tech killer

Elsa lay in a daze on the hospital bed.

Since she woke up, she has been bored by herself, and she barely replied to what Superman said to her.But obviously, Superman won't be here with her all the time.

The two people who had nothing to do with each other were silent in this room, which seemed very awkward.They hadn't even exchanged names, and in Elsa's conception they were just strangers.

She is still immersed in the last memory.

Maybe Superman can't stand the atmosphere anymore.The kind-hearted big man gave her a warning, said goodbye to her quickly, and said that he would come to see her again when he had time.

Elsa knew with a nasal sound, and didn't even look up at him.

What can she say?They didn't have the obligation to accompany her to take care of her.As a "Superman", presumably without her Elsa, Hydra would not be able to do anything to him.

What's more, she needs to be alone now.

Superman is gone.

Elsa heard the sound of the door closing softly, she sighed, and her subtle movements also involved the knife wound on her chest, which brought dense pain.

After sleeping for a day, coupled with being injured and weak, her lips were already chapped and peeled, and a tiny bloody mouth had been torn out just when she barely smiled.

Cinderella bit her lower lip lightly, and she could taste the rust taste between her lips and tongue.At the moment when he was alone again, his eyes were red again.

Her left hand was tightly wrapped and she could not move; her right hand had a few stab wounds from fighting, which were not too deep, and the medicine had already been applied, but a piece of adhesive tape was pasted on the back of her hand where the infusion had just been infused. .

Elsa's eyes flicked over the piece of adhesive tape, and she gently put her hand on the knife wound on her chest, and suddenly laughed.While laughing out loud, tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"You," she whispered to herself, "Bucky's an idiot."

"...Elsa is stupid too."

Elsa doesn't want to cry after she thinks she's grown up.But now, only tears are her only outlet.

When Superman was around, she couldn't cry in front of him, only when she was alone, she let her tears flow.

How did things get to this point?Elsa tried to figure it out with her poor little brain.

She is too successful, too aggressive.

Elsa should understand that her abilities are not that powerful.She also doesn't have full experience with the systematic use of mutant abilities.Recalling carefully, she was really too impulsive in the Hydra base.Or rather, the whole thing seemed impulsive.

At least... She should find someone to help her analyze it, even Deadpool is much better than going in by herself, he has experience.

Hydra's base, that's not a safe place.

If it wasn't...if it wasn't Bucky who met him last, maybe she would have died.

She is not afraid of death, but she is not willing to die like this.

Elsa recalled the eyes she saw.

They used to get along day and night, and it can even be said that they depended on each other for nearly a hundred days.For Elsa, all her attention was on Bucky during that time, and she knew more about him than anyone could imagine.

Elsa knew that Bucky's memory was manipulated by Hydra.Even if Bucky didn't say it himself, or he had forgotten it, but Cinderella saw it, and combined with the information she learned later, she understood it very well.

And in last night's battle, her ability was overdrawn in the later stage, plus taking those drugs that stimulate potential and participating in a fight that she was not good at, the poor girl faced the strange Bucky There is no ability to resist.

The more she cared, the more hesitant she became. Her abilities were almost exhausted and completely uncontrollable. She didn't even dare to try her best to try the result—she was afraid of hurting him.She didn't dare to make a little test until she was so close.

The result is valid.

Bucky may not be out of control, but at least he's out of some influence.

Cinderella felt her own steady heartbeat under the thick bandage, and she didn't know whether she felt fear or excitement at this moment.

The light in the ward was originally soft, but under the restless mood, it was so bright that it was dazzling.

The vented tears had dried up, and Elsa, as usual, stretched out her scarred hand and pointed it at the lamp above her head.

In fact, her mutant ability comes from her mind, but she always likes to do something with her hands, which looks cooler.

In the next second, a distorted expression appeared on her face.

——Her mutant ability is gone.

***

The Parker couple rushed to Gotham in the dark.

Of course, it wasn't the two of them who came, there were two other people with them—Peter was entrusted to the neighbors.

Ben Parker felt a little sorry for rushing to the Xavier Academy for Gifted Boys, not to mention that the headmaster looked like this.He watched the young gentleman who accompanied the professor get out of the wheelchair, and immediately helped to open the wheelchair.

