The first thing Ben did upon returning to Earth was to visit Uncle Ben and Aunt May.

Coincidentally, Mary Jane's family and Felicia's family were also in Primus.

He explained his whereabouts to them, of course, using the excuse of working as a technical advisor at H.A.M.M.E.R..

The two girls didn't believe this at all. Felicia was alright, since she already "knew" Ben's whereabouts from Loki.

But Mary Jane didn't know.

And she couldn't ask.

She was a little sad, wondering when Ben would finally tell her everything.

Ben spent some time with them, which quickly improved Mary Jane and Felicia's mood.

Then he threw himself back into his work.

In fact, Ben is very busy right now.

There are many things at H.A.M.M.E.R.. that require his involvement. Rebuilding Manhattan is a major undertaking, and Norman Osborn's point is that since Stark and T'Challa are providing the funding, why shouldn't Primus contribute?

He initially thought Norman wanted Primus to take the initiative in building Manhattan.

However, Norman shook his head and said, "I plan to have Primus handle the infrastructure. Since Stark and T'Challa providing the money, what difference does it make who earns it?"

Upon hearing this, Ben immediately understood.

He did the math and realized that Primus's productivity was actually quite good.

Then he thought, "If that's the case, let's forget about Manhattan and just transform the whole of New York. We can also build our hovercar line there."

Originally, although Primus's cars had begun to be sold, due to outdated traffic laws and the fact that cars were not allowed to drive in the city's airspace, it was still rare to see people driving Anti-gravity Car.

Of course, not being able to afford it might also be one of the reasons...

Why don't you drive a Rolls-Royce?

Is it because you don't want to?

However, it's always good to plan ahead, and coincidentally, Ben was also planning to renovate Queens.

Since Uncle Ben and Aunt May aren't planning to move, why doesn't he just make Queens the safest and most comfortable place?

Ben is working with Norman on urban planning here.

On the other side, another person quietly shattered in Primus.

Despite the Symbiote telling him to accept his other personality, Banner's repeated outbursts of rage caused him to completely lose faith in the Hulk.

In this situation, the Symbiote doesn't have any good solutions.

Moreover, after the Chitauri Vanguard's crisis was resolved, they also wanted to leave Earth.

Norman didn't intend to force them to stay; instead, he helped them repair their spaceship and then sent them away.

Blu Banner's inner turmoil is something only he can overcome himself; Ben isn't a therapist and can't help him much.

After discussing and finalizing the city's redevelopment plan with Norman, he went to the satellite.

Place the Mind Stone on the machine.

Immediately afterwards, the Planetary Shield activated again, the difference being that this time no one came to shut it off.

"Actually, it's not necessary to activate the protective shield all the time."

"This is according to Dr. Otto, Chief Physicist at Primus."

"The New Element you discovered, combined with the giant Arc Reactor, will be able to maintain the Planetary Shield for a considerable period of time."

"We just need to activate it when necessary and replace the reactor core before the energy runs out."

He said all this because he wanted to study the raw stones.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.. has a lot of legacy information about the Cosmic Cube, but we know nothing about the Infinity Stones."

Otto said, a hint of anticipation on his face.

I disagree.

Banner shook his head and said, "These raw stones are full of Gamma Energy; studying Gamma Energy is too dangerous."

The Hulk serves as a cautionary tale.

Blu Banner doesn't want to see another monster.

"What if the future of humanity lies within this?" Otto disagreed with Banner's view.

He felt that if something could be learned from the gemstones, it might benefit the future of humanity.

If there's even a possibility, then we should try it.

Banner insists that the Infinity Stone are too dangerous, but Otto knows about Banner's past.

"Excuse my bluntness, Doctor Banner, but the more significant reason for the accident in your experiment was your own carelessness," he said bluntly.

That's the truth.

Before becoming the Hulk, Blu Banner was a genius among geniuses, and naturally, he was also arrogant.

He was too confident in himself, which led to this tragedy.

Otto continued, "Fire is dangerous, but if humanity hadn't learned to use it, we'd still be eating raw meat and drinking blood!"

The two of them have conflicting accounts.

Listening to their argument, Connors shrank back, thinking to himself that it was fortunate he focused on biology, and that a single Variable Device was enough for them to study extensively.

On the contrary, after Ben heard that Otto wanted to study the Mind Stone, he thought of two people who had awakened their powers because of the Mind Stone.

Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.

In the movie, the two siblings actively participated in Hydra's research project and gained Superpowers under the power of the Mind Stone.

However, according to the supplement Vision Wanda, it is clarified that Wanda was already Witch before she came into contact with the Mind Stone.

The power of the gemstone merely triggered her energy prematurely, but it was still far from her true power.

"If I remember correctly, Wanda and Pietro should still be in Sokovia at this time, right?"

Ben thought to himself.

There are no Mutants in this universe, so it's highly likely that Wanda and Quicksilver's life trajectories will overlap with the cinematic universe.

Now that Hydra has been destroyed, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the siblings' power will gradually increase, but whether they can become the Scarlet Witch is another matter.

Ben was still somewhat curious about the Scarlet Witch, who possessed Chaos Magic.

In many universes, Scarlet Witch serves as an anchor figure, meaning someone who is crucial to maintaining the universe.

Just like the old Wolverine who died in Deadpool 3.

Within a few thousand years of his death, the universe and timeline will cease to exist.

If Wanda in this universe hadn't become the Scarlet Witch, perhaps a similar outcome would have occurred.

It was one thing not to have thought of them before, but now that he had thought of the two of them, Ben planned to recruit the brother and sister into the Galactic Plumbers.

On the one hand, it ensures that Wanda can become the Scarlet Witch; on the other hand, it also expands the membership of the Galactic Plumbers.

With this in mind, Ben immediately asked Eunice to help him find information about Wanda and Pietro.

Eunice quickly found her target.

"It has been confirmed that both individuals are in Sokovia, an Eastern European country."

"Book me a plane ticket to Sokovia."

"Yes, sir."

The next day, Ben met the wary brother and sister in Sokovia.
