Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Catherine's voice came out so abruptly that Saber himself was taken aback.

He turned his head suddenly, and the next moment, the wall lamp was turned on, and he saw the little girl standing next to the wall lamp, she was wearing pajamas, standing at the stairs, she seemed to be insomnia, and there was a trace of strangeness in her big eyes. An easy-to-spot fluster.

Saber breathed a sigh of relief, maybe because he was thinking too seriously just now, so he didn't notice the little girl approaching. He waved to Catherine, and the little girl came to him and sat on the sofa next to him. She secretly looked at Saibo's expression out of the corner of her eyes, and found nothing unusual, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, a big hand landed on her head, messing up her neatly combed hair, Catherine blew up like a kitten, and then heard Seb's teasing voice question,

What are you looking at me for? Little Catherine, what are you going to tell me?

The little girl scratched her fingers a little bit tangled, she didn't even care about the thing that Saibo messed up her hair just now, she looked at Saibo a little timidly, and secretly mustered up her courage, but when she was talking , lowered his voice again, like a bullied animal,

Serber, do you believe that there are superpowers in this world?

Well?

Saber froze for a moment, what kind of problem is this?

But when he thought of the little girl's age, he suddenly realized that children at this age just like to think wildly, maybe the little girl only had questions about what movie he watched?

Thinking of this, Cyber ​​suddenly felt that he had a great responsibility to instill some good thoughts into this little girl, so he showed a very gentle smile, nodded,

Well, I believe so.

Then do you hate people with superpowers?

The expression on the little girl's face became richer. She grabbed her fingers and asked more seriously, Do you like them?

Well…

This question stopped Saber again, he scratched his head,

Well, if they don't mess with me, I don't care. If their superpowers are interesting and they're not bad guys, maybe I'll like them.

The expression on Catherine's face became richer, she simply stood up from the sofa and looked at Saibo very expectantly,

Then you hate me, Cyber.

This question made Saibo laugh dumbly. He stretched out his hand, grabbed the little girl's slightly chubby face, and gently pulled his left hand outward.

Are you saying you hate you? Little girl, what's the matter tonight, you're always talking about these nonsense...

hum

Saber felt his hands holding Catherine's small face tremble slightly, and then Catherine, who was standing in front of him, disappeared with a mischievous smile.

No...it didn't disappear, but the whole person fell into the ground...truly melted into it, like falling into black water, and he could even see the hair of Catherine's face buried under the floor.

It's like playing a game with him!

But this game made Saber's hair stand on end. He stood up from the sofa, pinched the back of his hand for the first time, confirmed the pain, and after confirming that this was not a dream, he nervously began to look around for Catherine's Under the dim light, all this seems so unreal.

The three questions from the little girl before were suddenly connected together, and all doubts of Saibo disappeared at this moment.

Catherine...she's what she calls a superpower, this girl...she's a mutant!

Saibo turned his head, there was no smile on his face, no relaxation, his expression fell into the eyes of Catherine who appeared from the other side of the wall, the originally happy little girl saw this expression, her eyes changed Red, and tears welled up from his eyes.

She has seen this expression many times, and her former parents may have ignored her disappearance for this reason. In the days of falling into Gotham and panicking at the beginning, those who were sent to the orphanage were sent to the orphanage by the administrator. The memory of the abuse, subconsciously in her not-so-sound mind, believed that it was these superpowers that made her unloved by everyone.

She never used it again, except in the most critical moment. Otherwise, how did a little girl who was only 9 years old climb over the towering walls of the orphanage on a cold rainy night? And how did she spend almost a year on the narrow island, which was full of dangers.

Catherine felt that Saber would be like everyone else, would abandon her because of her differentness, and Dad would not accept a monster, she felt the cold, even in a warm room, she used her arms He hugged his body and slowly squatted down, squatting in the corner, shivering like an abandoned little animal.

When Seber saw this scene, he couldn't help sighing. Before he got the gift from Coulson, he also thought he was a freak, and he was almost exactly the same as the current Catherine. He could almost imagine that this How much pressure did the girl endure to confess to him this secret that she carefully guarded.

Perhaps because of the fat Jon, Catherine is much more dependent on him than he imagined. He stepped forward, knelt down in front of Catherine, reached out and tried to pat her on the head as before, but was caught by the little girl. dodged.

The way she dodged was very strange, when Saber's hand stretched out, her little body receded and merged into the wall, obviously, just now, Saber's expression hurt her heart.

Seeing this scene, Saibo was a little helpless. He thought for a while, and simply sat cross-legged in front of Catherine, who lowered her head and wept. He reached into his pocket with his left hand, took out a dagger, and waved it before the little girl Shaking, and then slashing downwards, the sharp blade cut through his skin. It wasn't a terrible wound, but red blood still flowed out.

