[Zhongyingmei] A cookie that moves around
Chapter 42
While Eva stayed for dinner, Bruce was also stayed for dinner by Charles.
After the meal, Bruce gracefully expressed his willingness to send Eva back, which managed to make Jean look bad, and after glaring at him a few times, he took Eva away and talked for a while before leaving. Whisper.
Bruce is not a person who likes to inquire, but Eva has been smiling since she got in the car. After she stopped, she couldn't help laughing again because her eyes fell on him. Although the girl smiled sweetly, she also Let him know that the protagonist of the conversation between Phoenix Girl and Eva just now must be him.
Eva kept laughing by the side, and before Bruce asked, she took the initiative to recruit, "Jin told me, be careful, if you... don't show mercy." Her smiling appearance made Bruce laugh, "In this case, she will I shouldn't have let you go with me."
"Do you look down on me?" Eva pretended to shake her fist at her, the smile on her face still did not fade, "Jin has given me a lot of special training during this time."
"Eva," Bruce said calmly, "You have to know, even if you did a lot of special training, you who took off my vest, do you think you can beat me with one punch?"
Eva: ...
This is really a problem!I almost forgot that this is a Chinese matchmaker Malone who is capable of defeating street gangsters!unwise!
"At least I still have a secret weapon." Eva leaned on the passenger seat, her delicate appearance seemed completely unaware of the physical strength of the man beside her, and she was still actively provoking him, "I think If you give me a hand, I'll do really well."
Well done?Thief?
Bruce guessed these two words for a while, looking at Eva's clear eyes, Bruce Playboy Wayne felt a little guilty, "Even if you are a mutant, don't underestimate others, it's easy to get hurt."
It can be said that he is very patient with such a kind-hearted appearance.
Eva is a mutant.This kind of news was known when Bruce Wayne met Eva in Gotham last time. How could there be simple people around Charles?
No... maybe Eva Kent was an accident.
The few times Bruce met her, each time was in a very unexpected situation, and Eva always reacted in some unexpected ways.People in Gotham never see the wounded in the streets and alleys, and the first reaction is to bandage him; it is never possible to reveal hidden secrets in front of a stranger, even if that person is a well-known Gotham rich man.
It would be kindness not to rob him easily, let alone leave immediately afterwards. This is the first time Bruce Wayne has seen the appearance of being afraid of getting in touch with him and avoiding it.
Her eyes are too clean, and her breath is too clean.
Such a person is not suitable for Gotham.
Bruce realizes subconsciously that it's none of his business to drag this message to the trash again in his head.
"Bruce?" Eva's doubtful voice brought Bruce back to consciousness. He was surprised that he would be distracted, while the girl had already turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car window.
The traffic outside the window is as usual, and there is no difference from before to now.It's just more high-rise buildings, more passing vehicles, and more crowded people, which seem to have been implemented from the beginning to the present.
"It's not good for you. Even if you know my little secret, shouldn't you hide it? How can you expose it directly in front of a weak lady?" Just when Bruce thought Eva lost her temper , she turned back to him with a smile and tried to persuade him.
"You took off my vest, the first time you saw me." Bruce pointed out this very calmly, and at the same time, he spun his hand, and the dark and low-key car spun around like a drift.
Eva: ...
"I'm not, I'm too shocked. Who knew that you, a rich man, would suddenly go to Kathmandu?" Eva murmured softly, ah, it seemed that she was really guilty.
"Then why did you go to Kathmandu, you are a well-behaved student?" Bruce raised his eyebrows and smiled, the slightly sinister smile at the corner of his mouth made Eva rub her neck silently, why did she feel a little bit of guard.
Even if what Bruce said really sounded like a joke.
"Are you suspecting that I have some bad intentions again?" She looked at him bluntly, "I have to be aggressive when I say a word, for fear of being seen by others, and I didn't think about asking you where to do it." whats the matter."
Suddenly confused by Eva's accusation, Bruce didn't say anything, but watched the girl next to him obediently pour out all the things, "I have been having nightmares, and my family hopes that I can find peace of mind, so Send me to Kathmandu. But it was Strange who came to look for me on the side of Master Ancient One."
"Sorry." Bruce's voice sounded low, and Eva remembered vaguely that this was the second apology they had made during their short meeting.
"I can understand. You are the richest man in Gotham. There are probably a lot of people who kidnap you, and there are also a lot of people who want your money and power. This is not your problem." Eva was not really angry, she just... Just feel stuffy.
She wasn't trying to make Bruce trust her wholeheartedly, but Eva felt uncomfortable when she sensed Bruce's vague defensiveness.
She treats everyone around her sincerely, except for some small secrets, she never suspects others with a speculative mentality, but Bruce is different.
Tony Stark gave Eva the same feeling at the beginning, but he was more outgoing than Bruce, Eva thought, maybe because of the rowdy teammates around him.
Eva remembered the tone of utter comfort and liking when Tony had talked about movie night that day.
The Avengers are all well and good.
It's not Bruce's problem, and it's not Eva's problem.
This is a problem caused by different living environments.
The atmosphere in the car remained silent until Bruce stopped outside Eva's rented house, and it still didn't seem to ease.Eva regretted it as early as half an hour after the first conflict. The relationship between her and Bruce was not that close.
Then why did she say that just now?Eva was a little dazed.
Maybe it's her endlessly recurring dreams. Even though Eva didn't think of too many valuable things, for her, there are some people's names that she remembers deeply.
Like Doctor Strange, Steve Strange, or Batman.Eva exhaled, dreaming and reality are still completely different, and it is better to distinguish them in the future.
"I'm sorry." Eva turned her head to apologize to the richest man in Gotham around her when the car stopped, "Mr. Wayne, this is not what I should ask, everyone has secrets, just now My fault."
Bruce looked into Eva's clear eyes, and what he wanted to say was stuck in his heart.After Eva apologized, she pursed her lips, and the small dimples on her face appeared with her movements, looking extremely cute.
