When Tony opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a life-support cabin soaked in nutrient solution.
A warm feeling enveloped him, like a baby returning to its mother's womb.
"Uh, am I dreaming? Otherwise, why would it be Stark Industries's survival capsule?"
Tony's pale face, which had lost too much blood, had a look of confusion.
In my groggy head, the memories were scattered and fragmented, like badly edited movie clips.
He saw the alloy hatch covering it, and there was a familiar LOGO similar to the letter A in a prominent place, which was the logo of Stark Industries.
Touch it lightly with your hand, and the virtual interface suddenly appears.
Tony performed the operation in a familiar manner. Not long after, the nutrient solution covering the body gradually receded, and the lid of the life-support cabin opened automatically.
"Are you awake?"
It happened that a young man walked into the room. He saw the naked and skinny Tony, and threw a bath towel casually.
"A few minutes faster than I expected. You seem to be fine."
Tony caught the bath towel, wiped it clean and absorbed the volatile nutrient solution residue.
Then he took out a brand new set of clothes from the storage layer under the survival cabin.
He seemed to know the layout and facilities of the room very well.
"Who are you? Why do I appear here? If I remember correctly, this room seems to be the Regeneration Cradle breeding room I designed before!"
Tony had a lot of questions in his mind, and he touched the hideous wound under his chest.
The originally infected pus was removed, leaving not even a single trace of scar on the surface of the skin.
If Tony hadn't clearly remembered the fierce battle between him and Thanos on Titan, he might have thought that he had had a terrible nightmare.
In fact, nothing happened.
The sacrifices of the Snap, Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange who wiped out half of all life in the universe are all just reflections of inner fear.
"I said, based on seniority, you should call me Godfather."
The young man who brought Iron Man back from Milano was none other than Luke.
He first found Nebula, revealed his identity, and entered the spacecraft.
Immediately afterwards, he discovered that Iron Man's physical condition was not optimistic, and he quickly sent him to Quinjet.
Fortunately, before Luke set off, he anticipated that Tony might be in a weak state, and specially prepared the Regeneration Cradle system of Dr. Helen Cho.
The Vibranium body built by Ultron back then, and the idea for the later Iron Man nano-armor all came from it.
"Godfather? To be honest, maybe you should call me Uncle Stark."
Tony Putting on a well-fitting uniform, he felt like he had been reborn.
"I know a high school student who is very talkative. You don't look much older than him! Did you just graduate from college this year?"
Tony obviously does not believe the so-called "Godfather".
I'm afraid it would be difficult for anyone to accept a Godfather who is much younger than himself.
"Well, I'm getting tired of having to explain my origins to every person I meet."
Luke spread his hands and said with a smile, "Tony, I know your father Howard - although he is your father from another universe, no matter what, you both have the same blood flowing in your body, and you both have Stark Family's natural narcissism and pride, as well as genius minds."
"Although you were not born in my universe yet, Howard has already agreed to let me be your Godfather - provided that he can really get married before the age of thirty-five."
"I don't know what kind of charming woman your mother Mary is, but it is really remarkable that Howard can shoulder the responsibility and take care of the family."
Seeing how familiar Luke is, talking about his father and mother, Tony's brain can't help but shut down a little.
He tried to analyze the meaning of each paragraph of Luke, but the effect was not ideal.
Different universes, time and space, different time nodes, these contents that ordinary people cannot understand, it is a big problem for anyone to quickly digest and accept them.
Even though Iron Man is one of the top geniuses in the world.
But even though he didn't know the identity of Luke, he still looked confused and confused.
"That is to say, this guy, oh, no, should be my dear Godfather. He comes from another universe and time. He is not only the captain's comrade, but also knows my father. By the way, you can actually defeat that big guy Thor in a personal duel. It's really amazing!"
Half an hour later, while chewing compressed biscuits and drinking tons of Feizhai Happy Water, Tony finally cleared his mind.
