My Marvel Superman Girlfriend.

"Okay, I believe you."

Adrian nodded without hesitation, stood up, and dusted off his clothes.

He regained his fighting spirit.

……

The city's neon lights are reflected on the river.

hope Nian stood on the shore shrouded in night, watching Adrian walk alone into the brightly lit city.

Adrian Tooms the Vulture isn't really a villain in the true sense. He never intended to harm anyone; he was simply led astray by alien garbage.

Given that the other party is likely to be Peter Parker's future father-in-law, hope Nian is still willing to give him a chance.

hope Nian withdrew his gaze, his brows furrowed slightly, and looked in the direction of the Avengers headquarters.

Something feels off...

Although the Avengers are now practically defunct and severely understaffed, Iron Man would at least come and check on the fact that their supply transport plane was destroyed, right?

However, as of now, the Avengers have not responded to the events unfolding here.

This can only mean that the other party has likely encountered a much bigger and more serious incident!

Suddenly, Xinian's phone beeped.

The AI ​​Alice's voice rang out: "Master, there's a situation with Lorna!"

hope Nian's expression hardened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "I'll go back right away!"

……

at the same time.

The Avengers headquarters building was completely dark.

The superhero-only floor on the top floor was a mess, with dents and charred marks on the ceiling, floor and walls, and shards of glass and furniture scattered everywhere!

Clearly, a battle has just taken place here!

"call!"

Thor exhaled a breath of hot air, his hair disheveled, his red cloak hanging down, still in a hammer-wielding attack stance!

With the tip of the Storm Hammer he held in his right hand, he smashed a hole in the floor, and inside the hole lay a silver iron man emitting electric current.

It looks exactly like Stark Industries' Iron Man suit, an early Mark model that hasn't been painted yet!

The unmanned Iron Man suit, its chest now shattered, its steel head with one eye glowing, coldly stared at Thor:

"god?"

It emitted an extremely sharp, hoarse sound.

next to.

A green monster, two or three meters tall, let out a low growl and tore apart another suit of steel armor that was trying to attack it with its large, rough hands.

Only a steel head remained, rolling to the ground like a sphere with a hoarse, piercing sound.

"Humanity is a cancer..."

"It must be eradicated to save the world."

The steel head finished speaking.

boom!!

With one stomp, the Hulk crushed the steel head along with the floor!

"Tony, what's going on? Why is your Iron Man suit attacking us?"

Thor exclaimed in surprise and doubt.

Not far away.

Tony Stark was not wearing the Iron Man suit; only his right hand was covered with an armored hand engine.

He leaned against the wall, looking at the steel head that had been crushed by the Hulk, and gave a bitter smile:

"This is bad."

Chapter 344, The Heart of the North Star, The Dying City

Future Era Headquarters, Top Floor Office.

With a loud clang.

Wearing steel armor, Xinian descended from the sky back to the open-air balcony on one side. The floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor opened, and a green-haired woman dressed in a men's suit quickly came out to greet him.

In an instant, hope Nian realized that something must have changed on the side of Target Number One.

After all, given the boss's proud nature, he would never go out of his way to welcome his underling.

really.

Lorna calmly stated, "Pietro is missing."

"Gone?" hope Nian's face darkened as he stepped into the office, which resembled a luxurious suite.

"Master, this is the surveillance footage from Target Number One's home five minutes ago," Alice reported quickly while bringing up the virtual projection.

As can be seen, the surveillance camera shows the view from Pietro's room.

Five minutes ago.

Pietro, dressed in his pajamas, was sitting cross-legged on his bed playing video games. His hands moved so fast that his fingers became blurry afterimages, making it impossible for the game characters to keep up with his actions.

Just then.

Pietro glanced down at the digital watch on his left wrist, as if remembering something. His expression changed slightly, and he tossed the battle-damaged handle aside.

then.

The handle had not yet hit the ground.

In the next frame of the surveillance video, Pietro vanished from the bed, as if he had evaporated into thin air!

If someone else saw this scene in the surveillance video, they would probably be scared half to death.

However, Xinian had clearly become accustomed to the extraordinary.

"Where did that kid go so late at night?" hope Nian muttered to himself.

Both he and Lorna knew perfectly well that Pietro hadn't disappeared. Rather, he was moving too fast, exceeding the frame rate that the surveillance cameras could capture.

Since Pietro was not seen inside the house.

This means the other person has left...

"Don't worry, boss, I'll find him." hope Nian looked at Lorna standing to the side, reached out and grasped her clenched right fist, and comforted her with certainty.

He knew that despite Lorna's domineering demeanor and apparent indifference to everything, she was still capable of handling the situation.

Just like three years ago, he appears cold on the outside but is warm on the inside, and cares deeply about and misses his family.

Therefore, when dealing with current matters, one may slightly lose the composure and calmness one usually displays.

But it's okay.

hope Nian smiled.

If you can't do something, let your little brother do it for you. That's my duty!

……

Unlike usual, Lorna did not shake off Xinian's hand, but let the boy hold it gently.

Take advantage of Xinian to watch the virtual projection.

Lorna glanced at the boy's handsome face, watching him take this matter seriously as if it were his own.

She never imagined that she, who had always been independent and self-reliant and believed that she could accomplish anything on her own, would one day become so dependent on others.

Lorna finds herself becoming vulnerable whenever he is by her side.

The hard shell that one has built up from childhood will always be inadvertently peeled away by the other person, revealing the softness within.

It's okay since he's the younger brother.

Each time, Lorna would use this as a way of comforting herself, and then gradually sink deeper into it. Whenever something happened, she would immediately think of this most special little brother and instinctively want to rely on him.

Lorna discovered that she felt more like a woman when Xinian was around.

"So that's how it is..." Lorna murmured to herself, her pale green eyes clear and bright, as if she had suddenly realized something.

"Boss, what are you saying?"

hope Nian glanced at her blankly, but didn't forget to give Alice an order: "Use all the satellites of the future era to scan the global surveillance network and find Pietro's location as soon as possible."

"It's nothing." Lorna shook her head gently, a slight smile playing on her lips.

She relaxed her clenched right fist, letting hope Nian's large hand envelop her.

……

Sokovia.

This is a small, resource-poor, and unstable landlocked country in Eastern Europe.

It's called a country, but it's actually only about the size of a city.

At this time, in Sokovia, inside the city.

Wearing baseball caps and masks, a man and a woman walked hand in hand down the street, like tourists from afar, their light green and light blue eyes visible respectively.

"Is Pietro really here?" his girlfriend asked curiously, looking around.

"Alice tracked his phone's location, right here," the overly young male companion shrugged, replying with a hint of surprise.

Where we are now is almost thirteen time zones away from New York, more than a hemisphere away.

So, even though it's still nighttime in New York.

It was a new day in Sokovia. The sun was rising from the snow-capped mountains in the east, casting brilliant golden rays upon the city, and the cold morning mist was melting away in the air.