He watched Eva thank him obediently and bid him farewell, then thumped and tried to open the car door and get out.
Once, twice, three times...
Why can't this car door be opened, how angry!Eva was crying, she could feel Mr. Wayne's sight behind her!
The things on Bruce are all produced by Wayne Group. As the immediate boss of Wayne Group, the things prepared for him are naturally as good as they can be, and this car is naturally the same.The door has to have Bruce's fingerprints to open it. By the way, there is also an eye scan. If something goes wrong, the police will be called directly.
There was a sound of "click", and Eva rushed out from the raised car door as if she had found a treasure. She really rushed out and didn't even stop. A soft goodbye floated into the car from the air. , causing a smile to flash in Bruce's eyes.
It wasn't until watching Eva enter the house and the lights of the cabin came on that Bruce restarted the car and handed over the steering wheel to automatic driving.
What Eva didn't know was that before coming to Charles, Bruce hadn't entered the bedroom for several days, and the housekeeper's serial calls had already reached several birds.
This is why his subtle emotional changes are caught by Eva, and Bruce is a little surprised that Eva can detect it.
His body was warning Batman, the results of the upside-down day and night routine never stopped there, but few people were ever aware of it.
It was already one o'clock in the morning when we returned to Wayne Manor.
After seeing the owner of the Wayne family on the surveillance camera, the butler had already arrived at the Batcave with a strong cup of coffee, and Bruce, who had just returned from outside, was changing clothes.
"Oh, master, there are already several young masters here, I don't expect you to bring a new young master to the Wayne family, but at least you don't give me a sudden death ending, then the epitaph may be very ugly .” The high-strength coffee in his hand had already been passed to Batman, and the man who hadn’t put on his helmet drank it down in one gulp.
"Alfred, what's going on in Gotham these days." Batman skillfully avoided this question, neither Batman nor Bruce had anything to do with the butler.
"Except that your departure caused some people to move around, there is not much movement for the time being." Following Alfred's words, a few steps of precision instruments all over the Batcave suddenly made beeping sounds, and the eyes of the two fell at the same time. on the screen.
That's a giant bat.
It was just in time.Alfred sighed inwardly.
Batman had already put on the hood, and when he saw the bat light, the big black bat was no longer the peaceful one it was before, its voice was so hoarse that it seemed to have been burned, it was so broken and hoarse that it no longer belonged to a human voice, " I'll be back later tonight."
There was a cold breath all over his body, and the bat slid out without a sound.
The steward looked at the lamp, which they all knew.
……
When Eva got up from bed, it was early morning again, and she was used to it.As long as she is dreaming, it is possible for her to wake up at any time.
The air conditioner was on in the house, and Eva got out of bed and poured water for herself.
The house she rented this time was a two-story white building like the previous house, but the interior layout was much warmer, and Eva fell in love with it immediately when she came to see it.Although the rent here is not cheap, Eva rented it without hesitation.
She was standing in the kitchen drinking water, the morning stars outside the window were struggling to shine their last light in the gradually brightening sky, a fishy white lighted up from the sky, followed by a faint golden yellow.
Eva finished watching the completely white sky in the kitchen, and then packed her things to go to school.
Now she understands the little spider's idea of wanting to rush out all day long. After going through so many things, she always feels a little ready to move in the quiet and peaceful campus life.
However, Eva restrained this little thought very well. Although her current life is completely different from her original idea of wanting to stay away from superhero mutants, it is not so unpleasant.
It would be great if nothing happened to the Avengers. Thinking of this, Eva felt a little heavy.Fortunately, the Avengers still came forward to solve New York's problems during this period. Although they came and went more hastily than before, no bad news is good news.
Before Eva arrived at the school, the window TV on the street attracted her attention, and what occupied the screen was a report from a competent hostess: "...a large drug deal broke out in Gotham last night... Batman prevents...rescue 31 people who were threatened in a gun fight...now we're doing random phone interviews..."
After listening to the last sentence, Eva was about to be late, so she ran away, and the faint voice still reached her ears. The first person to be interviewed by phone seemed to be a housewife, and her swearing made Eva Trance.
Two landscapes flashed through his eyes, and Eva's vision was a little dazed.
It seemed that overnight everyone began to have a sense of crisis. Many people talked about superheroes and ordinary people, mutants and ordinary people, even Midtown High School was no exception.
Eva was standing in the bathroom washing her hands. Two chattering female classmates had just left the door. She had been forced to listen to their discussions about superheroes for several minutes, focusing more on their figures and physical strength. The two sentences involved saving the world and hurting ordinary people, and then quickly returned to the original obscenity, and even started to discuss getting up to work hard.
Eva: ...
She finally washed her face and walked out of the bathroom, but she saw Peter passing by the corridor. When she saw her, she stopped in surprise. She seemed to want to say something, but hesitated to say something, and finally said a little embarrassedly. , "Eva, can I speak to you privately?"
Eva saw that the eyes of the people in the corridor were not right, and hurriedly drove the little spider out, "Okay, as long as you don't say such things like I'm going to do something to you."
She was a little desperate, how did this shy little spider get so hot with the talkative Deadpool?
It was just lunch time, and the two of them stopped by to buy lunch before sneaking to the school activity room. Eva sat on the seat and looked at the little spider's bread, "Do you like this kind of sweet thing? "
Peter paused for a few seconds while biting the bread, "Recently, a friend kept bringing desserts to see me, and he spoiled it."
Eva looked at the pink on Peter's fair face, knew who that friend was, and changed the subject tactfully. She didn't want to lose both ways now, otherwise the little spider would look even more embarrassed.
"What do you want from me?" Eva quickly settled her lunch, seeing Peter sitting on the steps looking a little at a loss, and asked a question.
"I originally wanted to ask you if you had any news about Mr. Stark. Recently, he didn't let me go to the base or the Avengers Building. I don't know. Did I do something wrong?" Peter looked a little nervous and spoke very quickly.
