Chapter 857: Bright Stars (II)

"Ever since my parents died, I haven't had a home of my own. When I was in boarding school, I had to live in a dormitory with people I hated. After finally leaving the school, I had to rent a house outside."

Polaris covered her forehead with both hands, instinctively blocking her expression. She said, "I was once kicked out by my landlord because of my ability. I wandered on the streets of New York in the middle of the night. The only thing my ability can bring me is It keeps me from being so cold, and keeps me from having to fight for a corner to sleep like other homeless people.”

"Later, I went to the X-Men. I admit that it was a place with a good atmosphere. Everyone greeted you with a smile. Even if there were occasional conflicts, Professor X would try his best to mediate to the satisfaction of both parties. "

"But I just couldn't stay there, I just... couldn't... you know? Every second I spent there, I felt anxious, and talking to everyone there made me miserable. ”

"Later, I left the X-Men, and no one understood me. After returning to the Brotherhood, the situation did not get better. I didn't want to see Eric at all, and I didn't want to see his expression..."

"Later, the mutants walked out of the earth and came to the Andromeda Galaxy. We got a very beautiful island in the sky. I began to fantasize about having my own home there, a warm house, decorated the way I like... "

Polaris gently pressed his eyes with his hand and said: "For this goal, I fell in love with that job, even though it was nothing special and even very boring." "

"With Eric here, I don't have to do any work at all. Every day is just repeated moving and splicing. I said what shape of building components I wanted, and Eric said no. I don't know why it couldn't be done, but it just couldn't be done."

Polaris was trembling when she breathed in. She said, "Perhaps he thought I had too many things to do, and I had weird thoughts that troubled him every day, so he drove me back."

"I went back to the apartment I rented before, and then he came over again. I knew what he wanted to do. I knew he wanted to scold me for causing trouble for him. I didn't go back to school and didn't work well... "

"I really hope that he disappears from my life and never appears again!" Polaris pursed her lips and said, "But every time he breaks in like this and then dictates my current life..."

Schiller looked at Polaris and said, "You feel that being with the X-Men makes you miserable. Can you tell me why?"

"I don't know." Polaris shook his head and said, "I just think it's all false, and I even feel angry about it..."

"The future of mutants and my future, I have been thinking about these issues since I can remember. People in the X-Men and the X-Men don't seem to like to discuss this topic. They like to focus on the present and feel that there must be something before the car reaches the mountain." road."

"But I know that there is no more way. They are paralyzing themselves and dying slowly. I want to remind them, but I don't want to be the person who spoils the fun. If they feel that they have to have one last sweet dream before destruction, then Just let them do it.”

"Do you think you are more awake than them?" Schiller asked.

"I just have more experience than them." Polaris lowered his head and looked at his fingers and said: "The children who can enter that school, their parents still love them and let them go to school, even if their parents want to abandon them, Professor X will also care about them..."

"So much so that they didn't realize that the situation of mutants is just like the situation I was in. We may be kicked out at any time, and they have been trying to find ways to kick us out."

“But many of us are shouting that as long as we behave well and please the landlord, we can stay. Some people say that we should enact laws to restrict both landlords and us tenants. Some people say that we just won’t move. Let's go, who can do anything to us..."

Schiller tapped the table with the tip of his pen and said, "You used 'you' and 'we' in these words. Do you think mutants and humans are actually two kinds of creatures, right?"

"I know that the current mainstream argument is that mutants evolved from humans, so we should be the same race..." Polaris shook his head and said, "But the fact is that we are neither the same nor suitable to live together. ”

"This may be hard to hear, but I've really had enough of living with ants. I'm not insulting ordinary people, but how do you want me to control my power and concentrate to ensure that no trace of my power is leaked? ? As long as there is a slight loss of control, hundreds of ordinary people will die. "

"Should I do nothing every day, focus on the spread of my own power, pay attention to every change in magnetism, to protect the lives of ordinary people? Otherwise, I will be abused in all kinds of ways?"

"Don't say they have ever offended me. Even if they hadn't, I wouldn't be able to live like this!"

"Okay, Miss Lorna, don't get excited." Schiller comforted Polaris, and then said: "Let's divide this into two issues. On the one hand, it is your feelings for your father, and on the other hand, you Concerns about the future of mutants.”

"Let's look at the first question first. Let's ignore the issue of your life experience and just talk about the way you get along now. According to what you just described, Magneto Eric said two sentences to you in total. Do you think this is normal? ?”

