Seeing that no one noticed it for a while, Ant-Man quickly shouted, "Has anyone seen Hawkeye and Black Widow?"
Captain America was prompted by Ant-Man and immediately scanned the surrounding members and found that Black Widow and Hawkeye had indeed not returned.
"What's going on? Tony, is there something wrong with your device?"
Tony was also stunned for a moment. Fortunately, the emergency treatment for Nebula has been completed, allowing him to get rid of it.
"My device... to be honest, I don't know if it will cause an accident."
?
Everyone else looked over in surprise.
"What? You don't dare to guarantee the security of your device!??"
Tony stood up and asked Scott: "We only order Pym Particles, how many experiments do you think we can do?"
After listening to what Tony said, Ant-Man Scott's jaw almost dropped in shock.
"In other words, you have no idea whether we can make it back and forth safely? We are equivalent to riding a roller coaster without safety belts???"
Tony frowned and looked at Scott for a long time, then nodded and said, "It's a very appropriate metaphor."
"Oh, damn!"
Scott Only then did he realize that he had passed through the gate of hell. When he was thankful to have survived, he also asked angrily:
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"What's the use of saying it? We have to go no matter what, right? It's better not to say anything, so as not to worry about this or that!"
Tony also shouted loudly, then took off his glasses and covered his forehead to calm down his overly excited mood.
The group of people stood there in silence, and finally Captain America broke the silence.
"So, Hawkeye, they encountered an accident?"
"We can't be sure about this. After all, there are many reasons why they can't come back... For example, they encountered a strong enemy there, just like Lu Qi."
Banner As a scientist who participated in device research, he still has some understanding of this and has put forward different opinions.
But the example he gave made Rhodey frown.
"You want to say that we offended Lu Qi, and it was Lu Qi who killed them in the end?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I mean. What I want to say is that there are so many dangerous areas in the universe. Isn't it normal for us, a group of earthlings who have never even been outside the earth, to encounter accidents?"
Banner quickly explained, making Rhodey look much better.
Suddenly, Nebula, who fell to the ground with mutilated limbs, said, "I do have a very suspicious candidate."
Rhodey glanced at her in confusion, and then his eyes immediately widened.
"You mean?"
"What riddles are you talking about?"
Thor and Rocket looked at each other and asked strangely.
"Thanos!"
Rhodey said this name, causing other people's expressions to change.
"What does it have to do with him?"
Rocket tightened the grip of the weapon in his hand and asked unhappily.
"Nebula is Thanos's former subordinate. She has a cloud server at Thanos. When Nebula went there, her memory was silently uploaded to the cloud server, causing..."
"You were discovered by Thanos, but you came back successfully, but Thanos knew your information, found Hawkeye and them, and killed them?!"
Thor continued what Rhodey had not said. While listening to this, Banner, who was wearing the body of Hulk, clenched his fists in an unacceptable manner and wanted to hit something.
But now they are on Quantum Teleportation Platform, which is the key to their subsequent actions, and he can only suppress his anger.
Striding down the teleportation platform, Banner grabbed the table next to him.
"Fuck you!"
The table was thrown out violently and hit the wall next to it, turning into a pile of debris.
Rhodey picked up Nebula and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After hesitating for a moment, Rhodey looked at Captain America and the Pym Particles they brought back.
"But no matter what, we still have to go to Parallel World until we gather all the Infinity Stones to bring back those who disappeared, right?"
Tony nodded and looked at the box of Pym Particles.
"We now have a lot of inventory, which can be used for testing many times to improve safety. This is a blessing among misfortunes..."
After a pause, Tony pretended to be relaxed and said:
"Perhaps we can also analyze the structure of Pym Particles, so that we can manufacture Pym Particles ourselves, and then organize large forces to search for Infinity Stones in different timelines."
The previous timeline cannot be left. Rhodey and the others accidentally offended Lu Qi, who might have ill intentions towards them and others.
