“Ava Ava”

The silent call echoed in the energy-filled restraint chamber.

It is already difficult for Ava Starr to tell where the sound comes from, and whether it comes from the real world?

Still the blue sea of ​​energy filled with light?

She tried hard to open her eyes, but the action was very difficult.

With pain.

Just like a patient suffering from a severe cold, his brain is drowsy and his body becomes very insensitive, and it is difficult to respond quickly to painful stimulation.

But that pain emerges in every part of the body.

Just like acupuncture during paralysis, it will cause more torture than simple pain.

"Ava wake up and don't sleep!"

Between the sinking of consciousness and the intermittent awakening, the calling sound became more real.

Ava tried hard to keep her eyes wide open, and this simple move took several minutes.

The world before her is no longer real.

The blue light filled every part of the vision, as if there were two worlds overlapping, and those blue halos were like kidding her, playing hide-and-seek.

Sometimes it dissipates and sometimes it reappears.

It's like lying under the sea, you can vaguely see the shaking water waves, but it's difficult to really touch the world outside the water.

She was falling into the blue sea.

The connection to the real world is rapidly weakening, a world where she has lived for nearly 20 years, she is waving goodbye to it.

That is the sea of ​​quantum.

A mysterious, unknown world is very different from everything in the real world. The physical concepts and world rules she understands do not apply.

That's a new world.

A world where pain is no longer available.

Light.

The colorful light bloomed in front of Ava's eyes, like sinking into the sea, but still looking at the world on the sea. The sunlight was refracted through the water waves, rolling in her eyes with balls of light.

She raised her hand, and in the cold sea of ​​quantum, she tried to hold the light.

She has lived in the real world for 23 years, her friends, relatives

Those memories rolled in the numb pain.

"Ava!"

The call from my ears was more realistic, and a scorching energy was also transmitted into the restraint chamber, as if a ball of flame was burning in the fireplace, and I was staying by the beating flame.

This added a little warmth to Ava Starr's paralyzed body.

The warmth dispelled the body's paralysis and even temporarily suppressed the pain.

It was like a pair of warm hands stumbled into the water, holding Ava's raised arms, and completely awakening her from the call of the Sea of ​​Quantum.

Hill's face reflected in Ava's vision.

The face was full of worry, just like the expression she had when she first saw Ava in the ruins of the Big Bang in Argentina 12 years ago.

She wants to help her.

It was she who rescued Ava from loneliness and fear, and brought her back to the real world, and she had never given up on her.

Ava's consciousness was a little confused.

The power of the quantum sea was entangled in her ever-changing body and disturbing her thinking. In Ava's eyes, Hill's image slowly overlapped with her already blurred mother's image.

"Mother"

Ava called out.

In the open restraint warehouse, Hill heard Ava's call, and she subconsciously looked back at Carol beside her.

The latter was half kneeling in front of Ava's hospital bed, holding Ava's left hand that was constantly changing as she disappeared and reappeared.

This girl who has been trapped in the unstable state of the body's molecular structure for a long time is about to be captured by the Quantum Sea.

Although Dr. Bill Foster tried his best to try to keep her, in the Argentina explosion 12 years ago, Ava Starr's body stable structure had been completely destroyed by energy from the quantum world.

This always changes back and forth in reality and illusion, and the poor child's fall into the sea of ​​quantum is an inevitable ending.

Everyone helped her stay in this world for another 12 years.

But today, she can no longer resist the call from another world.

"Tell her more conversation."

Carol said to Hill, then carefully wrapped his cosmic energy on Ava's body.

The last stable form of Ava is maintained with that burning force, but this maintenance cannot last long.

The power from the quantum world continues to emerge in Ava's body. It is growing rapidly and will soon break through Carol's energy barrier and forcefully take Ava away.

It was the call of a world, and even the powerful Carol Danvers could not stop this scene from coming.

Hearing Carol's words, a trace of entangled pain flashed in Hill's eyes.

She turned her head away and tried to make her expression look gentle. She looked at Ava lying on the hospital bed.

The girl's face was extremely pale, and her body was like a ghost, which would always dissipate strangely and then reappear again.

Even the hands that the two hold together will pass by in an instant and then re-hold them at the next moment.

It's like a ghost that seriously violates the laws of physics.

"Mom is here."

Hill said to Ava, who was lying on the hospital bed in the gentlest voice:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

She tried to help Ava get her long scattered hair, but she couldn't do it.

The hair that floated on the pillow just looked there, and Hill couldn't touch the reality of the hair at all, as if it was just a realistic projection.

With just one sentence, the tears in Hill's eyes couldn't stop flowing down. She pressed Ava's extremely cold hand on her forehead that was constantly dissipating and reuniting.

It's like despair and sadness over the illness of a true loved one.

In 1998, Hill and Merlin brought 11-year-old Ava back to New York from the ruins of the experimental explosion.

Although Ava has lived with her father's friend, Dr. Bill Foster, since then, Hill, who worked at S.H.E.L.D., would always take time to see her.

She is like Ava's guardian, more like her adoptive mother.

After the collapse of S.H.L.D., after the collapse of S.H., after the SL.D. relocated to Raccoon City base, Ava's connection with the Quantum Sea increased every day, and Ghost Agents were no longer dispatched to missions.

Hill would go to the laboratory every day, stay outside the restraint, and talk to Ava, who was getting worse.

They are not related by blood.

But they really look like a mother and daughter.

"Don't cry"

Ava, who was lying on the hospital bed, felt very cold. After she woke up, she also knew that she might completely disappear from the real world today and fall into the mysterious quantum world.

She was always afraid of the arrival of this moment. After all, she was just a 20-year-old girl.

