Playing Around

The next day.

Chen Tian woke up surrounded by a bunch of Durex. Yes, it was the 'surprise' Tony had specially prepared for Chen Tian.

Going back to the night before, Tony, this 'party maniac,' prepared a grand party. The entire Arbitrator Tower was decorated with colorful lights, and unsuspecting people might have thought it was Christmas. After all, the Arbitrator Tower, with its colorful lights and decorations, looked just like a Christmas tree from a distance.

Adding to Tony's prank, he placed Chen Tian's photo on the top of the building and illuminated it with lights, making it look like a star on a Christmas tree.

When Chen Tian and his group returned to the Arbitrator Tower, Chen Tian's expression instantly twisted when he saw his past embarrassing moments, photoshopped onto Tony's Hello Kitty Armor, hanging in front of the 'Arbiter' at the top of the building.

The others who returned with Chen Tian were all laughing so hard their bodies were contorted, especially since there was a note written at the very bottom of the photo.

"A tribute to the great superhero Chen Tian. P. S. Chen Tian was once like an unripe little apple, shy and green."

Goku, Dante, and Saitama were lying on the ground, clutching their stomachs and laughing hysterically. Vergil covered his mouth, turned his back, and trembled.

Kiana looked at Chen Tian's photo with an incredulous expression.

Bayonetta was also holding Chen Tian's shoulder, laughing non-stop.

"Damn Tony Stark!!!" Chen Tian shouted angrily.

It flew directly from the tarmac into the building.

But when he rushed into the building, he saw Tony wearing the 'Hello Kitty' armor, standing in the lobby, his pink LED lights flashing, smiling and opening his arms to wait for him.

His embarrassment and anger vanished instantly.

Tony spread his arms wide, one holding a champagne glass, and laughed loudly, "Look who's here! Our great leader of the Arbitrators, the superhero who can defeat gods on earth!"

As soon as Tony finished speaking, the entire hall erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Natasha leaned against the bar, sitting on a high stool, clapping softly, her eyes playful; Banner smiled gently, but perhaps the smile aggravated his injuries, causing his expression to contort in pain again; Steve, having pushed himself to the limit, had more wrinkles on his face and more gray hair at his temples.

Thor, holding a large wine glass, cheered loudly.

Wanda and Pietro stood together, Pietro was whistling, but the bandages wrapped tightly around his body were clearly Wanda's doing.

Wanda clapped softly, gazing at Chen Tian with tender eyes, wishing she could throw herself into his Chen Tian right now.

The building's staff whistled enthusiastically, and some even unleashed confetti cannons that had been prepared beforehand.

"Come on, protagonist." Tony opened his arms and gave Chen Tian a firm hug, the fluffy fur of the Hello Kitty Armor tickling Chen Tian's cheeks.

He handed Chen Tian a bottle of chilled champagne, and pink LED lights spelled out "YOU ROCK" on his chest.

"You should be the one to open the Victory Champagne, kid. This bottle of Dom Pérignon is one I specially 'borrowed' from the Louvre cellar," Tony said, winking mischievously at Chen Tian.

Chen Tian looked at the champagne with a wry smile, then at Tony, and then with a 'bang,' pulled the metal wire off the champagne bottle. The golden liquid gushed out, the Utakata splashing onto the nearest Pepper's custom-made dress, causing her to scream.

Everyone laughed and raised their glasses, and the champagne tower began to flow.

"Friday! Hurry! I'm going to dance!" The 'handsome version' of Wade had already taken off his shirt at some point, revealing his muscular physique and a tight vest printed with #BeverlyDuckKing #RichWomen'sFavorite #WaistAndAbdomenGod#.

The lights in the entire hall instantly transformed into a psychedelic disco ball effect, and a gleaming steel pipe slowly rose from the center of the floor.

As the catchy intro to "Barbie Girl" began, Wade leaped onto the steel pole, clamped his legs around the metal bar, and executed a perfect inverted hook.

His dance moves were both professional and comical—every wave was precisely timed, yet he insisted on pairing it with exaggerated winks and flying kisses. At the climax of the dance, he suddenly ripped open his vest, revealing his sequined abs, which caused the ladies in the audience to scream.

The party erupted amidst Wade's flamboyant dance moves. Chen Tian was about to go for a drink with Tony's arm around his shoulder, but he was enveloped in a red glow, and his body involuntarily floated up.

Wanda gestured and pulled Tony aside, then threw herself into Chen Tian's arms and hugged him tightly.

"You haven't come to see me in so long," Wanda, nuzzling against Chen Tian's chest like a kitten.

