Dr. Warren is a little busy

Facing Captain America, who was obviously resisting, Ashe decided to be more direct.

"My name is Ash Warren. In addition to being a psychiatrist, I am also a mutant. Director Ferry should have told you this. My ability is to perceive the emotions of people around me and output them to achieve The purpose of controlling other people's emotions. I can make you happy, or calm, or even painful or crazy. How long the effect lasts varies from person to person, and because your body is different from ordinary people, I guess it can only last about two to three sky."

Captain America frowned, as if dissatisfied that emotions could be manipulated.

Ashe smiled knowingly, and continued: "But you can also choose to treat me as an ordinary person and have a chat with me. One of the responsibilities of a psychological counselor is to listen to other people's troubles."

Captain America's frown did not loosen, and Ashe felt that the patient's uncooperative degree was a bit serious.Just when she was about to give up, Captain America spoke.

"My name is Steve, Steve Rogers, and people call me Captain America. But I want you to treat me like a normal person and call me by my first name. When I'm called Captain, I subconsciously want to go Take responsibility and control the scene, I am not suitable for psychological counseling in that state."

Ashe sensed the mood change of the other party, she nodded with a smile: "No problem, Steve. You can also call me Ashe. But it seems that more people like to use Dr. Warren."

Steve finally showed a smile: "I understand, the doctor's statement makes people feel like they can be saved."

He quickly restrained his smile, and continued: "I fell into the deep sea and was frozen until I was discovered a few years ago. During this period, I spent more than 70 years. I am a little at a loss for nearly a century. But I tried my best to adapt to modern society, and everything was developing in a good direction. But a few days ago, my friend who I thought had died a long time ago suddenly appeared in front of me in a hostile identity."

He stopped suddenly, took a deep breath, and then continued: "It was only later that I found out that during the more than 70 years when I was asleep, he was repeatedly brainwashed, frozen, and used as a murder tool. He committed many crimes, but that It's not his fault, they told him that those missions were to maintain order in the world and he was on the side of justice. He didn't mean to kill so many people, he was brainwashed and couldn't control himself. I don't want him to go through Locked up after so much pain. He's my best friend."

The tall Steve huddled in the chair, covered his face with his hands, and looked helpless like every kid who had just entered X Academy that Ashe had seen.

Ashe reached out to him and said, "Do you need my help? Or you can try to control your emotions yourself."

Steve lowered his hands, his eyes were flushed but his face was firm: "Thank you, but I can do it myself."

Ashe smiled at him: "I believe in you. But please remember, I am always here to help you. Now, can you tell me the story of you and your good friend?"

Steve slowly described how he got along with his friends when he was young. They played together since they were young. Bucky never disliked him for being poor and thin. He had blocked bullying and humiliation from all sides for many years.They went to school together, grew up together, and later they joined the army together, fought the Nazis together, and crushed the Hydra conspiracy together.Until the last one falls off the cliff, and the other sleeps in the deep sea.

Reminiscing about every little thing he had with Bucky made Steve feel both warm and poignant.His expressions were extremely complex, as were his emotions.

"But you're all still alive, aren't you?" Ashe looked into Steve's eyes and said gently, "Maybe you sometimes feel that it's better to die and come in peace, but I believe you can handle it." You still have time to repay him for helping you, and he has time to atone for the mistakes he made. The situation is still the same. People have to look forward, don’t they? Although you have suffered enough over the years Many sins, but I know very well that you are the strongest fighters, the soldiers who supported the United States, and you also understand that it is useless to indulge in the past blindly. I think you are right, you don’t need to rely on my ability But your friend, Mr. Barnes, I guess his situation is not optimistic, his experience of brainwashing will make his memory and emotional control abnormal, I think he needs my help more than you."

Steve frowned again, and he said, "But he can't always rely on you for emotional support."

"He won't need me all the time. The emotion I input to him is a special form of energy. When his emotions are under good control, he will feel the beauty of life and will constantly think of good things. , to face everything with a positive attitude. Similarly, the most worrying thing is that his emotional control ability will slowly repair itself to a normal level when he is in good condition. Although the psychological scars cannot completely disappear, but The bleeding always stops. Some people only need one treatment, some people need several, but they always have a heart that can heal itself like ordinary people."

