Dr. Warren is a little busy

After Natasha dealt with the enemy she was in charge of, when she arrived at the place where Captain America and the Winter Soldier were fighting, the fight between the two sides was coming to an end.

The scene was as chaotic as ever, but this time it was enough to surprise the seasoned female agent so much that her eyes widened.

What surprised Natasha the most was not the crossbones lying on the ground trembling with his head in his arms, nor a mage in a red cloak and a golden whip floating in the air, but the psychological counselor who had fallen into a coma The division crouched in the corner, and did not join the battle of the Winter Soldier.

The Winter Soldier lowered his head, as if he was observing Ashe lying in his arms, but to Natasha's great regret, his expression was covered by the hair on the side of his face.She really wanted to know if this old Popsicle, who seemed to have been deprived of the ability to control the facial muscles by countless times of freezing, had any expression that could be called full of warmth.

Black Widow clenched her nipples and rushed into the center of the battlefield, helped Captain America and Mr. Mage deal with the remaining enemies, and then tied the crossbones tightly.She was really fed up with this Hydra thug, he was so difficult and ugly.

In fact, Crossbones used to be a handsome young man with good features, but since he was injured by the explosion twice, Natasha felt that she could no longer look at him directly.

"what happened?"

Natasha gestured to the crying crossbones with her eyes.

Captain America said to the Black Widow with a serious expression: "He hijacked Dr. Warren and asked us to hand over Bucky. Then this is what you saw."

"Oh, I see." Natasha nodded knowingly. She understands the abilities of Dr. Warren, and also understands why Steve is unwilling to talk too much about her identity and abilities. Mutants are always feared and discriminated against. , most of them kept secret about their identities, "Do you want to contact Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters?"

The captain's handsome eyebrows were tangled, he nodded with a serious face, and said, "We should really tell them, after all, Dr. Warren was invited by us. Then I will trouble you about this matter. I will go and see Bucky and Dr. Warren. And Dr. Strange, thank you for your help."

The mage in the red cloak nodded and said, "You're welcome, I just happen to be nearby."

Although the Avengers sent an invitation to Doctor Strange, he did not officially agree.He still has a lot of things to do. For example, his missing elder brother Modu seems to be making some big moves, and the dark world has not completely died of its ambition to swallow the earth.

Strange took the initiative to join the aftermath team, using his space magic, he quickly restored a large area of ​​destroyed buildings.

The Winter Soldier knelt on the ground, and the unconscious Ashe leaned against his chest. He didn't dare to move his body at will, but kept the same posture all the time, quietly looking down at the doctor who had helped him several times .

"She'll be fine." The captain squatted in front of the Winter Soldier and said softly, "She's just too tired. Take her back to the mansion first. Natasha has gone to contact Professor Xavier. The car is parked over there. "

Bucky nodded, tried his best to lighten his movements, and hugged Ashe horizontally.Bearing her weight was no pressure for the Winter Soldier, but he still walked slowly.She was very fragile right now, and he was afraid that a slight bump would affect her rest.

Hawkeye, Falcon, and Iron Man, who handed over the mess to the professional aftermath staff, also rushed over. Seeing Ashe in the arms of the Winter Soldier, the heroes froze for a moment.

"What's wrong with her? Fighting gangsters again?" Stark opened the helmet to reveal his face, with an unbelievable expression on his face, "Friday, scan her."

Friday's voice rang almost immediately: "The scan is complete, Sir, the lady is just exhausted and is expected to wake up after two to three hours of deep sleep."

"Oh, that's good, Rhodes is still waiting for her to help."

Captain America disagreed very much: "Dr. Warren has worked hard enough, she should take a good rest for a few days."

"Oh, I could drop Rod by her bedside and the two of them just introduce themselves and shake hands for a second or two. This lady can make tens of thousands of dollars without even getting out of bed, I think she will be very satisfied."

Iron Man and Captain America are still at odds. Of the two of them, one is too serious and the other is not serious. Even if they are good comrades who have experienced the same life and death together, they will always quarrel endlessly.

The Winter Soldier was used to this kind of innocuous little dispute that happened every day, he ignored them and walked to the car on the side of the road alone.Natasha followed behind him and said, "The mutants have sent someone over. You sit in the back and help her up, and I'll drive."

The Winter Soldier nodded silently, but they couldn't get into the black car that was parked on the side of the road.

