I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Bruce had already changed into a black bathrobe.

The bruises on his wrists suggested that his actions tonight did not seem to go so smoothly.

Although the fledgling Batman is powerful enough, he is clearly not yet used to the quagmire of Gotham and is still a "little bat" who is occasionally ambushed and injured by henchmen.

"Keep investigating. I want to see how deep they can hide."

Alfred replied, "Yes, Master Wayne. Oh, and one more thing..."

"What?" Brwevein asked, puzzled.

Alfred applied the special ointment to the bruises on Bruce's arm, then pointed to a porcelain bottle not far away and slowly said, "Young Master, you spent a million on this porcelain bottle?"

"Uh...yes." Bruce looked embarrassed.

Before leaving the Batcave, Alfred said, "While it's nothing, I still hope you'll take it easy... This bottle is fake."

The next morning, Depp took a good shower, ran his fingers through his half-long hair, and put on a carefully chosen outfit.

After packing her suitcase, holding onto the trolley and the wooden box containing the vase, she looked in the mirror and thought she looked incredibly cool today!

Next, Depp used a week's worth of time to travel through the Marvel Universe.

He had everything planned out, ready to enjoy the seven-day vacation and ease the tension that had been building in Gotham.

Choose landing location - West Coast, Los Angeles, California.

Transfer countdown...3...2...1, DC world time has paused, transfer begins.

A dazzling purple halo enveloped Depp and his luggage, then with a "pop," they disappeared in front of the mirror.

City of Angels, here I come!

Chapter 4 The Vanished Vacation

Los Angeles, California, USA, 2011.

Wispy white clouds drifted across the sky above Inglewood, and sunlight showered down like golden rain upon the passing cars and pedestrians, creating a vibrant and thriving scene.

A dazzling purple light flashed, and Depp, carrying a backpack and holding a small cart, appeared in a deserted alley.

Stepping out of the alley and basking in the dazzling yet warm California sunshine, Depp let out a long sigh.

"Great, I landed safely without any problems."

Pushing a trolley full of luggage, Depp seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

"I'm a little hungry." Depp rubbed his stomach, deciding to buy something to eat first before proceeding with his next plan.

Find a courier company and mail the blue and white porcelain vase to Stark Tower!

He had no intention of personally delivering the item to Tony; after all, getting too close to these main characters could lead to a terrible death.

It's not that he dislikes Tony that much, but for safety reasons, Depp felt that his relationship with Tony should stop online.

So he specifically chose Los Angeles, a city thousands of kilometers away from New York, to stay away from Iron Man and the others.

Depp casually walked into a donut shop and bought one of every flavor with a wave of his hand.

I randomly picked up a strawberry flavored one and took a bite. It tasted pretty good, but for some reason, I was the only customer and a staff member in the entire store.

"How pleasant!" Depp said, pushing his stroller out the door with a donut in his mouth.

During his more than one month in Gotham, he was never truly relaxed for a single second; the constant tension kept him on the verge of a breakdown.

Now, he can finally eat, drink, and have fun without any worries!

Although it was only a short week, it was enough to make him happy.

Ice cream, barbecue, burritos, lobster, and blondes in Hollywood and on the beach...

Just as Depp was fantasizing about the blissful week ahead, a discordant voice suddenly appeared.

"Hey, Depp?"

"Hmm?" Depp frowned upon hearing this and looked around warily.

That familiar voice shattered all his fantasies into a million pieces in an instant.

“It really is you, Depp!” the familiar voice continued. “Hey, I’m up there! Look up, my friend.”

Depp stared blankly behind him. On the roof of the donut shop he had just visited, a huge concrete donut with the words 'RANDYSDONUTS' on it stood.

In the middle of the cement donut, Tony Stark sat there in his signature red and gold armor, looking at Depp with surprise.

Depp, looking deflated, replied listlessly, "Hey Tony. Have you turned into an Iron Man-flavored donut?"

Upon hearing this, Tony forcibly pulled Depp onto the donut as well.

"Haha, so you live in Los Angeles too?" Tony shook his head after seeing the suitcase on the ground. "Wait, you came here specifically to see me? So... you came all the way to Los Angeles to deliver that bottle to me, right?"

No, I didn't! I came to Los Angeles specifically to hide from you!

