Summer vacation life is always leisurely and pleasant.

During the vacation, Elvira would go to Gotham to play with Catherine from time to time, and also went to Xavier Junior School at the invitation of Professor X. She met Jean Grey, Scott Summers, and I met the twin brother of the Scarlet Witch, Pietro Maximoff, nicknamed Quicksilver.

Because Elvira can teleport as she pleases, Kuaiyin also happily competed with her for speed, but of course lost in the end, and the three-person team established a good friendship with her because of this.

Pietro has a distasteful personality and often wears a pair of goggles on his head. At the beginning, Elvira was not able to associate this prank-loving, smiling boy with the identity of "Brother Wanda". Later, she Only then did I realize that I had made a preconceived mistake that humans often make. The Scarlet Witch is not as serious and doesn’t like to laugh as Elvira thought. I learned that my brother lost to Elvira in the field of speed competition. Afterwards, she took the initiative to send a message, praising Elvira sincerely.

"Why do you think so? Although Wanda is much more mature than when she first joined Avengers, she can be quite childish sometimes."

It just rained last night, and there was a fresh and humid atmosphere brewing in the park. Elvira was sitting on a bench by the side of the road with a cup of coffee in her hand, beside her was Captain America, who was a bit taller than her.

"Maybe it's because she didn't smile when we first met." Elvira recalled her first meeting with the Scarlet Witch. "The expression was very serious, and she didn't say a few words the whole time."

Steve hummed, "At that time, she and Vision had just returned."

Elvira: "Did anything happen before that?"

"...Wanda's father is Magneto, a mutant who harbors deep malice towards humans." Steve looked at the flower bed not far away, with a faint melancholy on his brows, "He was in three Years ago, Wanda planned and carried out a very bad terrorist attack, and Wanda felt very guilty about it. She tried her best to do everything she could, but the guilt was always with her, so she chose to leave."

Elvira didn't speak.

Steve: "That's not her fault—we both know, luckily, she's got Visions with her."

"Hmm..." Elvira nodded thoughtfully, "If that's the case, why are you so sad?"

The person beside her cast a puzzled look at her.

Elvira: "You are also guilty. When talking about this incident that happened at the beginning, you also blame yourself, as if this incident is your responsibility, as if you have encountered similar incidents more than once."

"I just...hate war." The air smelled of green grass and soil, clouds drifted over their heads, the sun gathered and dissipated on the man's face, and the ending sound he left in the air seemed to melt into The wind picked up and gently brushed against Elvira's ears.

"—war of any kind."

He who was born for war hates war.

People who get honor for war hate war.

Elvira looked up at him and looked at him seriously. Those beautiful blue eyes looked back, quiet and deep, like dazzling stars twinkling in the night, more like a lighthouse in the fog, guiding people in the direction to go.

No, not that kind of person, Elvira thought silently.

It was not war that created him.

He came from the smoke and fire, and he was born of light and freedom.

In the park in the afternoon, the warm sun shines on his face, and he is lazy, as if he just woke up from a comfortable nap.Elvira propped her hands on the chair, her nose moved subtly, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.

"A scent of snow and pine."

Steve: "What?"

Elvira: "You smell very good."

Captain America, who was wearing everyday clothes, subconsciously raised his arm and sniffed.

"It's not perfume, you can't smell it yourself." Elvira said proudly, "Only I can smell it."

The upright Captain America didn't know how to react for a moment.

"Where is Magneto now?" Elvira asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Steve Rogers obviously didn't react.

"Didn't you say that Magneto doesn't like humans, he planned a terrorist attack three years ago, Wanda—and you, you all don't want this to happen, since this is the case, it is not necessary to solve the problem from the source Enough?"

This time, Captain America quickly got what Elvira meant, "After that attack, Magneto was imprisoned in a prison specially designed for him in Washington. Two months later, the prison was destroyed and Magneto escaped. , so far it has not appeared."

"I can find him." Elvira shrugged, "It's easy."

Out of an inexplicable strange feeling, Steve tentatively asked, "What are you going to do after you find it?"

"Let him turn back to an ordinary person?" Elvira recalled the information about the mutants, "They are all born with genetic mutations, if there is no problem with the genes—"

"Avella." Steve interrupted her in a serious tone, "Genes are something that everyone will have."

The girl blinked incomprehensibly, "So?"

Steve: "...I didn't know you had the ability to modify genes."

Gene modification, what a scary word.

Elvira: "I'm amazing, I've said it before."

Humans live on this land, on this planet, and in the very first moments of time, there was no life at all on this beautiful blue and white star.

People are born and reproduce here, they are constantly learning, evolving, creating, and constantly seeking.Some people say that we must be grateful to Mother Earth and guard our homeland carefully, while others emphasize that human beings and the earth are interdependent and harmonious.

