"After my parents died, I didn't have 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 it keeps me from having to fight for a corner just to have a place 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 minute I stayed there, I felt very anxious, and talking to everyone there made me feel 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 I just repeat the transportation and splicing. I said what shape of building components I wanted, and Eric said no. I don't know why it doesn't work, but it just doesn't work."
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 caused trouble for 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 hard...
"
"I really hope that he disappears from my life and never appears again!" Polaris pursed her lips and said, "But he breaks in like this every time, 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, 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, thinking 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
It should be a race..." Polaris shook his head and said: "But the fact is that we are neither the same nor suitable for living 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 even a trace of power out of control, it will lead to the death of hundreds of ordinary people."
"Should I do nothing every day, focus on the spread of my own power, pay attention to every change in magnetism, and 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 break this into two issues. One is your feelings for your father, and the other is you.
Worry 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 with an expression that seemed to say "What's abnormal about this?".
"What I mean is, judging by ordinary people's standards, should a father and daughter reunite after a long separation should be like this?"
"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 the side.
"We need to first figure out a cause and effect relationship. Is it because you don't treat him as a father and he doesn't treat you as a daughter, which leads to the way you get along with each other like this? Or is it the way you get along with each other like this that leads to you not treating him as a daughter?
He treats you as a father, but he doesn’t treat you as a daughter either?”
Schiller's words were a bit convoluted. Polaris was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know. Anyway, that's the way it has been since I've known him."
"Okay, I don't say he is your father, or even your friend, I just say he is a stranger. Do you think the conversation would be like this if we happened to meet in a certain apartment?
?」
"He is not normal at all!" Polaris continued Schiller's words: "I have met many people in my life, and I have never met anyone like him. He just keeps a straight face every day and expects you to understand his eyes, no matter what.
I don’t even want to say another word about it!”
"You hit the point, miss." Schiller smiled and said, "He is not normal, what about you?"
Just as Polaris was about to speak, Schiller said in front of her: "Faced with the sudden appearance of a relatively familiar person, your first reaction is to resist, the second reaction is to attack, and the third reaction is to deliberately provoke him. You
Don’t you think there’s something wrong with your behavior?”
Polaris bit her lip, shook her head, and said, "I've always been here like this, I don't think there's any problem..."
Schiller nodded and said: "The problem I'm talking about is not that you are a lunatic or mentally abnormal, but that you are not aware that there is something wrong with the emotions that drive you to perform these actions."
"Resistance, aggression and overreaction often occur when people feel fear. What drives you to perform these behaviors is not disgust or resentment towards Magneto, but fear."
"I..." Polaris was about to retort, but she suddenly paused. The sound of the bunch of keys falling to the ground last night rang in her ears.
With a "crash", a bunch of keys fell to the ground, then flew up again, hovering 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 dared to fight and is very 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 lasting scars after a violent impact."
"Maybe you didn't scare her this time, or maybe you didn't scare her until she grew up and met you again."
Magneto frowned, and Charles looked at him
Said: "Think carefully, when you and little Lorna first met, what did you say? What did you do?"
Magneto's expression gradually fell into memories and merged with Polaris' thoughtful face. At the same time, the two of them found the small fragment in the surging wave of memories.
The blue sky is the same color as the sea, and the waves are constantly rolling on the coast. Each wave is like the brushwork of an impressionist, wanton and exquisite.
On a cliff not far from the coast, a wreckage was emitting billowing black smoke. Two small black figures approached the cliff, and the young Magneto fell.
Looking at the pile of wreckage, he vaguely heard the cry of the little girl inside. He stretched out 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 the ruins like a broken doll.
At this moment, Magneto's eyes looked at the young Polaris again through time and space. He discovered that in the tearful eyes of little Lorna, the look that looked at Magneto was not one of gratitude and joy, but a deep feeling.
Deep fear.
"At that time, I didn't even know what a mutant was..." Polaris bit his lip and said, "A weird man wearing a black robe and a helmet fell from the air, and then killed everyone around me.
Everything has been emptied..."
"He came over to me... came over... like a monster!!!" Polaris's body began to tremble, and she grabbed the edge of the table with one hand, and then said: "He locked everything nearby.
There is no way I can escape from the magnetic field, I can’t move, I can’t even speak..."
"Just like last night, he controlled all the magnetic fields around him. I was unable to compete with him. I could only ask him to stay away from me..."
Polaris's hands were tightly clenched into fists, and her knuckles began to turn white. She said, "I scream because I know that besides screaming for him to get away, I can't do anything else..."
"
"Stop reminiscing, Miss Lorna." Schiller sighed and said, "Relax, because we are going to discuss the causes of this fear."
"What's the cause? Polaris' face turned pale. 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, what you are afraid of is not Magneto... what you are afraid of is mutants and their powerful power that is invincible but may be out of control at any time."
