Barton took Hawkeye and Black Widow to a safe house near his home. From the outside, this safe house was just a small cabin. If someone who didn't know saw it, they probably thought it was a place where rangers rested.
But Hawkeye and the others were not surprised. After all, in their world, after S.H.I.E.L.D. lost the support of the government, their expenses became very tight.
Even First-Generation Helicarrier, which usually flies in the sky, has been parked in the warehouse gathering ashes. I was reluctant to let it fly to the sky again. I only took it out and used it once when I was in Sokovia Incident.
Hawkeye and Black Widow were arranged to sit here. Barton said to them, "You may have to wait a while to see him. I suggest you sit on that chair and wait slowly."
"Thank you."
"No, I'm just helping myself."
After Barton finished speaking, he drove away directly.
Watching Barton leave, Hawkeye simply sat on the small chair beside the table and said to Black Widow:
"How do you think Fury will appear in front of us later?"
"Wait a minute."
Black Widow seemed to have thought of something. He searched around the room and made sure there were no secret doors or secret rooms before sitting opposite Hawkeye.
"Okay, I can confirm that he is not here now, so let me think about it, he will come over in Quinjet later."
Hawkeye nodded, smiled and joked, "I think he will pop up directly from the ground or tree trunks outside."
"Don't confuse me with those monkeys, you reminded me of some bad memories."
Fury's voice came out from the table between them, and then the entire floor began to drop, revealing the metal wall below.
Hawkeye and Black Widow looked at each other, "I didn't expect you to be able to build such an underground base? You are not that rich in our world."
"It seems that in your world, I still have some things to worry about, so I am still a little restrained."
"What are you worried about?" Hawkeye didn't know what Fury would say. In the five years since Fury disappeared, the earth could be said to have enjoyed unprecedented peace, and there were no enemies worth mentioning.
What is Fury worried about?
Hawkeye didn't know the answer to this question, and Black Widow didn't know either, but she changed her angle and asked in turn, "What about you now? Do you have no enemies to worry about?"
"Now that the earth has a powerful lord, you no longer need to worry about the appearance of those guys. Well, you will be arriving soon. See you at the end of the corridor later."
Fury didn't say much, but the elevator also stopped at this time, and a door opened in front of Hawkeye and Black Widow.
Through this door, there is a long corridor, passing through a series of functional rooms such as the weapons storage room and the lounge. Hawkeye They also came to the end of the corridor.
"Let's go and see an old friend I haven't seen in five years."
Black Widow pushed the door open and walked in, followed by Hawkeye.
The familiar Egghead was sitting behind the table. Fury looked at these two unfamiliar yet familiar subordinates, and also opened his arms and asked, "Are you satisfied with the way I came out?"
Black Widow smiled and said, "Quite satisfied, you are still so unexpected."
Fury smiled and said, "So you really have no place to live? I don't think my two capable men will even be able to find a room to live in."
Black Widow stretched easily and said slowly, "I just want to take this opportunity to see an old friend I haven't seen for a long time."
Old friend? Fury looked at Natasha's actions. If it was their Natasha, he would never make such an unsuspecting action in front of anyone.
Thinking of what Old Captain America once told him, Fury smiled.
"It seems that you have lived a completely different life in the five years since I disappeared. Do you like that kind of life?"
Black Widow shook his head, "I don't like to sit in the office all day and deal with various documents, but if I don't do that, what can I do?"
Hawkeye also nodded. After his family was taken away by a the Snap, he also fell into confusion for a time. Not wanting to realize that feeling, he numbed himself with fighting again and again, and there was no other way.
"How do you know you disappeared for five years? Did Tony tell you?"
Fury shook his head, "Your Tony just showed up and was persuaded to go back by Lu Qi. I had no chance to understand the information. And your information was told to me by another visitor from Parallel World."
"Another one?"
Hawkeye is a little confused. Logically speaking, aren't there only three groups of them?
"Long time no see, Hawkeye, Black Widow."
An old voice came from one side. Hawkeye and Black Widow looked over and found an old man sitting beside them. However, this old man did not show any breath and blended in with the surrounding environment.
This feeling of perfect fusion made Hawkeye, who has a keen sense of perception, unable to detect his existence at the beginning.
"You are?"
Hawkeye searched through his memory and couldn't remember that he had ever seen this person.
Black Widow frowned and asked, "Steve?"
"Are you Captain America?" Hearing Black Widow's question, Hawkeye also said in disbelief.
