"Eighteen years ago, you personally left me at the gate of the orphanage in Gotham City."

Even Bruce was shocked when Lita uttered these words in an understatement.

"How did you...know about this?"

She lost her memory, didn't she?And even if Lita Stark didn't have amnesia, she shouldn't remember it long ago, otherwise she wouldn't have never mentioned this matter to herself.

"Huh?" Bruce's reaction surprised Rita, "Do you remember?"

Speaking of which, Bruce doesn't really remember it.

At that time, he was still heartbroken by the corruption and depravity of Gotham City, that is, he had not yet become Batman, and he did not save a little girl by chance and entrusted him to an orphanage to be raised. Take it to heart.

If it wasn't for investigating Lita's status as a mutant later, he wouldn't have known about this little incident back then.

In fact, in Bruce's eyes, he always thought that Lita didn't remember, after all, she didn't even have the memory of being born in Stryker's laboratory.

"Okay, since you also know about this, I will explain the next thing clearly." Lita pushed Bruce's arms away, although the cold that hit Zou Ran made her shiver, she was still quite happy. He straightened his body and stood in front of Bruce.

"I haven't recovered my memory. But this morning, I accidentally discovered the diary I wrote before, which recorded the process of my acquaintance with you." Lita rubbed her hands that were so cold that she was a little unconscious, "It can be said, The I who used to really love you, not only because you saved my life, but also because you gave me support and encouragement when I was most at a loss. At that time, I even wanted to be with you at any cost. You are together, even if you don't love me."

"However, these are all in the past, Bruce. I don't know why you were willing to marry me back then, whether it was emotion, pity, or something else, these are not important anymore."

"One day ago, I was still complaining that you were a scumbag who was irresponsible to your wife and family. I was still aggrieved for falling into such a marriage, and even wanted to teach you a lesson and take revenge on you. But now I see it all , I will not resent anything anymore, after all, I was the one who insisted on being with you at the beginning, after all, I was the idiot who thought that as long as I guarded you, I would be happy."

"So, Bruce, this time I proposed divorce to you after careful consideration. It's not because I want to care about whether you love me or not, whether you can be a qualified husband, but because I want to let go. I don't There's no such thing as great to say 'I want to set you free'. I just want to set myself free. Okay?"

"Of course—" In Lita's affectionate and sincere expression, Bruce couldn't say "no" at all, but his rationality also reminded him that if he really let go this time, he might never have another chance "Of course not, I know I've done a terrible job, I've let you down, I've let you down, but Rita, I don't want to lose you."

"Bruce...why..." Rita looked up at him, at this moment she saw the sincerity and hope in his eyes.

She knew that he was sincere and sincerely wanted to keep him.

But why did he regret it at this time, when she had obviously forgotten and let go of everything?

Rita's tears suddenly burst out uncontrollably.

However, she was still like that, with her head raised, staring at each other, motionless.

Bruce had never seen Lita crying like this, it was a kind of silent tears, drop by drop, it hurt to the bottom of my heart, a kind of indescribable sorrow.

Those were tears of extreme sadness, he could even feel the breath of infinite grief emanating from her body, and his eyes were reddened even he couldn't restrain it.

"Why are you saying these things at this time? Why at this time?" Then she began to mutter, from small questions to cheesy shouts, "Why the hell? Why, you can't ...can't be earlier...as long as it's earlier..."

How good would it be if his persuasion could come earlier?

How good would it be if his hug could come earlier?

If she hadn't forgotten all this, now she should be weeping with joy, crying like a fool, wantonly venting her grievances and waiting for so long.

She used to look forward to it with her life but couldn't get it. Now she really let go, but that man just put it in front of her eyes...

too late, isn't it?

Does he know how many tears the girl who waited hard every night and couldn't sleep for him shed for him?

Does he know that the girl once conceived a hundred and a thousand beautiful futures for the future of this family, but they have all been trampled by his ruthlessness and turned into nothingness.

Their love has long been consumed by the man's indecision.

Every day, every night, his deliberate estrangement and pretended tenderness were killing that girl's love for him over and over again.

Until, she even chose to forget, and forgot everything, happy and sad.

