“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."
