"So," Stark looked at the crown on Queenie's head, "you are the little princess of Asgard now?" Turning to Thor again, "Are you really an uncle too?"

In front of the big round table at the Avengers base, Stark was sitting or not, with an obvious interest in watching a good show in his eyes.

To his left are Natasha and the Captain, and to his right are Dr. Banner, Hawkeye and Thor.Queenie and Luciferan sat across from each other.

Sol pretended to be calm, moved in the small chair that was struggling to support his strong body, and sneaked a glance at Queenie and her crown out of the corner of his eye.

Queenie ignored him, wondering why Thor followed them back to Earth.

She took off the crown. "This is a gift." She said, turning her palms over, and the shining silver crown disappeared.

"Mr. Lucifer Morningstar, Miss Queenie," Nick Fury stood at the head of the conference table and said, "I was in a hurry last time, and I couldn't discuss many things in detail. I hope this time I can have the opportunity to talk to the two— After a clever pause of two seconds, Nick Fury spit out the last two words, "—Talk about it."

Stark whispers in Queenie's ear for all to hear: "He wants you to join the Avengers."

"Tony!" Nick Fury warned.

Stark shrugged nonchalantly, winked at Queenie again, but sat down obediently.

Lucifer looked at Queenie and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything - anyway, she made her own decision and would not listen to him...

Nick Fury, who was spoiled, saved a lot of foreshadowing, and said to Queenie straight to the point: "Yes, members of the Avengers and I sincerely invite you to join us."

The Avengers sitting around the table all looked at her, sizing up, scrutinizing, and hesitating.Oh, frowning and hesitant to speak, that's Saul.Only Steve gave her a friendly smile.

Queenie looked over one by one, and finally returned to Nick Fury.

Queenie looked at his piercing single eye and suddenly smiled.

She said, "I think Saul wanted to tell you that I almost killed him just now." She raised her eyebrows, "Are you still inviting me to join you?"

Lucifer laughed.

Gaining everyone's attention, Lucifer waved his hand and said apologetically, "Sorry, I'm not—" He paused, and changed his words happily, "Well, I did it on purpose."

Nick Fury glanced at Lucifer, then turned to Saul.

Saul said, "Of course it's not..." It's true...

As if Nick Fury didn't hear it, he turned around and continued to say to Queenie: "It's nothing, I tried to strangle Tony Stark to death a thousand times, but aren't they all alive now?"

Didn't kill a thousand times."Then you're a bit of a failure," Queenie said. She gave Stark a look, and he looked deadly.

Stark: "..."

Nick Fury smiled: "It is true, maybe I should work harder."

Stark: "??!!..." The boat of friendship turned over as soon as it said it.

Queenie tilted her head and looked straight into his single eye: "You don't really want me to join, you're just worried that I'll become your enemy, right?"

Lucifer smiled approvingly.Smart girl.

Nick Fury didn't deny it, looked back at her, and asked, "Will you?"

Queenie pointed at Saul: "As long as you don't help him grab the throne of Asgard together, I won't be your enemy."

Stark said "Wow!" with a look of surprise, and looked her over from head to toe: "I can't tell, you want to be the king of Asgard!" He gave her a thumbs up with admiration, " Good on you!"

Queenie said, "It's not me, it's Hela."

Stark's handsome face was instantly disappointed, and he silently retracted the thumb he just stretched out.

Sol looked at Queenie and said seriously: "If she is a good heir, I can give her the throne. But obviously she is not, and I cannot hand over the people of Asgard to her. "

Facing Saul's just speech, Queenie said calmly: "Only those who are capable can protect the people and things they want to protect." Looking into Saul's gaze, "Can you?"

"Tsk," Stark said, "it seems that the family has a throne to inherit, and it is indeed a troublesome thing."

Nick Fury interrupts their argument. "This is your family business. The Avengers are only responsible for safeguarding the safety of the earth." The implication is that you can grab the throne yourself, and the Avengers will not interfere.

