Although they knew that Mark had saved them, they still couldn't help but feel a great fear of Mark for causing all of this.
Mark didn't care. He saved people simply because he felt like it, and he didn't care whether these people would be grateful to him.
He put his electromagnetic pulse glasses back on and prepared to fly away.
Mark plans to find a hotel in the city to stay in, and then head to space early the next morning to absorb more sunlight.
Just then, the boy who had been hiding in the shadows shook off the girl's pull and ran toward Mark.
"Sir, sir! Are you the superpowered person from the movies? Could you teach me that superpower you had just used, where your eyes were glowing like that?"
He ran excitedly to Mark's side, pointed to his eyes, and looked at Mark expectantly, asking a question.
He did not look down on Mark because he was shorter than him; instead, his eyes were filled with admiration.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Looking at the boy in front of him with gray curly hair and fair skin, Mark asked with some curiosity.
All the adults around him only dared to stand at a distance and watch, and didn't dare to get close to Mark at all.
Unexpectedly, the boy in front of him wasn't afraid of him at all.
Thinking about how the boy had risked his life to save the little girl, Mark couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill towards him.
"Of course we're not afraid! You're a hero! Just like those heroes in Hollywood movies, you're here to protect us!"
The boy said it in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Hehe, another kid obsessed with Hollywood movies."
Mark chuckled inwardly, then shook his head at the boy opposite him, saying, "Forget it, even if I taught you my abilities, you wouldn't be able to learn them."
"No! Even if others can't learn it, I'm sure I can!"
The boy looked confident, then lowered his voice and said, "I'll tell you a secret. I actually have superpowers too. I often see myself running as fast as lightning in my dreams!"
The boy clearly believed he was one of the main characters in Hollywood movies, and all he needed was a teacher to guide him so he could become a hero like them.
Mark initially dismissed the other person's words as childish talk.
But upon hearing what the other person said next, his expression changed, and he looked at the boy and asked, "Tell me first, what's your name?"
"My name is Pietro Maximov."
Pietro gave his name.
"It really is him, Quicksilver from the future Avengers, who possesses supersonic speed that breaks the sound barrier."
Mark then looked at the girl in the corner, who was about the same age as Pietro and was looking at them with a worried expression.
If nothing unexpected happens, the other party should be Pietro's sister Wanda—who later became the Scarlet Witch, possessing powerful mental abilities.
Both of them are important members of the future Avengers.
Wanda, in particular, is the pinnacle of the alliance's strength.
Unfortunately, neither brother nor sister met a good end.
Pietro sacrificed himself to save his companions, and Wanda ultimately died to eliminate the threat to the multiverse.
After learning Pietro and Wanda's identities, Mark abandoned his plan to leave immediately.
Whether it's to stop Thanos's attempt to wipe out half of humanity or to change the tragic fate of Pietro and his sister, Mark decides to do something.
"If you can take me to a nice hotel, I can teach you how to use superpowers."
Mark said to Pietro.
Chapter Ninety-Nine: Mark's Scheme (Part 1)
After learning about Pietro and Wanda's identities, Mark already had his own plans.
"That's great, thank you, teacher!"
Pietro seized the opportunity and addressed Mark as "teacher."
He then excitedly ran to Wanda and told her that he wanted to become Mark's student and learn superpowers from him.
Although they are twins, Wanda is the younger sister, but she is much more mature than Pietro.
"You know who he is, yet you believe he'll teach you how to use superpowers? And your dream about having superpowers is just a dream, it's all fake, fake!"
Wanda was utterly speechless at her foolish brother. She pulled Pietro aside and whispered, "He just killed so many people like that. Aren't you afraid of him?"
Wanda, like everyone else, felt a sense of fear towards Mark, this mysterious man whose face was never clearly visible.
The fact that the other person's height and voice sounded like a child made it even more eerie.
Surely the other person isn't really a six or seven-year-old child?
In Wanda's mind, Mark had even been categorized as a monster.
"What's there to be afraid of? He only kills bad people anyway!"
Pietro, however, was unconcerned, already convinced that Mark was his destined mentor who would guide him on the path to heroism, just like the protagonists in movies.
After he finished speaking, he prepared to take Mark to a hotel to complete his commission.
Seeing that Pietro had made up his mind, Wanda had no choice but to follow him.
Since the family tragedy, the brother and sister have never been separated.
Wanda was also worried about Pietro leaving with Mark alone.
"By the way, what should we do with this little guy?"
Pietro then looked at the little girl he had just rescued.
She was still staring blankly at her parents' corpses not far away, as if she had lost her soul.
If she were left here alone, she would probably have a hard time surviving in this chaotic city.
