The coastline of New York is beautiful. Many sea view hotels stand on the seaside. Most of them are high-rise buildings with good views and a panoramic view of the sea scenery.
This season is the off-season for seaside vacations, so there are not many people on the beach, and the few guests in the hotel did not notice that the originally sunny day suddenly became foggy.
An undetectable wisp of fog swept across the New York coastline, and the two figures behind him flew by, as if they were chasing the air. At this moment, the sea breeze drifted by, and the fog seemed to be blown away.
He made a sharp turn and stopped on the roof of the New World Hotel Building.
Iron Man, who was wearing an iron suit, also made a sharp turn. The sound of the mecha landing and the sound of mechanical friction sounded at the same time. Seeing the wisp of gray mist on the opposite side condense into a human shape, Iron Man's visor rose up with a "click", revealing him.
A face full of anger.
Soon, Captain America also jumped up. He shouted to the mist-shaped figure opposite: "Schiller! Stop!"
When Schiller appeared again, he was not wearing a black suit, but a white doctor's uniform. He said helplessly: "I stopped, will you listen to my explanation?"
Before he could finish speaking, a miniature missile flew over. The moment the missile was about to touch his body, Schiller turned into gray mist again and started running around New York.
Originally, Stark and Steve were flying past the rooftops of the tall buildings in New York one after another, but soon, another figure joined them, Peter swung over with a spider thread, and stood side by side with Steve.
Jumping into the air, he turned around and asked: "Captain! What's wrong? Why are you running?!"
"Peter! Go and stop him!!"
"Stop him?" Peter turned his head back and looked forward, but he only saw Iron Man flying in the air. He said in surprise: "Are you fighting again? But this is New York! Captain, it may affect ordinary people.
Human!"
"It's not Stark!" Steve said helplessly: "Didn't you see that fog in front of you?"
"Uh... I've actually seen it a long time ago. Is that some new gadget invented by Mr. Stark? Why does it fly? And it's still flying in front of you?"
Steve adjusted his breathing while running, and had to explain to Peter, making him look a little out of breath.
"Peter! You... forget it, don't you know yet? That fog is Schiller!"
"Doctor Schiller?! Peter was shocked. He said: "What happened to him? Why did he turn into a fog????"
Peter's head turned around, sometimes looking forward at the fog, sometimes looking sideways at the fog that looked like Steve, and he didn't know whether he should believe this fact.
Steve was talking while running, and there were some interruptions. He coughed twice, slowed down, then pointed ahead and said: "Peter! Catch up with him! Hurry! I can't run anymore..."
Peter hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe Steve. He shot a thread of spider silk and stuck it to the roof of the building, swung up, and soon caught up with Stark who was flying ahead.
"Mr. Stark!!" Peter shouted: "We can't catch up with him like this, we have to surround him!!"
Hearing Peter's voice, Stark finally woke up a little from his anger. He suddenly realized that his current state was really stupid. The fog in front of him didn't seem to be using his full strength at all. He was wasting energy.
Stark directly connected to the communication on Peter's spider suit and said: "Surrounding tactics."
"receive!"
Facts have proved that the speed of Spider-Man and Red Bee is very terrifying. After a while, Schiller was blocked by Spider-Man who was wrapping up from the flank. However, he did not panic at all and turned to the side to avoid the swooping Star.
Gram, and then drifted in the other direction.
"Are you going to keep running like this?!" Stark turned on the mecha's speaker and shouted to Schiller.
"I brought five energy cores with me, which is enough to chase you around the equator! Jarvis can control the suit to automatically cruise, and I can also take a nap on the way..."
After hearing this, Schiller seemed to think it made sense. If he kept running like this, he would definitely not be able to use up Stark. It was not a matter of physical strength, but mainly because running like this day and night would be equivalent to running day and night.
Does he have to work overtime? He just came back from vacation!
Suddenly, the fog stopped, and then turned into an arrow with a "bang" sound, pointing to the building closest to the few people.
Stark was floating in the air, holding his arms, and slowly flew towards the place pointed by Schiller. Peter looked at this scene, but felt a little familiar. After a few seconds, he suddenly realized: "Oh! This is not Stark.