Chen Tian ruffled Wanda's hair. "You've been quite busy lately. How's your training at Kamar-Taj going?"

Wanda extended a finger, blue demonic flames enveloping red Chaos Magic coiling around it.

"Look... at yours..."

Wanda was interrupted by Tony before she could finish her sentence, "Hey! Little witch! You can't hoard your little man! He's the star tonight!"

Wanda and Chen Tian exchanged a smile, while Tony, still suspended in mid-air, moved towards them in a breaststroke motion.

The party atmosphere was instantly ignited to its peak by Tony's 'breaststroke' move! Thor pulled Goku along, each holding a huge piece of roast meat in one hand and juice and ale in the other, competing with each other; Banner was pulled into the dance floor by Yinsen and started dancing the robot dance.

"Behold my new trick!" Pietro suddenly activated his ability, instantly giving everyone cat ears or other animal ears made of glow sticks.

Wanda playfully threatened to hit her brother, but Chen Tian grabbed her waist and spun her around, creating a heart-shaped firework of Chaos Magic in the air.

The most amazing thing was that Dante and Wade formed a "show-off duo" and danced a jazz dance back to back.

Vergil leaned quietly against the bar, drinking black tea with Natasha —oh, Natasha was drinking champagne.

Kiana's face was covered in cream, and her eyes lit up as she looked at the dessert in front of her.

Bayonetta sat next to 2B, legs crossed, a glass of red wine in her hand.

"2B, your Master is back, aren't you going to give him a hug?"

2B smiled serenely and shook her head, "After the party, Master will all belong to me."

"Hey, you little rascal, Chen Tian isn't all yours." Bayonetta lifted her chin and pointed at Chen Tian, who was dancing with Wanda in his arms.

2B was silent for a moment, then said, "At worst, we can add Wanda."

Bayonetta lifted 2B's chin. "And what about me?"

2B pursed her lips. "Add you too."

Bayonetta covered her mouth and laughed, then took 2B's hand. "Let's go, we want to join in too!"

The two women held hands, and 2B was pulled into the dance floor by Bayonetta, her body swaying stiffly.

"Friday! The ultimate Easter egg!" Tony shouted.

Suddenly, the entire exterior wall of the building transformed into a holographic projection screen, looping an AI-generated video of Chen Tian dancing "Swan Lake" while wearing Hello Kitty Armor.

Chen Tian spat out the champagne he had just taken a sip of, while everyone else collapsed on the ground laughing.

At the top of the administrative building in Sky City, Madara Uchiha with his arms crossed, gazing into the distance.

"My lord, have you forgotten me...?"

The morning sunlight streamed into the restaurant through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Chen Tian rubbed his still throbbing temples.

2B stood quietly by the dining table. "Master, your breakfast." 2B gently placed the steaming soy milk in front of Chen Tian. Chen Tian noticed that she was wearing a new white dress today, with a few small cherry blossoms embroidered on the hem.

"2B..." Chen Tian suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, gently pulling her down onto his lap.

The artificial girl's body was light (though only for Chen Tian; otherwise, a normal person couldn't handle nearly 300 pounds), and her clothes carried a faint scent of gardenias. "Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

2B's eyelashes trembled slightly. "It's what I should do," she said, her voice softer than usual.

"Did you have fun last night?" Chen Tian asked while peeling a tea egg.

2B nodded, then suddenly pulled a USB drive from his pocket as if remembering something. "Master, after you fell asleep last night, Stark asked me to give this to you. He said it was... a party commemorative video."

Chen Tian almost choked on the soy milk; he didn't even need to look to know it was full of his embarrassing past.

Just as he was about to throw the USB drive into the trash, 2B added, "I've already deleted about 80% of... uh... the pictures of you being tricked, including the backups in Stark's database in the 'Chen Tian's Precious Memories' folder. The rest are just normal group photos."

"My 2B is still the most considerate." Chen Tian couldn't help but kiss her cheek. Chen Tian laughed and returned the kiss.

"Wow, you two lovebirds, can't you go back to your room and get intimate?" Tony and Pepper walked into the restaurant hand in hand. When Tony saw this scene, he immediately covered his eyes, but he deliberately spread his fingers wide and grinned mischievously.

Chen Tian grabbed a steamed bun and tossed it to Tony. Tony caught it, took a bite, and said, "Honestly, this breakfast called a steamed bun is a million times better than my donuts."

2B then stood up from Chen Tian's lap, took a cup of coffee, and handed it to Pepper, Pepper smiled and thanked her.

