In front of Superman, you have no choice but to give yourself to a little girl.

After a brief encounter with two unlucky guys, and traversing vast swampy river bends, the bus finally approached NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

Looking at the giant, pure white, cube-shaped building that jutted out from the horizon in the distance, the students crowded around the windows, packing their things and eager to get off the bus.

However, to their surprise, the first person they encountered after getting out of the car was not a security guard in camouflage tactical gear, nor a NASA engineer, but an old man who often spouted nonsense on television.

"That's right, it's me, J. Jonah Jameson."

JJJ, with a warm smile on his face, quickly stepped forward, grabbed Wayne's hand, and shook it vigorously. "I think you should have seen me on TV, Superman."

"Let's go, we're going the same way anyway, I think we'll get along very well."

After saying that, JJJ took the initiative to lead Wayne toward the giant, pure white cube building not far away.

Wayne and Gwen exchanged a glance, shrugged, and then looked at the Mediterranean professor.

Seeing that Wayne was being so accommodating, the Mediterranean professor suppressed his lip and coughed twice in a serious manner, "Since we're going the same way, let's walk together."

Upon hearing this, Peter, Harry, and the other students followed suit, too lazy to wait for NASA to come looking for them.

Behind the crowd, Loki, who had just gotten off the bus, also planned to follow.

But then his consciousness went blank for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he found himself in a desolate place, with Hela sitting on a cold throne not far away.

"Loki, leave Midgard and go back to Asgard."

"...Sis, I'm here to help you."

Loki's words only made things worse; mentioning Hela made her face darken with anger. "You've already caused enough trouble; he even asked me if I sent you!"

"..."

No, sister, why don't you understand? If we want to overtake others by taking a shortcut, we have to use some tricks.

Loki really wanted to do it himself.

However, Loki also realized that Wayne had at least mentioned it to Hela and hadn't personally thrown it back at him, which was already a great favor.

"In short, this is the final warning."

Hela's cold, authoritative voice echoed in Loki's mind, and the illusion around him vanished completely.

Loki stood there pondering, drawing on his years of experience dressing as a woman to flirt with men and relieve boredom... Wayne didn't personally chase him away but mentioned it to Hela, indicating that although Wayne didn't like him following him, he wasn't that opposed to it either, which meant that he still had a chance.

It seems he'll have to try a different approach next time. Perhaps he really should go back and prepare, come up with a foolproof plan to get Wayne to accept him next time, and ideally, bring Hella along too.

At that moment, a security guard quickly approached. "Sir, please park your car..."

"It's yours."

The security personnel, looking completely bewildered, took the key that Loki tossed to them.

By the time he realized what was happening, Loki had already vanished.

……

"I bet you're wondering why I'm here."

JJJ straightened his suit. "This is my son. He's a great astronaut."

"And today, he is returning to Earth. Yes, right here, his space shuttle will land in this place."

JJJ couldn't hide his pride, saying, "I will be the first person to greet him and the first person to interview him."

"Colonel John?"

Peter interjected, "I've heard of him."

"Yeah?"

Upon realizing that someone recognized her son, JJJ laughed even harder. "Kid, I think you're quite pleasing to the eye. How's your photography skills? If they're not bad, I might consider giving you an internship at the Daily Bugle."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jameson, I've already found an internship."

Peter politely declined Jameson's offer with a hint of apology.

Jameson didn't pay much attention and then wanted to take the opportunity to interview Wayne again.

As a result, Harry and his group of students bombarded JJJ with questions, completely dashing JJJ's hopes.

JJJ, who usually interviews other people, rarely experienced being surrounded and interviewed.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

In the universe, on a desolate planet, dozens of warships from the 31st century appear outside the planet's atmosphere.

The fleet of warships surrounded the planet like a polyhedron, seemingly searching for something.

On one of the main ships, several Conquerors Kang, who looked almost identical, watched the holographic screen repeatedly displaying the search yielding no results, and their expressions turned gloomy.

"They've kept it well hidden."

One of the Kangs sneered, "But he can't escape. He's still a Kang. Joining us is his only way to survive."

"Should we continue searching?"

The other Kang hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I heard from other Kangs that there's someone in this universe who's... not easy to get along with."

"Heh, that's not something we should worry about."

"Even if he were to look for someone, he wouldn't start by causing trouble for us, after all... he's here, isn't he?"

"Let's go down and take a look. We can't let that guy get away."

Light-years away from this desolate planet, a fairly tall figure stood on a shattered meteorite. He wasn't wearing the same purple armor as the others, but rather a tattered blue suit of armor, with a dark, worn-out cloak over it. On his right hand was a badly worn timekeeping device.

He gazed in the direction of the desolate planet, thinking, "They really won't let go."

He removed the hood from his trench coat, revealing images inside the helmet's visor—pictures he had taken using small objects left behind on a desolate planet several light-years away—scenes of the planet surrounded by the warships of the Kangzhi Dynasty.

"I'd better get out of here quickly."

He dared not look any further, fearing that he might be caught up by that group of crazy Kangs again; it had taken him a great deal of effort to escape.

Moreover, his friend who ran away with him has also been separated from him, and he doesn't know which universe the other person is in now.

"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time."

This universe is special to the Kang Dynasty, and perhaps it can help them completely escape the Kang Dynasty's pursuit.

Of course, it's also possible that I didn't die at the hands of the Kang Dynasty, but was instead dealt with by the beings of this universe... Who knows?

……

Earth, NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Not long after entering the giant cube building, two figures approached Wayne and his group.

One of the figures was tall and slender, with flowing golden, slightly wavy hair. Even her air force uniform couldn't hide her beautiful curves. Her bright blue eyes were firm and confident, and she exuded a unique charm.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Carol Danvers, and I am NASA's Director of Safety."

Carroll's original post was at Cape Canaveral, the military base attached to the Kennedy Space Center. However, because the guests that the Kennedy Space Center was welcoming this time were somewhat special, she was also transferred there as the head of security.

As she spoke, Carol subtly glanced at Wayne. Although her professionalism gave her a strong ability to manage her expressions, a hint of amazement still flashed in her eyes as she saw Superman for the first time.

Wait, he's looking this way?!

Carroll looked away, her expression still perfectly controlled.

Wayne glanced casually at Carol—a Kree-human hybrid?

That wouldn't be the MCU version of Carol, since the MCU Carol is a pure Earthling.

However, to Wayne's slight surprise...

"This is Dr. Wendy Lawson, a joint appointee of the U.S. Air Force and NASA, and the chief engineer of the U.S. military's Pegasus program."

Carole introduced the middle-aged woman beside her to the group.

Dr. Lawson felt a chill run down his spine when he noticed Wayne staring at him with a strange look.

After all, her true identity is a top researcher in the Kree Empire, one of the three major technological civilizations in the universe, specializing in the development of interstellar travel engines... even though she has already betrayed them.

But it would be a lie to say that she, an alien, wouldn't be flustered being stared at like that by Superman.

However, what she didn't know was that Wayne was staring at her not because of her Kree identity, but because "Mar-Vell" was the "female" version, which, as far as Wayne knew, should only exist in the MCU.

So, a comic book version and an MCU version... how did these two get mixed up?