Saul: "..." Plastic Brotherhood...

Queenie nodded reassuringly.

Nick Fury looked at her.Nodding your head, you can tell me if you want to join or not.

Queenie blinked and looked at him innocently, seemingly forgetting that he had invited her to join the Avengers a moment earlier.

Director Fury took a deep breath: "You don't need to answer immediately to join the Avengers, you can consider..."

Queenie said, "Don't think about it, I refuse."

Chief Fury, who was stuck in one breath: "..."

Queenie looked at him strangely: "I said, as long as you don't help Thor to grab the throne of Asgard together, I won't be your enemy. So you don't have to force me to invite me to join the Avengers."

Director Fury: I am not reluctant, who said I was reluctant? !Even Sol can't beat you. If you don't pull this kind of combat power into your own camp, is it possible to keep it for the enemy to pick up?

Queenie said that a refusal was a real refusal, but Nick Fury's reaction made her a little curious.She tilted her head, looked at him with bright eyes and asked, "Am I really that good?"

"Uh..." Facing someone who praised him so bluntly, Director Fury didn't know how to answer for a moment.

The tin can next to it opened its mouth and came: "It's so powerful! It's so powerful that you have to join our Avengers!"

Queenie paused for a few seconds looking very serious, then said, "Okay."

Nick Fury: "..." Is this okay? !

Lucifer: "..." Woman, your name is Merciful!

When I went out in the morning, I was still "Sean's little follower Queenie", and when I came back at night, I became "Avenger Queenie".

But of course these had no effect on Queenie.The reason she agreed to join the Avengers was partly because Stark was very happy to praise her.On the other hand, she found that if she didn't agree, they didn't seem to let her go so quickly.

Although she can walk away, no one can stop her, but she doesn't hate those people, and she thinks that they must not hate her to be willing to invite her to join the Avengers Alliance—even though she doesn't know this organization at all. How to understand.

So she is willing to treat them with human courtesy.

Queenie didn't delve into what it means to join the Avengers and what to do.Nick Fury and the other Avengers didn't immediately demand anything from her either.

It seemed like Queenie guessed they just wanted to make sure she wasn't the enemy.

It was not until a long time later that Queenie understood what an avenger is and what a responsibility is.Before that, she still has a long way to go.

The Devil King Lucifer is still hesitating whether to send her back to San Jose himself, will she refuse?

Stark, who has no tasks and is a little free recently, also plans to use his own private jet to send them back, and then it is logical to watch her little doctor who talks about it all day long.

As a result, Queenie didn't give anyone a chance. She said goodbye politely, turned around, and disappeared in place.

Lucifer: "..."

Stark: "..."

A few seconds later, Stark looked back and forth between Lucifer and Thor, and asked, "Is your family's ability to travel through space genetic?"

Lucifer didn't speak.

Sol shook his head.

As far as the Avengers know, Lucifer, the king of hell, does not have this ability.Hella didn't know.

"What is the maximum range of space she can travel through?" Stark's scientist's mind went online, "Can she travel between interstellar universes?"

"The Rainbow Bridge she used to go to Asgard." Sol reminded him.

"Queenie now..." Lucifer said, then stopped suddenly.

"Queenie still doesn't know much about her abilities right now, and she might not be able to perform more than one out of ten." Nick Fury helped him finish.The black and bright single eye is even more sharp and compelling on the dark cheeks.

Saul opened his mouth and closed it again.Twelve out of ten... Then one day when all her abilities are awakened, how powerful will she be?

Lucifer frowned.Nothing is powerful without a price.Compared to awakening her power and becoming stronger, he hoped that she would stay like this.

"What conspiracy do you have for letting Queenie join the Avengers?" Before leaving, Lucifer stared at Nick Fury's one-eyed eye with his demon eyes and asked.

"Mr. Lucifer Morningstar," Nick Fury said, "I personally and the entire Avengers can assure you that as long as Queenie doesn't use her abilities to do evil, the Avengers will never do anything against her." thing. Instead, she’s part of the Avengers, one of our comrades in arms — at least I sincerely hope that one day.”

