In the snow-white room, the passage of time also began to blur, and the boundary between night and day was quietly annihilated.Dense white circular lamps are evenly distributed in a needle shape on the smooth ceiling. I don't know how long it has passed, but the light and shadow are still invariably white.

Eliza crouched in a corner, her back to the light source, her body casting the only small shadow on the floor of the empty room.

"drop--"

Suddenly, a notification sound echoed in the room, piercing the silent air.

The screen of the phone next to Elisa emitted a faint fluorescent light. Before the screen went completely dark, Elisa picked up her phone, swiped open the screen, and saw the message just sent.

'To Elesa,

Are you all right?

FromTony Stark'

It was a very simple sentence "Are you okay", and the way of answering was also very simple, but Elisa stared at this text message for a long time, pointing her finger on the reply button, and returning it, repeated several times, and finally replied Somewhat dejectedly put down the phone.

The person opposite seemed to be able to see her behavior, and the moment Eliza's fingertips touched the floor, the mobile phone she was still holding rang again.

'To Elesa,

Would you like to talk with me?

FromTony Stark'

Eliza's fingers gripped the phone tightly, and after a long time, her stiff fingers slowly began to move on the screen, her eyes fixed on the small light source in front of her, and she typed the reply seriously and word by word.

……

The smooth black floor exudes metallic light, and all the colors fall on it, leaving only deep and light gray.

A strong dark-skinned man sat at one end of the long table, one eye was completely covered by an eyepatch, and the only exposed eye showed a sharp light; on his left side, sat a brown-haired man.

Sitting alone at the other end of the long table, Charles seemed to notice the tension between the two of them. He raised his head and gave them a gentle smile, but he didn't let the success make them relax.

"I want to know why you came," Nick Fury said in a deep voice, "The leader of the X-Men, Professor X."

'I hope S.H.I.E.L.D. can return to us the mutants captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. yesterday. '

A voice suddenly sounded in the minds of Nick Fury and Coulson. Charles still had such a calm expression on his face, and he didn't seem to see their expressions change immediately.

Coulson's body tensed instantly, he subconsciously pressed the edge of the long table, his palm moved slightly, his toes touched the ground, and his eyes fell on Charles's keenly, ensuring that he could start the room as quickly as possible if he found any abnormalities. Link to the martial law button in the control room of S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ.

Nick stared into Charles' eyes, and there was a penetrating sense of oppression in his eyes for an instant, and the atmosphere in the room froze immediately.

"I have no malice."

This sentence sounded in his mind, but Nick didn't follow the trend to respond in his brain, but calmly said, "Then why did you use such a method?"

'In order to achieve the goal of my visit this time. '

"It's not going to get you any closer to that goal."

Hearing the words of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Charles smiled.

'I think so. His words exploded in the minds of Nick and Coulson at the same time, and almost at the same time, the metal shell of the emergency button in the house floated to the ground like a feather, revealing the distorted and damaged circuit .

Watching Nick Fury's dark face, Charles smiled and made his request again, "...I think this time, maybe you will be willing to agree to my request."

……

When Eliza walked out of the closed little white room, the first thing she saw was the red hair that was as dazzling as a flame.

The red-haired woman who looked like a burning rose walked towards Elisa, her face was sharp, and it was quite different from what Elisa remembered, but she could figure out a little bit from the details.

"I think maybe you have already figured out what to do next, right?" Although she didn't see what Elisa did during her alone time, Natasha quickly read out what Elisa did with her keen observation. The firm look in Sha's eyes.

Eliza squeezed the phone in her hand and nodded.

I saw Natasha exhale, "Ah, I was cut off." She caught a glimpse of Eliza's surprise, and her red lips curled slightly, "I didn't watch the surveillance video, there is no camera in that room. It's just...a little conjecture. But judging by your appearance, I probably got it right."

A trace of depression flashed in Natasha's eyes, and she quickly returned to her usual appearance, "But I'm afraid for the time being, you still need to stay in S.H.I.E.L.D.." After she finished speaking, she turned and walked into the corridor, gently throwing down the A "keep up".

Elisa stared at the slim back of the red-haired woman, and it seemed to overlap with the back of the year in a trance.

"Thank you."

Behind Natasha, she whispered something, and saw Natasha raised her hand and waved it in the air.

It's just that Eliza knew that what she was grateful for was not only the respect and patience this time, but also the previous incident.

