[Comprehensive British and American] Super British can't save the world

Alicia seemed unaffected.

Stephen Strange is not sure whether everything "yesterday" really happened, which is almost impossible for a magician, especially since the guardian of the Eye of Agamotto can stand alone outside the vortex of time. Affected, which is why Anan Ke failed to modify his memory.

He thought, probably because the battle between two people who were similar to "gods" started very quickly and ended just as quickly. Ananke, who could modify reality, was not Alicia's opponent. He pinched off Ananke's neck, then tore open Ananke's chest, took out his own heart, then turned Ananke's body into a blood mist, and finally produced a flame out of nothing to burn up the blood mist.

Alicia spends more time cleaning up the scene than both of them fight.

"I have to make sure Ananke is gone," she explained.

Of course Strange asked, "Why - I thought you were dead."

She smiled like a flower, "You shouldn't be so stupid. I really 'won't die', and taking out the heart will only make me unconscious for a while." She still holds the bloody heart in her hand, but it looks a little Not scary, just a little weird.

Strange was a doctor and wouldn't think it was a big deal.In a life-and-death situation, he was glad the girl he knew survived.

She treated the heart in the same way, turned it into a blood mist, and then burned the blood mist with fire.

With a snap of the fingers, the blood stains in the wedding hall disappeared, and the air was immediately refreshed with the light fragrance of lilies.

He snapped his fingers again, and Magneto, who was still locked in the iron cage, also disappeared.

Strange looked at Tony Stark, who was lying lifelessly on the floor with his neck broken, and said with a heavy heart, "What about him? What should he do?"

"I died once, and he died once. It's fair." She looked so serious that he couldn't figure out whether she was joking or not. "You can feel his pulse, he drank my blood, how could he die so easily."

Tony drank her blood?He didn't know that.

He squatted down and pressed his fingers on Tony's neck artery: there was a very faint pulsation.

He was relieved.

With a snap of the fingers, the world returned to normal.

Tony Stark's throat hurts.

Ananke really crushed his laryngeal cartilage. X-rays showed that the thyroid cartilage was fractured and the cricoid cartilage was damaged, which made it difficult for him to breathe and swallow.

He was dead for no more than 10 minutes, just missed Alicia's battle with Anan, and after opening his eyes and regaining consciousness, the timeline has returned to normal, returning to the early morning of May 5.

Strange took him to the hospital and had a minor tracheotomy.

Alicia was by his side the whole time, holding his hand.

Tony, who can't speak, is a bit like a big boy at this time, afraid that this is just a dream, afraid that she will disappear again.

Christine Palmer said quietly: "Although I don't know what happened, but Mr. Stark, you are a bigman, don't be like this, don't be afraid."

Tony wanted to smile, but couldn't.

A tracheostomy is such a minor operation that even a trainee can do it.Christine really didn't know why Strange would seriously ask her for surgery.

"You should be thankful that I'm on duty tonight." After the operation, Christine ordered the nurses to perform postoperative care.

"I can only trust you."

"You're being too cautious. Is it because he's a Stark?"

"Maybe. Is he really all right? Except here." Strange pointed to his throat.

"If you are worried, I can arrange for him to have a comprehensive physical examination."

"Okay, let's give him a comprehensive physical examination." Strange hesitated for a while, and didn't say that he should pay special attention to blood routine and other blood tests.

Tony stayed in the hospital for 24 hours and returned to Avengers Headquarters on the morning of May 5.

6 month 1 day.

Peter Parker is very happy: Today is his 16th birthday, and he can go to test his driver's license next week.

The school has long been on summer vacation. Apart from going to her charity organization with Aunt Mei to do some volunteer activities, most of the rest of the time is spent surfing the Internet at home, reading information books, and playing with Ned on the 2000-odd Death Star Lego. And, most importantly, Going on a date with Alicia, of course.

There is a lot of time in the summer vacation, and I can finally have more time to go on dates besides being a hero. I am very happy, I feel that I am great, and I have not lost anything.

When he woke up early in the morning, Mei urged him to go out to find Alicia to go out to play, and told him to bring her back for dinner at night. She prepared him a sumptuous dinner and a birthday cake.

He was a little shy, "Mei, I'm not a kid anymore."

