Celia had a long dream.

In the dream, the spaceship was surrounded by thousands of stars. She was so young at that time, she had just learned to walk.

Those around Thanos don't seem to be able to take care of children, so she had to lock Celia in a crib with bars when Gamora was away.When Gamora was busy, he locked Celia in the bed to prevent her from running into dangerous places.

When alone in the bedroom, Celia rolled around in the quilt, no one played with her, and she didn't cry at all.She bit her finger, blinked her eyes, and stared blankly at a spider on the iron ceiling. She liked to watch it weave its web slowly.

The door was opened, and a footstep approached slowly. Celia turned her head, and she saw a tall man.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"Daddy," she called milkyly.

Thanos approached the crib, he lowered his head, always giving a serious face without anger, as if the corners of his eyes were softer.

He took out a ceramic star tied with a rope, and there seemed to be faint red blood on the edge of the star.Thanos lowered his head and wiped off the dirt with his fingers before hanging on the railing above Celia's head.

Celia was only two years old at that time, and she could already walk and run. She climbed up, holding her little hand on the railing, and the place where she came out was locked by a lock. She raised her head pitifully and blinked at Thanos.

"Come out yourself, kid," Thanos said softly.It was a soft tone.

Xilia looked at him in confusion, and her hand even shook the solid railing tentatively.Even Thanos laughed lowly.

"You may need to try other methods, Celia." Thanos bent down and looked into the child's eyes. "Keep an eye on this lock and feel it."

Obviously, Celia didn't understand what Thanos was saying.She was still shaking the railing, and getting more and more anxious, and just when she pursed her mouth and was about to cry—crack.

The lock is broken.

Xilia perfectly withdrew her crying expression, she stared blankly at the lock, she didn't seem to realize what happened.

Thanos opened the small iron gate, reached out and hugged Celia out.

Although it didn't follow his idea, at least she did it by mistake, didn't she?

Xilia is too young, and Thanos is taller than the average race. He hugs the child like a kitten or puppy. His palm is like a piece of paper to Xilia. wide bed.

Thanos hugged her, and they walked down the long corridor to the meeting room.In the conference room, many people were already standing.Some of them were adult warriors, but they all died in a certain mission when Celia grew up in the future.Others were younger, they looked like 15 to 20 years old, teenagers.

When they entered, all eyes were on Thanos and the child on his chest.The little girl looked like a young cub, with long black hair reaching her waist, and her two white hands were tightly clutching Thanos' uniform.

Even though these people are her adopted brothers and sisters in name, they have been in and out of the battlefield a lot, and the evil spirit on them cannot be underestimated.But Xilia blinked her eyes, not timid at all, let alone scared.

All eyes were on her, she looked out of place here.She was... so clean and white.

"My supreme master, what is your next plan...?" An adult counselor walked forward slowly.

On the stone table in front of everyone, the vast interstellar map was unfolded and spread out, but the planets rose slowly in the form of projections, presenting three-dimensionally in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at Thanos, but Thanos lowered his head and casually teased Celia with his fingers, and Celia giggled.

"I heard that the custom of some races is to draw lots for children who are full-year-old." Thanos said, "In this case..."

He placed Silia on the stone platform, and immediately, she was overwhelmed by the projected galaxy that was as tall as her.

"Celia, choose a planet you like." Thanos lowered his body, he said.

Everyone gasped.Even when it comes to picking planets, Thanos never lets anyone interfere.

Celia didn't know that much, and she didn't know what they were doing.She stopped and walked in the projection, and soon the void held a planet.

The planet is magnified and the orientation is marked above its head.

Thanos hugged Celia, and he said, "Look, which one do you like, the left side or the right side of this planet?"

"there."

After Silia had finished selecting all of them, Thanos ordered, "This is the planet, leaving the southern hemisphere alive."

"Okay, the leader's pick..."

"Let Gamora go." Thanos said lightly, "This is a good experience."

After the meeting, Thanos held Celia in his arms. He stood by the window, and the father and daughter looked at the vast sea of ​​stars.

