2. Charles his person
It wasn't a pleasant thing to talk to Agent May, she was a very difficult woman to deal with, so for the rest of the day, Cyber was alone in the car thinking about his own business.
10 minutes later, Catherine, who was a little helpless, was sent out by a gentle lady, and it could be seen that she liked Catherine very much, and she liked this little girl who was dressed like a boy, and she even stuffed a large bag of snacks into the dazed Catherine's hand.
As they opened the door, Cyber hurriedly patted his cheek, pretended to be panicked, and ran up,
"Catherine, where have you gone? Do you know how worried your sister and I are about you?"
He said with an exaggerated acting act, while still waving at Agent May behind him, seeing the suspicion in Mrs. Pryde's eyes, the reluctant Agent May also walked up quickly, the professionally trained agent's acting skills were very different, and when she took off her glasses, her eyes were already red.
"Catherine, you're scared me to death!"
She hugged Catherine, her voice trembled a little, and when she saw this scene, Mrs. Pride was relieved, she put her left hand on the top of Catherine's head, and while touching it, she said to Cyber, who was rubbing her hands,
"Somehow, this little cutie ran to my backyard and locked herself in the garden, which scared me too, are you her brothers and sisters?"
Cyber nodded, rubbing his hands together and said excitedly,
"I'm Seber Hawke, and this is my sister Mae Hawke, and this little mischievous is my little sister Catherine Hawke, and we've been looking for her all morning in this neighborhood, thank you so much, ma'am. ”
"It's nothing, Catherine and I are very close to each other. ”
The gentle Mrs. Pride bent down, hugged the little girl, and said to May and Cyber, "I don't know if it's a delusion, I always feel that she is like my daughter, but my husband and I have never had children before, but I really like her." ”
As she spoke, the lady's eyes suddenly turned red, and the tears couldn't stop flowing, she stretched out her hand to try to stop the tears, but she couldn't stop it, it could be seen that Mrs. Pride was also puzzled by this situation, she wiped her face in embarrassment,
"What's wrong with me, why am I crying? I feel like I've lost the most important thing in my life... Ah, I'm sorry, I lost my temper. ”
Looking at Mrs. Pride who was hurriedly wiping her tears, Catherine snorted, her tears couldn't hold back, she cried while holding Mrs. Pride, the snacks in her hands were scattered all over the ground, and the two beauties, one big and one small, couldn't cry at the door of this villa, making May and Cyber feel helpless.
Finally Cyber and Agent May looked at each other, he thought about it, bent down, soothed Catherine, who was crying, and said to Mrs. Pryde, who was touching the scene,
"I see that Catherine and you are also very close to each other, in fact, after she was born, our parents left us because of an accident, she usually lives with her grandfather in Gotham, Mei Yuan and I work in the Big Apple, and we don't have much time to take care of her on weekdays, this child's personality is a little autistic, I have never seen her so close to a person, if I can, Mrs. Pryde, can I take the liberty of wishing you to become Catherine's godmother?"
This sentence made Mrs. Pride wipe her tears, and she looked at Chen Ken's Cyber in surprise, driven by a certain impulse surging in her heart, she did not even suspect the thought-provoking reasons behind this bizarre request, as if her thinking had been forcibly reversed at this moment.
It's like the mind encountering an invisible "wormhole" and being directly led to another aspect.
The blonde-haired Mrs. Pride hugged Catherine tightly with both hands, and looked nervously and expectantly at Seber and May,
"Is that okay? Can I really have such a lovely girl as my daughter?"
Cyber looked at Catherine, the little girl's little brain was undoubtedly unable to deal with such a complicated problem, so he nodded, "Of course, we just need to call her grandfather and talk about it, believe me, that's a kind person, he will agree." ”
May gave him a look, and Cyber took a few steps to make the call, and then saw Mrs. Pride grab her phone and shout to the other side,
"You're coming back, we're going to have a daughter, what? To hell with your goddamn work, I'm only giving you 30 minutes!Ah, I can't wait to hear her call me Mommy, come back!"
The voice was full of strange joy, but when it fell on Cyber's ear, it became a clear proof of some mysterious force, and he couldn't help but gasp,
"Professor Charles... He can really do it to this extent!"
"But it seems that he still can't hide the mood swings of the human being, otherwise she wouldn't be so close to Catherine whom she has "never met", and I can even feel her struggle at the level of will." ”
"But the strength of ordinary people can't compete with Professor Charles, unless the professor takes the initiative to help her recover, Mrs. Pride can only get along with Catherine as a godmother for the rest of her life. ”
Agent May sighed, she sighed, and then looked at Cyber,
"As for you, what's the matter with this request? Are you still planning to involve two ordinary people in the mutant affair?"
"Rest assured, my Agent May, I'm just doing my best to reunite the little girl and the Prydes. ”
Cyber shook his hand indifferently, "The two of us will eventually go back to Gotham, the only difference is that the little girl has two more relatives in New York, and it won't affect your work, will it?"
"I hope so. ”
May nodded, and she turned her head suspiciously to look at Catherine and Mrs. Pryde, who were having a good conversation.
"Mrs. Pryde's emotions are emotional, and it will be up to Mr. Pride to deal with this contingency. ”
"I think it's going to go well. ”
"If Professor Charles is really as mysterious and powerful as you say, then he will never leave such a loophole, I suspect that Mr. Pride has the same wormhole in his mind, once it comes to Catherine's little girl, his mind will enter a very emotional state like his wife." ”
Mei glared at him and snorted,
"You have faith in him. ”
Saiber didn't reply, but looked at the empty streets, "Let's wait and see, I'd love to see what Professor Charles can do?"
