"Pah!" Angela felt excited, immediately hung up the phone, and anxiously asked the girl who was still playing with the orange cat: "Lorna, you said you smashed a factory before, how long ago was that?"

"Well, it seems like it's been less than two months."

"Go, go quickly, come back when I call you"

"Hey, what the hell happened?"

However, before Angela pushed Lorna to the door, a tall and muscular figure pushed the door directly in.

"Dr. Ziegler" The man with an extremely serious expression stood there, blocking the door tightly.

"Mr. Fury" Angela pulled Lorna into her arms and raised her head to confirm the man's identity.

"Who is this Professor Moody?" Lorna stared at the man's one-eyed patch and turned her head to ask Angela quietly.

"Don't panic, Lorna, I'm here." Angela responded in a low voice, then grinned and asked the man with a fake smile: "Mr. Fury, are you the Flash? You arrived just a few seconds after we finished the call. "

"As I said just now, I was looking for him all over the world and happened to pass by here." Fury raised his hand and knocked the cat in Lorna's arms on the forehead. The little orange cat also meowed and raised his hand to fiddle with it. Fury's fingers.

"Oh, are you his owner?" Lorna happily raised the cat to Fury, "What's his name?"

"His name is Gugu."

"Guguhahaha, that's so interesting. Why did you name him a goose?"

Seeing Lorna getting closer to Fury, Angela quickly pulled her back to her side and took a few steps back with her.

"I can't pretend anymore." Angela learned to make her expression as serious as Fury's, "Let's make things clear. Mr. Fury, you called me doctor on the phone, which means you knew about me from the beginning. , you don’t even mean to hide it. You must be from SHIELD like Agent Coulson. Are you his subordinate? Did he send you to spy on me?"

"What do you mean I'm his?" Fury's expression finally changed. He took out his phone and pressed a button, then said loudly to the person on the other end of the phone: "Colson, give it to me right now. Come here, are you reporting that the mentally ill doctor is not a mutant?"

One of Fury's eyes was filled with anger, listening to the hesitant explanation coming from the phone, and then interrupted: "Colson, I'm not doubting you, I just want to tell the mutant in me The detector is alarming, so it must be because there is someone else in this room who is a mutant." Putting away his phone, Fury slowly turned his head to Lorna, his direct eyes even more penetrating than the venomous snake yesterday.

"Lorna, trust me, calm down, calm down." Feeling Lorna's body shaking slightly in her arms, Angela whispered to Lorna, holding her tighter with both hands.After gentle comfort, Angela heard Lorna's heartbeat gradually calm down.

"I remembered you, Miss Dane." Fury's expression was no longer fierce, but he still maintained a stern and arrogant look.He turned his attention to other things in the store and walked away as if he didn't care. As he walked, he said: "I'm sorry, I just remembered it now. I usually just glance at such small things. You caused a lot of harm to me six weeks ago." The innocent factory manager was almost fired. It took us a long time to investigate before we were able to determine that it was not a premeditated attack but a simple teenage girl throwing a tantrum."

"So you also know that everything is a misunderstanding, Mr. Agent." Angela's eyes were still alert, "Lorna will not be severely punished, right? We can compensate for the damaged equipment. By the way, there are other people injured. Can I also help take care of them?"

"Dr. Ziegler, did you know she is a mutant?" Fury picked up a cat teasing stick and looked at it carefully.

"I know." Angela put Lorna's head on her shoulder, "This child is very honest and will not lie to me."

However, Lorna struggled away and looked at Angela with squinted eyes with a puzzled and slightly disgusted expression.

"Mutants caused you to lose your promising job, but you still took them in." Fury shook the cat teaser and walked towards the two people who were chatting.

"Are you kidding me? Was it Lorna who attacked me, Mr. Agent?"

"of course not."

"Then why should I reject this cute and helpless girl?" Lorna had some inconvenience holding the cat, and was finally pulled into Angela's arms.

"Even if it is really her, I will still take her in." Angela said to Fury with a smile, but Lorna covered her face with Gugu, as if she couldn't afford to be embarrassed.

"Why?" Fury stood still in front of the two people.

"People need a reason to harm others, but do they need a reason to help others, Mr. Agent?"

"Hmph, I have indeed seen a lot of people who harm others for no reason. That is pure evil. And I don't think this is the first time I heard what you said. I remembered that this is not a juvenile sentence. A line from a detective cartoon?"

"Pfft" Lorna suddenly made a strange sound, then squatted down with the cat in her arms and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I can't help it anymore. I can't help it. People of this age are still watching Conan before he hurt you. Pretending to be serious, I won’t even watch it now.”

However, Fury's expression did not change at all. He waited for Lorna's voice to lower and then poked Gugu's head with his finger and said, "It's not me who sees it, it's him who sees it. I just hear a few words occasionally."