But when this moment really came, Ava's heart was quite calm. Perhaps 12 years after being tortured by pain in this life, she was also eager for relief.

"Don't cry, Hill"

Ava said to Hill in a faint voice:

"This is liberation, not only for me, but also for you. I am satisfied that you can stay with you for 12 years and experience so many things together."

"Don't say stupid things!"

Hill wiped her tears and said to Ava who was lying there:

"Lona and the others are rushing over. Don't you want to say goodbye to your friends? Ava, hold on for a while, please hold on for a while."

Ava shook her head gently.

She didn't seem to want her bad looks to be seen by her friends at this time. Her eyes turned and said to Hill:

"Where is Bill? Wouldn't he come to say goodbye to me?"

"He's going to find Hank."

Hill whispered:

"He is not willing to give up yet. He wants you to stay. He wants to cure you, Ava, he treats you as his real daughter."

"I've already caused him too much pain."

Ava's pale face showed a difficult smile, and she said:

"Every night, I can see him in the laboratory, painfully studying the design drawings. I can see his efforts, but I have delayed him too much time."

"Bill should have used his wisdom in more important places. I shouldn't have bound him anymore, so do you guys."

"Don't say stupid things!"

Hill gritted her teeth, stretched out her trembling hand, and stroked Ava's already illusory face. She tried hard to smile, she said:

"No one will think you are a burden. Be obedient and hold on for a while, okay? Be good."

"Click"

The sound of a door opening sounded in the lab. Hill turned around and saw Riven, Lorna, Laura, Matt, Eric, Charlie, Aunt May and Little Peter rushing out of the pink wooden door.

Everyone has confusion and despair on their faces.

They heard about Ava and rushed over as quickly as possible.

"Ava!"

The green-haired girl pounced on Ava's bed with tears on her face. She looked at Ava who was dying in front of her in disbelief.

This poor girl is like a soap bubble, which has become extremely illusory, and like a bubble on the sea, which may break and disappear completely in the next moment.

"I won't allow you to leave!"

Lorna tried to hold Ava's hand, but grabbed it.

It was as if Ava and they were already in a different world, and what was left here was a dying shadow.

"Where is Merlin? Where is my brother?"

Lorna looked back at Riven who was silent and screamed:

"Brother must have a way, call him here! Ava is almost dead! Did he not care at all?"

“Merlin is not a god.”

Riven grabbed Lorna who was a little out of control. She held her sister in her arms and stroked Lorna's trembling body. She looked at Ava and she said softly:

"Merlin, who is not magic, is already in action."

"Don't cry!"

Ava looked at the desperate Lorna and said with difficulty:

"Send me away with a smile, friends, let me remember your smile in that world, don't cry, okay?"

“Ava.”

Matt, who said nothing, walked to the bedside with a blind guide stick.

He half-kneeled in front of Ava's eyes. The blind young man had never seen Ava's face. He could only sense her with his voice.

When he was a child, even when he was in college, the relationship between the two was always good, and they even had a relationship beyond friendship.

But it came to an abrupt end at some point.

"Matt"

A shy smile appeared on Ava's pale face, and she said in a gentle voice like the wind:

"You are here too, fortunately you can't see it. I'm ugly now, surely, ugly."

"terribly sorry."

Matt whispered in a gentle voice:

"I wasn't with you when you need it the most. I was hurt by your letter. I thought you really knew you would disappear in the end, so you rejected me, right?"

"That's right."

Ava showed an open-minded smile on her face. She raised her hand with difficulty and tried to touch Matt's face, but couldn't do it.

The power of the Sea of ​​Quantum has filled every cell of this child. Her foundation of existence in the real world has disappeared, and she will truly disappear at any time.

Not death.

But it's worse than death.

Lonely, always lonely in another world that cannot be understood.

"I heard that you have a girlfriend, it's great."

Ava whispered in a low voice, as if she was talking to herself:

"Why give your feelings for someone who will eventually disappear? Matt, you have a kind heart and you deserve better wishes for you."

"It's broken up."

Matt's voice also trembled.

He heard it.

It was like the sound of a soap bubble bursting. He knew that Ava was disappearing. He was losing his best friend since childhood, the best

The girl who missed her.

"A blind man, and a ghost walking silently"

Matt whispered:

"We should have been together long ago. If you can come back, I will wait for you. Ava I will wait for you."

Ava can no longer answer him.

The blue light was beating on her body, and she moved her lips, but she could no longer make a sound.

The sound of waves like the sea kept echoing in her ears, and the blue light spread every inch of her vision, and a pair of warm hands hugged her.

The shallow sea of ​​quantum

The new world is accepting her.

"Bye now"

The silent farewell echoed in the restraint warehouse, and Hill screamed in despair.

She opened her arms, and at this moment of separation from life and death, the always calm commander could no longer suppress the turbulent feelings in her heart.

"Mom is here, don't leave! Ava, don't leave!"

She screamed and rushed to the hospital bed. In the blue light, everyone saw Ava's phantom also opened her arms and hugged Hill.

Just like the beautiful soap bubbles in the sun, the radiance of the flowing shines, disappearing in the next moment.

Matt could feel a faint kiss falling on his forehead, and Ava's chuckle gradually distant.

He lost her.

Forever

Lost.

"No!"

A scream came from behind everyone, and Riven turned around and saw Daisy being brought into the place by Gordon in the blue light.

She is the best relationship with Ava among all the children.

pity

In the end, it was one step late.

"She will be back."

Carol hugged Hill who was almost collapsed, and she gently patted Hill on the shoulder, she said:

“Merlin will definitely bring her back”

"The man made a promise to us that Ava called you mother, she was also Merlin's daughter, and that man would bring his daughter back."

"Believe him! Hill, believe him."
Chapter completed!
