Enter. In December, the weather gets colder, with temperatures hovering below 32 degrees Fahrenheit for days, and dark clouds that roll over the city simmer for days in low temperatures before finally falling the first snow of the winter.

Pieces of white fluffy snowflakes fall from the sky, bringing this skyscraper to a dense giant. The big city is dressed up in a silver makeup, reflecting a faint glimmer in the darkness.

On the illuminated streets, the hustle and bustle of the world does not end with snowfall, and the sound of people, cars and music from various shopping malls is intertwined, adding a touch of warmth to the cold world.

Along the street with no end in sight, countless flashing vehicles slowly pass through the snow, pedestrians on the side of the road have changed into thicker winter clothes, occasionally encounter homeless people covered in newspapers and plastic bags, and some people will send a kind message and generously throw them a few coins.

Coulson walked alone in the crowd, he had just completed the mission assigned by S.H.I.E.L.D., and before he could return to the local branch to report the implementation, he first arrived at a café near the shopping street, where he was going to pick up his girlfriend Audrey, who played the cello part-time for guests.

Following the flow of people through a long street and two intersections, Coulson came to his destination, and through the window of the dessert cabinet outside the store, he saw his girlfriend pulling the strings. Audrey is not beautiful, but her temperament is quite elegant, her expression is very engaged at the moment, her body is rippling with the waving arms, and the whole person is completely immersed in the melody of music. Seeing her fully engaged, Coulson felt that his mind was gradually calming, as if he had been washed by a clean hot spring, although it was still cold outside, but he was as if he was bathed in warm sunshine.

Without pushing the door in immediately, he stood by the window, peering inside through the glass window, waiting for the residual smell of gunsmoke on his body to dissipate with the wind.

At this time, few people in the store noticed outside, they were away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and they were sipping fragrant drinks around the table, talking and chatting by the way, or reading newspapers and periodicals with the rising heat in the cup.

In this retro style that is stacked with bricks. In the love shop, Audrey, dressed in a musician’s dress, holds a cello and accompanies a young girl standing by the fireplace with another musician, performing Heine’s poem “—-On the Wings of Song”.

“…… On the wings of song,

Dear come with me,

Violet whispered with a smile

Look up at the bright stars,

Rosette whispered her fragrant mood

That gentle and lovely antelope,

Skip to listen carefully

The waves of that holy river in the distance

There was a noise…”

The clear melody paints a warm and romantic picture in the soft accompaniment. It is as if the girl is riding the wings of song, going to the banks of the Ganges with her dear ones, listening to the gurgling sound of the holy river in the distance on a quiet moonlit night full of red flowers, jade lotuses, roses, and violets, enjoying the joy of love and longing for happy dreams in the coconut grove.

In the melodious singing, the chatter stopped exchanging ears, the newspaper reader also took off their glasses, and the people turned their heads sideways and quietly listened to the song.

Coulson looked at the people inside, and gradually a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he patted down the snowflakes on his head and shoulders, held his two frozen hands in front of Xiong, rubbed them hard, took a few breaths of heat, and was about to walk to the door, shake. The handrail opened the door, and suddenly the door opened by itself, and a silver-haired shawl came out of it, and when he was about to pass by Coulson, the big man suddenly seemed to have found something, so he immediately stopped, stood between Coulson and the store door with an expressionless face, and stared at him condescendingly with sharp eyes.

The man was only slightly approaching, and Coulson’s heart was immediately cold, and his sweaty hair couldn’t help but stand up.

“Hello, is there anything I can do to help you?” He greeted in harmony and stretched out a hand. Grab the placket. Holding the handle of the gun, the person took a step back slightly, his body curled up slightly, and he kept ready to enter at any time. Agitated. The state of intense movement.

However, the big man did not answer, just stared at him with wide eyes, and at the same time his nose shrugged slightly, as if he wanted to smell something from Coulson.

The other party did not evade, the senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. was a little embarrassed, he did not want to conflict with such a hard hand for no reason, nor could he turn around and leave, so for a while the two people froze temporarily.

Fortunately, the girl singing inside discovered the situation at the door in time and quickly ran out to call the big man back, so that Coulson was able to get out of this inexplicable danger.

“Sorry sir, Victor’s head has been injured.” The girl pointed to the corner of her forehead and apologized to the agent, and the big man named Victor stood aside, and did not react when he heard this, but grinned and showed him two sharp canine teeth.

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Coulson waved his hand, by which time he recognized that the girl who apologized was the girlfriend of a young scientist who had recently gained fame, and he didn’t expect her to sing in such a small shop.

