Chapter 18: Christmas
Anna readily agreed, she had been alone for two Christmases, and it would be nice to be able to spend Christmas with Bucky this year.
Bucky started the car again, and it was not too early, and he drove towards Wade's house with Anna.
"Anna, how did you find out about your mutant identity?" Bucky asked the question he'd been wanting to ask.
Generally speaking, mutants will be very careful to hide their identity, and a mutant like Anna, who looks like an ordinary person on the outside, should not easily reveal her mutant identity unless she actively uses her abilities. And judging from Anna's various performances, Bucky doesn't look like the kind of girl who will show off her mutant abilities, so she asked this question.
"One day more than a month ago, I was in a car accident on the road and a car hit me, and I subconsciously used my ability to avoid injury. However, I was not proficient in the manipulation of abilities, and I was unable to reclaim my abilities in time, and was discovered by many passers-by, so my mutant identity was exposed. ”
Anna said, reaching out to Bucky, and the originally weak and white jade hand gradually turned into a crystal clear diamond. Bucky looked at Anna and saw that Anna was now covered in the shape of diamonds, which was so striking in the dimly lit car.
"I call my current appearance a diamond state, and my body will be very hard at this time, and I have not been injured in a car accident because of my diamond state."
Bucky looked at Anna, who had turned into a diamond in front of him, and had some guesses about Anna's identity.
In the movie Wolverine 1, Wolverine's wife, Kayla the Silver Fox, has a younger sister who can be diamond-transformed, but Kayla's last name and her sister's name are not mentioned in the movie, and Bucky is not sure if Anna is the girl. Bucky wanted to ask Anna about her sister, but it was obviously not a good day, and Bucky didn't want Anna to think about the sad things during the holidays.
"Brother, what's wrong, did I scare you?" Anna was a little uneasy, she could remember the horror in their eyes that day when she showed her diamond-turning abilities in front of them.
Bucky came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Why, I'm just amazed at how beautiful you are now." ”
Bucky was right, Anna is very beautiful now, and she is like a perfect work of art with a diamond all over her body, which makes people marvel.
"I thought your abilities were spiritual, but when I looked into your eyes before, I felt like my whole soul was going to be sucked in by your eyes."
"I don't know what's going on, since ten days ago, I've noticed that occasionally people freeze when they look at me, and I don't know why." Anna explained, and it seemed that she didn't know much about her own eyes.
When Bucky discovered that Anna's eyes were abnormal just now, he guessed that Anna's ability should be related to mental power. But Bucky didn't expect that Anna's current ability is the same diamond as the White Queen, but it makes sense to think about it, if Anna really has anything to do with the White Queen, then it is normal to have the same ability as her.
However, the abnormality of Anna's eyes is probably also a mutant ability, but it has not yet been fully awakened, and Anna cannot fully control it. Bucky didn't expect that the first mutant he encountered when he came to the Marvel world was a rare secondary mutant.
"Your eyes should also be a type of your ability, but they haven't completely mutated yet, and you can't control them yet. I didn't expect my sister to be a mutant with a second mutation, but she is much stronger than me! Bucky complimented with a smile.
Hearing Bucky's compliment, Anna blushed a little, but her heart was still extremely happy. Since her mutant identity was revealed, all she felt was the fearful and distant attitude of others, and it was the first time that someone praised her mutant ability.
It was past eight o'clock when Bucky drove Anna to Wade's house, a little late, but Bucky was sure Wade wouldn't mind.
Knocking on Wade's door, he heard a rush of footsteps coming from inside the house, and soon the door was opened, and Wade appeared in the door with a mask.
"Dude, you're finally here, you know what, I'm going to starve!" Wade complained when he saw that it was Bucky, who had been waiting for him for a long time.
Bucky smiled and patted Wade on the shoulder and said, "This is strange, two bullets in the head can't kill you, and you will starve to death?" ”
At this time, Vanessa's voice came from the room: "Wade, why don't you bring the guests in quickly!" ”
Wade opened the door and was about to take Bucky into the house, only to find Anna following Bucky, and asked with a smile, "Bucky, is this a beautiful girl?" ”
Listening to Wade's lewd voice, Bucky knew that this guy was definitely not thinking about anything good, and ignored Wade, took Anna into the house and said to Vanessa, "Merry Christmas!" This is my sister, Anna, you don't mind if she comes to eat too, do you? ”
"Of course we don't mind, it's too late for us to welcome!" Vanessa said with a smile.
