[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

When Kelly strode into the LAPD, there was already a middle-aged officer waiting for her.

"Take me to see Susan's body." Kelly said as soon as they met.

As the police officer led her into the police station, he quickly gave her a brief account of the case—Susan died of penetrating injuries to her heart and vital organs.That morning, a huge billboard was blown off by strong winds, hitting passers-by below.However, in the process of falling to the ground and rolling, it suddenly exploded from it inexplicably. The explosion was so powerful that 80% of the billboard was blown into extremely fine fragments, and even disappeared; but the steel bars at the corners were also destroyed. It exploded and flew around.Susan, who was passing by to work, swiftly threw her body away from a mother pushing a baby carriage, but she was pierced by iron bars and died on the spot.It took only three or four hours for the incident to happen, Peggy to receive the news, notify Kelly, and then Kelly to come over.There were not many people present at the time, only Susan, a young mother pushing a baby carriage, an office worker standing across the road, and two elementary school students.Except for the mother who had to take care of the child and left early, everyone else stayed at the police station to make statements.

After the police officer introduced the situation, they had already entered the forensic room. Kelly lifted the white cloth covering Susan's body, exposing her head.Susan's expression did not appear panic or pain, but revealed a very calm and serene expression.She stretched out her hand and pressed it against Susan's forehead, then withdrew her hand after a moment and let out a sigh of relief.

She felt the familiar magic of Narnia.Susan has returned to Narnia.

"Does the testimony of the witnesses match the situation at the time?" Kelly turned and walked out, asking the police officer beside her, "What happened to the sudden explosion of the billboard?"

"We are also investigating. We did not find any traces of explosives or explosive devices at the scene. The billboard was erected independently, not close to any buildings, and it would make no sense to install a bomb on it." The police officer was also very confused. "However, to be honest, it's fortunate that it exploded. According to our restoration of the scene, if it hadn't exploded, Miss Pevensie would still have escaped, and the two children would have to be picked up. Jie, who was standing across the road at the time, Mr. Nee offered a theory...but it was absurd."

"What is it?" Kelly asked.

"He insisted that one of the two children suddenly had a red ring around his body, and then he launched the ring and hit the billboard, and the billboard exploded," the officer said. To her, "Ms. Cosmo, you are familiar with magic, is this possible?"

"It doesn't sound...reliable." Kelly said slowly, "Let me talk to some of them, are they still there?"

"This way." The police officer opened the door for her.

Kelly first talked to Mr. Jenny, who was passing by at work, and his account was indistinguishable from that of the police officer, so she stayed only a short time.When she pushed the door out of the small cubicle, she saw a pair of parents and a man welcoming two little boys who seemed to be only about ten years old.

"That's the two children, Alex Summers and Jerry Walter." The police officer introduced to her from the side, "The child who was identified as emitting a red halo is Alex Summers. "

Kelly stared at Alex in silence for a moment, then looked away. "You don't really believe that a ten-year-old like that can blow up a large billboard the height of two people with his bare hands, sir?" She smiled at the officer, "I mean, I can't do this with my bare hands It is possible that such a child..."

"Of course not, I'm just asking casually." The police officer smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Jenny must be dazzled..."

"Before I came to the police station, I went to the scene to check." Kelly said, "The accident happened in the morning when the sun had just risen. The surface of the advertising board is very smooth. If the angle is just right, it will reflect the red sunlight of the morning sun. It's not impossible... As for the explosion, I'm sorry, I have no idea. But I have sensed the magic power situation at the scene, there is no magic power fluctuation, and there is no gunpowder residue, these two aspects can be ruled out. As for the follow-up work, just I leave it to you."

She knew well that the police station was also very disgusted with the random dispatch of someone from above to interfere with their work, so she made it clear before she came that she was just having an affair with Susan, and she came to find out the situation and would not intervene in the accident investigation.Now, the body has been seen and the witnesses have questioned her. The police officer politely sent her out of the gate of the police station. The two children also went out with their parents and walked in two different directions. go.Kelly raised her hand and turned into a dragonfly to follow Alex Summers and his father, while she quietly followed the Walters and their son.She stopped them after they walked a few intersections.

"Excuse me, I'm a friend of Susan Pevensie," she said politely, "may I have a private chat with your children?"

Under the effect of the confusion spell, the Walters readily agreed.Kelly led Jerry Walter aside and asked him in a low voice, "What did you see, right? It's just that you think it's too scary and no adults will believe you, so you don't want to say it, right?"

The little boy stared at her half vigilantly, half hesitantly, and Kelly smiled softly, staring straight into his eyes: "Forget it."

