[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

Traveling through space also has detailed regulations on childbirth, which are included in the various rules Kelly learned on the first day of her rebirth: which world the child was born in, even if it belongs to which world, it will always stay in that world in the future.If the traveler wants to take his child to other worlds, he still needs to occupy the only carrying quota and pay corresponding points.If you travel to other worlds during pregnancy, you don't need to occupy the quota, but you need to pay an additional 100 points for the fetus.If the child was born in the time-traveling space—Kelly couldn’t help but secretly complain about how many strange things have happened since the time-traveling experiment of the X family started—the last world just left shall prevail.

But in short, this provision solved her worries about having children.As for traveling to other worlds every ten years, Kelly can choose to return the next second after leaving, so as long as she pays a little more points, it is no problem at all with her current point accumulation.And it all came down to it—she and Bucky both just happened to want to have a baby.

Peggy and Steve's eldest son was named Christopher Rogers, in honor of Steve's maternal grandfather.Chris Jr.'s physical examination was normal and he was very healthy, but he didn't show extraordinary physical fitness and recovery ability as scientists had expected.It seems that the effect caused by the serum can be inherited, but the traits shown in the offspring are greatly weakened, and degeneration has appeared. According to this ratio, it is roughly estimated that only three generations are needed, and the physical fitness of the offspring will be the same as that of ordinary people. It will be more resistant to disease and does not carry any potential disease-causing genes.Therefore, the hidden danger in this regard was finally ruled out.In March of that year, Kelly became pregnant.

Despite having Peggy, her pregnancy caused a small stir—Kelly was unexpectedly pregnant with twin sisters.On January 1 of the following year, she successfully gave birth to two daughters in the hospital.

"I was ordered to convey the request of my mother and sisters not to be named after Winifred." Bucky sat in front of the hospital bed with their eldest daughter in his arms. "I have three younger sisters. In the future, they will all marry and have children. Use this name to commemorate my mother-four or five Winifred in the family, and once the family gets together, you can think about it."

"Okay, no need." Kelly hugged her sister and giggled, "Stephanie."

"Okay." Bucky laughed. "Just let Steve be her godfather. What about the middle name? You can remember the friends you knew before, and McGonagall and Elphinstone."

"Stephanie Roxanne Barnes." Kelly nodded her eldest daughter, and then pointed to her younger daughter lying in her arms: "Elizabeth Minerva Cosmo. How is it?"

"Elizabeth?"

"My mother's name," Kelly said.She rarely talked about her life before her rebirth, and almost never said anything, but Bucky understood immediately that it was her biological mother.He nodded: "Okay. Do the two children have different last names? We discussed this issue before, and I have no problem, but when they grow up...?"

"If they grow up and are not satisfied with their names, I have no problem letting Liz and Roxie change them by themselves." Kelly smiled, "But I'm more worried than the name... Roxie really doesn't like it. Can it do magic?"

She was referring to the eldest daughter Bucky was holding.Kelly's own magical power and spiritual power are amazing, and her youngest daughter Elizabeth also showed a strong magical talent from birth. Fortunately, her magic seems relatively harmless, limited to changing the color of the blanket or hanging by the bed. Little toy, there was never such a thing as accidentally turning Steve's hair green.But the eldest daughter, Stephanie, has never shown any magical reaction. Except for her better physical fitness, she looks exactly the same as an ordinary baby who does not have magic.

It stands to reason that when wizards marry ordinary people, the chances of their children inheriting magical abilities are very, very high. There are no relevant statistics in the wizarding world, but from what Kelly has heard and witnessed in Harry Potter over the years, one of the parents With magic, children can enter Hogwarts almost without exception.Of course, there are also people like Neville, whose magical ability does not begin to appear until a very late age, so although Kelly and Bucky are a little troubled, they don't take it too seriously.

Three years later.

"Roxie! Liz is here, are you dressed yet?" Bucky yelled as he brought out two small bowls of cereal.

"Alright~" came a childish voice.Then Kelly carried a little girl with soft brown curly hair into the kitchen and placed her in the toddler seat next to another little girl who was already sitting.The two little girls are almost identical in appearance, and there is no difference at all from the appearance. They can only be distinguished from the clothes: Roxie, who was just carried in, wearing a light green dress, is her older sister, and people close to her all know her as her sister. Roxie called her by her middle name—so as not to confuse it with Steve.And Elizabeth, who is wearing a bright red suspender dress, is the younger sister.

