The other two also reacted. The unique closed structure of this hospital, originally thought to be a cage, now looks like a shelter instead.

Wanda's arrival brought new news from the outside, letting Schiller and Strange understand that the plague outbreak in Magic Pivot Town was far more serious than imagined, and it might not even be a town-wide blockade, but a riot directly.

Although trapped in the ward, it is indeed relatively boring, and there are all kinds of rule restrictions, forcing them to treat illnesses, but no matter what, it should be easier than dealing with the plague and riots outside.

And Schiller had already discovered one point before, which was that the patients sent in had no consciousness when they first arrived, including Stark and Wanda; they looked like they were in a coma when they came in.

This actually left space for doctors to subdue and anesthetize them. Otherwise, if a werewolf crawled out of the passage, and gave the doctor a bite coldly, it might not be defensible.

"I think we can look at this problem from another angle." Schiller said, "Before we thought that it might be that the medical staff here offended those two children, and the children often heard them complain, so they chose to punish them in this way."

"Most medical staff, although they complain, also spare no effort when rescuing and treating patients. Everyone does their best to save the patients and wants to save more people. This busy work seems like a punishment, but isn't it also satisfying the doctors' wish to treat and save people?"

Strange rubbed his chin and said: "It can also be understood this way. The number of people getting sick in this world every day is fixed, but the number of people who get treatment can be more or less. Hospital busyness doesn't mean there are many sick people, but means more people have the opportunity to receive treatment."

"But this world is clearly not like this." Wanda said, "There was a plague outbreak here, so there would be so many patients. Now no one knows why the plague broke out."

"Don't you think this plague is strange?" Schiller asked, "Normally speaking, a plague will only have one kind of disease, such as the Black Death, or some kind of flu. Why do patients have different diseases in this plague?"

"Although they are all infectious diseases, the lesions, pathology, and pathological manifestations are completely different. So many infectious diseases breaking out together doesn't look like a natural phenomenon."

Schiller and Strange were talking while their hands didn't stop, still treating the two patients lying on the operating table one after another. Their movements made Wanda dazzled.

"Can I help with anything? Gentlemen?" She asked actively.

"Can you help prepare medicine?" Schiller said while suturing, "I'll tell you the process of preparing medicine, and you just pour it into the test tube."

"No problem, I will be as careful as possible."

Wanda walked to the medicine preparation table. Schiller said while concentrating on the operation: "The first row, second bottle on the rightmost shelf, pour in one unit, which is one scale on the test tube."

Wanda carefully poured the liquid in. Schiller said again: "Two level spoons of powder in the pink jar on the far left."

Wanda opened the lid of the jar again, scooped two small spoons of powder and poured them in. Immediately after, under Schiller's direction, she ground the herbs, poured the herb juice in, and then took the test tube to heat it.

She did it very seriously and didn't make any mistakes. Schiller praised: "You have a talent for being a nurse, ma'am."

Wanda opened her mouth, but her expression became a bit dim. After drawing the liquid with a syringe, she said: "Actually, I wanted to be a nurse after graduating from high school. The application for nursing school was approved."

"Then why didn't you go?"

"I'm a mutant. They felt it was too dangerous for me to come into contact with patients, so they persuaded me to give up..."

"Then you gave up?"

"What else could I do? Even ordinary hospitals wouldn't do, let alone the pediatric hospital I wanted to go to the most..." Wanda sighed.

"If you had said you wanted to go to a pediatric hospital, they might have agreed." Strange opened his mouth and said, "Pediatrics is the most short-handed. Nurses have to work part-time as childcare workers, and the work is also busy and miscellaneous. Parents are also very difficult to deal with; every nurse doesn't want to rotate there."

Wanda's hand holding the syringe paused, and then she said a bit cautiously: "Then if I can pass the training of nursing school now, can I work in a hospital?"

Schiller turned his head and looked at her in surprise and said: "You want to work in a hospital? I mean, do you want to work?"

"Can't I?" Wanda appeared a bit hesitant, and she said, "Although I like children, it doesn't mean I want to be a full-time mother."

She paused after a while, and said a bit frustratedly: "Fine. I'm looking for a kindergarten for the Billy brothers, but most kindergartens require parents to have fixed jobs. I don't want them to be looked down upon by others in the future."

"Why not work in the Andromeda Galaxy?" Schiller asked, "Now most mutants should be participating in development work, right?"

Wanda shook her head and said: "I don't want to do the kind of work that I can only participate in because I'm a mutant; I want to do normal people's work."

Schiller finished the suturing. He beckoned to Strange, and the two stuffed the patient into the passage. Then he clapped his hands and said: "You don't want to expose that you are a mutant in the circle of Billy and the others in the future? Even if you are already stronger than a god?"

"At least when they are young, I don't want them to be treated differently." Wanda said very tangled, "I'm really tired of the days of drifting but being looked down upon wherever I go."

"Fine, understandable." Schiller said.

"...... Do you have nothing to say? Doctor?" Wanda asked tentatively.

"Uh, say what?"

"Do you think this is normal? People around me all persuade me to accept my identity as a mutant, there's no need to force myself to integrate into ordinary society, Jarvis also said so."

