Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Catherine's voice appeared so abrupt, that Cyber ​​was taken aback.

He turned his head abruptly. The next moment, the wall lamp was turned on. He saw the little girl standing next to the wall lamp. She was wearing pajamas and was standing at the top of the stairs. She seemed to be insomnia, and there was a trace in those big eyes. Easy to find panic.

Saibo breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe it was because he was thinking too hard just now, so he didn't notice the little girl approaching. He beckoned to Catherine. The little girl walked up to him and sat on the sofa next to him. She used Looking at Saibo's expression secretly from the corner of her eyes, she didn't find anything unusual, so she sighed with relief.

But the next moment, a big hand fell on her head, making a mess of her neatly combed hair. Catherine exploded her hair like a kitten, and then she heard Cyber's abusive taste. problem,

"What are you doing secretly watching me? Little Catherine, what are you going to tell me?"

The little girl tangled up and grabbed her fingers. She didn't even care about the things that Saibo messed up her hair just now. She cringed and looked at Saibo, secretly mustering courage, but when she was speaking , Lowered his voice again, like a little animal being bullied,

"Syber, do you believe in super powers in this world?"

"Uh?"

Saibo was shocked, what kind of problem is this?

But thinking of the little girl's age, he suddenly realized that children at this age are when they like crazy thinking, maybe it is the little girl who has the doubt about watching movies?

Thinking of this, Cyber ​​immediately felt that he had a great responsibility and wanted to instill some good ideas into this little girl, so he showed a very gentle smile and nodded.

"Well, I believe it."

"Then do you hate people with superpowers?"

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

"Uh…"

Sai Bo stopped asking this question again, and he scratched his head.

"How to put it, if they don't mess with me, I don't think it matters. If their superpowers are interesting and they are not bad guys, maybe I will like them."

The expression on Catherine’s face became richer, she just got up from the sofa and looked at Cyber ​​very expectantly.

"Then do you hate me? Cyber."

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

"Do you say you hate you? Little girl, what's wrong tonight, always talking about this mess..."

"Om"

Cyber ​​felt his hands trembling slightly while holding Catherine's face, and then Catherine who was standing in front of him disappeared with a mischievous smile.

No... not disappearing, but the whole person fell into the ground... really "melted" into it, like falling into black water, he could even see Catherine's face sinking into the hair under the floor.

It's like playing a game with him!

But this game made Cyber's hair stand upright. He got up from the sofa and pinched the back of his hand for the first time. After confirming the pain and confirming that this was not a dream, he nervously began to look for Catherine's The trail, under the dim light, all this seemed so unreal.

The three questions of the little girl before were suddenly linked together, and all of Cyber's doubts suddenly disappeared at this moment.

Catherine...she is what she calls a "superpower" person, this girl...she is a mutant!

Cyber ​​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 happy little girl saw this expression, and her eyes fell. Red, tears welled up from the eyes.

She has seen this expression many times. For this reason, her former parents may have ignored her disappearance. In the days when she fell into Gotham and panicked, those who were sent to the orphanage were taken care of by the caretaker. The memory of abuse, she subconsciously thinks in her unsound mind, it is these "superpowers" that make her not liked by everyone.

She never used it again, except in an extremely critical moment. How did a 9-year-old girl overcame the towering walls of the orphanage on a cold rainy night?How did she live on the crisis-ridden narrow island for almost a year.

Catherine felt that Cyber ​​would be the same as everyone else, and would abandon her because of her "different". My father would not accept a monster. She felt cold, even in a warm room, she used her arms Slowly squat down holding his body, squatting in the corner, shivering like an abandoned little beast.

Seeing this scene, Cyber ​​couldn’t help sighing. Before getting the gift from Coulson, he thought he was a freak, almost exactly the same as Catherine now. He could almost think of this. The girl was under so much pressure that she confessed to him this "secret" that she had carefully maintained.