That gray fog peeking out of the window on the day of the Industrial Expo?!"
When Steve, who was following him, arrived late, Schiller formed his human form again, and then said quickly: "Listen to my explanation."
Steve stared at Schiller's expression and asked, "Are you Dr. Schiller?"
"Isn't this obvious?" Schiller sighed and said, "I knew that guy was not so kind. When he persuaded me to take a vacation, I should have thought of..."
He shook his head, seeming a little helpless, but the few people on the opposite side did not hear his soliloquy. Stark opened his visor again, and there was still a little bit of undiminished anger on his face, and he said: "
Schiller! You went too far this time!"
"I know that everything in this world cannot be done according to the rules. If that were the case, we might not be able to solve most of the troubles."
"So I don't care about some of your and Nick's actions. Although I know that the means you do something may not be so glorious, but someone has to do this kind of thing. I understand you."
Stark said very seriously: "But this does not mean that you can raid SHIELD's base, kidnap hostages, and then threaten us, nor does it mean that you can cooperate with Hydra to assassinate those important figures!"
Just as Schiller was about to speak, Stark said: "I know, that was done by your other personality, but if one of your personalities is Hydra, that means you have to receive treatment!"
As if he was afraid of irritating Schiller's emotions, Stark took two steps closer, then stretched out his hand and said, "Listen, I'm also annoyed by some people telling me, 'I'm doing this for your own good,' but I'm
I have to say this for the first time..."
"Just because we are friends, we must stop the dangerous behavior of your personality to prevent you from being harmed."
When Stark was talking, Peter and Steve didn't speak, because they had never seen Stark with such a serious attitude. Peter and Steve didn't understand Schiller's specialness, but Stark did
It couldn't be clearer.
He believed that Schiller, like him, was the only person who had ever reached the uniqueness, but since he could not find a third example, Stark did not know whether there was only one condition for becoming the only one, or whether there were more people who had reached the uniqueness.
There is nothing special about it.
Therefore, he is not sure whether the person who reaches the only one will suffer from mental illness such as multiple personalities like ordinary people, nor does he know if there are multiple personalities, whether another personality will share the only vision and produce
Harmful, if this is really the case, then things will be troublesome.
Just when Stark was about to continue persuading, a portal suddenly opened in mid-air. Strange walked out of the portal angrily. He said to Schiller: "You tricked me into going to the spaceship to do it."
Experiment, and then accuse me of being Hydra. It turned out to be to bypass me and do business with Mephisto?? You are breaking the contract, do you know??"
Strange was obviously very angry, as if a large amount of money had disappeared before his eyes. He waved his hand, and the ring behind him shone brighter and seemed to be flying towards Schiller. He said: "
The legal team of the Holy of Holies is on the way, you must give me an explanation!"
Schiller was about to speak when suddenly, a roar of helicopter rotors sounded in the air. Nick hung on the ladder lowered by the helicopter and shouted to Schiller: "You really know how to find a place! I have the best secret base."
You made a mess and I lost tens of millions of dollars! What do you want to do next time, can you say hello in advance?!"
"Schiller, you have to go back with us..."
"You have to give me an explanation!"
"Explain, I need to explain..."
"Why on earth are you doing this?"
"What the hell is going on with Hydra?"
"You're going too far, you know that?!"
"Stop!" Schiller said loudly, raising his voice. He took a deep breath, turned to Strange first and said, "Did I frame you? Didn't your experiment on the spacecraft succeed?"
"Uh..." Strange choked and said, "Success is success, but that's not the reason why you framed me!"
"How did I frame you?"
"You..." Strange wanted to tell everyone plausibly what a meticulous conspiracy Schiller had weaved just to make Iron Man and Captain America misunderstand him, but he reviewed something in his mind
After this incident, it was discovered that Schiller did not seem to have framed him.
"In the Hydra organization, my code name is doctor, so what? Am I not a doctor? Or is there only one doctor in the world: you?"
"But you deliberately misled me..."
"Then why were you misled?"