"Oh, you started to feel like an adult when you turned 16?" Mei feigned surprise and rubbed his hair, "Get up and throw your dirty clothes in the laundry basket, you have to tidy up your room before you can go out I don't want Alicia to see your bed full of dirty clothes when she comes." She made a disgusted expression, "And sneakers!"

"I finished cleaning my sneakers last night." Even Spider-Man had to clean his sneakers honestly, and he couldn't be lazy.

"That's good. Oh, what are you going to wear today? Let me take a look before you leave. You teenages always dare to go out when they are messy. I tell you, girls don't like dirty boys , you must be fresh and clean, don’t grow a beard and pretend to be an adult if you’re okay, it’s not good to have a beard, unless you’re Tony Stark..."

"May—" Peter wailed, "I'm going to get dressed, you go out."

Mei rubbed his head a few more times before going out with a smile.

Peter lay dreaming for a few minutes before getting up, putting on his T-shirt and jeans, making the bed, and throwing the dirty laundry in the hamper outside the door where May would take it to the laundry.

I had a simple breakfast: fried egg and bacon sandwiches, milk, and a few boiled asparagus. It took another hour to clean up the room. At 1:8, I had to take a shower before going out.

I took another 15 minutes to shower and wash my hair, and 3 minutes to dry my hair. I changed into a blue and white striped Oxford short-sleeved shirt and dark blue jeans. It was more formal than the usual T-shirt, but not too serious.

Dressed in front of the mirror, came to the living room, "Mei, are you sure this stripe won't look too old-fashioned?"

"No, this is a very safe way to wear it, it won't be too boring, and it won't be too conspicuous. Or, you wear that big Hawaiian flower?"

Peter quickly refused, "No."

"Have you made a date with Alicia yet?"

"I have made an appointment. I will pick her up at 10 o'clock. I will go to the bookstore first, then have lunch, and watch a movie in the afternoon. Instead of having dinner outside, I will come back for dinner and birthday cake."

Mei was very satisfied, "Not bad. Is your pocket money enough?" Opening his wallet, he gave him three more 3-dollar bills, "Buy some snacks or something. How can I teach you?"

"It's worth spending money on, especially, dating girls."

"Okay, it's time for you to go." Mei glanced at the wall clock on the wall, "You still can't drive, take a taxi."

He really went to Manhattan by car honestly.

Alicia is in her room.

Peter knocked on the door, "Alicia."

"Come in."

"Are you ready? Can you go?" Peter stuck his head in.

"Let's go." Alicia put down the items in her hand and stood up.

Peter glanced at the object curiously: a ball that looked like it was made of bark.

She always has a lot of weird gadgets.

She wore a sky blue satin A-line skirt with excellent material and tailoring, a white cotton baby doll shirt with a hollow neckline on the upper body, and sky blue denim flat-heeled short boots, which were casual and elegant.

"Do you want to tell Dr. Strange?" Peter scratched his head: Her guardian should be Dr. Strange, so she should tell him if she wants to go out, huh?

"No, he already knows." Alicia closed the door, then took his hand, "Let's go."

"You—" Peter Parker hesitated a bit, "You seem to have changed a bit, I can't say...you seem to have grown up? Isn't it?"

"Can you tell?" Alicia was very happy, "I have grown up a bit, and I should be about the same bone age as you now."

Peter's scientific literacy was put to the test, "Because you're a mutant?" he whispered carefully, lest the other diners overhear.

"Probably. I have to get a new identification document, just—just the same birthday as you, okay?"

Peter was a little confused, "Can you change the date of birth?" But she actually chose his birthday, which seemed a little strange, and also seemed...very good!

"I'm a mutant, so it doesn't matter."

Seems to be fine.The date of birth is only the date when you came into this world. In fact, what should be commemorated more is the day when your mother gave birth to you.Every year his birthday is happy and sad, especially when he lies in bed at night, he misses his mother Mary Parker very much.

"You, why do you want to grow up quickly?"

"Isn't that good? I don't want to be a child all the time. Maybe I will go to your school next semester."

"Really?" Peter asked in surprise.

"Fake." She dug a scoop of ice cream and stuffed it into his mouth with a smile, "I'm going to teach at X Academy next semester."

