Birth of a Goddess [Comprehensive English and American]

Eliza sat on the edge of the hospital bed, motionless like a statue.

The black-haired woman on the hospital bed seemed to be asleep, with a calm face and steady breathing, but under her seemingly stable body, her body system was gradually collapsing.

For as long as Eliza can remember, Christopher has been her only relative, and for a long time, her only friend.When Eliza was little, they lived in Queens, a tiny basement with no sunlight, no dolls, and no superheroes who lived next door.

Later, Christo found a job as a waiter in a cafe, and the family began to slowly add some things, but she also became busier and the time she stayed at home became shorter and shorter.Only when Eliza gets up early every day can she take a look at her mother after getting up, instead of seeing the hands on the clock crossing the scale, waiting with great anticipation for the door to the basement that will be opened next moment.

When Eliza reached the age of elementary school and came to the first day of school, she still remembered her mother's advice:

Get along well with your classmates, be serious in class, and remember to tell your teacher and mother if you are bullied.

……

"Hey, good morning, students. I'm Ms. Teresa, your homeroom teacher. I hope you can behave well this year and don't do anything out of the ordinary. 'Rules' are what I teach you. The first thing... Now, please come up one by one and introduce yourself." The lady in a black dress stood under the podium, her brown eyes showed no emotion, and she calmly glanced at the group of elementary school freshmen below.

The first little girl came onto the stage wearing a bright red plaid skirt, and introduced in a childlike voice, "Hi everyone, my name is Jessica Biel, you can call me Jessica, I like toys Bear, my favorite color is pink, I hope everyone can make friends with me."

While the little girl was talking, Eliza looked down at her white-washed shorts and short sleeves, pursed her lips, and tried to focus on the little girl's face, not paying attention to the scars on her body. skirt.

Then came the second, and the third...

Finally it was Elisa's turn. The moment she heard her name being announced by the teacher, Eliza got up in a hurry, and the back of the chair hit the edge of the table behind her, making a sound.Eliza froze in embarrassment for a moment, then trotted all the way to the podium under Ms. Teresa's majestic gaze.

As soon as she stood on the podium, the table near the corner burst into laughter, "Hey, look at her clothes, she looks like a homeless man under the overpass."

Before the teacher could stop it, the class burst into laughter. After Ms. Teresa noticed the clothes on Eliza, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, allowing the laughter to spread from the corner.

The little blond girl standing on the stage blushed helplessly, and her eyes were filled with a layer of water in an instant. She grabbed the corner of her clothes, but it attracted louder laughter, "I ... My name is Elisa." She finally only stammered out her first name, and ran back to her seat with her head down without even bringing her last name.

After the first class in the morning, the fat boy who yelled that sentence from the corner just now came out from there. Elisa tried her best to lower her head, but found a shadow cast on her desk, and there was a "bang", A fist brushed past her head and slammed into the table.

Eliza's body trembled suddenly in fright, she raised her head timidly, and saw the fat boy standing in front of her desk, with a strange smile on his fat face, "I heard that you don't have a father." This sentence was said so loudly that all the other students in the classroom heard it.

For a moment, all eyes from all directions converged in the direction of Elisa, and the voice of whispering sounded instantly, and they drilled into Eliza's ears one by one.

"My God, doesn't she have a dad?"

"Everyone has a father, how can someone not have a father?"

She clenched her fists, but she couldn't stop the boy named "Jack" in front of her from continuing, "You are a freak, a freak without a father! No one will be friends with you, you and your mother Both of them are monsters living in the basement..."

Before he could finish his last sentence, Elisa had already pushed away the desk in front of her and rushed towards the fat boy.She grabbed the fat boy's short hair and kicked her legs wildly. After a while, the two of them fought into a ball amidst the exclamation of the surrounding students.Although Elisa rushed up first, she was small and not as strong as Jack after all, so she fell behind within a short time.One punch after another hit her on the back, on the arms, on the chest. Eliza's hair, which had been neatly combed in the morning, was already a mess. She stared at Jack viciously, like a wounded little animal.

Another punch hit Eliza's back, she seized the opportunity to raise her head suddenly, and bit down on Jack's fleshy arm.Amidst the gasps of people around him, the fat boy raised his hair and let out a wail, his eyes were flushed, he picked up a steel pencil case from the side and threw it at the girl's face.

Just when the steel pencil case was about to hit the girl's eyes, the girl turned her head subconsciously as if sensing danger. At the same moment, the pencil case that was originally held by the boy suddenly disappeared.His fingernails scratched the corner of the girl's mouth, bringing out a streak of red.

"Blood!" The stunned students at the side seemed to have reacted suddenly at this time, and screamed one after another. At this time, the teacher who came belatedly finally separated the two.