"Would you take them to check today?" Kelly hurriedly put Roxie down, straightened up, and said goodbye to Bucky, "I'm going to the company—there's an interview this morning."

"Now, you still have to pick people yourself?" Bucky asked with a smile.

"The people in the R&D department are always selected by Albert and I." Kelly kissed the two daughters, then lightly kissed Bucky on the lips, "Say hello to Howard for me, dear. "

Apparation has saved her a lot of time spent on the road, but despite this, it is not an easy task to take care of two children at the same time and take care of work at the same time.When Kelly arrived at the company, the interview was about to start. She didn't even have time to glance at the list. Just as she strode into the interview room with a stack of resumes and sat down, it was already the scheduled time.

"Busy morning?" Albert, who was sitting next to her, asked her with a smile, "Little Liz is naughty again?"

He has always known the two children very well.Kelly shook her head while flipping through her resume: "It's not her today. Roxie accidentally poured milk on her clothes—" As she was speaking, the first interviewer had already entered, so she interrupted the sentence talk.

Now it is 1949, Erskine Company is already quite famous, and its scale has expanded by an unknown amount compared with four years ago.Now, once the company recruits, applicants are still flocking to them, but it is completely different from when the company was first established. The number of opportunists has been greatly reduced. After a round of preliminary examinations, there are as many as dozens of excellent talents screened out. , and this time the company only recruited three researchers.

The applicants came in and out one by one. When Kelly entered the sixth one, she was lowering her head and sorting out her notes. Elbert beside her suddenly laughed, "Are you full, young man? We don't employ child labor here. "

"No, but we made an exception and left his resume..." the personnel manager explained.Kelly looked up at the young man with a tense face on the opposite side—or maybe he could only be called a teenager—and suddenly felt a little familiar. She looked down at the resume in front of her and immediately understood where the familiarity came from. Come, I was so surprised that I didn't hear the second half of the HR manager's words.

The name on the resume reads impressively: Hank McCoy.The following list is very dazzling achievements: various science awards since childhood, biology genius who graduated from Harvard University at the age of 15.But Kelly knew something more important he didn't list: he was a mutant.In the X-Men series, he was one of the first mutants recruited by the young Professor X, and has since been an important combat and scientific research force of the Xavier mutant school.

She took a brief walk of God's work, and several others had already posed a few questions to recent graduate Hank McCoy.Although the young man is so nervous that he stutters, his professional skills are still evident. Especially graduating from Harvard at the age of 15 has proved his genius and hard work. Even if there are things he doesn’t understand, he can continue to cultivate in the future. Kelly I glanced to the left and right, and saw that everyone had written good comments in their notes.She thought for a while and asked, "Why did you choose to come to Erskine Company? What attracts you here?"

"I have always heard that there is no discrimination here. I mean, no matter who you are, as long as you have the ability, you can get equal respect here. I think, uh, this culture of equality has attracted me. "

Kelly nodded: "Indeed. Many people in our company, to be honest, including myself, have suffered unfair treatment in many places, so we are determined not to impose this kind of unfairness on our company employees. However, As a talented teenager with such impressive achievements, it is hard to imagine where you will hit a wall."

Hank licked his lips nervously: "Yes, no, no, I mean, everyone hits a wall somewhere. Sometimes, you... you just, need to hide yourself to get along well with other people. I don't think that means you're not being discriminated against."

Kelly felt that other people had already cast doubtful eyes on her. After all, these questions had nothing to do with the job content, and Kelly never asked these irrelevant questions in recruitment.Seeing that the 15-year-old boy in front of her was so nervous that she was about to cry, she decided not to continue to put pressure on him: "Okay, then, I hope that in the company, you don't have to hide it anymore, but can show your unique talent. "

Hank showed a bit of bitterness, probably thinking that she didn't know what he was talking about, but he didn't know either, Kelly knew very well that she was referring to his mutant ability.She closed the document in her hand: "Given your age, there may be certain problems in signing the contract. Therefore, before you enter the job, you must first discuss the revision of the contract terms with the legal counsel. Come to my office at [-] o'clock this afternoon, there is a problem ?"

Hank froze for a moment before jumping up in a hurry: "No, no! Thank you!"

He bowed in a panic, and almost tripped over the chair before leaving.Albert approached her and asked, "What do you like about that child?"

"You are also very optimistic about that child, aren't you?" Kelly asked with a smile.

"Oh come on, Kelly, don't play dumb with me."

"It's a bit complicated to say." Kelly laughed, "I don't have time to go into details now, but you will know later." She pointed to the door, and interviewer No. [-] had already entered.