After hearing this, Steve smiled in surprise.Seeing his appearance, Ashe hurriedly continued: "But Mr. Barnes may still need medical assistance. You said that his memory is not optimistic. I can't do anything about this, but I think you can solve this matter .If you have nothing to do for the time being, I will visit a college classmate, she is an expert in neurology, maybe she can provide some help."

"Thank you very much, Dr. Warren. But don't bother, I think S.H.I.E.L.D. can provide a doctor." Steve thanked very sincerely, "Do you have time in a few days? I would like to ask you to see Barbara as soon as possible." base."

Seeing that the famous Captain America suddenly looked like a shy college student, Ashe couldn't help curling her mouth and laughing.

"Of course. This time in New York, I have a whole week free." She took out her business card from her bag and handed it to Steve. "This is my business card with my phone number on it. You can contact me anytime."

"Hey, captain, where did you kidnap this girl?"

Ashe was taken aback by the sudden sound, she turned her head to look, and found Iron Man standing at the door without the steel suit.He was wearing a gray short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans with one leg rolled up but not the other, as if he had just come out of a steel factory as a laborer.

Ashe felt that the emotions of these two people did not fluctuate much, and it seemed that the problem between them had been resolved.

Steve seemed to have gotten used to the genius Stark's unusual style for a long time, stood up and said to him, "This is Dr. Warren invited by Fury. I was the first to receive psychological counseling, and you still have to go to What's the number in the back row?"

"I don't need to consult my heart," Stark rolled his eyes and said, "I'm fine."

Steve ignored him, but turned to Ashe and said, "Sorry, Dr. Warren. Tony meant no harm."

"I know, have you forgotten my specialty?" Ashe comforted him.

In fact, she knew that the rich man had no intentions against her, and his arrogance would not allow him to think badly about an ordinary woman like Ashe who had just arrived.But she sensitively felt that Stark's emotions were not simple, but the distance was far away, and he was not alone, and Stark concealed it too well, so she couldn't perceive the specific situation.

She stood up and bid farewell to the two superheroes: "I think you guys still have things to deal with, and it's time for me to leave too. See you later."

"Where are you going, I'll see you off."

Ashe looked at Stark in surprise, unable to imagine that this was what he said.

"I heard that you are a mutant, I'm curious."

Ashe laughed, not expecting Iron Man to be so childish.She guessed that Stark had other plans, but it probably wasn't a bad thing to beware of, it was Iron Man.Captain America also knew that Stark just had a bad mouth, so he just told him not to bully Dr. Warren, and let it go.

Ashe followed Stark to the elevator, and Stark asked, "I heard that your ability is to control other people's emotions."

"Yes, emotional perception and output can also achieve the purpose of control. When I am in extreme emotions, the situation that my ability cannot be controlled will also happen. So Mr. Stark, don't drive too fast, or I will not Be careful to drive you crazy, and then you will have to work hard to restore you to normal, this process is very difficult, both for you and me."

Stark seemed to be interested. He entered the elevator door, pressed the negative floor and asked, "Have you ever driven anyone crazy?"

"No. But it came close again. I was eight years old and I couldn't control myself. It was the funeral of three other family members. There were dozens of people. I almost caused a disaster."

Stark said dryly, "Sorry."

Ashe felt a sudden surge of negativity from him, but it disappeared quickly before she could analyze its content.She just pretended not to know, and followed Stark into the car.

"To St. Lister's Hospital, thank you."

"You're a doctor, right." Stark let the artificial intelligence replace him on autopilot, and then said to Ashe, "write me a prescription, I want some sleeping pills or tranquilizers or something. My brain is too genius, You know, it's always hard to sleep."