15 minutes later, under the observation of Cyber and May, the fact turned out to be as Cyber guessed, the slightly chubby Mr. Pride at the moment of seeing Catherine, should have been a shrewd and cautious character, as if there was a 360° deflection, like his wife who had cried into tears, with vivid and delicate feelings, caring for Catherine who met for the first time.
After hearing that he could become Catherine's godfather, the gentleman excitedly thanked Cyber and May, and driven by an irrepressible impulse in his heart, the couple burst out with unparalleled execution, and two hours later, in a small church in Brooklyn, under the witness of the unique faith of the Jews, the red-faced Prydes officially became the godfather and godmother of Catherine Kyle Hawke.
Everything went unbelievably well, Cyber and May sat on the chairs of the chapel, they were the only witnesses to this dream-like ceremony, the two of them sat on the chairs of the chapel, looking at the solemnity with a touch of emotion in the ceremony, May's silence is unknown, but Cyberber's silence is undoubtedly because he really felt the magical power of Professor Charles, who had never met before.
Memory and perception, which are the two most basic aspects of human existence, if they can be smeared and modified at will, then the meaning of the existence of a living body as a human identity seems a little too illusory, or is this existence itself meaningless?
"If he wants, he can fill the mind of a 17-year-old child with all the memories of an elite soldier in an instant, and even copy it, and in less than 1 month he will have a well-trained army. ”
Cyber's voice was so low that only he and May could hear,
"Even more terrifying, if he wants, at least the ordinary people of the whole New York will revere him as a king, or even a "god", and a feudal religious kingdom in the 21st century will be born in an instant, May, I'm actually curious, how do you restrain this power that shouldn't exist?"
"We don't restrict. ”
Agent May's answer was blunt,
"Beings like Charles or Eric are unstoppable, and in the last century, the Ministry of Defense spent an unimaginable cost to build a prison for Eric that was entirely made of plastic, 200 meters underground, but just because a guard had too much iron in his body, that prison was breached from the inside, and after that incident, we gave up the idea of restraining them. ”
"Just as I told you, we will also tell Charles that if he uses his power wantonly, we will fight back, and the result of the counterattack is that both sides will lose, and he can continue to be the king he wants in the scorched earth, ruling over countless undead souls wandering in the land of death, don't doubt it, Cyber, S.H.I.E.L.D. has this strength, and no leader in his right mind will take this risk. ”
Unsatisfied with this answer, Cyber adjusted his sitting position and turned his head to look at the expressionless Agent May,
"And what about Eric, Magneto and his brotherhood, will they obey your laws as well?"
Mei moved her ten fingers,
"They don't comply. ”
"So as soon as the Brotherhood shows up, it will be attacked from all directions, Magneto's ability is very strong, on the battlefield where he appears, we are always at the touch of a button, but he is not a god, in the war with them, we are the dominant side, not to mention..."
The cold and frosty beauty agent stretched her beautiful posture,
What's more, Professor Charles, who advocates "peaceful coexistence", will not allow Eric to destroy everything agreed, and the very existence of both of them is the best counterbalance to the opponent. ”
"Oh oh oh... I'm looking forward to meeting Professor Charles more and more. ”
Cyber grinned, stood up, and opened his arms to Catherine who ran towards him, and he grinned and rubbed the little girl's head, and asked in a low voice,
"How's it going? How do you get along with your parents?"
Catherine shook her head, but a child would not hide his emotions, and the smile on her face said everything.
"I don't know why they forgot about me, but now they're still my parents, I still call them Mom and Dad, they still love me, I can feel it, thank you, Cyber!"
The young man laughed, and after laughing, he blinked his eyes, looked at Catherine, and put his hands on her shoulders,
"So, will you go back to Gotham with me?"
This time, Catherine did not hesitate, she nodded vigorously, she looked back at the Prydes who prayed to the priest, her godfather and godmother, she looked back, this little girl who had experienced the darkest year in the world knew more than her peers.
"Mom and Dad, they're going to have a baby, and they've forgotten everything about me, I don't know why, but I'm not very sad, they're still my mom and dad, aren't they? I'll go back to Gotham with you, I miss Dad, and Brother Robin, anyway, I want to come to New York to play, you'll all agree, right?"
Cyber smiled dumbly, the little girl in front of him obviously regarded all this as a game, but it was okay, the father really liked Catherine, and the old man preferred the company of children, and when it came to it, Cyber felt that he should also be grateful to the masked Professor Charles.
He gave the Prides a new life, a chance to say goodbye to the past, and most importantly, he would not lose his little sister, and his father would have his own little granddaughter.
Perfect handling, superb intelligence, Cyber patted Catherine on the shoulder and gave her a push,
"Go, go and accompany your parents, you can stay here for the next few days, and when it's time to leave, Sister Mei will come to pick you up." ”
"Thank you, Cyber!"
The little girl took advantage of Cyber's inattention, pecked the young man's face, and then ran to the happy Pride couple with a smile, tired of being coquettish beside them, and suddenly, the whole chapel was filled with the child's sunny smile.
Cyber waved goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Pryde, and he walked out of the church side by side with May, whispering,
"Arrange it for me, I want to meet Mr. Charles as soon as possible. ”
