Chapter 222: The Elders Gather, the Heroes Assemble
When Tony opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a nutrient-soaked life support pod.
A warm feeling enveloped him, as if the baby had returned to its mother's womb.
"Uh, am I dreaming? Otherwise, why lie in Stark Industries' survival pod? β
Tony's pale face, which had lost too much blood, showed a look of doubt.
In the drowsy head, the memories are scattered and fragmented, like poorly edited movie clips.
He saw the alloy hatch covered on it, and there was a familiar logo similar to the letter A in the conspicuous place, which was the logo of Stark Industries.
With a light touch of your hand, the virtual interface suddenly appeared.
Tony did it well, and it didn't take long for the nutrient solution covering his body to gradually recede, and the lid of the life support chamber opened automatically.
"Are you awake?"
It so happened that a young man walked into the room, and he saw Tony, who was naked and skinny, throwing a bath towel in his hand.
"It's a few minutes faster than I expected, and you look like you're fine."
Tony grabbed the towel and wiped it clean to absorb the volatile nutrient residue.
Then take out a brand new set of clothes from the storage level under the survival pod.
He seemed very knowledgeable about the layout and facilities of the room.
"Who are you? Why am I here? If memory serves, this room looks like the Cradle of Regeneration Cultivation Room I designed earlier! β
Tony had a lot of questions on his mind, and he touched the hideous wound under his chest.
The infected pus was disposed of, leaving not even a single slight scar on the surface of the skin.
If it weren't for Tony's clear memory, his tragic battle with Thanos on Titans might have thought he had a terrible nightmare.
Actually, nothing happened.
Erasing the snapping fingers of half of life in the universe, the sacrifices of the Guardians of the Galaxy and Spider-Man and Doctor Strange are all just a reflection of the fear in the heart.
"I said, according to seniority, you should call me godfather."
The young man who brought Iron Man back from the Milano was none other than Luke.
He first found the Nebula, identified himself, and entered the ship.
Immediately afterwards, he found that Iron Man's physical condition was not optimistic, and hurriedly sent the other party to the Kun fighter.
Fortunately, before setting off, Luke had anticipated that Tony might be in a weakened state, so he specially prepared Dr. Helen Zhao's regenerative cradle system.
The vibranium body created by Ultron back then, as well as the idea of Iron Man's nano armor later, all came from it.
"Godfather? Honestly, you should probably call me Uncle Stark. β
Tony changed into a well-fitting uniform, and the whole person felt like he had been reborn.
"I know a very broken high school kid who doesn't look much older than him! Just graduated from college this year? β
Tony clearly doesn't believe in the so-called "godfather".
I'm afraid it's hard for anyone to accept a godfather who is much younger than himself.
"Well, every time I meet someone, I have to explain to them where I came from, and that's getting boring for me."
Luke spread his hands and smiled, "Tony, I know your dad Howard - although he is your dad from another universe, you all have the same blood in your veins anyway, and you both have the natural narcissism and pride of the Stark family, as well as genius minds. β
"Even though you weren't born in my universe, Howard has agreed to let me be your godfather β if he can actually marry before the age of thirty-five."
"I don't know what kind of charming woman your mother Mary is, but it's amazing to have Howard take responsibility and take on the family."
Seeing Luke familiar with himself, talking about his father and mother, Tony's brain couldn't help but be a little down.
He tries to analyze the meaning of each of Luke's words, but the results are not ideal.
Different cosmic time and space, different time nodes, these contents that ordinary people cannot understand, want to quickly digest and accept, it is a big problem for anyone.
Even if Iron Man is one of the top geniuses in the world.
But without figuring out Luke's identity, he still showed a confused look.
"In other words, this guy, oh no, should be dear godfather, he is from another universe and space, not only is the captain's comrade-in-arms, but also knows my father, by the way, you can actually defeat Thor's big guy in a personal heads-up, it's amazing!"
Half an hour later, Tony, who was chewing compressed biscuits and drinking tons of fat house happy water, finally cleared his mind.
"Hey! I just wasn't serious! β
Thor said dissatisfied.
He hated it when people talked about it over and over again.
"Well, I'm just going to say it casually."
Tony waved his hand, and after regaining his strength and spirit, he became the energetic Iron Man again.
"That's back to business, Luke...... Do you want me to call you Godfather, or Uncle Cavill? β
Luke heard the teasing meaning in his words, shrugged his shoulders and said, "You know, although parallel universes do not interfere with each other, there are exceptions to everything. β
"Tony, the universe where you gave me back hasn't been born yet, and your dad isn't married, which means it's very likely that you're not born, causing a chain accident."
"I believe that if you have watched "Back to the Future", you should know what I am talking about."
Tony, who swallowed the last bite of the compressed biscuit, made a gesture of surrender and pouted, "Okay, then call you Uncle Cavill." β
After some back-and-forth bickering, the atmosphere in the cockpit of the Kun fighter gradually became solemn.
"Tony, you're okay, everybody's happy."
Captain America opened with such a sentence.
"After that fiasco of Thanos, each of us lost a lot."
"Quiel's unlucky bastard, and Gamora, and Drax's stupid hat......"
Rocket Raccoon sat on Thor's shoulder, sniffled, and wiped it clean with Thor's cape.
The Guardians of the Galaxy are now the only ones left, and the rest of the members have been wiped out with snaps of their fingers.
Such a mortality rate is simply staggering!
The Avengers, on the other hand.
The veteran members are all fine.
It can only be said that what Thanos said is absolutely fair, random chances, and perhaps the will of the universe in the dark.
"Do you have any plans, or concrete plans, Captain?"
Tony asked, biting down on a straw.
Because of Luke's presence, he didn't look at Captain America with antagonism.
If everything has a chance to be saved, then hand in hand and fighting together is the most important goal.
"We're going to find Thanos directly, then get the Infinity Gauntlet back from him, and kill that bastard!"
Captain America glanced at Luke, who was sitting next to him, and said in a deep voice.
"Wow, Captain Rogers sweared, did any of you hear that? Please help me record it! β
Tony screamed exaggeratedly, looking yin and yang.
No way, who called the Avengers had an operation before, Iron Man just scolded "shit", and then he was educated by Captain America.
So, Tony certainly won't let go of this opportunity.
Captain America smiled helplessly and continued: "Nebula mentioned that Thanos has a 'retirement plan', and when he completes his mission and achieves his goal, he will return to a planet called 'Garden'. β
"Banner had studied gamma rays before, and he was perhaps the expert on the most understanding of cosmic energy."
"The practice of smart people! With Earth as the center, you intend to scan the energy remnants of the Infinity Stones, and then find out the scattered traces to determine the location of Thanos! β
Tony understands everything and instantly understands what Captain America really means.
"That's right. When Thanos leaves, he uses the Space Gem to open a portal. As long as the energy is released, it will inevitably leave traceable clues. β
Captain America nodded, this was an idea that Luke and Banner had come up with after discussing it.
"So, did you find it?"
Tony's face turned solemn.
The thought of that terrible guy who wiped out half the life of the universe made the healing wound in his chest ache faintly.
"After comparing the range of energy radiation, as well as the intensity of the energy reaction, and the results of a wide range of scans, we finally determined that Thanos could be on this planet."
Captain America drew a projected picture, which was a beautiful planet.
"So what are we waiting for?"
Thor, the impatient Thor, can't wait.
Captain America pursed his lips, looked around, and asked in a deep voice, "Guys, are you confident of fighting again?" β
The superheroes nodded their heads, and there was a look of determination in their eyes.
"Alright, Avengersβregroup!"
Captain America and Iron Man looked at each other and shouted the classic slogan.
