Adventure Begins Anew

T'Challa froze.

"Yes."

General Okoye's tone was certain:

"More precisely, it's gone."

Just then, Bucky Barnes and Falcon Sam Wilson passed by together.

T'Challa was about to explain,

when sharp-eyed Rocket Raccoon spotted Bucky,

his eyes lighting up.

He dragged a long object wrapped in rags out from behind him,

then tossed it at Bucky's feet with a clatter.

"Hey! Winter Soldier!

Take a look at the good stuff I found for you!

It's definitely an 'old friend' you're 'most familiar' with!"

Rocket bared his teeth smugly.

Bucky looked down,

and the rags fell away,

revealing a cold, heavy metal arm covered in battle scars

—it was the very arm he had once used as the Winter Soldier!

Bucky looked at the arm on the ground, which carried countless painful memories,

then unconsciously touched his own natural arm, now restored by Su Ming's divine power.

His expression changed several times,

before he finally twitched his lips and forced out a sentence to Rocket:

"I... thank you!"

T'Challa looked thoughtfully at the metal arm on the ground.

General Okoye calmly added from beside him:

"Case closed."

Elsewhere,

Captain Marvel Carol Danvers approached with her arm linked through Nick Fury's.

Fury swept his single eye over the lively scene and suddenly asked:

"Carol, my cat... is it doing okay?"

Carol rolled her eyes at him irritably:

"I really don't know how you managed to dump all those little nuisances on Su Ming.

Fortunately, his status is high enough now,

and money isn't an issue for him.

I heard he specifically opened up a small dimension as a pet paradise,

and stockpiled enough canned cat food and all kinds of cosmic snacks to last hundreds of years."

At last,

under the expectant gazes of every guest,

warm music with a slightly mischievous flair
