43. Dying Man - Jane Foster
"crash"
In the depths of the Pacific Ocean, under the reflection of the rising sun, a swirling eddy suddenly appeared on the calm sea.
The vortex comes from somewhere under the sea, and there is an unknown energy supporting its evolution and rotation.
In just a few seconds, the vortex became huge, and with a loud noise like a cannonball explosion, the sea water was lifted from below.
A man wearing a cloak rushed out of the sea. He looked at the rising sun above his head with a beautiful expression of freedom on his face.
"I said, how long are you going to hug me?"
In Clark's arms, a calm-faced Lady Diana joked:
"I don't mind falling in love with a man like you, but the question is, aren't you afraid that your wife will be jealous?"
"Hahaha, don't make such jokes, Diana."
Clark laughs as he places Wonder Woman on a nearby rock, saying to Diana:
"A good girl like you will definitely find a happy place, but it will definitely not be me."
"Stop being silly."
The demigod put her hips on her hips and faced the sun. She shook the drops of water from her hair and said to Superman:
"Go pick them up, I'll go first, don't bother me if you have anything to do in the past few days, this trip is really tiring, I have to take a good rest."
"Okay, then I won't send you off."
Clark flew a circle in the air, and then plunged into the sea again.
They discovered the underwater passage leading to the underground world. Clark, Diana, and Arthur were easy to talk about, but ordinary people like Tony and Bruce couldn't pass through the underwater passage under the weight of the sea water.
Arthur can make sea bubbles for them that are immune to suffocation, but Clark needs to rush out of the sea with the bubbles.
As for Diana...
Although the demigod lady does not have the ability to fly, the sea alone cannot trap her.
As long as she wants, she can swim all the way back to London in the Pacific Ocean, and this process will definitely not exceed 10 hours.
A few minutes later, Arthur took Bruce, Clark took Tony, and the four quickly returned to the surface world along the trench of the underground world.
Both Tony and Bruce felt reborn as they breathed the air of this world.
but...
"ah!"
Tony, who was sitting cross-legged on the reef, let out an exclamation, making the other three people turn their heads to look at him.
"What's wrong?"
Clark asked:
"What's matter?"
"sample!"
With a bad expression on his face, Tony held up the temporary closed box made of a battle armor helmet in his arms. Probably because the journey was too exciting, he didn't even realize that the closed box had been broken at some point up.
"A third of the sample is missing...probably fell into the ocean."
Tony looked back at the sea under the rising sun. He really didn't want to go back to the sea to search again. He said with a little regret:
"Forget it, the sealing measures of those samples are also average, and it is estimated that they cannot withstand the pressure of seawater."
"Come on, Clark."
Young Master Huahua raised his head and made a classic Wallace gesture against the sun. He turned around and said to the three people behind him:
"And Arthur and Bruce, why don't you come and sit on my small island in the Pacific Ocean? Everyone is in trouble together. I can afford at least a big meal and a comfortable bed."
"My family will be worried."
Bruce, still a little weak, said:
"I won't go."
"I'm not going either, my wife is still waiting for me."
Clark declined Tony's invitation. He supported the weak Bruce and said:
"You two go, I will send this guy back, and his vaccine, Tony, I will trouble you."
"no problem."
Iron Man made an ok gesture, and he said:
"Leave it on me."
———————————
While a group of heroes escaped from the wild world, in New York in the early morning, in a high-end clinic in Manhattan, the famous surgeon Stephen Strange was holding a laboratory test report in his hand.
His handsome face was full of tangles.
Beside him, Dr. Palmer, who was persuaded to come back to work in the clinic, also had a look of grief and pity.
"Donald just left when his girlfriend..."
As a woman, Dr. Palmer was a little sentimental. She glanced at the ward at the end of the clinic. She lowered her voice and said to Strange:
"Should I tell Jane the news... I'm afraid, I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it."
"She's incredibly lucky to be alive after what she's been through."
Dr. Stephen patted his assistant and girlfriend Dr. Palmer on the shoulder, and he whispered:
"This news also makes me very sad, but I can't hide it. This is the rule of a doctor."
