tech killer

May took care of Elsa for a week in Gotham.

Although the poor Cinderella's injury is much lighter than expected, the most serious thing is actually excessive blood loss, but that penetrating injury, even for a mutant with better physical fitness, will take at least a week. In order to basically heal.

Elsa stayed in Gotham Hospital for almost ten days.

Probably because of their company, Elsa's mood finally became much brighter, and finally she was no longer that distressed look, which made Mei breathe a sigh of relief.

During this period, Ben Parker, who was no longer worried about Elsa living alone outside, persuaded the silent Cinderella to agree with him to return the rent of the apartment that Elsa had rented with great difficulty.

To be honest, Elsa was a bit reluctant.Although she liked Parker's house very much, she always felt that living together might not be as convenient as she imagined.But the point is not here. After the guardian's problem is resolved, if he doesn't allow her to rent out the house because he is worried about the girl's safety... the manager probably won't rent it to her anymore.

Elsa licked her lips, feeling very prescient.She kept most of her stuff, especially the ones that weren't easy for people to see, in space boxes so that it wouldn't be exposed when Ben moved her.

Yes, because of the girl's injury, Ben decided to help her move after consulting the girl's opinion.By the way, I also brought little Peter who was resting on the weekend.

Ben got in touch with the agency manager.

Probably Ben's appearance is really trustworthy, or the little Peter on the side is too cute.The manager readily canceled the lease contract and refunded the deposit, and took the two of them to pack their things.

"Hello," the group of three people just arrived in front of Elsa's apartment when they heard someone's greeting, "Excuse me, are you...Elsa's...?"

Sharon was carrying a beautiful shoulder bag and a bag full of unknown things in her hand. She was standing at the stairs looking up at them strangely.

Ben smiled at her: "I'm Elsa's guardian. We really don't feel at ease when she lives alone, so let's let her move back to my house in the end. The little girl was afraid to trouble us, so she finally agreed."

It was obvious, Sharon smiled, walked back to her door, and opened it.

She threw the backpack away, opened her file records, removed the file marked with Elsa's name, and put the agency's name back on it.

Agent No.13 of S.H.I.E.L.D., who was in charge of observing Captain America, propped his chin and habitually tapped his cheek with his fingertips: "Should I find an excuse to rent out all the vacant houses..."

Elsa doesn't have many things, and Ben's car is big enough to hold all her belongings.Ben was a careful person, he packed everything properly, and finally entrusted the box that was almost up to Peter's waist, which Elsa had specially instructed, to the eager little Peter.

"The task is entrusted to you," Ben smiled and pinched his nose lightly, "protect Elsa's box."

Peter nodded, sat on the back seat and hugged the suitcase which was too big for him.

"Uncle Ben, when are we going to pick up Elsa?" He hugged the suitcase, covering most of his face, only showing one eye to look at Uncle Ben who was driving in front of him.

"Tomorrow." Ben glanced at Peter who was fidgeting in the back seat from the car mirror, "Elsa is recovering well, and her injury has stabilized. It's not convenient for anyone to stay in Gotham. We'll take her back to New York. "

Uncle Ben looked at the little man in his family: "Why, do you want to follow?"

The only exposed eye blinked, and he nodded.

Hospitalization is a very boring thing.

Especially when accompanied by elders.Mei asked all kinds of cold and warm, she seemed to be really frightened, and never asked Elsa what happened, but just tried her best to comfort the child.It's a pity that the "generation gap" problem really exists, and Cinderella is really at a loss sometimes.

sweet troubles.

It's not even convenient for May to go out for a stroll. Gotham's security makes Elsa dare not let May go out for a long time, even if she thinks Batman is actually very reliable.

Speaking of which, the most fortunate thing is that there are no villains doing things recently.Elsa, with a simple brain circuit, would not have thought that there was a bigger conspiracy waiting for her or them.

What she is struggling with now is another one.

About whether she really wants to tell the truth.

That day, her conversation with Professor X went well.

She'd never seen a mutant before, or... Deadpool and the guy who came looking for him?

Should be right.

As a little girl who later found out that she was actually a mutant, after Jarvis checked some things about X Academy for her, she really came up with the idea of ​​learning.