That was a more terrifying existence than Thanos. If he really had to face him, he wouldn't know how to win.
Others sighed and could only accept the status quo.
Tony didn't intend to take a rest, and asked Banner to study Pym Particles with him, while the others planned to disband and take a rest.
But the safety door on one side that only they could open suddenly opened, attracting their attention.
"Hi, everyone is here."
Black Widow walked in from outside and saw everyone there, and couldn't help laughing.
After experiencing so much in the world of Lu Qi, she finally relaxed after seeing her companions who lived and died together for a long time.
Captain America was stunned for a long time, and then looked at Tony.
"That device of yours can still travel to before this point in time?"
Tony looked back at the teleportation platform in surprise, "That's not right. If you come back, you can only go back to that time platform. At the previous time... the platform wasn't even built at that time."
Seeing everyone standing there stunned, Black Widow asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
This sentence finally made Captain America and the others react, and Captain America came to Black Widow first.
"When did you come back, where is Hawkeye?"
"We just arrived. As for Hawkeye..."
"Hawkeye He won't be back for a while."
Lu Qi suddenly appeared from the side and said to them.
!!!
Seeing Lu Qi, Rhodey immediately hugged Nebula and carefully hid behind Banner, for fear of letting Lu Qi see it.
For Lu Qi, the dispute with them happened a few months ago, and he has long since lost his temper.
But for them, it was only a few minutes ago and their memories are still fresh.
Tony, Captain America, and Thor looked at each other, but Tony was the first to ask, "What happened? Why can't Hawkeye come back?"
"Something bad happened. Hawkeye was seriously injured. He is still relying on magic to survive. But until the injury is cured, I suggest that he stay with me for treatment."
The captain winked at the widowed sister, and the widowed sister nodded without hesitation.
"This incident is true. Hawkeye was chopped in half by Thanos and was seriously injured."
"Thanos!!!"
The group of people really had PTSD about this name, one or two of them had extremely excited reactions, and even Banner felt like Hulk was going crazy.
"Where is that guy? This time I'm going to chop off his head!"
Fat Thor said domineeringly, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, Stormbreaker flew down from the sky and fell into his hands.
With a flash of thunder, a bloated armor appeared on his body.
Coupled with the Mjolnir in the other hand, it is an unstoppable posture.
Lu Qi looked at Fat Thor's actions and helplessly raised his forehead.
This nephew is so reckless. You used to be so strong that you had to rely on sneak attacks to give Thanos an axe. Now that you are like this, you still want to challenge others?
Can you expand like this with a hammer?
Black Widow calmed down his excited teammates and said in confusion, "Thanos suddenly appeared and snatched the shuttle device from me and Hawkeye. Then Tony and the others over there appeared and suppressed Thanos, but he still used the device to escape."
Tony looked back at the quiet transmission platform, then turned back to Black Widow and said, "Are you sure he used my device?"
Black Widow nodded seriously, "I was deeply impressed by that scene."
Thinking of Hawkeye being cut in half, Tony and the others also nodded.
"Then why didn't Thanos appear with us?"
Captain America asked Tony, and Tony shrugged.
"Maybe it's what we talked about before. There are some minor problems with the device. The guy had an accident during the shuttle, so..."
Tony drew a mark on his neck, Captain America said they understood, but still had doubts.
Lu Qi looked at their appearance and asked about it, only to find out what they were talking about before.
"I've also seen your device, and there's actually no problem with its operation, but traveling through time lines is actually quite dangerous."
Lu Qi also gave his professional opinion. He explained, "There is nothing wrong with the time-traveling function of your device, but the time-traveling itself is very prone to accidents. For example, being intercepted by Dimensional Demon God in the middle, or accidentally entering the time vortex, etc., are all dangers that may occur along the way."
"As for Thanos, based on my objective analysis, he may not be as lucky as you, and something happened in the middle. Of course, it is also possible that the device was accidentally damaged during the fight. After all, the thing itself is not very sturdy."
