[Comprehensive] The Last Assassin

The vastness of the world is reflected in the fact that it will never change too much because of the disappearance of a person.The morning sun in New York still rises according to the season, and the warm orange light shrouds the spire of the Empire State Building, which seems to be covered with gold, shining brightly.

Dick stood on the bottom floor of the Empire State Building, looking up.The sunlight reflected the pointed dome clearly without leaving any shadows.Even the eagle is unwilling to rush into the dazzling light at this time, and he can see nothing else in his sight except the light white clouds.

——For example, an assassin who would squat on a steeple and hold his chin to scan the panorama of New York.

Shen Qiong's disappearance is innocuous to most people in New York.She is neither a well-known superhero, nor has she done anything earth-shattering like saving the earth.She is an assassin who hides in the dark. Although she has done a great thing to defend the "freedom" of the people, she is not acting for justice, let alone saving the world.She just soars for her credo.

Be free and do whatever you want. ——This is Shen Qiong herself.

Dick squinted for a moment at the top of the building as Barbara approached with two milkshakes.She handed one of the glasses to Dick, looked up at the Empire State Building, and said casually, "Are you still looking for her?"

Dick took the milkshake, nodded, and occasionally raised his head and said, "It's okay if you can't find it."

Barbara: "?"

Dick smiled and said, "I have a hunch that we will see each other again." He said firmly, "She won't die."

Barbara doesn't understand where Dick's blind confidence in Shen Qiong comes from, but as friends, she and Tim are always there to help him.So Barbara raised the milkshake and touched his glass like a wine glass, squinted her eyes and saluted to the top of the Empire State Building: "To this young assassin. For the Animus project she destroyed, for the 'freedom' she defended. "

Compared with Dick Grayson's attitude, Iron Man is obviously very dissatisfied with the unexplained disappearance of his collaborator.But when an assassin hides and doesn't want to be found, even Tony Stark can't get her out of New York-after all, he can't really lift every inch of New York.

Fortunately, Doctor Strange confirmed that she is still alive through the relationship between Shen Qiong and the Eye of Agamotto, otherwise Iron Man might really send a missing person notice to the whole United States through S.H.I.E.L.D.

Doctor Strange said: "Everyone has the right to choose their own path, even friends should not interfere."

Iron Man held the note left by Shen Qiong (it said: I'm going on vacation, please tell Uncle Steve for me), and said with disapproval: "Then she'd better be prepared, I didn't I'm going to teach her a lesson, but I'm afraid that one of the Worthingtons doesn't think so."

Warren Worthington.Since his sister healed his wounds and disappeared from the headquarters of the exorcist guild, he has issued missing persons notices all over New York, and the rewards are amazing.Just looking at the amount of remuneration, Iron Man can predict Shen Qiong's future.Warren Worthington had a bad temper, otherwise he wouldn't have been lured into joining the Templars so easily.When she came back, what greeted her was definitely the wrath of an angel.

Although Shen Qiong was missing, she had done all the things she should do before she disappeared.She really didn't like the enemy Jason Toth, but for Dick's sake, she still gave out Doctor Strange's contact information.Doctor Strange's magic is magical and subtle, and his magic should be able to heal Jason Toth's shattered fractures all over his body.

——At least this method is much more reliable than the black water of the Holy See.

Perhaps it was precisely because of these actions that everyone thought that Shen Qiong just wanted to go out to relax alone, rather than really "disappearing".

After Charles Xavier finished his communication with the government, he could see the girl lying on the armchair in his office holding a copy of "The Count of Monte Cristo" reading from the side.Her black hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and her feet in high boots were banging on the low stool.Her upper body was sunk in the back of the chair, her emerald eyes rolled around the pages of the book, and finally jumped over the pages and landed on Charles.

After finishing his work, Charles let her read the book and asked calmly, "How long are you going to hide with me?"

Shen Qiong removed the page of the book, peeked at the other party openly, and said with a smile: "At least everyone has forgotten about me."

Charles looked at her with blue eyes, as if looking at a whimsical and ignorant child, he said to Shen Qiong: "You who can manipulate time can indeed decide the demise of many things, but personal memories will never be destroyed again." Within the sphere of your jurisdiction. Unless death comes, at least your brother will never forget your existence."

"Are you going to never show up for this?"

Shen Qiong was silent for a while, and said to Charles: "I am dying. My father told me to go to North America in order to control my power and avoid further side effects."

"But Charles, you see—"

She tilted her neck like the other party, revealing the smooth and complete skin on the back of the neck: "My stamina was injured, but I didn't use the ability again, but it still healed—and then, it showed a large area of ​​cuts —heal again.”

