"Professor, how is the situation?"

In order to prevent Rita from losing control again and causing irreparable losses, Tony and Bruce had to inject her with tranquilizers after she fell into a coma to let her sleep peacefully, and sent her to the X Academy to find Professor Charles.

While checking Rita's mental state, Professor Charles asked Jean to take Rita's blood sample for further testing.

"I think you made the right choice to inject her with sedatives." Professor Charles, who had struggled with Rita's manic and restless emotions, also looked a little tired, "Her emotions are very restless now, I miss you This trouble must be resolved quickly. After all, losing a child is a very serious blow to a mother. According to the current development, I am afraid that soon the sedatives will not be able to suppress her emotional riots."

"Can't suppress it?" Bruce's face became more serious when he heard the news, "What does this mean?"

"At the very beginning... I still remember last year when Lita first awakened her mutant gene, she was killed by Stryker

The kidnapping to his secret base? "

"Yes, of course I do, but what's the connection?"

"At that time, because the secret base was destroyed, Stryker had already destroyed most of the experimental data before fleeing. But after all, time was tight, and we still collected a lot of data there that day, but because most of the experimental data It was artificially damaged, so Hank spent a lot of time recovering one by one. Not long ago, in the data recovered by Hank, we found the source of the other half of Rita's genes except Tony Stark, And some data from the lab during the first few years of Leta's life."

"What the hell is that? Professor, what exactly are you trying to say?" Thinking of Lita, who was getting worse and worse, and his missing daughter, Bruce became more and more impatient.

"We all know that Stryker has been committed to the study of mutants. On the one hand, he hates mutants, but on the other hand, he wants to use their unique abilities. Therefore, in his laboratory, he has extracted many different Ability mutant genes, and made into different types of gene enhancement drugs, although we have analyzed before, Rita's X gene is very special, she is almost not affected by other mutant genes, that is because Rita The source of the X gene is contemporaneous with Apocalypse, that is to say, they were the first mutants on Earth more than 5000 years ago. But I think one of them should be an exception."

Bruce immediately heard the crux of the problem: "You mean the apocalypse?"

"Yes." Charles nodded, "According to the information recovered by Hank, Rita received serum injections from Apocalypse and other mutants for a period of time when she was a child. Although Rita's genes are very special, She almost devoured all the other mutant genes, but I think Rita was too young at that time, her body was not fully developed, and the part of Apocalypse's serum still had an impact on her."

"What raised...influence?"

"He also strengthened Lita's ability, making her lose control step by step... According to my observation just now, although Qin's final test report has not yet come out, I think it should not be much different. Obviously, Lita Tower's abilities have been increasing, and she has adapted to a certain degree of chemicals such as tranquilizers, and I am afraid that soon even these tranquilizers will not be able to stop her."

"Then... what to do? Is there no other way?"

If it is true what Professor Charles said, Leta will eventually become a dangerous existence that may destroy all human beings anytime and anywhere. He and Stark have traveled through ten years and still have not been able to stop it. happened?

Do you want to...

No, it's not possible.

When they found out that year that she was Tony Stark's biological daughter, they couldn't do it to hurt her, let alone this girl is now his wife.

Jean Gray quickly sent the latest inspection report, and the data obtained were almost the same as Professor Charles' previous analysis.

The effect of the tranquilizer gradually weakened in Rita's body, this wasn't because the medicine gradually faded over time, but because Rita's body itself was producing resistance factors.

According to the data analysis obtained by Qin, it may take less than 72 hours for the antibodies produced in Rita's body to be sufficient to deal with the effects of any chemical agents.

Things seem to be worse than they expected.

Tony Stark, who also received the news, was more irritable than Bruce, with a tense face, pacing back and forth outside the ward where Rita was placed.

No need to ask, judging by Bruce's expression at the moment, he must have thought of what happened before they crossed over.

At that time, it wasn't that they hadn't thought about going back to the time before Rita's superpower broke out, and using more direct and violent means to get rid of this mutant who threatened the safety of the entire world.

However, a laboratory test report showed that the woman was related to himself.

All previously agreed plans had to be shelved.

How could he kill his own daughter!

But now, he thought that all of this was under his control.

Rita is so kind and simple, she doesn't want to use her super power to hurt anyone, but the reality pushes her to such a situation step by step.

What should he do?

Continue to protect her?

Of course, Rita is his only family member, his daughter, of course he will spare no effort to protect her from any harm, but if this world doesn't even exist, then what is the meaning of his protection and persistence ?

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

"I think there is another way to do it." S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury strode in, followed by Captain America Steve, but compared to Director Fury's composure, Steve's expression looked more It doesn't look very natural.

