[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

"Oh, well, you're—Miss Weasley?"

"My name is Kelly Cosmo," Kelly said, casting a glance at Bill, who put on an innocent look, with a look on his face that clearly said "it's not my responsibility."

"Well, Miss Cosmo. I hope you can give me a little stronger evidence to convince me why you think Germany is capable of starting a world war." Howard said.He sat idly behind his desk, but Kelly could sense his intense concentration.

She and Bill discussed the whole night yesterday, and the result was to expose their magic as little as possible-Stark already knew that they had the ability to teleport, that is, Apparition, but more magic did not need to be exposed up.Howard Stark's character, the two of them have already understood through the information given through the space, but after all, he is still cooperating with the government.

"Has Bill convinced you that we gave you the Rubik's Cube?" Kelly asked back.

"I'll just believe it," Howard said, "until I find evidence to the contrary."

"Good luck." Kelly said lightly, "As for Germany starting a world war, I don't need to convince you. The Germans lived a very miserable life after World War I. They need a war, and this country needs a revenge." , a turnaround, this is unstoppable, and the Nazi Party just has the ability and ambition to turn the sullen mood in the hearts of the people into a war. In one year, no more than two years, the war will definitely start, and you will know when the time comes Yes, it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it now. And when the time comes, Mr. Stark, when you see their genocide—you don’t need me and Bill to convince you, you will find a way to provide assistance.”

"If you can't even -- well, don't want to convince me of your arguments about war," Stark said, "why would you make me risk the diplomatic ire of a government by kidnapping a German scientist?"

"Number one, he's been kidnapped and we want to get him out," Bill said. "Second, soon you won't have to worry about 'diplomatic risk' anymore."

"Third, you will be interested in his research, just as you are interested in our teleportation ability." Kelly said, Howard's expression hardly changed, but his body leaned forward slightly, Kelly Captured, "The research content, you should have heard the introduction from Bill and his wife, I don't believe you are not interested."

"If I hadn't, Miss Cosmo, you wouldn't be standing here now," Howard said, "but how do I know this research is worth the risk? You know, the serum, as they describe it, It is not a product that can be produced by current science at all, and I am not so ignorant of biotechnology."

"The Rubik's Cube you are studying is not a product that can be produced by existing technology." Kelly shot back.

"If this is all the chips you can offer, I can only say sorry." Howard said lightly.Kelly took a deep breath.

"What if we help you research teleportation magic?" she asked.

When Kelly came home, a note was left at the door, and Steve invited her and Bill over for dinner.As soon as the doorbell rang, Steve opened the door for her from the inside, with a serious and apologetic expression on his face.

"I'm sorry, Kelly. Bucky told me," he said as soon as he opened his mouth.

"...What?" Kelly was taken aback, "What do you need to apologize for?"

"I should have found out—I should have explained to Bucky that you and I are not—" Steve's ears were slightly red, "I'm sorry to have misunderstood you for so long—"

"Don't tell me you didn't beat him up after you knew about it."

"I definitely have. I can't remember the last time I was this mad at him."

"Then you have absolutely nothing to apologize for." Kelly smiled and patted him on the arm, "We're both the stupidest fools in the world, and you're just an innocent sandwich—come on , neither of us is secretly in love with you, and we haven't noticed the misunderstanding, how could you find out? It's not your fault at all, Steve."

"I should have found out," Steve insisted. "I should have found out since Bucky asked me to invite you to prom. It's the same as matching me with the girl he introduced before, and after I was 'with you' he never introduced a girl to me again, I thought it was just that he finally gave up on this plan..."

"That's why he was stupid enough to have this misunderstanding," Kelly said. "Come on, how could this be your fault, Steve?"

Steve shook his head: "Onlookers are clear, I didn't participate in your secret love, I should have discovered it earlier."

Knowing all too well how stubborn he can be, Kelly sighed and gave up on persuasion: "...well, well. Did Mrs. Rogers make jam pies today?"

"Today's dessert is apple pie," Steve said, and Kelly let out a little exaggerated cheer, which managed to get Steve to finally smile.

After dinner, she left Steve's house, but instead of going home, she apparated on a street corner and went directly to Howard Stark's desk.Unfortunately, Howard was not in the office, so he failed to achieve the effect of scaring him on the spot, but when he opened the door a few minutes later and saw Kelly, he was still very surprised.

"Can your ability teleport anywhere?" He quickly recovered and asked eagerly, "What's the limit?"

"You can only go to places I remember clearly, not places I don't know." Kelly said, "Have you found the information you need? So fast."

"The advantage of cooperating with the government is that you can ask people from the Secret Service for help." Howard said, spreading out a stack of documents on the table, "They don't have much information about John Schmidt, all the relevant information is here .”

"Thank you." Kelly said, picked up a copy and quickly flipped through it. Her current intelligence is not yet able to read ten lines at a glance and remember with a photographic memory at the same time, but her reading speed is much faster than ordinary people.She suspected that it was her IQ that made fellow genius Howard look up to her a little, but of course, she didn't ask him to prove it.

"Actually, their 'not much' is only a little bit more than 'not at all'." After flipping through the three documents, Kelly said, she pursed her lips: "I think I still need to do it myself. one trip."

Howard raised his eyebrows disapprovingly: "I don't intend to offend, but if you think you can find a secret base that professional agents can't find, let alone break into it to save people—"

"I'll try." Kelly said, "The saving part is not worth mentioning, you forgot my ability. As for the previous part - if there is danger, can I expect someone to respond?"