Sherlock has taught her many things, but Sherlock is only a purebred human being.In this society, the existence of mutants is not so common.Most of them choose to be like Sasha, masquerading as ordinary people and permanently integrating into this society.Completely accepting one's own identity may be regarded as living a stable life, or one may fear until one is discovered.

It is true that there are many mutants who live freely and comfortably, but more, they are different from ordinary people, and what they have encountered is similar to Elsa

—— being squeezed out, hated, even hated.

All of Sherlock's interest in Elsa comes from Elsa's identity as a mutant.He seemed to have seen a mutant before, but had no chance to come into contact with it.He's been interested in mutants ever since.But he didn't bother to find those hidden people as if he was doing something bad secretly, so Elsa was the first mutant he personally came into contact with.

Thinking of Sherlock, Elsa felt a chill all over again.

Sherlock can't let Sherlock know about this matter, the hospitalization.

No, keep everything from him!thought Cinderella terrified.

Even the card that Sherlock gave her... oh, it was forgotten in Swell along with that backpack.

Cinderella sighed faintly, and she randomly drew a few strokes on the plaster cast of her left hand, which was wrapped into a mallet, and it became a crooked human figure.

Professor X suggested that she confess her mutant identity to Parker and his wife, but Elsa did not dare.

Once something is in her palm, she just wants to hold it tighter.She was afraid of losing and being abandoned, and she had no choice of turning back after telling this matter. Professor X had seen such things a lot, so he didn't say anything in the end.Before Alex pushed his wheelchair away, he suddenly turned his head and blinked playfully: "We have an appointment. When your injury heals, come and report."

He smiled: "Wade always likes to talk nonsense. I will prepare a nice school uniform for you."

Elsa: ... trembling.

Speaking of which, no matter how much she cares about Bucky who has lost news again, she can no longer "court death" alone.Maybe she can look forward to going to X Academy to find some friends who can help her?It seems good to think about it.

Of course, all this is just an idea for now.Elsa must at least heal her injury first... It will take at least three months.

At least until next year.

Cinderella was thinking about what she needed to do, from renewing her passport to renewing her card, as well as her wasted equipment, and looking for a chance to see how Jarvis was doing.

A week passed, and Elsa didn't activate the cell phone that Jarvis was on.

She couldn't bear it, but she didn't dare to face the electronic housekeeper who was very similar to human beings.

Superman told her when he had nothing to say to explain the situation to her. It was Jarvis who asked him for help at the scene. It can even be said that Jarvis woke him up with the siren speed to make Elsa go faster. but Elsa has no way to restart the phone at this time.

She lost her mutant powers.When she had no support, she was really so much less courageous.

She carefully put the mobile phone in her pocket, touched the broken screen with her fingertips, said sorry silently in her heart, and then was pressed on the wheelchair and pushed to the hospital door.

Elsa got into the car driven by Ben and headed back to New York.Peter sat in the backseat as if she were a fragile object, not daring to approach her.Elsa smiled and reached out to pinch his face. The two children laughed, and the adults sitting in the co-pilot also laughed.

The night patrol is over and Batman returns to the Batcave.

Alfred Pennyworth greeted his master's return as usual.

"Master Bruce," said the human butler after serving the returning hero, and then notified him of something, "The mutant lady has left."

Bruce Wayne nodded: "Superman won't be here tomorrow."

***

Elsa didn't like the hospital, but her injury was better spent in the hospital for observation for a few days, so she went to the hospital again.

Ben told her that all her things had been put in the room for her, and if she needed anything, she could tell them to bring it for her.Elsa had no choice but to nod, emphasizing again and again that she was getting better soon, so May and Ben, who were extremely exhausted during this period, went home together.

Of course, although Peter wanted to stay, he was taken home by the parents.

Elsa lay on the hospital bed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although those documents hadn't been replenished, she was uncertain, but her card containing the lottery winnings was still in the space box.Money is really a problem that cannot be ignored. Fortunately, Elsa is not short of money.

I just don't know how to deal with the Sherlock card... Cinderella thought with a headache.

Her hands are a little itchy, and she really wants to play with her mobile phone at this time.It's a pity that she also left the mobile phone that she usually used for playing in the forest of Swell.May never be found.

