Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

It was a figure dressed in red and blue.

That's right, it's the people of our own country.

He was facing away from the gate, with his hands behind his back, seemingly admiring his own statue.

Pietro's heart skipped a beat.

"Calm down, Pietro, calm down," he told himself. "He doesn't know. Nobody knows."

"Just be natural, say hello, and then leave."

Pietro forced a smile, preparing to call out "Captain Homelander".

But at that moment, a primal, biological fear gripped his heart.

You cannot greet them.

Do not approach.

run.

You must run.

Pietro trusted his intuition, an intuition that had saved him countless times in Sokovia.

He didn't speak, but pretended not to see it, and with a tap of his toes, his body instantly accelerated.

The effects of T-VEX are still at their peak.

The world around us came to a standstill once again.

The pigeons in the square hovered in the air, their wings flapping.

The smiles of the passersby froze on their faces.

The fountain's water droplets resemble a curtain of still crystal beads.

In this still world, Pietro is the only king.

He transformed into a silver streak, tracing a massive arc as he attempted to bypass Homelander from the side and rear, heading directly towards the end of the street.

"As long as we get around him..."

Pietro calculated the trajectory in his mind.

He made a sudden change of direction when he was fifty meters away from Homelander.

however.

Just when he thought he had safely passed by.

Something terrible happened.

In this world where everything is still.

The figure with its back to him...

That head, which should have been still like a sculpture...

It turned slightly to the side.

It's only about 15 degrees Celsius.

But to Pietro, that 15 degrees was more terrifying than an earthquake!

He moved?!

In this realm where time stands still, he can actually move?!

Then, something even more terrifying happened to Pietro.

Homelander's deep blue eyes were slowly turning, following Pietro's high-speed trajectory.

Pietro ran to the left, and his eyes turned to the left.

Pietro changed direction to the right, and his eyes followed him to the right.

That was a gaze that saw through time.

"ah--!!!"

Pietro's mind went blank.

He saw it.

he knows.

He was waiting for me.

"run!!!"

Pietro no longer cared about disguise or taking detours.

His legs became blurry phantoms; he wanted to escape that gaze, he wanted to escape that monster.

The Atlantic Ocean, run onto the Atlantic Ocean, use the sea surface as a runway, and run all the way to Europe!

"Faster! Faster! Faster!!"

Pietro felt like his heart was about to explode, but he dared not stop, or even turn around.

One second.

He crossed the Brooklyn Bridge.

Ten seconds.

He crossed the edge of Long Island.

Thirty seconds.

The vast Atlantic Ocean came into view.

He didn't slow down and stepped directly onto the sea.

The immense tension generated by the contact between his feet and the water surface made him feel as if he were walking on flat ground, while the white waves behind him only burst open a few seconds later.

"Huff... huff..."

Pietro was breathing heavily; even at high speed, the intense sprint had left him breathless.

But he felt a little relieved.

All around was the boundless deep blue sea, with only the howling of the sea breeze.

"Did you shake them off?"

Pietro slowed down slightly and glanced back.

There was nothing behind me.

Only the horizon.

"That scared me to death... That guy was inhuman..."

"Um, are you talking about me?"

A gentle voice, tinged with curiosity, suddenly rang in his ear.

Pietro turned his head sharply.

On his right, where he walks side by side.

Ah Zu was hovering upside down on the sea surface, maintaining the same speed as him.

He followed Pietro casually, as if they were taking a walk in a park.

Even her hair wasn't messed up.

"you……"

Pietro was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

He tumbled and rolled dozens of times on the sea like a skipping stone, creating countless waves, before finally sinking into the water in a sorry state.

"Gurgle..."

A few seconds later, a hand grabbed him by the back of his collar and lifted him out like a chick.

"Cough cough cough!!"

Pietro was thrown onto a lonely rock, spitting out mouthfuls of salty seawater.

He was soaking wet and shivering.

It wasn't because of the cold, but because of despair.

Azu hovered in the air, looking down at him.

The setting sun behind him gilded him, making him look both sacred and terrifying.

"You run pretty fast, Pietro."

Azu smiled and landed slowly, his boots landing on the slippery rocks.

"Is this yet another new use for T-VEX? A sea marathon?"

Azu squatted down and reached into Pietro's arms to pull out a lead box.

turn on.

I glanced at the blue liquid inside.

"These are the snacks you took behind my back?"

Azu closed the box and tossed it in his hand.

Pietro rolled over and lay on his back on the rocks, looking at the dim sky, tears mingling with the seawater as they streamed down his face.

"Kill me." He closed his eyes, his voice hoarse. "I betrayed Walter, I am Hydra."

"Why?" Azu asked knowingly.

"For money? For power? Or because you feel you've been mistreated at Walter?"

"No! That's not it!"

Pietro suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.

"It's for Wanda!"

"She's my only family... I can't live without her..."

As Pietro spoke, tears streamed down his face.

"If it was for your family, why didn't you say so sooner?"

There was no anger in Ah Zu's voice; instead, it carried a kind of loving kindness, like that of an elder.

Pietro was stunned.

He opened his eyes and looked at Azu in disbelief.

"You...you're not going to kill me?"

"Kill you?" Azu laughed. "Because you made a mistake trying to save your sister?"

Azu squatted down and sat next to Pietro.

"Pietro, Walter is not just a company, and we are not just a team."

"It's a home."

"From the moment you joined, you became more than just Wanda's family."

"At home, going through fire and water for your family is not a sin, but a virtue."

Azu looked directly at Pietro, a hint of disappointment flashing in his "sincere" eyes.

"I'm disappointed, Pietro. Not because you stole anything, but because you didn't trust me."

"You're in trouble, why didn't you tell me?"

"Do you really think I would stand by and watch your sister suffer?"

"I..." Pietro choked up, "I thought..."

Don't assume that.

Azu stood up and tossed the blue test tube back to Pietro.

Pietro caught it in a flurry.

"This..." He was dumbfounded.

"Take it," Azu said calmly.

"What?!" Pietro thought he had misheard.

"Since Hydra wants it, then give it to them."

Ah Zu turned his back, looked into the distance, and said calmly.

"Take it with you to Sokovia."

"Give them the things and bring Wanda back."

"But...this is the original solution!" Pietro cried out anxiously, "It's Walter's most precious asset..."

"No, Pietro. That's not it, you are!"

"Walt's most precious possessions are you all, always have been!"
