*****
A yacht sped across the surface of the sea, cutting through the waves as it headed toward the mysterious Inhuman city of Attilan.
As they drew closer to their target destination, the five people on board felt a surge of excitement.
However, just as they approached the coordinates where the city had supposedly appeared, a dense fog materialized before their eyes. It was so thick that it obscured everything. Strangely, their boat seemed to lose control; the helm turned on its own, adjusting their course and steering them away in a completely different direction.
By the time the fog in front of them dissipated, they found themselves in a different location entirely, having veered far off course from Attilan.
The group looked at each other in dismay.
"Is this the reason why Attilan hasn't been discovered by anyone?"
Daisy Johnson looked back at the sea. Seeing nothing but rolling waves where the fog had been, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
The location they were in was already far from the shipping lanes marked on standard maps. Very few people ever came here. Coupled with Attilan's camouflage, the probability of anyone stumbling upon it was pitifully small.
However, this also served as a testament to Attilan's mystery and power. After all, this was a camouflage that shrouded an entire island.
Despite the setback, the five of them were buzzing with excitement. Lincoln waved his hand to his companion in the cockpit, signaling for them to turn back.
Bacon nodded, swung the boat around, and charged toward their previous position once again.
As they advanced, the fog—so thick it seemed impossible to dissolve—appeared once more, blocking their vision. Just as before, their boat malfunctioned, carrying them away from Attilan's location.
"What should we do?" Romeo asked, his voice tinged with anxiety.
The feeling of having found the "treasure" but being unable to grasp it was truly terrible.
"We go in again!"
Daisy's eyes flashed as she made a decision. Having come this far, there was no reason to give up.
The yacht sailed in for a third attempt. When the mist appeared this time, Daisy closed her eyes, spread her hands, and activated her abilities.
Vibration waves emanated from her palms, acting like a sonar detector to help her locate the correct direction. Just as their yacht began to malfunction and turn to take them away, Daisy gave a sharp shout.
"Control the boat! If you can't, destroy the console!"
As soon as her voice fell, Lincoln, his hands flashing with electric light, rushed into the cockpit and slammed his hands onto the control panel.
Seconds later, black smoke billowed from the console as the electronic equipment inside was completely fried.
Finally, their boat drifted to a halt.
Daisy closed her eyes, relying on her powers to quietly search the area. Finally, she felt the vibration waves she had sent out strike against something solid.
"Found it!" She let out a sigh of relief.
"What do we do next?" Romeo asked.
Lincoln watched Daisy closely. Seeing the corner of her mouth curve up slightly, he felt a jolt in his heart.
"You aren't thinking of...?"
"Exactly!" Daisy nodded. She turned to the other female Inhuman and said, "Lily, push the boat in the direction I point to!"
Lily nodded and leaped from the boat into the water.
Accompanied by the sound of splashing water, a brilliant fish tail appeared in the sea. Lily, having transformed into a mermaid, pressed her hands against the hull and pushed the boat rapidly in the direction Daisy indicated.
A moment later...
Bang!
Their boat seemed to hit something, producing a crisp sound.
A look of surprise and joy appeared on the faces of the five. Daisy reached out and touched the invisible barrier, nodding. "Found it."
"But how do we get in?"
Just as Romeo asked this question, he saw Lincoln's helpless expression. Startled, he looked at Daisy.
Daisy pressed her hand against the invisible energy shield and smiled. "If the door won't open, we just have to 'knock'."
As she spoke, a massive amount of vibrational energy gathered in her palm, continuously bombarding the protective shield in front of her.
Under her attack, the energy shield, originally in a camouflaged state, revealed itself to them for the first time. It looked like a layer of soft yet incredibly tough light membrane, dutifully defending against Daisy's assault.
Looking at the energy shield that easily blocked her attack, Daisy nodded secretly. It was indeed worthy of Attilan.
She maintained the assault for a few seconds, then stopped.
But... it seemed useless.
Compared to the shield covering the entire island, her "knocking" just now was like a mosquito landing on a massive gate; it wouldn't attract the attention of the owner inside the house at all.