"Oh, my God, what are you doing here at this time?" Because of the memory of the future, Tony after time travel doesn't like S.H.I.E.L.D. or even the US government.

Especially when Nick Fury said so confidently that he could solve their crisis, Tony felt even worse.

"What? If I don't come, are you going to let that little girl in the room destroy the whole earth?" Director Fury pointed to the ward where Lita was sleeping not far away.

Tony stood in front of Director Fury directly, with a serious expression: "She is my daughter!"

"Listen Tony, I'm here to help you find a solution to your problem, and I don't mean to hurt her."

"Really?" Tony was dubious, and looked at Nick Fury again, "Tell me first? What do you want to do?"

"Remember when the captain was discovered by us that year? He has been sleeping under the ice for 70 years, and his body functions have not changed. Now we have more mature cryogenic technology, I think—"

"No, I don't agree." This time it was not Tony, but Bruce who was the first to express his refusal.

Although Nick Fury's proposal is a good way to achieve the best of both worlds, it will not harm Rita's life and prevent her superpower riots, but this also means that unless they can find a way to restrain Rita's superpowers Otherwise, she might have to sleep forever.

Ten years, 20 years, 70 years, until they all die.

How could he accept that the woman he loves the most is just a living dead lying in the freezer in the future?

They can no longer talk, hug, kiss together...

"Bruce..." Seeing the stalemate between Bruce and Nick Fury, Professor Charles hesitated for a while. Between friendship and the lives of all mankind, he had to make a choice, "I think Director Fury The method may already be the most ideal method we can think of at present."

Bruce didn't answer, he just shook his head slightly.

After listening to Professor Charles' analysis of Rita's current situation, he also knows that sooner or later Rita's superpowers will develop to the point of uncontrollable, and then the scene before he and Tony crossed will be repeated.

As Batman, he has always been calm and restrained. If the person lying in the room in front of him was not Leta, no matter who it was, he might agree to Nick Fury's suggestion without hesitation, and even said that he might still do it. Make more cruel decisions.

but……

that person……

It was the person he loved the most, the woman he once held hands and swore to protect her and take care of her for the rest of her life.

How could this make him so hard-hearted?

"If... there is really no other way..." Tony came over and patted Bruce on the shoulder. He knew the hesitation and struggle in Bruce's heart at the moment. As a father, his heart was no less painful than him. In the face of life, some sacrifices are unavoidable."

On the day they became superheroes, they had already assumed such a mission. For the sake of this planet and the billions of lives, they no longer have the right to be selfish.

"I...understand..." Bruce nodded, turned to look at Director Fury, and said firmly, "At least, let me tell her myself."

"It should." Tony nodded, and opened the door for him with his own hands.

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

The sedative injected into Rita's body lost its effectiveness even earlier than Professor Charles predicted, and Rita gradually regained consciousness.

Fortunately, her current body is still weak, and her thoughts are also a little chaotic, so she is not so lethal for the time being.

Unsurprisingly, the moment she opened her eyes and saw Bruce, she couldn't wait to ask, "Where's Honey? Have you found her?"

"Don't worry, she's safe now." Bruce sat up with his arms around Lita, and bought some warm water to moisten her throat, "Although we can't find Apocalypse's hiding place yet, Professor Charles can still sense our daughter's Existence, she is fine now. Apocalypse's purpose is to rule all non-mutants after all, Honey's ability is very important to him, and he will not rashly hurt her."

"But..." Upon hearing that her daughter was still missing, Rita's anxiety and worry surged into her heart, and the furniture in the room also trembled uneasily.

"Leta, relax." Bruce hugged her reassuringly, "I swear to you, I will bring her back intact."

"Really?"

"Honey, don't forget that I'm Batman." He kissed her forehead lightly, "Remember? Batman never disappoints."

Yes, she remembered.Just like any kid who grew up in Gotham remembers it clearly.

Batman defends all the people of Gotham City and never lets them down.

"But..." But, that person is Tianqi!That is said to be the ancestor of all mutants on earth, how could he be so easy to deal with.

"No, but, Rita, it's not just me, but also my Justice League, Tony and the Avengers, Professor Charles and his X Academy, we will definitely be able to bring Honey back safely."

Hearing Bruce mention so many powerful superheroes in one breath, Rita's uneasy heart finally calmed down a lot.

Yes, she has the most powerful superhero team in the world by her side. Any one of them has the ability to save the earth, and almost nothing can stump them. Her precious daughter should be able to safe?

"But Lita, there is one more important thing I want to tell you."