It is not easy to seduce a strong-willed person like Nick Fury with the ability of the devil.He is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the creator of the Avengers, and an agent of agents.Maybe he represents the righteous side of mankind at this moment, but no one knows better than Lucifer that the great achievements of such a person are also made of numerous corpses.In terms of cunning, brutality and determination, he is no worse than any villain.

But Lucifer believed what he just said.

**

It was night when Queenie got back to San Jose.Sean hadn't gotten off work yet, and Queenie came directly to the hospital.

Standing in the hospital lobby, Queenie really noticed the special smell here for the first time.A smell that belongs only to the hospital.

Queenie hadn't been to any other hospital, she woke up in this hospital.Maybe before she opened her eyes, her body got acquainted with the smell here.Sean also had a similar smell, so she didn't pay special attention to it before.

Now she vaguely felt that it was a reassuring smell.Let her know that this is where she can stop and find the person she's looking for.

Sean didn't notice her.

When Queenie saw him, a bright smile appeared on her face without knowing it.People passing by accidentally glimpsed this moment of flower blooming and were stunned.

Queenie didn't call his name either, just ran forward happily.Sean, who was concentrating on a patient's treatment plan, didn't notice it until she rushed in front of him.

Before she had time to say anything, Queenie jumped up briskly in one go, wrapped her long arms around his neck, and hugged him tightly.

Although this is not the first time the two have embraced intimately, Sean is still so nervous that he doesn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Queenie's face was pressed against his.Her skin was cool at night, but his was warm.Queenie squinted her eyes comfortably, rubbing her face back and forth against his face like a cat.

Sean's face got hotter, almost scalding hot.

But, I like it very much.

"Sean," Queenie said, hugging him, "I kind of miss you."

In fact, they hadn't been separated for a long time—more than not, it couldn't be considered a separation.

In the past, when Sean was very busy at work, Queenie would play alone.Sometimes I go to Glassman to "chat about life", sometimes I watch other interesting patients, and sometimes I sleep alone in the office assigned to her.

In short, the time spent today is about the same.

But Queenie felt that today was extremely long, as if she and Sean had been separated for a long, long time.

About before they were all in a hospital building, but today she went to another country and met many familiar or unfamiliar people.I also had a fight with a hammer god, and found that I can conjure many weapons, which looks quite powerful.

It wasn't a bad experience, but it was nothing compared to missing him.

Sean finally put his hand on her back slowly, and said in a low voice but earnestly, "I miss you too." After a pause, he added, "Thinking about it many times."

He is very busy today, receiving four critically ill patients and having two major operations.However, in every spare moment, he would think of her.Thinking that she is not here today, I don't know what I am doing at the moment.

Queenie let go of his neck and looked at him with starry green eyes, glad he was like her.

"Many times is how many times?" she asked.

Sean reluctantly moved his hands away from her body, and actually answered accurately: "27 times."

"Wow!" Queenie applauded and said, "It's amazing!"

These words seemed to be praising him, but Sean didn't know if this kind of thing was worth praising.

There was a slight cough from the side.

The two turned their heads when they heard the sound, and Queenie realized that Melendez, Jared, and Claire were all there.There were also two surgical nurses, both looking at them jokingly.

Jared leaned on the nurse's desk with one hand and said, "Those who didn't know thought you two would meet again after a long absence, instead of sitting together and having breakfast face to face in the morning."

"Ten hours is a long time," Queenie said.

Jared raised an eyebrow and nodded in conviction.

Claire smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to him, he's purely jealous."

Jared glanced at Claire, but said nothing.

Queenie knew that Jared and Claire sometimes slept together—she could, if she wanted to, know almost everything that was going on at the hospital.It's just that Jared and Claire thought no one knew their secret.But as far as Queenie knew, Glassman knew about it too.

This human old man seems to have a superpower, that is, sometimes he can see a long-hidden secret with just one look at a person.Although he doesn't have mind reading skills like Queenie.

