The Katherine's voice appeared so abruptly that Cyber himself was taken aback.
He turned his head back suddenly, and 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 looked insomnia. A little panic that was not easy to find.
Cyber breathed a sigh of relief, maybe because he was thinking too seriously about the problem just now, so he did n’t find the little girl approaching, he beckoned towards Katherine, the little girl came to him and sat on the sofa beside him, She secretly looked at the Cyber's expression with the corners of her eyes, and she didn't find anything unusual, she let out a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, a big hand fell on her head, messing up her neatly combed hair, Katherine exploded like a kitten, and then heard Cyber with mischief The problem of taste,
"Sneak to see what I am doing? Little Katherine, what are you going to tell me?"
The little girl tangled her fingers, and even Cyber did n’t care about the mess of her hair. She looked at Cyber a little shyly and shyly, but she secretly plucked up her courage, but she was talking. At that time, he lowered his voice again, just like a small animal being bullied,
"Cyber, do you believe in superpowers in this world?"
"Uh?"
Cyber is a bit flustered, what is the problem?
But when he thinks about the girl ’s age, he suddenly realizes that this young kid does n’t like to be cranky, maybe it ’s the girl ’s doubt about what movie she saw?
Thinking of this, Cyber suddenly felt that he was responsible, and he had 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 those with superpowers?"
The expression on the face of the little girl is richer. She grabbed her finger and asked more seriously, "Do you like them?"
"Uh ..."
This question asked Cyber again, he scratched his head,
"How to say, if they do n’t come to provoke me, I do n’t think it matters. If their superpowers are interesting and they ’re not bad guys, maybe I will like them."
The expression on Katherine's face is more abundant. She just stood up from the sofa and looked at Cyber with great anticipation.
"Then do you hate me? Cyber."
This problem made Cyber laugh out of nowhere. He stretched out his hand, grabbed the little girl ’s slightly chubby face, and gently pulled his left hand outward,
"Are you saying you hate you? Little girl, what's going on tonight, always talking about these messes ..."
"Om"
Cyber felt that his hands holding Katherine's ’s small face shook gently, and then Katherine standing in front of him disappeared with a naughty smile.
No ... not disappeared, but the whole person fell into the ground ... the real "melt" into it, as if it fell into the black water, he can even see the Katherine face under the floor s hair.
It's like playing a game with him!
But the game made Cyber cold hair stand upright, he all stood up from the sofa, pinched the back of his hand for the first time, confirmed the pain, confirmed that this is not a dream, he began nervously looking around Katherine's trace, under dim light, all this is so unreal.
The previous three questions of the little girl suddenly connected together, and all doubts of Cyber suddenly disappeared at this moment.
Katherine ... she is what she said to be "super power", this girl ... she is a Mutant(s)!
Cyber turned his head, no smile on his face, no ease, his expression fell into the eyes of Katherine that appeared from the wall on the other side, the little girl who was originally happy saw this expression, her With red eyes, tears poured out of his eyes.
She has seen this expression many times, and her parents may have ignored her disappearance for this reason. After falling into Gotham and initially panicking, those who were sent to the orphanage were The memory of the administrator's abuse, she is not yet a sound mind, subconsciously believes that these "superpowers" make her unpopular.
She never used it again. Unless it was a critical time, how did a little girl, who was only 9 years old, overturn from the towering walls of the orphanage on a cold rainy night? How did she spend almost a year on the cramped narrow island.
Katherine thinks that Cyber will be the same as everyone else, she will abandon her because of her "different", old man will not accept a monster, she feels cold, even in a warm room, she uses double With his arms around his body, he slowly squatted down and squatted in the corner, trembling like an abandoned beast.
Cyber could n’t help but sigh when he saw this scene. Before he got the gift from Coulson, he also thought he was a freak, almost exactly like the current Katherine, he could almost think of this How much pressure the girl was under to confess to him the "secret" that she carefully maintained.
Perhaps because of Jon, the fat man, Katherine is much more dependent on him than he imagined. He stepped forward, squatted in front of Katherine, reached out and tried to pat her head like before, but Was avoided by the little girl.
The way she avoided it was very strange. When Cyber's reached her hand, her half of her body receded into the wall. Obviously, the expression of Cyber just broke her heart.
Seeing this scene, Cyber was a little helpless. He thought about it, and sat cross-legged in front of Katherine, who was crying with his head down. His left hand was drawn in his pocket, and he drew a dagger. His eyes shook, and then he swiped down. The sharp blade cut his skin. It was not a terrible wound, but the red blood still flowed out.
Cyber blew his teeth, and the sleepy heat in his body was awakened. In Katherine ’s stunned gaze, the small wound slowly hemostasis and healed. After not a long time, it disappeared completely. The silent hall Nothing seemed to happen, but the dozen drops of blood on the floor proved that what Katherine just saw was not an illusion.
