Chapter 3433: Son of Midnight (Thirty-Two)
"Doctor? Are you there? Can I come in?" A clear female voice sounded at the door.
The three busy people, Stark, Steve and Natasha, had already left, leaving only Loki, who was sitting at the dining table helping Schiller hang all the coffee cups on the cup racks according to color and size.
"Come in, ma'am."
Wanda walked in, her long red hair still fluffy and soft, draped loosely behind her head. She wore a high-necked black dress and carried a small dark green leather bag with a silver chain, which perfectly matched the image of a witch in a fairy tale book.
Danny followed behind her, looking completely wilted and haggard, in stark contrast to the radiant Wanda.
Schiller stood up quickly, helped Danny to sit on the sofa, and then said, "I'm sorry, something happened suddenly yesterday, and I had to get rid of that troublesome guy first, so I could only leave you to one of my colleagues to take care of."
Then he introduced Wanda to Danny: "This is Ms. Wanda Lanshere, an excellent nurse and former colleague of mine. I believe her care for you will help you get better faster."
Wanda acted a little uncomfortable because she hadn't actually become a nurse yet, and her name wasn't even Wanda Lanshell. Although Magneto was indeed her father, her last name was Maximoff.
But she does sometimes use this name to go around, especially when some people are unfriendly to her after learning that she is a mutant. Sharing the same last name as Magneto can help her avoid a lot of trouble.
But what Schiller said was not wrong, she did work as a nurse in the game, and became a colleague of Schiller in the previous game. And her care did make Danny better.
Danny nodded and said, "Yes, this lady took me to the hospital, and I didn't have a chance to thank her yet."
"Then what are you doing now..."
"I find that I can't control myself either." Danny sighed in frustration. "Maybe Johnny and I are no different. We are both monsters working for the devil."
Schiller tilted his head and looked at Danny with a complicated look. You can say he was stupid, but he was not a hypocritical person. As soon as he got into trouble, even before he caused any harm, he began to reflect on himself.
But if you say he is smart, he is completely different from Johnny. He was just influenced by Dario and showed symptoms of being out of control, so he felt he had no right to blame Johnny.
At this time, Ms. Francis appeared again. She pointed at Danny's nose and said, "Are you going to give up just like that, Danny? Is this what I taught you? You are not the kind of person who would give in to depravity. You can completely control the devil in your heart. You have such power. Now is not the time to give up!"
"You and your brother are the only Ghost Riders on Earth, and you are the only one who can stop him. If you give up now, who will stop him when he works for Mephisto and kills more people? This is your responsibility, and you must take it up."
Schiller has seen some problems between the mother and son. Ms. Frances is too controlling, and Danny has been taught not to have his own opinions. Schiller even suspects that the ghost of Ms. Frances is a fantasy created by Danny after he could not accept the fact that his mother died.
Of course it would be impossible for an ordinary person, but Danny is Ghost Rider after all, and the spirit of vengeance in his body is quite special. It is said that when he died, he even attracted the angels to attack, so it is possible that such a bizarre situation would occur.
"Okay, Ms. Francis." Schiller quickly persuaded, "Danny is not planning to give up. Maybe his soul is just unstable, a little tired, and he needs to rest. Right, Wanda?"
Wanda saw Schiller's look and quickly nodded and said, "Yes, he is very tired and needs a good rest."
"I can prescribe some sedatives for you. There happens to be a lounge here. Go there and have a good sleep, and you'll be fine when you wake up." Schiller went to write the prescription and asked Wanda to take Danny to the lounge.
After writing the prescription, Schiller went to the basement to get the medicine. When he came back, Wanda had already poured warm water. She helped Schiller give the medicine to Danny and coaxed him to take it.
"God, I don't know how much easier it would be if I had an assistant like you in my psychological clinic." Schiller praised Wanda with a smile.
"Really?" Wanda was obviously happy. She said, "I'm studying nursing psychology recently. Is the effect obvious?"
"Of course, your ability to bring him here safely is a milestone success. Once you complete your nursing exam, I'll be waiting for your resume."
Wanda's eyes were filled with some girlish excitement. She said, "If you are willing to let me go to work, all hospitals in New York should accept me. I will have to choose carefully then."
“Promise me that Stephen and I will take priority, okay?”
Wanda laughed happily, shook her hair, and walked to the dining table. Loki stood up, pulled out a chair for her, and smiled at her.
"For the sake of the friendship between Earth and Asgard, perhaps Asgard should also have a chance to recruit outstanding talents. Madam, what do you think?"
Wanda burst into laughter, and after a long while she said, "It's really hard to imagine that you two are still single. I wonder how many girls you have rejected who were attracted by your sweet words."
Loki smiled and sat down opposite him and said, "There will never be more men who are attracted by your beauty."
Schiller went to the kitchen to pour her coffee, and while operating the machine he said, "Jarvis must have been thankful countless times that he had sculpted such a handsome face when he was shaping his body. I dare say this was his own idea. If Tony had sculpted it, it would have been a disaster."