Yes, this Professor X is personable and gentle, but it is a pity that he needs to sit in a wheelchair.

"Don't worry, Mr. Parker," Charles Xavier, also known as Professor X, smiled gently and politely, his blue eyes were full of kindness, "Let's go and see Elsa first."

To be honest, the people at X Academy were also very confused when they received the news from Batman in the early hours of the morning.

As one of the leaders of the mutants, Professor Charles Xavier went to Gotham once, solved a mutant who was messing around, and brought another little mutant back to X Academy by the way.

He had heard of the name of the Dark Knight of Gotham at that time, but he didn't pay too much attention to the human hero.In the end, I really needed to communicate, and in the end we all contacted by phone. It was a satellite phone that took several turns. He was so cautious that he didn't look like a young man at all.

The dark knight named after the bat didn't seem to want to meet Professor X at all, and never showed up directly, not even Robin next to him, but Professor X still left his contact information, so that we can meet again later What things need to be contacted.

In the blink of an eye, more than three years later, he heard from Batman for the first time.

There is a recording on the other side of the line. Although the voice has been changed, it belongs to a child. Professor X didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still accepted this well-intentioned notice.

To put it simply, you mutants should not always run to Gotham. Now there is an underage mutant who is injured and lives in the XX ward of Gotham Hospital. She can guarantee her life and is still awake. I guarantee her safety. You are almost done. Hurry up and pick it up tomorrow.

The meaning expressed by the vigilante in Gotham can be summed up in one sentence: I have told you everything, and you should solve your own affairs.

Of course, in the middle of the night, Batman said he could guarantee safety, so they had no plans to go to Gotham.

Then early the next morning, a couple came to the gate of X Academy, saying that their child had come to X Academy for a trial, but they disappeared.

To be honest, at the beginning, Professor X was at a loss when he was approached by the parents of the students.He even thought it was some naughty kid who ran away from home under the banner of coming to X Academy, but he soon realized that it was not.

Hank McCoy soon noticed the special email at the bottom of the enrollment mailbox, which recorded very clear content, even about the mutant ability of the child named Elsa Saren.

Speaking of which...he really sensed this child a few months ago.When she was startled, a blinding light erupted, and then there was an electrical accident in New York.

It's a pity that when Alex went to look for it, the child was no longer there.

The ability is similar, and the profile matches... So, this child named Elsa is really a compatriot of theirs, a compatriot with help, or a compatriot with good computer skills.

However, according to her file and the Parkers, the child named Elsa had little chance of mastering high-level computer operations, and the possibility of someone's participation rose again.

And... this little girl, they have already found it.

The recording in the wee hours of the morning illustrates a lot of problems, Batman didn't say her name, but the ability didn't evade.Compare this with each other, don't think about it, the kid in Gotham is Elsa.

Professor X also found the opportunity to sense it.Gotham has an extra dim star, which is completely different from the original light, but fortunately it is relatively stable.

Summarizing the known information, he came to the following conclusions:

Elsa Saren's whereabouts, in Gotham;

She was indeed a "bad boy" who "run away from home" under the title of X Academy, and she went to Metropolis before;

Although he suffered some injuries, his personal safety is not hindered;

He should not notify the Parker couple directly, but should wait for the unconscious girl to wake up by herself.

Thinking of the kind couple who came to find the child, Professor X felt that his goal was not wrong, that mutants and ordinary people should live in peace.

Although, they really don't seem to know what X Academy stands for.

Although the couple was in a hurry, they were still rational and did not want to disturb the original teaching of the X Academy.It's a pity that their arrival still made the group of students who couldn't hide themselves very wronged, such as Kurt Wagner.

Nightcrawler's blue face was full of grievances. After Parker and his wife left the classroom they visited, he appeared next to Li Qianhuan in a flash: "I missed a class!"

Li Qianhuan looked at him speechlessly: "...I want to skip class, it's already good that you don't have to go to class, okay?"

"But I like this class!" He poked the book in his arms, and disappeared in a flash.

