The process of changing children's memories took longer than expected. After 6 hours of work, the last child was about to sit in the chair.
"Eliza, you are the last one," Adrian said as he looked at the child who was holding the bear in her hand.
Eliza looked at the children sleeping in the beds scattered around the store and said: "... I don't want to ..."
"Huh?"
"I don't want to forget Big Brother!"
Despite being a young age, Eliza was a smart little girl.
Adrian put his hand on his head as if he had a headache; the process with the other 49 children went smoothly. All of them had their memories changed; the only thing Adrian should do now is to contact Leona and ensure that they have a childhood normal with safe adoptive parents.
But he did not expect the last child to deny his request; he approached the little girl and knelt in front of her, he stroked her head a little and said: "Eliza, you are just a child ..." He sighed and continued. "You are a child who had her childhood stolen, this is unacceptable; every child deserves a normal childhood, I know that you cannot understand my words now, but I hope that you will understand in the future."
"... No!! I don't want to forget Big Brother! " Eliza said with eyes that threatened to shed tears.
Adrian saw this and was unmoved. He believed that what he was doing was right. Maybe someone said that there are other ways to resolve this issue, but Adrian does not want to involve innocent children in pure selfishness.
Adrian was creating subordinates to deal with enemies in the future, and to deal with a possible alien invasion, he does not want to involve innocent children in that fate.
Adrian knew that he can be considered a child due to his physical age, but he also knows that he is no longer innocent. He is fully aware of what he is doing and knows that his actions in dealing with Kilgrave were not innocent.
Eliza may be smart for a child, but she is still a child who has not been fully contaminated by the world's rot. She can still live a normal life.
If in the future Eliza decided to join him, Adrian will welcome her with open arms. After all, she will be aware of her own actions.
But now she is just a child who was the victim of a cruel person.
Adrian smiled a little and said with a gentle smile: "See you in the future, Eliza."
He stroked her head for the last time and said in a soft voice, a mysterious power voice. "Sleep."
Eliza closed her eyes gently and fell asleep. Adrian took Eliza like a princess and walked over to Jean. While walking over to Jean, Adrian made sure that Eliza's symbiote was asleep. "I'm counting on you." He said in a neutral voice.
Jean nodded and took the little girl by the arm.
Without Adrian knowing, all the women who overheard Adrian's conversation with Eliza approved him. These women already had great respect for Adrian, having saved them from hell and empowered them to not fall into that situation again.
But now that respect has evolved into admiration, they were sure they would not regret the decision to follow him.
Even Emma Frost approved of Adrian's decision.
Emma Frost can be a very extremist woman. After all, she just looks at mutants and doesn't care about humans, but even Emma Frost cares about children, she faithfully believes that no child is born evil, it is society and the environment that she was born who corrupts them.
Because of these thoughts, she approves of Adrian's decision.
Jean looked at Adrian for a brief moment and smiled a little, but soon that smile disappeared, and she got a serious face, put her hand on Eliza's head, and started doing her job.
Adrian's house.
Leona asked with a smile on her face, it was quite obvious that she was happy with what she was seeing and hearing: "What do you think of this decision, Natasha?"
"You know very well what I think," Natasha said in a serious tone.
Leona nodded; she knows very well about Natasha's past, a child given to the red room to become a murderer, a child who was robbed of the chance to have a normal life.
Natasha looked at the computer and then looked at Adrian with loving eyes, but after thinking about something, a frown appeared on her beautiful face.
"What's the problem?" Leona asked when she saw her friend's expression.
Natasha looks at Leona for a moment and says, "I just thought ... Did we give Adrian a chance to have a normal life?"
Leona's face twitched a little, but then her expression relaxed as she looked at Adrian. "You know his past, he can't have a normal life, and with the addition of that damn parasite, Adrian will never have a normal life." She looked at Natasha. "Because of those thoughts that we came to New York, right? We wanted to give him a little bit of normality until the situation got out of hand; we also wanted him to m_a_t_u_r_e socially, after all, just with interactions with other people that make someone grow. "
Natasha nodded in agreement with her friend's words. "Don't forget about the entity."
Leona lets out a breath that contained several frustrations on this subject. After all, it is something that she has no power at all. "Yes, you still have that woman, don't you?"
"Yes," Natasha said with a cold face.
Leona stared at the roof of the house as if thinking about several things. "What state is your sister in?"
"She is stable, but I don't know why she is not waking up, after all, she is totally healthy."
"Maybe it is a problem in your psychological state?"
"I don't know, I'm just worried that she won't wake up."
Several days have passed since Yelena Natasha's sister arrived at this house, but she still hasn't woken up even after so many days. Leona and Natasha were worried at first. After all, she is not eating anything, how can she be well?
But to their surprise, Yelena's body is extremely healthy. According to the SHIELD doctor, she can sleep for years without eating anything that will not harm her health.
This is a mystery that the two women failed to understand.
