31. The Queen's Decision

Robin walked briskly into the villa in Gotham, wearing a plain tracksuit, as if he had just finished an early morning jog, but as soon as he returned to his long-lost home, he encountered a very headache.

A group of girls crowded into the hallway, chirping and shouting, and Emma, who had regained her short hair, kept banging on the door in front of her, calling Catherine's name, and the scene was so noisy that it looked like something bad had happened.

"Hasn't she come out yet?"

Robin parted the crowd, looked at Emma, and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Seeing the arrival of Robin with a serious aura, the noisy girls suddenly became quiet, Robin has been away from Gotham for more than 3 years, he went to Kunlun to inherit the title and power of Iron Fist, but at the same time, he also inherited the responsibility of the strongest weapon in this holy land, if it weren't for this Paradise Island battle that shocked the world, he would not have been able to get this short vacation.

Kunlun, that is a mysterious holy place, as the current Iron Fist, Robin can't leave there for a long time, so he cherishes these days with his family, but although Robin tries his best to fit in with this somewhat unfamiliar new group, due to Catherine's bad mood lately, coupled with the cold temperament that he has cultivated for a long time and rejects people thousands of miles away, it has little effect.

But his love for his family is no less than that of his uncle.

"Robin, persuade her. ”

Emma, who was dressed in a very formal ladies' suit, grabbed Robin's hand and whispered:

"Yesterday Lewis and Harvey proposed to let Catherine temporarily take over the leadership of the Devil Gang to calm the people, but after she heard the news, she had a big fight with them, and then locked herself in the room, and asked Saimia to block the space, but 20 minutes later it was time for Utopia to sign a joint development contract with S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Heavenly Sword Bureau, as Cyber's immediate family and first representative, she must appear!"

"Well..."

Robin nodded silently, as the elder brother who grew up watching Catherine, he should know Catherine's character better than these noisy girls in front of him, under this girl's big grinning appearance, there is a sensitive heart unique to the Christian family, she is just like Cyber, carefully cover it up, but when Cyber's life and death are uncertain, Harvey and Lewis's actions undoubtedly hurt her heart.

"Go out first, and wait for her outside. ”

Robin commanded, looking at his cold face, although the girls were still a little worried, they still obediently followed Emma out.

When Robin was alone, he coughed lightly and reached out and knocked on the door:

"Little sister, open the door and let me in. ”

There was silence in response, and after a few seconds, Robin spoke again:

"I only have 7 days off, are you going to be so stubborn all the time, and then make me wait another 10 years, before I see you once? Don't let anyone want to get involved, okay?"

"Click"

The door opened slightly, and the fallen angel Symia smiled awkwardly at Robin with some embarrassment, and then pointed to the corner of the dark room, her figure disappeared into the darkness in the next moment, as the contract demon with the closest connection with Catherine, she knew that it was better not to hear the conversation between the two brothers and sisters next.

Robin walked into the room, closed the door with his backhand, and practiced the mysterious "qi" for a long time, which made his senses extremely strong, and the darkness could no longer cover his gaze, and at the moment he turned his head, he saw Catherine curled up on the edge of the bed, hiding in the dark, messy hair, and messy makeup touched by tears, looking like a frightened puppy.

"Alas, silly girl. ”

Robin stepped forward, sat beside her, and reached out to hug her, and the latter also reached out and hugged Robin tightly, the strength was so great, as if he was afraid of losing the last loved one.

"They asked me to take Cyber's place, and I knew they were looking out for the bigger picture... But, I don't believe he can't come back... I don't believe he left us behind, he'll come back, I know... They don't believe it, and I believe it! He's going to come back. ”

Catherine choked up and said to Robin, "I saw Selena and May hiding in the room crying, Felicity had sleeping pills in her bag, Kevin didn't want to go home, everyone was laughing, they all told me that Cyber would come back, but they were all comforting me, and they weren't sure for themselves... I didn't believe he was gone, oh my god, I didn't even see him for the last time!"

