Traveling Back to 2008

Tony is somewhat obsessive-compulsive. After creating the new GPS locator, he redesigned the Quantum Realm Armor, not only its functions but also Armor appearance and color.

It's extremely close to what's in the movie.

In Tony's words, it's not that Pym's Armor is unusable, it's just too ugly. You can see that from the Ant-Man Armor; Pym's aesthetic sense is truly...

Before officially commencing operations, it's necessary to test whether time travel is even possible, and this task is undoubtedly best suited for Xia Yu.

However, this time Tony did not let Xia Yu act alone. Instead, he held a very grand meeting at the Avengers, which was almost entirely attended by everyone.

Although it's called a meeting for everyone, in reality, it's only when your Captain and Xia Yu and a few others reach a consensus that everyone else usually just goes through the motions.

Unlike in the movie, where half of the Earth's population was randomly wiped out, the Avengers were also largely Thanos' The Snap.

At that time, everyone was united in purpose and vowed to spare no expense.

This time, the discussion is more about whether or not we should risk our lives for people on other planets in the universe.

"Our job Avengers is to protect the Earth, but if there's a chance to save so many lives, I think it's worth a try."

These are the Captain's exact words.

"Nick Fury is a jerk, and he ended up abandoning Earth, okay, but he's still one of my friends, so I guess I should do my best."

These are Tony's exact words.

In the original Avengers, Banner was a nice guy who generally listened to everyone. Thor was Xia Yu's little brother, and Natasha and Hawkeye were even more so in this matter. Among those present, the two who had the best relationship with Nick Fury were the same.

"Alright, if no one objects, it's a unanimous vote. Time travel is no joke. Before the official operation, we need to test the feasibility of Tony's device. I'll be the test subject. Does everyone agree?"

Xia Yu made his conclusion immediately.

I want to go with you.

Natasha began speaking calmly.

"No, the Quantum Realm is different from other places. The rules there are completely different from those in the normal universe. If anything goes wrong, I'm sure I can find a way to escape. Your presence will distract me."

Xia Yu spoke earnestly and patiently.

But for some reason, Natasha wouldn't listen to Xia Yu no matter what he said.

I can protect myself.

Natasha spoke firmly, her stubborn gaze leaving Xia Yu momentarily speechless.

"How about this, I'll go with you. I have the Space Stone with me. Even if I can't teleport in the Quantum Realm, the Energy Shield will still be very useful. If anything happens, we can activate the Space Stone's Energy Shield, and I believe no one can break through it."

After Tony said that, Xia Yu had no reason to object, so he had no choice but to take the two of them with him.

Xia Yu had already talked to Janet. She had been in the Quantum Realm for thirty years, but she only dared to live in a small area. Her experience was limited to that small area.

With all the equipment ready and tested, Natasha set the date for their first Valentine's Day together.

Xia Yu has a very deep impression of that day. The Herbal medicine Group was established, and Tony and Pepper Potts gave him a Valentine's Day gift, which was the rooftop apartment in the Herbal medicine Tower.

When Xia Yu returned home that evening, Natasha had secretly slipped into Xia Yu new house to wait for him.

That day was February 14, 2008...

The three people adjusted the positioning devices on their wrists, and the equipment was fully debugged.

Before setting off, Tony emphasized this to the two men again.

"This is time travel, not ordinary travel. You two can witness your own love, and even peek at you two making love, but you can't leave anything behind, and you can't take anything with you, understand?"

Xia Yu and Natasha exchanged a glance and nodded to Tony together.

"Equipment debugging complete, Quantum Realm traversal to begin immediately, prepare, 5..."

Dr. Pym, who was standing to the side, began to count down.

Xia Yu and the other two immediately put on their helmets. Before leaving, Natasha suddenly smiled and said to Captain Hawkeye and the others beside her.

See you in a minute!

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu felt a sudden sense of unease.

Just as they were about to say something, the journey began. The flat passage on the ground opened, and the three of them instantly shrank and disappeared.

Tony's new device had automatically calibrated the coordinates, and once it started, none of the three could stop it manually. Xia Yu had no choice but to follow the two as they quickly traversed the Quantum Realm's passageway.

Natasha's words kept echoing in my mind. In the movie, it was after saying those words that Natasha sacrificed herself to retrieve the Soul Stone.

This time, it was another time travel, and the same words, perhaps due to Natasha's personality, but it cast a shadow over Xia Yu's heart.

They flew swiftly through the passage, heading towards their predetermined spacetime coordinates.

They arrived at a net-like passage and flew quickly toward one of the holes.

'Whoosh! Bang!'

The first two sounds indicate that Tony and Natasha passed directly through the hole; this should be their location, leading to February 14, 2008.

But Xia Yu seemed to be blocked by an invisible membrane.

It crashed directly into that hole.

Automatic flight stopped, and Xia Yu stared in astonishment at the hole in front of him.

Let's try again...

'Bang!'

Again...

'Bang!'

There was still an invisible barrier, completely blocking Xia Yu's chance of passing through.

Xia Yu became anxious again. Xia Yu had already felt uneasy after hearing Natasha's words, and the thought of not being able to get through it made Xia Yu even more anxious.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Xia Yu simply put away his Quantum Realm Armor.

There is air, but some indescribable energy floats in the air. However, Xia Yu himself is almost a universe, so shielding this energy is of course no problem.

Looking at the hole in front of him, Xia Yu, unwilling to give up, raised his right arm and punched the invisible membrane hard.

Subtle ripples appeared, and the entire mesh-like structure seemed to vibrate slightly, without any counter-vibration force.

It was as if a palm had been slapped on the water's surface from a distance; ripples spread outwards in all directions, thus dissolving Xia Yu's power.

"Not opening?"

Xia Yu struck again, this time imbued with the energy of the Infinity Stones, and smashed it fiercely into the hole once more.

This time the ripples were a little bigger, but they were still like mud oxen sinking into the sea, having no effect whatsoever.

Xia Yu was blocked outside the passage and failed to travel through time, while Natasha and Tony successfully returned to 2008.

But they discovered an even more terrifying fact: Xia Yu was nowhere to be found here, nor was the Herbal medicine Tower.
