American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 192 Meeting the Parents (Fog)

"Of course I can," Rune shrugged. "But you have to agree to one condition."

"Okay!" Stark agreed without hesitation, but he added at the end, "But you have to tell me what your conditions are first, and I'll think about it."

"Actually, my condition is very simple, and I believe you will definitely agree," Rune said with a smile. "I want to establish a cross-dimensional alliance to unite me with the superhumans and geniuses in your world to face threats from aliens, gods, and the like."

To Rune's surprise, Stark hesitated for a moment after hearing the condition before finally saying, "How about I give you some money? Otherwise, I feel like you're losing out."

Even without a single penny, Stark would never refuse the offer. It was beneficial to both worlds, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Although Tony didn't think the Starks from other universes were smarter than him, he was still willing to take a loss and proactively establish a cross-dimensional Iron Man alliance. Then, with his intelligence, he could make all the Starks in all universes willingly call him a genius. "...—Tony—Tony? Stop grinning like an idiot!" Rune slapped Tony's iron suit, the powerful force instantly waking Iron Man from his reverie.

"Oh, oh—" he exclaimed, "I agree, I agree! By the way, by the way..."

Tony had a very strange expression on his face, and Rune couldn't tell what he was feeling at all.

"Are you capable of transcending dimensions?"

Rune nodded.

"Could this mutual aid alliance become an organization that spans multiple dimensions in the future?"

Rune nodded again: "I do have similar thoughts."

"Okay! I agree!"

Steve stood in front of Kent's farm, the golden wheat fields swaying in the breeze. Just then, Jonathan Kent emerged from the barn, eyeing the stranger with the shield warily.

"Who are you?" Jonathan asked as he leaned closer, frowning as he looked Steve up and down. The man had a strong, muscular physique and looked like the kind of guy who would do farm work.

Steve nodded, removing his hat in respect for Jonathan. "Yes, sir. I am Steve Rogers, from another world. I am here to mentor a young man of extraordinary power."

Martha came out of the house with a glass of chilled lemonade in her hand, and she keenly sensed Steve's sincerity.

"Did Rune bring you here?" Martha asked with a smile. Steve nodded, and the mother continued, "You look like a soldier, but your eyes tell me you're more like a teacher."

Since it was Rune who brought them, and the man was both handsome and upright, Martha and Jonathan lowered their guard and took Steve home. In the Kent family's kitchen, Steve candidly recounted his story—how a skinny Brooklyn boy became a super soldier and shouldered the responsibilities of Captain America. However, he frankly admitted at the end that he had already relinquished the duties of Captain America.

"If you ask me, you did the right thing!" Jonathan sneered. "Ever since the government abandoned Gotham, I've completely lost hope in America! A good man like you shouldn't be stuck in that quagmire."