Only then did Ashe understand why Stark wanted to drive him off.Maybe the great Iron Man couldn't bypass the doctor and get some prescription drugs, but he didn't want to ask a doctor, because then he would have to reveal the somewhat embarrassing little thing about his insomnia.Of course, this is just Ashe's guess, and it's also possible that Stark just happened to want the medicine, and he happened to be the first doctor who appeared in front of him.

"I'd love to." Ashe smiled at him. "Unfortunately, I'm an English doctor. I don't have that right in America."

Stark rolled his eyes unceremoniously, and said: "Oh, waste of time. I didn't realize that you have a British accent. Then use your ability for me, Fury called you Isn't that what you're here for?"

Ashe nodded without hesitation: "No problem, but you have to wait until you reach your destination. After I input emotions to you, you have to sit down and rest for a while, and you'd better drink some water and eat something. Now you The state is too complicated, and I'm still driving, so I can't do it casually."

The performance of Stark's sports car was excellent, and the artificial intelligence automatically screened the optimal route on Friday, and the two soon arrived at their destination, St. Lister's Hospital.Ashe's college classmate and live-in friend, Kristen Palmer, works here as an emergency physician.A few days ago, she called Ai Xi and said that she had suffered another tragic lovelorn, and Ai Xi was very worried about her.

Ashe forced Stark to enter a nearby coffee shop with her to sit down, ordered coffee and donuts for him, watched him take a few bites, and then extended her right hand to him.

"Hold my hand and relax. It's best not to think about anything. If you can't be completely blank, try to think about something happy."

Stark stretched out his right hand to hold the hand that Ashe extended to him. He often dealt with steel, criminals and prostitution, and his palm was strong and hard.In contrast, Ashe's hands were a little too soft, as if Stark would break her bones if she exerted force.

Ashe slowly poured calm emotions into Stark, and finally brought a little joy at the end.She figured it would at least give Iron Man a few good nights of sleep.

The large amount of emotional output in a short period of time made her a little tired.She closed her eyes and said to Iron Man: "Ordinary people can maintain the effect for about a week. After a week, if you feel emotional fluctuations and it is difficult to control yourself, you'd better contact me in time. But don't worry, your problem is not serious, and you can It won't have any dependent effect on me, I think you only need two or three inputs at most."

Stark smiled too brightly, and with what seemed to be a long sigh of relief, he picked up a donut and said, "Honey, you're so good, I want to hire you as my family doctor. Your week's office fee I've covered everything, so don't ask for less from me."

Ashe took a sip of coffee wearily, and said, "For the sake of making me work so hard, I will charge by the day and increase by 1.5 times the usual rate. Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Stark."

"No problem at all, just send me the bill when the time comes. The coffee and everything will be counted. Now I have to go back. I want to take a comfortable bath and sleep for another ten hours."

Seeing his appearance, Ai Xi couldn't help laughing: "I have to remind you to pay attention to healthy work and rest, healthy diet, and moderate exercise. These can make this effect last longer. You can ask your Artificial intelligence, what should insomniacs eat, she will give you many effective suggestions."

After Stark left, Ashe sat in the cafe for a while longer.She has made an appointment with Christine, waiting for her to have dinner with her after get off work.

When Christine came to Ashe, Ashe was a little surprised at her fragility.Although she was smiling, her sad mood couldn't fool Ashe.

"What's the matter, dear Christine? You don't look well." Ashe hurriedly handed her the hot coffee.

Kristen gave her a forced smile and said, "It's nice to meet you. I saw some...unbelievable things today."

"You must be very anxious to tell me, but you are afraid of being heard." Aixi smiled and held her hand, quietly entering a little calm emotion for her, "Why don't we pack some food and go to your house? "

"Oh, just what I want. Ashe, you are so considerate."

The two snuggled up on the couch at Christine's house, ate packed pizza and drank some nice wine.During this period, Christine told Ashe about her incredible experience.

"Stephen, he actually became a mage. I saw him out of his body. I don't know if it's an appropriate description, but that's what it is. He can draw a portal and go through it freely, and he There are many terrible enemies. But... But I failed to save his teacher."

