When Aunt Carly moved, she had already prepared a room for Claire on the second floor. She put her childhood toy clothes, posters of Clark Gable and Audrey Hepburn, including her favorite pink radio as a child. Moving from New York to West Chester together, Claire pushed open the door, walked to the bookshelf in the corner, and brushed the spines of those old books one by one.

There are children's books, and "The Great Little Detective Nate" that every elementary school student is required to read by the teacher, and "Pride and Prejudice" that girls must read, and Aunt Carly would read it to her at her bedside when she was a child "The Little Prince" and "Twelve Uses of Dragon's Blood" which she brought with her when she visited Aunt Carly in the United States.

In the far corner of the bookshelf is an old photo embedded in a photo frame. A young man and woman are sitting on the red granite and smiling brightly at the camera. The man is wearing a black robe, has black hair and blue eyes, handsome appearance and temperament Elegant.The woman was blond and tall, wearing a red cashmere cloak, leaning on the man's shoulder, with a sweet smile like a girl.

This is the last photo her parents sent back before their death.

Here is Jordan's Moon Valley, a desolate red desert in the wind-eroded granite and sandstone mountains, famous in the world for the landform closest to the moon.Here, there lives a kind of dry land lizard that hides at night and emerges at night. Its ancestors are inextricably related to the Fireball Dragon of the Arabian Peninsula.

Claire had already been there before she graduated, but there were no traces of wizards except for the Muggle tourists in twos and threes.

She put the photo frame back to its original place, then stretched out her left hand, and pulled out a ray of red light from the copper bracelet on her right hand. She pulled the ray of red light with her fingertips, leading it to the side of the photo frame, and the red light slowly The light gradually dimmed, and when the light disappeared, there was only a beautifully crafted Russian doll left beside the photo frame.

"Good night." She flicked the smiling blonde girl in the red dress on the nesting doll with her fingers.

The next night, the second-level hurricane Titan made landfall, New York was violently windy, and the sea water poured back, and one third of Staten Island was submerged. West Chester was affected by the outer wind circle, and it rained heavily, but at least the TV signal was It's not broken, but the heat of the Champions League final has long been overwhelmed by the hurricane landing, and the hurricane tracking is overwhelming on TV.

Aunt Carly bought the daily necessities at the supermarket in the small town a few days in advance. It was windy and windy outside, so the aunt and nephew stayed at home and watched TV.Because cousin Bruce is in New York now, Aunt Carly pays special attention to the situation in New York hit by the hurricane, watching interviews on several channels.

There are interviews with forecasters from the US National Hurricane Center——

"When 'Titan' landed, the eye of the wind was still intact and clear, with a central pressure of 958 hPa and a maximum wind force of level 11. Of course, this was not the most terrifying. The storm surge carried by 'Titan' was the most terrifying when it landed. Deadly! Manhattanites, please stay at home as much as possible and don’t go out! Don’t go out!”

There are interviews with residents in areas not affected by the storm surge——

"The wind was so strong that I didn't dare to open the windows. There was almost a power outage today, but why do you reporters still run around in the wind?"

A reporter roared while holding a microphone in one hand and a tree in the other—

"I'm in Manhattan, New York! Hurricane Titan has landed! The wind is so strong! I can only hold on to this tree! I'm about to be blown away! The rain hurts my face! My whole body People are about to collapse!"

Aunt Carly watched the reporters making live reports crookedly by the wind, and sighed: "I hope Bruce will stay in the institute obediently and not go out."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a scream from the reporter on the TV. Claire thought that something happened to the reporter, so she hurriedly turned to watch the TV, only to see that the tree the reporter was holding had been broken by the wind. Originally, he was still tightly holding a rope tied to the interview vehicle, but he loosened his hand in shock, hugging the broken tree and falling backwards.

Aunt Carly outside the TV saw the accident and couldn't help but screamed. At this moment, a touch of green broke into the camera, and the reporter who was about to be blown away by the wind was grabbed by the collar by a pair of huge green hands. The reporter responded Coming over, trembling all over, he found his balance, and immediately tightened his grip on the rope tied to the interview vehicle.

