Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Katherine's voice appeared so abrupt, that Cyber ​​himself was taken aback.

He turned his head abruptly. Next moment, the wall lamp was turned on. He saw the little girl standing next to the wall lamp. She was wearing pajamas and was standing at the top of the stairs. She seemed to be insomnia. There was a panic in his big eyes that was not easy to spot.

Cyber ​​sighed, maybe because he was thinking about the problem too seriously just now, so he didn’t notice the approach of the little girl, he moved towards Katherine and beckoned, the little girl walked to him and sat next to him On the sofa, she secretly looked at Cyber's expression from the corner of her eyes, and found nothing unusual, she breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the next moment, a big hand fell on her head, making a mess of her neatly combed hair. Katherine exploded her hair like a kitten, and then she heard Cyber With the question of abusive taste,

"What are you doing secretly watching me? Little Katherine, what are you going to tell me?"

The little girl was a bit tangled and caught herself. Fingers, even if Cyber ​​messed up her hair just now, she didn't care about it. She looked at Cyber ​​with a bit of cowering, and secretly mustered up her courage, but when she spoke, she lowered her voice again, like a bullied Like a small animal,

"Cyber, do you believe that there are superpowers in this world?"

"Eh?"

Cyber ​​froze, this is considered what is the problem?

But thinking of the age of little girl, he suddenly realized that children at this age are when they like crazy thinking, maybe it's the little girl who watched some movies and had doubts?

Thinking of this, Cyber ​​suddenly felt that he was very responsible and wanted to instill some good ideas into this little girl, so he showed a very gentle smile, nodded,

"Well, I I believe it."

"Do you hate those with superpowers?"

The expression on the little girl's face is a bit richer, she grabs her fingers and asks more seriously Then, "Do you like them?"

"Uh..."

This question asked Cyber ​​again, he scratched his head,

"Why Well, if they don’t mess with me, I don’t think it matters. If their super powers are interesting and they are not bad guys, maybe I will like them."

The expression on Katherine's face is again Enriched, she just got up from the sofa and looked at Cyber ​​very much looking forward to it,

"Do you hate me? Cyber."

This question made Cyber ​​laugh. He extended the hand, grabbed little girl’s slightly chubby face, and gently pulled his left hand outward,

"Do you say you hate you? Little girl, what happened tonight, I’m always talking about these messy things..."

"weng"

Cyber ​​felt his hands trembling slightly while holding Katherine's face, and then Katherine stood in front of him. He disappeared with a mischievous smile.

No...it’s not disappearing, but the whole person fell into the ground...it’s really "melted" into it, like falling into black water, he can even see Katherine's face Hair submerged under the floor.

It's like playing a game with him!

But this game made Cyber's hair stand upright. He got up from the sofa and immediately pinched the back of his hand to confirm the pain. After confirming that it was not a dream, he began to get nervous. Looking around for Katherine's trail, under the dim light, all this seemed so unreal.

The three problems of the little girl before were suddenly linked together, and all the doubts of Cyber ​​in this brief moment disappeared suddenly.

Katherine...she is what she calls a "superpower" person, this girl...she is a Mutant!

Cyber ​​turned his head, there was no smile on his face, no relaxation, his expression fell into the eyes of Katherine who appeared from the other side of the wall, and the little girl who was happily happily saw this Her expression, her eyes reddened, tears welled up from her eyes.

She has seen this expression many times. Perhaps her former parents ignored her disappearance because of this reason. In the days when she fell into Gotham and lost one's head out of fear, those After being sent to the orphanage, the memory of being abused by the caretaker, in her unsound mind, subconsciously believed that it was these "superpowers" that made her unloved by everyone.

She never used it again, unless in a critical moment, otherwise, how did a little girl who was only 9 years old overcame the towering walls of the orphanage on a cold rainy night? Woolen cloth? How she was on the narrow island of danger lurks on every side, almost a year passed.

Katherine feels that Cyber ​​will be the same as others, and will give up her because of her "different", and the old man will not accept a monster. She feels cold, even in a warm room. Here, she slowly squatted down with her arms around her body, squatting in the corner, shiver coldly like an abandoned little beast.

Cyber ​​saw this scene and couldn’t help being sighed. Before he got the gift from Coulson, he thought he was a freak, almost exactly the same as Katherine now, he could almost think of it , This girl was under so much pressure that she confessed to him this "secret" that she had carefully maintained.

Perhaps because of Fatty Jon, Katherine's dependence on him is much stronger than he thought. He stepped forward and squatted down in front of Katherine, extending the hand trying to do the same as before. Her head was avoided by the little girl.

The way she dodges is peculiar. When Cyber's hand stretched over, her small body retreated and merged into the wall. Obviously, Cyber's expression hurt her heart just now.

Seeing this scene, Cyber ​​was a little helpless. He thought about it and sat cross-legged in front of Katherine, who was crying with his head down. He took out his left hand in his pocket and drew out a dagger. , Shook in front of the little girl's eyes, then swiped down, and the sharp blade cut through his skin. It was not a terrifying wound, but crimson's blood still flowed out.