It's for his own good.On the one hand, mutants are not yet recognized by the society, and he will only be ridiculed if he really says this; more importantly, there are also very dangerous and evil people among mutants, such as Sebastian Shaw and his men.If they found out that Walter had contact with mutants and came to his door, it would definitely bring great trouble to this ordinary family.She took Walter back to her parents, said goodbye to them, and left.

The Summers family lived three blocks away, and when Kelly approached the door, she saw a car parked in the garage: father and son had arrived home.She raised her hand and knocked on the door. After a while, Mr. Summers came to answer the door: "What's the matter, ma'am?"

"My name is Kelly Cosmo. If you don't remember this name, I am the only magician in the United States who has disclosed my identity." Kelly said with a smile, "Can I talk to your son, Sarah Mister Murth?"

"I know who you are, but I don't think my son has anything in common with you, ma'am," Mr. Summers said.Judging from his words and temperament, he undoubtedly had a very good upbringing, but he kept blocking the door with his body. This kind of behavior was almost rude to him.

"I think, in terms of ability, I may have more common language with him than you and him." Kelly said calmly, "I have no malice, but you can't solve this by yourself, sir."

Mr. Summers stared at her for a long time, perhaps because of the reports of her during World War II and Captain America's praise of her, and finally he silently turned sideways and motioned for Kelly to enter the room.The room was not big, and the living room was just outside the door. Alex Summers was sitting on the sofa, staring at her with his lips tightly pursed.

Kelly briefly introduced the conversation between the police officer and her for the father and son: "I don't think they will suspect Alex for a while, but to be honest, even I can't think of a reasonable reason to explain the billboard. Why would it suddenly explode by itself, unless I come forward and take the blame. When they are at the end of their rope, they will have nowhere to go, and if there are one or two policemen with extraordinarily rich imaginations who become suspicious of you, it will be more troublesome. So, I need someone I trust to take over the investigation of this accident. So, I'm afraid I have to take Alex away for a while. After all, a person with superpowers like him is still unheard of in society." She said to Alex Max smiled reassuringly, "But trust me, he's not the only one."

"Where are you taking my son? Whom are you going to see?" Mr. Summers asked.

"Go to my house, meet my husband and daughter, and Captain America and his wife," Kelly said. "If you don't trust me, you can at least trust Captain America, right?"

Over the years, she has felt more than once what kind of gold-lettered signboard Captain America is.Although after World War II, the country gradually slowed down the propaganda of Steve, but the media's love for him did not decline much, and the trust of the American people in him did not weaken in the slightest.Kelly turned to Alex and asked, "Would you like to go?"

Alex looked at her suspiciously: "Why do I have to go with you?"

A quarter of an hour later, with a soft snap, Kelly and Alex appeared at the door of Kelly's house.Alex clung to her hand tightly, panting for a long time.Kelly opened the door, and Bucky's voice came from inside: "Any guests today, Kelly?"

"There's a visitor," Kelly said, and with a wave of her wand, the silver stag Patronus ran up the stairs to find the two children.Alex looked at the back of the patron saint running away in surprise: "What is that?!"

"Can he see the Patronus?" Bucky asked in surprise.

"You can see the Patronus." Kelly sighed, pulling him through the door and sitting down on the sofa. "This is my husband, Bucky Barnes. Bucky, this is Alex." Summers, a 10-year-old little mutant."

Bucky gave a clear ah, and Alex asked, "Mutant?"

"People like you, who have one or several fixed abilities that are different from ordinary people." When Kelly explained, two seven or eight-year-old girls ran from the corridor on the second floor to the stairs, and jumped over the balustrade on the second floor. Bar, jumped down directly.Alex screamed and bounced off the sofa, but Bucky and Kelly sat calmly, not showing the slightest surprise.Under Alex's shocked gaze, the two little girls fell to the ground lightly like petals, and the skirts were blown into round flowers by the air, and then fell down again.

"I told you, don't do this when you have guests." Kelly reprimanded gently.

"I'm sorry, Mom." Roxie said obediently, "but he's no ordinary guest."

Elizabeth followed, nodding vigorously and winking at Alex.Kelly smiled helplessly and introduced them to Alex.After the three children shook hands and greeted each other, she asked, "Alex, didn't you ask me why I had to bring you here?"

"Answer me when you talk." Alex said suspiciously.

"I'll answer you now," Kelly said. "I want you to meet my oldest daughter, Roxie."

She put her arms around Roxie, and the sweet-looking little girl leaned against her mother, tilting her head and smiling at Alex.Kelly continued: "They are twins. Elizabeth has shown extraordinary magical talent since she was born, but Roxie has not shown any special performance for a long time. This is very rare. We thought her magic was just showing a little bit. It's too late. However, it wasn't until half a year ago, when Roxie's talent was finally revealed, that we discovered..."

She looked at Alex. "She's just like you. My daughter is a mutant too."
