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

Kenosha, Magneto's palace.

Pietro is right, Wanda's cooking skills are indeed very good.

After a satisfying meal, Wayne left the palace as Magneto's family saw him off. Amidst two pairs of lingering gazes, he flew towards the other side of Kenosha... where Tony had specially bought a luxurious ocean-view villa.

As soon as Wayne returned to the villa, he received a message from Felicia: "[I've prepared a gift for you, guess what it is? Don't peek with your super vision~]"

You're not allowed to use super vision? Then I'll just use super hearing.

Wayne used his super hearing to catch Felicia's voice.

It sounds like they're climbing through ventilation ducts... Hmm, they've come out of the ventilation ducts... Now they're using grappling hooks to leap between buildings.

Did she just sneak into a building?

Recalling that Felicia had seemingly inquired about the captured Hydra agents not long ago, Wayne's super brain instantly processed the information and figured out what she was up to.

However, Wayne wisely commented, "I can't guess. Maybe I can get some hints?"

The other end replied instantly: "No~ But it's okay if you can't guess, you'll find out soon enough (cat covering mouth and laughing.jpg)"

Ah, it seems my answer was correct.

Although the super brain only gave him super intelligence, not super emotional intelligence, Wayne still gradually mastered how to react and answer to different problems through trial and error during this period.

There was nothing he could do. Ever since they confirmed their relationship, they would try to drown him at the slightest disagreement. Wayne was forced to learn little by little, and he felt like he was going further and further down the path of being a scumbag.

With nothing to do after putting down his phone, Wayne used his super vision to see what the others were doing.

Because Gwen hasn't revealed her true identity to her father, she still has to attend classes and can't easily find a reason to leave New York to pursue Hydra. Therefore, she is currently still in New York as "Your Good Neighbor Spider-Woman".

Another reason is probably that she's worried about it interfering with her missions, so Gwen has been making very few phone calls or sending messages lately. However, once she's sure she's free, she'll send a bunch of messages or have long phone conversations.

Meanwhile, Susan was discussing the next steps with Johnny and the others.

Wayne, who had absolutely no interest in "planning and acting," looked at the story for a few minutes before looking away.

Then look at Jean and Emma; they had just used telepathy to extract some rather useless information from the minds of several Hydra agents.

Clearly, Hydra is exceptionally cautious; their agents might not even know what they're doing on a mission.

Seeing that things weren't making any progress, a somewhat frustrated Jean and Emma decided to find a coffee shop to sit down and chat.

Hmm... Emma took out her phone, seemingly about to make a call. The number looks familiar...

Wayne silently pulled out his ringing phone.

……

While Wayne was having a long phone conversation with Emma and Jean, Tony and the others on the other side also ran into trouble.

In the eastern mountains of Australia, a frozen iceberg stands out starkly against the backdrop of the surrounding peaks.

Rumbling—dark clouds, like ink stains, swirled and covered the iceberg.

As countless bolts of lightning and a barrage of miniature missiles continued to bombard the iceberg, the entire iceberg began to tremble violently.

Finally, with two laser beams piercing through one side of the iceberg, the entrance to the Hydra base hidden inside the mountain was completely opened.

Clang—the heavy sound of metal clashing rang out as Tony, clad in his armor, was the first to land in Hydra's base with a superheroic landing.

Next up is Orolo, who can also fly.

Poppy the Iceman created an ice slide beneath the Quinjet that connected to the entrance, and together with Cyclops, they slid down the ice slide into the entrance.

But unlike Iceman and Cyclops who landed smoothly, Banner, who mustered up his courage and slid down, fell flat on his face, and the enraged Hulk immediately appeared!

Their group was small, but comprised of elites, more than capable of taking down the Hydra base.

It's not that they don't want to bring more people.

The main problem is a lack of manpower; each member of the Avengers and the Fantastic Four has their own mission.

While Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters does indeed have many outstanding mutants, Charles believes those students are not yet ready, so only the X-Men were involved.

Besides Jean Grey, Iceman and Storm, the two strongest members of the X-Men, also came along.

Jean and Emma are rare telepathic users; they are needed to extract information and find clues.

Moreover, because of Qin's past history of outbursts, Charles is currently hesitant to let her play.

The remaining angels, Colossus, and the like, some acted as bodyguards, traveling with Steve and his crew to various countries to lobby for justice, while others joined Wolverine in searching for the mutants responsible for the attacks.

While these superheroes combined do number in number, when the scope expands to the world, their numbers are still insufficient.

If superheroes from all over the world could come and help... For some reason, Tony's eyes lit up when he thought of this, but then the strange strangeness in the Hydra base brought him back to his senses.

Tony suppressed the thoughts that were popping into his mind for the time being and cautiously had Jarvis scan the surroundings.

"Not a single person?"

Laser Eyes' gaze swept across the dimly lit and empty Hydra base.

"roar!"

The impatient Hulk rampaged through the base, ignoring Tony's shouts and continuing to venture deeper into the territory.

But he hadn't run far when the base's lighting suddenly turned on—illuminating the entire huge space inside the mountain.

"What is that?"

Thousands upon thousands of silver-white humanoid machines were neatly arranged within the base.

In front of them, a giant display screen slowly descended, revealing a virtual digital image of a "bald man wearing glasses".

"Hey, Iron Man."

"Let me guess... are you Hydra's call center customer service?"

"No, Iron Man, or rather... Tony Stark, Howard Stark's son, you can call me—Arnim Zola."

"!!!"

Upon hearing the name, Tony's eyes widened instinctively.

This is simply because the name belongs to the chief scientist of Hydra during World War II.

He had heard this name from more than one person, and after learning that his father was the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., he also learned some other things about his father's past.

This includes Howard Stark, a fellow scientist who was Arnim Zola's direct adversary during World War II, and who personally participated in the operation to arrest Zola.

But what truly shocked Tony was that Zola, no matter who it was, was already dead!

But Tony, being a top genius, instantly guessed everything when he saw the digitized Zola on the screen.

"Okay, it's an old relic from the last century hidden in the data."

Tony scoffed. "Are you here to send threatening emails, or are you simply trying to tell me you won't be arrested just because you've lost your hands?"

"No, Tony, I just want to tell you that your parents didn't die in an accident."

"?!?!"