— But Elvira doesn't think so.

She does not rely on humans, nor does she need humans. She has given these people a lot of things, and she can change them back at any time.

She just didn't do that.

After leaving Central Park, Elvira followed Captain America to a convenience store on the side of the street. They did not continue the conversation just now. To be more precise, it was Captain America who deliberately prevented the topic from going deeper.Elvira ate rice balls, sandwiches, and three boxes of ice cream in one sitting—Steve didn't stop her.

Because it's normal, it's normal for Elvira.

Elvira sometimes uses words like kindness and kindness to describe Steve Rogers, and the other party really feels to her like the gentle and considerate elders in TV dramas.

But his thoughtfulness is not too much, and will not give Elvira a sense of superiority and self-righteousness. This kind of concern is sincere, light, and makes people feel like spring breeze.

Avella shared with him her life, studies, leisure, the people she met, and the things she experienced. The other party never said what you should do or what you must do, let alone what you should not do, even if Ivy What La mentioned was only very ordinary or even trivial things in daily life, and the man would listen patiently, and if Elvira needed it, he would seriously give his own advice.

Therefore, sometimes, more and more often, Elvira no longer talks about words like kindness and kindness. She is not an elder, but a reliable big brother, and she is a child who is loved and cared for.

Beloved child——Catherine's evaluation as if she was joking.

And she loves it.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, there were not many customers in the convenience store. The two sat in the dining area by the window, and Elvira kept talking.Just as she was tearing open another bag of potato chips with ease, Steve received a call from the Avengers base. A violent man who appeared to be a mutant appeared in Brooklyn. The police were no match for him. The task moved to the side of the Avengers.

Captain America went back to the Avengers Building to get his shield, and rushed to the scene of the incident as quickly as possible. With Elvira, the walking super accelerator, the whole process did not exceed 5 minutes.

Captain America, who was in emergency rescue, did not put on his iconic uniform, but his actual combat effectiveness would not be weakened by not wearing a uniform.Elvira noticed that the moment the other party appeared in front of the violent elements, the commotion in the crowd subsided instantly, and the policemen who were holding their guns up as if they were facing the enemy also obviously relaxed.

He hasn't done anything yet, he just stands there quietly, and he can give people great strength.

"Captain America?" The violent elements who are suspected to be mutants obviously recognized him, and the man let out an unidentified hum, he opened his hands and made a posture to welcome the attack, "Come on, let me see you How powerful it is."

The police with guns began to evacuate the surrounding people with great experience, and Elvira stood quietly on the corner of the street, not joining the battle not far away.

"I thought you would help him." Iron Man in the battle suit landed steadily beside her, with a very relaxed tone.

"Steve can solve it, that person is not his opponent."

Tony Stark noticed the change in Elvira's address, touched his chin with a smile, "You're right." He looked up not far away, and affirmed: "The captain will end this battle soon. "

Ten minutes later, the solo battle between Captain America and the mutants ended with the former knocking out the latter with a shield. Iron Man lifted the man's collar and threw him directly into the police car.

"Aren't you going back to the Avengers Building?" Elvira asked a little strangely, "This matter is settled by you, and those policemen can't beat him."

"You're right." Iron Man, who originally wanted the police to drive the man back to the joint base, was very good at climbing, "How about you help deliver it?"

Elvira didn't refuse.

After the group teleported back to the Avengers Building, Captain America and Iron Man took the unconscious man directly to the interrogation room. During this period, Professor X also took the initiative to call.Elvira walked to the living room very naturally to enjoy delicious snacks. Also staying in the living room were Scarlet Witch and Vision who did not participate in the interrogation.

Ivy moved her nose, but she didn't smell the sour smell of the legendary couple brand. Wanda still had the sweet smell she smelled at first, and the vision had no smell because he was not a real human being.

The TV in the living room was broadcasting the incident of suspected mutants attacking ordinary citizens not long ago. The three of them sat face to face on the sofa. Elvira gave Wanda the chocolate she thought was the best. The red-haired girl smiled and told her Talked about my brother who is still in Westchester.

"Pietro sent me a message a few days ago, did you have a conflict?"

"No?" Elvira said uncertainly, "He can't be angry until now because I told the truth, right?"

Wanda: "What big truth?"

Elvira: "We played a game at the time. One person had to make a factual evaluation of another person. The person concerned could not refute it, but could only admit it. If he didn't admit it, he would lose."

"Hmm..." Wanda faintly sensed something, "So you're talking about...?"

Elvira: "Even if you were born 12 minutes earlier than Wanda, it can't change the fact that your sister has a partner and you don't, and this fact may last for a lifetime."

Wanda: "..."

This is too harsh.
