Friendly neighbors are villains

Amy doesn't mind if she's in danger, and once everyone remembers what happened to her, she's sure that superheroes, not just Peter, will provide Amy with shelter and that she'll be taken care of, maybe occasionally. There will be a little trouble finding the door.

In fact, Amy doesn't care what she will encounter at all, not to mention that she has dealt with many fatal injuries, even though they are all in the virtual world, but Amy thinks this is not a problem.

There is nothing crueler than being "forgotten".

But the adoptive mother is innocent, and Amy cannot guarantee her safety.

Strange saw through Amy's concerns, and he quite agreed with it: "You should enjoy a peaceful life."

"It's hard to satisfy the present moment after having tasted the excitement." Amy said disappointedly. She didn't feel that her adoptive mother was redundant, but she was somewhat regretful.

"I reserve the right to choose for you." Strange said, he tasted every food, and said lightly, "You can come to me at any time, I believe everyone is very happy to protect you. But, you do If you make a choice, there is no room for repentance. Magic can only be used once, it is one-way, and it cannot be taken back. Once everyone who knows you remembers what happened in the mirror space, you can definitely guess that some evil guys will try everything means to deal with you, because you teased them thoroughly back then."

"Not exactly." Amy defended, "I take good care of my subordinates."

"But Borg has a bad attitude." Strange quickly added, "Some of the criminals don't know about Borg, because he never showed up, and everyone knows you are the only one' Duke'."

Strange finished his sumptuous meal and packed another to take away.

Amy waived his bill.

"Why help me?" Amy said, "Didn't you always ignore people and things other than magic?"

Strange thought for a while and said, "Probably because I've been busy recently."

Amy didn't want to invite him to dinner: "Isn't it because I rescued you from space?"

"Whatever you think." Strange shrugged, not embarrassed by his intention to be exposed.

"Is the game over as soon as Batman kills me?" Amy asked.

Strange said: "No, after you die, the time in the mirror space stops, and everything is like pressing the pause button, except that people can move freely. After about 30 minutes, the space ejects everyone. .”

"Then he, I mean, was Peter very sad when he found out the truth?" Amy said.

Strange was silent for a while: "Of course."

Amy nestled in the living room, staring at the picture on the TV in a daze. A talk show with a good reputation was playing on the screen, but Amy's thoughts had already drifted away.

The adoptive mother came over with a thick envelope and patted her on the shoulder: "Are you okay?"

Amy smiled at her adoptive mother: "Of course, this week's turnover is twice that of last week. If this continues, we will be promoted to the rich list." She noticed the envelope, but Amy was not interested.

The adoptive mother sat down and turned off the TV.

"I'm watching." Amy said.

"No, you don't," said the adoptive mother. "You don't like this talk show star at all. You said before that you just stared at the TV. I don't know what happened to you, but hard work doesn't make You feel relieved, and that just keeps you stuffing yourself in the back of your mind."

Amy was noncommittal: "I'm going to bed, good night."

"How about a chat?" said the adoptive mother.

"It's a little late, and I have to get up early tomorrow." Amy said.

"It will be closed for the whole day tomorrow," said the adoptive mother.

Amy looked at her and said, "Seriously, tomorrow Friday will be the busiest day for business, and I don't want to miss the opportunity to make money."

"You're not that short of money, are you?" The adoptive mother raised the envelope in her hand, then opened the seal, and a stack of brand new hundred-dollar bills leaked out, "This money is enough for our one-week turnover, Mom wants to talk to you, and you also need to rest, how long have you not relaxed yourself?"

"You don't need to give me pocket money." Amy looked at the stack of banknotes. In the country of credit card payment, it is not easy to see such large denominations of cash. Amy thought that her mother went to the bank.

"That's why I want to talk to you." The adoptive mother said, "In fact, it was given to me and to us by someone else. Every month, this person will give us a sum of money."

Amy blinked: "Who? Since when?"

"Amy, what do you think of mutants?" The adoptive mother avoided asking.

"Mom, you haven't answered my question yet," Amy said.

"Yes, but you have to answer what I asked first, so that I can decide whether I should tell you some truth." The adoptive mother put the envelope stuffed with money on the coffee table.

Intuition tells Amy that her adoptive mother has a secret that no one knows.

"No special opinion." Amy said, she thought about her words, "A group of not-so-ordinary humans?" She didn't know if such an answer was what her adoptive mother wanted to hear, but this was Amy's true feelings.

Before experiencing the game incident, Amy, like most ordinary people, felt that mutants were a bit scary and prayed that she would not encounter them.But now, mutants are no longer a big deal in Amy's eyes.

The adoptive mother took a deep breath, and it was rare for Amy to see her speak earnestly.

"Actually." The adoptive mother said, "Your father gave you this money. Since you were less than one year old, your father will leave this money at the door every month. At first, it was only a few hundred dollars. , up to now, about [-] or so."

Amy asked tentatively: "Could it be that my father is Magneto?" She spoke half-jokingly.

The adoptive mother stared at her in amazement: "Has Eric looked for you?"

Amy exhaled a breath from her nose: "I guessed it, I didn't expect it to be so accurate." If she hadn't experienced that game, she would never be able to associate herself with Magneto. Know this guy is a public enemy.

Although Magneto did not deliberately retaliate against civilians, many of his actions will hurt innocent people.