The time-space gate that suddenly appeared in the air was glowing with blue light, bringing up a cloud of sand, stones and dust.A group of mutants came out of the door, no matter how you looked at it, they were a bit menacing.

Besides Laura who was responsible for opening the door, Beast and Wolverine came out of the door. Professor X was sitting in a wheelchair and standing at the forefront of the team.

With a tense face, Hank took the unconscious Ashe from the hands of the Winter Soldier without saying a word, and Laura immediately put the small blanket in her arms on Ashe's body.Wolverine pushed Professor Xavier's wheelchair to the heroes. Professor X smiled and said: "Sorry, Hank was in a hurry, we wanted to drive here. I will erase the memories that irrelevant people shouldn't have, everyone no need to worry."

Not only should Hydra not know about this meeting between the mutants and the Avengers, but neither should the US government.Their names on the government's blacklist haven't been fully crossed off yet, and no one wants to see the Avengers and mutants having a good time talking. Professor X doesn't want the mutants to get into any trouble anymore, their survival has been difficult enough in the past few decades.And most importantly, one more person who knows about Ashe's contact with the Avengers will bring unnecessary trouble to Ashe.

Captain America said very sincerely: "It is we who should apologize. Sorry, we did not take good care of Dr. Warren."

The professor smiled as kindly as any ordinary old man, not at all like a powerful mutant leader.It only takes a few seconds for him to understand everything, and he understands that there is no one to blame for this except that their little girl is a bit unlucky.

"It's okay, she won't blame you, and we will all respect her choice. It's just that she needs to take a good rest in the next two days."

Captain America nodded in agreement, and the mutants didn't delay for a second, and immediately left through the blue Yingying time and space gate that was flying sand and stones.

Captain America sighed, patted Bucky who was standing there with his lips pursed, and said to his partners, "Call the work. Although Rumlow was caught, they obviously won't give up easily. We have to have a meeting." .”

Bucky looked at Steve with an unhappy face, the corners of his mouth curved downward infinitely.

"Don't blame yourself, Bucky. It's always been my mission to fight Hydra to the end. You'll be with me until the end, right?"

The Winter Soldier glanced at Captain America and nodded gravely.

When Ashe woke up again, she found herself lying in the bedroom that belonged to her in the X Academy, sitting beside the bed were Hank and Logan with stinky faces, and Laura who was overjoyed.

"Dear Ashe, are you awake? Do you want to drink water? Or do you want to eat? I'll go and make you something to eat, you must be hungry!"

Before Laura finished speaking, she ran out of the door anxiously.Ashe wasn't sure if she was in a hurry to find food for herself or if she just wanted to get away from Hank who was about to explode.

Ashe smiled flatteringly at Hank, but he didn't appreciate it.Logan couldn't see her stupid look, stood up and walked out the door, saying that he wanted to tell the professor that the little trouble was awake.

Who is the little scourge, Ashe stared at Wolverine's back and thought secretly, besides, wouldn't the professor know if she woke up?How old is Logan, and he is still like a child.

"Don't curse people in your heart."

Hank reprimanded her with a straight face while handing her a glass of water.

Ashe sat up, leaned on the head of the bed, raised her face and said to Hank solemnly: "I didn't swear, ladies never swear. If you don't believe me, ask the professor."

"You still talk back, grown up, huh?" Hank showed a bit of a beast on his face, and turned back Ashe's arrogance, "How many times have I said, don't use your abilities casually. You One point for input to others, one point for yourself. You know better than me how precious emotional energy is.”

"I have to, Uncle Hank."

"I have to? What about the Metropolitan Museum yesterday? You can let those two big men deal with those harmless mental patients."

Ashe lowered her head and said, "I know I was wrong, I...me, seeing Spider-Man working so hard, I just want to help."

Hank sighed, and said earnestly: "Ash, you just need to be obedient and live a peaceful life. Naturally, someone will do these things. You are a good girl, and you are still young. You It is not your responsibility not to get involved in these dangerous things. And you are not suitable for manual work. Isn't that the consensus of the entire X Academy? When you were 15 years old, you were the only one who couldn't run down to gym class students who run thousands of miles.”

I can't run away now, Ashe secretly thought.She is not an athlete, so it doesn't matter if she can run or not.Yankees are always so muscular, and her physical fitness is far behind her. You must know that she is a pure British with slender and fragile bones.

But she didn't dare to make such sophistry.She sniffed, and aggrievedly adopted a coquettish strategy: "He strangled my neck and held a gun to my head. No one has ever done this to me. I was terrified. I was afraid that he would kill me, and I was also afraid that he would kill me. Getting out of control hurts other people."

