Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

On the second day of the trip to New York, the sun was as mild as the first day, but everyone's mood was average.

Wearing sunglasses, the frosty S.H.I.E.L.D. 7-level agent Melinda May is sitting in the driver's seat, with the steering wheel turning flexibly in her palms. This is New York, a metropolis, and the city is very busy. The area is several times that of Gotham, and the population is more than 5 times.

But Cyber ​​is not envious of the prosperity here. He has an instinctive resistance to this noisy environment, and it takes more than an hour to drive where they are going today, so naturally the guide can only lead the way. Up.

Catherine, who was dressed up, sat next to Seber. She looked unusually active, in stark contrast to Seber, who was sunk in her seat.

"Seb, Cyber, do you think they remember me?"

The little girl asked Cyber ​​the same question for the seventh time. The young man twitched his eyes under the sunglasses, took a deep breath, and patted Catherine with his left hand.

"They must remember you. Who would forget such a cute little girl?"

So Catherine was content and sat beside him obediently. Yes, today is the day to take her to her house. The power of S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York is amazing. In a short time, I found the Pride couple’s current address.

Catherine's birth was Catherine Anne Pride, a descendant of Jews. According to May’s data, Catherine’s life before the age of 8 was indeed very happy. It was the common state of the middle class in the United States. Parents loved her and she was almost the little princess , But after the awakening of ability, the Pride family moved three times within a year, and Catherine's ability brought almost endless trouble to Pride's parents.

Alien species are called alien species because they are different from ordinary people, and alien species are the easiest to be excluded and attacked. This is one of the original sins flowing in human blood, even if the object is just a child.

What would happen to Catherine going home, Cyber ​​didn’t know, and he didn’t want to guess. He had seen a lot of the dark side of human nature. Frankly speaking, he didn’t want his guess to come true, but what’s interesting is that Along the way, Cyber ​​discovered a little "secret" of the frosty Agent May.

She is afraid of children... To be precise, she is resisting contact with a little girl like Catherine. Although she wears sunglasses, in the eyes of Cyber, every time she sees Catherine in the rearview mirror, her body will tremble. .

"Interesting... last time she didn't seem to have this problem."

Cyber ​​touched his chin, and did not tell what he had observed. First of all, this is a private matter, and it may involve some taboos. Second, at least for now, they are still in a cooperative relationship.

Agent May also seemed to feel the gaze of Cyber's observation, so she was very silent on the road. Until 30 minutes later, the black Dodge stopped outside a white cottage in the suburbs of Brooklyn. The three people got out of the car and raced. Uncle looked at the villa in front of him, and from the outside paved and well-kept garden, he could see the family's pursuit of quality of life.

The little girl was very active all the way, but when she was really standing in front of the villa, she held Saibo's hand in fear, he looked at the young man leaning on the car and whispered,

"Sab, you accompany me, okay?"

When Saibo heard this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He knelt down, took off his sunglasses, and looked at Catherine who was about to cry.

"Are you scared?"

"No... I just... I just..."

"Don't be afraid, I am here."

Cyber ​​knocked on her little head,

"If you really don’t know how to face them, you might as well "walk in" quietly, don’t be discovered by them, and see how their lives are now. If they remember you, you can go and meet them. If they forget , You come out, we will return to Gotham together,

The little girl was so nervous that she couldn't speak, Saibo placed his hand on her shoulder lightly and said to her,

"Come on, take a deep breath... exhale, breathe... is it better?"

"Ok!"

She nodded vigorously, and Saibo stretched out her fist.

"Don't be seen by them! Let's say it!"

Catherine also stretched out her fist, touched it lightly on Saibo's fist, and then ran behind him. In May's surprised eyes, she melted into the ground like magic.

Saber put on his sunglasses and stood up. May's voice also sounded at the same moment.

"This kid...is also a mutant?"

"What do you mean?"

Saibo shrugged, "After spending a whole day with us, Miss Agent, you didn't realize this. It seems that you don't have the ability to detect mutants."

"If high-level mutants are unwilling to show their identity, ordinary people will not be able to detect them unless they are detected by special equipment."

Mei’s voice became colder and colder, and Cyber ​​clearly felt the coldness in her voice. It seemed that the news that Catherine was a mutant made her feel bad, but this made Cyber ​​more and more interested in May’s transformation. But just before he asked, May took the initiative and said,

"This kid will be disappointed this time."

"Ok?"

Cyber ​​turned his head to look at her. At this point in time, there were almost no pedestrians in this block, and naturally no one noticed them.

"While searching for information about the Pride couple yesterday, I found something interesting."

Mei took off her sunglasses, closed her eyes, and leaned against the car, seeming to be basking in the sun. Her voice was low, but it was very clear into Saibo’s ears.

"The loss of Catherine is a difficult problem to explain clearly. I think you are also wondering if they deliberately abandoned Catherine because of her ability, but in my analysis, this is unlikely to be true. Both the Ryders have their own beliefs. They can't do things like abandoning the children. More importantly, after Catherine was lost, the Prides who returned to New York once commissioned many people to find their daughters."

"So Ms. Sister, do you mean that these couples are innocent?"