"I don't have a father..." The blond little man nestled in the corner, hugging his knees, curled up into a small ball.She opened her ignorant blue eyes and looked at the black-haired woman who was making the teacher speechless without a word of swearing, while the fat boy Jack who bullied her just now could only obediently hold his head Crouching in the corner, she slowly raised her bruised mouth and murmured softly, "But, I have the best mother in the world."

……

No matter what difficulties she encountered, as long as Christo stood behind her, Eliza felt as if she had nothing to fear.Christo was her god.

But now, the sky is falling.

The door of the ward opened suddenly, and the man entered in the wheelchair. The two exchanged glances. Eliza nodded slightly at Charles, and then a gloomy flash appeared in her eyes. She shook her head again, got up and walked out the door. , brushing shoulders with Charles.The door of the ward closed slowly behind her.

Elisa stood blankly in the corridor for a long while, only to see the closed door when she turned her head, and then she took a step forward.She turned on her phone, and immediately a row of unread messages and missed calls popped up. Alyssa was at the top, followed by her manager Carlos, Peter, Haili, Irene... Even Adam, who hadn't been in touch for a while, sent her a text message.

Elisa slid all the way down, but she never saw the name.

She walked out of the hospital gate, exhaled lightly, and looked up at the gray sky. She felt that it was extremely cold this day, and it went straight to her bones.

"According to the test results, I basically agree with the doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital. The biggest problem with Christo is that the normal cycle of cell self-regeneration is disrupted, causing her body to be forced to sleep to reduce Depletion, this is essentially the body's resistance to destroying the body's strength, but this resistance has also aggravated the instability of Christo's body, which has brought about a series of uncontrollable relapse reactions." In front of Charles was placed A laptop, and Hank on the other end is sitting in the lab.

On the day when Christo fell, Charles had obtained various data from Johns Hopkins Hospital on Christo's physical examination as quickly as possible, and sent them to Hank.

Hank on the other side of the screen continued, "However, I have a guess about the situation of Christopher."

"Charles," his face suddenly became serious, and he said cautiously, "Do you still remember the Gamma bombing?"

"You mean..." Charles understood Hank's implication almost immediately.Although this matter is a mystery to ordinary people, they have their own channels, so they naturally know the hidden truth.Dr. Bruce Banner had an accident while preparing for the test of the "gamma bomb" at the military base in the desert of New Mexico, which caused him to directly enter the explosion range of the gamma bomb, and was irradiated by highly charged radioactive particles. , Dr. Banner's body has mutated, and he will repeatedly turn into a green and powerful humanoid monster when he is emotionally unstable.

"Yes, it's radiation. If, for some reason, Christo received a trace amount of radiation from an unknown radioactive element about 20 years ago; a year and a half ago, he received another intense radiation. No, it can explain the two stages of her body's decay." Hank narrated his conjecture, "But I don't have the test report of Dr. Banner's body after being irradiated, and he himself is currently on the run , unknown whereabouts..."

Charles' gaze dimmed slowly, and at this moment, Hank's words changed suddenly, "But, I know that there is someone who may have the information we need."

Charles stared at Hank with fiery eyes, and heard the name he ticked off in his mind——

Tony Stark.

……

"You want the information about Dr. Banner in my hand, but...why should I give it to you?" Tony leaned on the back of the swivel chair with his chest folded, as if he was careless, but deep thinking was hidden in his eyes.

Except for some public occasions, he had little communication with the moderate leader of the mutants, but he came to the door suddenly today, wanting to get information about Dr. Banner's body data in his hands.Although the relationship between Tony and Dr. Banner is not necessarily very good, and there are many accidental factors in obtaining this data, it does not mean that he will hand over the information about Dr. Banner to this group of people with unknown intentions.

No, apart from public occasions, he and Professor X have also dealt with each other a few times...

As if thinking of something, Tony narrowed his eyes slightly, "If you want something, don't beat around the bush and play charades, just tell me your intention and purpose of coming, I know you can read my meaning from my brain." '

The next moment, a man's voice sounded in Tony's mind, "My wife fell into a coma due to unknown reasons. We speculate that it may be caused by radiation from unknown radioactive elements. We need Dr. Banner's data as a reference." '

'On my side, on the condition that you guarantee that the information will not be leaked, we can make some exchange of conditions you need. '

……

"Although the direction of destruction is different, Dr. Banner's cell decay curve is very similar to Christopher's current situation. Although there are still some subtle differences, this is already the closest possibility." Hank said this seriously, and suddenly stopped, his face became darker.

"During the research, I made an unexpected discovery here. The rays released when the Christo cells decay..."

"It is completely consistent with the decay period of the elements and the rays emitted by Elisa when she uses her ability."

Almost at the same time, Tony, who was at the highest altitude in New York, stared at the diagnosis results obtained by invading the Johns Hopkins Hospital system, his caramel-colored eyes widened, and he read out the same conclusion as Hank.