Despite knowing about Jared and Claire's little secret, Queenie doesn't know exactly what it means, or why they're keeping such a small thing a secret.

She and Sean also live together, and everyone knows about it.She could see nothing to hide.

"Okay." Melendez finally said, "Everyone can get off work. You have worked hard today, go home and have a good rest."

Queenie had indeed had a good night's rest, for she had sneaked into Sean's bed, and Sean hadn't sent her off.

"I found the person I was looking for." Queenie said, lying next to Sean obediently, "she looks pretty good. It's just a little unhappy like before."

Sean lay on his back in a more standard posture, with his hands folded on his stomach, and he stared at the darkness in front of him with his eyes open, motionless.

Queenie turned her head slightly, looked at him in the dim light and asked, "Can we do some bad things just to make someone happy?"

Her light breath blew on his neck, soft and warm.

Sean's folded hands tightened instantly.

After a while, he said: "There are no 'good things' and 'bad things', only 'things you want to do' and 'things you don't want to do.' You think it is a 'bad thing' because You don't want to do this."

Even though he was staring nervously at the ceiling, what Sean said was still clear and logical.

Yeah?Queenie was lost in thought.

Wouldn't she want to kill Odin or Thor and help Hela regain the throne of Asgard?

With such doubts, Queenie slowly fell asleep.

***

Despite her doubts, Queenie still slept contentedly.

However, more than 500 kilometers away, some people did not sleep so well.

The night of the human world can sometimes be as dense as hell.Especially on nights when there are no stars and moons, and you happen to be tossing and turning alone and unable to fall asleep.

Lucifer finally gave up on sleeping completely, walked out of the bedroom, and came to the bar downstairs.

He went to the bar and poured himself a glass of whiskey—the bourbon that had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Who is Bourbon?"

There seemed to be that clear and pleasant voice coming from his ears again, and the pale green eyes staring at him with curiosity and doubt.

He didn't turn on the light, and there was a street lamp outside the floor-to-ceiling window facing the road, which was shining lonely and coldly, and some faint light came in, but it seemed that it would disappear at any time, leaving the world in darkness.

The period before dawn is always dark and long, and it seems that it will never pass.

A feeling of death.unbearable.

Holding the wine glass, Lucifer blankly looked at the small piece of light outside the window.After he returned from New York, the conversation with his mother came back to mind.

No, it didn't come to mind, but to the big floor-to-ceiling window in front of my eyes.He stood in front of the window, like a spectator, listening to and watching other people's farce.

"How could you let her go?!" Charlotte yelled, "How could you let her go alone?! She is your daughter, our family, and should live with us!"

family?Lucifer smiled sarcastically, with a cynical look on his face.

"Listen to you—" he deliberately paused until Charlotte looked at him expectantly, and then said viciously, "—she chose to walk away, which is absolutely right!"

"Lucifer!" Charlotte yelled angrily, "she is still a child, you should not let her live alone in the human world. Human beings may be fragile, but they are insidious and cunning, you know this better than me. She may be in danger."

Lucifer hesitated for a second.His mother was indeed a good demagogue.

"Let me remind you one last time, my mother." Lucifer said, "She is not my daughter and has nothing to do with me!"

He looked serious and serious, but Charlotte didn't care at all.

"You know you're just kidding yourself," Charlotte said.

Lucifer was too lazy to refute.Whether it's self-deception or the truth, it doesn't do any good to get involved in their chaotic family.

Charlotte was not someone who was willing to give up easily, she walked up to Lucifer and looked into his eyes affectionately.

"I know you haven't adjusted to your new identity yet. I was overwhelmed for a long time when I found out that I was going to have my first child. Trust me, if you live together for a while, you will become a close family. If you are embarrassed, I can go and pick her up, for you, I..."

Lucifer laughed suddenly, interrupting his mother's "expression of true feelings".

"Lucifer!" Obviously his reaction made Charlotte extremely displeased.

