Chapter 859: Starry Splendor (Part 1)

Autumn in New York is very enthusiastic. The warm-colored fallen leaves are not a symbol of the gradual death of life. When they drift down from the branches, they carry a kind of unswerving determination, embracing the pedestrians under the trees.

In the bustling commercial street of Manhattan, nature is wrapped in steel walls and no longer has such vitality. However, in slightly remote places, after the rose flowers wither outside the building, bright red fruits are left behind, and the patterns on the gate railings carry an American rural style.

A snow-white hand approaches the railing, but doesn't grasp it at all. The iron gate is pushed open, and a pair of boots steps over the thick fallen leaves in the yard, making a fine, broken sound.

Polaris, who walked into the building, took off her scarf, let out a long breath, wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, and said to the receptionist at the front desk: "Hello, my name is Lorna Dai En, I have an appointment."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The receptionist smiled and checked the appointment record on the computer. When Polaris waited at the front desk, she sighed slightly. Her beautiful face couldn't hide her exhaustion, and there were dark circles under her eyes.

"Hello, please walk this way." The receptionist pointed to the hallway with her finger. Polaris followed behind her. The two got into the elevator and went upstairs. Leaving the elevator, they arrived at the door of an office. The receptionist knocked on the door, and a gentle voice came from inside: "Please come in."

The receptionist stood by the door. Polaris pushed the door and entered by herself. Schiller behind the office desk pushed his glasses and said: "You are Ms. Dai En, right? Please sit. Your appointment for treatment from 5:00 to 9:00 this afternoon still has half an hour. You sit for a while, I will finish processing these documents."

"Okay, Dr. Rodriguez." Polaris didn't say much, she sat on the sofa in the reception area.

Schiller behind the office desk said while writing: "To be honest, Ms. Dai En, receiving your appointment, I am still quite surprised. After all, there is no psychologist in this world more powerful than Professor Xavier. I heard that your relationship is good, why are you not receiving treatment there?"

Polaris lowered her head slightly, brushed her long green hair behind her ears with her hand, and Schiller glanced at her movement.

Polaris rarely has such a soft time. Most of the time, she is vigorous and resolute, looking like she is not easy to provoke, and it is also hard to say whether she is gentle or tired now.

Before speaking, Polaris sighed first. This breath contained too many complex emotions, so that when she opened her mouth, she didn't know where to start, but after pausing, she still said:

"This matter, it has to start from the job Professor Charles found for me..."

The job as a space traffic police Charles found for Polaris could be said to be perfectly adapted to her ability. The only problem was that the workload was too large, really tired, and contributed an indelible contribution to the possibility of World War III.

After doing this job for three days, Stark stopped Polaris from continuing to go to space. Polaris felt very angry, thinking he was looking for trouble, so she didn't intend to pay attention to him, but intended to go to work as usual the next day.

But unexpectedly, that night, Polaris met Magneto Erik at the door of the apartment she rented.

That was an autumn night. The temperature had just dropped that night. Polaris was tired after a day of work, couldn't eat dinner, bought a taco on the side of the road, came out of the elevator, took out the key, and intended to open the door.

Just at this time, she keenly felt the fluctuation of the magnetic field. Turning her head, Polaris saw Magneto appear at the end of the hallway. The moonlight spilled from outside the window made his shadow stretch very long, like a candle about to burn out.

At that moment, Polaris's heart was horrified. Her hand shook, and the key fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Then she saw the key float up, insert into the lock of her apartment door, and help her open the door.

Polaris's arm trembled, she turned her head and shouted at Magneto: "What are you doing?! What are you doing here?! Why do you appear here?"

Magneto didn't speak. He just walked up and signaled Polaris to enter the door with his eyes. Polaris pushed open the door with a trembling arm, walked in, turned around and said to Magneto: "... You can't come in!"

"What are you looking for me for?" Polaris asked again.

"You have a new job recently..." Magneto's low voice echoed in the hallway, like the tremor of magnetic force.

Polaris supported the door frame and took a deep breath and said: "That's right, but so what? You fired me, don't you allow me to find a new job again?!"

Before Magneto could speak, Polaris said: "Alright, I know, it must be Professor X who told you again that I don't read books, but I just don't like staying in that broken school!"

"What's there? A pile of little brats! Do you know what they are doing every day? Freezing the entire teaching building, then burning it with fire, electrocuting all the leaves with electricity, or hitting a big hole in the wall..."

"Do you want me to play these with them? That group of stupid, short-sighted, only looking at the present, childish ghosts! That group of fools who don't understand that disaster is near, how can I stay with them?!"

Polaris's hand gripped the door frame tightly and said: "You should leave here, go back to the Andromeda galaxy, don't appear in front of me!"

"Lorna..." Magneto called her name, but Polaris became more and more angry. She said: "Don't call me that! You don't have the qualifications to call me that!"

Polaris stepped back two steps, looked into Magneto's eyes and said: "Don't think about making me go back to school... Magneto, if it weren't for you, if it weren't for you abandoning my mother, she wouldn't have died!"

"If my adoptive parents hadn't died, I wouldn't have been sent to an orphanage, then sent to a boarding school, and I wouldn't have been bullied by that group of weak, childish, and stupid ordinary people!"