Sable gritted his teeth, and the sleeping heat in his body was awakened. Under Catherine's dumbfounded gaze, the small wound slowly stopped bleeding and healed. After a not-so-long minute, it completely disappeared. The silent hall looked Nothing seemed to have happened, but the dozen or so drops of blood on the floor proved that what Catherine saw just now was not an illusion.

Saibo shook his smooth as new arm in front of Catherine who had stopped crying, reached out to take out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, propped his body back with his arms comfortably, and swallowed a cigarette towards the sky. Smoke rings, and then looked down at the little girl.

Fu...don't worry now? You little clever ghost, why didn't you tell me earlier?

I... I'm scared.

Catherine slowly walked out from the wall, her face was still stained with tears, she sniffled and said seriously to Seber,

Serber, are you also a person with superpowers?

Isn't it called super power? This name is very frustrating, okay...

Saibo stretched out his hand to hug Catherine lightly, and rubbed her forehead with his moaning stubble,

We have a name called Mutant, uh, it sounds more frustrating than that, but you have to remember, Catherine...

The little girl sat on Saibo's lap and looked at him. Saibo raised his head to look at the night sky outside the window,

We are not freaks, we are normal people! Normal people who are stronger than them! By the way, when did you have this ability?

About a few years ago, after I fell asleep, I dreamed that I could go through the bed, through the wall, and even through the ground. Then I woke up and found that I was lying in the basement of my home...

Catherine scratched her head, Maybe it's because of that dream. At that time, my mother was terrified, and she repeatedly told me not to tell others about it.

Then what?

Saibo breathed out the smoke. This was the first time the little girl took the initiative to tell her past story in the past half a month. His question seemed to remind Catherine of some bad things, but after she was silent for a few seconds, , just go on,

In the next six months, I pretended that nothing happened. Until half a year later, my kitten fell into the sewer. When I rescued it, my neighbors saw me. They said I was a witch. Then we I moved to Brooklyn. From that day on, my parents who were very good to me changed. I always shut myself in the house. I was afraid that I was really a witch pointed out by those people. I I heard them cry in the bedroom once in the middle of the night, and I knew they still loved me.

Catherine's eyes were red again, Seber grinned, showing a mocking smile,

Those who point at you are stupid, ignore them, then how did you come to Gotham?

Catherine's body trembled for a while, probably remembering how fat Jon had abused her. Seber put his left hand on her back and patted her back to calm her down.

It was a trip, from New York to Toronto, a trip my mom and dad made to make me happier. We went to a lot of places before my birthday. Gotham was our third last stop, and then at the station Here, my parents and I got lost, and then... I never saw them.

Serber, do they not love me anymore? Have I made them angry?

The little girl threw herself into Saibo's arms. He could feel the fear in her heart, the fear of being abandoned by her loved ones. This feeling was also very familiar to Saibo. Growing up as an orphan, he had experienced it more than once. Thinking about the same thing in the middle of the night.

Why should they abandon him?

Is it because life forces it, or is it because of some weird reason?

Saibo hopes to be the former, but after he grows up, he no longer thinks about these issues. Let him pass the past. The most important thing for a person is to live well in the present, so that he can be qualified to look forward to the future .

He put out his pipe on the floor and gave Catherine an embrace, comforting her by saying,

No, they must be worried about you too, silly girl, don't cry, don't you want to go to New York with me? Let's go find them and give them a surprise, shall we?

Hmm! Will you not want me, Cyber?

No...I won't, because we are the same kind of people, aren't we all the freaks they say? How can one freak abandon another freak?

Saibo held Catherine's shoulders with both hands. He sat on the ground and looked at the sobbing little girl. He showed a not-so-pretty smile, reached out to help her wipe away the tears, and said to her very seriously,

You, you have to learn to be strong, tears can't hold back bullets, otherwise what a gentle world this would be... Oh, yes! I said I would give you a gift.

Said, Saibo took out a black pistol from the lining of his clothes, and made an exaggerated grimace.

Dang Dang Dang Dang!

He placed it seriously between Catherine's palms, and stretched out his hand to let the little girl hold the cold toy that was too big for her, and said to the ignorant little girl with earnestness,

Weapon, this is probably the most loyal partner in the world. You see, as long as you hold it tightly, even if the whole world abandons you, it will silently protect your safety. You are still too young, although you are very powerful , at least it is more useful than mine, but it is not enough to protect you, hold it tight, Catherine, when others try to hurt you...

Saibo smiled with narrowed eyes, smoothed the little girl's messy hair, and whispered in her ear,

When they try to hurt you, kill them... You can't give them the right to hurt you a second time, you know, this world is too dangerous and cruel, and it doesn't even want to give us even a little more love, so We have to learn to love ourselves more, remember?

Like Fat Jon?

Yes! That's it!

Well, I remember!
