Storage Bracelet

After talking with Black Panther and his son, Xia Yu took them on a ride in the spaceship.

It didn't fly into space; it just circled the Earth once.

Anyway, it seems that this spaceship has never left the atmosphere since it came back. It's either been kept at the base for research or used as an airplane.

This caused Tony to complain a lot, saying that they should have gone to outer space to eat on Christmas Eve, eating while looking at Earth, how amazing that would be.

He kept saying he wanted to bring Peter Parker to see it sometime.

They really are a father and son destined for each other.

After returning to the base and staying there for a few days, T'Challa contacted Xia Yu. Wakanda was ready, so Xia Yu opened a portal.

In addition to the 500 kilograms of Vibranium, a team of five scientists also arrived, led by Shuri, which delighted Xia Yu.

After Shuri a few words with Tony, he was also amazed and immediately set about extensively modifying the base's workshop. As a result, Xia Yu became a tool for opening portals for the next few days.

He also worked part-time as a mover, constantly moving various equipment between Shuri's studio and base.

The addition of Shuri's team led to many of Tony's previous designs needing to be revised.

Natasha and Hawkeye were so bored that they went to Europe to help Captain. At least there are some terrorists there, and they can take on Hydra's outer bases and such.

Instead, Xia Yu and Thor were ordered by the Science Team not to leave.

Because from time to time, these two physically strong individuals would act as test subjects, such as to test the power of weapons, etc.

Surrounded by a group of mad scientists and experimental equipment every day, Xia Yu made a very surprising discovery.

Previously, when he used the energy of the Tesseract to directly increase the space for himself and Natasha, he discovered that his ring had increased to five thousand Cosmic Cube meters.

That can't be increased; Natasha's is less than 1,500 Cosmic Cube, which, in a systematic explanation, is a problem with the materials.

So, Xia Yu, unwilling to give up, tried to infuse other materials with spatial energy to see if he could turn them into storage equipment. However, after trying most of the materials on Earth, Xia Yu gave up.

However, because he had been opening portals in the lab every day recently, Xia Yu suddenly discovered that the remains of the Asgard Destroyer had absorbed a little bit of energy and created a small space of a few centimeters inside.

This made Xia Yu ecstatic.

However, Xia Yu didn't tell Shuri and the others about this; instead, he secretly told Tony.

After a few private experiments with Tony, they discovered that one gram of that mysterious metal could create a space of about 9.5 Cosmic Cube.

So Tony and Xia Yu secretly crafted twenty bracelets, each weighing about 50 grams, with Xia Yu maximizing the space in each one.

In Tony's words, it's about the saturation level of a metal's energy absorption.

Besides Xia Yu and Natasha, Avengers member received a Storage Bracelet, and Tony thoughtfully designed a pattern for each one.

For example, Captain's bracelet features a shield, Thor's has a hammer, and so on. (This design is based on the scene at the end of Avengers 1 where Tony and Pepper Potts redesigned Stark Tower. Tony designed bedrooms for everyone, with individual icons next to them. If you're interested, pause the movie and take a look.)

In addition to the Avengers' combat personnel, Tony also made one for Spider-Man and Rhodey, but he hasn't given them to them yet.

To Xia Yu's greatest surprise, Tony actually made one for Bucky as well.

Although Tony didn't say anything, when he gave Xia Yu the bracelet, he added an extra arm pattern. Xia Yu smiled but didn't say anything.

All the gifts that needed to be sent out have been sent, with a few kept as spares.

Xia Yu took on the role of a courier once again.

London, Peggy's estate.

When Xia Yu arrived, a group of people were tracking Baron Strucker, one of the leaders of Hydra. It was said that their base somewhere in Europe had been discovered, but when the Captain and his team arrived, the base was already empty.

He was a step too late, but with the Avengers' operations in Europe increasing and top intelligence agents like Peggy Carter and Nick Fury overseeing things, it's believed that Strucker won't be able to hide for much longer.

Xia Yu couldn't possibly help find him ahead of time; he was still waiting for Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver's abilities to fully mature.

"I'm here to deliver a package; there are gifts for you all," Xia Yu said, taking out a box.

The brand-new Storage Ring delighted everyone. Natasha only complained that she didn't receive a gift, but Peggy genuinely envied the bracelet.

However, she also knew the preciousness of that metal. Building a spaceship required careful budgeting, and it was already quite good that a portion could be used to make bracelets, since the combat personnel needed more.

Although there were still quite a few left, Xia Yu could only say that if there were any left after the spaceship was completed, he would consider giving them to Peggy.

The Captain, Hawkeye, and Falcon each took one, and there was one left in the box.

Looking at the bracelet with an arm pattern printed on it, the Captain looked at Xia Yu with emotion.

"Don't look at me. I was only in charge of creating the space. Tony did everything else, so don't look at me like that."

"Also, Tony, let me tell you, Wakanda's Vibranium prosthetics are excellent, and Shuri is an expert in Vibranium arm fitting. If you ever lose an arm or leg in the future, you can go to Shuri."

These were Tony's exact words, and Xia Yu knew they were meant for the Captain.

Sure enough, the Captain was moved again after hearing this. "Take me to the base. I must Tony properly on Bucky's behalf."

"You should probably forget about it, Captain. Bringing him up in front of Tony will only make him feel worse. It's better to wait for another opportunity. If you go thank him now, he'll definitely tell you it's to repay a favor from Pepper Potts."

Xia Yu understood the Captain's excitement, because it was impossible to stay in Europe for long. After things were over here, they would definitely have to return to the base. What would happen to Bucky then?

Tony gave Captain a signal that he was trying to accept Bucky, which touched Captain deeply.

"Alright, stop looking so mournful. You're Captain America, Peggy. Captain's being sentimental over another man again. Aren't you jealous? This is London, where nine out of ten men are involved in prostitution."

After finishing his delivery, Xia Yu went to find Nick Fury again, as he had a hypothesis that needed to be confirmed.