"I'm going back in time." Shen Qiong blinked her green eyes, "Charles, my current time point should be not long after I first came to New York."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a pain in her calf.Shen Qiong looked down and saw that the bright red liquid quickly stained her trousers red, she smiled and said: "The me now should be when I first met you."

Charles lowered his gaze: "...that should have happened a year ago."

Shen Qiong nodded: "Almost."

Charles looked up and said to her, "It's only been a week since you came to me."

Shen Qiong blinked: "Well, yes."

Charles pursed his lips and said to Shen Qiong, "I'll help you treat the wound."

Shen Qiong let out an "ah" when she heard the words: "That's not necessary, since time goes backwards, the wound should heal after a while."

Charles was silent, but the expression in his eyes was full of disapproval.Shen Qiong raised her hands in surrender, took off her shoes and rolled up her trousers: "...Look, I said it's ready."

There was no wound on her calf, only red blood stains proved that she was indeed injured before.

Charles checked and made sure that Shen Qiong's wound was healed, then he withdrew his hand and asked, "Have you thought about a solution?"

While rolling back her trousers, Shen Qiong said: "Think about it, so I came here. But the fragment of the Time Gem can no longer be found, and I have no other way. Dr. Strange gave me a A bottle of potion can probably delay my symptoms, but it can't change the ending."

"I have an agreement with him. He will keep a secret for me. This is his ethics as a doctor. Neither Tony nor my uncle will know."

"That's why I wanted to run. You said that if Warren sees me like this, he will leave a shadow?" Shen Qiong stared at the ground, "I don't want to leave bad memories for him when I find my relatives. "

Charles didn't answer, but instead asked, "Then why did you come to me?"

Shen Qiong didn't look away this time, she stared at Charles Xavier with her emerald-like pupils.Looking at the mutant professor who had taught her, she didn't show a lazy smile, nor did she use her usual casual tone.

She stared at the other party, raised her head slightly, concentrated her attention, and said very seriously: "Although I know this is unfair to you, I hope that when I still have the ability, I will be in front of you."

She slowly walked in front of Charles and knelt down, her slender neck hanging down, looking particularly vulnerable.She leaned her face on his lap and said softly, "I'm afraid of death, but I don't want to lose my mind because of it."

There was a look of helplessness in Charles' blue eyes, he stretched out his hand, and stroked Shen Qiong's head.

Shen Qiong heard him say very gently: "Then stay here first, Jubilee will be very happy."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiong grabbed his hand with a smile, and suddenly raised her head and asked, "What about you?"

Charles: "...?"

Shen Qiong said slowly: "Professor." She bent her eyes, grabbed the other's hand and suddenly got up and kissed him.

Charles was sitting in a wheelchair and couldn't avoid it at all. After being captured by this guy, he couldn't speak for a while.

Shen Qiong leaned on his wheelchair with one hand, and still grabbed his wrist with the other, smiling very proudly: "I've wanted to do this for a long time, and it's quite simple? Professor, won't you invade my mind and stop me?"

Charles Xavier's blue eyes were like the sea. He looked at Shen Qiong, and slowly there was only one person left in the deep sea of ​​stars.He stared at her, looking directly at Shen Qiong, she unconsciously let go of his hand.After Charles was free again, he beckoned to Shen Qiong, and said slowly, "Shen Qiong."

Shen Qiong was a little hesitant, but her self-esteem that refused to admit defeat by nature made her bite the bullet and replied: "What's wrong? I won't apologize."

Charles directly reached out and grabbed her neck, and Shen Qiong was staggered forward by the strength of the other party, and then got a real, kinky kiss.When she gasped and couldn't speak a word, Charles Xavier couldn't help but chuckled, and said to Shen Qiong, "You can breathe now."

Shen Qiong was still holding her breath, and it took a while before she said: "I can hold my breath for 10 minutes."

Charles replied: "It's not a skill to brag about."

Shen Qiong: "... Anyway, I can."

Charles smiled, and he said to Shen Qiong, "What do you want to say now?"

Shen Qiong blinked and said, "Can I sleep with you?"

Charles smiled, "No."

The disappointment on Shen Qiong's face was palpable, and Charles Xavier was indifferent. He pushed the wheelchair away and said to Shen Qiong, "It's time for me to go to class, and you should also go and say hello to Jubilee."

Shen Qiong looked at his background rather unwillingly, she folded her chest and muttered: "Just wait."

Charles nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll wait."

However, he left the room and avoided Shen Qiong, so he couldn't help covering his face with his hands.Charles took a deep breath, but couldn't help laughing.

He looked outside the lush green house and saw the tree.

He still remembered the appearance of the eagle flying towards him from the other end of the tree, and this was probably the memory that Shen Qiong could not take away from him.