"Hey! I'm just not serious!"
Thor said dissatisfied.
He hated being reminded of that failure again and again.
"Okay, I'm just talking casually."
Tony waved his hand, and after regaining his physical strength and energy, he turned into the energetic Iron Man again.
"Then let's get back to the topic, Luke... do you want me to call you Godfather, or Cahill uncle?"
Luke heard the teasing meaning in the words, shrugged and said, "You know, although parallel universes do not interfere with each other, there are exceptions to everything."
"Tony, you were not born in my universe, and your father was not married. In other words, as long as I am willing, it is very likely that you will not be born, which will trigger a chain of bad events."
"I believe that if you have watched "Back to the Future", you should know what I am talking about."
Tony swallowed the last bite of the compressed biscuit, made a surrender gesture, curled his lips and said, "Okay, then I'll call you Uncle Cahill."
After some back-and-forth bickering, the atmosphere in Quinjet's cab gradually became solemn.
After everyone finished reminiscing about the past, they began to recall the cruel facts.
The earth lost half of its life, and the superheroes lost their families and friends.
"Tony, everyone is happy that you are okay."
Captain America starts with this sentence.
"After experiencing the fiasco of Thanos, each of us lost a lot."
"Yes, that hapless guy Quill, and Gamora, and that idiot Drax..."
Rocket Raccoon sat on Thor's shoulders, sniffed, and then wiped it clean with Thor's cloak.
Guardians of the Galaxy is now the only one left, and the rest of the members have been wiped out by the Snap.
This mortality rate is simply astonishing!
On the other hand, Avengers.
The veteran members are all fine.
All we can say is that what Thanos said is absolutely fair, random chance, maybe the will of the universe.
"Then do you have any plans, or specific plans, Captain?"
Tony asked, biting the straw.
Because of the existence of Luke, he did not look at Captain America with any antagonism.
If everything has a chance to be saved, then working together and fighting together is the most important goal.
"We are going to find Thanos directly, then take back Infinity Gauntlet from him, and kill that damn bastard at the same time!"
Captain America glanced at Luke sitting next to him and said in a deep voice.
"Wow, Captain Rogers said dirty words. Did any of you hear it just now? Please record it for me! This is really a historic moment!"
Tony screamed exaggeratedly, with a strange look on his face.
There is no way, someone named Avengers once acted before, Iron Man just cursed "shit", and then was educated by Captain America.
Therefore, Tony will definitely not miss this opportunity.
Captain America smiled helplessly and continued, "Nebula mentioned that Thanos has a 'retirement plan'. When he completes his mission and achieves his goal, he will return to a planet called 'Garden'."
"Banner has studied gamma rays before, and he may be one of the experts who knows Cosmic Energy best."
Banner, wearing a plaid shirt, smiled slightly, showing the reserve of a genius.
"What smart people do! You plan to scan the energy residue of Infinity Stone with the earth as the center, and then find the scattered traces to determine the location of Thanos!"
Tony is easy to understand, and you can instantly understand the true meaning of Captain America.
"That's right. When Thanos left, he used Space Stone to open a portal. As long as the energy is released, traceable clues will be left behind."
Captain America nodded. This method was an idea that Luke and Banner came up with after discussing it.
"So, have you found it?"
Tony's expression turned solemn.
Thinking of that terrible guy who wiped out half of all life in the universe, the healing wound on his chest ached a little.
"After comparing the range of energy radiation, the intensity of the energy reaction, and the results of large-scale scanning, we finally determined that Thanos may be on this planet."
Captain America draws out the projected picture, it is a beautiful planet.
"Then what are we waiting for?"
The impatient Thor couldn't wait.
Captain America pursed his lips, looked around, and asked in a deep voice, "Everyone, are you confident to fight again?"
The superheroes nodded, with determination in their eyes.
"Okay, Avengers - assemble again!"
Captain America and Iron Man looked at each other and shouted the classic slogan.