Wanda seemed to have imagined that scene, and she laughed again, choking herself halfway. At this time, hot coffee was placed in front of her, with the sugar content and temperature she liked.
"Oh my god, doctor, I don't know how you can be so considerate." Wanda sighed, "Before I met you, I didn't even drink hot coffee, it was always warm or half cold."
Then she added sentimentally, "Are you so nice to me because I'm your friend, or because... I'm dangerous, and if I lose control, the Earth might be in trouble?"
Schiller paused, then asked, "Did anyone tell you that? At your community college?"
Wanda scratched her hair and said, "Not really, I just suddenly thought of it... Never mind, just pretend I didn't ask."
"This is a very complicated question, ma'am. When I asked you for help yesterday, did you simply want to help your friend, or did you feel that if you didn't help me, I would use other methods to achieve my goals, which would be dangerous and would endanger your current peaceful life?"
Wanda blinked and said, "I didn't think that much."
"Then why did you give me the car keys?"
"Because you need help."
"What if it's a stranger?"
Wanda thought about it seriously, then shook her head and said, "I won't lend my car to strangers because they might use my car to commit crimes. There are too many such cases."
"If they do that and the police find me, and I'm a mutant, they will think I'm very suspicious and take me back to the police station for investigation, and they won't care what my neighbors think. When I come back, the neighbors will point fingers, as if to say, 'I knew this kind of person would commit a crime sooner or later.' They might unite to drive me out of the community, and then I would have to move, and my peaceful life would be ruined again."
Wanda spoke this series so fluently, obviously she had experienced it many times. Loki couldn't help but look at her with sympathy.
"What about me? What makes you think I wouldn't use your car to commit a crime?"
"Because there's no need. You can do without my car... I mean, there's no need for you to borrow my car specifically to commit a crime, right?"
Schiller laughed and said, "In fact, yesterday I drove your car for 20 minutes at a police chase and even hit a stretched Lincoln."
Wanda opened her mouth slightly in surprise, but immediately said, "You must have encountered an unexpected situation and had to do this. Of course, if there was no emergency, you wouldn't have to borrow a car."
"What would you do if the police came to you?"
Wanda was a little nervous, but she didn't show much anxiety. She swallowed and said, "Jarvis has been keeping an eye on the community's police system. If the police come, he will tell me in advance. I will just say my car was stolen, and they probably won't do anything to me."
"What if you want to move again?" Schiller seemed to be testing Wanda's bottom line, constantly making pessimistic guesses.
"Then let's move." Wanda pursed her lips and said, "It's not like I haven't moved before. I'm good at finding a house."
"What about community college? Classes have been interrupted, and your exams may be pushed back again. As your children grow older and become more noisy, will you still have the energy to continue studying for the exams?"
Loki couldn't help but nudge Schiller with his elbow, asking him to stop provoking Wanda. But Schiller had no intention of giving up, and stared straight at Wanda.
Wanda avoided his eyes, but could still feel his gaze. Schiller's gaze obviously put a lot of pressure on her, and her body began to lean towards the side without Schiller.
"It will eventually pass." Wanda said, "Maybe I can go to the Andromeda Galaxy. The professor will welcome us, I guess."
Suddenly, the pressure disappeared. Wanda realized that she was sweating coldly, her fingertips were trembling, and her chest was denting inward, as if something was slowly digging a piece out of it. Only then did she feel the pain.
Then she was a little dazed, looked down at her hands, and then looked up at her surroundings blankly.
Schiller sat there cleaning the cup, while Rocky poured himself a second cup of coffee. The calm and chaos of the streets in Brooklyn outside the small clinic painted the graffiti of New York in late autumn.
There was no shocking red light, no explosion, no screams, no ruins, and no sudden realization that one had destroyed everything.
She turned to look at Schiller, who smiled at her and said, "I apologize for my offense, but I am also a person who occasionally needs emotional support from friends. Thank you for being willing to give so much to me, even if it's just hypothetically."
The moment Wanda's shoulders relaxed, she suddenly felt angry. She grabbed the bag next to her and threw it at Schiller.
"No wonder you're so sweet today! You actually drove my car to fool the police! That's my new car! I just said that I felt the bumper was a little crooked when I was driving it today! Damn Jarvis cooperated with you and hid it from me!!!"
Wanda's roar echoed in the clinic. Loki gave Schiller a helpless look. Schiller just put the bag aside and said, "But I really filled up your gas tank, and it cost me more than 100 yuan."
Wanda suddenly stopped and said in shock: "More than 100?! But I still have half a tank of gas. Has the price of gas in New York increased again?!"
"Yes, oil prices have obviously fallen, but they have been rising in New York. We should ask some of the energy monopoly companies how much money they want to make before they stop."
"Damn vampires!" Wanda cursed, "The price of gas in New York State has risen all the way to the second highest in the federation! It has increased by more than 30% compared to this time last year! What on earth do they want to do!!!"
