Hawaii Trip

Hulk lay at the bottom of the pit, covered in wounds, his green skin cracked but slowly healing.

Adam hovered in the air, his breathing somewhat disordered, clearly having expended a great deal of energy in that attack.

"Still not down?"

On the terrace, Xiao Han leaned back in a deck chair, raising an eyebrow and saying, "This Hulk is indeed extraordinary."

Just then, Hulk's body suddenly began to convulse violently, the blood vessels under his skin bulged, and his muscles began to writhe unnaturally.

"What's going on?" Natasha exclaimed from afar.

Hulk curled up in agony, letting out a heart-wrenching roar, his eyes fixed on Adam with hatred.

His size began to shrink, and the green color gradually faded.

A few minutes later, the one lying at the bottom of the pit was no longer Hulk, but Doctor Banner had returned to human form.

He weakly opened his eyes, his voice hoarse. "Is... it over?"

Adam landed beside him, looking at him warily. "Doctor Banner? Tell me you're in a good mood right now, or I might have to consider fighting you to the death."

"It's... it's me..." Banner struggled to sit up. "I... I need to rest..."

Upon seeing this, Xiao Han withdrew his gaze.

"The show's over." He clapped his hands and lay back down in his chair.

"Turing, continue monitoring their movements."

"Understood, sir. S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents are approaching that area," Turing reported.

"Nick Fury has just announced the official start of the Avengers Initiative."

Xiao Han chuckled softly, "He's finally assembled his Super Boy band."

He closed his eyes, but his Super Hearing still kept him focused on the conversation in the distance.

"Join us, Doctor Banner," Natasha's voice came through the phone.

"We can help you control the Hulk."

"I need to think about it..." Banner replied weakly.

"The world needs more guardians like you..." This is Adam's voice.

Xiao Han shook his head and stopped paying attention.

He looked up at the starry sky, his thoughts drifting to distant places.

Just then, I heard soft footsteps behind me.

"Still not asleep?" Wanda's voice came from the stairwell.

Xiao Han didn't turn around. "Aren't you the same?"

Wanda sat down beside him, her red hair shimmering in the moonlight.

She followed Xiao Han's gaze to the starry sky. "What are you looking at?"

"The future," Xiao Han replied briefly.

Wanda tilted her head and looked at him. "You're always like this, so secretive."

Xiao Han's lips curled slightly. "That's how all mages are."

The two remained silent for a while, as the night breeze gently swept across the terrace.

"Your conversation during the day was about Monaco," Wanda suddenly said.

Xiao Han raised an eyebrow. "So?"

"So..." Wanda bit her lower lip.

"If you change your mind and want to go, I can come with you."

Xiao Han turned to look at her, his golden eyes reflecting her image. "You want to go?"

Wanda's face flushed slightly. "I just want to see the outside world. Since Hydra came out, I haven't..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Han had already stood up.

"Okay, we'll leave tomorrow, but not to Monaco."

Wanda's eyes widened. "Really? Where is that?"

"Why not?" Xiao Han shrugged. "Training requires practice anyway."

"Anywhere is fine, like Hawaii."

Wanda couldn't help but smile, crimson energy dancing joyfully at her fingertips.

Looking at her, Xiao Han's eyes softened slightly. "Don't be too happy yet, come back and continue training."

"Okay!"

Wanda stood up cheerfully, her red hair tracing a graceful arc in the air. "I'll go pack my luggage!"

She jogged away, her steps light and quick.

Xiao Han shook his head and turned to walk towards the bedroom.

early morning

Sunlight streamed into the restaurant through the floor-to-ceiling windows as Wanda placed the last fried egg on the table.

Crimson energy flowed from her fingertips, and the plate landed steadily in front of Xiao Han's usual seat.

"Turing, is he still in the training room?" Wanda asked softly, her fingers unconsciously twirling a strand of red hair.

"The master has been absorbing Artificial Sun energy all night," Turing's voice came from the ceiling.

"Based on Superman's abilities, he has already sensed the entire process of you preparing breakfast."

Wanda's ears burned, and just as she was about to speak, the door leading to the underground training room slid open silently.

Xiao Han strode over, the sleeves of his black casual shirt casually rolled up, revealing his well-defined forearms.

The golden afterglow of energy had not yet completely faded from his pupils, and it swirled in his eyes with each step.