Eva pursed her lips, what happened inside the Avengers was a secret, if Iron Man didn't tell Peter about it, then her best choice was to keep him from knowing.
but……
"I don't know." Eva really didn't know, the little spider's curly hair drooped at a speed visible to the naked eye, "But you can change the way, maybe you can get a lot of information."
Peter looked at Eva suspiciously.
"If you can't get a response from the front, then the news from the side may also be of great value. Remember the summit that the captain and the others attended?"
Peter's IQ is not low, he just occasionally has a little low EQ. Not long after Eva finished speaking, his face changed slightly, and he seemed to know what Eva told him.
"They just don't want you to be involved in this dangerous situation. I know it was an accident. Peter, I understand how you feel, but there is nothing we can do now."
Eva believes that with Tony's approach, Spider-Man's true identity is still unknown at S.H.I.E.L.D. As long as Peter can hold back, there will be no problems for the time being.
What's more, S.H.I.E.L.D. has no intention of distracting other superheroes at all.
Eva asked Clark to help find some reports from other countries, which was easily done when he was acting as a reporter.As for Superman's powers... Eva knew that Clark would never use his powers to disrupt order, and neither would she.
And the news obtained from these is enough, and now the atmosphere of exchanges and discussions is getting stronger and stronger. If there are any problems at this time, it will be really troublesome.
What Eva knows, those superheroes who are in the midst of disputes naturally know better than her, but things still have to be done.
"I heard a lot of them were angry." Spider-Man said suddenly, clasping his hands, his eyes fixed on his fingers. "They told the Avengers to get out of New York, saying our presence made them more dangerous."
Eva looked at the lonely Peter, "Then what do you think?"
“There are a lot of people who speak out for superheroes, but there’s a lot of bickering.” After all, Peter is a teenager, and the Internet is a second world to him, and he’s not old enough to laugh off the words.
No, Eva changed this sentence silently in her heart, no one could laugh off such a sentence.
She remembered that Clark had discussed with her about Batman. The appearance of her brother at that time made Eva realize for the first time that sometimes the human heart is not enough.
"You don't need to worry about them." Eva took the initiative to approach Peter and sat down beside him, "You have to know, such a talent is not a bad thing. My ability is also, I didn't like it at first, but in the end I think It's not a problem. Just pay attention to it in normal times, let alone you use it to save the world."
"It's not your fault, Peter." Eva explained seriously. This world is completely different from her previous world, full of various crises.These superheroes are not obliged to take on such responsibilities, but they go to the battlefield.
In any case, they, ordinary people who are protected, owe it to them.Eva folded her hands, she was also one of those who owed it.
It seems that all walks of life are looking forward to such a moment, whether the contradictions will become more intensified, or everyone will take a step back.
At this time, an unexpected news disrupted the arrangements of various countries.
On August 8, NASA delivered a secret document to the White House. At the same time, SHIELD captured some unreachable messages from outer space, not to mention the Superman floating in the metropolis at this moment. .
He lifted off after a rescue operation, and when everyone nearby looked at him with crazy love, admiration, or disgust, Superman stopped.
The Kryptonian looked up at the distant unknown sky at a distance of more than ten meters from the ground. Under the sky, his blue and transparent eyes were dazed and confused, and Shenzi rarely paused.
In the next second, Superman suddenly soared into the sky and flew into space at supersonic speed.
The citizens of the metropolis didn't know what Superman's pause for a few seconds represented, and they dispersed separately, expressing different and free speeches.
Satellites belonging to different countries and organizations silently watched Superman break through the atmosphere. Several countries that were once sensitive to this did not respond, and they followed every move of Superman.
Let's hope Superman brings a completely different result.
Eva stood where she was, as if feeling something in her heart, she looked up at the sky.
Jenny touched Eva's arm, looking a little worried, "Eva, is something wrong?" Eva came back to her senses and shook her head and chuckled, "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered the past, let's go .”
They came out today to complete some assigned holiday homework. Although Eva and Jenny are in different classes, but the teacher allows cross-class combination, the two of them decided to use flowers to complete this part of the work.
And they had just come out of the flower shop, it was not during the festival, and the price of flowers was not as high as usual, which made the girls choose a lot of beautiful flowers, including big red roses.
Jenny soon discovered that despite Eva's words, she still looked disturbed.
Knowing that the girl didn't want her to worry, and she didn't know what the problem was, Jenny simply didn't even go shopping, and took Eva to a coffee shop to sit down and rest.
The coffee shop was supposed to be quiet, but there was a TV in the far corner, playing soft music, and no one complained.
Jenny helped Eva order coffee, and then looked at Eva and said, "Think about everything you should think about here, and you can't think about it when you go out. I didn't know what to look at when I just crossed the road." road."
Eva blushed slightly, knowing that Jenny had seen through her.She was indeed a little restless, but she didn't know why.
Coffee for both of them was served soon, and Eva and Jenny enjoyed the rare tranquility in the afternoon, and the girl's mood returned to normal soon.
Just when they were about to leave, the TV station that had been playing music suddenly interrupted a piece of news.
At first Eva didn't notice what the news was at all, until she keenly caught the word "Superman" and turned to watch the TV so fast that Jenny couldn't catch it.
"...It is reported that this morning Superman went to outer space to prevent an asteroid from impacting the earth. This has happened three times in Superman's past. But this time is different. We can see that Superman fell from outside the atmosphere. Then Is it the fall of the Son of God? That asteroid may be carrying mutated virus blood, which even Superman cannot bear..."
"Eva!" Jenny looked at Eva's trembling body, thinking that she was worried about Superman's safety, just like many women in the coffee shop are crying in worry.
"Jenny," Eva took a deep breath, then turned to look at her friend, "I can't go shopping today." Jenny nodded understandingly, looking worried at Eva's appearance.
Eva sent Jenny away with a strong smile, and called Martha directly on the street corner, "Mom..." She heard Martha's voice, and knew that Martha had seen the news.
