Father and Son Meet for the First Time

As expected, Tony didn't answer Xia Yu's call. Xia Yu could only go to rescue Pepper Potts. He learned that the two of them had gone to Los Angeles. Tony was spending all his time in his home lab researching how to get rid of Pepper Potts's Extremis Virus.

Actually, this kind of thing would obviously be faster at the base, because with Banner's genius, at least in terms of human bioengineering, Banner is definitely not inferior to Tony, and may even be more capable than Tony in these aspects.

There was nothing he could do; the arrogant Tony Stark was angry with Xia Yu. Xia Yu decided to take Spider-Man directly to Tony the next day.

In the movie, Spider-Man is portrayed as honest, talkative, and a child prodigy, among other things.

It wasn't until I got to know the even smaller Spider-Man in the movie that I realized little Peter Parker possessed a maturity beyond his years.

According to him, he was bitten by a spider more than four months ago. He was terrified at the time, but nothing unusual happened. Out of fear of worrying Aunt May, Peter didn't tell her when he got home.

The next day, I woke up to find that my body was completely different. First, the clarity of my vision was different. I didn't think there was anything wrong with my vision before, but after being bitten by the spider, I felt that the colors and levels of the world had changed, like watching an old movie or an IMAX screen.

There was also the increase in strength, which made Peter think he would slowly turn into a spider-like monster. After this worry passed, the boy made a summary of his abilities.

Then I seriously considered what I should do with these abilities in the future.

The final conclusion is: you must help more people; if you have the ability but don't help others, then it's your responsibility if others get hurt.

These were Spider-Man's exact words. The sincere and fervent look in his eyes when he said them to Xia Yu actually made Xia Yu feel a little ashamed. Xia Yu compared himself to Spider-Man and realized that if he had gained such superpowers when he was a child, he would definitely have shown off everywhere, or at least been the king of the school.

But Peter didn't. In fact, he was still the small, bullied one at school, which Xia Yu greatly admired.

In comparison, Spider-Man seems closer to Captain's deep love for the world. While everyone in the Avengers this trait, even Xia Yu now, no one possesses it as purely as Captain.

Pure and kind, with a scientific genius far surpassing his peers, and sensible as well, this is a child that's hard not to like.

I had a brief chat with Spider-Man, and then gave the two guests a proper tour of the Avengers Compound.

Peter Parker, who loves science, immediately became engrossed in Banner and his team's work, especially in the various alien technologies and even a proper spaceship.

"This is the coolest place I've ever seen," Peter said to Aunt May.

The next morning, Xia Yu, along with Aunt May and Spider-Man, used another portal to enter Tony's mansion.

"Hey, I wanted to ask you this yesterday, is this magic?" Peter looked up at Xia Yu and asked.

"No, this is science, Peter. Nothing can escape the laws of science. In a sense, magic is also a kind of science; it's the application of the Cosmic Energy. It's just that science uses instruments, while magic relies on the human body, or rather, the power of the human spirit."

Xia Yu calmly taught his children to believe in science.

"So, does your wormhole involve distorting space or directly cutting through it? How do you stabilize the structure of this wormhole? Is it based on Dark Energy? Or something else?" The curious child was on the verge of answering.

"Ahem! Ahem!" Xia Yu coughed to cover his embarrassment. "We can discuss this later. Now, I'll take you to see Iron Man. Didn't you say you're his fan?"

As Xia Yu spoke, he pulled Spider-Man across the portal, with Aunt May following closely behind.

"Believe me, kid, don't discuss this with him again. He doesn't even know what Dark Energy is. Also, do you know you're trespassing?" When Xia Yu and the others arrived, Tony Stark was sitting on the sofa with a cup of coffee, watching them.

"Oh, Mr. Stark, this is the first time I've seen you up close. You know what? I've been a fan of Iron Man since I was little, and I go to every Stark Industries expo. I have to say, many of your inventions are incredibly cool."

"Is this your house? Oh my goodness, it's absolutely huge! Your living room is bigger than our school's basketball court! Mr. Stark, may I take a few pictures of your house later? I love your house so much."

"I absolutely love that you can see the sea directly from here! Do you see the ocean every morning when you wake up? Is this house built right on the beach? Mr. Stark, does your house have a basement? Is it possible to see the fish swimming below?"

"I mean, like those aquariums, where one wall of the basement is glass so you can see all the fish inside. I heard every super-rich person has one of those basements. Do you have one here?"

Spider-Man's mouth went wild the moment he saw Tony. He'd already seen a bunch of alien technology at the base yesterday, with Banner there. He's very patient with kids.

However, Tony wasn't going to be polite to a stranger on the surface, and he interrupted Peter without any politeness.

"Did you bring a nobody hip-hop artist to see me? I don't recall having any record label." Tony asked Xia Yu.

Spider-Man, afraid of upsetting his idol, quietly added, "I got a little too excited, Mr. Stark. Actually, what I wanted to say was that I didn't mean to come into your house. In fact, I didn't know it was your house. Mr. Xia brought Aunt May and me here."

Aunt May pointed at Xia Yu and nodded in agreement, refusing to take the blame for trespassing.

Xia Yu rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.

"I'm still angry with you, Xia. Tell me why you brought this child and this lady to see me. Pepper went to the company; I don't have time or the will to entertain you." Tony seemed a little better; at least he was talking to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu told Tony everything about Spider-Man, including what Spider-Man had talked about with Xia Yu yesterday, such as his plans to help others in the future, and how the child had been behaving himself at school for the past few months after gaining superpowers, never easily revealing his abilities, and so on.

When Spider-Man said he had to help others, otherwise it would be his responsibility if someone got hurt, Xia Yu noticed Tony's eyes light up. Maybe that's why Iron Man treats Spider-Man like his own son.

The Iron Man that Xia Yu saw in the movies in his previous life, although he seemed unruly, had a broader vision and a greater sense of responsibility than others when it came to protecting the world and ordinary people.