"Huh?" I was really startled now, "You mean, you're going to be a teacher? That'sawesome!"

"uh-huh."

That seems to be... nothing wrong with it.But wait!That Pietro seems to be at X Academy!

"Does that mean that I will see you less in the future?"

"No, you were also in class when I went to class. After you finished school, I came back. It's no different from before."

Peter breathed a sigh of relief.

Evening, Parker's house.

May Parker also noticed that Alicia had grown up a bit.

"Alicia, you—are you a little older, aren't you?"

Peter was so surprised that he almost dropped the fork.He glanced at Mei anxiously, then at Alicia.

"Tell her." Alicia said lightly.

"That's because," Peter swallowed emptyly, "Ellie is a mutant, and she can regulate the development of her own body."

"Oh. Oh——" Mei's performance was quite calm.So much so that Peter wondered why she didn't turn pale with fright when she heard the word "mutant" like ordinary people.

"Is it really all right? I thought you'd—would be scared."

Mei thought it was funny, "Who do you think your Aunt Mei is? To tell you the truth, I have seen many more mutants than you think."

Now Peter was stunned again, "What?"

"You've always only known me as a social worker, right? But there are many types of social workers. Although most of the Battle of Chitauri took place in Manhattan, it wasn't just buildings that were damaged, but people. New York City There's a lot of mutants, there's Manhattan, there's Queens." May gave him a "you get it" look.

May said nothing more, but turned to Peter.It is said that Peter joined the quiz team and will participate in a national academic competition "Academic Decathlon" next semester. A good ranking in the academic competition is obviously very helpful for applying for a good university.

Alicia was very interested and asked him, "Have you decided which university to apply to?"

Peter glanced at May quickly, "Stevens Institute of Technology, or New York University."

"I thought you wanted to go to MIT. What? Don't you just want to go to the alma mater of your idol, Mr. Stark?" May was a little strange.

"MIT is a private university, and the tuition is too expensive. Although Stevens is also private, the tuition is cheaper. I think I should be able to apply for a scholarship." Peter is such a lovely boy.

"Oh, Peter!" May was moved. "Don't you worry about tuition. You know I'm pretty cheap. I saved half of Ben's salary for your college fund. Also," she He hesitated for a while, "Your parents have inheritance to you. I think at least you can choose any university you want without worrying about tuition fees. I heard that Sterk Industries has a research fund in MIT. You are so smart. In the future Definitely getting a research grant, omg! This future is exciting just thinking about it!"

That's really a plus.

Alicia also said: "Yeah, going to MIT must be much better than Stevens Institute of Technology, right? You can ask Tony to write you a letter of recommendation."

So tempting, so tempting.

"You want to stay in New York because of me?" Mei suddenly realized, "Silly boy! Ben will be back next year. This time I will let him stay in China for a few years before considering sending him abroad again. Don't worry, Ben is not in New York. , I can also take care of myself. Speaking of which, haven’t I been taking care of you? Why, you are 16 years old and suddenly feel like a man?” Mei smiled easily: “I thought you lived with me for so many years, You should have been looking forward to leaving me a long time ago, so that you can live a life where no one cares what time you go home."

Peter, who was exposed, was a little shy, "That's not it!"

Life seems to be back on track.

Tony Stark still can't speak normally, and he has been honestly staying at the Avengers headquarters this week.

He thought about the whole thing over and over again, and the only thing he wasn't sure about was Alicia's ability.

What kind of terrifying super power or divine power does Anan Ke have? He has already seen it. At least before that, Alicia has not shown any strength beyond the ability of mutants. Immortality and immortality are only passive abilities, and other abilities can also be discussed. Not too shocking.

So, how did Alicia defeat Ananke?

As soon as he regained some of his ability to speak, he went to visit Alicia at the temple.

Stephen Strange had of course thought about it, and was just as interested.

Alicia sat them down on the sofa in her small living room.

"The way you think about problems is a bit too limited." She flashed her clear eyes, "You only see Ananke's ability, but you don't think about Ananke's origin."

"Origin?" Strange was a little puzzled, "It is said that she came from the beginning of chaos in the world, and she was invisible."

