Baxter Building, forty-three years ago, the day the hero fell.

In the constantly shaking building, the invisible woman Susan's hands were pressed tightly on her temples, the green tendons on her forehead were prominent, and her body kept shaking. Blood flowed from the nostrils and dripped onto the ground, forming bright red spots.

Her eyes were bloodshot, faint and trembling, with a palpable exhaustion.

"I can't hold it anymore, Reed!"

Every time Susan's mind erupted on a large scale, Susan's brain would ache and nosebleeds would flow out, and now using it like this is like a heartache.

A pale blue shroud of energy shrouded the tall Baxter Mansion, like a sturdy barrier that blocked every devastating punch of the giant that Loki had incarnated.

However, as time went on, the shield began to get thinner. A pale blue light flickered on the hood, and faint fluctuations surged on its surface, as if to hint at the weakness of the hood.

Each time Loki threw a heavy punch, the energy shield trembled slightly, making it appear more vulnerable.

This energy shield was woven by the telekinesis of the invisible woman Susan, who worked hard to maintain the shield, spreading the massive impact force over every square meter of shield to save the building from the threat of collapse.

But she couldn't hold on anymore, just Loki had made her emaciated, and now in the distance of the building was unstoppable two villains, one red and one gray, and if you looked closely, they were Red Tank and Rhino Man!

These two people are usually known for their strength, and now that they have joined forces with Loki, who has become hundreds of times larger, Susan is stunned for a while, and she doesn't know if she can withstand it.

Mr. Fantastic, Reed Richards, dressed in a blue bodysuit, stares intently at a machine. He stretched out his hands, which stretched for more than ten meters, and delicately shuttled between the various parts of the machine, making precise adjustments.

Despite the pain that his wife, Susan, reid seems to turn a blind eye to it, preoccupied with the work at hand.

"Hold on a little longer, Sue, this time sled will be up and running in no time." His voice was smooth and calm, without a hint of undulation, like the response of an automated system.

His attention was entirely focused on the adjustment of the machine, as if everything around him was not enough to arouse his interest.

"For every second you hold on, our chances of survival go up. Oh yes, come on. ”

Although his language was interspersed with words of encouragement, the expression of that emotion was unnatural, almost fulfilling the obligations of his husband.

Sure enough, after listening to this insincere comfort, Sue's emotions were finally difficult to suppress, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth and angrily reprimanded: "God, Johnny and Ben are dead!" Why can you still calculate so indifferently?! ”

After telling the news of her brother's and her friend's deaths, Susan's eyes began to redden, her eyes moistened, and her lips trembled slightly, trying to suppress the sadness that welled up in her heart, but she was clearly unable to do so.

But despite this, she still dutifully maintains the crumbling shield, and in addition to being a superhero, she is also a mother, even if she does everything else, she must protect her children.

Seeing Susan's sad look from the monitor, Reed sighed, "Because cold-bloodedness and calculation are the only way we can survive now, both the Avengers and the X-Men have lost contact at this time, and we can only rely on ourselves." ”

"Trust me, Sue, we still have to save the world."

After speaking, he glanced lightly at a scene on the screen that he had intercepted from Susan, which was the Las Vegas plaza surveillance.

Quicksilver collapsed in a bloody pit, Scarlet Witch impaled by metal spikes, and even Thor who had fallen from letting go of the hammer - his body was being tossed around like a toy by several wicked men, and the hammer stood alone on the ground, obscurity.

As for the rest of the falcons, the corpses of the tiger girl and the black knight were automatically ignored by him, and the importance of those people was very low and not worth seeing.

Normally he would still mourn sadly, but now reason must prevail over emotion, and those wicked people can unite with reason to kill heroes, and he may not be able to survive with reason.

In addition, he only dared to tell Susan that the Avengers were lost, not almost wiped out, and that a moderate amount of grief could prompt a person to burst into the potential of his body, but despair was not necessarily

Let's hope Susan will forgive him for the false hope he gave her someday, if they still have that day.

Hearing Reed's sigh, Susan also breathed a sigh of helplessness. Her eyes were still glistening with tears, but she had calmed down.

She understands that from a rational point of view, Reed is not wrong, and the reality is indeed cruel and unforgiving.

Still, she wondered why the damn rubber man always had this attitude that he didn't seem to care about everyone.

He always seems to leave emotions behind him, putting calculation and calmness first, as if everything can be solved with logic and scientific methods.

What can be done to solve this problem now?

"Okay." Susan lowered her eyes and used a little power to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes for herself, which made her feel better, "Then let's save the world as usual." ”

She felt the Red Tank, the Rhino Man, and Loki crashing into the shield at the same time, and let out a thunderous shout, "Enough! ”

The voice resounded through the building, like a gust of angry wind, and the emotions and determination that had accumulated in her heart exploded at this moment. At the same time, blood spilled from the corners of her eyes and ears, but she didn't care.

The telekinesis shield shone brightly, and in a moment, the three evildoers were smashed away, and the Red Tank, the rhinoceros, and Loki were all instantly repelled by her roar and the power of the shield, flying sparks and rubble.

"Mom, this girl really has some skills!"

The rhinoceros man, who was nearly a hundred meters away from the sudden increase in mental power, touched the rhinoceros horn on his holster and muttered.

He was the weakest of the three villains present, and the two bigwigs, Red Tank and Loki, were not on the same level as him.

To be honest, he had never seen such a big scene before, usually he robbed a bank in New York, he didn't have any big ambitions, and sometimes he would brag about fighting the Hulk in the bars frequented by the wicked. But he did fight, but he didn't dare to say it clearly.

"Don't be like an uninformed hillbilly, rhinoceros." The red tank urn angrily removed the large stone slab that was pressing on him, and pulled the rhinoceros man who was still in a daze up.

"As long as we can capture that magical couple alive, I believe that the reward given to us by Dr. Doom will definitely not be less!"

With that, he roared and followed Loki's steps towards the Baxter Mansion again, the ground rumbling under the footsteps of the two powerhouses.