"Do you know why we killed those people?" Thanos said slowly.

Celia blinked and looked at him.

she does not know.

Thanos sighed softly.

"Sometimes, I even pessimistically think that life is a parasite on the universe. One day, these parasites will swallow everything." Thanos said slowly, "Selia, when you look at the universe from here When you went, what did you see?"

Celia turned her head and looked out of the window with innocent eyes of a child.

Thousands of stars twinkle in the darkness.

"Universe." She said softly and crisply.

Thanos reached out, and he stroked her hair gently.

"That's enough, kid. Promise me that when you look at this world, you only see the universe, not a single planet. Those planets are so boring, life multiply and struggle, no matter how many galaxies across , are all tediously the same.” Thanos said, “Every highly developed planet is so crowded. Those races fought and killed each other for a little resource. The universe is about to be unable to supply so many lives. You Know what will happen in the end? The battle in the planet will become the battle between the galaxies, and in the end, only a few races will survive."

Thanos was pacing by the window, he lowered his head and looked at Celia.

"Those races who have never seen the world are always narrow-minded. They will break their heads for a small profit. Disputes in this universe cannot be stopped. Where there is life, there will be fights, but In the end, it’s still whoever takes more of nature that wins,” he said, “and we’re going to do it differently, Celia...we don’t hate anyone, we don’t compare ourselves to those who are short-sighted. It doesn’t matter what we do. All we have to do is fairness. No matter what class or planet, people have only half the chance of surviving. Those who survive have the right to enjoy a better life.”

Celia could feel Thanos' gaze, she raised her head, narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Thanos knew that she might not understand, but his eyes were helpless, and he gently touched Helia's forehead with his fingers.

……

Celia doesn't know why she dreams about things from the past, she rarely dreams about Thanos.

When she woke up, she only felt a little groggy, as if a big stone was blocked in her chest.

Celia didn't feel any pain, she could still feel the uncomfortable strange sensation from her muscles and brain, she felt her arms were tied behind her, and her body seemed to be fixed on a chair.Celia raised her head, only to feel that the feeling of lightness and power when she was on the earth disappeared.

She barely opened her eyes and realized that there was a strange red light above her head, which was a red sun simulator used to deal with Superman.And on her wrists and body, the chains that imprisoned her are emitting a green light-this is kryptonite.

Celia blinked her eyes, her memory slowly recovered, and she remembered how she appeared here.

The door opened and Celia saw a man walk in with a mask on his head.

"Hello, Miss Celia," he said, "Nice to meet you, I'm V."

He seemed to see Celia's eyes scanning the room, and he said, "Please don't be offended, this is the answer we got after speculation. Given your previous identity, it's better to be careful."

"Speculation?" Celia raised her eyebrows with interest.

She didn't seem to have the anger and panic of being kidnapped at all, and she started chatting directly after being tied up like this.

"Yes. We guess that the possibility of Superman accepting a new relationship is too small. It is reasonable to speculate that there is a racial connection between you." V said, "It seems that our conjecture is also correct... Your blood results and Superman's fit perfectly."

Celia even wondered if Clark caught someone and asked him to draw blood. Otherwise, why would everyone have his blood report?

Celia began to look at herself again. There were Kryptonian handcuffs on her wrists behind her back, as well as her feet and waist.And her neck... seems to be wearing a stiff collar.

"I hope you can understand. After all, you are Superman's girlfriend. We have to make full preparations." V said, "There is a bomb in the collar around your neck. If you use a power other than Krypton, I'm afraid it will hurt you." to myself."

After saying these words, V felt that Celia should at least show a little bit of fear or anger, but on the contrary, when Celia looked around and raised her head, he met a pair of shining eyes.

"You guys have really put in a lot of effort. You're treating me like a real villain, aren't you?" Celia said excitedly, "It's the first time in my life that I've been valued so much. What a nice guy!"

V: ...

"When I was captured with my sister, she was in jail and I was in a cell. Those superheroes didn't take me seriously! They didn't think I was a danger!" Celia said. I know interstellar fortune-telling, I just took your mask seriously, and I can see that you are a person who can accomplish great things."