"There's nothing unusual about mages. Do you remember that I'm a mutant. I've lived among a group of mutants since I was a child. It's not unusual for me to be out of my body or open a portal. You won't alienate me because of that, Then you wouldn't hate or be afraid of Dr. Strange for that, would you? As for his teacher, he was supposed to be a very, very powerful mage, so his death wasn't your fault, probably God's arrangement , or his own choice."

Christine frowned: "Of course I won't alienate you, and I won't loathe him or be afraid of him. I'm just worried about him. He just became a mage not long ago, and he has to face so many dangers. I'm afraid he will What happened. His teacher died, he didn't blame me, I think he should understand what happened. But I just feel sad. I'm used to seeing death, but so far I can't face it calmly."

"It's normal, really, it's normal honey. Remember when I joked in college that it's part of human nature." Ashe gently shook Christine's hand, "This time I don't use my ability to help you, you can get through it yourself. And your worries about Mr. Strange, I think you have to tell him, let him know that your worries are not a bad thing, it will make him more confident when fighting Confidence and strength. Even if you can't tell him face to face, maybe a text message would be nice."

Christine wiped away tears, sighed and hugged her friend: "Thank you, Ashe. You can always make my mood better, even if you don't use your ability."

Christine sent a message to Stephen, who was worried about her heart, and her mood improved a lot.Ashe was relieved and called Uncle Hank, saying that she would not be going back tonight.

Good Uncle Hank asked questions nervously for a while, and finally let go of the idea of ​​rushing to the scene to pick up Ashe.Ash and Christine chatted late, remembering that Christine had to get up early to go to work before going to bed.

The next morning, Christine went to work early, and Ashe planned to go around New York.It has been a long time since she came to New York last time, and she misses the complicated atmosphere of this city.

However, as soon as she changed her clothes and was about to go out, she received a call from Captain America Steve Rogers, who asked her if she could go and see how Bucky was doing.Naturally, she had no reason to refuse, and went directly to the Stark Tower where she had just been yesterday.

Yesterday's Stark Tower was deserted, but today it is completely different.In the hall where I met Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. yesterday, apart from Fury, Captain America and Iron Man who were there yesterday, a group of other heroes gathered. Ashe couldn't help being a little surprised when she first entered the door.

The blond-haired young Captain America stood up first, and said with a kind smile, "Good morning, Dr. Warren. Because Bucky's condition is unstable, everyone is here to avoid any accidents. Please come and sit down."

Superheroes sit in twos and threes on couches and armchairs.Ashe walked over and sat in an empty chair.

"Good morning, my name is Ash Warren."

Ai Xi felt that everyone present probably knew her details, and she didn't need to explain in detail.She was a little nervous after such a big battle, but she had already known how to control her emotions over the years, and she quickly recovered her calm.

Then she met Hawkeye, Black Widow, Falcon, Vision and Scarlet Witch one by one.The superheroes are all curious about her, and she doesn't have to feel the emotion at all, just look at their expressions to see it.

Fury still had a straight face. He stared at Ashe with the only remaining eye, and said straight to the point: "When you treat Barnes later, we will stay outside to prevent him from hurting you."

Ashe understood this request very well.If something happened to her here, not to mention Professor Xavier, Hank would not be able to spare this group of superheroes.

She nodded readily: "Yes, but I don't think there will be any accidents. As far as calming people down, I am better than everyone. It's best not to let Mr. Barnes know that you are all staring at him. That won't do him any good. Also, it's best to find a well-lit, light-colored room, the more relaxed Mr. Barnes is, the better the treatment will be."

"I agree with that," interposed Stark. "This girl gave me the best night's sleep I've ever had. Thank you again, sweetheart."

Ashe is very satisfied with Iron Man's praise, and this is why she likes to use her abilities to help patients.

Ashe was taken by Steve to a room that met her requirements. This room has large windows and a lot of free space. The decoration and furniture are very light in color, and all elements are very calm. and easy.

"Thanks, I think it's a good place. Then you guys get Mr. Barnes over here. Don't tie his hands or anything. I'm confident I can hold him better than a rope."