Tony said slowly, "She said she was the 'origin', everything, eternity, past, present, and future."

"Sounds super powerful, doesn't it?" The corners of her lips curled up slightly, "The best form is intangible and intangible. If there is a body, there will be weakness."

"She said that you are her reincarnation. I thought that the reincarnated person's ability would not exceed the original body." Strange has also gnawed a lot of "reincarnation" theories of various civilizations and religions these days.

"Ah, that's because I'm not her reincarnation."

"What does that mean?" Tony was confused.

"I may be the reincarnation of some greater god, but certainly not Ananke. Ananke is most likely an incarnation of me."

Tony was even more confused, "You mean, there's still a chance you're 'not human'?"

"I'm definitely not 'mortal', you already know that. As for 'what' I am, I have a little direction now, and when I can be more certain, maybe I will leave here."

"Leave? What do you mean?" Strange asked.

"Leave Earth."

Tony was completely dazzled by the possibility that Alicia might be an alien.

Actually, it shouldn't be surprising.

Thor is the alien, and his brother Loki.

Aliens may not necessarily be scary, but most likely they will be similar to humans on Earth, with limbs, a head, and gender.

Strange walks away, leaving him alone with Alicia.

He touched his throat: it still hurts, and being unable to speak for several days has suffocated him.

"Does it still hurt?" She asked softly.

He nodded.

"It should be all healed in a few days. My blood doesn't seem to make your injury heal any faster."

"If I really died without drinking your blood, what would you do?" She still said slowly.

"I should revive you." She shrugged. "Ananke's appearance is partly due to my relationship. I should be responsible for you and revive you."

She revised the timeline again, and all the dead people came back to life, and it was not a problem at all to resurrect one more person.

"Do you feel...do you feel that you have changed?"

"A little bit. I now remember Ananke's experience, or rather, I merged her memory."

"Is she still alive?"

"Dead. She dared to kill you, how could I spare her. She is willful and cruel, she is not cute enough."

"She's not you, and I won't be dissatisfied with you because of what she did."

She laughed loudly, "I'm so scared as you said!"

It's an irony, but it can still be heard.

Tony shyly said, "I said the wrong thing."

"I'll take you back." She opened the portal casually and let him return to Fulian Building.

It doesn't take an almighty Tony Stark to change your ID.

Eric Lanshel did it himself, bringing Alicia the new paperwork and birth certificate.

"I thought you'd just grow up to be 18."

"Then it grows too fast. It's very convenient to be 16 years old. You can get a driver's license without being treated as a child." She put away the documents.

"Do you want to test your driver's license?"

She nodded, "Take the exam with Peter next week."

"That boy." Eric still thought Peter was just a brat.

"I like him very much, he is very cute."

"Pietro is cute too."

"Well, Pietro is cute too. Has he been fighting with you lately?"

Eric shrugged indifferently, "Adolescent boys are quite awkward." As for why Pietro got into trouble with him, she didn't need to tell her.A boy is a boy after all, reckless and innocent, Pietro is like that, and so is that Peter.He never even considered the boys a threat.

"Where is he now?"

"Probably went to Europe. Wanda and Lorna are also in Europe." He sent all the children to Europe for vacation. "Have passed the driver's license test, can I go to Lake Ontario?"

She thought for a moment, "Okay, I could go for a week. I might go with Peter."

Eric was very happy at first, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he felt a little helpless, "I just want to invite you to go."

"But I want to be with Peter." She was very righteous and had nothing to say.

He changed his mind and thought: What is this?Am I still worried about a boy with no hair at all?

"Well, if you want. I'm leaving New York tomorrow. You can come over anytime. If I'm not at home, you can go in." He knew she could go where she wanted, and magicians really could. unreasonable.

Peter Parker with super fast response and excellent memory and Alicia who is "not human" passed the written test and the road test smoothly.After the road test, the two went to the movies again.

When he was with Alicia, he basically didn't hear any police radio reports.At first he wondered, are the villains so sensible that they don't make trouble when he's dating?It was only later that he suddenly realized that it was not the bad guys who suspended their business, but that he was blocked.

He has been wondering if he should tell her, don't block it, what if there is a major event that is life-threatening?

He carefully changed direction and discussed "vigilante" with her.
