[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

It was already late when Kelly entered the ward.The patients in the other beds were all asleep, and nearly half of the beds were empty.Steve's hospital bed was in the corner by the window, and Bucky sat next to him, holding his hand in one hand, watching Steve's breathing with almost trepidation.

"Hi, Bucky," Kelly said softly.

Bucky almost jumped out of his chair: "Oh, Kelly! God, I'm so sorry, I totally forgot—"

"It's okay," Kelly waved her hand and stood beside him, "What's the matter with Steve?"

"A bunch of bastards threw his schoolbag in the sink on Friday," Bucky said darkly.

"Oh, no." Kelly groaned and immediately guessed what was going to happen next.

"Yeah." Bucky said with a sullen face, "This idiot really went into the water to pick it up."

It's late autumn now, and with Steve's body, it's no wonder he didn't catch a cold and have a fever as he walked home dripping with water. "Is it serious?" Kelly asked.

"He was brought in with pneumonia and an asthma attack, and it took a long time to keep him alive," Bucky said, clenching a fist with one hand on his knee. "Nurse said no now. Yes, but he'll get through it."

"Yes, Steve never gives up." Kelly reassured him.But she herself wasn't entirely convinced: Steve's breathing was so shallow, barely audible, and erratic.Most of the time, the sound of his breathing could not cover the murmurs from his lungs, and sometimes he would cough suddenly, as if he was about to cough out the last breath in his lungs. Even though Kelly had already asked the nurse about his condition , still couldn't help worrying that any cough of his would bring out a mouthful of blood.But after sitting for 2 minutes, she was already worried, afraid that Steve would swallow his last breath in front of her at any moment.

"You just stayed here with him for two days?" After sitting for a quarter of an hour, Kelly couldn't help asking, "How can you bear this... for two days?!"

"What else can I do?" Bucky smiled wryly. "Can you get out now, Kelly?"

"...No." Kelly could only admit.At this moment, the door slammed, and the bedside nurse came in.She checked the beds one by one, and finally stopped in front of Steve's bed, leaned over to check his condition, looked at the readings on the instruments beside the bed, and wrote down a few notes in the notebook.

"What about him?" Bucky asked eagerly.The nurse didn't answer, she patted him on the shoulder, gave him a sympathetic look, and walked out of the room.

Bucky's shoulders slumped.Kelly pursed her lips.

"When's the next time someone comes in?" she whispered to Bucky. "When's his mom coming? When's the nurse coming?"

Bucky looked at her suspiciously, "No one will come for a few hours, and his mother won't come until twelve o'clock, and then I will sleep in the next bed." He gestured to the bed next to him, "Why are you Ask this?"

"Listen," Kelly said, taking a deep breath and making up her mind, "if there's something I can do to help Steve get better, can you promise you won't tell anyone?"

"Of course," Bucky said.

"Anyone, including your mother, and Steve's mother," Kelly whispered, her heart clenched. "And, can you promise you won't be afraid of me?"

"Of course, I swear," Bucky said, as easily as a casual lie, but his slightly tired face was so sincere, "I won't be afraid of you if you do anything. Unless, you don't want Barter his soul with the devil?"

"No." Kelly smiled slightly, and pulled out her wand from her sleeve, "There is no devil, but I am indeed a witch."

She raised her wand and drew a large circle in the air: "Blinding the invisible!"

A magical barrier wrapped around Steve's hospital bed, even if other patients in the ward woke up, they would not notice anything unusual.Bucky stared at her with wide eyes in surprise, Kelly didn't look at his expression again, a white light shot into Steve's chest.

She frowned tightly, the sickness returned by the spell was almost everywhere, if the problematic places were to be marked red like a special effect in a movie, Steve's whole body would now be like a huge red light bulb.Fortunately, Kelly had asked about her condition before, so she didn't bother to pick the key points among the many problems.She raised the wand, fever, asthma relief, arrhythmia, then inflammation of the lungs, respiratory system, stomach ulcers, anemia, blah blah blah.

Charms are mostly used for emergency treatment, and many chronic diseases can only be completely cured by using potions.But Kelly still spent more than 20 spells to heal the part that can be cured.When she finally put down her wand, she felt as exhausted as if she had passed a St. Mungo's paramedic exam, but Steve's breathing had finally stabilized, and the noise in his lungs had stopped.The reduction in fever caused by the spell was only temporary, but Kelly could do the spell every once in a while until his physical condition was completely stabilized.

"So," she turned and shrugged at Bucky, "that's it."

Bucky opened his mouth slightly and looked at her with a look she couldn't describe.