"Pfft." This time it was Angela who interrupted Fury. She covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Your cat watches TV or suspense dramas. Mr. Agent, I need to remind you that the cat's IQ is very low. Maybe you should give it to him." look"

"Meow~" Gugu suddenly roared. He jumped up from Lorna's arms, scratched Angela's shoulder with a paw, and then landed smoothly.

"Angela, are you okay?" Lorna quickly checked Angela's wound. She gently stroked the three very abrupt blood marks on the fat of her slim arm, turned to Fury bitterly and said, "Black Moody, you It’s a shame that Angela doesn’t have a single mole or scar all over her body.”

Angela, however, retracted her arms and squinted at Lorna with a puzzled and slightly disgusted expression.

"Haha, it seems that Gugu likes you very much." Fury's expression finally stopped being serious.

"Does your cat like people this much, Mr. Agent?" Angela didn't care about the wound on her left arm at all. She raised her head and joked to Fury, "Did he also scratch your eyes?"

After saying this, Angela stared at Fury's face intently, wanting to see what this hardcore agent would look like after someone else guessed the secret.However, just at this moment, another sound of wind chimes rang, and Fury turned back to look at the door, avoiding Angela's gaze.

"Colson, you came just in time." Fury called to the man who had just stepped into the store. "You asked me to stop monitoring Dr. Ziegler, and I agreed. As a result, look at the situation now. What was expected?”

"Sir, what's the problem?" Coulson nodded hesitantly to Angela and then walked towards Fury, "You said you met mutants here"

"Do you remember the case you investigated at Stark's military factory not long ago?" Fury motioned to Coulson to look at the girl next to Angela.

"Lorna Dane" Coulson's eyes widened, his tone full of surprise.

"Two agents" Angela stepped forward and stood in front of Lorna, "You have already known through the investigation that Lorna did not do it on purpose, and as I just said, we are willing to compensate for any losses, Phil, you are the most Okay, please tell me Lorna will not be subject to criminal penalties, can you?"

Coulson looked at Angela's pleading eyes, took a breath, turned sideways and lowered his head to Fury and said: "Director, the maintenance cost of those machine tools may not even be worth a dinner for Tony Stark, and I promise that it will be absolutely No one was injured."

"You don't need to remind me, Agent Coulson." Fury suddenly raised his voice, "If anyone here had lost a hair, I would have called Hill over."

"Phil called you director, you are the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in your land?" Angela hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt Fury's reprimand to Coulson.

"Yes, it's me"

"Well, Director Fury, from what you just said, the fact that you haven't called Agent Hill over yet proves that we still have room for negotiation, right?"

"Are you Miss Dane's guardian, Dr. Ziegler?"

"No I'm not" Angela shook her head in panic.

"Then even if we discuss it, it's not a discussion with you, is it?" Fury ignored Angela and turned his head to give an order to Coulson: "Put the cat away. People from the overall situation have been looking for it all night. We can't let it go anymore." It's lost."

"No, I don't want it. Director, please call Agent Hill over." Coulson looked down at Gugu, who was playing with the cat-teasing stick hanging on the ground in Fury's hand, and shook his head firmly.

"If you say no again, I will demote you back to level 6." Fury glared at Coulson.

"What are you afraid of? Phil will not eat you." Angela asked Colson with interest.

"That's impossible to say." Colson squatted down, picked up the cat with difficulty, and then straightened his arms to try to keep it as far away from him as possible.

"You people are really weird." Lorna played with her long hair and looked at Colson who was posing in a strange pose. "It takes a lot of effort to even find a little orange cat. Could it be that Gugu comes from outer space?" Monster?"

"Miss Dane" Fury coughed twice, walked around Angela and walked towards Lorna, "If I remember correctly, your birthday is March 1988, 3."

"Why do I feel uncomfortable having your birthday remembered?" Lorna's eyes were fixed on Fury.

"So I remembered correctly, you were born two years after the Chernobyl incident."

"What do you mean"

"What I mean is that the probability that you are a naturally occurring mutant is very low. Your mutant abilities should be inherited from the previous generation."

"My parents were ordinary people," Lorna suddenly said loudly and excitedly, her hands surrounded by dark green fluorescence. "They died in a plane crash. It was Aunt Dan who raised me from childhood to adulthood."

"Lorna, calm down." Angela hurriedly ran over and hugged Lorna, turned to Fury and shouted: "What on earth do you mean, Director Fury?"

However, Fury ignored Angela and still stared at Lorna with his only remaining eye, and even emphasized his tone: "In 1963, he assassinated Kennedy; in 1973, he tried to assassinate Nixon in front of the whole world; In 1983, he was one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse event."