"As far as I know about you, mother. Every time you play the role of a loving mother, it means that you are brewing a big conspiracy."

"I am your mother, Lucifer," Charlotte complained. "I would never hurt my child. Queenie is your daughter, and I love her as I love you."

Lucifer raised his left hand and looked at the watch on his wrist pretendingly: "The performance time is over, mother. We are all amazed by your superb acting skills."

Charlotte, who was frustrated continuously, was finally furious: "Am I doing it for myself?! Have you ever thought about what it means for her to be the daughter of you and the God of Death in Asgard? There are two supreme gods in her body." Strength, she might be able to help us..."

"Mother!" Lucifer suddenly raised his voice, staring at his mother with sharp eyes. "This is your real purpose, isn't it?!" Lucifer laughed angrily, "It's not surprising at all, this is my mother, thousands or tens of thousands of years are like a day."

"Lucifer..." Charlotte tried to grab his arm reassuringly, but was thrown away.

"But to disappoint you," Lucifer looked at her sarcastically, "Queenie is not a tool for you to return to heaven!"

"I know, I didn't use her as a tool." Charlotte retorted, "She can go back with us. Don't you want to take her to the Garden of Eden where you grew up?"

……

Lucifer suddenly raised his hand and threw the wine glass in his hand towards the farce on the glass window.

"Crash!" There was a loud noise.The entire glass window shattered, and the farce disappeared.

go back?To him it was just a place to give up and betray him, why would he go back?

Though he warns Charlotte that if she dares to grab Queenie's attention, he doesn't mind fulfilling his father's wish to lock her back into hell.

But he knows his mother, in order to achieve his goal, she will not give up.

There was only a dilapidated window hole in front of him, and the decadent night outside the window lost its limit, and rushed towards this quiet and small bar in an instant, soaking him in it.

……

Queenie, who was more than 500 kilometers away, didn't know that she was missed by so many people, and she quickly returned to her normal life.

On this day, Queenie and Sean came to the hospital together as usual.

Dr. Xiao En immediately threw himself into the busy work.Queenie thought about it alone, and was about to wander slowly to the old dean's office, when suddenly there was a chaotic noise outside the emergency room. Get agitated.

Queenie stopped.The emergency cot flew towards her.

Queenie saw a middle-aged man in a worker's uniform half-sitting on the emergency bed in a strange and difficult posture.The reason why the man was sitting instead of lying down was because his left shoulder blade was completely pierced by a slender steel pipe, and the blood on the back of his chest was completely soaked.

Queenie noticed that he had two broken fingers on his left hand—the ring finger and the little finger were only half broken, bloody and bloody.

The man was held down by two medical staff, screaming in pain.

The bloody smell and noisy sound waves rushed past Queenie.

The picture is very impactful, but Queenie has no strong feeling.She has lived with a group of undead since she was born, and she has seen more bloody, mutilated bodies and souls.

She was about to turn sideways so the blood wouldn't get on her body.

Suddenly there was another commotion at the door.Queenie turned her head and saw a long-haired middle-aged woman leading two human children, like a doe who was lost in the forest and was attacked by wild animals, stumbling in with two ignorant fawns.

Although the woman has disheveled hair, red and swollen eyes, and suspicious tears on her face, she is a pretty woman.

Queenie looked at the woman with interest.Seeing her looking around aimlessly, she was obviously looking for someone.A doctor in a white coat passed in front of her, and she grabbed her with such strength that the doctor was startled.

"My husband, Morgan..." The woman licked her chapped lips, panic and anxiety seemed to have evaporated all the moisture in her body.

"Dad! Daddy!"

The two human children suddenly pointed at the man who had just passed by Queenie and was about to be pushed into the operating room and called out.

The woman dropped the doctor she was holding, and ran towards the man with the two children.

The three quickly chased to the man's emergency bed and ran after him.

The man who had been screaming in pain miraculously stopped crying, and tried to smile on his bloodstained face.

"I'm fine, honey," the man said.

