Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Catherine's voice appeared so abrupt that she was startled.

He turned around violently, and the 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. It seemed to be insomnia. There was a trace in his big eyes. Easy to find panic.

Cyber ​​breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps because he was thinking too seriously about the problem just now, so he didn't find the little girl approaching. He beckoned towards Catherine. The little girl approached him and sat on the sofa beside him. She used She looked at Saiber's expression secretly in the corner of her eyes, and found no abnormality. She relaxed.

But at the next moment, a big hand fell on her head and messed up her neatly combed hair. Catherine blew her hair like a kitten, and then heard that Cyber ​​had a flirtatious taste problem,

"Sneak to see what I'm doing? Little Catherine, what are you going to tell me?"

The little girl tangled her fingers a bit, even if Cyber ​​had just messed up her hair, she didn’t care about it. She looked at Cyber ​​with some fear, shrinking courage secretly, but when she spoke , Lowered his voice again, just like a small animal being bullied,

"Saibo, do you believe in superpowers in this world?"

"Uh?"

Cyber ​​said a bit, what's the problem?

But when he thought of the girl's age, he suddenly realized that this age of children didn't like to be cranky. Maybe it was the girl's doubt about what movie she saw?

Thinking of this, Cyberton felt that he had a great responsibility, and he had to instill some good ideas into this little girl, so he showed a very gentle smile and nodded.

"Well, I believe it."

"Then do you hate those with superpowers?"

The expression on the face of the little girl was richer. She grabbed her finger and asked more seriously, "Do you like them?"

"Uh…"

This question again asked Cyber, he scratched his head,

"How to say, it doesn't matter if they don't come to provoke me. If their superpowers are interesting and they are not bad guys, I might like them."

The expression on Catherine's face was a little richer. She stood up from the sofa and looked at Saber with great anticipation.

"Then do you hate me? Cyber."

This question made Cyber ​​laugh uncontrollably. He stretched out his hand, grabbed the little girl's slightly fat and grinning face, and gently pulled his left hand outward.

"Do you say you hate you? Little girl, what's going on tonight, always talking about these messes..."

"Om"

Cyber ​​felt his hands shaking slightly against Catherine's small face, and then Catherine standing in front of him disappeared with a naughty smile.

No...not disappeared, but the whole person fell into the ground...the real "melt" into it, as if it fell into the black water, he could even see Catherine's face under the hair under the floor.

It's like playing a game with him!

But this game caused Cyberber to stand upside down. He all stood up from the sofa, pinched the back of his hand for the first time, confirmed the pain, confirmed that this was not a dream, he nervously started looking for Catherine The trail, under the dim light, all seemed so unreal.

The three questions of the little girl suddenly connected together, and all the doubts of Cyber ​​disappeared at this moment.

Catherine...she is what she said to be "super power", this girl... she is a mutant!

Cyber ​​turned his head, and there was no smile on his face, no ease. His expression fell into Catherine's eyes that appeared from the wall on the other side. The little girl who was originally happy saw this expression. Red, tears poured out of his eyes.

She has seen this expression many times. The former parents may have ignored her disappearance for this reason. After falling into Gotham, she was initially panicked. Those who were sent to the orphanage were taken care of by the administrator. The memory of abuse is subconsciously thought by her sound mind, and it is these "superpowers" that make her unpopular.

She never used it again. Unless it was a critical time, how did a little girl, who was only 9 years old, overturn from the high walls of the orphanage on a cold rainy night? How did she spend nearly a year on the cramped narrow island.

Catherine felt that Cyber ​​would give up her because she was "different from the rest", and the dad would not accept a monster. She felt cold, even in a warm room, she used her arms Slowly squatting down holding the body, squatting in the corner, shivering like an abandoned beast.

Seeing this scene, Cyber ​​couldn't help but sigh. Before he received the gift from Coleson, he also thought he was a freak, almost exactly like Catherine now, he could almost think of this How much pressure the girl was under to confess to him the "secret" that she carefully maintained.

Perhaps it was because of Jon, the fat man, that Catherine was much more dependent on him than he had imagined. He stepped forward, squatted down in front of Catherine, and stretched out his hand to try to pat her head like before, but was caught by a little girl. Escaped.

The way she dodged was very peculiar. When Cyber's hand was stretched out, her small half of her body receded into the wall. Obviously, the expression of Cyber ​​had just broken her heart.

Seeing this scene, Cyber ​​was a little helpless. He thought about it, and sat cross-legged in front of Catherine, crying with his head down. His left hand pulled out of his pocket, and he drew out a dagger, shaking it in front of the little girl. After shaking, and then swiping down, the sharp blade cut his skin, not a terrible wound, but the red blood still flowed out.