Schiller shook his head and said: "Identity recognition problem is not a disease, just a choice. You can choose to be a mutant, or you can choose to be an ordinary person. It's nothing more than you want to live in ordinary society, you need to pay more costs. As long as you can accept it yourself, then no one can say anything."

"Don't you think I betrayed the mutants?"

"Someone will definitely think so. You are so strong, not contributing to the mutants is irresponsible, but becoming a mutant isn't something you chose; you don't have a responsibility you must bear, unless you turn around and harm the mutants. Otherwise, it can't be called betrayal."

Wanda thought silently for a while, and then said: "What about humans?"

"What?"

"I mean, assuming there is a very strong human, he chooses not to live in human society, nor to contribute to them, but runs to join alien races. Won't you be angry?"

"Can't make such an analogy, ma'am. If you have to say it, it's probably a human who has lived in alien society since childhood and identifies more with his alien identity. Choosing not to live on Earth, but to find an ordinary job on an alien planet, and still standing up to help when Earth has a major crisis—generally, we call this kind of person a comrade."

"Sounds a bit like Star-Lord." Strange said, "He has left Earth for many years, and now he doesn't choose to live on Earth either, still wandering in the universe."

"Then how do you view him?" Wanda asked.

"He's not as strong as you." Schiller said, "And human development doesn't really need his help. It's not quite the same significance as you to mutants, it's hard to make a complete analogy. However, I personally agree with his choice."

"Why?"

"For so many years, he has always lived in the alien world. Although his living habits are not much different from Earthlings, there is a difference in the end; occasionally coming back to play might be fine, but to let him live here for a long time, he might not necessarily adapt."

"Living in an environment you don't adapt to for a long time will cause all kinds of emotional problems. In the end, it might evolve into not only being unable to help, but also possibly causing destruction."

"Rather than this, it's better to let him choose a life he adapts to best. His mood is good, his career is smoother, and he has more energy to take care of his hometown. Just exerting strength at a critical moment is better than anything."

Wanda seemed to finally relax; she let out a breath, sank her shoulders, and then said: "Actually, what I worry about most now is Magneto; he definitely won't agree, but I don't want to listen to him anymore."

"Whether he agrees or not is not important." Schiller said, "Professor X can understand you. He will find a way to persuade your father."

"Then do you think he can understand me? I think he also cares about mutants very much."

"He will." Schiller said, "If he really doesn't understand, I'll go persuade him. But he is a very reasonable person; if you had told him earlier, he might have already introduced you to the nursing school."

"Really?" Wanda still didn't believe it, and she said, "Will he really agree that I stay on Earth to be an ordinary nurse, instead of going to the universe to help them open up territory?"

Schiller nodded and said: "You are indeed very powerful, but the fact is, the mutants without you are already strong enough. Their problems aren't something that can be solved by one or two people's strength, so it doesn't matter whether you are there or not."

Wanda nodded vigorously; she stood in place thinking, seeming to have imagined the beautiful life in the future. Then she suddenly became excited and said: "After I finish this game, I'll go check which nursing school in New York is better..."

"Myers Nursing School!" The two doctors said in unison.

"The nurses who come out of there are very powerful. The head nurse in our department graduated from there." Schiller said, "The only problem is you have to be admitted to New York University first."

"Of course, the Nursing School of Columbia University is also good." Strange said, "The head nurse of neurosurgery graduated from there."

"Yes, that's also good. And Rochester, very famous in women's and children's health nursing."

Wanda leaned over directly. Recently she rarely showed this kind of girlish shyness, but she still stood between the two, hands clasped, looking forward expectantly: "The most powerful doctors in New York, help me write a recommendation letter. Please, you two."

"Then you have to say which of us is the most powerful miracle doctor." Schiller teased her on purpose.

"That's right, who do you think is more powerful between the two of us?"

"Uh, can't both be powerful?"

"No, you must say one who is the most powerful."

"Then it must be Dr. Schiller."

Schiller laughed happily, while Strange pretended to be dissatisfied, staring at Wanda and asking: "Why him?"

Wanda smiled confidently and said: "If I say it's you, making Dr. Schiller unhappy, then he definitely has a way to make you not write the recommendation letter. But if I say it's Dr. Schiller, making you unhappy, you have no way to make him not write the recommendation letter, am I right?"

"Too smart, ma'am." Schiller snapped his fingers and praised, "I think even if I don't write you a recommendation letter, you will be admitted."

"Then don't write it for her!" Strange said.

"Are you discriminating against mutants?" Schiller knocked on the operating table with a scalpel, and then said, "I warn you, Dr. Strange, pay attention to your words and deeds!"

Then he lowered his voice and said to Strange: "Please, this is the Scarlet Witch. After she passes the nursing exam, put her in the Presbyterian Hospital, and we will have the most powerful head nurse in the universe. Dormammu will have to lie down honestly when he comes, and Mephisto will have to queue up to register!"

Strange secretly gave him a thumbs up.

?? Someone said before that there's nothing to write about in Marvel, but actually a bunch of characters' career lines have just started; when on earth can I finish!