After saying that, Schiller folded his arms again and said: "Also, I broke the contract? I bypassed you to do business with Mephisto? Who told you this? If you really want to draw such a conclusion, it belongs to you.
I just took that share..."
"Wait, you mean, you have my share?"
"Otherwise, you are the Supreme Mage."
Strange's expression immediately became hesitant. He touched the ribbon in his hand and then the ring. Schiller continued: "If you don't leave, you want me to talk to you here."
Are there any conditions for sharing?”
With a "Zila" sound, the portal opened, and Strange stepped in. Before leaving, he did not forget to say: "You'd better give me a price that satisfies me, otherwise..."
Seeing Strange leaving, Schiller turned to Nick again, pointed to the side with his arm and said: "Get out of here! Otherwise, I will immediately call the IRS to surrender for tax evasion, then become a tainted witness against you and apply for the witness protection plan.
"
As soon as the words "IRS" came out, Nick waved to the helicopter pilot without looking back: "Let's go!"
"Hey, Nick! You just left like that?! Do you really believe that he will surrender??" Stark looked up at Nick who was flying further and further away. Nick turned back and shouted at him: "Haven't you noticed yet?!
He is a madman!"
Staring at the helicopter that flew further and further away until it disappeared, Stark was speechless. Then, he found that Schiller turned his head to him again. Stark shook his head and said: "Don't try to shake me, Stark will not
Compromising with you!"
Then, he saw Schiller slowly put his hand into his pocket, and then took out a recording pen.
"Click, I realized that I was really stupid in the past..."
"I discovered that I was really stupid in the past..."
"I discovered that I was really stupid in the past..."
"Do you think you can sway me like this? This childish trick of yours..." Stark snorted, and then he heard Schiller say: "I remember, Miss Pepper's birthday is coming soon.
, this should be a very good birthday gift, what do you think?"
With a "boom", a miniature cannonball hit Schiller. Stark flew up and said: "Give it to me!!"
"That's enough!" Steve's voice came. He knew that he had to stop the farce that was getting more and more biased. He stepped forward, looked into Schiller's eyes and said, "If you are really Dr. Schiller, you should
Will cooperate with us."
"Your other personality says that you are innocent, you are not Hydra, and you are our friend, then you should stand with us to fight against the evil Hydra, right?"
"What do you want?"
"Come back with us, doctor, and we will treat you."
"I swear, if you are really innocent, I will never hurt you, nor will I let anyone hurt you. I guarantee it with the honor of Captain America." Steve said seriously.
"I don't believe in the reputation of Captain America." Schiller also looked into Steve's eyes and said. He saw a trace of disappointment in Steve's eyes, and then he continued: "But I believe in Steve's reputation."
Rogers."
After saying that, he took the initiative to come up to Steve and said, "What are you going to do? Put handcuffs on me?"
"No." Steve shook his head and said, "It is precisely because I am unwilling to do this, to treat you with violence and a disrespectful attitude, to treat an innocent person who has not done anything bad, that why I did not directly
Take action."
Schiller stared into Steve's eyes and saw that there was still fatigue and vicissitudes of life there, which was nothing like the energetic eyes of Captain America in the past.
He sighed and said: "Steve, you know what? Now I stand in front of you and am willing to surrender, not because you or Stark really have the ability to threaten me, but because of you, Steve
husband……"
His tone became a sigh: "Steve Rogers, a truly good man."
Ten minutes later, Schiller sat on the only chair in the center of an office in the SHIELD underground base. It was not an interrogation chair, just a very ordinary armchair, so there was no restraint device, and neither was this place.
The interrogation room was just an empty staff office.
But Schiller still sat calmly on the chair, making no movement. He just looked up at the flickering light bulbs, quite like lying down and accepting defeat.
His very cooperative attitude made Stark not know what to say. Schiller did not look at Stark standing at the door. He still looked at the light bulb on the ceiling and said: "I think you should be here now."
I think if I fight with you, it will be more conducive to promoting the development of things."
"However, the situation of not knowing each other without fighting and letting go of grudges with a smile is not suitable for me. I don't like unnecessary consumption."
"If the outcome of a battle is that everyone can sit down and talk in peace, then it's best to skip this strenuous fighting process. How about you just treat us as if we've already fought and start talking directly."
