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

Inside the Baxter Building.

The gentle, warm sunlight shone through the glass and fell on Wayne's closed eyelids.

Having already woken up, Susan, who had been staring at Wayne and couldn't get enough of looking at him, used her force field to casually pull the curtains shut.

Gently pulling Wayne's head into her arms, Susan's face revealed a tender warmth tinged with maternal love.

But when Susan thought about how this guy had found another silver-haired girl from who-knows-where a few days ago, her face stiffened, then a resentful look appeared on her face, which turned into a helpless sigh, and finally her gentle expression returned.

"I'm sorry, Susan."

Wayne, who had been awake for a while, listened to Susan's heartbeat and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"It's good that you know, kid."

Susan paused for a moment, then smiled and hugged me tighter. "But never mind, just come with me for a walk this afternoon."

Susan knew Wayne's capabilities, and that if he wanted, he could completely change the world, including them, to whatever he desired.

But he didn't. Wayne, who considered Susan and the others as family, never believed he had the right to change or restrict them at will. If one day they chose to leave him, he might feel disappointed and try to keep them, but he would never use force to restrict them... because they were family, not enemies.

On the contrary, they always wanted to keep Wayne by their side, resorting to various means and pulling each other in opposite directions, which led to Wayne, who originally had no special ideas, encountering his current situation.

Susan rested her chin on Wayne's head, pursed her lips, and murmured, "I'm sorry, Wayne."

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing!"

"You should know I have super hearing, right?"

"You heard me, why are you still asking!"

Susan gave the boy a light slap, but eventually smiled with relief. Although she did feel a little guilty, it was absolutely impossible for her to give him up.

Just like a vegetarian eating barbecue, you can feel guilty, but you absolutely cannot be slow with your hands.

Even if the pig she raised herself were made into roast suckling pig, she would still eat the most of it.

……

However, Susan's plan to take Wayne shopping in the afternoon was clearly going to fall through.

When they came out of the room, they ran into Johnny, who had come to call them.

"Sister, second brother, you've come at just the right time."

Johnny held a toothbrush in one hand and a sandwich in the other, brushing his teeth and taking a bite, which drew disgust from Wayne and Susan.

"What? You asked for this!"

Johnny felt incredibly wronged. Since he could burst into flames, he didn't care whether he washed or took a bath, since the flames would burn away the bacteria.

The problem is that if he doesn't wash or shower, Susan will inevitably criticize him, and even Wayne dislikes him, so he has no choice but to do a symbolic cleaning.

It's one thing to be disliked for not cleaning, but to be disliked even after cleaning is just awful!

"Speak quickly if you need anything!"

Susan impatiently urged Johnny, who was on emo, to hurry up.

"Oh, Reed said the Avengers invited us to their new base, saying they have something important to discuss."

Johnny swallowed the sandwich in a few bites, then brushed his teeth casually and considered the cleaning done.

Hearing Johnny's words, Susan sighed helplessly. Why are there so many things going on lately?

In the past, they followed the adventurer's routine of "going on adventures - causing trouble - resolving the trouble they caused".

They're almost becoming vigilante groups like the Avengers now.

"Perhaps they really don't have enough manpower, so they asked us for help?"

The Stone Man walked by with a cup of coffee in his hand. "After all, Reed said they were in a hurry."

……

After a quick breakfast, the group went to Reed's laboratory together.

Reed was the one who first called on the others to set off, but in the end he was the last one to arrive.

After all, Reed has recently been researching the multiverse shuttle and has made considerable progress. For someone as obsessed with science as him, once he enters experimental mode, he doesn't care about anything else.

After finally managing to get Reed out of the lab, Johnny couldn't help but ask him what the Avengers wanted from them.

"Huh? Didn't I say that?"

Reed thought about it carefully and realized that he had only called out twice because he was in a hurry to get to the lab. "Okay, I forgot."

The group entered the elevator, and Reed began to speak.

"They say it's related to mutants, and they've discovered that Hydra is involved... Speaking of which, Hydra is really hard to deal with. I heard that Captain Rogers worked for several days straight without sleep, but he still couldn't eradicate them completely."

Hydra has now infiltrated every aspect of most countries, and eradicating them completely is no easy task.

"Mutants?"

Susan recalled that there had indeed been a significant increase in negative news about mutants recently.

"We'll only know the specifics once we get to their new base."

Honestly, if the situation hadn't been so serious that even the usually carefree Tony on the other end of the phone had become serious, Reed might not have agreed to go, especially since the reasons hadn't even been clearly explained.

……

The Avengers' new base is in the suburbs of upstate New York.

This place is sparsely populated, so there's no need to worry about the villains causing trouble and harming the surrounding residents.

A spaceship marked with the number "4" slowly landed on the tarmac. As soon as Wayne and the others got off the spaceship, they saw Pym and Janet walking towards them.

Because they were both geniuses, Pym and Reed got along quite well. After a brief chat, they walked quickly towards the magnificent, technologically advanced building in the distance, led by Pym.

On the way, Susan also tried to ask Janet some questions, and Janet answered them all. However, because of the short time, her answers were rather brief—just as Reed had said before, it was probably Hydra's doing, seemingly trying to incite a war between mutants and ordinary people.

Wayne, having nothing better to do, glanced around the base. Johnny, noticing this, quickly leaned over and asked, "What did you see?"

Upon hearing this, Wayne simply shook his head—he had seen it all, but it was almost entirely coated with a layer of red copper, and to put the minds of those suspicious individuals at ease, he chose not to speak.

Upon arriving at the highly secure conference room, the group saw the Avengers and others who were already there. However, Thor was not present, but... a certain black guy and his henchman were.

Wayne glanced at the three people sitting next to Fury—Hawkeye, Black Widow, and someone else whose name seemed to be Hill? It seemed that these were the only agents Fury could trust at the moment.

Hawkeye and the others, seeing Wayne up close for the first time, also gave Superman a curious once-over.

"Hey! Kid!"

Tony walked over enthusiastically, put his arm around Wayne's shoulder, and pulled Wayne to sit down next to him. "How do you feel about this place? I reserved a villa for you in the dorm area. You can move in whenever you want."

"Tony? Let's get down to business."

Seeing Reed's face darken, Steve hurriedly reminded Tony that they should at least wait until Reed was not around before talking to him.

"Of course, no problem, Captain."

Tony leaned close to Wayne's ear and whispered, "I'll take you to see it later. Trust me, you'll be absolutely thrilled."