Cyber ​​gnawed his teeth, and the sleepy heat flow in his body was awakened. Under Katherine’s stunned gaze, the small wound slowly stopped bleeding and healed. After a not-too-long 1 minute, it completely disappeared. It seemed that nothing happened in the silent hall, but the dozen drops of blood on the floor proved that what Katherine had just seen was not an illusion.

Cyber ​​shook his smooth as new arms in front of Katherine, who had stopped crying, reached out his hand to take out the cigarette from his pocket, and held it on his mouth. He comfortably propped his body back with his arms. Moved towards the sky, swallowed a smoke ring, and then looked down at the little girl.

"Fur... don't worry now? You little clever ghost, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I...I am afraid."

Katherine Slowly "walking" out of the wall, with tears still hanging on her face, she twitched her nose and said to Cyber ​​seriously,

"Cyber, are you also a superpowered person?"

p>

"It's not called a superpower? This name is very frustrating, OK..."

Cyber ​​reached out and hugged Katherine lightly, rubbing her forehead with the stubborn stubble Go,

"We, there is a name called Mutant, uh, it sounds more frustrated than that, but you have to remember, Katherine..."

little girl sitting Cyber ​​lifts the head looked towards the night sky outside the window on Cyber’s lap,

"We, we are not freaks, we are normal people! Normal people stronger than them! Yes, When did you have this ability?"

"About a few years ago, after I fell asleep once, I dreamed that I could go through the bed, through the wall, and even through the ground. Then I After waking up, I found that I was lying in the basement of my house..."

Katherine scratched her head, "Perhaps it was the reason for the dream. At that time, my mother was terrified. She repeatedly told me not to give it to me. Others know."

"And then?"

Cyber ​​spit out smoke. This is the first time in the little girl half a month that she took the initiative to tell her past story. , His question seemed to remind Katherine of something bad, but after she was silent for a few seconds, she continued to say,

"In the next six months, I assumed that it hadn’t happened until Half a year later, my kitten fell into the sewer. When I rescued it, the neighbors saw it. They said I was a witch. Then we moved and moved to Brooklyn. From that day on, yes. My very good father mother has changed. I always keep myself in the house. I am afraid that I am really the witch of those people pointing fingers. I once heard them crying in the bedroom in the middle of the night, and I know they still Love me."

Katherine's eyes are red again, Cyber ​​grinning open, showing a mocking smile,

"Those who point your fingers to you are stupid, don’t bother. They, then how did you come to Gotham's?"

Katherine's body trembled a bit, probably thinking of the torture of fatty Jon to her, Cyber 's patted her left hand on her back to calm her body.

"This is a trip from New York to Toronto. It was my father mother's trip to make me happier. Before my birthday, we went to many places. Gotham was our last Three stops, and then at the station, my father mother and I got lost, and then...I never saw them."

"Cyber, do they not love me anymore? Am I making them angry? Now?"

The little girl threw herself into Cyber's arms. He could feel the fear in her heart, the fear of being abandoned by her loved ones. This feeling is also very familiar to Cyber. She grew up as an orphan since she was a child. The older man had thought about the same problem at midnight more than once.

Why did they abandon him?

Is it forced by life, or for some weird reason?

Cyber ​​hopes to be the former, but after he grows up, he no longer thinks about these issues. The past things, let him pass. The most important thing for people is to live well in the present. Only then can you be qualified to look forward to the future.

He pressed the pipe out on the floor and gave Katherine a hug. He comforted her and said,

"No, they must be worried about you too, silly girl, don’t I’m crying, aren’t you going to New York with me? Let’s go find them and give them a surprise, okay?"

"en! Would you not want me? Cyber?"

"No...I won't, because we are the same kind of people, aren't we all the freaks they said? How can one freak abandon another freak?"

Cyber ​​hands Holding Katherine's shoulders, he sat on the ground and looked at the sobbing little girl. He showed an unsightly smile, reached out to help her wipe away the tears, and said to her very seriously,

" You, learn to be strong, tears can't stop the bullet, otherwise what a gentle world this should be...oh, yes! I said I would give you a gift."

With that said, Cyber ​​took out a black pistol from the lining of his clothes and made an exaggerated grimace.

"dang~ dang~ dang~ dang~!"

He placed it solemnly between Katherine's palms, and reached out to the little girl to make it too big for her Holding his cold toy in his hand, he said to the little girl who was ignorant,

"Weapon, this is probably the most loyal partner in this world, you see, as long as you hold it tightly, Even if the entire world abandons you, it will silently guard your safety. You are too young. Although your ability is very powerful and at least more useful than mine, it is not enough to protect you. Hold it tightly, Katherine, When others are trying to hurt you..."

Cyber ​​squinted and laughed, smoothed the little girl’s messy hair, whispered in her ear,

"They When trying to hurt you, kill them... You can’t give them the right to hurt you a second time. You know, this world is too dangerous and too cold. It doesn’t even want to give us even a little more love, so we are more To learn to love yourself, remember?"

"Like you treat Fatty Jon?"

"Yes! That's it!"

"Well, I remembered!"
