It's getting closer...

It's very close...

With the gates of Tony Stark's villa within reach, the Pietro siblings' breathing became slightly rapid with tension.

The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. patrolling and guarding the villa were all swiftly pierced through by elite Chitauri soldiers who appeared out of nowhere.

Crimson blood smeared on the snow-white walls. Pietro and Wanda exchanged a glance, their eyes resolute as they pushed open the blood-stained door.

The entire view of the enormous villa was revealed.

"Excuse me, may I ask who you two are...?"

Carrying a watering can that had just been used to water the flowers, Pepper, Tony Stark's personal secretary and the current second-in- Potts at Stark Industries, stared in surprise at the two strangers who had just entered the room.

"The avenger."

Pietro raised the weapon in his hand, which he had brought from the Dark Order armory.

The black muzzle of the gun was aimed at Pepper Potts, whose pupils were wide with shock, and a surge of blue energy bullet was fired in an instant!

Call out!

Bang!

The blinding light made Pepper Potts instinctively close his eyes, and the kettle, which still had half a water supply left, fell to the ground, splashing water everywhere.

Do you know what it means legally to break into someone's home without permission?

"Oh, right, perhaps we could also add a charge of intentional homicide to your list of crimes."

Iron Man Tony Stark descends from the sky, his armor, despite numerous modifications, still sporting a flamboyant red hue.

"Tony! Watch out!"

Before Pepper Pepper could finish speaking, Tony Stark, who had just struck a cool pose for a second, felt as if something had grabbed his feet, and he was slammed into the villa wall!

Bang!!!

Amidst flying debris and smoke, Tony Stark, practically embedded in the wall, shook his head, trying to alleviate the dizziness and clear his head.

"Another superpowered person?"

"Damn it, I'm going to get Congress to pass a bill regulating superpowered individuals sooner or later."

Cursing and swearing, Tony Stark pulled himself out of the wall and easily fixed his gaze on the woman whose arms were shrouded in a crimson mist.

J.A.R.V.I.S.?

"Did I know her before?" Upon seeing Wanda's stunning figure, Tony Stark immediately thought of his past romantic entanglements.

As for Pietro next to Wanda?

Tony Stark automatically ignored the fact that it was a man.

"No, the facial recognition system shows that you have not seen this lady before today."

Honest J.A.R.V.I.S. told the truth.

"So, is it possible to analyze her superpowers?" Tony Stark's expression turned serious.

"We're analyzing it, but the results won't be available so soon, Sir."

"Hey Tony! What happened?!"

Bruce Banner, who had rushed out of the laboratory and finally caught up with the train, was panting heavily, his arms resting on his knees.

When he looked up again, he found that everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

"Bruce Banner? The Hulk?" Pietro, who was holding a gun, looked a little grim.

He had no idea Hulk was there beforehand.

Wasn't the Hulk supposed to be uncontrollable?

"Leave him to me! You go and kill Tony Stark!" Wanda volunteered, her arms swinging, and the dissipating crimson mist instantly transformed into a giant hand that gripped the panting Bruce Banner tightly.

Strike first and you'll have the upper hand; strike later and you'll suffer the consequences.

Wanda, who had been working within Hydra for so long, knew this very well.

"Understood." With a quick, boxing-like step, Pietro vanished from everyone's sight before he finished speaking.

Bang!

While the Artificial Intelligence J.A.R.V.I.S. was still calculating the location of the suddenly vanished Quicksilver, Tony Stark felt as if he had been hit in the waist by a heavy truck, and was sent flying, smashing through three entire flowerbeds...

"No! Tony!"

Pepper Pepper, who was watching from the sidelines, looked extremely worried.

"Roar!!!"

After a long period of rest, Bruce Banner, who was finally able to communicate with the Hulk again, gradually turned green. His bulging physique and muscles made it increasingly difficult for Scarlet Witch Wanda was using energy to trap him.

Is speed the only superpower?

Tony Stark, clutching his back and with flowers and grass on his head, stood up from the ruins, wincing in pain.

Artificial Intelligence 'J.A.R.V.I.S. route analysis was ultimately a step too slow.

"J.A.R.V.I.S., if reality finally has a reference point, will your analysis speed be able to keep up?"

"You can give it a try, Sir." J.A.R.V.I.S.'s voice remained calm.

"Throw your makeup mirror over here, Pepper!" Tony Stark shouted, only to be beaten up by Pietro again.

His body couldn't keep up with that extreme speed.

"What?" Pepper Pepper, who was still worried that Tony had been getting beaten up and never had a chance to fight back, was stunned.

"Hurry up! Now!"

Before he could explain anything, Tony was beaten up again.

If the new Iron Man Armor hadn't been made even stronger, he probably would have had his internal organs displaced by now.

"I see!"

Seeing that Tony's anxious tone seemed genuine, Pepper Potts rushed into the villa's living room and hurriedly rummaged through her bag for her personal makeup mirror.

"Tony! Catch!"

Pepper Potts threw the mirror in his hand with all his might in the direction Tony was.

"J.A.R.V.I.S., get ready."

Tony Stark, who had fallen to the ground once again, did not get up. Instead, he shattered the makeup mirror with a laser beam when it was only a step away from him!

Bang!

The small makeup mirror shattered into countless tiny fragments in an instant, exploding around Tony Stark along with the foundation!

Call out!

A beam of ultraviolet light shot from Tony Stark's palm and struck the fragments of the makeup mirror.

Reflect, and reflect again.

The light reflections between countless mirrors were captured perfectly by the Artificial Intelligence J.A.R.V.I.S..

Meanwhile, Pietro, who had entered this field of reflected light, was also thoroughly figured out by J.A.R.V.I.S..

Because his feet, his body, blocked the reflection of light.

J.A.R.V.I.S. couldn't analyze Pietro's speed, but it could quickly determine which direction the light reflection was causing a large-scale problem.

Wherever there's a problem, that's where Pietro is.

"Found you, you blond bunny." Tony Stark, lying on the ground, smiled confidently and fired a palm-sized cannon directly at the direction of the abnormal light reflection!

Boom!!!

"What?!!"

Pietro was caught completely off guard and was blown away!

"Elder brother?!"

Now, it's Wanda's turn to worry, as she's been keeping the Hulk under control.

"How could this be...?" Pietro, whose clothes were charred black from the excessive speed and the fact that he couldn't brake in time, struggled to get up from the ground.

"I think it would be difficult for me to explain this to you, given your intelligence."

"Perhaps you can understand it this way."

"Because I am Tony Stark."

"Because I am Iron Man."

A disheveled Tony Stark staggered to his feet, raised his right hand, and aimed the cannon at Pietro was still struggling on the ground.