Queenie saw that the man stretched out his good hand, as if he wanted to touch the child's head.But he found that this hand was also covered with blood, so he had no choice but to give up, but tried his best to make his labored and forced smile appear convincing.

"Don't worry, babes," the man kept repeating, "I'm fine, I'm going to be fine, don't be afraid."

The man was pushed into the operating room, and the nurse stopped the woman and the two children from the door.

"I love you, Dad!" the two children yelled before the door of the operating room closed.

"I love you too! More than my life!"

The operating room was closed, and the corridor instantly returned to silence.

The two children threw themselves into the woman's arms and cried loudly.

The woman hugged them tightly and said, "Daddy will be fine, he never breaks his word. Everything will be fine..."

Queenie withdrew her gaze, turned around and walked outside the hospital gate, and sat on the bench that she and Sean often sat on.

On a cool and clear morning, the thin rising sun pierced through the light clouds and mist, shining a new light and shadow on the earth that seemed to be the same as yesterday.

In the light and shadow flickering, some people are experiencing painful death, while some people continue to live as if nothing happened.

What happened just now didn't really affect Queenie, she just suddenly remembered what Sean said a few days ago.

Sean said: There are no "good things" and "bad things" in this world, only "things you want to do" and "things you don't want to do".You think it's a "bad thing" just because you don't want to do it.

Strictly speaking, Sean's statement is not entirely correct.Everyone's life experience is different, and the living environment is different, resulting in different outlook on life and values.What Sean said is not wrong relative to himself, but it may not apply to everyone.

Sean has a different way of thinking from others, and he is kind and simple in nature. There may be no good or bad things for him, only things he wants to do and doesn't want to do.

For example, being a surgeon is what he wants to do, and everything else pales in comparison.

But Queenie was different.

She has almost no basic human concept of right and wrong.For her, the distinction between "good" and "bad," "right" and "wrong" is crucial—at least to other people.

If she only acts according to Sean's "want" and "don't want", Queenie may really grow into a little devil who can do whatever she wants in the end.

In the twilight of the morning, the leaves of the treetops on the street strive to stretch into the golden sunlight.

Queenie didn't think so much in her heart. In her opinion, what Sean said was naturally correct.

So, yes, she calls killing Odin or Thor and helping Hela take back Asgard's throne as a "bad thing" because it's really something she doesn't want to do.

Queenie took a deep breath.

Hella once said that there is no system in the kingdom of the dead, and desire and fighting are the means and value of every undead's survival.Hela encouraged them to kill, and was even willing to provoke them.

In that eternally dark underworld, there is hardly a moment of peace.

Hela treats Queenie no differently from other undead.She let the undead attack Queenie until they realized that Queenie was not the kind that could be devoured at will.

At that time, what she saw when she opened her eyes was the same scene every day, and Queenie gradually got tired and preferred to fall into a deep sleep.

Hela didn't ask her anything, and let her do anything.But when she was sleeping, no undead came to disturb her.

And no matter where she curled up in the kingdom of the dead, Hela could always find her.

At that time, she didn't know about Hela's affairs, she just vaguely felt her anger, but she didn't know where the anger came from.Hella never said it either.

In fact, even now, Hela hasn't said anything to her, let alone asked her to do anything.

Queenie believed that if she told Hela that she didn't want to do this, Hela would never force her.

No, not only not reluctantly, but absolutely and firmly prevented her from approaching this matter.It would not even be surprising that Hela disappeared completely without Queenie.

Ugh!

Queenie resisted the urge to sigh.

what to do?Now her mind is as vast as a human being.

Queenie casually raised her hand to block the gradually warmer sunlight.

Hella appeared at this time.

"Queenie, I like your current name."

Her voice was still soaked in the coolness of the dark kingdom, she said she liked it, but no one could hear the emotion of appreciation.

Queenie looked up.

When he saw Hela, he stood straight in front of her, just to help her block the dazzling sunlight...

The author has something to say: Mother-in-law is haunted, haha~
