[comprehensive] refuse to forgive color

Chapter14

Oliver thought of the innocent and lovely princess of the Quinn family who was a little too quiet when she was a child, and couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed her hair, and patted her back lightly, as if this could more or less make up for it. Then some of the years he was absent from her life.

"Charles wanted me to stay at Xavier School and learn to control and develop my abilities. But I also wanted to continue my studies and go to college-I also wanted to do an MD! So I finally decided to transfer to New York, so that I could go to school during the day and go to school at night. Back to practice at Xavier School. Most of the time it was Scott who drove me to and from school every day, and if he wasn't free, the others would take turns helping." Thea seemed to be really going to confess all, and soon Then he continued the conversation, paused for a while, and then smiled nonchalantly, "Mom didn't object - when I decided to transfer to another school, Walter was taking her out for a walk, I guess she might Didn’t know I had signed my transfer paperwork.”

Oliver suddenly remembered that at the dinner party a few months ago, he asked her why she transferred to New York five years ago by herself.At that time, his little princess didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly with a smile, but that kind of look made him inexplicably feel a little stuffy in his chest.

"Thea..." Oliver called her, as if he wanted to explain something, but felt that no matter how he said it, it was not convincing, so he could only say in a low voice, "Mom, she loves you very much."

"I know, of course my mother loves me. She just has to force herself to forget everything in the past, so that she can also forget the pain of losing her husband and son—everything in the past, of course including her little daughter who didn't die at sea." Thea tilted her head, her expression was calm, but her tone didn't sound as indifferent as she said.

Oliver didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to pat her on the back as comfort.After being silent for a while, he finally found a topic that could be used to break the quiet atmosphere:

"So, I think you don't mind telling me, your ability—what exactly is it?"

"Charles and I have done a lot of experiments. At first we thought it was something like 'making cells divide and grow quickly', but later we found that it also seems to have an effect on toxins." Thea thought for a while, but her tone was not [-]%. Sure, "Both Charles and Wanda feel that this may be closer to magic, the kind with healing properties, but it needs physical contact to work. The riot and disorder of power lead to the crazy growth of animals and plants-usually But I don't have that ability. Pietro tried to persuade me to call myself 'Priest' for this."

The Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, who hadn’t run away from the Mutant Brotherhood to join the Avengers at the time, visited Xavier School—yes, as the children of the leader of the Mutant Brotherhood, they often came to the X-Men’s Visiting the site; after watching some of her and Charles' experiments, Wanda calmly gave her own opinion, but Kuaiyin, a veteran video game enthusiast, cheered and came over enthusiastically:

"Oh, this is a living priest! I think we need a healer for a long time-you have to bring a milk to play a copy, but not everyone can heal themselves like Wolverine. I think you The code name can be called Priest, or do you prefer to be called Priest or something? Do you need to chant a spell or something before treatment?"

At that time, Thea hadn't fully recovered from a series of huge changes, and she was not familiar with this boy of her own age, and she didn't understand why he was so excited. She didn't know how to answer for a while, she just watched in silence He didn't speak.On the other hand, Wanda suddenly smiled, and said in a very teasing tone, "He must be happy. If his leg is broken again in the future, he will be able to come to you for treatment."

The lively young man froze immediately when he heard the words, turned around and called her in a drawn out voice, "Hey Wanda!"

But rather than complaining, the tone sounded like he was acting affectionately to his twin sister.

As a mutant who uses speed as his ability, Kuaiyin's legs seem to have been cursed, and he has been beaten countless times—sometimes he was beaten by the enemy, and sometimes...well, he was beaten by him. My father beat me.

Such a fuss brought the children closer together.

Then she heard Charles say something that would almost be her salvation:

"My child, your ability is as gentle as yours."

Her principal looked at her with a smile, and her outline was vaguely reflected in those blue eyes. Her tone was soft, but her words seemed to be spoken with force.