"It's okay, it's okay, he'll be back, he said it himself, I was there at the time. ”

Robin patted Catherine's sobbing back, slowly soothing the girl's current bad mood, obviously, this outburst was not because Catherine was vexatious, but because of Cyber's sudden departure, which caused too much pressure on the family, but Catherine, who had just become an adult, was under the greatest pressure, because after Robin left Gotham, she became Cyber's first heir.

When Cyber didn't know when he would return, the affairs of the Devil Gang naturally had to be submitted to her to deal with, and under this gap, she could easily breed the idea that "Cyber may not come back", which led to the current situation.

It's normal, anyone who is in Catherine's position will have such pressure.

After the departure of his father, the Christian family was originally formed by four orphans, and this special bond made them huddle together and face everything in the outside world together, this kind of feeling, even beyond the bonds of blood and family, so after the loss, it will become more and more painful.

Robin comforted Catherine as he reached out and picked up a letter she had placed beside her, and he looked at the payment and asked in a low voice:

"This is Cyber's letter to you, why don't you open it?"

"It was sent by Professor Charles, and given to him by Cyber before the war. ”

Catherine sniffed, let go of Robin, and sat cross-legged on the bed, she didn't look at the letter, and whispered, "I don't look at it, I'll wait until Cyber comes back to open it, I'm afraid it will say that he may not come back, and if he himself loses faith in himself, how can I guarantee my confidence?"

"All right, crying like a little cat. ”

Robin reached out and scratched Catherine's nose, then picked up the envelope and whispered:

"Let's see, I'm sure that when Cyber had a premonition that he might leave, he would have a lot to say to you, and I don't think it's a good choice to forget these words in time, you have to trust him... So I took it apart?"

Robin looked at the little sister, who hesitated a little, but in the end, he nodded with his eyes closed, and said arrogantly:

"Read it to me! If it means he may not come back, don't read it. ”

"Alright, alright, silly girl. ”

Robin couldn't laugh or cry, he reached out and opened the envelope, and pulled out a folded piece of letter from it, which was not many words, Robin coughed lightly and read:

"Dear Catherine:"

"By the time you read this letter, I may have embarked on a path of uncertainty, and if it were possible, I would never leave you alone, you are the source of my strength, the place of my faith, but unfortunately, there are many things in this world that we do not want to do, but we have to do. ”

Robin paused and glanced at Catherine, whose eyes were still closed, but her fingers were already tightened, and he continued:

"A lot of times, I'm thinking about whether I'm so free with you, I'm with Robin, I'm with the kids, that you're always leaving me one by one to live your own lives, and let me be selfish and think that if everyone I care about can be there for me, then I'd rather give up everything I have now and go back to Gotham and be a laid-back bar owner... Believe me, that's the best life I can think of. ”

"But I can't be so selfish in deciding your life and fate, I know very well that the best gift for my relatives is to give them all the power to choose your life, I will come forward to deal with trouble when you are in trouble, I will share your happiness when you are happy, I will give you confidence when you are depressed, forgive me, I am not a very emotional person, maybe sometimes I will make you feel too cold, but I just want to give you the best I have. ”

"I'm just doing everything I can to make the world the best it can be for you... Maybe I can't come back... Or when I come back, the world will be in a different place, but I still hope... In my absence, you can continue to live happily and happily, and pretend that I am still with you..."

As she read this, Catherine turned her head, tears streaming from her eyes, and Robin's eyes moistened a little, and he paused, in silence, to finish the last paragraph.

"Catherine, Robin is free to decide his own future, he has embarked on a right, great path, he doesn't need me to worry too much about him, but you... My doting has made you have some bad problems, I am always reluctant to accuse you, in my eyes, you will always be the little girl who accompanies me in the lonely Gotham, you are the first light ignited in the dark life of my first body... You have illuminated my confused future. ”

"I want you to be the kind of person you want to be, there is no time limit for this, you can start at any time, as my dearest sister, no one can force you. ”

"Of course you can stay the way you are, you can start to change, and as I said, you shouldn't have limits in your life. ”

"You can be negative or positive, but I want you to live positively, whether I'm here or not. ”

"I hope you can live a life where you will feel proud, you will feel happy, if you suddenly find that one day you are not doing well, I hope that you can have your own strength... Live again for yourself!"

