Facts have once again proved that if you can't find a suitable topic, finding someone who can be hacked together can be a good way to alleviate the embarrassment, and let the two strangers quickly get acquainted.

Ethan believes that there must be someone from S.H.I.E.L.D. watching in the vicinity, but he doesn't know if they have the means to collect the content of his conversation with Steve Rogers. Presumably, with the power of S.H.I.E.L.D., it shouldn't be a difficult task.

"How did you end up with S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Steve Rogers, although he didn't wake up for a long time, already knew that S.H.I.E.L.D. was not an institution that anyone could know. Ethan is not inside S.H.I.E.L.D., so there must be something special about him, otherwise it would be impossible to know S.H.I.E.L.D., or even Nick Fury.

"Fury wanted to invite me to join one of his plans, but I didn't agree because of my unique circumstances. ”

Steve nodded, and did not continue to ask for more details, after all, he and Ethan had just met, and many topics were not suitable for too much discussion, and reckless opening was likely to cause disgust from the other party.

After chatting casually for a while, Steve was ready to say goodbye and leave, but Ethan did not stay, but waved goodbye to the American captain.

"Hopefully I'll have a chance to see you next time. ”

"There will be a chance. ”

Maybe Ethan gave Steve an impression that was okay, Steve didn't continue to maintain the bitter look he had before, but said goodbye to Ethan with a smile.

Considering his relationship with Tony Stark, on the premise that he still runs into this world often, they will definitely see each other often in the future.

Shortly after Steve left, a guy in a suit who looked like an agent walked up to him unabashedly and handed him a phone.

"When will we be back, we can find a time together for a coffee. ”

Coulson's voice came from the earpiece, and Ethan, like many people, had a good impression of this very good agent, and the warm greeting from the earpiece made him feel cared for by his friends.

After greeting Coulson warmly, Ethan said very politely: "Give the phone to Fury, I know he's next to you." ”

"Hello, Your Excellency. ”

"Don't be so inhibited, just call me Ethan. ”

"Okay, Ethan, how long are you going to stay this time?"

Ethan turned down Fury's invitation on the grounds that he couldn't stay in the same world for too long and wasn't sure when he would be here again. It's just that I didn't expect to come here again so soon, and more importantly, this world doesn't seem to have long passed.

It felt like Ethan was casually finding a reason to deal with Fury, and although this was true, it was still a little embarrassing.

"For a few months, there are some things that Tony needs help with. ”

"Oh, what kind of thing?"

"I'm sure you'll be ...... soon. No, there should have been enough news. ”

When Tony and Ethan were researching the magic stone technology and designing the battleship, they had already begun to purchase some materials and make initial preparations for the next manufacturing.

It's impossible to hide this kind of thing from S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury might think it's Tony playing with something at first, but when Ethan showed up, he knew it had something to do with the mysterious otherworldly mage.

Especially this time, Tony acquired a lot of materials, and there are many more sensitive things in them, which makes Fury, the king of agents, very uneasy, so he directly asked Coulson to contact Ethan for some temptation, but what he didn't expect was that the other party directly broke through those hypocritical routines and directly talked to himself.

Looking at this, Fury felt that the other party was not shy about anything, maybe he could directly ask about the specific purpose of coming to this world this time?

"I wish I could talk to you in person. ”

"Absolutely. Ethan did not refuse, and if he wanted to build the battleship smoothly, he would inevitably have to make some contact with S.H.I.E.L.D. Tony Stark does have a lot of power, but the battleship is too sensitive, and if S.H.I.E.L.D. helps with it, then it will definitely save a lot of trouble.

But even so, Ethan doesn't put himself in a lower position. Fury wanted to talk to him, of course, but he wouldn't rush to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters to talk to Fury: "You know where to find me. ”

Now Fury wants to talk to Ethan, and of course he comes to himself. After Ethan said this, he hung up the phone, then put it on the table, and continued to enjoy his lemon tea and pastries.

The agent in the black suit remained silent, and did not take the phone with him, leaving without receiving the order.

Just as Ethan finished the cake and quietly basked in the sun and enjoyed a leisurely and quiet afternoon, Diana and Pepper suddenly appeared in front of him.