She had already forgotten the feeling of loving him, but she could still remember the bone-piercing pain, which was deep in her memory, imprinted in her heart, and deep into the bone marrow...

"Leta, I'm sorry...I'm really sorry." Regardless of her struggle, Bruce hugged the crying girl tightly again, "Don't cry, I don't know, I will make you so uncomfortable Please give me another chance, I promise I won't make you sad again."

"Bruce..." Lita shook her head, "But, I don't remember anything, I have already forgotten how I loved you."

"It's okay, you don't need to remember, you don't need to." He began to kiss her cheek gently, little by little, kissing away her tears, "I will make you fall in love with me again."

Lita felt that her refusal was also lacking confidence, probably because deep down in her heart, she was always used to compromise for this man.

"But, I don't want to—" She was still shaking her head, and just about to push him away, three people suddenly appeared beside her...

The man in the lead was handsome, with blond hair and blue eyes. When he smiled, his brows and eyes were curved, which even made people feel as comfortable as a spring breeze.

He approached Lita step by step, with a soft and moving voice, "Lita, long time no see."

"Uh... who are you?" Lita was a little confused at that time, and even forgot to be sad.

Such a handsome guy, if they have met before, she has no reason not to know him!

"Jeff Walter..." Bruce frowned and looked at the youth who suddenly appeared.

Of course Rita doesn't remember, this man is the scum who once pursued Rita, became Rita's husband ten years later, and finally used her mutant ability to destroy the whole world...

"Huh?" Lita looked at Bruce's expression and was even more convinced that this man seemed to be an acquaintance. "Should I know him?"

"Since you don't remember it, forget it." Feeling a little bored, the blond youth suddenly turned into a strange blue-skinned mutant, "Child, do you have a little impression now?"

"This voice...you are..." Of course Lita doesn't remember this face, but she recognizes this voice. It is the voice that taught herself to use superpowers through spiritual communication in Stryker's secret laboratory that day. , "Your name is En Sha|ba..."

"You can call me Tianqi."

"Uh... hello, what do you need from me?"

"Yes, this world has been ruled by these stupid humans for too long, it's time for them to know who is their real master, will you join me? My child..."

"..." Where did this snake spirit disease come from?

"Sorry, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't have such a grand goal in life yet."

"I think you've misunderstood. I'm not here to ask for your opinion." Before the blue-faced man named Tianqi could make a move, two guys with even stranger looks came up behind him.

A young man with metal wings, and a tall woman with half a metal mask.

"What are you going to do?" Lita became nervous. She had seen too many mutants at X Academy, and she knew that the two people in front of her must have extraordinary superpowers.

But now, there are only her, a mutant who doesn't know how to use her superpowers, and her fighting skills are completely sloppy, and this tall but useless man beside her...

But Bruce blocked Lita behind him, "I'll hold them back, you go back to X College to find the professor and inform about it."

"Are you kidding me? Do you want to die?" That blue-faced snake spirit only wanted to let mutants rule the world, so how could he care about the life of an ordinary human?

"Their target is you, of course I want to protect your safety."

"It's because their target is me, so they will not threaten my life, but you, you should—"

"I won't leave you alone."

Bruce knew that at this time, saying these words was actually a bit emotional.

He is not Batman now, and he doesn't have bat armor and equipment around him. Although this doesn't mean that he can't resist these mutants, and he doesn't mind if his identity will be exposed in front of Rita, but he really doesn't have much confidence. Especially the guy calling himself Apocalypse.

He once saw records about him in the data of Stryker's legacy. He is the first mutant in human history according to legend, and he possesses unlimited abilities.

However, it turns out that these discussions between Lita and Bruce are superfluous. Tianqi, who has a powerful ability to control molecules, easily imprisoned the two of them with sand and stones by the sea.

Even if Rita showed the steel bracer Tony made for her, it would not help.

To prevent the effects of Leta's superpowers, the masked woman injected her with anesthesia and turned to deal with Bruce Wayne.

"Take him too." Tian Qi said suddenly.

"But he's just an ordinary person?"

"Yes, but he is the key to unlocking this girl..."

********************************

X Academy.

This afternoon, Professor Charles is teaching a physics class to the students.

The door of the classroom was knocked hastily by Logan.

"Professor, Rita is missing."