Polaris stared at Schiller. The expression seems to say "What's wrong with this?".

"I mean, judging by the standards of ordinary people, should this be the scene when a father and daughter meet again after a long separation?"

"I don't think of him as a father, and I think he doesn't think of me as a daughter either." Polaris said, turning his head to one side.

"We need to first figure out the cause and effect relationship. Is it because you don't treat him as a father and he doesn't treat you as a daughter that the way you get along is like this, or is it because the way you get along is like this that you don't treat him as a father and he doesn't treat you as a daughter?"

Schiller's words were a bit confusing. Polaris was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know. Anyway, from what I know him, this is the case."

"Okay, I won't say he is your father, or even your friend, but just say he is a stranger. Do you think that if we happened to meet in an apartment, the conversation would be like this?"

"He is not normal at all!" Polaris continued Schiller's words: "I have met many people in my life, and no one is like him. He only has a stern face every day, expecting you to understand his eyes, and he is unwilling to say a word no matter what!"

"You hit the point, Miss." Schiller smiled and said: " He is not normal, what about you? "

Polaris was about to speak, and Schiller said in front of her: "Faced with the sudden appearance of a familiar person, your first reaction is resistance, the second reaction is attack, and the third reaction is to deliberately provoke him. Don't you think there is something wrong with your behavior?"

Polaris bit her lip, shook her head, and said: "I have always been like this, I don't think there is anything wrong..."

Schiller nodded and said: "The problem I am talking about is not that you are a lunatic. Or mentally ill, but that you don't realize that there is something wrong with the emotions that drive you to do these behaviors."

"Resistance, attack and overreaction often appear when people feel fear. What drives you to do these behaviors is not disgust or resentment towards Magneto, but fear."

"I..." Polaris was about to refute, but suddenly stopped. She heard the sound of the key falling to the ground last night.

With a "clatter", a bunch of keys fell to the ground, then flew up again and hovered in front of Charles. Magneto said, "That's it, she's afraid of me."

Charles frowned and said, "Lorna is not timid, nor is she afraid of fighting or getting hurt like some children. She has always been brave and strong. Why is she afraid of you?"

Magneto looked at Charles silently, as if waiting for him to give an answer. Charles thought for a while and said, "The emotion of fear often leaves painful and long-lasting scars after a violent impact."

"You may not have scared her this time, or you may not have scared her after she grew up and reunited with you."

Magneto frowned, and Charles said to him, "Think carefully, what did you say and do when you and little Lorna met for the first time?"

Magneto gradually fell into a look of recollection, merging with Polaris's pensive face. At the same time, the two found the small fragment in the surging waves of memory.

The blue sky and the sea are the same color, and the waves are constantly rolling on the coast. Every wave is like an impressionist brushstroke, wantonly swaying, but exquisite.

On a cliff not far from the coast, a wreckage was billowing black smoke. Two small black shadows approached the cliff, and the young Magneto fell down.

Looking at the wreckage, he vaguely heard the cry of a little girl from there. He raised his hand, and all the plane fragments flew into the air, revealing Lorna Dane hiding there.

At that time, she was still very young, sitting in a ruin, like a broken doll.

At this moment, Magneto's eyes looked through time and space and looked at the childhood North Star again. He found that the look in the little Lorna's tearful eyes when she looked at Magneto was not gratitude and relief, but deep fear.

"At that time, I didn't know what mutants were..." Polaris bit her lip tightly and said, "A strange man in a black robe and a helmet fell from midair and cleared everything around me..." "He walked towards me... walked towards me... like a monster!!" Polaris' body began to tremble, one of her hands tightly grasped the edge of the table, and then said, "He locked all the magnetic fields nearby. I had nowhere to escape. I couldn't move, and I couldn't even speak..." "Just like last night, he controlled all the magnetic fields around me. I was powerless to fight him. I could only ask him to stay away from me..." Polaris clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles began to turn white, and she said: "I screamed because I knew that I couldn't do anything else except screaming at him to get out of here..."

"Don't recall it anymore, Miss Lorna." Schiller sighed and said: "Relax, because we are going to discuss the cause of this fear."

"What is the cause? Polaris turned pale, and she said: "It's because of that arbitrary monster and his powerful power..."

What he didn't expect was that Schiller shook his head and said:

"No, you are not afraid of Magneto... You are afraid of mutants and their powerful power that is invincible but may get out of control at any time."