"What are you doing here?"

"Isn't that obvious? basking in the sun. Ethan looked at it, the two women did not bring bodyguards and drivers, and they didn't know where they came back, and they were still carrying a few shopping bags: "What did you buy?"

"Some cosmetics. ”

Diana's answer made Ethan lose interest, and the hand he had just raised was directly retracted, and then he picked up the cup and continued to drink his lemon black tea, even if there were only some half-melted ice cubes left in the cup.

Maybe they were tired of walking, and the two women also wanted to take a break here. Pepper wasn't worried about anything to deal with, and although she had become the president of Stark Group, she also had a vacation, and she had been on vacation recently.

Originally, she was going to live a romantic two-person world with Tony, but unfortunately Tony was busy tinkering with the new energy of Stark Mansion, and then because of Ethan's arrival to study new things, she had to use this vacation as a real vacation to relax and enjoy life.

"By the way, Ethan, I told Pepper before that I wanted to invite her and Tony to Paradise Island as guests......"

The subtext is, of course, to ask Ethan if he can help bring them there?Paradise Island is located in a different world, and the only way to communicate at the moment is Ethan's shuttle magic circle.

This is not a troublesome thing for Ethan, since he has locked the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Cinematic Universe, these two worlds are currently the only worlds that can travel freely, and it is not a big deal to take one or two people to visit the door, as long as the energy is enough, it is even more convenient than going from Stark Tower in New York to Stark Mansion in Malibu.

"It's not a hassle, just find a suitable time. ”

Of course, Pepper could tell that Ethan agreed, she was very curious after hearing about Paradise Island before, and at the same time she was very interested in another universe. Especially after learning that the so-called paradise island was actually created by the famous Zeus, she really wanted to see what this place was like.

She was already surprised that Diana was a demigod, but compared to seeing Ethan use magic for the first time, knowing that Ethan could freely travel through multiple cosmic planes, and knowing from Tony that the god of Thor, who of Norse mythology, appeared in New Mexico, it was nothing to have another demigod.

"Paradise Island is a great place for a holiday. For you and Tony, there won't be any disturbances there...... What does Stark Group work ...... The burden of world peace...... And so on and so forth, and so forth, and it will not affect you. ”

Of course, it can't be affected, because it is in another world, and unless Ethan deliberately leaves the interdimensional communication technology, no one can find Tony and Pepper who ran to another world.

If Esen's suggestion of something beautiful, maybe Pepper wouldn't have cared too much about it. The fact that she won't be bothered by any trivial matters is so tempting that she feels the most irritated these days is that every time she goes on a date with Tony, she is always disturbed by all kinds of messy things, and finally has to end the date early. Once or twice is fine, and of course she will be dissatisfied if she does it every time.

"A great place indeed. ”

When she began to plan her next vacation, she invited Tony to Diana's hometown as a guest, where they could spend time together without being disturbed.

After drinking the ordered drinks, the few people who had rested enough returned to the Stark Building, Tony didn't seem to be affected by Ethan's previous proposal, behaved normally, and even sprinkled dog food with Pepper, constantly stimulating the people next to him.

But just when the two of them were tired, Tony's phone suddenly rang.

Ethan didn't react at first, when he saw Tony 'skillfully' flicker Coulson on the other side of the phone, but when Coulson walked out of the elevator directly, he suddenly realized that this was the plot at the beginning of the Avengers plot.

"Huh, caught up with this plot?"

Although I met Captain America in the coffee shop under the building today, I knew that the plot of the Avengers was about to unfold, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, and Coulson, who was still smiling and greeting each other on the phone during the day, was not very good-looking at this time, and after emphasizing the urgency of the matter with Tony, he came to Ethan with a serious face.

"We need your help, Your Excellency. ”

Coulson used a very formal title, and even if he didn't know what was going on, he could realize that it must be tricky, otherwise he wouldn't be that expression.

Ethan knew why he was like this, as Loki had snatched cosmic magic and also controlled his colleague Clint Barton. That's why he's got this expression.

However, he couldn't put on the appearance of knowing everything, so he had to carefully control his expression:

"I need to know the specifics. ”