What's more, Magneto will not take into account the life and death of ordinary people.

The adoptive mother sighed: "That day you showed understanding of Eric's destruction, and I understood that it is time for you to know the truth. There is nothing wrong, Magneto, it is your father."

Amy opened her mouth in feigned surprise.

The adoptive mother said slowly: "You must find it difficult to accept, the fact is that he is your father in name, there is no blood relationship between you, because your biological mother only met him after she became pregnant."

Amy's biological mother was a stowaway who first came to the United States and worked in a Chinese restaurant. She fell in love with the chef there, they had a one-night stand, and then her mother became pregnant.

Not long after, the chef abandoned the woman, as it would do him no good to associate with a black household.

Unintended pregnancy is difficult to get help in the United States, not to mention that the mother has no identity. She originally wanted to find an underground clinic to abort the child, but when she saw those cold instruments, she suddenly gave up this idea.

The mother is still working odd jobs to save the money needed to raise children in the future.

One rainy night after get off work, she met Eric who was arrested and on the run.At that time, Eric was seriously injured, and his mother didn't know who he was, and out of some kind of sympathy, she took him back to her humble home.

The two completely different people met in this way. They were very embarrassed at the time, and they were supporting each other, rather than hugging each other for warmth.The mother is not afraid of Eric's identity, probably because she has nothing and nothing to lose, and Eric doesn't look like the kind of person who would prey on pregnant women.

Amy thought it would be a romantic story, the beauty saves the hero (including the hero), and then sparks of love arise.

As a result, Eric left after recovering from his injuries. He was not emotional, but he gave his mother a sum of money. This is probably one of the few acts of kindness he has done to ordinary people.

A few months later, my mother gave birth to Amy, which, of course, was definitely not her name at the time.

In a private clinic with poor sanitary conditions, the mother died shortly after giving birth to Amy due to heavy bleeding. Her body was not claimed and would be thrown directly into the incinerator.

And Amy, who was still a newborn baby at that time, was almost sold to the black market. It is said that there is an organization specializing in the adoption of orphans, which is engaged in illegal activities of organ trading.They will raise the collected children, then take the organs and give them to the rich who need organ transplants.

Eric appeared in time and took Amy away, and the clinic disappeared overnight. He gave the baby to Professor X and claimed that it was his own child.

They disagreed at the time, but Eric knew very well that Charles would treat the child well.

No one knows why he did this, Amy is not a mutant, she has no superpowers, maybe it is out of compassion.

"So, Magneto didn't inject me with mutant DNA or something?" Amy asked.

The adoptive mother said: "What are you thinking, of course it is impossible."

Although the details are different from the settings in the game, the general direction is the same. Amy thought, no wonder Borg can write the plot of the father-daughter relationship between himself and Magneto in the mirror space.

"I have a question, since Magneto handed me over to Professor X, why did you raise me?" Amy asked.

"Because my husband and child were sacrificed during the first mutant revolution." The adoptive mother said with a slightly sad tone, "At that time, Charles also needed someone to take over the child. You were very cute when you were young, with very beautiful eyes. Big, I thought, I must be your mother."

Just when Amy was about to be moved to tears, she suddenly thought of a question: "Wait, you said you are a mutant revolution, and you know Professor X?"

Amy knew about the mutant revolution, which was a war between ordinary people and mutants more than 20 years ago, and both sides suffered heavy losses.After that, it took Professor X a full ten years to make mutants gradually accepted by the public.

"Yes, that's what you guessed," said the adoptive mother. "I'm a mutant too."

Amy was stunned for a moment, and quickly recovered: "It's so cool, my mother is actually an X-Men!"

The adoptive mother smiled: "I'm not the X-Men, I belong to the administrative staff, and I don't participate in field missions."

"That's pretty cool." Amy asked enthusiastically, "What's your super power?"

"Current control." The adoptive mother showed her strength to the light bulb without hesitation.

Just like what Amy used to do in the game, the adoptive mother can release electricity and absorb it at the same time. The only difference is that Amy needs to use a suit, while the adoptive mother brings her own.

There are many real clues in the game, Amy thinks everything makes sense, and she also knows why the electricity bill at home is always low.

Amy remembered that Eric said to himself in the game, if there are children, I hope they can live an ordinary life, and it must be sincere, because even though he is ordinary, Magneto has not forgotten to pay the living expenses every month.

"You don't seem to be surprised at all?" said the adoptive mother, "Although you have been a very sensible child since you were a child, are you a little too calm? I thought you should at least question it, or that your mood fluctuated a lot. ?”

Amy thought for a while and said, "If you know what happened to me, you'll understand why I don't have any trouble now because I know my life experience."

Amy tells her adoptive mother about experiences that have long been wiped from everyone's memory, and now it's her turn to be shocked.

A week later, Amy came to the New York Temple, and she wanted to make the choice that was enough to put her back in crisis, because she didn't have to worry about implicating her adoptive mother, who was very supportive of her daughter's decision.

"Are you sure?" Strange said to Amy, "your peaceful life will be completely broken."

"Doctor, Magneto is my father, and Spiderman is my boyfriend." Amy said, "Maybe I still have a chance to touch the ear of a real Batman, is there anything more wonderful than these? "

Strange said disapprovingly, "I thought you were a fan of Iron Man."