Probably to hone his singing voice, the senior agent thought. He had some appreciation and could tell that girls were not like academy students who had undergone long and rigorous training. By the standards of a singer, her voice quality is not strong enough, her interpretation skills are weaker, and she performs just fine in a coffee shop with limited space, but if she goes to the wide stage of Broadway, it is a little inadequate.

Many singers have gone through this stage, quietly growing up in bars or coffee houses, and then expecting to become famous on stage.

However, when this girl named Mary Jane sang, there was also a spirit that many other singers did not have, and in the haze, Coulson could hear a youthful attachment, like a girl in a song, happily enjoying the precious time of innocence and happiness. Whenever her eyes flashed and Gu Pan flew, this feeling became stronger.

This rare temperament makes the girl look particularly different, even if she is only simple light makeup, pure and pure hairstyle, and her appearance looks exquisite and flawless under the gentle light.

The appearance of such a girl made Coulson a little unexpected, he watched the girl take the big man back to the store, but he did not follow in, but subconsciously looked around again, as if he wanted to find out if there were any S.H.I.E.L.D. colleagues around.

He wasn’t worried about any trouble, contrary to that, trouble was always a guiding light for S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, he was worried about whether something would happen and involve his girlfriend.

Coulson had never been able to distinguish between work and personal matters, he didn’t like to mention his relationship status to his colleagues, and he didn’t want anyone to know that he was dating Audrey—- although it was inevitable—- if possible, he even wanted to split himself in half, half turning into the snowy night, the other half pushing the door in, and accompanying her like a normal man.

But he is not divided. I am human, so I can only carefully try to maintain this state.

After looking around and finding nothing unusual, Coulson looked inside through the glass covered with large moisture, and this time he was surprised again, and in the corner of the coffee shop, a beautiful woman in a long red dress jumped into view.

“Jean Grey…”, Coulson read the man’s name silently, never expecting that three people who should be irrelevant would gather in this unknown little shop. Jean’s identity is not a secret to the senior agent, the phoenix woman, as the representative of the mutant academy, has participated in contact with the outside world several times, but at that time she was a gentle and capable woman, but now the phoenix woman seems to have become another person, she sits alone in a dark corner, her eyes are unfocused, and her body faintly exudes an aura that is not close to people.

Just as Coulson was puzzled outside the window, a car stopped on the side of the road, and a man with crimson glasses stepped out of the car and pushed a wheelchair to bring a kind-looking bald old man to him.

Ignoring Coulson, who was standing next to him, the two began to talk to themselves.

“She looks better today, maybe contact with ordinary people can calm her down.” After looking through the glass for a while, the bald old man said.

“But I still think the piano is very different from before.” The man behind the wheelchair worried. “It must have been the last time she was in distress on the island that left her with a serious psychological shadow, can’t she be treated again, Professor?”

“I will,” the professor sighed slightly, glancing casually at Coulson next to him.

This glance seemed to see through the entire life of Agent S.H.I.E.L.D., so that he had no secrets to speak of, and sweat instantly soaked Coulson’s insides. Yi, he knew who this was —-Professor Xavier, one of the two giants of mutants, the famous mind controller.

Even if it is just an elderly man, for Coulson, the pressure is far more than the strong man Victor just now.

Fortunately, they didn’t say anything more, just stood quietly outside the window, waiting for the crowd in the coffee shop who was about to leave work to disperse.

In this state, a car stops next to the mutant’s car, and Ross gets out of the car.

The night breeze ruffled her hair, and Rose, as if she hadn’t seen three familiar people, looked at her girlfriend without squinting and draped her over a trench coat.

Behind Mary Jane, Jean followed and walked out, followed by Audrey.

Three women associated with the three forces passed by outside the café like this.

As the two cars walked away, Coulson let out a long breath, his intuition quietly reminding him that something seemed to need attention, but reason could not parse it.

“Phil?” The attentive Audrey raised her head and wrapped her cello’s hand around the back of her two cold hands.

“It’s okay,” Coulson smiled down and took her into his arms.

In the mutant’s car, Laser Eye carefully spoke with Jean, and occasionally turned his head to find that the professor looked wrong.

“Is it because of the saber-toothed tiger?” He immediately asked, remembering that the old opponent of the Brotherhood was following an ordinary person, and the laser eyes felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

At this time, he could not think of more.

The professor didn’t answer, and as the car drove across the road, the street lamp outside the window flickered on his face.

It was a long time before his voice sounded.

“Tomorrow, I’m going to meet my old friend.”

In his whispered words, the car of the Mutant Academy accelerated into the boundless darkness.