Obviously, Daisy realized this as well.
So, she took a deep breath and pressed her hand against the shield again.
This time, her vibration waves became violent. Seeing that she still hadn't attracted Attilan's attention, she began to continuously increase the intensity.
Hummm...
The sound of vibration waves resonated in the air, getting louder and louder, until...
Crack!
With a crisp sound, cracks appeared on the protective shield in front of them. Under Daisy's bombardment, it shattered with a boom.
Of course, it was only a small breach, insignificant compared to the massive shield as a whole, but it was enough for them to enter.
Watching the breach rapidly repairing itself, Daisy looked at the others and mused, "Let's go in."
They had already blasted it open, after all.
After getting everyone's agreement, Lily, still in the water, pushed the boat through the gap.
Just as the breach in the shield fully healed behind them and they were staring blankly at the city in the distance, the space on the deck behind them suddenly distorted. A large dog, much bigger than a typical canine, appeared quietly alongside a red-haired girl.
The girl sized up the group. Seeing that they hadn't noticed her, she clenched her fist and coughed lightly.
"Hey, are you guys from the outside?"
The sudden voice startled Daisy. They hurriedly turned around. When they saw the lazy-looking giant dog and the curious girl, they were shocked.
What kind of ability was this? When did they appear?
"Aren't you going to introduce yourselves?"
The girl revealed a friendly smile and said, "I'm Crystal, and this is Lockjaw. What about you? What should I call you?"
Daisy looked at the girl and hurriedly asked, "Where is this?"
"Where?" Crystal smiled brightly. "Attilan!"
Hearing this, Daisy and the others couldn't help but cheer.
They had finally found it.
Attilan!
Kent Star, Kent School for Talented Heroes.
Although today was Sunday, the school was even livelier than usual.
Because today was the day Logan and Emma were holding their wedding.
Logan and Emma had decided to host the wedding at the school. Although they had only invited family and close friends, many of the school's children had spontaneously come to offer their wedding blessings to Logan.
Compared to Mike's wedding, Logan and Emma's ceremony wasn't grand in scale, but it received the sincere blessings of everyone present. Since there were no outsiders—only old friends—it felt less like a formal ceremony and more like a reunion of old companions.
Apart from people from the school, the only outsiders Logan invited were members of the Avengers.
Mike adjusted his suit, patted his face, and smiled.
Today, he was a member of the groomsmen party.
"Hey! Mike! I have a funny idea. Do you want to join in?"
Remy LeBeau, a fellow groomsman, asked Mike, a mischievous grin appearing involuntarily on his face.
Mike frowned, looked at the expression on Remy's face, and shook his head hurriedly.
He had a feeling that if he agreed, something bad would happen.
"Tch, you're really boring," Remy muttered, adjusting his hat as he looked toward Hank Pym and Scott Summers, who were pushing the door open to enter.
Today, these four old friends were Logan's groomsmen.
Remy whispered something to the two of them. Hank Pym shook his head, but Scott was dragged out of the room by Remy.
Mike waved to Hank. When Hank approached him, Mike smiled and said, "Long time no see."
"If we don't see each other, we don't see each other. I see Clark all the time anyway."
Speaking of this, the expressionless Hank Pym suddenly revealed a proud smile. "The other day, my neighbors were asking if Clark was my son. How do you think I should answer?"
He looked at Mike and pushed up his glasses smugly.
Mike glanced at Hank and grinned. "A son-in-law is practically half a son. Say whatever you want."
Hah!
Hank had raised so many daughters, and they were all going to marry into the Kent family. So what if he let this old guy have a little verbal victory?
Mike expressed that he was very magnanimous.
Sure enough, seeing that Mike wasn't annoyed, Hank grunted twice in irritation but then couldn't help but laugh. He leaned close to Mike and whispered, "So? When are we going to discuss Clark and Hope's matter?"
"Wait for them to decide for themselves," Mike said, then winked at Hank. "So? Don't you think Clark is excellent and a perfect match for Hope?"
Hank looked at Mike's smug face and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but thinking of Clark's character, he nodded and praised, "Clark is a very excellent child."
