I used to believe in science

Antoinette was tasting wine on a planet in Sector 286 when he heard the long-lost call.

She's partial to the local pink-purple sparkling drink, which tastes a bit like beer.However, the bar music here is a bit less appreciated.

It's not that she can't understand, it's just that the frequency of the pitch is far from that of humans, which tortures human ears.

Antoinette's experience as a human being for more than 20 years made her preconceived of this kind of audio, so she tried her best to filter out the sounds that sounded smashed out of her ears, leaving only the conversations of the people next to her.

She was at the table with an alien with a hippopotamus head, wearing a black and yellow uniform, with a yellow ring on one of the four fingers of his right hand.

At this moment, he was probably drunk, and he was holding her hand and chattering about the past between their boss and the current leader of the Green Lantern Corps next door.

In fact, it was the first time Antoinette and the other party met, but she recognized the ring belonging to the Huang Ding Legion at first sight.

This is her latest new hobby, walking around and listening to cosmic gossip to pass the time.There was never a shortage of news in the universe, and it would probably last a while before she found her next diversion.

But now, she was stumped by the constant calls.

So she sat up straight from her prone position on the table and listened.The frequency that no one else could hear kept hitting her eardrums, reminding her that after all this time, someone still needed her.

Moreover, the voice sounded familiar and anxious, and it was more urgent than the voice to go deep into her heart, trying to recall her nature of being helpful when she was a human being.

"Man, I really want to finish listening, but I have something else to do." Finally, Antoinette stood up, patted the shoulders of the people around him, and said without regret.

She decided to check the situation, and it didn't take even a second from making this decision to returning to the middle of the earth, and those distances that required tens or hundreds of light years did not exist in her eyes.In the blink of an eye she was in New York.

She followed the sound source to her destination. In a tall building in the center of downtown New York, Antoinette took a second to glance from the outside before entering.The capital A hanging over the top of the building there looks eerily familiar.And when she walked into the dark and silent building, Antoinette realized where it was.

"Since there is an A on the top of the building instead of a J, so this is the new base of the Avengers? A building?" Antoinette looked at Batman and Ant-Man standing in front of him, and raised an eyebrow.

They are now in a laboratory, which is separated by visible glass, surrounded by sophisticated cutting-edge technology, and on the laboratory table closest to them, the person wrapped in black and gold color armor is her closest. familiar.

She walked around Pym, walked to the test bench, and looked at Iron Man.The mask had been removed, revealing Tony's face, bruises from staying up all night around his eye circles, and the tight corners of his eyes proved that he was definitely not in an easy sleep.

While checking Tony, Antoinette asked casually, "What happened to the old house?"

"Uh..." Pym hesitated for a moment, and it was very difficult to answer this question. He didn't feel like telling the other party when they met, that the old house of the Stark family, which carried the memories of at least three generations, was now in ruins. .

"This is a very complicated story." Fortunately, Batman saved him. He stepped forward to take over the conversation and explained Tony's current situation to Antoinette. "Extremis is infected with Skrull's virus and needs deep repair."

"Skrull." Antoinette raised her head when she heard the term. She frowned and looked at Batman, as if expressing dissatisfaction with him. "I told you to pay attention to this alien race."

"Looks like you forgot to tell us they're a bunch of doppelgangers." Batman snapped back without flinching, "and have the power to [-] percent replicate other people's abilities."

"..." Antoinette fell into silence. She really didn't mention this, but at this time a red figure walked around the entire laboratory and stopped among them.

The Flash stopped and faced Batman "Bat, do you have any good news."

"We're dealing with it. How's the situation outside?" Batman quickly replied and asked. Skrull cut off all the satellites while invading. Now they have lost their means of communication and can only rely on the speed of the Flash to deliver messages manually. .

"Do you want to know how much destructive power two supermen can cause? Just go to the Capitol and see." The Flash made a gesture, thumbs up and pointed in the direction of the Capitol.

"How far has Skrull invaded?" Antoinette frowned and listened.

"It's not optimistic." Batman replied to her, "When Skrull invaded, they had already made sufficient preparations. They replaced a large number of superhumans and copied the abilities of most of the remaining combat forces, including Superman and Goddess. "

"Oh, I'm glad that your plan is progressing." Flash noticed her presence, raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at her, and then turned to look at Batman. "I thought she was omniscient."

"Omniscient and omnipotent is only used to describe one existence, and that is my dad."

"..."

"..."

"..." Everyone was silent for a while, and they looked at Antoinette together.

"My father that you usually call God." Antoinette rolled his eyes, no matter how conceited the Stark family would think that Howard was omniscient, he waved his hand and passed this unnutritious topic "You guys Where is it now? I can..." She can find Skrull's queen and deal a fatal blow...

"We're restoring communication. Tony designed an instrument that can crack the Skrull's camouflage before, but he's only half done. We need to finish it."

"..." For a moment, Antoinette felt that she had heard wrongly, she blinked her eyes, and met Batman's gaze, and then she realized that she was not mistaken, so she confirmed in an unbelievable tone, "You put I called back just so I could fix a piece of machinery?"

"Yes." Batman nodded firmly again, as if it was justified, "The Fantastic Four and the X-Men are too busy to take care of themselves, Ant-Man is not the best candidate in this field, and you are the easiest person to keep up with Tony's ideas .”

