Chapter 260: The Healing Effects of the Mind Stone
A person who absorbs human life cannot remain unchanged psychologically.
Especially for Jiaying, who has experienced such a tragic past, the pain, hatred, and guilt have completely twisted her psyche.
She believes that only people with abilities like her deserve protection and freedom, while ordinary people should die!
Even Calvin's psyche is similarly twisted—
He killed the people in a village to allow Jiaying to absorb their life force and recover.
Coupled with the effects of the inferior Super Soldier Serum he developed, his psyche has descended into darkness—
Just like the Red Skull of the past.
It was only under the influence of Oaks's magic that his love and obsession for his daughter were ignited, allowing him to reveal everything.
"Dr. Oaks... I am indeed guilty of heinous crimes, but everything I did was to bring Daisy back home!"
Calvin seemed to finally remember the anomaly regarding his wife. He painfully gripped his own arms:
"But you're right, If Daisy comes back with me... Jiaying, she has a plan. Daisy, such a kind-hearted girl, would never agree to it!"
"Let's deal with your problem first."
Oaks fell silent for a moment and sighed:
"You are in an unstable state. Once you leave the influence of my magic, you will be swallowed by darkness again."
He placed his right hand over his chest, and a vibrant yellow light radiated from his palm:
"To prevent things from escalating, I'll make an exception."
Jiaying attempting to use the impure Terrigen Crystal to eliminate ordinary people who are not Inhumans must not happen.
"Where is Jiaying now?"
After the healing effects of the Mind Stone, Calvin felt as if the darkness that had been hiding within him for over twenty years had completely disappeared.
"She's searching for the other Obelisks, preparing to carry out that plan..."
Having regained his sanity, Calvin clearly realized the seriousness of the situation:
"Damn... What have I done in the past!
Dr. Oaks, Jiaying used to be very kind. Please, you must help her!"
"The Obelisks haven't been found yet... That's good."
Oaks breathed a sigh of relief. If Jiaying had already started to melt the Obelisks, he would have to resort to drastic measures.
"Both you and Jiaying should come here, and I will bring Skye, um, Daisy."
He looked at Calvin, who was ecstatic:
"You know that I have the ability to restore your wife to how she was before, but how your daughter views you will depend on you."
...
Skye, now known as Daisy Johnson, who had learned about her true heritage, was still somewhat dazed.
Just when she was happily chatting with the newly arrived Pietro and Wanda, Oaks took her to the lab and said he wanted to talk to her about something.
As a result, she suddenly learned about her true identity.
"I've made arrangements with your father to have him bring your mother to meet you."
Of course, Oaks couldn't tell her everything, but the information was enough to leave her stunned.
"Furthermore, regarding the abnormalities in your body, your father has confirmed that they are inherited from your mother—
So, we can move forward now. Do you want to access your abilities?"
Oaks hadn't forgotten that Daisy seemed to be the future leader of the Inhumans according to the prophecy.
These peculiar individuals would cause a lot of trouble if left unattended. But since he intended to "heal" Jiaying, Daisy wouldn't have to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.
However, she would eventually learn about this matter, so it was better to safely complete her transformation now.
With guidance, she could learn to use her powers smoothly.
"Abilities? Like Pietro and Wanda?"
Daisy's eyes shimmered. I have this kind of potential too!?
"It's not exactly the same, but the manifestation is similar."
Oaks looked at the excited young girl and smiled:
"Also... once you've learned how to use your powers effectively, you can leave here and go back to Coulson."
"I..."
Daisy heard this and became somewhat stunned.
"Why? You didn't want to come here at first, and now you don't want to leave?" Oaks found it amusing.
"But... didn't you say I still owe you medical fees?"
Daisy felt conflicted. In truth, she had never experienced such a peaceful time in her life before.
During her childhood, she never stayed in one place for more than two years and never felt the warmth of a family. Even after joining S.H.I.E.L.D., she was constantly on missions around the world.
After spending just a few months in this place that could heal hearts, she truly felt reluctant to leave.
She now understood why Melinda occasionally missed this life.
"After awakening your abilities, all the data from these experiments will be considered payment for medical fees."
Oaks pointed to a sealed chamber nearby. The Obelisk had been opened using the power of the Infinity Stones, and the Terrigen Crystal inside would serve only Daisy:
"Go inside. Perhaps your abilities can help Coulson and the others even more."
"...Okay!"
The last sentence seemed to touch Daisy. She took a deep breath, walked to the sealed chamber, and her face suddenly turned red:
"...Do I... need to undress?"
"...No need."
...
When Calvin brought Jiaying to the Little rainforest as planned, Oaks easily used the Mind Stone to "heal" the darkness within her heart.
With her benevolent nature restored, Jiaying repented for her past actions and cherished her husband, who had never truly given up on her.
Standing before them was their daughter, Daisy Johnson, who had gained the ability to generate seismic waves.
"Thank you so much, Dr. Oaks."
After Jiaying and her daughter cried their hearts out, they finally regained their composure.
"As the leader of the Earth Inhumans, I assure you, I will fully support your cause."
Jiaying deeply bowed to Oaks, and Calvin did the same with Daisy.
"Leader Jiaying, the abilities of the Inhumans are the result of genetic manipulation by an extraterrestrial race called the Kree.
Therefore, mutations are unstable, and those like you, who underwent mutations without any changes in appearance, are the minority."
Oaks took out a box and handed it to Jiaying. Inside were small acorns the size of fingernails:
"This is an amulet I created based on the genetic data changes in Daisy. If any members among you who have distinctive appearances wish to restore their original looks, they can wear this close to their bodies.
It can temporarily suppress their abilities, and when they want to restore them, they can remove it."
"This... is so precious!"
Jiaying was overjoyed as she carefully accepted the box and bowed again:
"We will never forget your help!"
"Daisy is a good kid. I understand the joy of your reunion, but please respect her choices."
"Hey, you finally said something that suits my taste."
Daisy winked and lingered for a while:
"My adaptation training isn't complete yet. Can my parents stay here for a while?"
"You little rascal..."
Oaks smiled and nodded:
"Of course. There are guest rooms here in the Little rainforest. Go find Blaze to make arrangements. There's also a pressing matter waiting for me to deal with."
"A pressing matter?"
Daisy realized something: "Pietro and Wanda?"
"That's right. That's why you young folks with abilities are the most troublesome."
Oaks shrugged helplessly:
"Besides guiding you in using your powers, I also have to provide psychological counseling."
"I just found out today that I'm 25!"
Daisy scoffed, "Those two are only 26! And aren't you not even 30 yet?"
"...I feel old."