Not far away, Professor X, who was always by the Parker couple's side just in case, naturally heard the little complaints of his students, and the smile on his face did not diminish.

As the couple waited anxiously for news and almost called the police, they finally received a call from the girl.

May Parker covered her mouth on the phone and was on the verge of crying.

They were not so relieved at first, and they were even more worried after losing contact with Elsa.

This is not the first time for the couple to take care of children, but raising little Peter Parker and guardianship of Elsa Saleen, who is almost an adult, are completely different!

They are kind people, and they are full of love for Elsa from the elders to the younger ones.But they were afraid that this girl who had experienced many things would be uncomfortable, and they always considered a lot.

Mei has severely blamed herself, saying that if such a thing happens again, she will never even think about it, she will definitely follow the child, regardless of whether she will be unhappy, safety is the most important thing.

Fortunately, Elsa's phone call came.

Before the couple could figure out how to get to Gotham, Professor X invited them: "To be honest, we are also responsible. If the review and anti-theft measures were stricter, Miss Elsa would not It's going to be so easy. I should go and see, how about going to Gotham together?"

Ben and May glanced at each other, concern for Elsa prevailing.

So Ben volunteered to drive, and four people in one car arrived safely in Gotham.

When getting out of the car, Ben was relieved—many people have heard of Gotham, but luckily this time, there was no bad luck.

After asking the nurses, Ben and May walked ahead, with Alex pushing Professor X's wheelchair behind them.

Professor X's expression became a little serious, and Alex couldn't help asking him in a low voice: "Professor, is there any question?"

Charles frowned: "That kid was hurt very badly."

"Heavy?"

"...Even if the root is not injured, it will take a long time to recuperate." Professor X said worriedly, "And, it may not be just a physical problem...Alex, we are here."

Mei knocked first.

There was no response from the house.

She was a little anxious, and finally decided to go in first by herself. Of course, it would be more appropriate for these men to stay outside first.

When she entered, she immediately saw Cinderella lying quietly on the bed.

Thinking of the current time, Mei thought she was asleep, and stepped lightly, but when she approached, she saw Elsa on the bed with her eyes open and her eyes fixed.

"...Elsa?" She whispered the girl's name.

Those words seemed to break the silence.

Elsa groaned, turned her head stiffly to look at Mei standing by the hospital bed, and pulled out a strange smile.

"Elsa... what's wrong with you?" May was taken aback by her reaction.She pulled the stool aside and sat down, looking at the miserable girl on the bed, she couldn't say anything except distressed for a while.

Elsa felt a little uncomfortable seeing May like this.She was actually sorry, and she also wanted to show a smile to reassure her.

But she couldn't help but laugh.

If it was ten years ago...even a year ago!At that time, she lost the mutant ability like the "devil's curse" in Sasha's mouth, and she would really breathe a sigh of relief.Before that, she never felt that this ability of hers was useful.

At first, she wanted a normal life of her own, instead of being silent in the forest; later, she got used to the life in the forest, and she didn't care about the ability that didn't make any sense, what she wanted was company; but now, she needed her own ability, because Bucky needs it too.

The only thing she has is her abilities.

Elsa can't lose her mutant powers.

If even this is lost, what else can she have?Her ability is important to her, and it is also to Bucky.Without it, they wouldn't even have met in the first place.

The girl was so anxious that she almost got up from the bed, but her too weak body finally calmed down her anxiety.She opened her eyes in a daze, one after another of terrifying fantasies flashed through her mind, her lifeless eyes didn't fixate.This state lasted for several hours, until Mei's arrival brought her thoughts back.

"Elsa?"

"Aunt Mei..." She stretched out her hand tremblingly, and her fingertips touched the body temperature of another person.

Elsa put that hand close to her cheek and said "I'm sorry" in a breathy voice.

Mei felt very distressed. She gently hugged Cinderella on the hospital bed, and comforted her with a gentle voice: "It's okay, baby, it's okay. Everything is over... Be good."

Elsa didn't cry.

With Mei's careful help, she changed into a hospital gown, and when she opened the door, several men who had been waiting outside for a while came in.