What's going on? Isn't your Stark Tower in New York? Why are you in Los Angeles...?

and many more!

Depp suddenly realized where he had overlooked something. Although Stark Tower was in New York, Iron Man's famous seaside villa, 'Freedom City,' was in San Diego, California, which is also part of California, just like Los Angeles.

Given the distance of less than 200 kilometers between the two places, this guy could probably make a round trip in less than ten minutes.

I was careless...

Just as Depp was considering how to get out of the situation, a black man with a strong-looking hairstyle walked over from a distance.

"Hey sir, please get off the donut."

Depp then said, "Looks like I should go down now, Tony."

The man was wearing a stylish black leather trench coat, had a thick beard, but no hair left.

However, what draws the most attention is the black eye patch covering his left eye.

Nick Fury is arguably the most useful figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Depp climbed down from the donut and put on the profile picture mirror. As he expected, the black guy's head was labeled "Nick Fury".

“It’s the real deal,” Depp thought. “Looks like he hasn’t gone to space yet, and hasn’t had a Skrull do his thing.”

Seeing Depp climb down first, Nick Fury added, "Sorry, I wasn't talking about you. But... if it's alright, could you leave first?"

Depp shrugged, glanced back at Tony, and then pushed the cart to leave.

He had only taken a few steps when it suddenly occurred to him.

Based on the famous scene just now, this feels more like Iron Man 2 from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In other words, Tony is currently in critical condition due to palladium poisoning, and his life could end at any moment.

But... according to the original plot, he should have found the clues left by his father with Nick Fury's help, and thus discovered the new element, right...?

Thinking this, Depp took a few more steps forward, then resolutely turned back and walked back to Nick Fury's side.

Because he was still a little worried, in case something went wrong, Tony could die!

Moreover, his presence here was an unexpected turn of events outside the main plot, so he couldn't risk putting Tony in danger.

Although they had only communicated via video and text before, and Tony was a bit annoying, he was still the person who had been with Depp the longest since he traveled through time, and was currently his only friend.

I must not abandon it.

On the other side, Nick Fury was somewhat curious about Depp, the young man who was chatting happily with Iron Man, but his main mission was more important this time.

He could no longer stand by and watch Iron Man fall into depravity.

Depp left and then returned. Nick Fury glanced back at him, then said to the air, "See this young gentleman off, and be careful not to damage his luggage."

As soon as Nick Fury finished speaking, three S.H.I.E.L.D. agents dressed in black suits immediately stepped out from the corner.

Upon seeing this, Tony immediately pointed at Nick Fury and said, "I said, don't touch my friend, or else I..."

Before Tony could finish speaking, Depp took down two agents in a single encounter.

Then he finished off the last agent, named Coulson, with a German-style slam.

The entire process was smooth and fluid, without the slightest unnecessary movement.

This is the result of combining Batman's top-notch fighting skills with Jarvis's supercomputing abilities!

In just one round, three well-trained S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were taken down!

"Well done, Depp!" Tony laughed.

Nick Fury hadn't expected this unknown kid to be so powerful, and immediately shouted, "Come out, Natasha, no need to hide anymore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Depp felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind him.

Depp dodged the vicious kick by tilting his head slightly, grabbed the attacker's sturdy calves with both hands, swung him around, and hurled him forward with force.

It feels so good!

Fortunately, the opponent wasn't very heavy; otherwise, with Depp's current strength, he probably wouldn't have been able to shake him off.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, flung into the air, used his waist to spin around once before landing in a classic pose with one leg bent at the knee and the other straight.

Natasha Romanov

Looking at the sexy redhead in front of him, Depp suddenly felt a little dazed.

I'm actually fighting Black Widow, that's ridiculous!

However, Natasha had no intention of giving the handsome man in front of her a chance to admire or catch her breath; she was the deadly and beautiful Black Widow.

Depp was on high alert as he watched Natasha charge at him again.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The two exchanged blows, unleashing a variety of fighting techniques.

For a time, the two exchanged blows and managed to fight to a standstill.

However, his good fortune didn't last long. The huge difference in physical fitness caused Depp to start to weaken after three minutes, and five minutes later he was already pinned to the ground by Natasha.

Natasha straddled Depp's shoulders, her legs clamping tightly around Depp's head.