But Pietro and Wanda were just two older children; it was already a miracle they had survived in the city, and they couldn't possibly take on such a young child as well.
"Why don't we go ask him and see what he has to say?"
Wanda's eyes lit up, and she gestured for Pietro to ask Mark, who was standing not far away.
She wanted to see Mark's attitude. If he was cold and ruthless, she could let Pietro see his true colors and then find an opportunity to quietly escape with Pietro.
Pietro, without any ulterior motives, went straight to Mark and asked him about it after hearing the news.
"Since she has nowhere to go, let's take her with us!"
Mark nodded and said.
His only targets were Pietro and Wanda; he wouldn't mind bringing one more person.
However, just as Pietro was about to leave with the little girl, she still stared blankly at her parents' bodies, unwilling to leave.
Children in this chaotic city tend to be precocious, and this little girl must have realized that her parents were dead.
"This……"
Pietro looked helpless and could only turn to Mark with a pleading expression.
In his eyes, Mark was like those heroes in movies, all-powerful.
"Alice, contact the nearest funeral home and have them come and collect the body."
Mark gave the order to Alice.
Ten minutes later, a hearse drove up, and three staff members got out of it.
Mark casually tossed them a wad of dollars, telling them to collect the little girl's parents' bodies and bury them in a cemetery.
Anyway, this money was just some dirty money he casually grabbed from Eric's safe, so he didn't feel bad about spending it.
Only after the little girl's parents' bodies were taken away by the hearse did she finally leave with Mark and the other two, tears streaming down her face.
On the way, Pietro asked the little girl her name and learned that it was Dalia.
Pietro should be familiar with the area, and he quickly led Mark to a high-end hotel in the nearby neighborhood.
Mark booked two luxury suites at the hotel; he stayed in one, while Pietro, Wanda, and Dalia shared the other.
Pietro had been eager to learn superpowers from Mark, and as soon as he settled in, he couldn't wait to go find Mark.
Wanda followed Pietro, eager to see how Mark would teach her brother to use his superpowers.
She thought Pietro had just watched too many Hollywood movies and was taking his dreams of having superpowers seriously.
"Teacher, when will you teach me superpowers... huh?"
When Pietro knocked on Mark's door and entered his room, he saw Mark, who had removed his EMP glasses, revealing his true appearance.
He and Wanda looked at Mark, both of them with surprise.
Pietro hadn't expected that the teacher he had taken in would look even younger than him.
Wanda was even more surprised.
She had always thought that a monster was hiding behind Mark's face, which she could never see clearly!
When Wanda saw that Mark was just a child who looked seven or eight years old, with delicate and lovely features like an angel, most of her fear and wariness towards him immediately disappeared.
Mark didn't pay attention to their reactions.
He asked the brother and sister to sit on the sofa in the living room, and then briefly introduced himself: "My name is Mark Payne, and I am a mutant with superpowers, which you have seen before."
"Actually, you two both have superpowers too!"
Mark's next words surprised both Pietro and Wanda.
"That's great! I never knew you had superpowers, little sister!"
Pietro didn't doubt Mark's words at all and looked at Wanda with a look of surprise.
Wanda, on the contrary, appeared quite calm.
Although she was no longer as afraid of Mark as before, she wouldn't completely trust him like her foolish brother did.
"Pietro, you have a mutated gene hidden within you, it just hasn't awakened yet. Once it awakens, you'll have super speed!"
“Wanda, you are born with chaotic energy within you. Only after this energy is activated can you truly master it.”
"I have a way to help you activate your superpowers, but it will take a few years."
Mark continued speaking to Pietro and Wanda.
According to the original storyline, Pietro and Wanda awakened their abilities after absorbing the energy emitted by the Mind Stone.
When the opportunity arises in the future, Mark will be able to activate the two people's superpowers using the same method.
"Thank you, Mark, we can wait for you to find a solution!"
Pietro immediately expressed his gratitude.
After learning Mark's real age, Pietro felt embarrassed to continue calling him "teacher," but his respect and trust for him did not diminish.
Wanda didn't say anything, but she already believed most of what Mark said.
Although he didn't witness his own superpowers in his dreams like Pietro, some strange things did happen around her!
Chapter 100 Mark's Scheme (Part 2)
One year ago, Wanda's apartment was attacked by two missiles one night.
One of the missiles struck her parents' bedroom, killing them both instantly.
Another missile struck her and Pietro's room.
Wanda watched in horror as the missile, with its fiery tail, hurtled toward her bedroom through her window.
"do not want!"
At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: to prevent the missile from exploding.
Then a miracle happened.
The bomb flew into her bedroom, crashed through the wall, and then stopped—it didn't explode!
Wanda could clearly see the "Stark Industries" logo engraved on the missile's body.