In his heart, Cyber ​​felt his worries disappear, but at the same time, Cyber ​​also had his own doubts about this statement.

"According to this, the Pride couple should welcome Catherine's return. Why do you say she will be disappointed?"

"Hmph, I didn't say they were innocent."

Mei coldly snorted, "Even if they don't have the thoughts, but the carelessness of taking an 8-year-old girl at the station will most likely lead to the disappearance of a life. They are incompetent parents. Catherine can meet you. It is her luck. Personally, I actually hope that this girl can return to her family, but unfortunately, this is no longer possible."

Saber did not speak, but his eyes were tightly placed on May, who was silent for a moment and said,

"They have amnesia."

"what?"

This answer stopped Syber’s thinking in an instant. After a few seconds, he jumped up from the spot and stood in front of May.

"Are you kidding? Sister Agent!"

This title made Mei dislike it. She shook her hand, and there was an impatient voice in her voice, "I warn you, if you give me a messy nickname, I will cut off your tongue. I am in a bad mood now!"

"Alright alright!"

Saibo raised his hand to signal that he had surrendered, and May then finished the story.

"Although Catherine’s disappearance, the Pride couple has an unshirkable responsibility, but they do love their daughter very much. After a year of searching without news, the couple has reached the brink of collapse, and their neighbors The police said that they tried to commit suicide in pain. If there were no accidents, they would have been overwhelmed by pain."

"So, something unexpected happened, right?"

Saibo asked, May nodded, her eyes turned to the southeast.

"Just three months ago, when the Pride couple was about to be overwhelmed by regret and pain, a mysterious person visited them. That afternoon, the Pride couple, who had fully recovered their temperament, moved happily. When they moved here, they completely forgot all the information about their daughter and stayed away from the source of the pain. And just this month, Mrs. Pride became pregnant, and this dying family will once again have a new life."

"So I would say that it was actually a real mistake that you brought Catherine over at this time."

This unexpected news made Saber's fist clenched, and after a few minutes he let it go. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice,

"I once said to my little brother that the uncontrollable pain of losing a loved one will linger in his heart until he turns a person’s longing for the one he loves into toxins flowing in the blood. One day, he will hope The person he loves has never...existed before, and only in this way can the pain entangled in fate disappear completely...it's ironic. Someone actually did this..."

He gritted his teeth and looked at Mei again.

"But I'm even more curious, how did that mysterious man do it? Did he tamper with their memories?"

"Tampering? No, no, no, that's too low-level. He directly "erased" all the memories of the painful Pride couple about Catherine."

Mei reached out her hand and made a wiping motion in the air,

"It's like you grind off the dirty water on the car window, leaving a blank. He only needs to carefully replace the blank with happy memories to turn two poor people who wish to commit suicide into happiness. Ordinary person, Cyber, you look so surprised... It seems that you still don’t know anything about the miracle that the blood flowing in your body will generate."

The Level 7 agent sighed, and there was a complicated look in his eyes under the sunglasses.

"I sometimes wonder why it’s the same appearance as an ordinary person, but mutants have so many terrifying abilities. Yes, it’s a mutant who accomplishes all this, and you will see him soon. Up."

"to be frank…"

Saibo swallowed, "After hearing your description, I don't want to see this big guy who can modify memories at will. Under his full operation, he will turn me into a runny nose and only porridge for the rest of my life. Then silly X silly?"

Mei hugged her shoulders with a mocking smile on her lips.

"With your strength, Professor Charles only needs one-fifth of his power to turn you into a real dementia, and you can’t avoid it, Cyber, this time you are coming to New York. Will Weir Talent Junior College meet with Professor Charles?"

"You don’t really think that one of the bipolarity of mutant society is an ordinary person that you can beat with a fist casually? Let me put it this way, Cyber, Professor Charles, as long as he wants to, he stays there. In the academy, you can instantly kill anyone in any corner of the world...whether the opponent is a civilian, a high-ranking official, a president, or...a mercenary."

Saibo's breathing became serious at this moment. He took a crumpled cigarette from his pocket and held it in his mouth. After taking a few deep breaths, he shrugged.

"According to you, isn't he indistinguishable from God?"

Mei glared at him. Belief is something you can’t talk nonsense in American society, especially the unscrupulous language of Cyber, but she still abides by her role as a guide. She brings her sunglasses back to Cyber, who is almost a mutant. The guy who knows nothing about society said,

"Do you really think that ordinary people reject mutants only because you are "alien"? It is easy to make one person hate one thing, but it is very difficult to make the whole human world fear the same thing. Hitler was called " Devil", but there are still people who admire him, but what about mutants? Do you know how many ordinary people are kind to mutants?"

"The low number is far beyond your imagination. Let me tell you, Cyber, if the mutants are united, they already have the strength to threaten the current human civilization. This is the biggest reason why ordinary people are hostile to you. They are afraid of you! That's why they reject you."

Mei took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.

"Professor Charles and Magneto King Eric, they have joined forces once, or when they are not fully capable of each other, that time, they used the power of two people to end the Cuban Missile Crisis. Two powerful fleets, two people unite... it's so easy to reverse the future."

"Learn hard, Cyber, the reality of this world is much more exciting than you think."