"That's enough, that's enough. Don't say it anymore. He's not my father. He's not my father." Lorna held her head and shouted loudly, causing various objects in the entire store to shake up and down.The frequent metal collisions became more and more harsh, and things even fell from the shelves to the ground, as if an earthquake had struck.

"Lorna, I'm here, don't be afraid." Angela hugged Lorna tightly, buried her head in her chest, and released a subtle ray of light from the hand hidden behind Lorna's back.The Phoenix Power was injected into Lorna's brain along her spine, and finally, the disturbing noises around her gradually stopped.

"Relax, relax, Lorna. No one here will hurt you." Angela comforted Lorna, who had calmed down but her eyes were still frightened. She looked at Fury dissatisfied, and her tone was full of indignation: "Director Fury, I still retain the last bit of respect for you because I just saw Phil's admiration for you from his eyes. But now I don't know why someone who wantonly stimulates a little girl will gain Phil's respect. , you owe us an explanation."

"I don't need to explain anything to you. Dr. Ziegler, for the sake of public safety, I naturally have my own considerations." Fury stood there, still looking neither happy nor upset.

"Huh, I can guess it without you explaining. You are afraid that Lorna has inherited his biological father's mental state and is hostile to ordinary humans, so you deliberately make her uncomfortable and make her lose control and attack you. Isn't that right? I'm so sorry for this. If you didn't succeed this time, how will you try to place a sniper directly across the street and shoot into the store next time?"

"Angela, we won't do that" Coulson stepped forward to try to comfort, but Fury glared back.

"Phil, I really think you should be the director of SHIELD, not this snapping turtle."

"what do you call me"

"There is a small nucleus under the hippocampus on the inner side of the temporal lobe of the brain." Angela ignored Fury this time and continued to talk to herself: "Its name is habenula. As the name suggests, it is human The reins of behavior are the amplifiers of negative signals and the alert center of the brain. When people receive negative feedback from the outside world, it will guide people to produce emotions such as fear and tension, allowing the brain to make a more comprehensive assessment of the current situation. This will then lead people to behave accordingly to avoid possible risks.”

"Are you comparing us to this so-called vigilance center, Dr. Ziegler?"

"Don't call me Doctor again," Angela finally responded to Fury, and then went on to tell her own point of view, "This series of warning mechanisms plays an unparalleled role like the brain's reward mechanism. However, it can both play and A running child slowing down when encountering a wire blocking the road can also cause world-renowned and successful writers, artists, and scientists to give up the enviable life of others and end their own lives. When the nerves in the habenula When the element is over-excited and discharges in clusters like a Gatling gun endlessly, people will no longer feel happy and will gradually develop a tendency to self-destruct. If your SHIELD is the vigilance center of this country, then you The current director is an abnormal state and an overreacting habenula. It is not Lorna who is out of control, it is you, Fury, who is out of control. One day, your habit of over-amplifying negative information will lead to a devastating disaster."

"Angela, don't say that." Coulson took another step forward, but this time he was not blocked by Fury. "Please listen to me explain, this is a stress test. Remember the day I first met you and said... Did you say that? We want to test you without you being prepared, because we need to see if you meet our recruitment requirements. The same is true for Miss Dane this time. I put the military factory accident When the report was presented to the director's desk, he told me that Miss Dane has a moral sense of right and wrong and will not cross the line that harms other people's lives. SHIELD will give her the highest priority in recruiting her."

"They said they wanted you to join them, would you?" Angela interrupted Phil and asked Lorna, looking down.

"No" Lorna shook her head in Angela's arms and responded in a low voice, with tears still in the corners of her eyes.

"You heard her answer, Phil, and Snapping Turtle," Angela glanced at Fury, who couldn't tell what he was thinking, "Oh, by the way, I also remembered one thing. It was 73 years ago. It's been a long time since the Sentinel incident, and more and more details are being revealed. A while ago I read online that the infamous Trask invented the mutant detector, and its genetic navigation system can target mutants within half a mile. People. However, Fury only discovered Lorna when he walked into this store. I think it must be because the government can no longer build mutant detectors after Trask's death. What you have in your hands are leftover products from decades ago. , now they are not as sensitive as before. Even if a mutant cooperates with you, you will not be unable to repair them. Am I reasoning correctly? Philona is the first one you met. Mutant, I don’t dare let her come to work for you alone.”

"" Coulson was silent for a long time. He rolled his eyes and kept looking at Fury, "Sir, boss, director."

"Agent Coulson, let's go." Fury finally stopped being silent, "We found the cat, there is no need to waste time on Stark's meal money."

"Also, Ziegler," Fury suddenly looked back after taking two steps, "I need to correct you. SHIELD is not just serving this country."

