The Stark Paradox

It's hard to say whether Tasha thought about seeing Reed and the others one day.

She thought she had given up on this idea ten years ago, but when she saw Reid and those other friends, she found that she could not deal with this matter very calmly.

When she was still in the original world, Tasha and Reed established the Illuminati together. The initial members included her, Reed, Neptune Namo, Doctor Strange, Professor X and the alien king Black Bolt.Its role is to spot potential threats on Earth ahead of time and deal with them before they get into trouble.

But now, Tasha looked at those people sitting in a row in her building. It seemed that some people came and some people left, but they were all familiar people.

"So, welcome to the fraternity, T'Challa." Tasha watched as her little robot hand tremblingly brought a plate full of cups with an extremely dangerous sense of balance, and sat on the armchair opposite them On the table, he smiled at the black panther who was completely black and even covered his head.

Tachara used to be a member of the Avengers, a superhero, and the king of Wakanda, an African country. When they established the Illuminati, they invited him, but the Black Panther refused to join this secret brotherhood. .

The latter responded with silence as always.

"So... Where's Charles?" She glanced at the big blue fur man who was occupying a sofa on the far right, and asked him about the whereabouts of the professor who was also a member of the X-Men. "Is he alright?" Say hello to his hairline for me."

"..."

"..."

Tasha teased lightly, but didn't get any answer, which made her feel something was wrong, so she looked up to see a few people exchanged a look - which is usually not a good signal of information - and then Reed turned Going too far, said a little uncomfortably, "Actually, a lot of things have changed since you left."

"Oh." Tasha picked up a cup of coffee from the table and shrugged.

"Professor X is dead."

"..." After Reed uttered the second half of the sentence, Tasha's hands stopped, she paused, and didn't say anything.

She didn't ask Reed if it was a joke, because she knew Reed well enough to know when the scientist was telling the truth—Reed, a man with such a low EQ that he rarely cracked jokes.

"So, what are you doing looking for me? In view of this, I should also be a person who has been registered dead for a long time."

Tasha put down a sip of her unmoving coffee cup.The death of her best friend left her completely out of mood even for her favorite drink.

"We're in trouble, big trouble," continued Reid.

"Are you kidding me?" Tasha raised an eyebrow and asked, "You have gathered the smartest people in the world...but there are still problems that cannot be solved?"

"I think we all know that there are a lot of problems in the world that are hard to solve."

"For example, you and Su made outsiders never understand whether it was domestic violence or the daily routine of tying bows for fun?" Tasha asked, and then successfully made Reed, who had just picked up the cup, spit it out in one gulp.

"Okay..." Tasha silently handed a tissue to Mr. Fantastic, then shrugged, and looked around with her chin on the faces of every faceless person opposite, "It seems that you are really in trouble .”

"Jazz boy, what's the matter with that wormhole upstairs?" Squatting in the basement and watching several scientists busy, Tin Pi ran to Jazz sitting beside him in boredom, asking gossipingly.

"It seems to be Tasha's former friends." It was obvious that Jazz was not quite right now. Although Tasha told her that she was not in any danger, it was obvious that he still felt uneasy.

Just when he was feeling uneasy, the elevator to the basement stopped on this floor, and the hostess of the building came out of the elevator, and walked directly to Optimus Prime's side.

All the Autobots stopped what they were doing or gathered around their leader or looked over there.

"My friends are here looking for me because they're in trouble, big trouble." Tasha looked up at Optimus Prime's blue optical lens, succinctly describing her problem, "I have to go back with them for a while .”

"..." Optimus Prime has been the leader of the Autobots for many years, and he can easily hear the meaning behind the words. He nodded, "We will take care of things here. When will we leave?"

"Immediately." Tasha reached out to pick up the coat thrown on the laboratory chair, nodded to Optimus Prime, and turned to leave.

Jazz listened to the conversation between them and felt that his fire had sunk to the bottom.

Then he saw her stop after walking a few steps, turned his head and nodded to Sir, "Sir? You won't come with me?"

"Okay." Jazz felt that his core was alive again, and he ignored the urging of the iron sheet and nodded.

"...Bruce?" The first time Tasha stepped out of the portal, she saw the tall, thin man in a white coat standing in front of the instrument. Framed glasses form his unique personality.

Tasha pursed her lips, wondering if she should go forward, and when she blurted out the other person's name, she wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do.