"...Thank you for the compliment." V cheered up. He cleared his throat, intending to explain their behavior. He said, "Do you know why we kidnapped you? Actually, it's because of..."

"I understand." Celia stopped him, and she said, "My father told me. No matter what planet, there are only a few modes of racial infighting: fighting for resources, fighting for status, and fighting for power. Going forward Add some pursuit of freedom, peace, happiness, equality, etc. to this, enough for you to fight until the extinction of human beings. Then you are going to tell me a bunch of profound righteousness that I don’t understand, so as to cover up your trespassing on private houses The unethical behavior of kidnapping the family members of the enemy justifies your own behavior, right?"

V: ...

Where did the aliens come from? Isn’t this too out of the ordinary? ?

"Since you kidnapped me and don't intend to kill me, then I have a few requests." Xilia said.

She said one sentence after another, as if she didn't need others to argue, she could talk forever by herself.

V: "...You said it."

"I want to play games." Xilia said, "Do you think you don't have any sense of public morality, so you can't pick someone to tie when they finish playing? You have to get stuck before the finale."

The man couldn't take it anymore, he stood up suddenly.

"Miss Xilia, please be serious." V said in a low voice, "What we are going to do is related to the direction of the earth and the future of all mankind. Can you cooperate?"

Celia seemed to shrink back in shock, and the man finally breathed a sigh of relief——

"All right," said Celia, "but I'm hungry."

"..." V was silent for a while, "It's only three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's not time for dinner yet."

"But I'm just hungry." Celia yelled, "I don't care! I want to eat! Call your best chef to cook for me, or I won't cooperate with you! If I starve to death, you humans You can't beat Superman!"

A political conspirator, the leader of a not-so-famous rebel organization, has slandered Chaoying several times. Mr. V, a smart man who has not been caught by the tail, seems to have encountered a bottleneck in his career.

Human beings are useless when it comes to Xilia.The point is, she looks like the kind of punk girl who is really likely to commit suicide because she didn't eat in advance and take revenge on all mankind.

No way, V sent someone to bring food, but Xilia was very picky.

"The craftsmanship is not good, not a chef at all!" Xi Liya said, "Did you just mix the mud outside and give it to me?"

...Are all aliens so unreasonable? ?

V was already on the verge of suppressing his anger, and half an hour later, several masked soldiers pushed a dining car over.

"Let's try it this time." V said coldly, "If you say it's not delicious, you're making trouble for no reason."

The food was served, but it seemed embarrassing to be fed all the time.The soldier opened Celia's locked hands behind her back, and locked her hands in front of her body.Through the kryptonite, Celia felt as if she had little strength to even raise her hand.

"If you tied up a pure-blooded Kryptonian with so much kryptonite, I think he would have a good chance to pass out." Silia muttered.

Yes, there are still captives who complain non-stop in this world. V puts his arms around his chest and watches her take a bite of her new arrival.

Finally, the extraterrestrial captive who had a lot of things to do was satisfied.

"Perfect," she said.

"then you--"

"I want to watch the live game." Celia said, "It's normal for modern people to watch some videos while eating, right? If you really think you are a righteous person, you shouldn't make it difficult for the poor little girl to watch her games The ending. After all, you are bullying the weak, if someone stole your wife and children from home, would you forgive him?"

V started to have a headache.

Ten minutes later, Xilia watched the ending of the game she played while enjoying the food in the Red Sun control room.

V stayed on the sidelines until she had eaten and drank well before someone cleared the table.

"Can we have a good chat now?" V said.

Celia let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's been a while since I've eaten such a delicious dish." Celia said, "Do you know when was the last time?"

"What?" the man asked.

Celia raised her head and looked at him.

She showed a cute and innocent smile.

"The last time such a perfect food was made by Jarvis - an intelligent AI. Sure enough, artificial intelligence should not be underestimated, they are really good helpers to solve problems, right?" Celia said casually, "By the way ,what did you just say?"

V: ...

V: My day.

The boat capsized in the gutter.
