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

Thanks to the meticulous arrangements made by Johnny and others, the lounge area of ​​the Baxter Building was filled with a party atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the invited Avengers members, Gwen and others also arrived at Baxter Tower.

Peter seemed to be learning a lot from talking about science with Reed, Tony, and Pym, and Reed and the others were very optimistic about this smart kid. Tony even invited Peter to work at Stark Tower after graduation.

Harry bombarded Steve with questions as if he were meeting an idol, and Steve patiently recounted his past to Harry.

Ben brought out plates of pastries from the kitchen.

"Hey, sister-in-law, I found another one! It's a photo of my second brother taken right after he was adopted."

Johnny kept running back to his room and rummaging through his treasured things. "And this, the cute children's outfit Susan bought for him... Good heavens, he only wore it once, and Susan and I changed him while he was asleep."

Gwen sat to the side, flipping through the photo album, her fingertips tracing the pictures that documented Wayne's life from childhood to adulthood, a smile that was sometimes bittersweet, sometimes warm and gentle, appearing on her face from time to time.

"Uh... Mr. Stone?"

"Just call me Johnny, sister-in-law."

Johnny raised an eyebrow and smirked. "From now on, your and your second brother's kids will have to call me Uncle."

A beautiful blush crept onto Gwen's cheeks. She didn't object, but her voice softened slightly, "Okay... Johnny, where's Wayne? Isn't he up yet? Maybe I can help wake him up?"

Gwen could hardly remember the last time she entered Wayne's room. After all, she didn't come to Baxter Mansion often. Although she and Susan hadn't reached the point of mutual dislike, they both felt quite uncomfortable around each other.

After all, it wasn't just Susan who could see that Gwen had ulterior motives; Gwen also knew that Susan's intentions weren't pure.

However, Gwen believed she would be the ultimate victor.

Gwen carefully placed the photo album aside as she got up, wondering if Wayne's room had changed and if he might have secretly hidden some special books, or perhaps her photos and portraits.

Thinking of this, Gwen felt her face getting hotter and hotter. She shook her head, and the corners of her tightly pursed lips curved into a beautiful smile.

But Johnny was different; he stood there frozen, as if he were terrified.

Seeing that Gwen was about to wake Wayne, he hurriedly ran over and blocked her way. "Ahem... well, um... my brother has terrible sleeping posture, he definitely wouldn't want you to see him make a fool of himself, so... you know?"

Gwen wanted to say she didn't mind, but she didn't want Wayne to be upset, so she said, "Uh... okay?"

Seeing this, Johnny subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief... Second brother, this is all the help I can give you.

He didn't know what happened between Wayne and Susan, but he knew that Susan slept in Wayne's room, and that scene was witnessed by Gwen—there was no way to explain it.

……

At this moment, Thor walked over with a case of beer, turned on the large-screen virtual TV, and sprawled on the sofa to enjoy his post-victory celebration.

Hulk, who was also carrying a large box of hamburgers, sat down next to Thor, slumping so hard that the sofa dented. But Hulk didn't seem to care, just devouring the hamburgers one after another.

Hey, big guy.

Thor nudged Hulk with his elbow and handed him a can of beer.

Hulk picked up the beer with two fingers, looked it up and down, and then popped the whole thing into his mouth and chewed it.

"Wait, Hulk! It's not like that... Okay."

Seeing that Hulk had already swallowed it, Thor could only shrug helplessly, and then, idly asking, "Speaking of which, where's Banner?"

But asking the question only made things worse. Hulk reacted violently and punched Thor, sending him flying!

Thor, who crashed through the glass and flew out of the Baxter Building, returned shortly afterward, seemingly unharmed by the Hulk's punch.

"You like Banner, but not Hulk! Hulk hates you!"

Hulk glared at Thor, tossing his hamburger aside. "Second brother doesn't hate Hulk! Hulk likes second brother!"

For Hulk, none of these guys liked him; they all liked Banner. But Wayne looked at him no differently than he looked at the others, and Hulk felt respected.

The reason he forced Banner out was because he heard them say it was Wayne's birthday.

Although Hulk didn't understand what a birthday was, he knew it was a very important day for his younger brother.

However, Thor was no pushover; he held Mjolnir in his hand, and lightning began to crackle from his body!

"Hehehe! You two!"

Janet put down the gift she had prepared in advance and flew between Hulk and Thor to stop them from fighting.

"Relax, big guy."

"Thor, put the hammer down first."

Tony and Steve took a step forward and stood in front of Hulk and Thor respectively.

"Gentlemen, today is Wayne's birthday."

Reed walked over as well. "Give me some face, Reed. Please don't cause trouble inside the Baxter Building."

Ben and Johnny stood behind Reed, supporting him.

Thor glanced at Steve and Reed, then glared at Hulk. "For my brother's sake! The Son of Odin won't hold it against you!"

Hulk was also aware of what he was doing. "Hulk didn't want to upset his younger brother."

Seeing Hulk and Thor turn their backs and not look at each other, Tony and Captain America exchanged a helpless smile.

"It's so lively?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, everyone instinctively turned around and saw Wayne slowly walking out with a toothbrush in his mouth, his pajamas twisted into casual wear.

"Second brother!"

Hulk's face lit up with surprise, and he strode forward to give Wayne a bear hug.

"Hey, Hulk."

Wayne patted Hulk's arm, signaling him to let go. Although it wouldn't hurt him, being picked up in front of so many people made him feel quite uncomfortable.

Hulk immediately put Wayne down and turned to Thor with a smug smile.

What the hell?! What is this huge green blob acting so arrogantly about?!

Thor pointed Mjolnir at Hulk, "You beat me to it! The God of Thunder challenges you!"

"Hey! Are you two ever going to stop?!"

Johnny grumbled as he stepped between the two men. "That's my younger brother! Not yours! You bastards! Listen to me!"

Wayne completely ignored the three guys' intentions, and the toothbrush in his mouth disappeared in the blink of an eye—in fact, his godlike body didn't need brushing his teeth or taking a bath.

But Wayne felt uneasy if he didn't clean it up.

As for why not use a bio-force field to warp reality and clean it up—Wayne said that life always needs some sense of ritual.

"Hey."

Hearing the voice, Wayne turned around and saw Gwen tucking her hair behind her ear as she slowly approached him. "Happy birthday."

Looking at Gwen, Wayne was momentarily speechless, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes.

Just then, Susan walked out of his room and saw this scene. Not only Gwen, but everyone else present was stunned.

Susan stumbled slightly as she leaned against the wall and slowly made her way to the kitchen. While making a cup of coffee, she secretly observed the reactions of the others—she did it on purpose, because with her superhuman physique, the pain had almost completely disappeared by now.

Everyone present gaped in the air, their mouths forming an "O" shape, and they all looked back and forth at Susan and Wayne in perfect unison.

Wayne was momentarily stunned. He subconsciously met Gwen's gaze and could clearly see that her eyes had become moist.

Even the invincible Wayne showed surprise at this situation.

But he knew that Gwen was not wrong, nor was Susan. Although he didn't know why he felt a little down, he knew what it meant to be responsible for one's actions. Gwen had the right to know the truth, and he couldn't hide it from her. He needed to be responsible for Susan—it was a responsibility.