Given that the last time she could remember seeing them was when she tricked his alter-ego, the big green guy, into space and launched a spaceship to send him off Earth.

She thought that their scientific friendship should have been over long ago.

Then she saw that the other party took off his glasses, wiped them, put them on again, and smiled at her as she remembered, as if nothing had changed, and nodded to her, "Tasha."

The next second, when she realized, she hugged her former lab partner tightly.

"Everything in the world has an end, all people, the sun, the galaxy, and finally, the universe itself, this is time, the simplest but inevitable truth. I accept this truth, but what I cannot accept is that the end is condemned Natural acceleration."

"The life and death of all things are at the two opposite ends of the cosmic ray. Everything begins at one end of the time line and ends at the other end. We know that there are countless multiverses. All universes start at one end of life and end at the same end. The way ends at the other end, and the problem is, now, one of the earths ends prematurely because of a big event, this unnatural time causes the dead point of the parallel universe to advance, so all universes start to die earlier, and because of that small A small contraction causes two adjacent universes to collide before the initial event. This point is on the earth. Their collision brings their universes together. Each collision will lose two universes, resulting in a parallel The dead center of the universe is brought forward again... The vicious circle accelerates the collision and destruction of more universes."

"Every time two universes collide, it will last for eight hours, and then, either the two collide and destroy together, or sacrifice an earth to pardon the two universes."

In the abandoned underground temple in the Wakanda cemetery, Tasha sat on the steps leading to the circular temple, and with others, listening to Reed standing in the middle of the temple.

Jazz wasn't here, and Tasha wasn't sure it was appropriate to include him in the Illuminati meeting, so he was left outside.

But now, Tasha regrets making such a decision.

Because Reid's topic is too heavy.

At the beginning, when Reed mentioned to her that this was the coming of the end of the world, she didn't pay much attention to it, because, God knows, how many times she had participated in preventing the coming of the end of the world as an Avenger, just dealing with Ultron and a group of The annual Star Swallowing has already made her lose interest in the word apocalypse.

But this time it's different...they're not dealing with something they can hit this time.It's not even a question of killing 100 people and saving 1 people.

She felt that this temple was too stuffy, and she wanted to go out to get some air.

"This is a very stressful thing." When Tasha stood in front of the temple door and watched the sunset outside, the black panther came behind her silently.

"...I hate Reed for dragging this into my life." Tasha's hand knocked on the railing unconsciously, which was a movement she would have every time she felt nervous.

"Even if we don't look for you, you may encounter an invasion of Earth one day, sooner or later."

"That's why you never get invited to the banquet, Tachara." Tasha turned her head and raised her eyebrows and said to him, "So, when we were founded, you refused to join, and when we discussed destroying a world , did you join?"

"When it came to the lives of my people, I had to make a choice."

"This is not a choice...it's massacre." Tasha shook her head. "We need time, but we don't have time. We need more choices, so all possible choices should be made public..."

"We can't, it will just cause more arguments and panic. We have no choice."

"Everything always has a choice."

"This is the idea of ​​the Avengers, and the captain also said so at the time."

"It is because of this that the people will support us." Tasha frowned. "We always have other choices,"

"You have?" Although the panther's face was completely covered, she could still see confusion and alertness from under his mask.

"I just have a little inspiration... I need to organize my thoughts." Tasha waved her hand and shook her head, saying.

Interrupting their conversation were Reed and Banner who came out from inside. "The Avengers are calling me back. The captain seems to have something important to discuss." Banner said, "Once, space travel, I guess?"

"Because I also received a message from the captain, he confirmed to me that I will be in New York in the next few days." Reid added.

"I'm going with you...I guess I need some things left in the mansion..." Tasha stepped forward and said to Reed "if they're still kept."

The author has something to say: This story involves comic plots, so if you don’t understand anything, just ask, and I will try to explain as much as I can.

The original members of the Illuminati were Mister Fantastic, Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Neptune, Inhuman King and Professor X.Later, some changes were experienced. The captain joined for a while, and then Professor X died and was replaced by the beast. Until this time, the captain of the earth crisis and several other disagreements were brainwashed by Dr. Strange to forget that he had joined the Illuminati. Later, Banner Found some clues and was invited by Iron Man to join the Illuminati to jointly carry out the frenzied plot of blowing up the earth...

↑The above is a brief summary of the plot of the comics. I made a slight change here to advance the time when Banner joined.