Cyber shook his smooth arm in front of Katherine, who had stopped crying, reached out and took a cigarette from his pocket, dangling it on his mouth, he comfortably propped his body back with his arms and swallowed towards the sky He took a smoke ring and looked down at the little girl.
"Fur ... Is it safe now? You little clever ghost, why did n’t you tell me early?"
"I ... I am afraid."
Katherine slowly came out of the wall and there were still tears on her face. She sniffed her nose and said seriously to Cyber,
"Cyber, are you also a super capable person?"
"Is n’t it superpower? The name is very frustrating, OK ..."
Cyber reached out and gently embraced Katherine, rubbing her stubble on her forehead,
"Ah, we have a name called Mutant(s), uh, it sounds more frustrating than that, but you have to remember, Katherine ..."
Little girl sat on Cyber ’s lap and looked at him, Cyber looked up at the night sky outside the window,
"Ah, we are not freaks, we are normal people! Normal people who are stronger than them! By the way, when do you have this ability?"
"A few years ago, once I fell asleep, I dreamed that I could go through the bed, through the wall, and even through the earth. Then when I woke up, I found that I was lying in the basement of my home ..."
Katherine scratched his head, "Maybe that was the reason for that dream. My mother was terrified at that time, and she repeatedly told me that I couldn't tell anyone about it."
"Then what?"
Cyber breathed out the smoke. This was the first time that the little girl took the initiative to tell her story in the past half a month. His problems seemed to remind Katherine of some bad things, but she remained silent for a few seconds. After the clock, continue to say,
"I didn't have that happened for half a year later, until half a year later, once my kitten fell into the sewer. When I rescued it, the neighbor saw it and they said I was a witch. , And then we moved and moved to Brooklyn. Since that day, my father and mother who have been very good to me have changed. I always keep myself in the house, and I ’m afraid I ’m really those people Witch, I heard them cry in the bedroom in the middle of the night, and I knew they still loved me. "
Katherine's's eyes were red again, Cyber grinned, showing a mocking smile,
"Those who point you at you are silly X. Leave them alone, how did you come to Gotham's?"
Katherine's shivered a bit, probably remembering the abuse of fat man Jon. Cyber's patted her left hand on her back before letting her body calm down.
"This is a trip from New York to Toronto. It was a trip for my parents to make me happier. Before I passed my birthday, we went to many places. Gotham is our penultimate stop, and then At the station, my parents and I were lost, and then ... I haven't seen them. "
"Cyber, did they not love me? Did I make them angry?"
Little girl fell into Cyber's's arms, he could feel her inner fear, the fear of being abandoned by loved ones, this feeling is also very familiar with Cyber, he grew up as an orphan, he had more than once Think about the same problem at midnight.
Why did they abandon him?
Is it because of forced life, or because of some weird reason?
Cyber hopes to be the former, but after he grows up, he will stop thinking about these issues. Let him pass the past things. The most important thing for people is to live well now in order to qualify Looking forward to the future.
He pressed the pipe on the floor and gave Katherine a hug. He comforted her and said,
"No, they must be very worried about you, silly girl, don't cry, don't you want to go to New York with me? Let's go find them and give them a surprise, OK?"
"Well! Will you not want me? Cyber?"
"No ... I won't, because we are a class of people, aren't we all freaks they say? How can one freak abandon another freak?"
Cyber was holding Katherine's shoulders with both hands. He sat on the ground and looked at the sobbing little girl. He showed a not-so-good-looking smile, reached out to help her wipe away the tears, and said to her very seriously,
"You, learn to be strong, and tears can't stop the bullets, otherwise what a gentle world this should be ... oh, yes! I said I will give you a gift."
As he said, Cyber took a black pistol from the lining of his clothes and made an exaggerated grimace.
"Dangdang Dangdang!"
He put it seriously between the palms of Katherine's, reached out and let the little girl hold the cold toy that was too big for her, and said to the ignorant little girl with a long heart,
"Weapons, this is probably the most loyal partner in the world. You see, as long as you hold it tight, even if the whole world abandons you, it will silently guard your safety. You are too young, although The ability is very powerful, at least more useful than mine, but it is not enough to protect you, hold it tight, Katherine, when others try to hurt you ... "
Cyber squinted and smiled, smoothed the little girl ’s scattered hair, and whispered in her ear,
"When they tried to hurt you, they killed them ... ca n’t give them the power to hurt you a second time, you know, this world is too dangerous, too cold, it does n’t even want to give us even a little more Love, so we must learn to love ourselves, remember? "
"Is it like treating fat Jon?"
"Yes! That's it!"
"Well, I remember!"