Bucky and Anna sat down under Vanessa's guidance, and saw Wade put a plate of oversized roast turkey on the table, and said suspiciously to Bucky, "Bucky, aren't you already in your seventies, how can you still have such a young sister?" Tell me how your parents take care of you and give birth to a sister when you're in your fifties! ”
Bucky's face darkened, he had indeed told Wade about his origin and being frozen by Hydra, but he had never admitted that he was in his seventies. I was even more annoyed that Wade was still saying in front of Anna that his parents were well-maintained and that he could have a sister born in his fifties, which would lead to bad children.
"Wade!" Vanessa saw that what Wade said was a little meaty, and pinched the soft flesh on Wade's waist, and then said: "How can you speak, how can you say such meat words in front of Anna." ”
Wade pretended to be in unbearable pain and screamed, immediately amusing Anna, who was still a little embarrassed just now.
At the dinner table, Bucky briefly introduced Anna's background to Wade and Vanessa, which made Vanessa, who also experienced an unhappy childhood, sympathetic, and decided on the spot that if anyone couldn't get along with Anna in the future, they would have trouble with her Vanessa.
Listening to Vanessa's decision, Wade pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "This chick will be covered by Bucky in the future, and you can't afford to mess with anyone who can't get along with her!" ”
Vanessa, who underestimated and provoked this sentence, was so angry that she cleaned up Wade fiercely.
Bucky understands that Wade has been eaten to death by Vanessa, and in this family, Vanessa will definitely be in charge in the future.
At the end of the meal, the guests and the hosts were happy, and at ten o'clock Bucky took Anna to leave. Bucky is not worried that Anna will continue to live in the slums, and he will take her back to the place where she lived before to clean up and move to Bucky's house tonight.
Anna blushed when she said this decision, and just lowered her head and played with her fingers, without saying a word. Wade, on the other hand, looked at Bucky with suspicion for a long time, as if asking if this was really just his sister.
When sending Bucky and Anna out the door, Vanessa smiled, while Wade was a little sad and sad, for the simple reason that Bucky gave away the wedding gift he bought for the two of them. Vanessa is pleased with the gloves that Bucky gave her, but Wade is quite critical of the kitchen knives, and it is clear that Wade does not like to be a family cook, and he prefers to chop people to chop vegetables.
"Wade, don't go wash the dishes quickly, you know, washing dishes is not good for the skin, anyway, you have the ability to regenerate, you don't care, the task of washing the dishes will be handed over to you in the future."
As Bucky descended the stairs, he could still hear Vanessa's voice and look at Anna and laugh out loud.
That night, Anna spent her first night at Bucky's house, and of course, nothing happened, Bucky stayed in a villa and some in a guest room.
However, Anna couldn't sleep for half a day, since her sister's disappearance, her life has been very difficult, in the metropolis of New York, it is not easy for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl to support herself, and Anna has never lived in such a comfortable room since moving to the slums. Thinking about everything that happened today, Anna is still in a dream, and she only feels that it is good to have someone to rely on.
The next day, December 25, Christmas, which is also the day Wade and Vanessa got married, Bucky takes Anna to church early.
Today's Vanessa is wearing a white wedding dress, which looks very noble and beautiful. And Wade is a little strangely dressed, he didn't wear his red uniform, a neat suit made him look very energetic, if it wasn't for the funny mask on his face, he must be a handsome guy.
Wade's mask was obviously custom-made, the same as the mask on his Deadpool uniform, it was a mask that wrapped his head entirely, but the front of this all-white mask actually printed Wade's face before his disfigurement. The originally handsome face was printed on the mask, and then supported by Wade's face, and it was suddenly deformed, which was full of funny meaning.
However, Wade cared about his image, and chatted with the guests who came with Erlang's legs crossed, but he still didn't let out a happy laugh, and he didn't look like a groom official at all.
However, Bucky can understand that most of the guests here today are mercenaries who have hung out at the Margaret sisters' pub, and most of these mercenaries are raunchy. It's like the fat Gandalf Buck, who is chatting with Wade now, has not cleaned up his white beard, and Bucky can still see a spaghetti left over from a few days ago.
Vanessa put on the posture of a hostess, beckoning the guests around, looking at the time from time to time, looking a little impatient.
It was almost noon when Vanessa dragged Wade out of the crowd, and it was the wedding that began.
The wedding was simple, with no receptions, no flower girls, and no elders for the couple. Wade and Vanessa walked to the stage under the guidance of Bucky, the witness, and after a brief speech, they exchanged rings and completed the wedding.
Of course, the group of mercenaries in the audience didn't let the couple go so easily, they all took out bottles of champagne, shook them and sprayed them on the stage, even with Bucky.
"Wade, what are your plans after you get married?" Bucky's suit was drenched with champagne in an instant, and he no longer dodged it, letting the champagne spray on his body.
"I'm going to walk around with Vanessa, it's my honeymoon, I've rented a yacht and maybe I'll walk around the coastlines of the United States and Canada before I head to South America."
