When a superhero becomes a stickman

Adele knew that she was in big trouble.

Although she carefully reviewed all the things that happened in the past few days, she still had no way of determining how much Harry knew—was it just because of Vivienne's actions that caused suspicion, or whether she had heard all the conversations that day, so as to fully confirm.

Of course, her current trouble is definitely not the only one, the key is that there is another troublesome spirit in her family.

Troublemaker is very sad now: "Do you care so much about your green-eyed friend? I think he looks like a scumbag, and according to my experience, generally people who look like scumbags are scumbags." !"

Adele threw a pillow impatiently and hit him on the head: "I said, Harry is not a bad person, he just can't think about it sometimes."

Kuaiyin, who has the ability to move at super speed, was hit on the face by a huge pillow, hugged the pillow sadly, and said sadly: "Someone promised to take me to have fun in New York, but a certain rich kid As soon as the handsome guy is sad, the trip to New York is gone in a jiffy."

Adele looked at him helplessly: "Quicksilver, this is very important to me, Harry is my best friend."

Kuaiyin hugged the little pillow tightly, and muttered in a low voice, "He's also a handsome guy with a rich family."

Adele snatched his pillow and frowned: "You have to help me, I can't let Harry continue like this, he will do a lot of dangerous things, I don't want him to hurt himself, and I don't want others to be implicated by him."

Kuaiyin then raised his head and looked into her eyes intently: "But have you ever thought that some people need hatred to live?"

"No matter who the person being hated is, whether it's his good friend, passer-by, or enemy, what's the difference? He needs someone to hate, so that he doesn't blame himself so much. Sometimes it's easier to hate others than to hate yourself .”

He thought things too fast, and Adele couldn't keep up: "...What do you mean?"

Kuaiyin said: "For a person who is bent on revenge, it is impossible for you to reconcile them. He needs revenge to protect himself, otherwise? Ask him to admit that he lost his father because he failed to notice him in time. Does that daddy have a problem and stop it? He needs a catharsis: hate!"

"I think it's useless for you to talk about consolation, adjustment, etc. Why don't you just find someone else to make him hate you?"

After Kuaiyin finished speaking, he snatched back the pillow in Adele's hand very quickly, and frowned at the picture above: "Your family is even guaranteed to be a cartoon Iron Man?"

Adele said: "In fact, there are countless iron men staring at you on the tiles in our bathroom... No, digressing, you have to know that my brain is no different from any normal person's brain, so Shall we finish what we just said first?"

Quicksilver sums it up succinctly: "Make up a story. A story where someone kills Norman Osborn and plants it on Spider-Man."

Adele bowed her head.

Harry needs a con?

For her to cheat on her best friend again?

She didn't want to be so guilty when she saw Harry for the rest of her life.

Behind a lie, there are endless links of lies, she can't do this to her best friend.

Adele took a deep breath: "That's it. I'll try another method first. If it's really helpless, how about we use that method again?"

Half an hour later, the Osborne Group.

Adele stood downstairs in the building, hesitated for a long time, and then took a deep breath and walked in.

Harry's voice came through the phone: "I'm on the basement floor, turn left to the room at the end of the corridor. Come quickly, I have something interesting to show you."

Adele walked in quickly, ignoring the R&D personnel dressed in white as much as possible, and soon arrived at the room Harry mentioned.

The unique cold light in the laboratory makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

On a narrow bed, one of the thirteen identical faces that had been seen before was reflected in a pale light.

Standing in front of the laboratory bench, Harry put his hands behind his back, turned his head and smiled at Adele who walked in: "Scared you?"

Adele took a deep breath: "No, really not."

Harry turned his head and stared at the pale man on the test bench for a long time before saying, "Although this matter was done in secret, I don't want to hide it from you. We are best friends, right?"

Adele felt a little guilty: "Yes."

Harry stretched out his hand and gently stroked the tube inserted into the man's body, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I know it's illegal, but I checked this guy and found that he has no nationality, that is, he is not protected by law. It's playing around the edges."