Tony yelled in annoyance, "Hey, you idiot, didn't you forget a drink?"

2B blinked. "Stark, no, according to the data provided by Master, you seem to prefer soy milk."

When Tony heard 2B say "douzhi" (fermented mung bean juice), his expression scrunched up. The sour and smelly odor seemed to fill his mouth, and Tony looked like he was about to vomit.

He quickly grabbed Pepper's coffee, took a sip, and complained, "Speaking of which, the food in Dragon Country is indeed the best in the world, but there are also many strange and unusual things."

Chen Tian laughed heartily. He had previously added soy milk to Tony's coffee, and after Tony drank it, Tony never dared to touch soy milk, this "special breakfast drink," again. He wouldn't even allow it to appear in the Arbitrator Tower.

Tony saw Chen Tian laughing and angrily snatched the tea egg that Chen Tian had just peeled, stuffing it into his mouth. Chen Tian wasn't angry; he simply handed Tony the soy milk to prevent him from choking.

After Tony took the soy milk, he looked at the soy milk and Chen Tian with disbelief. Who knew if Chen Tian would add soy juice to the soy milk?

Chen Tian shrugged. "Hey, Pepper's in charge of logistics, I can't make soy milk."

Tony was relieved and took a sip; otherwise, stuffing a whole tea egg into his mouth would have been quite choking.

But after taking a sip, his eyes widened, and he suddenly sprayed the soy milk and tea egg all over the floor.

"Damn it! Wasn't there no soy milk?" Tony kept rinsing his mouth with cold water.

Chen Tian laughed heartily, "I didn't add soy milk, but I added a specialty snack from Dragon Country, houttuynia cordata. Hahaha, to keep you from finding out, I specially had 2B juice it, hahaha."

"Damn it, I feel like I ate fish that's been rotting for three days, ugh~" Tony cursed as he gagged.

Tony, gagging, pointed at Chen Tian, his finger trembling, and yelled, "You little bastard! I'm going to upload the video of you dancing ballet in your Hello Kitty Armor to YouTube!"

Chen Tian immediately jumped up from his chair and grabbed Tony's neck. "You dare! Then I'll put the video of you drunkenly hugging Wade's leg and singing 'Let It Go' on your social media!"

"Friday! Delete all related records immediately!" Tony yelled.

"Sorry, Boss, Miss 2B has already upgraded my firewall." Friday's voice even carried a hint of schadenfreude.

The two grown men wrestled like schoolchildren, Tony's pajamas were torn and wrinkled, and Chen Tian's hair was ruffled into a bird's nest.

Pepper and 2B sat to the side, elegantly sipping coffee and chatting, already quite used to this farce.

"Ahem, gentlemen," Pepper finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Don't forget the aftermath of the war, which we still need to deal with..."

"To hell with them!" Tony flipped over and pinned Chen Tian beneath him. "This kid has to pay for his crimes!"

2B suddenly spoke up, "Master, you promised yesterday that you would take Kiana and me skiing."

Chen Tian immediately stopped struggling. "Oh right! Tony, let me go, I have to go on a date!"

Tony clutched his chest dramatically. "Oh my heart! My sweetheart abandoned me for a robot!" He turned to Pepper, "Honey, we need to go on a date too!"

Pepper calmly turned a page of the newspaper. "Let's talk after you've finished signing the backlog of documents."

Tony immediately slumped against Chen Tian like a deflated balloon. "I hate all of you..."

Taking advantage of the moment, Chen Tian poured the last mouthful of soy milk into Tony's collar, and amidst Tony's stomping and jumping, he grabbed 2B and fled the scene quickly.

Tony's roar could still be heard in the hallway, "Chen Tian! I'm going to put a can of herring on your sofa!! The kind that's been pickled for twenty years!"

2B tilted her head, a half-smile on her face, and said, "Master, would you like me to prepare some preserved eggs for you?"

Chen Tian chuckled. "I do like preserved eggs, but for Tony, they're no less potent than canned herring..."

Just then, Friday's voice came from the ceiling. "Mr. Chen Tian, the boss asked me to tell you that he has hacked into your smart home system. When you come home and take a shower, you will find that the bathwater is Mephisto ghost pepper spray."

Chen Tian gritted his teeth. "Tell that old bastard that his treasured wine is about to become my foot bath water!"

2B watched the two engage in a magical battle from afar and sighed softly, "Master, we should go wake Kiana up."

Chen Tian ruffled her hair. "Alright, alright, let's go. We'll deal with that 'shameless old man' when we get back."