Looking at the ward, he said:
"We're trying to stabilize her until Donald returns from a business trip."
"The development of medical technology in the world is changing with each passing day. Even terminal illnesses that could not be treated before can now be treated by replacing them with intelligent prosthetics."
The surgeon, as if consoling his companion, but more as if consoling himself, said:
"We must be able to find a way to treat her, we must be able to!"
"Um."
Dr. Palmer also gritted his teeth and nodded.
A few minutes later, the door of the ward at the end of the corridor was pushed open. Dr. Strange walked into the ward with the test report and found Jane Foster in hospital gown standing in front of the window.
The girl was standing in the warm sunshine, stretching her body, as if she had just woken up, doing exercises like health exercises.
The wind from outside the window blew Jane's long chestnut red hair, and the sunlight hit Jane's cheeks, making this extremely talented astronomer look full of youthful vitality.
And beside her, there was a drowsy, younger brunette.
The most striking thing about that girl is that...
Mmm, pretty well developed boobs.
"Doctor Strange?"
The sound of opening the door alarmed Jane who was exercising. The latter turned her head and looked at Strange standing at the door. She said suspiciously:
"What's matter?"
"Your assay report is out, Jane."
Strange raised his head, with a look of sadness shining in his gentle eyes, and he said to Jane:
"It didn't turn out well..."
Jane's expression also changed a bit.
After being rescued by Superman from the strange radiation zone under the Arctic Ocean that day, she has always had faint worries in her heart.
As a scientist, no one knows better than her the serious consequences of receiving ultra-high-intensity radiation in a short period of time, but in recent days she has been treated in the clinic where her boyfriend works, and her body is not too bad. Case.
This eased Jane's inner worries a little.
But some things cannot be escaped.
like now...
A tragic news came.
Her face turned pale, and the sun shining on her was still warm, but at this moment, Jane felt a coldness, a coldness from the heart, like a malicious mockery of fate.
Apparently she's going to marry Thor soon...
Obviously a beautiful life will unfold...
Why?
Her body trembled a little, she raised her hand, trying to calm herself down, she took the test report from Doctor Strange's hand, those few thin pieces of paper felt like a weight at this moment.
Like a child worried about grades, she took a few deep breaths, and then put the test report in front of her eyes.
The next moment, Jian was struck by lightning.
The trembling of her arm seemed to be stimulated by an electric current, and the trembling was quickly transmitted to her shoulders, body, and finally her cheeks.
The beautiful eyes lost their luster at this moment, as if something called hope shattered in her eyes, and the youthful aura in her whole body disappeared at this moment.
Instead, there is a kind of twilight, dazed, helpless and sudden pain.
Tears welled up in his eyes in extreme despair.
Jane was a little overwhelmed, she raised her hand subconsciously, trying to wipe away the tears she shed, but the trembling hand finally covered her mouth.
A whimper.
Like a trapped beast in a trap, whimpering in despair.
Her body fell limply to the ground, curled up, she buried her head in front of her legs, covered her face, tears dripping down, crying...
A suppressed cry sounded at this moment.
It's like a desperate movement is about to start.
This movement woke up Daisy, who was lying on the bedside and drowsy.
She raised her head in a daze, and saw Doctor Strange standing by the door without saying a word, like a sculpture, and Jane, her good friend, curled up in a corner, covering her face and crying endlessly.
Daisy was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.
She wanted to comfort her friend, but she had no idea what was going on.
She questioned Doctor Strange with her eyes, and the latter shook his head, pointing to the test reports scattered on the ground.
A bad premonition also rose in Daisy's heart.
She picked up the report, put it in front of her eyes, ignored those incomprehensible medical terms, and looked directly at the result column, a line of words representing disaster fell into Daisy's eyes.
"Breast cancer...advanced stage...has spread...OMG!"
Daisy let out an exclamation.
But the moment she exclaimed, she covered her mouth, as if this could stop the bad news.
The girl's expression also became painful.
She looked at Jane who was curled up in the corner and shivering. She sobbed, knelt on the ground, and hugged her good friend.
