American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 206 Stark's Little Tricks to Soothe People

The Scarlet Witch, no longer a core member of the organization, has been living a very relaxed life lately. Losing this identity not only means saying goodbye to a title, but also allows her to avoid becoming the protagonist in various major events and live the peaceful life that Wanda has always dreamed of.

Wanda picked up Raven and pinched her little cheek: "What's your name?"

After thinking for a moment, Raven said, "You can call me Raven."

Watching Wanda quickly grow closer to Raven, Rune couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder she's a father." He looked around and then asked, "By the way, where's your son?"

Upon hearing this, Wanda's face immediately fell.

“I’ve always wanted to be a good mother, really,” Wanda sighed, seemingly ignoring the question, “but he just doesn’t want to stay home. He’s only been in this neighborhood for a few days, and he’s already made a lot of friends. He stays out late every day.”

Rune raised an eyebrow: "You're not going to ground him, are you? That's hardly a reason for a speedster—"

He suddenly realized something, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "You didn't cast any strange magic on him, did you?"

"—Of course not." Wanda gave an awkward smile, then changed the subject: "Alright, what brings you this little girl to see me?"

"I believe you can guess it," Rune said, and Wanda did indeed guess it.

"You want me to teach her magic?"

Rune nodded. Once his mind was completely emptied of his knowledge of dark magic and related concepts, the first thing he thought of was...

The person qualified to serve as Raven Teacher is Master Fate. He knows almost all the magic in the DC Universe over the past million years and is called a walking magic museum by some sorcerers. His sense of responsibility is indeed sufficient to fulfill the duties of Raven Teacher.

However, putting aside the fact that Doctor Fate had previously tried to capture Raven and trade her to Trigon in exchange for peace on Earth, he is now very busy. He needs to push forward the negotiations with Marvel's gods and the promotion of the new magic system. Therefore, Rune ultimately gave up the idea of ​​giving Doctor Fate more responsibilities.

The Scarlet Witch is the second choice—both she and Raven possess extremely terrifying dark magic, and their magic originates from a powerful demon god. This commonality would make the Scarlet Witch feel sympathy for Raven. In other words, it wouldn't be difficult for the Scarlet Witch to take Raven in, and her magic system would be perfectly suited for Raven. Even Rune could listen in to expand his means of using dark magic.

"I'll pay you," Rune said. "You won't work for free; consider it your job, how about it?"

The Scarlet Witch looked at the exquisitely beautiful girl in her hands, like a porcelain doll, and nodded. She liked the child very much too; the little girl looked well-behaved and adorable, and they shared a similar plight—there was simply no reason for her to refuse.

"Shall we start today?"

"Let's let the raven get used to it today," Rune shook his head.

Thanks to Wanda's kindness, Raven quickly became friends with her new teacher. When Rune took Raven away, Raven looked back several times at Wanda standing at the door, the dangerous and beautiful woman waving goodbye to her.

"What? You've already forgotten me after just seeing Wanda for a little while?" Rune asked, feigning sadness. Raven was at a loss when faced with her former teacher's question. She shook her head vigorously and then buried her head in Rune's chest.

"No, I like you the most, teacher."

Rune suppressed a laugh and said, "Well, let's go home."

Inside Avengers Tower, Pepper Potts was working. Well, to be honest, although she had indeed vented her anger on Stark earlier...

But Pepper had gotten used to Stark’s promiscuous private life—before she married Stark, Tony had even asked her to help him find Playboy cover models to throw parties with!

Well, Pepper was used to him spending the night with other women—which was actually a very sad thing. She guessed she was angry because Stark had been more devoted to her after marriage and had spoiled her, which was why she got angry after hearing that Stark had had ambiguous relationships with so many female heroes in the past.

That was the only way she could comfort herself.

"You have a new message, please check it." Friday's voice sounded. Pepper frowned, clicked on the holographic projector, and pressed the message icon that had turned completely red. Inside was a video message from Tony, with a play button on it.

"Oh my god—" Pepper slapped her forehead and muttered, "I told you before not to send voice or video messages, it seriously affects my work efficiency!"

After clicking on the video, the handsome man in silver armor, as usual, wore a nonchalant smile: "Honey, look what I found!"

The man held up a container filled with a white liquid: "It's an 'apology potion' from a certain otherworldly mage!"

Despite her reluctance, Pepper still went to Tony's lab with a forced smile—even if it was to apologize, the man still refused to leave this damned lab.

"I've done a lot of spectral analysis on this stuff—well, actually, my AI did it for me." Tony placed the potion in Pepper's palm. "The conclusion is that it's safe; you can use it without worry."

At this point, Tony blinked, realizing that Rune hadn't told him whether it was for external or internal use! So he quickly racked his brains, his mind usually focused on complex concepts like three-dimensional coordinate calculations and spatial production, but now it was focused on how to appease Pepper and how to use the potion.

Since it's called a magic potion, you must drink it, right?

Tony nodded and continued, "Okay, drink it."

Then, before Chili could say anything, he added, "Actually, I have a Plan B!"

As he spoke, he pressed the remote control beside him, and the entire laboratory wall was instantly covered by a holographic projection, which then projected a picture of Chili Pepper with a soft-focus filter. However, countless artificial rose petals filled the gaps around the picture, and because it was all done in such a hurry...

This caused resolution issues, and some photos of chili peppers ended up looking like unflattering pictures of them.

Realizing he had made a fool of himself, Tony hurriedly pressed the power button, then awkwardly grinned at Pepper. Only when Pepper glared at him, both amused and annoyed, did Tony cough twice in a serious manner.

"Ahem, actually—okay, I admit, the potion was just an excuse." He took two steps closer, now very close to Tony and Pepper. He pulled out a piece of scrap paper with some messy numbers on it, two stick figures wearing barrel-like armor, and a line of text: Even without the Time Stone, I know the other 1400 squares of me love watching you.

Chili drank the potion in one gulp, then said calmly, "Well, I accept your apology, but you must attend the company's financial report meeting tomorrow."

With that, she left the laboratory, while Stark clutched his heart and knelt on the ground: "This potion definitely has side effects."

Rune, I'm not done with you yet!