"Mom, it's okay. He'll be fine." Eva was worried, and she was angry.When she kept comforting Martha on the road, the man passing by shouted loudly, "I knew that this fucking alien would end up like this sooner or later! Get out of the earth as soon as possible!"
This kind of movement was naturally reviled by many people, but Eva still felt tired.
She knew where Superman fell, it was the Pacific Ocean.Eva also knew that there must be many people rushing there now, maybe they were kind or malicious.
The body of a superman is the most insane research material.
Now she was standing in the street, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Eva thinks about what she's been doing these days, training, studying, training...it's not doing anything to help Clark.
Anger, sadness, despair, worry... A force that spontaneously emerged from her heart grabbed Eva, and the air brushed against her skin made people feel uncomfortable, and there were whispers in the air, she couldn't hear clearly, but Very present.
She grabbed her arm, and the familiar yet unfamiliar burning sensation made Eva uncomfortable all over.She avoided the alley with difficulty, felt the faint sweet fragrance, and swallowed the groan that came out of her mouth.
The person who just passed by is a speed changer, the girl on the corner is a water person, there is a bird person on the third floor of the building behind, the couple in Kansas are transsexuals, and the owner of a fruit shop ten kilometers away is a risk controller .
It was as if a voice roared in Eva's ear about the identity of each mutant.New York, Seattle, San Francisco, and even Alaska... A lot of complicated information flooded into Eva's mind at once, causing her a splitting headache, and she leaned against the wall in pain and clasped it tightly.
"No," Eva gasped a few times, and countless figures flashed through her mind. Eva clearly knew everyone's ability, "No..."
It hurts so much.
In Westchester, in the beautiful castle of the X Academy, Charles is talking to Wolverine.
They also received the news that Superman fell from a high altitude, and the nearest team rushed over, but the current situation is still unknown.
Charles tried, but he couldn't connect to Superman, which meant that Superman was completely unconscious.
When Wolverine was about to say something, he suddenly saw the professor put his finger on his forehead, his blue eyes were full of shock, "Oh God, Eva, Eva, can you hear me?"
Wolverine frowned suddenly.
At that moment, Charles felt a majestic and irresistible force sweeping across the entire United States, perhaps more areas.
And this force Charles is very familiar with, it was Eva who just came over last week.
God, what kind of power is that, just at the moment it swept across, Charles could feel the slight tremor of the mental barrier.
Since the apocalypse, no one has been able to shake his barrier, and this time Charles felt the crisis.
Charles really didn't expect that Eva's ability would usher in such a big eruption after Queens, it was like a volcanic eruption, carrying the powerful energy of nature.
Eva grasped a trace of clarity in the painful struggle, and she heard the professor's voice, "I...listen, here it is." She almost exhausted all her strength to finish this short sentence.
She didn't know that the glistening tears were rolling down her cheeks, like she was mourning for Superman.
"Eva, can you calm down?" Charles comforted Eva with a soft but powerful voice, and used this rare opportunity to connect with the girl to transmit calm and joyful emotions, helping Eva control the sudden surge information.
"I... can know, I can feel them," Eva said hoarsely, as she staggered to cover herself in the situation, "I can control them." Just a drop of her blood.
Eva was so determined in her heart.
"Why?" She struggled to emerge from the picture that almost drowned her, trying not to be immersed in the huge sea of data.
Charles knew what it felt like, when he had survived the apocalypse, when he closed his eyes, he felt countless trickles converging and dispersing, and he felt the sparkle in the converging rivers, which was the source of the whole world. movement.
Without the need for a mastermind, he can already sense most people. Of course, he still needs a mastermind to accurately distinguish each mutant.
But that feeling is not good.
Charles never opened up his mind, never fully used his abilities.It is not a good thing to control the power of life master like that.
Lust corrupts, indulgence uncontrollable, and Charles can't take that risk.
"Eva," Charles' clear and gentle voice grabbed Eva's attention tightly, causing her to withdraw from the huge messages, "Remember? Control your power, don't let your power control you."
Eva huddled in the corner, hugging her knees tightly. There were many people passing by on the street, and no one knew that there was an atomic bomb on the verge of explosion hidden in the alley on the left.
"Professor," Eva's forehead rested on her knees, her voice sounded from her mouth, and it also sounded in her mind, "I think I know what my other ability means." Eva found calmness in the pain, although They are still there.
"The smell of blood can control not only mutants, but also superheroes." Thinking of the clown, Eva added weakly, "Maybe there are also super villains."
"Wow, that's really good." Charles admired without hesitation. "You controlled it, Eva, you did a good job."
"I'm not doing well." Eva's fingers gripped her arm tightly. "I don't want to control it anymore."
She had assured Martha that Clark would be fine.She had to get to the Pacific Ocean before those who might harm Clark, even if it meant Eva had to use her powers, she would definitely go there!
"I'm sorry, Professor." Eva cut off the contact and stood up.She still had a splitting headache, but it was much better than before.
Eva staggered out of the alley, from the darkness to the sunlight, which made Eva's eyes slightly narrowed, her expression a little indifferent, and she could barely see the scenery under the sun.
There was a little blood on the girl's palm, which was the result of the pain just now, a small wound.
The girl who came out of the alley had a strange fragrance on her body, and the sweet fragrance attracted a passerby who passed by.He looked at Eva curiously, as if he didn't know where the smell came from. He was a little thin and looked like an underage boy.
But Eva knew he was a speedster.
No one told her, she just knew, Eva even knew, that for this boy, it would only take a few minutes to die from here to the Pacific coast, and this speed was enough for Eva.
Eva grabbed his clothes, looked at the boy's surprised expression and opened her mouth, "I'm sorry." Sorry, Eva said silently, with guilt, she needed this strength.
This is the last remaining consciousness of Barry.
When he woke up, Barry Allen stood by the sea in a daze, completely unaware of how he got here.