She didn't cry when the police came to inform her of her father and brother's death, she didn't cry when she lost control of her abilities, she didn't cry when her mother turned a blind eye to her...but at that moment, she almost shed tears in his gentle and wise eyes.

Every minute and every second of these days made her almost breathless, but it seemed that at this moment, in this sentence of his, it became no longer an endless torture.

Then she thought for a while, facing the principal's gentle gaze and ignoring all kinds of recommendations from her friends, she said softly: "I want to be called 'Doctor'."

The days that followed seemed calm and orderly - during the day she went to school and was a top student that all teachers liked, and at night it was time for mutants.During the period, the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants also exchanged fire from time to time, and at this time, the wounded on both sides are her best training objects-although it seems that there are often conflicts, in fact, the two factions of mutants are not the same. It's not life and death like many outsiders think.

It's just that apart from mutants, she has no other "combat targets" - after all, the situation of mutants is not good, and she can't easily expose her abilities.She thought that her daily life would be like this in the future, being an ordinary doctor, occasionally using her ability when mutants needed it.

Until two years ago, Kuaiyin, who had just joined the Avengers, knocked on the door of his apartment in a panic carrying the dying Iron Man.

After she cured the billionaire superhero who risked his life to save the world, she started asking herself—is there something she could do, too?

"But it's too dangerous," Oliver still frowned, trying to persuade her to dispel the idea, "Listen to me, Thea, you have to close that clinic. You don't know how many sworn enemies superheroes have, nor Knowing how many people will covet your ability, you can't involve yourself in these dangers."

"I'm a mutant, Ollie." Thea looked up at him. "That's a danger in itself."

"But your abilities can be easily hidden. You look exactly the same as ordinary people, even cuter." Oliver raised his voice slightly, "No one will doubt you. You can stay away from these dangers, Xi Ya."

"No, I can't, Ollie." Thea backed away from his arms and sat up straight.She is not tall, even if she is sitting, she has to raise her head slightly to look at her tall brother, but she still does not flinch.

"When I was afraid and loathing myself, it was Charles who found me, Scott reached out to me, and when my mother ignored me, it was Scott who came to my PTA conferences and graduations. ;When I was awakened by nightmares at night, it was Jean who held me and comforted me."

"The people who practiced my abilities with me were Wanda and Pietro; the people who took me through one project after another in the laboratory were Hank; the people who stole Scott's car and took me out for a ride were Logan; The captain is the one who will draw pictures as gifts for me when I am in the hospital; the one who fills the clinic with the latest defense system and calls to check the guards from time to time is Tony; the one who will quietly solve the stalker for me is Natasha; The person who comes here for supper under the pretext of every day, but in fact just to make sure that I am safe and sound is Spider-Man; the person who is far away but often passes near the clinic at night is Wonder Woman... Now, she guards me at night every day The people of the city are my elder brothers."

"Ollie, you've been absent from my life for five years—even though it's not your fault, you have to know that after these five years, it's already impossible for me to stay out of it."

Thea's tone was very calm, but it obviously carried an unquestionable meaning: "When I lost my father and brother, I often thought, if at that time, uh...Iron Man? Superman? Or any other superhero in the , will things be different. Maybe it will - I don't know, but I hope that fewer and fewer people will lose family members like me. I don't have that ability, but my friends do .”

"My friends are saving the world, if possible," the brown-haired girl's eyes were gentle, and her figure seemed to overlap with the girl who was praying devoutly in the painting hanging on the wall, "I want to protect them. "

Oliver fell silent and didn't speak.

Thea didn't say anything more, just stopped and looked at him quietly.

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other in this silence for a long time, until Oliver finally broke the silence with a sigh, and then laughed again:

"I'm so proud of my sister. She's the sweetest girl I've ever met."

"Let me remind you," Thea tilted her head, as if feeling a little funny, "Bruce also said the latter sentence."

"Look, it's all playboy tricks." Oliver nodded nonchalantly, but his face was dark and expressionless. "You can block his number."