Cyber ​​twitched his teeth, and the sleepy heat in his body was awakened. In Catherine's stunned gaze, the small wound slowly stopped bleeding and healed. After not a long time, it disappeared completely. The silent hall looked Nothing seemed to happen, but the dozen drops of blood on the floor proved that what Catherine had just seen was not an illusion.

Cyber ​​flicked his smooth arms in front of Catherine, who had stopped crying. He reached out and took a cigarette from his pocket. He held it in his mouth. He propped his body back with his arms comfortably and swallowed towards the sky. Smoke ring, then looked down at the little girl.

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

"I... I'm scared."

Catherine slowly “walked” out of the wall, with tears on her face, she sniffed her nose and said seriously to Cyber,

"Saibo, do you also have superpowers?"

"Isn't it called superpower? The name is very frustrating, OK..."

Cyber ​​reached out and hugged Catherine gently, rubbing her stubble on her forehead,

"We have a name called a mutant, uh, it sounds more frustrating than that, but you have to remember, Catherine..."

The little girl sat on Saber's lap and looked at him, and Saber looked up at the night sky outside the window,

"We are not freaks, we are normal people! Normal people who are stronger than them! By the way, when do you have this ability?"

"A few years ago, once I fell asleep, I dreamed that I could go through the bed, through the wall, and even through the earth, and then when I woke up, I found myself lying in the basement of my home..."

Catherine scratched her head. "Perhaps it was the reason for that dream. My mother was terrified at that time. She repeatedly told me that I couldn't tell anyone about this."

"and then?"

Cyber ​​breathed out the smoke. This was the first time that the little girl took the initiative to tell her story in the past half a month. His problems seemed to remind Catherine of some bad things, but she was silent for a few seconds. , Just continue to say,

"I didn't think that happened for half a year. Until half a year later, when my kitten fell into the sewer, when I rescued it, the neighbors saw me, they said I was a witch, and then we I moved and moved to Brooklyn. From that day on, my father and mother who had been very good to me changed. I always kept myself in the house. I was afraid that I was really the witch who pointed them to me. I heard them crying in the bedroom in the middle of the night, and I knew they still loved me."

Catherine's eyes were red again, and Cyber ​​grinned, showing a mocking smile,

"Those who point you at you are silly X. Leave them alone, how did you come to Gotham?"

Catherine's body shivered, probably remembering the abuse of fat man Jon, and Cyber's left hand was patted on her back before she calmed down.

"This is a trip from New York to Toronto. It was a trip for my parents to make me happier. Before I passed my birthday, we went to many places. Gotham was our third last stop, and then at the station Here, my parents and I were lost, and then...I have never seen them."

"Saibo, do they not love me anymore? Did I make them angry?"

The little girl threw herself into Saber's arms. He could feel her inner fear, the fear of being abandoned by loved ones. This kind of feeling was also familiar to Saber. He grew up as an orphan and had more than once Think about the same problem at midnight.

Why should they abandon him?

Is it because of forced life, or because of some weird reasons?

Cyber ​​hopes to be the former, but after he grows up, he will stop thinking about these issues. Let him pass the past. The most important thing for people is to live the present and be qualified to look forward to the future. .

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

"No, they must be very worried about you, silly girl, don't cry, don't you want to go to New York with me? Let's go find them and give them a surprise, OK?"

"Well! Will you not want me? Cyber?"

"No... I won't, because we are a class of people, aren't we all freaks they say? How can one freak abandon another freak?"

Cyber ​​held his hands on Catherine's shoulders. He sat on the ground and looked at the sobbing girl. He smiled not so nicely, reached out to help her wipe away her tears, and said to her very seriously,

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

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

"Dangdang Dangdang!"

He put it solemnly between Catherine's palms, reached out and let the little girl hold the cold toy that was too big for her, and said to the ignorant little girl with a long heart.

"Weapon, this is probably the most loyal partner in the world. You see, as long as you hold it tight, even if the whole world abandons you, it will silently guard your safety. You are still too small, although powerful , At least more useful than mine, but it is not enough to protect you, hold it tight, Catherine, when others try to hurt you..."

Cyber ​​squinted and smiled, smoothed the little girl's scattered hair, and whispered in her ear,

"When they tried to hurt you, they killed them...can’t give them the power to hurt you a second time, you know, this world is too dangerous, too cold, it doesn’t even want to give us even a little more love, so We must learn to love ourselves, remember?"

"Is it like treating fat Jon?"

"Yes! That's it!"

"Well, I remember!"