He opened his palm, and there was a rose there, with a sweet chocolate scent.
Like a gentle apology.
After the meal, Bruce gracefully expressed his willingness to send Eva back, which managed to make Jean look bad, and after glaring at him a few times, he took Eva away and talked for a while before leaving. Whisper.
Bruce is not a person who likes to inquire, but Eva has been smiling since she got in the car. After she stopped, she couldn't help laughing again because her eyes fell on him. Although the girl smiled sweetly, she also Let him know that the protagonist of the conversation between Phoenix Girl and Eva just now must be him.
Eva kept laughing by the side, and before Bruce asked, she took the initiative to recruit, "Jin told me, be careful, if you... don't show mercy." Her smiling appearance made Bruce laugh, "In this case, she will I shouldn't have let you go with me."
"Do you look down on me?" Eva pretended to shake her fist at her, the smile on her face still did not fade, "Jin has given me a lot of special training during this time."
"Eva," Bruce said calmly, "You have to know, even if you did a lot of special training, you who took off my vest, do you think you can beat me with one punch?"
Eva: ...
This is really a problem!I almost forgot that this is a Chinese matchmaker Malone who is capable of defeating street gangsters!unwise!
"At least I still have a secret weapon." Eva leaned on the passenger seat, her delicate appearance seemed completely unaware of the physical strength of the man beside her, and she was still actively provoking him, "I think If you give me a hand, I'll do really well."
Well done?Thief?
Bruce guessed these two words for a while, looking at Eva's clear eyes, Bruce Playboy Wayne felt a little guilty, "Even if you are a mutant, don't underestimate others, it's easy to get hurt."
It can be said that he is very patient with such a kind-hearted appearance.
Eva is a mutant.This kind of news was known when Bruce Wayne met Eva in Gotham last time. How could there be simple people around Charles?
No... maybe Eva Kent was an accident.
The few times Bruce met her, each time was in a very unexpected situation, and Eva always reacted in some unexpected ways.People in Gotham never see the wounded in the streets and alleys, and the first reaction is to bandage him; it is never possible to reveal hidden secrets in front of a stranger, even if that person is a well-known Gotham rich man.
It would be kindness not to rob him easily, let alone leave immediately afterwards. This is the first time Bruce Wayne has seen the appearance of being afraid of getting in touch with him and avoiding it.
Her eyes are too clean, and her breath is too clean.
Such a person is not suitable for Gotham.
Bruce realizes subconsciously that it's none of his business to drag this message to the trash again in his head.
"Bruce?" Eva's doubtful voice brought Bruce back to consciousness. He was surprised that he would be distracted, while the girl had already turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car window.
The traffic outside the window is as usual, and there is no difference from before to now.It's just more high-rise buildings, more passing vehicles, and more crowded people, which seem to have been implemented from the beginning to the present.
"It's not good for you. Even if you know my little secret, shouldn't you hide it? How can you expose it directly in front of a weak lady?" Just when Bruce thought Eva lost her temper , she turned back to him with a smile and tried to persuade him.
"You took off my vest, the first time you saw me." Bruce pointed out this very calmly, and at the same time, he spun his hand, and the dark and low-key car spun around like a drift.
Eva: ...
"I'm not, I'm too shocked. Who knew that you, a rich man, would suddenly go to Kathmandu?" Eva murmured softly, ah, it seemed that she was really guilty.
"Then why did you go to Kathmandu, you are a well-behaved student?" Bruce raised his eyebrows and smiled, the slightly sinister smile at the corner of his mouth made Eva rub her neck silently, why did she feel a little bit of guard.
Even if what Bruce said really sounded like a joke.
"Are you suspecting that I have some bad intentions again?" She looked at him bluntly, "I have to be aggressive when I say a word, for fear of being seen by others, and I didn't think about asking you where to do it." whats the matter."
Suddenly confused by Eva's accusation, Bruce didn't say anything, but watched the girl next to him obediently pour out all the things, "I have been having nightmares, and my family hopes that I can find peace of mind, so Send me to Kathmandu. But it was Strange who came to look for me on the side of Master Ancient One."
"Sorry." Bruce's voice sounded low, and Eva remembered vaguely that this was the second apology they had made during their short meeting.
"I can understand. You are the richest man in Gotham. There are probably a lot of people who kidnap you, and there are also a lot of people who want your money and power. This is not your problem." Eva was not really angry, she just... Just feel stuffy.
She wasn't trying to make Bruce trust her wholeheartedly, but Eva felt uncomfortable when she sensed Bruce's vague defensiveness.
She treats everyone around her sincerely, except for some small secrets, she never suspects others with a speculative mentality, but Bruce is different.
Tony Stark gave Eva the same feeling at the beginning, but he was more outgoing than Bruce, Eva thought, maybe because of the rowdy teammates around him.
Eva remembered the tone of utter comfort and liking when Tony had talked about movie night that day.
The Avengers are all well and good.
It's not Bruce's problem, and it's not Eva's problem.
This is a problem caused by different living environments.
The atmosphere in the car remained silent until Bruce stopped outside Eva's rented house, and it still didn't seem to ease.Eva regretted it as early as half an hour after the first conflict. The relationship between her and Bruce was not that close.
Then why did she say that just now?Eva was a little dazed.
Maybe it's her endlessly recurring dreams. Even though Eva didn't think of too many valuable things, for her, there are some people's names that she remembers deeply.
Like Doctor Strange, Steve Strange, or Batman.Eva exhaled, dreaming and reality are still completely different, and it is better to distinguish them in the future.
"I'm sorry." Eva turned her head to apologize to the richest man in Gotham around her when the car stopped, "Mr. Wayne, this is not what I should ask, everyone has secrets, just now My fault."
Bruce looked into Eva's clear eyes, and what he wanted to say was stuck in his heart.After Eva apologized, she pursed her lips, and the small dimples on her face appeared with her movements, looking extremely cute.
He watched Eva thank him obediently and bid him farewell, then thumped and tried to open the car door and get out.