"Didn't you go back with Tony and the others? Why are you here and still getting so old?"
For a moment, Hawkeye became wary of Fury, thinking that he had done something to Captain America.
Fury looked at Hawkeye's guarded eyes and calmly said to Old Captain America, "Why don't you explain it?"
"Well, now I quite like telling stories."
Old Captain America called Hawkeye and Black Widow to sit down and told them about the events he had experienced.
"You are saying that Thanos went to our world with the help of Nebula's device? Impossible. Didn't Lu Qi say that Nebula was persuaded to go back by him? Is there any conspiracy in this?"
"No, no, it's not that complicated, because after bringing back those who disappeared, I will return Infinity Stones, and after I completed the task, I also chose to stay 70 years ago."
"Is that so? That means that my family has been brought back, right?"
Hawkeye asked excitedly, Old Captain America shook his head, "I don't know either."
"What? You're not..."
"Because what is happening now has exceeded my expectations. The appearance of Lu Qi has changed the original timeline, and the world is also developing in an unknown direction."
Black Widow comforted the excited Hawkeye, "In other words, Lu Qi should not have existed originally, but his sudden appearance caused everything to be different from what you remember."
Old Captain America nodded, looked at the excited Hawkeye, and comforted him, "Don't worry, Lu Qi is still very reliable. He said he would help you bring back people from your world, so he will definitely do it. You just need to wait for a while."
"That's good." Hawkeye's hands trembled slightly, and he took dozens of deep breaths before he managed to calm himself down.
Black Widow did not disturb Hawkeye again, but after listening to the incident experience just mentioned by Old Captain America, he also asked, "You said Thanos chased you Our world is because Nebula's equipment was seized, but now that Nebula has gone back, does that mean Thanos can't go to our world to cause trouble?"
"I'm not sure about this either. Tony said before the battle that if you play with time, time will play with you. If we use time to bring back the people we lost, we will also suffer the backlash of time."
Old Captain America's words silenced Black Widow, but Old Captain America also continued, "Of course, if the backlash is just one Thanos, I believe Lu Qi can still easily crush the opponent to death."
"That's good."
Hearing this, Black Widow breathed a sigh of relief. In her eyes, there was nothing more terrifying than Thanos.
"Next, let's just wait here quietly for Lu Qi to finish. Just be careful not to let Thanos in this world get the time shuttle device."
Black Widow patted Hawkeye on the back and said to Fury and the others.
"Then this place is for you temporarily. If you need anything, please contact me."
Fury nodded, and left here with Old Captain America.
Lu Qi played with Galacta for two days, and finally it was Shuri who sent a message to Galacta to let them out of the small apartment.
"You're playing with Shuri. I won't go there, so as not to disturb you and talk about girls' talk. I'll go see if there's anything going on over there at Tony."
Galacta nodded and flew away directly.
Lu Qi opened the portal and came to a cheeseburger shop near Stark Tower. After buying a few cheeseburgers, he walked towards Stark Tower, but he found a familiar figure in the lobby on the first floor.
"Peter·Parker?"
Seeing Little Spider appearing here for some reason, Lu Qi said hello strangely.
"Um, Mr. Lu Qi? Why are you here?"
Peter, who seemed a little nervous at first, seemed to have seen a life-saving straw when he saw Lu Qi, and quickly ran to Lu Qi's side.
"That's the question I want to ask."
"Um, okay, just..."
"Long story short." Lu Qi interrupted Little Spider's long speech and asked him to explain briefly, otherwise this chatty finger might start talking from many months ago.
Under the gaze of Lu Qi, Little Spider organized his words with a grimace, and then said, "Didn't Mr. Tony·Stark create a Defenders? Because after joining this alliance, I don't need to worry about being arrested by the police and can earn living expenses, so I signed up for this project online. Then they gave me the status of Stark Group intern and asked me to come over for an interview."
"You want to join Defenders? That's pretty good."
Lu Qi has not forgotten that he is an honorary member of this alliance. Looking at Little Spider's nervous look, "Don't worry, with your character, you will definitely be able to join Defenders!"
Hearing Lu Qi's comfort, Little Spider also smiled and nodded.
"Then you are waiting for Tony? Do you want me to take you to find him?"
"It's not Mr. Tony. He is so busy, how can he interview every member? The message they gave me is to come and find a Mr. JARVIS."
"JARVIS, I know him too, just follow me, otherwise you don't know how long you will have to wait here."
Lu Qi said casually, and then walked up. Little Spider hesitated for a while, but followed.