……

Eliza followed Natasha into the door, and immediately saw the man in the wheelchair in the room.She bent her fingers unconsciously, landed two empty fists on her side, opened her mouth, and still didn't call out the name after a moment's hesitation.

Charles stared at Eliza, and the girl's tiny shadow was reflected in those bright blue eyes. Eliza's hesitation and anxiety seemed to have nowhere to hide.His brows and eyes relaxed, and the slightly cold expression in front of Nick Fury just now softened immediately.

"Eliza," he called out the girl's name gently, "let's go."

Elisa looked at Charles, who was smiling at him as always, but her eyes flashed a flustered look. She had a lot to say, but thinking about the current situation, she didn't know how many cameras were watching this scene. Room.

After wearing a hat and mask and leaving the S.H.I.E.L.D. building in full armor, Eliza couldn't help asking the question that haunted her, "If what happened back then was because of me..."

When Elisa met Charles's knowing eyes, she couldn't help being taken aback, and then heard his voice, "I know."

"You know?" Eliza repeated in a daze. After seeing the tolerance in Charles' eyes as always, her nose was slightly sour, and a little red appeared from the top of the mask.She seemed to have put down half of the package in her heart, and her eyes were filled with faint water, but she didn't dare to raise her head, for fear that the camera coming out of nowhere would catch her face, but her eyes were bent into two crescent moons.

"Can you tell me," she heard her own voice, but it seemed to come from afar, "Is there a story between you and your mother?"

"……dad."

The car is speeding towards the distance, and the scenery outside the window is passing by quickly. Before the eyes of the people in the car stop for a while, it has already slid to the next scene.It seems that frames of pictures are quickly drawn across the eyes, leaving thick to thin lines, like a paintbrush leaving dense lines straight in the sky and the fields.

"The first time we met was in the debate competition at Oxford University. At that time, I received an invitation from my friend to watch the debate competition in which the Department of Psychology appeared. Christo represented the Department of Psychology in that competition. Maybe after you go back, you will want to see what Christo looks like in the debate." Speaking of this, Charles seemed to think of the scene he saw when he was sitting in the audience, with a smile on his face , "Christopher standing on the debate field, as long as she speaks, the attention of the audience will be shifted to her unconsciously. Her debating skills and debating methods are impeccable, even if they do not agree with her point of view, and it is difficult to find logical loopholes in her narrative..."

Eliza was in the car, listening carefully to Charles' narration, and tried to imagine the scene when Christo shocked everyone at Oxford University, but she always felt that the picture she imagined was a bit wrong.

"After the game, I asked my friend for Christo's contact information.

There is always mist over the Thames, but occasionally it clears up.At that time, the Thames River was exceptionally clear, and I would make an appointment with Christopher to take a walk along the Thames River.We talked about literature, chatting about texts, and about drama. She had a special liking for Shakespeare's "The Tempest". We would recite each other's classic passages in Shakespeare's plays and let each other take the next sentence. "

In Charles' narration, Elisa heard a Christo who was completely different from her previous impression.

She is lively and outgoing, proud but not domineering, she can easily get along with the people around her, and sway her talent and youth in world-renowned universities.

Charles seemed to be aware of what she was thinking. He looked straight into Eliza's eyes and said to her so seriously for the first time, "All this is a thing of the past. No one can foresee the future, even Now, even you and I have nothing to do. What's more..."

"Don't imagine Christo to be so fragile."

This sentence came out of Charles' mouth, but it was more effective than all the previous words.

In silence, Eliza made her first request since getting in the car.

"I want to see Christopher, now."

She faces out of the window, letting the scenery pass by quickly in her blue pupils.

……

Eliza had imagined many times what kind of expression she should make when facing Christo.

calm?Smile?

But when she saw the familiar face of the smiling black-haired woman, tears welled up uncontrollably, filling her eyes in the blink of an eye.She hugged the black-haired woman and cried, "I'm sorry."

When Christo's hand stroked her back and said the same gentle "it's okay" that was exactly the same as every time before, Eliza couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, and fell on Christo's On his shoulder, he cried out suppressedly, as if he had obtained the greatest redemption with just this one sentence.

The author has something to say: The few sentences in the text message today, because the sentences and words are relatively simple, there should be no obstacles.

After switching between Chinese and English several times, I feel that English is more interesting, so the text message part is finally presented in English.