Perhaps because of the fat Jon, Catherine's dependence on him is much stronger than he thought. He stepped forward, squatted down in front of Catherine, reached out his hand and tried to pat her on the head as before, but was caught by the little girl. Avoided.

The way she avoided was very strange. When Saibo's hand stretched over, her small body retreated and merged into the wall. Obviously, Saibo's expression just broke 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 was crying with his head down. He drew his left hand in his pocket, took out a dagger, and shook it in front of the little girl's eyes. After shaking, and then swiping down, the sharp blade cut through his skin. It was not a terrible wound, but the crimson blood still flowed out.

Cyber ​​gnawed his teeth, and the sleeping heat in his body was awakened. Under Catherine’s stunned gaze, the small wound slowly stopped bleeding and healed. After not a long time, it disappeared completely, and the silent hall looked like It seemed that nothing happened, but the dozen drops of blood on the floor proved that what Catherine had just seen was not an illusion.

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

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

"I... I'm afraid."

Catherine slowly "walked" out of the wall, with tears still hanging on her face, she sniffed and said to Cyber ​​seriously,

"Syber, are you also someone with superpowers?"

"Isn't it a superpower? This name is frustrating, okay..."

Saber reached out and hugged Catherine lightly, rubbed her forehead with the sorrowful stubble.

"We, there is a name called Mutant, uh, it sounds more frustrated than that, but you have to remember, Catherine..."

The little girl sat on Saibo’s lap and looked at him. Saibo raised his head and looked 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 once, I dreamed that I could walk through the bed, through the wall, and even through the ground. Then I woke up and found me lying in the basement of my house..."

Catherine scratched her head. "Maybe it was the reason for the dream. My mother was terrified at the time. She repeatedly told me not to let others know about it."

"and then?"

Cyber ​​spit out smoke. This is the first time the little girl took the initiative to tell her past story in more than half a month. His problem seemed to remind Catherine of some bad things, but she was silent for a few seconds. , Continue to say,

"Later in half a year, I thought it hadn’t happened until half a year later, one time my kitten fell into the sewer. When I rescued it, the neighbor saw it. They said I was a witch, and then we I moved and moved to Brooklyn. From that day on, my parents who were kind to me changed. I always shut myself in the house. I was afraid that I was really a witch who pointed me. Once I heard them crying in the bedroom in the middle of the night, and I knew they still loved me."

Catherine's eyes were red again, and Saber grinned, showing a mocking smile.

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

Catherine's body trembled for a while, probably because she thought of Fat Jon's abuse of her. Saibo put her left hand on her back and patted her back, so that her body calmed down.

"This is a trip from New York to Toronto. It was a trip by my parents to make me happier. Before my birthday, we went to many places. Gotham was our third last stop, and then at the station. Here, mom and dad and I got lost, and then...I never saw them."

"Syber, do they not love me anymore? Am I annoying them?"

The little girl threw 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. He grew up as an orphan more than once. Think about the same problem at midnight.

Why did they abandon him?

Is it because of life force, or because of some weird reason?

Cyber ​​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 people is to live well in the present to be qualified to look forward to the future. .

He knocked out the pipe on the floor and gave Catherine a hug. He comforted her and said,

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

"Hmm! Would you not want me? Cyber?"

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

Saber held Catherine's shoulders with both hands. He sat on the ground and looked at the sobbing little girl. He showed an unsightly 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 stop the bullet, otherwise what a gentle world this is...oh, yes! I said I would give you a gift."

With that said, Cyber ​​took out a black pistol from the lining of his clothes and made an exaggerated grimace.

"Dangdangdang!"

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

"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 guard your safety. You are too young, although your ability is very powerful. At least it’s more useful than mine, but it’s not enough to protect you. Hold it tight, Catherine, when others try to hurt you..."

Saibo squinted and laughed, smoothed the little girl’s stray 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 too cold, and it doesn't even want to give us even a little more love, so We must learn to love ourselves even more, remember?"

"Is it like treating Fat Jon?"

"Yes! That's it!"

"Well, I remembered it!"
