Dimensional demons mixed in with Marvel

The afternoon sun shines gently through the pine forest by the lake, illuminating the grass outside the cabin. The shimmering lake reflects the blue sky and white clouds, and a gentle breeze carries the fragrance of grass and trees.

On the lawn, a black grill sizzled, filling the air with an enticing aroma of smoke.

Tony Stark was frantically brushing sauce onto the grilled ribs. The sizzling, thick-cut steak was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, while the golden grilled corn and bell peppers exuded a sweet aroma.

"Can I have another ice cream?"

Three-year-old Morgan, dressed in a pale yellow tulle dress, looked like a vibrant sunflower as she hopped over, tilting her head back and pouting sweetly.

"Of course, baby."

"What flavor would you like? Grape? Strawberry? Or your favorite chocolate?"

"Hmm~ Can I have both?"

Little Morgan blinked her big eyes and tilted her head cutely as she looked at Tony.

"Of course, as long as you're not worried about your mom eating us both later, so how about just one bite?"

"Yao~"

Morgan gave Tony a big kiss, then smiled broadly, holding her ice cream.

"It's so wonderful to have a little princess~ Her sweet, baby voice melts my heart."

Happy shrugged, flipping the sausage over, extremely envious.

"Boss, war machines detected."

Just as Tony was about to say something, a clear Irish voice came through his earpiece.

The next second, a gleaming black and silver figure descended from the sky, kicking up clouds of dust.

"what!"

"My grilled sausage!"

"You've gone too far, Rhodes!!"

Happy screamed as he frantically tried to salvage the remaining sausages on the grill; only three or four on the edge escaped the dust.

"Hey, I'm here to freeload again. To be precise, it's not just me, Tony, everyone's here."

Before Rod could finish speaking, the brakes sounded on the nearby forest path, and a black seven-seater car stopped in the open space in front of the cabin.

The car door opened.

Tony raised an eyebrow as he spotted Natasha and Rogers.

"Happy, tell Chili that we have some uninvited guests."

……

"Are you telling me to just stare at thin air?!"

Tony, holding Morgan in one arm, stared blankly at the wide-open car door, which was completely empty. He then turned to look at Natasha and Rogers.

"So, what's the surprise?!"

"Don't worry, Tony, it'll be ready soon."

Rogers glanced at his watch and mentally estimated that it was about time.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't bring me a gift, anyway..."

Tony was just about to make a witty remark when Friday suddenly gave him a hint.

"Boss, we've detected an abnormal energy fluctuation."

"Um?!"

Tony hadn't reacted yet.

boom!

A thick cloud of smoke appeared, and four small figures appeared in the back seat of the car.

"A magical transformation?"

"When did you guys learn magic tricks?!"

Tony looked at Rogers with surprise, then held up his fingers and counted them one by one.

"Let me see how many little rascals you conjure up: one, two, three, four..."

Wait!

Tony suddenly froze, because he saw a very familiar face.

Even if he were several sizes smaller, he could still recognize him at a glance.

"Peter?!"

No, that's absolutely impossible.

Tony blurted it out almost out loud, then suddenly swallowed it back down.

On Titan, the child was in his arms, turned into ashes.

Tony will never forget that scene.

But now...

"Captain, this surprise isn't funny at all."

Tony's face instantly darkened, and anger surged in his eyes. Even after four years, he could still recall losing that child every night when he woke up in the middle of the night.

But now...

What does Rogers mean?!

They found a child who bears some resemblance to Peter Parker... This...

"We're not kidding you, Tony. This is Peter Parker, whom Natalie found on Titan."

Rogers could understand Tony's thoughts because he had thought the same way before.

"What?!"

Tony looked at Rogers and Natasha, who were looking serious, and then at Peter, who was curled up in the car and wished he could shrink into a ball. He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking in a trembling voice.

"You, you really are Peter... Parker?!"

at the same time.

Unlike the three little ones who ran away as soon as they got out of the car, Peter was very nervous. His eyes were glazed over with fear, and his voice was stammering.