Once, twice, three times...
Why can't this car door be opened, how angry!Eva was crying, she could feel Mr. Wayne's sight behind her!
The things on Bruce are all produced by Wayne Group. As the immediate boss of Wayne Group, the things prepared for him are naturally as good as they can be, and this car is naturally the same.The door has to have Bruce's fingerprints to open it. By the way, there is also an eye scan. If something goes wrong, the police will be called directly.
There was a sound of "click", and Eva rushed out from the raised car door as if she had found a treasure. She really rushed out and didn't even stop. A soft goodbye floated into the car from the air. , causing a smile to flash in Bruce's eyes.
It wasn't until watching Eva enter the house and the lights of the cabin came on that Bruce restarted the car and handed over the steering wheel to automatic driving.
What Eva didn't know was that before coming to Charles, Bruce hadn't entered the bedroom for several days, and the housekeeper's serial calls had already reached several birds.
This is why his subtle emotional changes are caught by Eva, and Bruce is a little surprised that Eva can detect it.
His body was warning Batman, the results of the upside-down day and night routine never stopped there, but few people were ever aware of it.
It was already one o'clock in the morning when we returned to Wayne Manor.
After seeing the owner of the Wayne family on the surveillance camera, the butler had already arrived at the Batcave with a strong cup of coffee, and Bruce, who had just returned from outside, was changing clothes.
"Oh, master, there are already several young masters here, I don't expect you to bring a new young master to the Wayne family, but at least you don't give me a sudden death ending, then the epitaph may be very ugly .” The high-strength coffee in his hand had already been passed to Batman, and the man who hadn’t put on his helmet drank it down in one gulp.
"Alfred, what's going on in Gotham these days." Batman skillfully avoided this question, neither Batman nor Bruce had anything to do with the butler.
"Except that your departure caused some people to move around, there is not much movement for the time being." Following Alfred's words, a few steps of precision instruments all over the Batcave suddenly made beeping sounds, and the eyes of the two fell at the same time. on the screen.
That's a giant bat.
It was just in time.Alfred sighed inwardly.
Batman had already put on the hood, and when he saw the bat light, the big black bat was no longer the peaceful one it was before, its voice was so hoarse that it seemed to have been burned, it was so broken and hoarse that it no longer belonged to a human voice, " I'll be back later tonight."
There was a cold breath all over his body, and the bat slid out without a sound.
The steward looked at the lamp, which they all knew.
……
When Eva got up from bed, it was early morning again, and she was used to it.As long as she is dreaming, it is possible for her to wake up at any time.
The air conditioner was on in the house, and Eva got out of bed and poured water for herself.
The house she rented this time was a two-story white building like the previous house, but the interior layout was much warmer, and Eva fell in love with it immediately when she came to see it.Although the rent here is not cheap, Eva rented it without hesitation.
She was standing in the kitchen drinking water, the morning stars outside the window were struggling to shine their last light in the gradually brightening sky, a fishy white lighted up from the sky, followed by a faint golden yellow.
Eva finished watching the completely white sky in the kitchen, and then packed her things to go to school.
Now she understands the little spider's idea of wanting to rush out all day long. After going through so many things, she always feels a little ready to move in the quiet and peaceful campus life.
However, Eva restrained this little thought very well. Although her current life is completely different from her original idea of wanting to stay away from superhero mutants, it is not so unpleasant.
It would be great if nothing happened to the Avengers. Thinking of this, Eva felt a little heavy.Fortunately, the Avengers still came forward to solve New York's problems during this period. Although they came and went more hastily than before, no bad news is good news.
Before Eva arrived at the school, the window TV on the street attracted her attention, and what occupied the screen was a report from a competent hostess: "...a large drug deal broke out in Gotham last night... Batman prevents...rescue 31 people who were threatened in a gun fight...now we're doing random phone interviews..."
After listening to the last sentence, Eva was about to be late, so she ran away, and the faint voice still reached her ears. The first person to be interviewed by phone seemed to be a housewife, and her swearing made Eva Trance.
Two landscapes flashed through his eyes, and Eva's vision was a little dazed.
It seemed that overnight everyone began to have a sense of crisis. Many people talked about superheroes and ordinary people, mutants and ordinary people, even Midtown High School was no exception.
Eva was standing in the bathroom washing her hands. Two chattering female classmates had just left the door. She had been forced to listen to their discussions about superheroes for several minutes, focusing more on their figures and physical strength. The two sentences involved saving the world and hurting ordinary people, and then quickly returned to the original obscenity, and even started to discuss getting up to work hard.
Eva: ...
She finally washed her face and walked out of the bathroom, but she saw Peter passing by the corridor. When she saw her, she stopped in surprise. She seemed to want to say something, but hesitated to say something, and finally said a little embarrassedly. , "Eva, can I speak to you privately?"
Eva saw that the eyes of the people in the corridor were not right, and hurriedly drove the little spider out, "Okay, as long as you don't say such things like I'm going to do something to you."
She was a little desperate, how did this shy little spider get so hot with the talkative Deadpool?
It was just lunch time, and the two of them stopped by to buy lunch before sneaking to the school activity room. Eva sat on the seat and looked at the little spider's bread, "Do you like this kind of sweet thing? "
Peter paused for a few seconds while biting the bread, "Recently, a friend kept bringing desserts to see me, and he spoiled it."
Eva looked at the pink on Peter's fair face, knew who that friend was, and changed the subject tactfully. She didn't want to lose both ways now, otherwise the little spider would look even more embarrassed.
"What do you want from me?" Eva quickly settled her lunch, seeing Peter sitting on the steps looking a little at a loss, and asked a question.
"I originally wanted to ask you if you had any news about Mr. Stark. Recently, he didn't let me go to the base or the Avengers Building. I don't know. Did I do something wrong?" Peter looked a little nervous and spoke very quickly.