"My dear Catherine, help me take care of Selena, let her stop doing those dangerous things, help me take care of May, she is more fragile than anyone else under her rational appearance, help me take care of Felicity, keep her away from that damn sleeping pill, help me take care of Kevin, let him live this life without any burden, and finally, if you can, help me take care of Utopia..."

"Forgive me, my sister, for leaving you with a heavy unimaginable burden... I won't blame you if you don't want to bear it, you'll always be my pride, and now, I'm going to fight those damn opponents, wish me a long way, finally... Looking forward to meeting you again. ”

"Love your brother, Seber Hawke on Paradise Island. ”

Robin finished reading the letter, the ancient well Wubo in his heart that he had been tempered for a long time was gone at this time, and in Cyber's letter, a delicate feeling that was completely different from his usual time gushed out, he took a deep breath and looked back at Catherine, whose face was already covered with tears, and she bit her lip to make herself stubborn and stop crying.

Layers of dangerous spatial energy continued to derive and die behind her, but in an instant, this bed belonging to a girl was cut to pieces by the sharp space, and in the drifting darkness, her golden hair flew everywhere, but Robin did not say anything to stop this dangerous change, he just took a step back and watched Catherine's transformation.

Once the ability of mutants is fixed, it is difficult to improve, but this is not decisive, there are always some gifted mutants who will achieve a second awakening after their strength is solidified, and Catherine in front of her, in extreme sadness, finally embarked on her own path.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Robin didn't know whether to be happy or sad, he looked at the letter in his hand, and then at Catherine, this may be what Cyber has always wanted to see, his little sister finally has the ability to really protect herself, but unfortunately, Cyber can't see it anymore.

"Go, Catherine... Be the kind of person you want to be..."

Ten minutes later, in the newly built management office of Utopia World, Fury, Zheng Xian and Professor Charles in formal clothes sat in a very formal setting, next to Professor Charles, there was a vacant seat, and now there was less than 1 minute before the time of signing the co-development agreement, but the representative who attended on behalf of Cyber never appeared.

"What is this?"

Fury couldn't help but complain: "Is it really the right choice for Cyber to hand over his power to a little girl, and when the little girl is sad, she will always be desperate?"

Zheng Xian didn't speak, and Professor Charles was a little embarrassed, and he whispered:

"I believe in Catherine, and I believe in Cyber's choice. ”

As soon as the words fell, the door behind him was pushed open, and in the midst of the indifferent little devils, Catherine in a black suit strolled into the conference room, her long blond hair hanging down to her heels, and her black gloved hand held the Edelman alloy knife left by Cyber, which had been given to Stark by Cyber, and after Cyber left, Stark sent it back.

But the most eye-catching thing is the puppy-like miniature black dragon with black wings squatting on Catherine's shoulder, vivid, like a living thing, but the people present are all real heroes, and they can see the essence of this little black dragon at a glance... An energy entity condensed from super-sized power.

A symbol of Catherine's power after her second awakening.

"I'm coming!"

Catherine said coldly, "I am here on behalf of my brother Cyber, and before signing the agreement, I have to ask one thing... What are you going to do with the Soul Gems in Wakanda?"

Fury and Jung Hyun glanced at each other, and he whispered, "The 7 messages sent to Wakanda have been completely ignored, and it seems that they don't intend to join the final union of human civilization..."

Catherine sat down in her chair and held out her hand, and Sergei presented her with a signature pen, who wrote his name on the agreement: "Catherine Anne Hawke." ”

"Then destroy it!"

She threw down her pen and glanced at the two commanders in front of her, her eyes shining with queenly indifference:

"Our time is precious, there is no time to waste on weak diplomatic rhetoric, the three legions of Utopia a total of 13 people can be dispatched at any time, the soul gem should belong to all mankind, now it is your turn to choose, gentlemen, to join, or... Not joining?"
