes quietly.The cold test bench under her body no longer caused her severe pain, in fact, all the pain in her body seemed to have disappeared.

Harry left, and from the sound of his footsteps, Ashe could hear his gait being unsteady, even a little staggering.He was just an innocent person passing by, and he shouldn't cast a shadow that would affect his life because of this incident.Ashe even started to regret telling him her name.

Tranquility descended again, and Ashe could even hear her strong heartbeat and gentle breathing, but none of these could conceal the fact that she was getting closer and closer to death.This may be the reflection of the light, so she can be sober without pain.She was very afraid of entering that unknown world, but she tried her best not to shed tears. She really didn't want to leave a terrible corpse with an ugly appearance to the world because of crying.

Ashe couldn't help but began to recall her life like every dying person.She found that not only had she not achieved much, but she had even left many unfinished business.She didn't get along with her brother for long, so she had to leave him alone again.She kept making Uncle Hank and Professor Xavier worry about her, and she had to make them grieve for herself at the end.There are also her few friends, she used to close herself, but they are still willing to get close to her.

And Bucky, his last sentence contains countless possibilities, and she hasn't been able to explore them one by one.If this hadn't happened, she might have had her first love affair.

But it was too late.

Just like the snow in spring will always melt, the flowers will wither in the cold winter, every drop of water in the Thames will flow into the sea, and you can’t look back at the place where you were born. There are always some things that even God cannot stop or reverse.The god of death will always come, she can only accept her fate, and then return to this beautiful but regretful world in another way.

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, and the soul to the God who gave it.Let the sleepers rest in peace, and let the living be liberated.

Ashe recited these words silently in her heart, praying that heaven and hell do exist in this world, so that one day she can reunite with all the people she misses in her heart.

But Ashe didn't wait for Death, but saw Osborn first.

His face was extremely ugly, and it was still faintly green, and the violence in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Seeing Osborn like this, Ashe even began to feel happy in her heart.She shouldn't have endured so much pain and suffering in vain, and she hoped that Osborn would get the retribution he deserved.

"Why! Why is it useless! The degree of mutation and ability of your body has clearly developed to the peak, and the extraction and processing of the serum is no problem, why doesn't it work! Why do I still look like that!"

Ashe almost wanted to laugh out loud, Osborn spent a long time trying, but it was useless, this was probably God's greatest punishment for him.

He will carry his incompletely mutated monster-like body until death, but it's a pity that Ashe won't see his sad appearance.

Osborn was almost insane. He grabbed Ashe's neck viciously, leaned down and leaned close to her cheek, and said, "I should kill you immediately, anyway, you are useless. You are a useless piece of trash , I should find a more powerful mutant to continue my experiment."

Ashe didn't respond, she looked at Osborn's red eyes coldly, and only felt that he was pathetic.

And even more tragic is her own.

Although he is a monster, what is wrong with what he said?She's just useless, she's just a weak mutant, not only is she useless and weak, but she's always acting as a drag.However, all this is coming to an end, and she will find her final peace and home at this moment.

But God doesn't seem to intend for her to die now.

The blue light appeared for no reason, as if tearing apart time and space, it suddenly appeared in the air, rapidly expanding with the momentum of devouring everything, as if directly moving a space into this cold laboratory.The sudden appearance of a series of familiar faces made Ashe's whole body tremble.

Osborne was thrown across the room by Hank McCoy in Beast form just a second later, and Logan rushed after him.

Following them, the Winter Soldier, in his battle gear, did not take part in the battle between Beast and Wolverine, but came to the test bench where Ashe lay.His dark circles were extremely heavy, his eyes were bloodshot, and the stubble appeared again.The expression on his face was terribly cold, but Ashe saw the complex emotions in his eyes.

Ashe couldn't help laughing, and the tears that had been accumulated for a long time kept pouring out from the eyes that were narrowed because of the smile.It's as if Bucky is always taking on the role of saving her, in different scenarios, over and over again.

Bucky took out his dagger, cleanly cut off the leather cord that bound Ashe's body, and stretched out his hands to hold her in his arms.His hands pressed tightly to the nape of her neck and back, as if he wanted to suffocate Ashe in his arms.But Ashe felt some liquid dripping on the top of her head, like the first raindrops in spring, abrupt and light.

Ashe had already lost all her strength in the endless torture, she could not speak, and could hardly move.Her breath was filled with the familiar breath of Bucky, and she fell into a coma again.

Ai Xi didn't know how long she had been in a coma this time. She was in a drowsy sleep, and occasionally she would wake up consciously, but she couldn't always open her eyes.She didn't know what the drugs Osborn had been injecting into her body again and again, but they must not be anything pleasant.

After Ashe struggled countless times on the ground, she finally saw the real world again.The ceiling is pasted with light yellow wallpaper with elegant patterns, and the chandelier is in the shape of a flower made of glass, and the light bulb is wrapped in the petals, which is a popular style in the last century.

This is Ashe's bedroom at X Academy.

Ashe rolled her eyes with difficulty, and found a head covered with curly brown hair lying on the bed.She stretched out her hand and gently touched the curly short hair. The cool touch brought by her fingertips made her finally sure that she was really alive.

Holt, whose hair was touched, finally woke up. When he raised his head, the blank expression on his face made Ashe laugh.

"Ash, my little princess..."