Eva pursed her lips, what happened inside the Avengers was a secret, if Iron Man didn't tell Peter about it, then her best choice was to keep him from knowing.
but……
"I don't know." Eva really didn't know, the little spider's curly hair drooped at a speed visible to the naked eye, "But you can change the way, maybe you can get a lot of information."
Peter looked at Eva suspiciously.
"If you can't get a response from the front, then the news from the side may also be of great value. Remember the summit that the captain and the others attended?"
Peter's IQ is not low, he just occasionally has a little low EQ. Not long after Eva finished speaking, his face changed slightly, and he seemed to know what Eva told him.
"They just don't want you to be involved in this dangerous situation. I know it was an accident. Peter, I understand how you feel, but there is nothing we can do now."
Eva believes that with Tony's approach, Spider-Man's true identity is still unknown at S.H.I.E.L.D. As long as Peter can hold back, there will be no problems for the time being.
What's more, S.H.I.E.L.D. has no intention of distracting other superheroes at all.
Eva asked Clark to help find some reports from other countries, which was easily done when he was acting as a reporter.As for Superman's powers... Eva knew that Clark would never use his powers to disrupt order, and neither would she.
And the news obtained from these is enough, and now the atmosphere of exchanges and discussions is getting stronger and stronger. If there are any problems at this time, it will be really troublesome.
What Eva knows, those superheroes who are in the midst of disputes naturally know better than her, but things still have to be done.
"I heard a lot of them were angry." Spider-Man said suddenly, clasping his hands, his eyes fixed on his fingers. "They told the Avengers to get out of New York, saying our presence made them more dangerous."
Eva looked at the lonely Peter, "Then what do you think?"
“There are a lot of people who speak out for superheroes, but there’s a lot of bickering.” After all, Peter is a teenager, and the Internet is a second world to him, and he’s not old enough to laugh off the words.
No, Eva changed this sentence silently in her heart, no one could laugh off such a sentence.
She remembered that Clark had discussed with her about Batman. The appearance of her brother at that time made Eva realize for the first time that sometimes the human heart is not enough.
"You don't need to worry about them." Eva took the initiative to approach Peter and sat down beside him, "You have to know, such a talent is not a bad thing. My ability is also, I didn't like it at first, but in the end I think It's not a problem. Just pay attention to it in normal times, let alone you use it to save the world."
"It's not your fault, Peter." Eva explained seriously. This world is completely different from her previous world, full of various crises.These superheroes are not obliged to take on such responsibilities, but they go to the battlefield.
In any case, they, ordinary people who are protected, owe it to them.Eva folded her hands, she was also one of those who owed it.
It seems that all walks of life are looking forward to such a moment, whether the contradictions will become more intensified, or everyone will take a step back.
At this time, an unexpected news disrupted the arrangements of various countries.
On August 8, NASA delivered a secret document to the White House. At the same time, SHIELD captured some unreachable messages from outer space, not to mention the Superman floating in the metropolis at this moment. .
He lifted off after a rescue operation, and when everyone nearby looked at him with crazy love, admiration, or disgust, Superman stopped.
The Kryptonian looked up at the distant unknown sky at a distance of more than ten meters from the ground. Under the sky, his blue and transparent eyes were dazed and confused, and Shenzi rarely paused.
In the next second, Superman suddenly soared into the sky and flew into space at supersonic speed.
The citizens of the metropolis didn't know what Superman's pause for a few seconds represented, and they dispersed separately, expressing different and free speeches.
Satellites belonging to different countries and organizations silently watched Superman break through the atmosphere. Several countries that were once sensitive to this did not respond, and they followed every move of Superman.
Let's hope Superman brings a completely different result.
Eva stood where she was, as if feeling something in her heart, she looked up at the sky.
Jenny touched Eva's arm, looking a little worried, "Eva, is something wrong?" Eva came back to her senses and shook her head and chuckled, "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered the past, let's go .”
They came out today to complete some assigned holiday homework. Although Eva and Jenny are in different classes, but the teacher allows cross-class combination, the two of them decided to use flowers to complete this part of the work.
And they had just come out of the flower shop, it was not during the festival, and the price of flowers was not as high as usual, which made the girls choose a lot of beautiful flowers, including big red roses.
Jenny soon discovered that despite Eva's words, she still looked disturbed.
Knowing that the girl didn't want her to worry, and she didn't know what the problem was, Jenny simply didn't even go shopping, and took Eva to a coffee shop to sit down and rest.
The coffee shop was supposed to be quiet, but there was a TV in the far corner, playing soft music, and no one complained.
Jenny helped Eva order coffee, and then looked at Eva and said, "Think about everything you should think about here, and you can't think about it when you go out. I didn't know what to look at when I just crossed the road." road."
Eva blushed slightly, knowing that Jenny had seen through her.She was indeed a little restless, but she didn't know why.
Coffee for both of them was served soon, and Eva and Jenny enjoyed the rare tranquility in the afternoon, and the girl's mood returned to normal soon.
Just when they were about to leave, the TV station that had been playing music suddenly interrupted a piece of news.
At first Eva didn't notice what the news was at all, until she keenly caught the word "Superman" and turned to watch the TV so fast that Jenny couldn't catch it.
"...It is reported that this morning Superman went to outer space to prevent an asteroid from impacting the earth. This has happened three times in Superman's past. But this time is different. We can see that Superman fell from outside the atmosphere. Then Is it the fall of the Son of God? That asteroid may be carrying mutated virus blood, which even Superman cannot bear..."
"Eva!" Jenny looked at Eva's trembling body, thinking that she was worried about Superman's safety, just like many women in the coffee shop are crying in worry.
"Jenny," Eva took a deep breath, then turned to look at her friend, "I can't go shopping today." Jenny nodded understandingly, looking worried at Eva's appearance.
Eva sent Jenny away with a strong smile, and called Martha directly on the street corner, "Mom..." She heard Martha's voice, and knew that Martha had seen the news.