Howard sized her up, "If you insist on dying, then please go ahead, miss. To be honest, I think it's a pity that a beautiful girl like you died, but we haven't reached the point where I can lock you up and calm down It’s about a moment.” He paused, “I will try my best. But it may take some time to convince them.”

"That's enough, I need a day or two to prepare." Kelly said, she couldn't help but think of Bucky - she ran out of the ballroom, Apparated, and Bucky had a big fight and kissed with wet tears, It was all just the night before.But it seems like a long time has passed.

If this had happened two days earlier, or even a day earlier, if she had known at the prom that she might soon have to do something so close to death, maybe she and Bucky would have truly missed it forever.Kelly didn't know if that was a good thing.

"Dr. Erskine's a big name, and I think the Secret Service was looking at him," Howard said. "Don't be in such a hurry, girl."

"Thank you." Kelly returned him a not-so-sincere smile.

A day is not that long.Kelly skipped another day of class—her Russian was good enough to skip class anyway—and made all sorts of preparations.She chatted with Bill all night, but in the end she couldn't persuade him not to go with her.The next morning, she called both Bucky and Steve to her house and cast at least ten protective and warning spells around the area.

"I know you said you wouldn't talk to Bucky for a week," she said ahead of the other two, "but today's thing is an exception. This is very important-you can choose to turn around and leave at any time after listening, Don't talk to me anymore, but don't interrupt until then, listen to me, okay?"

The two people on the opposite side looked at each other, and Kelly could see that they were a little intimidated by herself-she hadn't said that when she used magic in front of Bucky for the first time.I don't know what message the two exchanged with their eyes, but after a few seconds Bucky turned to her: "I can't imagine anything that would make me never see you again." He said softly, "But okay, we I'll hear you out."

Steve nodded beside him without speaking, and Kelly smiled at them.Maybe she was going to die at the gunpoint of the Nazis in a few hours, but meeting the two of them in this world was very rewarding.

If the two of them are not angry, Kelly decides that no matter when she dies, she will return to this world in the future.

"I said I came from a completely different universe, a magical world," she said, "Actually, I'm not really from that magical world..."

She told them in as much detail as possible that she traveled through different universes and could only stay for ten years, but she might be able to return in the future, without involving the time-traveling experiment of the X family, until she entered this world. After a pause, the two people on the opposite side exchanged glances again.

"But, Kelly, we all know what you said." Steve said carefully, "Although not in that detail, we did always think that you were from the wizarding world-but we wouldn't be born because of these things. You're angry."

"Maybe I'm surprised that you're leaving in a few years," Bucky shrugged, "but you'll be back, won't you?"

"Yeah, so that's not the point," Kelly said, biting her lip unconsciously, "You—didn't you ask me what I was doing when I wasn't in middle school? I didn't answer all the time Pass?"

"So, what the hell are you doing?" Steve asked.

"I'm in Europe," Kelly said. "I'm in Europe doing the assassination."

"what?!"

"Until I was 18." Kelly said, and now that she really spoke out, her uneasy heart gradually settled down, "There are not many people, and some of you may have heard of names. Adolf Hitler, Arnim Zola , Hermann Göring, and Rudolf Hess, all by myself. I also assassinated Himmler, without success. And Mussolini, too, without success. Later, after a series of assassinations, their preservation It was too tight, with no inside or intelligence assistance, so I had to give up."

"But why?!" Bucky asked in shock.

"I can see the future," Kelly said. "Believe it or not, I can see what the future would look like without me—Hitler would remain the head of Germany, and then he would start World War II. Germany first Invade Poland, then Britain and France, and Japan and Italy will join them, and the Nazis will occupy almost half the world. If he lived, WWII would start in 1939, and then the United States would be involved in the war in 1941. This war killed 7000 million people died. If I kill him to make the war start later and end sooner - I think I can try it. And Zola, Goering, Hess are all, they are the leaders of the Nazi party, If you survive, you will become a murderous executioner. I know, I have to try."

"But you can't—I mean, what if your predictions are wrong?!" Steve asked.

"I know it's true, because it's happened in other worlds. In my original world, in that magical world, Hitler started World War II. This has been proven. But it doesn't matter if you don't believe it, I know this It's hard to believe. What I really want to tell you is that I'm going to Germany again this afternoon, this time not to kill, but to save someone. But it's still heavily guarded. I hope I can make it - if not, I think you should at least Hear the explanation from me." Kelly looked at Bucky, breathing slightly trembling, "I'm sorry, Bucky, I really didn't know before——If I knew that I was going to do such a dangerous thing soon, I would I won't confess to you."

"Then I'm glad you don't know." Bucky blurted out, "I can go with you."

"No." Kelly said immediately, "You can't go."

"Why? You're going to save people, and the whole of the US Intelligence Agency is sitting around letting you, a girl who's not even from this world, go through fire and water—?"

"It's just... no. No, it's not negotiable." Kelly said, Bucky's anger made her feel warm, but she didn't want him to take the risk with him: her own death was just another world, Bucky is really dead when he's dead. "I can Apparate back, they can't, of course it's better for me to go. —Stop talking, don't shake my resolve, Bucky."

"Okay," Bucky said, leaning forward, his brows furrowed, a determined expression on his face, "Then I'll wait for you to come back."