"I am Peter."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Stark, but... but aren't you already dead?!"

One sentence, and the entire room fell silent.

"ha?!"

Tony was stunned. So, it was me who disappeared?!

……

"You never told us this."

Natasha and Rogers exchanged a glance; this was something they hadn't expected.

"You didn't even ask!"

Peter Parker spoke weakly, glancing at Tony from the corner of his eye every now and then.

"We thought the news you were talking about was about the Chitauri invasion and the wormholes."

"Uh, the news says Mr. Stark was attacked."

Peter Parker stared blankly at Tony, then carefully added the last sentence.

"Then what?!"

Tony looked completely bewildered.

"That's all."

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's what it says in the news, in newspapers like The Daily Bugle and Time magazine."

Xiaoyu slipped over unnoticed and naturally picked up the conversation.

"Imagine you're in Central Park, eating a burger and singing, and someone attacks you and you die. Superheroes always do that; you probably weren't prepared."

Xiaoyu had an expression that said, "This is the truth, and no one could have predicted it."

"So, Tony died in 2012, which is ten years ago."

Rogers gave a concluding speech.

"Died young."

Rhodes nodded, suddenly feeling a pang of emotion.

"That's obviously impossible. If my past self died, how could I be standing here now?!"

"Either the news is fake, or they're all fake, and you're just here to amuse me."

"Or... could the parallel universe theory be true??"

Tony was caught in a kind of explosive emotion.

He had a perfectly good wife and children, a warm and happy home, living a blissful life. How did these people turn it into him being dead? Is that right?

"We came to you to find out what's going on."

"That's the past before Thanos snapped his fingers. We have a chance to start over, and this time we won't lose anyone."

Rogers made the key point: as long as there is hope to save everything, no matter how slim, it is worthwhile.

"The problem is that the world is different now, and time is different. I don't understand what's going on at all."

"In your stories, I'm practically become Schrödinger's cat, I'm practically a duality of life and death, so are you sure they came back from 10 years ago, right?!"

As soon as Tony finished speaking, with a bang, not only Jade and Peter in front of him, but also Lambo and Tomoyo, who were eating barbecue nearby, suddenly disappeared.

"See?"

"Ten years from now, each rocket launcher will last about five minutes, and they'll be back soon."

Rogers wasn't the only one saying this; even Friday reminded everyone of it.

"Boss, we've detected abnormal energy fluctuations again; their trail has disappeared."

Ok……

Now, whether it's true or not, Tony is going to treat it as true.

Even if it's for Peter...

……

Bang!

Another familiar plume of smoke appeared, and the four little ones appeared beside the oven.

"Hi, we're back."

Xiaoyu's cheerful voice rang out.

"Listen, I'll just take all of this as real for now."

"According to you, I came back from a timeline where I might have died 10 years ago."

"To verify the authenticity of this information, I need you to go to Stark Tower, or rather, Avengers Tower, which was under reconstruction at that time."

Tony frowned, his mind racing, as he explained things step by step.

"Um, but we don't know any of them, who are we supposed to talk to?!"

Peter paused for a moment, then hesitated.

"None of you need to go looking. You just need to go in, and Jarvis will tell me everything. Also, take this."

Tony took something out and was about to hand it to Peter when he thought about it and turned to give it to Jade instead.

"For me?!"

"What is this... a fountain pen?! Or some kind of secret agent equipment?!"

Xiaoyu was very happy, pressing the small button on the pen over and over again.

It lights up a little red light when you press it, which is really interesting.

"I feel you have the potential to succeed; it's a bit too difficult to leave this to Peter."

"Listen..."

Tony's expression was serious; he genuinely hoped the plan would go smoothly.

"If I really die, no matter when or why, Jarvis will definitely record it."

"Go into the building, find any computer, plug this thing in, and when you come back, Jarvis will tell us everything that happened."

"By the way, Avengers Tower, you guys know how to get in, right?!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu naturally raised her hand to answer.

"Take the stairs!"