"Are you aware of your other personality?"
Schiller nodded but did not speak. Stark then asked: "Who will show up first, you or him?"
"It seems that you have indeed studied a lot of psychology books, and you got the point right."
"So?" Stark had a bad feeling.
"He came first." Schiller told the truth.
Stark's premonition came true. The moment he heard the answer, he closed his eyes hard and cursed in a low voice.
"So, he is the main personality?"
Schiller shook his head but said nothing. Stark took a deep breath and said, "It seems that psychological treatment is more difficult than I thought."
"I've told you a long time ago that if the patient is unwilling to cooperate, then the psychiatrist can't actually do anything."
"Why are you unwilling to cooperate? Are you worried about what measures we will take to deal with your other personality?"
Schiller lowered his head, looked forward, looked at Stark and said, "You didn't understand a key issue. It's not that I'm unwilling to cooperate, it's just that I'm unwilling to cooperate with you because you can't cure me."
Stark took a few steps forward and came to the opposite side of Schiller. He looked down at Schiller from top to bottom, but he did not feel any pressure on him. He said: "I know, as long as
After studying theoretical knowledge for a few days, I can't be called a psychologist, but at least I can ask about your symptoms, right?"
"Tony, like Peter, you are not suitable to be a psychiatrist." Schiller tilted his head and said slowly: "This is not because you are not smart enough, nor is it because you have not systematically studied theoretical knowledge."
"What's that for?"
"Because you are too compassionate."
“Shouldn’t doctors be compassionate?”
Schiller shook his head and said: "In a sense, compassion is the fundamental motivation for becoming a doctor. It is precisely because of compassion for patients that one can learn complex and difficult knowledge to treat them."
"But in fact, if you get to the end of this road, you will find that excessively entering into the patient's situation and empathizing with them will only destroy yourself."
"Not to mention..." Schiller looked up into Stark's eyes and said, "You are still trying to treat me, Tony, this is very dangerous."
The look in his eyes made Stark want to retreat, as if he was the patient sitting in the chair receiving treatment.
Stark realized that some of the theoretical knowledge in the book was very difficult to apply in practice. For example, a condescending posture could not strengthen his confidence as a doctor, and this "patient" who was sitting in a chair receiving treatment
", more like a doctor than him.
Just as Stark was about to say something, his phone rang, and the screen showed a call from Steve. He paused, then turned and walked out of the office, answering Steve's call.
"Hey, I'm here with Bucky, you'd better come over."
"Why should I go there? To disturb you and your old best friend?"
"I'm not kidding, Tony. Bucky told me how Schiller's other personality kidnapped him and... I can only say that he is more dangerous than I thought. You'd better not rush to give him
treat."
Stark hung up the phone. He tilted his head and glanced at Schiller who was sitting quietly through the window above the office door. He put away his phone and strode towards the corridor.
When he came to the ward where Steve and Bucky were, Stark paused before opening the door. At this time, he heard Steve's slightly serious voice coming from the ward: "Bucky
, do you still remember what happened during this time?"
"Yes, I remember." Another hoarse voice came: "My memory is a bit broken and chaotic, but some of the fragments have been swirling in my mind..."
"Do you remember...Howard Stark?"
At this moment, Steve heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and Stark walked into the ward, as if he had just arrived. Steve immediately stopped the topic. He stood up and said to Stark:
"You'd better come and hear what Schiller did to him."
Stark stood there without moving, but glanced at Bucky, then at Steve, and said: "Are you sure he is awake now? I don't want him to stand up suddenly and give it to one of us.
Go up."
His tone was very unfriendly, but Steve didn't care. He said, "I was about to say this, do you want to know how he got rid of the brainwashing?"
Stark looked up at Steve, waiting for his next words. Steve looked back at Bucky and said, "Schiller not only kidnapped Bucky, he tortured him for 6 hours, and then..."
Steve swallowed, his Adam's apple trembling, as if he was remembering something terrible.
"In 6 hours, he completely tore apart the personality that was brainwashed by Hydra."