"The fried egg was cooked better than yesterday."

Xiao Han sat down at the dining table, his fingertips curling slightly, and coffee floated automatically to his face.

Wanda pushed the toast towards her. "I added some spices, I don't know if it suits your taste."

She watched as Xiao Han cut open the fried egg, the golden yolk flowing onto the plate.

Xiao Han took a bite and raised an eyebrow. "Cinnamon and nutmeg?"

"You know this too?" Wanda's eyes widened in surprise.

"My taste buds can analyze molecular structures." Xiao Han shook his fork.

"But this combination is indeed quite good."

Wanda smiled, then lowered her head to cut her breakfast.

Morning light filtered through her red hair, casting dappled shadows on the white tablecloth.

"So."

She hesitated before speaking, "Is there anything special about Hawaii? To be honest, I've never been there."

Xiao Han put down his coffee cup. "Sunshine, beaches, and..."

He suddenly snapped his the Snap in front of Wanda, and a frangipani flower appeared out of thin air and drifted down onto her plate.

"A suitable environment for practicing elemental magic."

Wanda picked up the flower, crimson energy unconsciously wrapping around it, golden patterns appearing on the edges of the petals. "I thought it would be a more serious training ground."

"Chaos Magic originates from emotions." Xiao Han stood up, the sunlight outlining his tall and straight figure.

"A repressive environment will only backfire."

He walked to the center of the living room and drew a golden circle with his hand.

On the other side of the portal, azure waves lapped against white sand, and palm trees swayed in the breeze.

Wanda jogged to catch up, then suddenly stopped before crossing the portal. "Wait, should I change into my swimsuit?"

Xiao Han stepped into the portal without looking back. "That's even better."

A warm Hawaii breeze wafted in, carrying the scent of sea salt.

Wanda walked barefoot on the soft sand, her toes sinking into the warm grains.

She took a deep breath, and Chaos Magic unconsciously overflowed, forming a crimson mist around her.

"Control."

Xiao Han's voice came from behind, "Feel the resonance between the energy and the environment."

Wanda closed her eyes, letting the sea breeze caress her face.

She discovered that the flow of magical energy here was indeed different, like warm water enveloping her entire body.

When she opened her eyes again, the crimson mist had stabilized and was pulsating rhythmically with her breathing.

"Very good."

Xiao Han had changed his clothes at some point, and the sunlight revealed his perfect body proportions, with muscles sculpted like a sculpture.

He pointed to the distant sea. "Now, try to extend the energy onto the water."

Wanda's cheeks flushed slightly as she quickly focused her attention.

Crimson energy swept across the sea like ribbons, stirring up tiny ripples.

"It's not about controlling, it's about guiding." Xiao Han walked to her side.

Imagine your magic is part of the sea breeze.

With his guidance, the crimson energy gradually synchronized with the waves, refracting a strange brilliance in the sunlight.

Wanda was pleasantly surprised to find that she expended far less energy this time compared to training.

Why is it easier here?

"Elemental affinity." Xiao Han raised his hand, and a thin stream of water rose from the sea, swirling in his palm.

"Every place has a unique energy field; finding a point of resonance can make all the difference."

He suddenly grabbed Wanda's wrist and pointed her finger towards the sea. "Feel this frequency."

Wanda held her breath. Xiao Han's palm was warm and dry, and a strange energy fluctuation came through the contact.

She subconsciously mimicked this frequency, and crimson energy instantly spread, causing the entire sea to shimmer.

"I did it!" she cheered, nearly bumping into Xiao Han's chin as she turned her head.

The two were so close they could count each other's eyelashes.

Xiao Han's golden eyes narrowed slightly. "Not bad talent."

He released his grip, took a half-step back, and said, "Now try changing the shape of the water."

Wanda hurriedly turned to face the sea, her red hair flying as she concealed her reddened ear tips.

She focused her mind, and crimson energy intertwined on the sea surface, gradually condensing into a sparkling Crystal castle.

"Too deliberate," Xiao Han commented. "Chaos Magic should be more..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Crystal castle suddenly twisted and deformed, transforming into a giant water dragon that shot into the sky!

Wanda screamed as the water jets veered wildly towards the beach!

Xiao Han appeared before her in an instant, his eyes shining brightly with golden light.