"It's because I taught him well."
Mike praised himself proudly.
Hank shook his head helplessly.
Undeniably, what Mike said was the truth, and he couldn't refute it.
Just then, the door to their room was pushed open.
"Mike! Hank!"
Dressed in a well-tailored suit that exuded a unique, wild gentlemanly charm, Logan greeted them as he walked over. He hugged both of them and looked around in confusion.
"Where are Remy and Scott?"
"They went out just now, said they had something to do," Hank said casually, looking Logan up and down before a smile bloomed on his aged face.
"I didn't expect you to have a day where you look this dapper, like a proper human being."
Logan lightly punched Hank and laughed, "I'll take that as a compliment."
"Of course, I'm complimenting you!" Mike sighed and said helplessly, "When I got married, Hank never complimented me."
Hank glanced at Mike and sneered, "Heh, you, the Master of Kent Star... that day you were surrounded so tightly not even water could leak through. How could an old fossil like me squeeze in?"
"I think the 'old fossil' part is very accurate!" Mike rubbed his chin and nodded gently.
The corner of Hank's mouth twitched. He suddenly reached out to strangle Mike, his face looking ferocious. "I might as well strangle you to death!"
"Hahaha!"
Watching the two bickering and playing around, Logan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Only these old friends, who had known each other for more than twenty years, could joke like this.
This feeling was truly good.
Knock, knock!
Just then, there was a knock on their room door.
The three looked over in confusion. Hank took two steps and opened the door, then, as if he had seen something terrifying, he jumped back violently.
"F-F-F***! What the hell is this? R-Ray... Remy? Is that you?"
Hank stammered, his feet still retreating backward.
Mike and Logan looked over hurriedly.
Then, their faces began to twitch irregularly, as if pulled by countless invisible strings.
Standing at the door was an "old woman" with stubble on her face, wearing heavy makeup and a wedding dress, looking incredibly garish.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"What the hell are you?"
Logan and Mike screamed out.
The "old woman" pouted, pointing at the two of them. "You guys say such ugly things. How could I be a ghost?"
Saying this, "she" winked at Logan and spoke in a pinched falsetto, "My name is Rainy!"
"Rainy my ass! Act normal! What exactly do you want to do?"
The corner of Logan's mouth twitched. He couldn't help but clench his fists, and his claws looked like they might pop out at any moment. Meanwhile, Mike quietly took out his camera and started recording video.
"What am I doing?" Remy covered his face, letting out a weird laugh, then said to Logan, "Logan, I've known you much longer than Emma has! You heartless man! Today, I must marry you!"
"Get lost! Don't disgust me!" Logan yelled, his face turning iron-green.
"Don't be so heartless!"
Remy LeBeau walked toward Logan step by step.
Logan retreated with a face full of horror. When Remy lunged at him, Logan let out a scream and ran out the door.
Remy stood there laughing wildly, while Mike chased after them with his phone.
Hank looked at Remy speechlessly but then said with a mischievous grin, "Aren't you going to chase him?"
"He'll come back. Don't forget there's Scott! And a surprise we just encountered." Remy grinned, then suddenly looked regretful. "It would have been even funnier if you and Mike had joined in."
Hank's mouth twitched. "As long as you guys are having fun."
At the same time, Mike, who was chasing and filming Logan, hurriedly stopped in his tracks.
Because he saw two figures appear in the long corridor, blocking Logan's path.
Both were also wearing wedding dresses and were heavily made up just like Remy. One of them stared at Logan with eyes emitting a dangerous red glow, while the other had only one eye, staring numbly at Logan.
"S-Scott! Fury?"
Mike was truly shocked this time.
He hadn't expected the always serious Scott to do something this insane.
As for Nick Fury...
Mike actually didn't find it that surprising.
Although the man was a super-spy chief in front of everyone else, only Mike knew that a five-year-old child practically lived inside that guy's heart.
However, the effect was quite effective.
Watching Logan being forced back step by step toward the room where they were waiting by the two "brides," Mike hurriedly retreated.
Under the amused gazes of Mike and Hank, Logan was backed into a corner by Remy and the other two.