"He drove some wedges into Bucky's body..." Steve made gestures with both hands, trying to explain the process clearly, but Bucky's deep and hoarse voice came: "'Some' is not very accurate, he used
I bought more than 40 wedges.”
"If I had not received special modifications, I would definitely be dead by now, and it would be caused by pain."
Steve covered his forehead, lowered his head, and sighed deeply. He said, "No matter what, Schiller's personality is too dangerous."
"The word 'danger' is not very accurate either." Bucky's dry voice came again: "He is a madman."
"At the beginning, he woke me up. I thought he wanted me to suppress the brainwashed personality. But later, I found out that he just wanted me to witness all this. He wanted to find an audience to see him.
performance.”
"He tortured that personality crazy in front of me. I don't know how many pieces it broke into, but in the end, he was completely wiped out."
Bucky's voice seemed a little numb, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, but it sent a chill down Stark's back.
Bucky was lying flat on the bed. He moved his eyes away from the ceiling and looked at Stark and said, "I remember Howard Stark. I remember that I was ordered to cause a car accident and kill the couple."
"No, Bucky, don't say that." Steve turned back and stretched out his hand to stop Bucky from continuing, but Stark walked up and stopped Steve's movement. He looked into Bucky's eyes and said:
"Do you know who I am?"
"I know that you are very similar to him." Bucky closed his eyes and said, "The reason why I mentioned this topic is because, after that lunatic did all this, he told me that if I saw a person with
If you look like Howard, tell him all this."
"The death of the personality brainwashed by Hydra was very painful. Even as a spectator, it made me feel extremely scared."
"This is the reason why he woke me up before he did all this..." Bucky's hand held the guardrail tightly and said, "That personality has paid the price, and now it's my turn."
Steve heard an unusual meaning from Bucky's words. He quickly walked to Bucky's side, held his arm and said, "Don't be like this, Bucky, I think we can talk...
"
Bucky's expression has always been numb, as if he has been in a controlled state for many years and he can no longer make expressions, but Steve saw a kind of determination in his eyes.
"Someone has already paid the price for you." Stark glanced at Steve, and then said to Bucky: "You should be lucky that your friend, when faced with a choice that should have nothing to do with him,
The choice as always...sacrifice yourself."
Stark tilted his head to the side and said: "...a complete bad guy."
Bucky turned his head to Steve. He had guessed everything from Stark's words. He saw that Steve was in a very haggard state. He had a lot of problems due to sudden anxiety symptoms and continuous insomnia.
He has heavy dark circles under his eyes, a pale face, no blood on his lips, and red bloodshot eyes all around his blue eyes. He doesn't look like Captain America at all.
Bucky stared into Steve's eyes and said, "I've never seen you like this."
"Sorry, I'm a little tired recently. Maybe I'll be fine after a night's rest."
"No, I mean, I'm glad that the first person I saw when I woke up was Steve Rogers, not Captain America."
Bucky's numb tone finally had a slight fluctuation, and he said: "Forget those damn lies they fed you. The war is over, and there are only two of us left."
Steve's arms began to tremble non-stop again, and the various negative effects caused by acute anxiety have not faded away. This has made him very mentally unstable, seriously affecting his body control.
Stark interrupted everything in time and said: "What we want to discuss now is Schiller's status."
"It stands to reason that if that personality is also Hydra, he has no reason to help Bucky get rid of his brainwashing state." Steve sighed and said, "On the way here, I thought about it calmly.
.”
"If he is really Hydra, what kind of damage has he caused?"
Stark continued to think along his train of thought. He thought for a while and said: "Although the difficulty suddenly increased when we were dealing with Hydra, the final result was that we ran to the tentacle monster's lair.
There was a fight there and it was all ruined."
"My monitoring shows that Hydra seems to have died down a lot recently, and the number of cases that used to pop up incessantly has decreased a lot."
Steve touched his chin and tried hard to concentrate on thinking. He said: "Although he kidnapped Bucky, he helped him remove his brainwashing. If you ignore these violent methods, maybe only he can do it.
at this point."
"But what cannot be denied is that he himself admitted that he was Hydra, and the clues for assassinating important people also pointed to him." Stark continued.
