[Zhongyingmei] Who is my father?

"Why do you say that?"

Looking at the bulging ball in his arms, Joyce sighed silently, pulled him out of the quilt, and made the two people's eyes meet again: "What do you mean it really came true?"

Although he was directly dragged out, he still maintained a tense posture with his eyes closed, and the expression on his face was not so much unhappy as he was enduring some real pain. Zero let out a muffled 'hum', reached out to Joyce, and stuffed himself into Joyce's arms again.

As if awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, he hugged the puppet child on the bed in panic.

"You left me, and I lost you." He buried his face in Joyce's collar, and the hot air he exhaled brushed his neck between each sentence, making the other person move a little uncomfortable: "Stran Qi didn't lie to me. Thinking about it now, you have become different since you found that memory."

There was grievance and fear of being abandoned in the tone.Even if those things that happened in the future are not showing signs now, just experiencing it once is enough to make Zero unforgettable.Almost being strangled by this guy, Joyce rolled his eyes and listened to his intermittent narration mixed with accusations while coaxing him like a cat, and soon discovered that things were actually different from what he had imagined. Not far off.

In fact, no matter how Joyce arranges Doctor Strange overtly or secretly, he is a supreme mage who can know the past and the future, which he never doubted.Regardless of the purpose of his warning to Zero at that time, the Eye of Agamotto did make an accurate judgment, which is the only reason why Zero appears here now.

"I don't know exactly what you were thinking and what you were doing."

Looking at the bright stars dotting the night sky outside the window, Joyce heard his protagonist say in a low voice, with complicated and indiscernible emotions flowing in his eyes:

"Because of the problem of genetic collapse, you rarely asked me to come out at that time, even more so after you retrieved your memory... I only know that after you came back from Gotham, although you were still looking for Hydra's base everywhere as before, you didn't Then it is to find clues to the paternal genes, but to completely eliminate them."

Zero originally thought that the incident with number four gave the other party too much stimulation, and finally got tired of having such a time bomb in his life watching him at any time.But thinking about it now, that is clearly paving a way for myself to live a stable life.Joyce used all the resources he could use to drive out half of America's high claws, forged all the identities he needed for Zero, and stood upright under the sky of New York, not as a traitor who was hunted down or was killed. A wanted mercenary who gives his hands all he can.

He had prepared for his departure, arranged every detail so that his protagonist would not be overwhelmed by the sudden need to live alone in this world.Even if Zero does nothing, it is enough to spend his life peacefully and safely.

"Compared to me who abandoned you alone under the control of Hydra, you are indeed much more careful." With a self-deprecating smile, Zero's voice was full of loneliness: "Sometimes, I really feel that this is you Revenge. Take revenge on me for being irresponsible, arrange everything, and then...disappear from my life completely, so it's a satire on me."

Yes, disappear.

When Zero didn't expect it at all, his secondary personality completely disappeared from this body.It was as if he had never existed, not even a single word was left behind, and no matter how he called, there was no answer.Zero cannot accept this fact.He searched for Joyce's shadow in every place he went like crazy, even though he knew that the other party could not really exist in those corners, but he still longed to see the traces left by that person, even if it was just a little bit The phantom of him can also relieve the pain in his heart a little bit.

Almost by himself, he turned the entire dark world upside down.

Until one day, Doctor Strange found him with the Time Stone.With a long sigh in Zero's violent rage, he tells him that if he really wants Joyce again, he can use the power of the Eye of Agamotto to send him back to the past where none of this happened.

"However, you can't stop him from doing what he was supposed to do." Strange's eyes were full of unspeakable pity with the small wound on his cheek when the other party lost control.He has insight into fate, insight into the possibilities that have happened and have not happened in this world, and because of this, he knows what will happen to Zero if he is left alone.He got acquainted with them once, whether as a mage who guarded the world or as a friend, he didn't want to see Joyce's difficult choice, but he would push Zero to a dead end that could not be turned back.

"Nor can you reveal your identity or any future to him if he doesn't come forward to recognize you."

"Okay, I won't." With gloomy eyes tightly locked on the mage, Zero replied without any hesitation: "As long as I can see him again, I can do anything."

...Even if, even if it means watching him leave again.

"You will know what happened later." The power of the time gem allowed him to reverse time and stand in the past he had experienced again. Zero followed Joyce to board the cruise ship. Even though he knew that No. [-]'s muzzle could not pose any threat to the opponent, he still couldn't help but shoot.Then, it got out of hand.

