[Zhongyingmei] I don't want to save you today

Iris is gone.

Everyone thought she just overslept, or stayed in the room as usual and didn't want to eat breakfast.But when Katie went to her room to play with her at nine in the morning, she was horrified to find that the room was empty.

The quilt was neatly folded, without any wrinkles or temperature—she probably didn't sleep last night.The ashtray on the wooden desk was full of cigarette butts, and the shaken ash was dark and deep, like the color of an unwashed tombstone.I don't know how much she smoked.Charles followed the weeping Katie to her room, frowning.No one knew better than him that Iris hadn't smoked since she woke up.

The little girl was crying so hard that she couldn't speak clearly, she couldn't control her ability and almost bumped her head against the wall.

Charles sighed and had to distract her to comfort her.

Iris is really unexpectedly popular with the children here, and has been liked by all the children here at an amazing speed since she woke up.It may be because of her good looks, or it may be because she is like a child herself, so there is no generation gap.

He should have known earlier that Iris's memory box needed specific items to open, and Kuaiyin had brought her back to Forest Mountain, but Iris hadn't remembered anything.He had always thought that the object would be something related to dancing or family, but it was only at that moment that he realized that the specific key was the thick and old research book.

He scanned the empty, cold room one last time, hoping to find a note or some other message.But there is nothing, this room is now empty as if no one has ever lived here - the bottles and small mirrors on the table before, all disappeared with the disappearance of the owner.

I don't know how to tell Kuaiyin about this - he left in the morning and is now taking classes with Hank in the simulation training room.

What a ruthless woman.

Iris is gone.

Quicksilver was the last to know.

Kuaiyin and his team didn't come back until night, and when Charles found him, he was having dinner with Hank in the dining room.The atmosphere seemed relatively relaxed, and Charles suddenly thought sadly that every time he came to spread bad news—it was the same when Eric was here——Quicksilver should hate him as an old man again.

Before he could finish his words, Kuaiyin saw him.He still had something in his mouth, and he couldn't speak clearly, so Charles asked "huh?" in confusion, and saw him swallow the thing with difficulty, and said, "Isn't Iris made today's omelette? Why does it taste so weird?"

Oops!

Charles was taken aback, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and then he heard Kuaiyin ask: "Hey, by the way, where did Iris go? I haven't seen her since I came back."

--really

He sighed, trying to keep his expression gentle, "Iris has gone out."

Kuaiyin put down his fork and looked at him suspiciously: "Where did she go? When will she be back?"

"......"

Kuaiyin didn't react as much as he imagined. Seeing that Charles didn't answer immediately, he calmly picked up the napkin to wipe his hands, and said, "Is she not coming back?"

Charles nodded.

Kuaiyin didn't answer any more. He put down the white napkin, looking the same as usual.

Nope—he and Iris never used napkins.

Kuaiyin walked out of the restaurant. Before leaving the restaurant, Charles felt that something was wrong. He twisted the wheelchair 360 degrees and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find Iris."

He knew that being cold or not was deceiving——

"and then?"

Quicksilver didn't answer him.

"Find her and then what?"

Charles was ready to persuade this young man who was dazzled by love, but when Quicksilver turned his head suddenly, Charles realized that his eyes were red, and he suddenly couldn't bear to tell him the truth of the matter.Charles swallowed his words, and was about to say something to comfort him, when Iron Man, who hadn't taken off his armor, suddenly rushed in. It was scattered a lot at once.

The heat from the soles of Iron Man's feet and the scorching airflow brought by his huge body caused the pots and pans in the kitchen to sway and clank.The golden-red battle armor was no longer as shiny and smooth as it used to be, but was covered with dust and scratches, as if it had just gone through a hard battle.

"Hey, I have a more important thing here."

Charles caught a glass that fell and frowned and looked at the smashed wooden door.His eyes shifted to Iron Man again, expressing great dissatisfaction with his sudden visit.

Where is this?

"Sokovia is in heaven."

She won't be coming back.

Before Charles could answer, Kuaiyin realized the answer himself.

Strange to himself, he didn't burst into sudden outbursts of sadness or rage, or the bewilderment of being betrayed.He seemed to be divided into two parts, one was rolling hysterically on the ground, crying sadly, the other looked at him calmly, his amber eyes were cruelly calm: "Calm down, buddy, you already I know she won't be with you anymore."

Just like when he discovered his talent different from ordinary people for the first time, on the one hand, he was excited about this gift from God, and on the other hand, he was afraid of this unknown power in his heart.

It's just that, then again—fuck the hell out of it.

Kuaiyin quickly stood up and walked to the door, he wanted to get her back——

"What happened after you found her?"

He heard Charles' overtones—she won't be coming back with you.

And he was the last one, and the first one to know the news.

The villain slowly stopped crying, got up from the ground in despair, and slapped the dust off his body.

The air seemed to freeze, strands of light shuttled and woven into a dense net, covering him.

He murmured: "Forget it, she just doesn't like me."

And at the same moment, on the other side of New York City—

Iris opened the door wearily and threw herself on the bed.

The dust bouncing off the bedsheets floated in the air, floating in the faint light beams, turning and turning, sparkling.

She fell asleep.