"What?" Charles was taken aback, as if he still didn't understand the situation.

"Mr. Stark's phone." Logan handed over the phone.

"Professor, my daughter is in danger now. I'm coming to you. I need you to help me find her." After answering the phone, Tony's anxious voice came over.

"What's the situation now?"

"The steel wristband I gave Lita has a positioning device. In order to protect her safety, once the signal is lost or the signal is beyond the safe range, Jarvis will start the tracking program and call the police. Just ten minutes ago, I lost Lita's signal. And the source of the signal Jarvis finally located was in Egypt, so I have reason to believe that something happened to her."

"In the afternoon, didn't Rita go out with Mr. Wayne?"

"Yes, now Bruce Wayne has also lost contact."

"Okay, I understand, I'll wait for you at school."

After hanging up the phone, Charles hastily suspended the class, ready to go to the control room to try to use the mastermind to find Rita's whereabouts.

Facing him, he actually saw——

Magneto - Eric Lanshere.

The four eyes met, and they were speechless for a while.

"Hi, old friend." Finally, Magneto greeted him first.

He actually wanted to ask him, how have you been doing these years, whether your school is going well, and whether you are one step closer to your ideal, but in the end, there is only one "old friend".

"Eric, you... why are you here? You are..." Charles was also a little incoherent for a while.

Since the last farewell, he could barely remember how many years had passed, and thought that they would never have the chance to meet again in this lifetime.

"I have something to talk to you about."

"Well, okay, of course it's okay, but... I may have some important things to deal with right now. I have a student who has disappeared, and she may have been taken away by someone. So..."

"Charles, that's what I'm here for. I know who he is."

"what?"

"En Sha|ba Nur, he calls himself Apocalypse." Magneto began to talk about the process of his meeting with Apocalypse not long ago, and the mutant's crazy plan.

"So, you mean, he wants to lead his men to destroy all ordinary humans in this world?"

"Yes, that's right, and he has the ability to swallow the abilities of other mutants as his own." Magneto paused, recalling what he saw, "I have seen it with my own eyes, he took a mutant named Jeff Walter's mutant body is his own, and he has the ability to not only change his appearance at will, but even control his mind to a certain extent."

In fact, the mutant named Jeff Walter was found by him, because Apocalypse originally saw Charles Xavier's ability, of course Magneto omitted this detail.

It was also because of this that he didn't want his only old friend in this world to be injured, so he chose to leave that guy and come here.

"Wait, I just heard Jeff Walter?"

Charles and Eric were chatting, and outside the house, Tony Stark in steel armor had hurried over.

"What's wrong with this man?"

"Professor, do you still remember what happened to Rita ten years later. That person..."

"It's him?" Charles also recalled this memory.

If they hadn't timed, ten years later, Tony would not have known that he had a daughter named Rita, and Rita had never been discovered to have mutant abilities until she married a mutant named Jeff Walter.

Jeff Walter is a handsome guy, he conquered the ordinary girl Rita with his sunshine and gentleness.

But after marriage, her life was not happy. The man seemed to have known her life experience a long time ago. He imprisoned her, abused her, and used her body to do various experiments.

Until Rita's mutant abilities finally awaken...

"However, shouldn't he appear ten years later..."

"No, I think we are all mistaken." Tony finally came to a conclusion after briefly understanding some information about Apocalypse, "In fact, it was never Walter who awakened Rita's mutant abilities, but Apocalypse all along , what we see Walter ten years later should be the apocalypse after absorbing Walter's ability."

"However, you and I both know that Rita's emotional control superpower does not have a large-scale lethality. Two days ago in Gotham, she affected the emotions of a dozen ordinary humans, and she was almost exhausted. Without her spiritual power, what does Apocalypse want?" After Tony's analysis, Charles was even more puzzled.

"No, actually we never knew what Rita's true mutant abilities were."

Tony recalls the day ten years later when the whole world came crashing down.

Endless sorrow and grief swept across the entire earth, no one knew why, it was just such a brief moment...

It's as if everything doesn't exist anymore.

If it weren't for Batman taking Damian on his space watchtower, and he happened to be wearing a steel suit and experimenting with the functions of space flight...

All will perish at the end of the world...