At this time, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon.The weather is not bad today.Elsa has adjusted her mentality and is no longer immersed in the things that did not bring Bucky back.She was leaning on the bed, looking at the blue sky outside the window, and before she fell asleep, she heard a little noise.

The girl with good hearing moved her ears. She had a premonition out of nowhere. She felt that... this incident might have something to do with her.

Elsa blinked and turned her gaze to the door.

Her current ward is obviously not as good as the one in Gotham, and the shaking shadow of someone walking back and forth at the door can be seen very clearly.

The faint shadows of the group of people could be seen from a distance, but when they got closer, they became even more distinct.

Sure enough, the leader stopped in front of Elsa's door.

Cinderella stared vigilantly, but sadly found that she had no power to protect herself now.

However, in broad daylight and in public... there shouldn't be any danger.

The next second, the door was opened.

The person who made the debut stood against the light, as if wrapped in the holy light, and seemed to be radiant, and the group of people behind him were just the background board.

The shining person tilted his head, and there was a hint of arrogance in his tone, but his voice was nice: "I'm sorry, thank you for leading me, I found the person I was looking for. Well...the next thing doesn't need your participation, please Avoid it."

Elsa squinted her eyes, and finally saw the person clearly, her whole body froze, her face was as ugly as it could be.

The door was shut with a bang.

That very tall gentleman stood at the door with the cheap wooden door behind him, even though he was in an old hospital ward, it did not hide his unique temperament.

Elsa stuttered: "Ss, sss——Mr. Stark..."

"It's Stark, not sssss Stark," Tony Stark took off his sunglasses, "don't call me daddy this time, huh?"

Elsa's mouth twitched.

Mom who is far away in heaven, what do you say that my clever and recognizable father came to the door?You will bless me!

She bit her lower lip in confusion, turning her mind around to find a suitable excuse: "Sorry..."

Those caramel-colored eyes are indeed very similar to Elsa in shape, but the parent-child relationship cannot be confirmed just by similarity.

It was like this in the first place, obviously it was a very simple matter, but because the other party involved was the famous Iron Man, all sorts of lace news were flying everywhere.

"Come on, let me take a look," Tony Stark raised his eyebrows with interest, he took a few steps forward, stood by the bed and picked up the backup case placed here, "Wow, can you It's quite powerful, it's only been a few days, and the knife wound and fracture... It's not a light toss..."

Tony Stark suddenly withdrew his expression, and stared carefully at Cinderella on the hospital bed: "Elsa Saron...isn't it, is Swell fun?"

"...S, Mr. Stark..."

"It's Stark, not Stark, don't change my name casually." Tony slowly put the sunglasses he just took off into his suit pocket, "Is there anything you want to take the initiative to explain?"

Cinderella was dumbfounded.

"You don't want to say it? Then I'll say it first." Mr. Stark lowered his head gracefully, as if paying tribute, and then took out an unknown machine from his pocket. With the shaking of his hand, several The projected screenshot flashed by.

"Video has been shooting, this is the only access to Hydra's broken base, but the surveillance did not capture any images of you. Generally speaking, there are two explanations for this matter. First, you have been in the range of the video, But some special method was used to cover up his whereabouts; the other is that you have never entered, and when you appear, you are at the other end of the passage, so the surveillance cannot capture you."

Tony Stark shook the machine in his hand again, and changed a few photos. Various newspapers and web pages were projected on them. The flashing titles were enough to show the excitement of the author.

Elsa looked at the prominent names of "Tony Stark" or "Iron Man" on the top, and "Dad", "Father" and "Marriage" following behind, and twisted the bed sheet with her hands under the quilt.

"This is the news from half a month ago," Tony Stark snapped his fingers, "I read it, and it's quite wonderfully written, all kinds of interesting speculations, but they don't match the facts, and there's something I've secretly married He even deliberately locked the child and the child’s mother in the basement. Tsk, this group of people don’t write very good news, and the stories are pretty good.”

Elsa could only listen stiffly.

"Do you know why there are only my own photos on all the news?" Tony Stark put away the small machine in his hand, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Huh? Nothing else to say?"

Elsa flinched.