Fury snatched the fluffy orange object from Coulson's hand and strode toward the store door.

"That 10 yuan?" Angela shouted over when she saw that Fury was still holding the jingling cat teasing stick in his hand.

"Ding" Lorna's cell phone rang in her pocket. Angela took it out and saw a text message indicating that the bank had received $10.

"How did he do it?" Angela transferred the money without seeing any unnecessary action from Fury, and was amazed.When she raised her head, she saw that Coulson was still there.

"Did I scare you, Phil?" Angela smiled happily, "Don't be surprised, many people have praised my reasoning ability."

"Why did you," Colson asked Angela in a low voice, "called the director a snapping turtle?"

"Haha" Angela laughed louder, "If you are lucky enough one day, you will know, Phil. By the way, do you want to stay for supper?"

"No. Goodbye, Angela, Miss Dane."

"Okay, they're all gone, you don't have to pretend anymore." Angela let go of Lorna and pinched her nose.

"Did it be your ability that calmed me down just now, Angela?" Lorna no longer felt the pain and sadness just now, she smiled brightly and her eyes were shining brightly.

"how do you feel"

"It's so amazing. I feel like a 150-watt light bulb has been implanted in my brain. The light chases every thought in my heart. I feel that everything in the world is worth getting close to. Everyone's mistakes They all deserve to be forgiven, I don’t even hate him anymore Angela, will I always be like this?”

"No, Lorna. I just accidentally discovered that when I cast light, my mood would become particularly happy, but it was only temporary, and my mentality would soon return to its original state. What I just cast on you It's the same ability. Lorna, I don't want you to rely on my ability to be happy. You will find the answers you want on your own, slowly let go, and come to terms with your destiny."

"My destiny, Angela, I admit to you that my biological father is the terrorist even more notorious than Trask. I think my abnormal mental state is also inherited from him. He has not brought me any favors." , but you still dare to abandon me."

"Everyone in the world knows that Magneto played a very key role in the war with Apocalypse. Although people don't know the real reason why he betrayed Apocalypse, I think he must have changed his ways in the end. Lorna, you also discovered, Fu I didn't tell the truth when Rui asked me why I wanted to take you in. Now I'll tell you what I really think. People occasionally stumble and lose their way, but it doesn't mean they will be lost forever. Sometimes we just need someone to help. Your father He must have figured out who was the person who could really help him in the end, and maybe he figured out that it was not that he betrayed Apocalypse, but that he had been betraying the X-Men before, and he made the right choice of where he belonged."

"My father belongs to the Justice The injury was healed, but I felt very uncomfortable."

"Don't you think it would be cool to have a few more scars?" Angela showed off the three scratch marks on her upper arm to Lorna.

"No, you should be flawless." Lorna wiped hard on the paw prints, as if she wanted to wipe them away.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Angela activated her ability, skillfully not even looking at it this time. The blood marks disappeared immediately, and the skin on the deltoid muscles was as smooth as before.

"It's so amazing that I don't get tired of watching it no matter how many times. By the way, when I was a kid, I was playful and scratched my inner thigh with a broken lamp stick, leaving a scar. Can you help me get rid of it?"

"I'm happy to oblige, my lady, sit on the chair." Angela cast her magical "healing spell" on Lorna, and suddenly thought of a question, "Lorna, how do you know that I don't have a mole on my body?" I didn’t even notice it myself.”

"Angela, I've always wanted to ask, what is this pink chicken on the screen of your phone?" Lorna fiddled with Angela's n95 and talked about him.

"That pink chicken is Pichumon?" Angela noticed that Lorna was deliberately hiding something, but she didn't intend to go into detail on this trivial issue. "Have you not seen Digimon? Have you not seen that cartoon? No amount of animation is in vain.”

"What baby is too childish? I won't look at it. By the way, I got a call just now when I was walking. A woman who claimed to be Dr. Palmer said she would come to the store to see you this weekend."

"Yeah, that's great."

"who is she"

"Her full name is Christine Palmer, and she was the resident who taught me when I was an intern at the hospital."

"Do the doctors from your hospital just call you little angel when they come here?"

"Of course not, she is also my best friend Lorna, what is your expression?"

"Nothing, I'm going to bed"

"Lorna, don't think too much about today. Although I just told Fury, I still trust them. In fact, so far they have been offering us an olive branch, and we have rejected it, right? "

"Don't worry, I'm not thinking about them."

"Is that Kristen's business? Lorna, you can call me that too, I don't mind."

"Go to hell, who can say such a disgusting name?"

Seeing that Lorna was as arrogant as ever, Angela was not as at ease as usual.She clearly felt that the many sorrows and sorrows deep in Lorna's heart could not be solved by her own company.
