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

Before Wayne's super brain could even get going, Susan had already changed the subject.

"Okay, let's not talk about that now."

Susan's expression turned serious. "Reed analyzed the energy spectrum released by that guy during the day and discovered that this band of energy had appeared multiple times on planets that had been completely destroyed."

"What he said is true."

Susan looked out the window at the vast starry sky. "The threat posed by Galactus is real... Have you seen that thing in the universe?"

Upon hearing this, Wayne shook his head slightly. "I've never met him, but I have heard of him."

Susan's eyes lit up as she listened quietly to Wayne recount some information about Galactus.

Although the power of Galactus shocked Susan, upon closer reflection... it seemed that Galactus might not necessarily be able to defeat her little Wayne.

This reminded Susan of Johnny's favorite saying—"My second brother is invincible!"

Although the planet devourer comes from the sky.

However, Susan's worries were somewhat alleviated.

But she couldn't leave Wayne to face it alone. "Tony Stark contacted Reed, saying he wanted to discuss how to deal with this crisis... We agreed, after all, more people mean more strength."

Susan continued, explaining that because of the recent Battle of New York, Stark Tower was still under reconstruction, so they would come to Baxter Tower to discuss the matter.

Seeing that Wayne didn't seem to have any particular thoughts, Susan didn't say anything more. She leaned against Wayne, slowly closed her eyes, and prepared to fall asleep.

Wayne stared at the ceiling, then somewhat awkwardly whispered, "Susan? Your room is next door, isn't it?"

"Shh~ I'm sleepy, I'll sleep here tonight."

Susan nuzzled Wayne's neck. "It's good that you don't have to be afraid of the dark anymore. You're welcome."

"..."

When did I become afraid of the dark? Have you ever seen a Superman who is afraid of the dark?

Wayne glanced at Susan, whose breathing had slowed, then continued staring at the ceiling, closing his eyes somewhat resignedly.

……

The following day, a Quinjet fighter jet slowly landed on the helipad atop the Baxter Building.

The fighter jet's hatch opened, and the original Avengers slowly emerged—Iron Man Tony Stark, Captain America Steve Rogers, Thor, Hulk Bruce Banner, the original Ant-Man Hank Pym, and the original Wasp Janet Van Dyne.

The Avengers in this universe were created more like those in the comic book universe; they were not led by S.H.I.E.L.D., but rather the result of the heroes uniting on their own initiative.

"Welcome to Baxter Mansion, Captain Rogers."

"No, it is the Avengers who need to thank you for your help, Mr. Richards."

Reed stepped forward and shook hands with Steve. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group got to know each other briefly.

Johnny and Steve exchanged an incredulous glance; they hadn't expected there to actually be someone who looked so much like them.

Johnny, peeking out from beside Wayne, muttered softly, "Second brother, you're right."

The captain actually shares the same face as Thunderbolt!

However, when the conversation turned to Wayne, Tony suddenly interrupted, "We've met, kid. Your performance during the Chitauri invasion really scared me."

Although they didn't have much interaction during the Battle of New York, Wayne's performance of instantly defeating the Chitauri army and then casually throwing Loki into prison left even Loki stunned, let alone Wayne.

"Now that we know each other, things are easier. Let's go inside and talk."

Reed led the group into the Baxter Building.

As Tony passed by Wayne, he jokingly said with a smile, "Please say hello to the Kents for me, thanks."

"..."

I was adopted by the Stones.

Wayne knew, of course, that Tony was joking with him. After all, he had never hidden his relationship with Susan and Johnny, and a little investigation would reveal his past.

We arrived at the conference room in the Baxter Building.

Reed first projected his research results—the energy waves on the Silver Surfer had appeared on many destroyed planets, so there was reason to believe that the "planet devourer" warning he mentioned was not false.

Tony and others had no objection to this, since their research results were similar.

And besides that...

"Sol, did your daddy say anything to you?"

Upon hearing Tony's question, Thor frowned. "The great Father Odin told me that it would be best to abandon Midgard."

Johnny almost sat up when he heard this. What do you mean?

Fortunately, Ben held him back; otherwise, the hot-tempered Johnny would have had to fight Thor, this alien, even if he couldn't beat him.

Thor knew how much his words would hurt the people of Midgard. "Rest assured, the God of Thunder will defend Midgard to the death!"

He did not accept Odin's suggestion. He still had his comrades and lover on Earth, and he could not just abandon it.

"It seems that the planet devourer is indeed dangerous, even the legendary Odin is so wary of it."

Reed waved his hand, and a spaceship appeared in the virtual projection. "My plan is to follow the energy trail left by that guy, use the warp drive to go to the location of the Galactus, and then negotiate with it to make them spare Earth."

"etc."

Tony raised his right hand, holding a pen, his posture somewhat nonchalant, but his expression remained serious. "What if the negotiations fail? Do you have a contingency plan?"

Wayne nonchalantly replied, "It's fine, I'll just beat him up again if the negotiations fail."

However, to Wayne's surprise, it was not Hank and his scientists who first denied the "reservation plan," but Steve.

"Kid, I know you're strong, even stronger than Thor and Hulk."

"Hey, I can't pretend I didn't hear that."

Thor had further objections, but Steve ignored him.

"But no matter how strong you are, I do not support sending a child to the battlefield... that would be a disgrace to us."

Steve glanced at everyone. "Galactic Devourer is far too dangerous. We can't let a child bear that responsibility!"

Even if this child could lift the sun with one hand?

"Even if this child can... Wotfuck?!"

Wayne's casual remark finally made Steve lose his composure.

"Ahem, Captain, you're swearing."

"I know, Tony, thanks for reminding me."

Steve took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and looked at Wayne seriously. "Yes, I still stand by my opinion, even if this kid can lift the sun with one hand."

This is a matter of principle.

Wayne looked up and met Steve's gaze calmly. "But I still stand by and watch Susan and Johnny be in danger."

Johnny didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just patted Wayne on the shoulder hard.

Susan gave Wayne a big hug.

"..."

Steve fell silent, and after a long while he let out a long sigh. He couldn't force someone's will to change. If only he were stronger, then he wouldn't have to send a child to the battlefield.

Thor gently patted Steve on the shoulder and whispered a comforting word, "He's a warrior."