"You came prepared, right?" He looked at the Cinderella who was so stiff on the hospital bed that she seemed to have been punctured, and said meaningfully, "There is no video data about you in the surveillance of that store. No one took pictures of the scene. Based on my first impression, it's really not easy to find you. You run very fast."

Elsa opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

In fact, she had a premonition that she would be caught in the end. After all, she was trying to grab the wool from the famous "Iron Man", but she didn't expect it to be so fast!So fast that she wasn't even mentally prepared.

The smile on Tony Stark's face disappeared, he stared at the silent Cinderella: "What is your purpose?"

He raised his eyebrows: "I don't understand you little girls very well. Is it possible that you really want to come and give me a hug? Then you can just say it. I am happy to satisfy the harmless little vanity of a lovely lady."

Elsa lowered her head: "I'm sorry Mr. Stark, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it."

Those caramel-colored eyes stared at the girl.

He really didn't see a problem at all.He has found all the information about her that he can find. She is innocent and even a poor girl.

But the more this is the case, the more impossible it is for him to believe that this girl has done nothing and has no purpose at all.Her skill is very vigorous, she easily escaped from Harpy without leaving any other traces, who would believe it if she didn't do it on purpose?Coupled with the things he picked up in Swell, and the testimony of that group of people...

Could it really have something to do with the black bat in Gotham?But that guy won't meddle in outside affairs?Although he guarded his territory tightly, Jarvis couldn't reach in.

A small book was thrown in front of Elsa.

Elsa, who was a little guilty, was taken aback.She secretly raised her eyes to look at the gentleman, feeling even more ominous.

"Explain?" Tony Stark's index finger knuckles tapped on the table beside him, making a crisp sound, "I picked it up in Swell. By the way, there is a broken bag."

Elsa saw that the passport she still wanted to renew appeared in Mr. Stark's hands, and she felt that this matter really couldn't be kept secret.

Also, what excuses do you have?

Cinderella held her lost and recovered passport, her mind spinning rapidly.

"What did you do to Jarvis?"

"Jarvis? He's fine... um!" Elsa's eyes widened suddenly, she covered her mouth with her right hand, and held her breath.

I was overwhelmed by a sudden sentence from Tony Stark!What to do? What to do? What to do!

Tony Stark stood up straight: "You know Jarvis."

"..."

"You did something to him, too."

"..."

"Miss Saron, my patience is limited." Tony Stark concealed his indulgent temperament, as if he was already wearing a steel battle suit, and Elsa couldn't help shaking with his powerful aura, "Since I can find You are here, and the next thing will definitely not be hidden from me."

Elsa still couldn't find an excuse to prevaricate.

But to be honest?

If her mutation ability is still there, she must be worthy!She knows that the steel suit relies on high-tech design, and she can definitely make the unsuspecting Iron Man suffer... But in this situation, she can only suffer!

Tony Stark knows she exists!I must also know that Uncle Ben and Aunt May, Little Peter, can't run away.

Tony narrowed his eyes: "Okay, I have to be considerate of the wounded. How about this, I ask, you say."

He raised his chin: "Answer my next question first. Who is John H. Watson?"

"--it's me."

The unobstructed door opened again.Because the hospital was full of people coming and going, they were not even vigilant about someone else coming to the door.

Elsa on the hospital bed opened her eyes wide, with a smile on her face: "Watson!"

The former military doctor walked in, and at the same time, another tall and thin figure turned from the backlight.

Elsa watched Sherlock walking in slowly, wearing a windbreaker and a scarf, with curly hair fluttering in the wind, her smile froze on her face.

"Wow," Tony put on his sunglasses, "It seems that I haven't collected enough information, I really thought you guys had nothing to do with each other."

"Mr. Stark," Sherlock nodded, "It's an honor to meet you, I wonder if I can get your suit with you before I go back to England—"

Watson stood in front of him and interrupted him: "Mr. Stark, please come and see Elsa. It's not convenient now, look, isn't it..."

Silence spread across the ward for a moment.

Then, footsteps sounded again.

"Elsa, I'll bring you food!" The little boy's voice sounded in front of the door, and he happily pushed the door open, "S, S, Mr. Stark—?!"