Meanwhile, in the restaurant, Tony was smugly showing off to Pepper: "See? This is the romance between us men!"

Pepper didn't even look up. "Do I need to remind you, does your 'romance' mean you'll have to sign a dozen more documents?"

Tony's smile froze instantly, "... I hate weekdays."

After Chen Angel the Reality Stone, Washington, D.C.. seemed to experience a magical reversal of time.

The once devastated ruins have been restored to their pre-war state. Evacuated civilians and government personnel have also returned to the city.

The only difference is that there are several times more people coming to this city than before.

They come from all over the world, and they have gathered here for one purpose only.

Trial.

In the plaza in front of the Washington Monument, Stark Industries' engineering robots are building a trial bench with astonishing efficiency.

These silver-gray robots move with precision, and nanomaterials are placed in various positions under their arrangement, then quickly take shape.

"This is even more exciting than watching IMAX!" A young man wearing a # Arbitrators # baseball cap held up a selfie stick, pointing the camera at the courtroom that was taking shape.

A dock made of Vibranium floats above the central platform, surrounded by holographic projection equipment to ensure that spectators in every corner can clearly see the details of the trial.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man wearing a Superman T-shirt suddenly shouted, "The Justice League is innocent!! The Arbitrators are guilty!"

His shouts immediately drew angry glares from those around him. Two agents appeared silently and escorted him away. In the opposite direction, several young men were distributing leaflets bearing the Injustice logo, which were quickly torn to shreds by the angry mob.

"This is the Washington District Monument Plaza. In two days, the core members of the Justice League will be tried here,"

The CNN reporter shouted into the camera, but was interrupted by cheers from the crowd before he could say anything more.

The camera panned towards the cheering crowd as the Deathwing transport aircraft flew in from the sky, the Arbitrator Sword on its belly clearly visible in the sunlight.

"This is the Arbitrators's 'Deathwing' fighter jet. We don't know if any Arbitrators are present. Let's wait and see," a CNN reporter shouted.

Deathwing hovered above the judgment seat, the cockpit opened, and Tony flew out.

Tony Stark descended from the sky in his battle armor, the gold and red gleaming dazzlingly in the sunlight.

He deliberately did a 360-degree spin in mid-air, then landed in the center of the judgment seat with a superhero-like perfect landing posture.

"Everyone in Washington District!" Tony spread his arms, the visor of his armor automatically retracting to reveal his signature mustache and grin. "Ready to witness history?"

A deafening roar erupted from the crowd, and countless cell phone cameras were pointed at him. Tony clearly enjoyed the attention; he even winked at a few female fans holding signs that read "I love Iron Man."

"Let me see..." Tony pretended to think, the armor on his suit transforming into a virtual screen. "Aha! Two days from now, at 10 a. m., we will be—" He suddenly paused, turning to the trial bench that was being erected, "Friday, what's this thing called again?"

"Judgment seat, Boss." Friday's voice was projected through the armor.

"Yes! Right here on this 'specially made judgment bench'!" Tony waved his arms exaggeratedly. "We're going to prepare a... uh... special 'fan meet-and-greet' for the Justice League!"

A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd, and a huge holographic image was suddenly projected onto the judge's bench, displaying a countdown: 47:59:23.

"Now!" Tony suddenly became serious, his armor visor closing again. "Let's have a warm-up!"

Inside Deathwing's cockpit, dozens of miniature drones flew out, forming a giant Arbitrators symbol in the air.

Then, the drones began to change formation, first spelling out "Justice Will Prevail," and then "Judgment Day Countdown."

Tony paced on the stage, produced a microphone from somewhere, and spoke into it like a rock star, "Remember, this is not revenge—" he deliberately drew out the words, "This is a fair trial! Decided by the people! Executed by the Arbitrators!"

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he snapped his the Snap: "Oh right, Chen Tian asked me to tell everyone—" Tony mimicked Chen Tian's tone, "Please be on time, because those who are late will be responsible for cleaning up the trash around the judge's bench."

The crowd erupted in laughter and applause once again. Tony nodded in satisfaction, the thrusters on his armor's feet activated, and he slowly rose into the air.

"See you in two days, Washington District!" He did a backflip in the air. "Don't forget the popcorn! This is way more exciting than watching a movie!"

With a sonic boom, Tony flew gracefully into the distance, leaving behind only the excited crowd and the gradually forming trial bench.

The CNN reporter stared in disbelief at the scene, finally managing to say to the camera, "This is absolutely... uh... the most dramatic preview of a trial in history."