The helpless Jane also seemed to have found a support, she hugged Daisy hard, hugged this girl who was always unreliable, buried her head in Daisy's chest, and hugged her tightly.
It's like holding on to the last hope.
"How did this happen? God, how did this happen?"
Daisy put her head on top of the trembling Jane, and she also burst into tears, heartbroken for the terrible experience of her best friend.
Concisely so good, so excellent, so outstanding.
She and Thor had already decided to get married, she could have a better life...why?
Why did fate torture her so cruelly?
As a surgeon, Stephen Strange was already used to parting from life and death, but at this moment, he stood in the shadow by the door, quietly looking at the two girls hugging each other and weeping bitterly.
A sense of powerlessness rose from Doctor Strange's heart.
He is a doctor, saving lives is his duty, and saving lives is his job, but now, there is a girl who needs help right in front of him, but he is powerless to help.
I could only watch helplessly as the poor girl was engulfed in pain and despair.
As a human physician, there are always limits...
No matter how hard he tried, no matter how unwilling he was, he would feel helpless in the face of some desperate facts.
The corners of the doctor's eyes were a little sour, and he turned around to prevent himself from losing his composure.
There was an operation in the afternoon, and he had to adjust his mentality, so he quietly pushed out, and gave the space to these two poor girls who needed time to heal their grief and accept the truth.
"Why cry!"
Just after Doctor Strange left, a blue projection was projected from the TV in the ward.
The figure of Icarus appeared in the ward.
The glasses girl looked at Jane and Daisy who were hugging and crying bitterly, and she said sharply:
"It's just cancer, it's not like the sky is falling..."
The sound woke up the two girls who were immersed in sadness and despair.
Daisy jumped up, opened her arms, and stood in front of Jane. The sorrow surging in her heart turned into anger. She clenched her fist and said to Icarus:
"Who are you!"
Icarus didn't answer the question, she looked at Jane behind Daisy, and she said:
"I just found out about this news... I'm sorry, Jane Foster, it was our mistake that caused the tragedy that happened to you. Those radiation sources... shouldn't have appeared on the bottom of the sea."
Mechanic Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
She said to Jane:
"Since I caused the trouble, I will be responsible to the end."
"I will find a way to treat you. Even if I can't find it, I will find a way to preserve your soul and let you continue to live in another way."
Icarus glanced at the test reports scattered under her feet, and she said:
"According to human physique, you can probably live for about 2 years. During these 2 years, I will find a way to treat you. This is my promise!"
"As for Thor, he is currently performing a very dangerous mission among the stars. I don't think you should tell him the news for now. That man loves you, and I believe he will not just sit back and watch you die like this."
"You...you can cure me?"
Jane in despair seemed to have grasped the last hope, she took a step forward, her red eyes were full of pleading, she said to Icarus:
"Can you really cure me?"
"I..."
Icarus looked into those eyes, she was a little guilty at this moment, but facing Jane's prayer, she gritted her teeth and nodded:
"Yes, I'll heal you, don't be overwhelmed by despair, girl."
"What to do, do what you want, and we will find a way to solve the rest. In addition, don't tell others about the news that I have appeared, it will cause you trouble..."
"Wait with hope. Also, you were transferred to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Wounds in London today. Your admission procedures have been completed."
"Those healers may not be able to make you recover, but at least they won't let your condition continue to deteriorate."
After saying that, Icarus disappeared as if running away.
In the hell of the wasteland, the girl with glasses who retrieved the data looked back at the serious-faced Merlin, who shook his head at her.
"Jane doesn't have a magical physique. It's a pity that she can't learn magic, let alone use magic to repair her body damage."
"Then what to do?"
Icarus said with a bitter face:
"I really don't know, she will be..."
"You have made a promise, and you will do it no matter what."
Merlin glanced at the book of Emperor Weishan in his hand, and said:
"Forget it, you go and collect the remaining radiation sources, don't let that mistake cause more trouble, the solution... Let me think about it."
"Thor, Thor...a man who is miserable."