At this moment, Antoinette couldn't hold back, she laughed, rubbed her eyes with her hands, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to him, "This may be the most interesting idea I have heard in recent years .”

But she stopped short, because the others didn't follow suit, and she looked at the person who said it first: "You mean it."

"I'm."

"You can ask me to do more and better, I'm already here."

"This is an interstellar war, between humans and Skrulls... I hope this will eventually be announced to other planets as a result of humans' victory." Batman answered her, and reached out to stop Lightning who wanted to raise a different opinion , looking at her intently "I hope you can participate as a human being."

"..." Antoinette raised her eyebrows and looked at him like a monster, but after a few seconds, she turned her head, pulled out a chair and sat down, waved away the screen that was in standby mode, and looked at the After half of the calculation, he quickly got on with his train of thought.

After Batman confirmed that she had entered the state, he quietly exited, and he had to repair at least one satellite.

When Tony opened his eyes, he still felt that his eyelids were very heavy, as if he had fought a big battle after he passed out, and his whole body was unwell.

He first felt that he was lying on a smooth and cold surface, and when he touched it with his hand, he knew that it was a laboratory table.Then he opened his eyes and found that the darkness in front of his eyes was due to a piece of clothing draped over her head.

So he reached out and carefully pulled off his clothes, and saw a patch of white fluorescent lights above his head.When I sat up, I felt dizzy because of the haste.A hand pressed on his chest and pushed him back to lie down, "Slow down."

The voice was unusually familiar, and it touched a string in Tony's heart, so he quickly turned his head to find the source of the sound to make sure that he didn't hear it wrong.

Antoinette was sitting next to him, crossing the legs of the chair and sitting on the chair in a difficult way of balancing. When he met his eyes, he smiled, "Long time no see."

"Niti." Tony sat up again.

This time Antoinette didn't stop him, but just looked him up and down, "Is the desperate situation okay?"

"Most of the viruses have been dealt with." Tony ignored the interface that had been reporting errors before his eyes, but the headache it caused couldn't be ignored.

"It seems that some things will not change." Antoinette looked at the corners of his tensed eyes, and easily saw through his discomfort. She flattened the chair and stood up, stretching her hand to his forehead and nodding for a while. The coolness eliminated the headache through the brain.

And it strikes Tony "Can you still fix this?"

"No, Extremis is something I don't understand, I just removed your headache symptoms." Antoinette answered him, and sat down beside him "By the way, Skrull has occupied the earth for 100 years .”

"..." Tony paused, turned to look at her, and smiled dryly, "It's not fun, and it didn't scare me."

"...There's no harm in trying." Antoinette shrugged.

There was a silence after that, Tony rubbed the bridge of his nose, and connected to the network by the way, he found that he had been in a coma for a whole day, during which time they used the device he imagined to test all the Skrulls and killed them The queen successfully stopped the invasion.

But the reconstruction work has only just begun, and a large part of the satellites in the sky came from the combination of Wayne and Stark Enterprises, and he has to move to fix them.

But before he jumped off the bench, he didn't forget to ask, "When are you going to leave?"

"Do you want me to leave?"

"Of course not!" Tony jerked his head away, denying this in an unbelievably high voice.Then he sighed again and languished.

To his surprise, Antoinette's reaction to this was that he turned his head, "Then I won't leave for the time being."

"What?" After being surprised, Tony calmed down. It only took him a moment to connect the front and back. "What did Bruce tell you?" This is definitely not Antoinette's own decision. If she chooses to stay Next, then she will not leave from the beginning.

"Bruce, make a deal with me."

"Don't go." When the matter was over, Bruce returned to the laboratory in the Avengers Building for the first time.Antoinette hadn't left yet, she was sitting in front of the computer playing Tetris bored.This is the first sentence that Batman Travels and Dust rushes to say and raises his eyebrows.

"You are fine too." Antoinette answered him.

And Bruce walked to her side in three steps, put his hands on her shoulders and tightened, "Come back."

"I can't." Antoinette did not pretend to understand at all, and replied directly, "The last time I was on Earth, I knew that many people could not accept me."

"That's not going to be a problem, if anyone has a problem, I'll fix it."

"..." Faced with such an answer, Antoinette raised her head, and she waved Bruce's hand away from her body, "You can't accept it yourself, you are still afraid of the phoenix, Bruce, I don't understand why you still want to So reluctantly? What do you want?"

"You." Batman's answer is still simple and firm, it looks like him, and it is not at all impulsive.

He has indeed thought about it many times. During the years when Antoinette left, he has thought about it for a long time, and he has become more and more aware of how much he misses her.The phoenix is ​​certainly a terrifying force, but that's Antoinette.Their world is already filled with too many superhumans, unnatural creatures... They have no reason to reject a person who originally came from the earth.

"What do you want to use to get other people to accept me?"

"I."

"It's very risky."

"I know." But one has to try once in life, and he has been cautious in his words and deeds for too long in his life.Maybe it's time to take a risk.

Antoinette tilted her head and looked at him for a while, as if she had seen through his mask and directly saw the thoughts in his heart, and then she laughed, "I think I can accept it."

"What deal did you make?"

Antoinette came back to his senses, Tony still looked at her suspiciously, waiting for her to answer his questions.

So she smiled and replied, "Okay."