Hank immediately put away his threatening expression, touched the top of Ashe's head like a good father and said, "Don't be afraid, Ashe, don't be afraid, I'll tear him apart in a while, okay? I and Go with Logan and make sure he dies thoroughly."

"No, no, no need." Ashe frowned, feeling that she had acted a little too much, "Uncle Hank, he is from Hydra, we can no longer be enemies with Hydra, our trouble That's enough. Besides, he fell into the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D., and they will definitely have to interrogate him to get some information, so it wouldn't be good if you just killed him."

"The professor will be happy to brain him, and then I can tear him apart."

It took Ashe a lot of effort to make Hank let go of the idea of ​​turning into a beast and going to S.H.I.E.L.D. to tear people apart. She promised time and time again that she would not use her abilities at will, and would not have more contact with dangerous elements.

Hank took off his glasses, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said, "Ash, you are my favorite child, and everyone in the academy knows that I have a preference for you to an excessive degree, because I always unconsciously Treat you like a daughter. When you first came, you were younger and weaker than all the children. I have watched you grow up to this age. You have always been cute and cute, and you don’t let us bother you. But you still become I'm a big girl, I hate your nagging Uncle Hank. After you went to the UK alone, I don't trust you all the time. You have the status of a mutant, but you don't have enough self-protection ability. I'm always afraid that someone Watching you."

Ashe also wanted to cry a little. She remembered how kind Uncle Hank was to her. He always cared about her and took care of her like a doting father.Over the years, there are only a handful of times he scolded her with a straight face like today.

"Move back, Ashe. This will always be your home."

Ashe is a little entangled, she likes here, but she also likes London, which has a natural attraction for her.

"Uncle Hank, I promise to come back to see you more in the future."

Hank understood that this was a polite refusal.He sighed, didn't dwell on the topic any more, and turned to talking about Ashe's body.

"If you overuse your abilities, you will exhaust your energy. The damage to your body can be offset by sleep, but I am more afraid that frequent energy exhaustion will hurt your spirit. Before you, we have never met you. Mutants with the same ability, only the professor and Qin are somewhat similar to you, but your situation is not the same. Emotion is a very complicated energy. Science can explain the secretion of human hormones and the subsequent emotional effects. But I can't explain how your abilities work. I have to admit that I don't know anything about it. It's all up to you to explore. You need to experience the boundaries of your abilities by yourself, and you can't avoid using them during this period. It, but promise me, never hurt yourself, okay?"

For Hank's earnest words, Ashe has always been difficult to refuse.

"I see, Uncle Hank." Ashe replied seriously, as if she was in Uncle Hank's science class before, "I will never let you worry about me in the future."

Laura ran in with a plate in her hand, and Ashe was really curious about how she held the plate so securely.

"Come and eat, this time you are allowed to sit on the bed and eat."

Ashe enjoyed the life of a princess for two days, and she even thought of moving back.But it's just thinking about it.New York is too dangerous, compared to London, which is much friendlier to ordinary people.While there are plenty of high functioning sociopaths with high IQ criminals and such, at least there are no terrorist groups and aliens.

Moreover, Dr. Warren's reputation has finally gained a little bit of word-of-mouth after her nearly two years of hard work. In London, she can rely on this job to support herself, which makes her very satisfied with herself.Uncle Hank once said that she was so strong that she could live here forever if she wanted to, but Ashe didn't really want to be a little princess.In this school, her abilities are not of much use, and every time there is a fight, a part of the combat power is allocated to protect her. She is not willing to be a burden that hinders others.

So after another trip to Stark Tower, a friendly exchange and handshake with Colonel Rhodes, the Scarlet Witch, and the Winter Soldier, she plans to return to London.

During Ashe's time in New York, only the Winter Soldier received a second treatment.It's not that he's weaker than others, it's just that his heart has suffered too much.Before leaving, Ashe promised him that she would help him at any time.She also gave Captain America the contact information of Professor Xavier, because she knew that she couldn't fully heal the Winter Soldier's wounded heart, nor could he remove the deepest fear imprints in his mind, which the professor might be able to do.

It's just that it depends on the Winter Soldier's own choice whether to seek help from the professor.

Ashe asks Lola to help open the time-space gate, bids farewell to the reluctant Hank and the still-stern Logan, and returns to her home in London.