"Mom, it's okay. He'll be fine." Eva was worried, and she was angry.When she kept comforting Martha on the road, the man passing by shouted loudly, "I knew that this fucking alien would end up like this sooner or later! Get out of the earth as soon as possible!"
This kind of movement was naturally reviled by many people, but Eva still felt tired.
She knew where Superman fell, it was the Pacific Ocean.Eva also knew that there must be many people rushing there now, maybe they were kind or malicious.
The body of a superman is the most insane research material.
Now she was standing in the street, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Eva thinks about what she's been doing these days, training, studying, training...it's not doing anything to help Clark.
Anger, sadness, despair, worry... A force that spontaneously emerged from her heart grabbed Eva, and the air brushed against her skin made people feel uncomfortable, and there were whispers in the air, she couldn't hear clearly, but Very present.
She grabbed her arm, and the familiar yet unfamiliar burning sensation made Eva uncomfortable all over.She avoided the alley with difficulty, felt the faint sweet fragrance, and swallowed the groan that came out of her mouth.
The person who just passed by is a speed changer, the girl on the corner is a water person, there is a bird person on the third floor of the building behind, the couple in Kansas are transsexuals, and the owner of a fruit shop ten kilometers away is a risk controller .
It was as if a voice roared in Eva's ear about the identity of each mutant.New York, Seattle, San Francisco, and even Alaska... A lot of complicated information flooded into Eva's mind at once, causing her a splitting headache, and she leaned against the wall in pain and clasped it tightly.
"No," Eva gasped a few times, and countless figures flashed through her mind. Eva clearly knew everyone's ability, "No..."
It hurts so much.
In Westchester, in the beautiful castle of the X Academy, Charles is talking to Wolverine.
They also received the news that Superman fell from a high altitude, and the nearest team rushed over, but the current situation is still unknown.
Charles tried, but he couldn't connect to Superman, which meant that Superman was completely unconscious.
When Wolverine was about to say something, he suddenly saw the professor put his finger on his forehead, his blue eyes were full of shock, "Oh God, Eva, Eva, can you hear me?"
Wolverine frowned suddenly.
At that moment, Charles felt a majestic and irresistible force sweeping across the entire United States, perhaps more areas.
And this force Charles is very familiar with, it was Eva who just came over last week.
God, what kind of power is that, just at the moment it swept across, Charles could feel the slight tremor of the mental barrier.
Since the apocalypse, no one has been able to shake his barrier, and this time Charles felt the crisis.
Charles really didn't expect that Eva's ability would usher in such a big eruption after Queens, it was like a volcanic eruption, carrying the powerful energy of nature.
Eva grasped a trace of clarity in the painful struggle, and she heard the professor's voice, "I...listen, here it is." She almost exhausted all her strength to finish this short sentence.
She didn't know that the glistening tears were rolling down her cheeks, like she was mourning for Superman.
"Eva, can you calm down?" Charles comforted Eva with a soft but powerful voice, and used this rare opportunity to connect with the girl to transmit calm and joyful emotions, helping Eva control the sudden surge information.
"I... can know, I can feel them," Eva said hoarsely, as she staggered to cover herself in the situation, "I can control them." Just a drop of her blood.
Eva was so determined in her heart.
"Why?" She struggled to emerge from the picture that almost drowned her, trying not to be immersed in the huge sea of data.
Charles knew what it felt like, when he had survived the apocalypse, when he closed his eyes, he felt countless trickles converging and dispersing, and he felt the sparkle in the converging rivers, which was the source of the whole world. movement.
Without the need for a mastermind, he can already sense most people. Of course, he still needs a mastermind to accurately distinguish each mutant.
But that feeling is not good.
Charles never opened up his mind, never fully used his abilities.It is not a good thing to control the power of life master like that.
Lust corrupts, indulgence uncontrollable, and Charles can't take that risk.
"Eva," Charles' clear and gentle voice grabbed Eva's attention tightly, causing her to withdraw from the huge messages, "Remember? Control your power, don't let your power control you."
Eva huddled in the corner, hugging her knees tightly. There were many people passing by on the street, and no one knew that there was an atomic bomb on the verge of explosion hidden in the alley on the left.
"Professor," Eva's forehead rested on her knees, her voice sounded from her mouth, and it also sounded in her mind, "I think I know what my other ability means." Eva found calmness in the pain, although They are still there.
"The smell of blood can control not only mutants, but also superheroes." Thinking of the clown, Eva added weakly, "Maybe there are also super villains."
"Wow, that's really good." Charles admired without hesitation. "You controlled it, Eva, you did a good job."
"I'm not doing well." Eva's fingers gripped her arm tightly. "I don't want to control it anymore."
She had assured Martha that Clark would be fine.She had to get to the Pacific Ocean before those who might harm Clark, even if it meant Eva had to use her powers, she would definitely go there!
"I'm sorry, Professor." Eva cut off the contact and stood up.She still had a splitting headache, but it was much better than before.
Eva staggered out of the alley, from the darkness to the sunlight, which made Eva's eyes slightly narrowed, her expression a little indifferent, and she could barely see the scenery under the sun.
There was a little blood on the girl's palm, which was the result of the pain just now, a small wound.
The girl who came out of the alley had a strange fragrance on her body, and the sweet fragrance attracted a passerby who passed by.He looked at Eva curiously, as if he didn't know where the smell came from. He was a little thin and looked like an underage boy.
But Eva knew he was a speedster.
No one told her, she just knew, Eva even knew, that for this boy, it would only take a few minutes to die from here to the Pacific coast, and this speed was enough for Eva.
Eva grabbed his clothes, looked at the boy's surprised expression and opened her mouth, "I'm sorry." Sorry, Eva said silently, with guilt, she needed this strength.
This is the last remaining consciousness of Barry.
When he woke up, Barry Allen stood by the sea in a daze, completely unaware of how he got here.
He opened his palm, and there was a rose there, with a sweet chocolate scent.
Like a gentle apology.