Seeing Adele's silence for a long time, he turned his head and smiled: "What's wrong? Do you think I'm doing too much? Or is it cruel?"

Adele didn't answer the question directly, but just looked at him sincerely: "No, I just don't know why you are interested in this matter."

Harry whispered, "If the government asked, I'd say he was a volunteer."

They avoided each other's questions.

After Harry was silent for a long time, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Adele: "I don't know why, I always have a feeling that you know everything, but you don't want to tell me. Adele, I want a friend Come support me, do you understand? It’s not this kind of cold feeling like being on an island. I want someone who is really willing to stand by my side. It doesn’t matter if you love someone else. I need a stick that can hold me up , a straw for me to grasp."

He turned his head, looked at the people on the experimental platform, and said in a low voice, "A ship came to save me."

There was a long silence in the cold room.

Adele spoke suddenly, her voice was harsh in the quiet room: "I am willing."

Harry looked back at her in some surprise.

Adele said: "I will support you. You are my most precious friend, and I can do everything for you. Even if you kill someone, I will be willing to bury the evidence for you, but I don't want you to do this. I am Say, no matter what happened in the past, I hope you can stop torturing yourself."

She looked at Harry with some unease, and after a while, she had firm eyes again: "But I will never allow you to turn against Peter."

Harry laughed: "But I'm already starting to hate him."

He took a step closer to Adele: "You have said so much, why don't you want to tell me the truth? He is the damn Spider-Man, isn't he? Adele, I think if there is one person in this world who should never lie to me ,that is you."

He turned his eyes away: "Forget it."

Adele said: "Because you never asked me. You just made up your own mind, but never asked me: Who is Spider-Man? Is it Peter? If you asked me, I would tell you. Haha Leigh, every time we talk about this, the little Harry starts to rant: You haven't proven to your dad that you're great, you haven't heard him say he loves you. I just wish a grown up Harry to face it all - his death wasn't your fault, it wasn't Peter's fault, you can't just choose between blaming Peter and blaming yourself..."

Harry frowned: "I don't want to hear this. I just want to know whether you are willing to support me or not."

Adele reached out and grabbed the needle on the table: "I learned the most basic injections and blood draws from Teacher Gray."

She said, piercing the needle into her skin, and slowly drawing out a tube of blood: "I am not a mutant, but I also have different abilities, you can study it."

Harry watched the needle pierce her skin, turned his eyes away: "Don't do that."

Adele put the needle tube from which the blood was drawn on the table, and said word by word: "I also know other people with super powers, if you need their blood samples, I can get them for you, no matter what method."

Harry took gauze to seal her wound, but she avoided it.

Adele said: "Whatever you want, as long as I can get it, I can give you, as long as you promise me that you will not use it all to hurt yourself."

She looked at the person in front of her, and asked slowly: "Why do you just not want to believe that we all love you so much, that's why we don't want to just tell you the truth?"

"We want to wait a little longer, when little Harry, who is always waiting for his father to come home, is old enough to accept it all, and then we can confess to you why you just don't understand that we are doing this because we love you Do?"

She grabbed a piece of gauze to block the bleeding place, took a step back, and distanced herself from him: "Harry, I'm very disappointed in you."

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the door.

A very low voice came from behind: "Don't go, please."

Adele strode out and closed the door.

Harry was stunned, staring at the closed door for a long time, as if he had lost something precious for a moment, his heart was so empty.

However, in the next second, the girl pushed open the door and came in with a bright smile on her face: "I'm lying to you! I'm not leaving!"

Harry stood where he was, without making a sound for a long time.

Adele rushed in and sat shamelessly on the floor of the laboratory: "If you don't forgive me, I won't leave today. Drive me away if you have the ability."

Finally, a glimmer of brilliance emerged from that gloomy expression.

For the first time, he really laughed, and whispered to the girl lying on the ground:

"I won't drive you away."