Tony nodded in understanding, "Then it seems that my roller coaster still has safety belts, but there may be something wrong with the roller coaster itself."
Lu Qi frowned, then nodded, "A very appropriate metaphor."
Listening to Lu Qi's answer, Tony was stunned for a moment, "I know why you are good friends with 'me'."
From some aspects, he and Lu Qi actually have a pretty good compatibility.
After chatting for a while, the others understood Lu Qi's attitude and heaved a sigh of relief after knowing that Lu Qi had no ill intentions.
Next, a group of people came forward and asked about the details of Hawkeye.
Lu Qi has no intention of hiding it. After all, everyone here is not an ordinary person and has a strong ability to accept.
And after knowing that although Hawkeye was cut in half, his life was not in danger, they finally relaxed.
Lu Qi also simply informed them of the treatment plan. After Tony knew which Killian medicine would be used, he did not refute the plan.
Instead, he looked back at Rhodey who was hiding behind Banner with Nebula.
"Rhodey! We seem to have a way to get you back on your feet!"
After hearing this, Rhodey walked out from behind Banner without caring about anything else.
"What?"
Tony stepped forward excitedly and grabbed Rhodey's hand, "We in the other world are studying Killian's medicine. By then, we may have a way to cure your spine!"
"Killian?" Rhodey Listening to this somewhat familiar name, after repeating it several times, I finally remembered who this guy was.
Isn't that the same person who almost killed him and Tony with the help of some potion that transformed him into Pyro a few years ago?
And recalling the efficacy of that guy's medicine, Rhodey also became a little excited.
That potion can help many disabled retired soldiers regenerate their broken limbs, so it may not be impossible to cure his injuries!
Tony saw Rhodey's eyes shining, and he patted his shoulder vigorously in excitement.
A few years ago, when he and Stephen broke up, they had a fight because of their different ideas.
At that time, although Rhodey was not a member of Avengers, he still came to help at his invitation and under the order of the military.
But it was during that battle that Rhodey was accidentally injured. The energy system of the armor was damaged, causing him to fall from a height of 100 meters.
Fortunately, Rhodey was wearing a battle armor and the top-notch shock-absorbing system saved him from death, but he still suffered serious injuries.
The most serious one was the damage to Rhodey's spine, which almost paralyzed his lower body.
As for what happened to Rhodey, Tony is the one who feels the most guilty.
Because he was the one who asked Rhodey to chase the spacecraft, and he was also the one who asked Vision to launch the attack, which resulted in accidental damage to Rhodey.
Subsequently, Tony also worked very hard to make up for Rhodey, trying to develop a suitable biological machine to replace Rhodey's spine and assist him in moving like a normal person.
But how can such a machine be developed so easily?
Furthermore, Tony's own research direction is not medical treatment. The biomachines developed over the years can only barely allow Rhodey to stand up and walk.
But this can only support Rhodey to walk a few steps, and cannot do any important physical work. Only by wearing the armor, Rhodey can look a little like the past.
Seeing these good friends looking at each other affectionately, Lu Qi couldn't help but smile.
This can be regarded as eliminating a tragedy that made him feel uncomfortable in the original plot.
Banner on the side noticed Lu Qi's smile and coughed slightly, indicating that they were concerned about the occasion.
Tony and Rhodey woke up from a dream. Looking at the excited Rhodey, Tony's face became serious.
He turned around and came to Lu Qi, bent down, and asked seriously, "Sir Lu Qi, could you please give us a potion, I want to cure Rhodey's injury."
Lu Qi looked at Tony who was so serious and helped him up with one hand.
"You'd better go talk to someone else about this matter yourself."
As he said that, Lu Qi raised his head and glanced at Rhodey.
"In our world, Rhodey has always been Tony's good friend. Even if you are not our Rhodey, I believe he will help you."