Holt didn't go on, he took off his black-rimmed glasses, covered his face and began to cry, as if a child who failed a test was scolded by his mother, feeling aggrieved and sad.

Ashe realized that her abilities seemed to have returned, but there seemed to be something different.Her perception of Holt's emotions was much easier than before, as if it was her innate instinct, and she didn't need to deliberately control it.And as soon as the idea of ​​"I don't want to make my brother so sad" appeared in her mind, Holt put down his hands and looked at her.

"Baby, you just woke up, don't use your abilities for me." Holt's expression was extremely complicated, "You need to take a good rest for a while, and rest wholeheartedly."

Ashe frowned slightly, she didn't want to use the ability, she almost just had that idea just now.

"How long have I slept?"

Holt helped her up, put a pillow on her back, and handed her the water glass.

"It's almost the second week."

Ashe was a little surprised that it took her so long to wake up.She found that her voice was normal, and her throat and lips did not feel dry and uncomfortable, which was not like a patient who had been in a coma for many days.

The seemingly unreliable brother just seems unreliable, but he is still very reliable at critical moments.

She put down the glass and took Holt's hand.She is a little restless now, and always feels that there is something that needs to be understood urgently, but she can't figure it out. She needs the strength of others to calm her mind.

"Have you been here watching over me? What about your work?"

Holt held Ashe's hand tightly, looked at her disapprovingly, and said, "Nothing is as important as you, my little princess, I could hardly hold on during the few days you disappeared. There is a The guy with the steel arm contacted me and the mutants shortly after your accident. I quickly searched all the footage captured by surveillance cameras in the UK, ruled out the possibility that you were in the UK, and found out who and You have information about Osborne who you have contacted. Know that his business card is still in your bag, and luckily, you left the bag in my restaurant. Later, Professor Xavier told me that you were taken When I got to America I flew right over, I just got off the plane when they rescued you. Oh look at me, talking nonsense again. What's wrong with you dear? You want to eat ?"

Ashe didn't quite know what people did to find her these days. In fact, she couldn't even remember how long she was imprisoned, and how she survived those days.She only remembered that the tubes of medicine entered her blood through the cold needle, and then brought a painful feeling as if her whole body was burning.

Ashe forced herself to stop remembering those scenes. She looked at Holt and said, "Holly, you should go to rest for a while, you look very tired. I want to see the professor, I have something to ask him .”

Holt agreed right away, but he insisted on accompanying Ashe to see Professor Xavier.Ashe didn't understand why, but agreed anyway.

Ashe almost cried again when Uncle Hank pushed the professor through the door.She can still vividly remember the scene where Uncle Hank threw Osborn across the room, and her trace must be found because the professor used the brainwave search machine to check a large number of brainwaves for a long time.

They always tolerate her and love her like this, but all she brings to them is worry and trouble.

"Ash, never feel guilty for what we have done, okay?" The professor still only needed a second to understand her heart, "My dear child, you are not to blame for all this."

Hank stood by the bed, touched Ashe's head lovingly, and then said to her: "Remember, I said that I always treat you as a daughter. You must know that a father can do anything for his daughter." As it should be."

Ash held back her tears and nodded. She found that after going through this ordeal, her emotional state was quite different from the past. In the past, she rarely had big emotional ups and downs, but during the short period of time after waking up, she was almost always in a state of anxiety. .

The professor looked at Ashe with wise blue eyes, smiled lovingly and said, "Dear child, you have noticed the change in yourself, haven't you? You have always been very perceptive."

Ashe frowned, she had a bad feeling.She felt that what happened next was something she didn't want to hear.

"We always have to accept reality." Professor Xavier sighed slightly, and then said in a calm tone, "Ash, what I'm going to say next is very important, and no matter how you feel, I hope you can Accept it asap."

Ashe nodded, she had no choice but to accept, what came from fate, no matter it was imposed maliciously or endowed with good intentions, there was always no room for negotiation or change.

"Osborn has fully stimulated your mutation potential. The degree of mutation and ability you have unintentionally suppressed for various reasons in the past has been forced to develop to the peak. Your past ability has always remained on the surface, and Now, you can have a much deeper and broader control over people, and you don't have to use input as much as you used to, which is a huge drain on your energy."

Ashe didn't understand what this meant. She thought that the so-called limit of ability was nothing more than a more convenient manipulation of emotions, or less damage caused by it.

"Ash, your abilities are very different from those in the past. Now you can directly act on deeper things, and it is often difficult for people to describe those things, so let's use the soul to put it simply."

Ashe swallowed, and couldn't accept it for a while, but Professor Xavier continued.

"Everything has two sides. On the good side, you will hardly be harmed by anyone in the future, and you have enough ability to defeat any creature with a soul. On the bad side, you may accidentally hurt yourself or other innocent people. Unlike in the past, this kind of damage will be serious, even if you can repair it afterwards, but this kind of damage is still irreversible. Therefore, you need to use it more carefully and rigorously Your own ability. This is not difficult for you, is it? You have been good at this in the past. I am more worried about your state. Because of my ability, I understand this horror better than anyone side effects. But fortunately, you can control yourself and choose to watch or not watch.”

Holt held Ashe's hand tightly, and looked at Ashe firmly, as if afraid that she would not be able to accept it, and even fainted again.Holt guessed right, Ashe really couldn't accept this matter, she grabbed his hand tightly, almost making a mark on it.

"So I went straight from victim to danger, right? It was pretty sudden."