"But now, he's hiding back in Dr. Schiller's body. We can't use violence against him. Schiller did nothing wrong... By the way, is he willing to cooperate?" Steve raised his eyes and asked Stark.
.
"He said he was willing to cooperate, but he just didn't want to cooperate with me." Stark shook his head and said, "He said it was because treating him would be dangerous, but I can't figure out what the danger is."
"Tony, I don't mean to belittle your learning ability, but I feel that any subject cannot be fully mastered by just studying theoretical knowledge for a few days, especially a profession like doctor, which may require a lot of practice, so...
…”
"You don't have to be so tactful. I know I'm not a professional. Since he is unwilling to cooperate with me for this reason, then I will find a professional for him."
Stark seemed to be in a fight with Schiller. He picked up the phone, called Pepper, and said, "Help me invite all the world-class experts in psychology and psychiatry that I can. I want to give advice to a sick man."
A serious doctor conducts consultation..."
The next day, Steve and Stark stood guard at the door of a consulting room in Arkham Sanatorium, watching the scene in the room speechlessly.
"Hey Tim, long time no see, are you still hanging around in Florida?...What? Are you married? Congratulations, that's really weird. I remember when you were studying at Harvard, you were a famous lothario. How did you change that?
Got an idea?" Schiller said, patting a black doctor on the shoulder.
While the two of them were chatting, another thin white doctor came up and said: "Schiller, it's been a long time no see. Why didn't you tell me when you came to New York? Speaking of which, instead of working at Presbyterian Hospital, you went to
What are you doing at the sanatorium?”
The black doctor also said: "Yes, you were the best among us at that time. Even if you didn't stay in school to teach, you wouldn't end up in a nursing home, right?"
"I came to the Presbyterian Hospital before, but someone made trouble for me there. As you know, I came here to get some peace and quiet."
"Oh, Professor Till, why are you here? How are you? Are you still teaching pathology?" Schiller turned his head and said to another gray-haired old professor, whose temper was obvious.
Not very good, he said: "The manager of Stark Group called my godson in the middle of the night and said that he wanted to invite me to treat patients."
He sighed, looked at Schiller, and said, "I didn't expect to come here to see you. What's wrong with you? Please describe your symptoms."
"Professor, don't be like this. I haven't taken an exam for a long time." Schiller said as he saw another figure. He walked over and said, "Samantha, have you also received an invitation?"
"Dr. Schiller? I didn't expect to see you here, but don't tell me that you are the subject of this consultation?"
"Yes, who knows what Stark thinks?"
Stark, who was outside the door, poked his head in and took a look. Steve said to him: "Are you sure this is an expert consultation? Why do I feel like their class reunion?"
Stark sighed and said: "This is normal. The top people in a certain circle all graduated from those schools. They are either classmates, alumni, or teachers and students, but it doesn't matter, as long as they can cure the disease.
.”
But soon, they heard the doctors' conversations in the room again.
"Samantha, is your obsessive-compulsive disorder getting better? I remember the last time we talked on the phone, you said you had adjusted the dosage of your medication. How was the effect?"
The blond female doctor shook her head and said, "Don't mention it anymore. I was a little busy during that time and didn't take medicine on time, so it got a little worse, but it's much better now."
"By the way, is Hope still living in a psychiatric hospital in Los Angeles? Hasn't his family considered transferring him?"
"He is doing well in Los Angeles. His attending doctor is the professor who taught him basic psychology. He can further his studies during his hospitalization. I wish this would happen."
"Hey, Schiller! Come here, Professor Till is looking for you!"
After Schiller walked over, the old professor pushed up his glasses and said, "Stark came to us not to treat your autism, and your symptoms don't need treatment. Let me guess, your anxiety disorder."
Has it gotten worse again?”
"A little bit, but not serious. This time they may be trying to treat my multiple personality disorder."
"Multiple personality? When did you suffer from multiple personality disorder?" The black doctor Tim looked at him: "Remember Angel? He just called me a few days ago to tell me that his multiple personality disorder is much better and he is going to school.
When we were in school, he always felt embarrassed because of this. Remember the dance? He almost lost his dance partner."