Rao just circled around the edge of life and death, and he did not forget his professionalism, shouting excitedly: "It's the Hulk! It's the Hulk! It's the Hulk who saved me!" He handed the microphone to the green The giant, "May I ask if all the Avengers are dispatched for disaster relief?"

The green giant glanced at him, turned, and walked slowly into the squall.

Aunt Carly breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the Avengers are all dispatched, which is really rare..."

She turned her head to look at Claire, only to see that her wizard niece, who had just returned to the Muggle world, opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth, staring blankly at the reporter who was still excitedly shouting "Hulk saved me" on the TV.

"Claire?" Aunt Carly called in confusion.

Claire didn't respond.

"Claire?" Aunt Carly shook her shoulder.

Claire swayed with her movements, but still didn't respond.

It wasn't until the TV screen turned that an iron man flying in the wind and rain lifted two New York citizens trapped in the water into the air, and when the reporter's excited "Iron Man! Iron Man is on the move", she mechanically Turning her head, looking at Aunt Carly, the corner of her mouth twitched and said, "Aunt... is this really... the Muggle world?"

"Of course," said Aunt Carly.

"But..." She pointed to the TV, "But I remember that there are no green giants in the Muggle world, and there are no robots that can fly in the air."

"That's Hulk and Iron Man," said Aunt Carly. "They're superheroes."

Superheroes have special abilities beyond ordinary people, do some unusual feats and heroic actions, protect the people, and fight against evil forces. They are often active in New York and are deeply loved by the people of New York.

"The veracity of the last sentence is doubtful." Aunt Carly said, "In fact, New York has become more and more dangerous in recent years. A few years ago, "Time Magazine" selected New York as the most unlivable city, and New York topped the list because of superheroes. The activeness of the New Yorkers has caused the people of New York to live in dire straits all year round."

After listening to Aunt Carly's explanation, Claire remained expressionless: "I don't remember the existence of superheroes back then."

"Terrorists have become more and more rampant these years, so superheroes have emerged." Aunt Carly said, looking at her, "Do you remember Captain America?"

Claire frowned and thought for a while, only to find that the name was very familiar, but she couldn't remember exactly what it was, so she could only shake her head.

"Captain America was a hero of World War II. Later, in order to smash the conspiracy of the German army, he flew a plane into the sea and disappeared." Aunt Carly said. Participating, he came here wearing Captain America's tights, and you praised his clothes for being handsome."

Claire: "..."

She laughed dryly: "How old am I?"

"It seems to be five years old?" Aunt Carly thought for a while, then waved her hand and said, "A few years ago, S.H.I.E.L.D. found Captain America in the ice on the seabed, and then organized an organization led by Captain America and Iron Man. Many superheroes, established the Avengers, a superhero organization."

Claire was very contradictory at this time. When she was in Krakow, she came into contact with mutants. She also knew that there was a minority group in the Muggle world that had special abilities and behaved in a low-key way. Eric, who was completely different, seemed to be hiding an unknown crisis in the peaceful and happy Muggle world in her impression.

But now, watching the Hulk walking freely in the urban forest and the Iron Man soaring in the wind and rain on TV, she only felt that this Muggle world seemed to be more and more different from the Muggle world in her impression.

She thought of Madam Pomfrey asking her what an ordinary Muggle life was like back at Hogwarts, and she answered emphatically, at least not flying around on a broomstick.

And now...

She wanted to write one right away, send it to the distant Hogwarts castle, and tell Madam Pomfrey.

"I was wrong, Madam Pomfrey, if Muggles want to fly around, they don't need brooms anymore."

However, since superheroes are active in New York, it means that it is fine for her not to go to New York.

Claire blinked, thinking of the children playing football on the road in front of their house, the teenager humming on a skateboard, and the shy young teacher wearing glasses at the Xavier School for Gifted Children.

correct!

West Chester is just an ordinary town!And although the school she worked for was called "School for Gifted Boys", it was just an ordinary school for Muggle geniuses!

Her dream of "ordinary Muggle life" has not been shattered!

There is still hope for everything!