"Kelly, you're a miracle," he murmurs, almost in awe.

Kelly didn't expect him to say such a sentence, and was a little caught off guard: "I'm just a witch."

"No, you're a miracle." Bucky stood up abruptly. "Can I give you a hug, please? It's just...you don't know how much it means to me, Kelly. And to Steve."

"I can imagine," Kelly said, still clutching her wand, and hugged Bucky lightly, a little awkwardly.

"So, you're a witch." After a moment, when the mood calmed down a bit, Bucky asked, "Can you cure Steve? You know, make him as healthy as everyone else?"

"That requires potions, and I can't do it, because even if I would, the world can't find the corresponding materials." Kelly said, "Sorry, but the magic spell is only for emergency use-it can heal trauma, can Relieves symptoms, but does not completely eliminate these long-term diseases."

Bucky didn't see much disappointment, he nodded, "I guess that's good enough now. To be honest, I never thought witches really existed—I mean, I stopped believing after I was ten, I thought those were all fairy tales."

"Not all the fairy tales you hear exist, at least there is no Santa Claus in the wizarding world." Kelly said, "But wizards and magic do exist, although they may not be quite the same as the descriptions in the stories."

"Then Bill is a wizard too," Bucky said.

Kelly hesitated for a moment, after all, she was not very qualified to reveal her identity for Bill, but Bucky's tone was so sure, she felt that there was no point in covering up, "Yes, Bill is too. But there may only be the two of us in this world." A wizard."

"Are the magical world and here two completely different worlds?"

"It's hard to explain specifically, but they are indeed two different worlds." Kelly said, she suddenly had an urge to tell Bucky a little more truth, "Bill and I are not actually siblings—we There is no blood relationship, just friends. I have the ability to travel between different worlds, it is more like a mission; and Bill just accompanied me here."

"...It's still hard to believe." After a moment of silence, Bucky said, "I'm still kind of looking forward to waking up at any time and discovering that everything is just a dream." He cast his eyes on Si, who was still asleep. Steve's face, "Did you say before that you can't tell anyone, including Steve?"

"He doesn't count," Kelly said. "Since it's all saved—did Mrs. Rogers have pneumonia too?"

Usually the condition of patients with pneumonia will gradually deteriorate as the weather turns cold, but Steve and his mother's condition gradually improved throughout the autumn. Sarah is almost fine.Everyone who knew them said it was God bless the good guys, and Bucky would wink quietly at Kelly every time he heard that, and Steve would give her a grateful smile.

The three of them got to know each other quickly after that - after sharing such a huge secret, it was hard not to develop a strong friendship.It's nice being friends with Bucky and Steve, and having two more people to share secrets with.But as the days shortened, so did Kelly's mood.

She couldn't wait any longer. Hitler was trying every means to gain support every day. In October, he announced that Germany would withdraw from the League of Nations. From the current point of view, he declared that his goal was peace, but after learning about the results of World War II , Although he doesn't know much about history, Kelly also knows that this is just another step towards the war.And for the whole half a year, Hitler's popular approval rating has also been continuously increasing, but as the German head of state, his security level is extremely high. Under normal circumstances, Kelly may not be able to approach him within ten meters, especially when she has no organization. , Without inside information, without response, if she and Bill wanted to assassinate, they could only wait for Hitler to give a public speech.

This opportunity did not wait long. At the end of December, Hitler gave a speech at Alexanderplatz, and Kelly and Bill transformed their faces by magic and squeezed into the crowd on the square.

They spread out, one left and one right, Kelly will strike first, no matter whether the blow is successful or not, she will immediately disapparate and leave, while Bill stays to observe the situation, and if necessary, make another death curse—Kelly Standing on the left side of the square, holding the wand tightly, it was already very cold in Germany in December, but her palms were full of sweat, and the wand kept slipping in her hand.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Hitler stepped onto the podium on time.Around Kelly, the crowd burst into cheers.Kelly had also heard his speech on the radio before, but the live speech was different after all. She had to admit that Hitler exuded the charm that could make people fanatic and attract people to join him when he gave a speech.His sonorous tone, powerful words, coupled with appropriate gestures, very effectively mobilized the atmosphere in the entire square.

Half an hour later, his speech set off a climax and was about to come to an end.The entire square cheered his words, with countless hands held aloft in saluting gestures or waving German flags.Kelly also raised her hand high, holding her wand tightly in her hand, aiming in Hitler's direction.

"Avada Kedavra!" she yelled, feeling a sweet taste in her mouth.

The green light broke through the sky, and Hitler on the podium fell to the ground.