As he said that, everyone laughed, and the thin doctor said: "I guess Stark, who invited us here, has no understanding of psychology and psychiatry at all. Laymen always like to make noises.
When I hear about mental disorders, I think they are terminal illnesses."
"There is no way, there are still many people who don't know about psychological and psychiatric treatment." The old professor sighed and said, "You study hard and refine your professional skills just to eliminate prejudice..."
Stark outside the door said to Steve: "I think this is not a class reunion, but a patient exchange meeting."
"Damn it, can't I be a psychiatrist if I'm not sick?"
"I don't think this is reliable at all." Steve concluded: "It seems that they often treat each other, but no one cures anyone..."
Stark covered his forehead and said: "Forget it, it seems that this method won't work. Let's go to more professional people for help."
That afternoon, Stark and Steve arrived at Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. When they explained their purpose to Charles, to their surprise, Charles shook his head and rejected their request.
Steve sighed and said: "Professor, I know that you mutants are unwilling to participate in this kind of thing, which may cause you trouble. I also understand that the mutants themselves are not in a good situation..."
"It's not because of this." Charles denied: "Actually, I am happy to help, except for this matter."
"Why?" Stark asked very confused.
"You want me to treat Schiller, but in my opinion, he cannot be treated."
"What's the meaning?"
"His condition...oh, no, it can't be said to be an illness. It should be said to be his condition. It has gone beyond the scope of a disease and is more like an ability."
"You can't ask me to cure a superpower, just like I can't cure your intelligence, or his strength, it's not necessary."
"Ability?" Stark and Steve looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. They didn't understand what kind of mental illness could be called an ability.
"Maybe you don't understand what I say. If you can get his consent, then maybe I can show you why."
"He said he is willing to cooperate with treatment. I think we don't need to ask again, right?"
Charles shook his head again and said, "If you really want to do this, then go to bed on time at night and I will come find you."
At night, Stark came to the Alliance of Radiance base in the dream and successfully met Charles, but did not see Steve. He asked Charles: "Didn't you say he was coming too?"
"Yes, but... he seems to have some insomnia. If you think I can help him..."
"No problem at all, he will never argue with you."
"Okay." As soon as Charles finished speaking, a confused Steve appeared in the dream base. He covered his forehead and said, "I must be too tired, otherwise how could I dream about Steve in my dream?"
Tucker?”
Stark snorted coldly and said, "Let me just say, not everyone has the ability to control their consciousness in dreams."
In the next few minutes, Charles explained the current situation to Steve. Steve sat on the sofa, covering his forehead and said: "So, we are indeed in a dream now, and then we have to find out through the dream."
Dr. Schiller?”
"Yes, I already called him during the day, and he agreed to our visit at night."
"Visit? Why can't he come here?"
"You will know soon."
Then, with a wave of Charles's hand, several people arrived outside the gate of the base. The thick white mist enveloped them. The huge steel city built by Stark kept receding in the field of vision, and they quickly walked through the dreamland.
Soon, a small black spot appeared on the horizon, and Stark squinted his eyes and looked in that direction.
Within a few seconds, they quickly approached the place. As the distance got closer, both Stark and Steve saw that it was a huge Tower of Babel.
In an instant, they arrived at the door of the tower. Charles stepped forward, pulled the knocker, and knocked on the door. The door opened with a creak. Schiller, who opened the door, was wearing a white uniform. This made the door open.
Charles breathed a sigh of relief.
He whispered to himself: "Fortunately, it's not the cylinder head before, he is just a chatterbox..."
Stark and Steve stepped inside. As soon as they stepped inside the tower, they were stunned by the sight in front of them.
It was a huge, prosperous, bustling place with people coming and going - a tall tower that reached the sky.
Wherever you look, there are endless floors.
At this moment, Stark and Steve finally understood what the superpowers Charles was referring to.
Schiller turned back, closed the door, opened his arms, and said:
"Welcome to my mind palace."
I wrote a big chapter because it is difficult to divide the plot into chapters if the plot is relatively coherent. I have a certain artistic pursuit of breaking chapters: C
