Why Are You Looking at Me? I've Never Been Able to Snap My Fingers Since I Was a Kid

Revealing his true identity was impossible. There were many reasons why Russell concealed his identity. Initially, it was due to his male chauvinism. Supergirl was too powerful, and he was still a weakling at the time. He didn't want to be seen as someone who was clinging to someone's coattails.

Later... due to various unforeseen circumstances, the reasons piled up, making it even more crucial to keep quiet.

Because he had a good relationship with Supergirl's teammates, they became quite close.

And there's more than one!

For example, Ying Yingying, who was honest with him and regarded him as a good sister, and Duan Xinlan, who was single-mindedly a simp and never repented.

Although Russell was strict with himself and did not do anything out of line, he had nothing to fear and everyone was a pure comrade-in-arms.

I got to know them and helped them out on missions, all because of Supergirl, not because they're pretty. But words alone aren't enough; Supergirl has to believe me.

So here's the question: to be honest, would Supergirl believe that?

Too many coincidences, a ridiculous plot, and the innocent relationship between the man and woman is laughable.

Let alone Supergirl, even Russell himself wouldn't believe it. This plot is more like a scumbag who's eating what's in his bowl while eyeing what's in the pot, taking advantage of the woman's obedience to secretly seduce her best friend.

So they'll drag it out as long as they can, and if they really can't hide it anymore, they'll... deny it in every possible way, and refuse to admit it even if you beat them to death.

All this internal struggle wasn't because Russell was afraid of having his legs broken; he was upright and fearless. Besides, Supergirl loved him so much that even if something serious happened, Supergirl would definitely forgive him.

Russell did this for Duan Xinlan good, fearing that she would have her legs broken by Supergirl. Such a beautiful girl shouldn't spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair because of her recklessness.

"Jason, what are you standing there for?" Stark walked over.

"Nothing... wait, where are they?" Russell snapped out of his daze and realized that the three Supergirl were gone.

"They said the war was won, the mission was over, and they were to return to their own universes, and then they left," Stark explained.

"Oh, I see..."

Russell felt somewhat helpless. What should he do about his mission? Where was the enemy? In 2012?

"Speaking of which, you're with them, so why haven't you left yet?" Stark said, his eyes fixed on the Infinity Gauntlet, his meaning quite clear.

"I promised the Sorcerer Supreme that I would return the Time Stone for 12 years. A person cannot stand without integrity, and I cannot break my promise," Russell explained. He was always a man of principle.

"Hehe..."

Stark's lips twitched, unsure whether he believed it or not. He glanced around, saw that everyone was cleaning up the battlefield and there was no one nearby, then leaned closer to Russell and whispered, "I've tried my best to keep your disguise as a woman a secret. I wish you success in your plan."

Russell was confused, only finding Stark's smile incredibly lewd, "Stark, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."

"Come on, buddy, we're all men, I know what I'm doing."

I don't understand what you understand!

Russell took a deep breath. Now that Supergirl had completed her mission and left, he decided not to hide it anymore. "Listen, the Master Gu Yi was able to tell my true gender because she was very knowledgeable. What is your reason? Tell me the truth. Am I really that bad at acting?"

Stark shook his head dismissively and patted Russell on the shoulder. "Young man, the Master Gu Yi a magician, what does she know about women? When it comes to being knowledgeable about women, I am the real expert. You may be able to fool me with your stunning face at first, but after a few words, I will know that you are a man."

"How so?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Russell was filled with awe. As expected of Iron Man, who was modeled after Howard Hughes, his demeanor was truly extraordinary.

"Your plan to disguise yourself as a woman and infiltrate the enemy is quite good, but there are flaws in the details, and your performance is not quite up to par." Stark spoke up again when Russell was full of admiration.

"Please enlighten me!" Russell knew that Stark was making things up, but he didn't intend to explain and was prepared to continue listening.

I don't care about being stigmatized; Russell just wants to learn something!

"You're too greedy. The three of them get along well, and it's unrealistic to try and take them all down at once. If it were me, I'd take one of them first. Even a blind man could see that the long-legged girl has a crush on you. Ask her out for dinner, and you'll get what you want that very night."

"Well, actually I..."

Stark waved his hand. "You don't need to say anything more, I understand."

You understand?

"Jason, your real target is the captain of the three, right?"

"Professor Stark, although you may have misunderstood something, but... am I really that bad at acting?" This Duan Xinlan's obsequiousness, so it must be treated with caution. Originally, Russell thought that Stark changed girls every day because he could do whatever he wanted with his Money Power, but now it seems that he has real skills!

"Every time you speak, you unconsciously glance at that female captain. This subconscious habit is bad; it will make it harder for you to seduce them both at the same time. While there's still time, hurry up and get the one with the long legs. It'll be harder to seduce her later." Stark said, glancing at Russell's Infinity Gauntlet.

"Hehe, please continue." Russell handed over the Reality Stone.

"..."

Stark pursed his lips, his mouth dry after finally acquiring just one gem; Russell's price was a bit high. But it wasn't a big problem. Before marrying Pepper Potts, he was the world's top playboy; he could trade for any number of gems, even if Russell had a hundred.

"Listen, Jason, that female captain probably has someone she likes. Getting her will be both troublesome and easy."

"!"

Russell perked up his ears; nothing else mattered, this was the most important thing.

"Don't say I told you, just go and kill her boyfriend, and there won't be any problems!"

"Uh... what about the last one?"

"The one with the big breasts? She looks a bit naive, she's the easiest to fool. I have an idea for you..."

Half an hour later, Stark left with the Six Infinity Stones, leaving Russell to digest the strategy manual. He provided several Supergirl teammate profiles, each for which Stark devised different strategy plans based on their personalities, and they all sounded quite plausible.

To reiterate, Russell didn't intend to do anything; he just wanted to learn something.

Meanwhile, Stark used the Time Stone to resurrect the fallen Avengers and heal Colonel Rhodey's hemiplegic condition. He also managed to sneakily help Thor lose weight and repair his eyes.

Gamora dug Nebula out of the ruins. This Nebula had been infiltrating for 14 years and was lucky enough not to be crushed to death by Russell.

With the Avengers Compound destroyed, the group left in a spaceship and headed to Stark's home, where they created Iron Man version of the Infinity Gauntlet in the shortest possible time.

It wouldn't have been so complicated originally; Russell could have simply provided the gauntlets he had or those he had taken from Thanos. Unfortunately, the incentive wasn't enough, and even though Stark promised to teach him a couple more tricks, he refused without hesitation.

Even though he paused for a minute in the middle, no matter what, it just won't work!

The Infinity Gauntlet is successfully made, and the gems are inlaid; all that's missing is the person to the Snap.

Russell: (one-one)

"What are you looking at me for? I've never the Snap since I was a kid!"