Speaking of which, Cinderella doesn't have anything by her side now, and the things on her body can be said to be pitiful, and they are all props prepared for going deep into the enemy camp, packed in a bag provided by Superman and placed under the bed.And her own passport, bank card, etc. were all in the bag, but the black backpack was left in the silent forest of Swell.

Ben was also taken aback when he saw Elsa's miserable appearance.

The kind-hearted middle-aged man paced back and forth in front of her bed, with a troubled look of "how could such a thing happen".He didn't know what to do after he finished speaking his concern, he opened his mouth, but couldn't ask what happened, for fear that the girl would be dragged back into painful memories.

But Elsa's main focus now is on the man in the wheelchair.

The first reason is - he is bald.

For Elsa, this is what caught her attention the most.

Charles, who used to love his hair so much, lost it anyway. Xavier didn't mind the curious stare of the little gray-haired girl.He smiled at the girl who could only sit up by shaking the hospital bed, and his unique radiance in the smile: "Look again, it can't grow any hair."

Sitting in a wheelchair, the young-looking professor shrugged.

Elsa was a little embarrassed, her extremely pale face, which had lost too much blood, couldn't be stained red, she just licked her lips: "I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to say I'm sorry, and it's not your problem." Professor X looked at Elsa tenderly, "I should be sorry for what happened to you. I'm sorry that something like this happened to you. I heard... ...you were robbed, didn't you?"

The gray-haired girl was silent for a while.Her eyes swept over the faces of the people around her, and finally lowered her eyes: "It's not... It's complicated to say."

Mei kept holding the girl's hand. Seeing her like this, she gently touched Elsa's disheveled hair with distress: "It's okay, it's over. Whenever you want to talk about it, don't force yourself to remember, you will OK."

Elsa smiled at her, and the heaviness in her heart finally dissipated a little.

Professor X also smiled. He looked at Ben and Mei, with a smile that he couldn't refuse: "Sorry, can I have a chat with...Elsa alone?"

He blinked his blue eyes playfully: "As a professor, I have done some research in psychology, which may make this lady happy."

The couple looked back and forth worriedly, but the professor made people feel so good, they couldn't refuse the professor at all, and left the ward with Alex in a tangled state, closing the door considerately.

Elsa just watched without saying anything, until there were only the two of them left in the room, and she didn't want to talk either.

With the eldest brother among mutants, Elsa didn't know what to say.Especially at this moment... when she was no longer a mutant.

"No, you are still a very powerful mutant," a voice sounded in her head, "Elsa...can I call you that?"

Cinderella's eyes widened suddenly, she looked into those sea-like blue eyes, and bit her lower lip uncontrollably.

"I won't hurt you, kid," Professor X smiled at her, "don't think too much about it. You're a mutant, I think you already know that."

"But, but, my ability..." Elsa said anxiously. She reached out to the lamp above her head again, clenched her fists several times, but the bright light of the bulb remained unchanged.

"Elsa, you have put a shackle on yourself," Professor X turned the wheelchair closer to Elsa's hospital bed, his smile was still gentle, his mouth did not move, and he was communicating with Elsa through the mutant ability, "Don't be too Worry. It will be fine, as long as you are willing to let go of what is bothering you in your mind."

Elsa was a little dazed, countless pictures about Bucky flashed in her mind, and finally froze on his confused eyes.She bit her lip hard, and the frozen blood burst open again: "...I can't do it."

Professor X looked at the child who was trapped by him, and the voice rang in her mind again: "Then do you want to come to X Academy to study?"

The next second, he opened his mouth: "This place is very suitable for you, I think you know it. That email is very good."

Recalling what she had done for a moment, Elsa felt a little guilty.

The previous heaviness was relieved at this moment, and she looked at the famous Professor Xavier: "...there are people like us there?"

He nodded.

"...Can you help me restore my ability?" Elsa carefully observed the other person's expression, "I can't lose it."

Professor X smiled: "It has been following you, and our academy is to let you better grasp your own abilities."

Elsa looked at his pretty smile, and the next sentence suddenly came out of her mouth somehow.

"...but I don't wear yellow tights."

Charles was once again frozen by the smile on Professor Xavier's face.