Polaris's chest began to heave continuously, and her fingertips began to tremble. She said quickly: "What did I do? I just broke the bones of those who bullied me, let them never stand up again. So what? That's what they deserve!"

"They stuffed mud blocks into my desk, smeared sticky sugar on the wall next to me, and should have thought that this day would come! I really regret why I didn't kill them!"

"And then? That group of meddlesome X-Men found me, saying I was a criminal! Saying I shouldn't have done this, saying I couldn't hurt ordinary people no matter what... Go to hell with ordinary people!"

"Transfer students bullying transfer students, rich bullying poor, those with both parents bullying single-parent families, haven't they seen through the essence of this group of ordinary people yet? They are not weak sheep that need protection, but a group of disgusting jackals ready to bite others at any time!"

"In this world, no one is more vicious than them! But the X-Men said they want to protect them, care about them, and stand with them!"

Polaris was trembling all over. She looked at Magneto and said: "And now, you intend to stand with them... Get out! Leave here! I don't want to see you again! You damn monster..."

Suddenly, she heard the humming of the magnetic field. Polaris's expression stiffened. She instinctively condensed a magnetic barrier around her, but it shattered instantly. She couldn't compete with Magneto in power at all.

"What do you want to do? Want to kill me?!... You have wanted to do this for a long time, right?! You monster without humanity!!!"

Almost instantly, the storm of magnetic force wrapped around Polaris's body. After the storm dissipated, she lay paralyzed on the ground because she had already fainted, so she didn't see the expression on Magneto's face.

Magneto was not angry, nor was he as serious and stubborn as usual. The expression on his face was very complex.

Very few people could see Magneto reveal so many emotions. In most cases, he was always straight-faced and didn't say a word.

Polaris's falling figure slowly blurred, condensing into a small shadow, reflected in Magneto's pupils.

Ending the memory, he looked at Charles opposite with a straight face, while Professor X still smiled and said: "Yesterday night, you should have expressed support for little Lorna as I said, right?"

"Look, Erik, parents should stand with their children. Even if she caused trouble, you must express that you want to protect her, so that you can reflect your love for her..."

Charles turned his wheelchair to the office desk and said: "I have suggested this to you many times before, but you were indifferent. It seems that little Lorna is indeed different to you, you are actually willing to try."

"Having such a powerful father standing behind her, she can obtain more sense of security. Only in this way can she smooth out the damage caused to her by school bullying before..."

Charles turned his head to look at Magneto again and said: "Children will always cry loudly, but in fact, they don't want much, just a little sense of security."

"You must use actual actions to prove to them that you will always stand behind them, will not leave, no matter what happens, you will be together, because you are relatives, relatives should support each other like this..."

"Lorna..." Magneto's fingertips moved. There were all kinds of emotions in his heart, but these emotions couldn't be transformed into words. In the end, he said: "... Her problem is very serious."

"Serious? Where is it serious?" Charles looked at Magneto with some confusion. He didn't know what happened last night.

At that time, Stark called Magneto and asked him to come back. Magneto really came back, but just after coming back, he went to the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters and met Charles.

Hearing that he came back because of Lorna, Charles warned Magneto that he must not rush over to criticize Polaris.

Even if he wanted to point out her problems, he must first express his attitude, that is, as your father, I will always stand with you, no matter what happens, I will protect you.

So, Magneto went.

But I don't know which link went wrong. The scene that night described by Polaris and Magneto was completely opposite, and the directions of guidance of the two psychologists, Schiller and Charles, were also completely opposite, going in opposite directions.

Schiller reconstructed a large horror movie from Polaris's description, even excluding the ethical part, it was also very strange and terrifying.

But because when Charles asked Magneto if it went smoothly last night, he nodded, Charles felt that the father and daughter must have sat together and talked intimately last night, making the originally indifferent feelings go further and become relatives.

This led to these two psychologists opening up the directions for this pair of father and daughter, which were completely different and going in opposite directions.

"Alright, Ms. Lorna, can I call you that? Because, you know Charles and your father have a close relationship, so you are unwilling to find him, so you came to find me..."

"You will take the initiative to find a psychologist, which means you feel that your psychology may have some problems. Do you feel that there have been any changes in your life recently? Can you tell me about it?" Schiller looked at Polaris opposite and asked.

"Changes?" Polaris frowned, lowered her head, appearing very tired. She said: "I have been very tired recently, even without the strength to lift my arm..."

Schiller took out a medical record and started writing. Discovering that Schiller's attention was not on her, Polaris relaxed a little.

Schiller asked without raising his head: "Is work very busy recently? Have you rested for a few days to relax?"

"I was indeed quite tired a few days ago, but it was much better later. I didn't take a vacation. I feel I don't need a vacation either. When I was in the Andromeda galaxy, I could even work like this for two consecutive months."

Schiller raised an eyebrow and said: "Ms. Lorna, people all need rest. If you feel that you don't need rest at any time, it is very likely that some other emotions are urging you to do so. This emotion blinds your brain, makes it secrete too much adrenaline, and keeps you in an excited state. This is not a good thing."

"When you were working in the Andromeda galaxy, what were you thinking about in your brain?" Schiller asked.

Unexpectedly, Polaris was silent for a long time before slowly spitting out a sentence: "I was thinking... about the future of mutants." ===== CHAPTER 860 =====