Compared with Joyce's hair, which is too long, it hangs softly on his neck, as if feeling every bit of warmth for their owner. Zero raised his head, his eyes were red like Joyce's, with the grievance and reluctance of being abandoned, he looked straight into his also complicated pupils: "Will you still want me?"

"..." Joyce was silent for a long time, hearing the unconcealable panic in his words.

"I've never wanted you." I felt that because of my silence, the other party's hand tightening on my shoulder suddenly tightened.He looked at the starlight spreading along the window on the floor. If he had doubts about why he abandoned Zero before that, now, he had vaguely guessed some possibilities that he didn't want to think about. .

'Joyce' would never, ever want to leave Zero alone in this world.

"Unless, that's the only way to save you."

They fell silent at the same time, looking at each other thoughtfully.In other words, there is no need to continue here, they are the same person, and no one in this world can understand each other's thoughts better than each other.Neither of the two will compromise on this kind of matter, each has its own bottom line, and neither can finally convince the other, so continuing will only add meaningless quarrels.

"I won't give up." Zero whispered.Then, as if emphasizing his firmness, he raised his voice again, encircling Joyce's hands almost crushing the other's bones into his own flesh and blood: "No matter what happens, I will not let you walk away from me leave."

"……it is good."

Repay the past with the same force.Under the starlight, they draw the power of peace of mind from each other, as if there is no pain and sorrow in this world that can make them indulge.

Whatever the future holds, it is enough that you are here now.

……

Joyce and Zero had a late-night secret conversation without the presence of a third person, and there was not much movement. Even Deadpool and Bucky, who lived under the same roof as them, did not know whether the two were in Joyce's bedroom. What did you do.Bucky was okay, because of the double blow of psychology and physiology, he locked himself in his room as soon as he returned to the apartment, and curled up on the bed early.And Deadpool, who had a deep grudge against Zero from the beginning to the end, was not reconciled. He wandered outside his Hani door for a long time, but in the end he didn't overhear anything, and could only roll back to his place full of resentment. , and after a night of nightmares, the resentment that had been pent up in my heart for a long time finally reached the peak that this apartment could accommodate.

Especially, when he climbed into the living room and saw the culprit sitting on the sofa in a daze for the first time, he almost wanted to hold the other party by the collar and have a man-to-man duel with him.

"Aren't you the same as my family Hani? Why is there such a big difference in being a human being?" Dragging zombie-like steps past Zero's eyes, Deadpool reached out to the coffee cup he put on the table, but in the corner of his eye After catching a glimpse of a pathetic leg sticking out from under the opponent's ass, the show almost exploded on the spot.

"You... you you you are sitting on my little rainbow pony!" His eyes widened instantly, and he pointed at Zero's nose tremblingly: "That's cute Rainbow Dash, you know!!!"

"..."

Finally condescending to look at him, Zero impatiently pulled the toy out from behind and threw it at Deadpool, with an air of 'go pick it up and leave me alone': "Go away."

Yo huh? !

Almost got slapped in the face, Wade immediately regained his energy, rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward aggressively, insisting on Zero explaining to himself: "What's wrong with me? I'm blocking your way? This is me and my family Hani Home, why do you want me to go away???"

"Who the hell is you Hani?" I was in a bad mood at first, but there happened to be someone who didn't have long eyes and bumped into the muzzle of the gun. Zero snorted coldly, and stood up from the sofa, ready to fulfill his courtship: "Don't let me hear you call him by such a disgusting name."

"Disgusting?" Deadpool gritted his teeth: "I just yelled, what's the matter? Hani himself doesn't mind, why are you arguing?!"

"I am him, and he is also me, why can't I mind?"

"Crap, what else do you have in common besides your face??!"

Standing in the living room, the two glared at each other, feeling as if each other needed a punch. The cold killing intent on Zero's body was so aroused, and he let it out like he didn't want money, instantly turning the whole living room into a Siberian snowfield.And Deadpool didn't realize how cruel this man in front of him could be until then, he was a little flustered, but he straightened his neck at random, relying on the other party's inability to kill him, he was confident, and he had to shave him twice to relieve his anger.

They looked like they were about to fight.

However, just one second before the two raised their fists.

"How the hell are you guys?"

Holding a plate of grilled cheese, he quickly walked out of the kitchen.Joyce, who had listened to the conversation between the two, couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. He put the plate on the table, not favoring one another at all, and punched each of them on their heads that had been flooded early in the morning.

"No fights, do you hear me?!"

"...Oh." QAQ×2
