Wanda covered her mouth and smiled. What Kurohane said was simple, but it was very effective for her. After Kurohane helped her heal her chaotic consciousness and solve her inner problems, she was truly grateful to Kurohane. Moreover, because her body had been strengthened by Holy Energy, she instinctively felt a closeness to him. Although she knew Kurohane liked her and deliberately came to Sokovia to save her, Wanda and Kurohane knew this feeling was definitely not love. So their relationship was very ambiguous, and it was the most beautiful time between a man and a woman!
Coincidentally, Kurohane lent Wanda the magic notebook given by The Ancient One. Because the notes were written by The Ancient One herself, she could sense who was reading them in the spiritual realm. Of course, the reason The Ancient One gave was just to monitor Kurohane's learning situation, but this just made her find another very good Supreme Sorcerer candidate!
The two of them communicated secretly through this notebook, hiding it from Kurohane. Wanda learned about another side of Kurohane that she didn't know. Some people looked like they had a few pairs of pure white wings on their backs, but secretly they were Dimension Lords from the Dark Dimension. The Ancient One was very curious about what kind of woman Kurohane liked, and Wanda was also very curious about Kurohane's past. The two sly women reached a consensus at that moment, just like in a family: the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law was very good, and only their son seemed redundant!
After a few communications, Wanda also knew that Kurohane had never been in love, but he was definitely not an Angel who descended from the sky. Instead, he was a Mage of Kamar-Taj who was favored by the Holy Dimension. The barrier in Wanda's heart seemed to have disappeared a little. Because only then did she feel that Kurohane was a human, not an unapproachable god!
Kurohane and Wanda leaned against the bar, talking about things they already knew about each other. But because they shared information, they could find a sense of familiarity in each word. The atmosphere was always harmonious. Then they saw Tony and Rhodes return in their suits, and were dragged into the room by Pepper to apologize. They also saw Natasha in a bikini, talking to a sad Dr. Banner, and Steve chatting with Sam Wilson.
Scott Lang, who had just joined the Avengers, was on a video call with his daughter, Cassie, telling her that he was also a superhero! He even deliberately walked over and let Kurohane say hello to Cassie. Seeing the somewhat familiar face in front of him, a pure white feather appeared in Kurohane's hand, completely made of Holy Energy. Although it could only be used as a flashlight, he still gave it to Scott and said it was a gift for Cassie. Cassie at the other end of the video call was very surprised, jumping for joy and saying that she got a feather from the wings of an Angel. She immediately told her father to take good care of it and send it to her!
Seeing Kurohane playing with the little girl, Wanda's smile never left her face. She held the cocktail glass and drank it. Unfortunately, for people who had been injected with the Super Soldier Serum, they couldn't get drunk even if they injected alcohol directly into their blood vessels. For them, the happiness in life seemed to have decreased.
Kurohane began to move in the crowd and started to urge the Avengers to do things they wouldn't regret later. For example, persuading Steve to accept Agent Carter's niece, Sharon Carter, who was undercover next to him. After the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., she worked for the CIA. In the original timeline, she was wanted by America for helping Steve steal equipment. Then, because of her hatred for Steve and America, she became a villain with the alias of Power Broker, specifically opposing Sam, the future Captain America!
You asked why she stole the equipment? Because Bucky killed Tony's parents in that timeline, you guys immediately got into a fight with Tony, which then turned into a massive civil war among the Avengers. No matter the circumstances, the girl was always on your side, but you kissed her and then didn't take responsibility for her. When you became a wanted criminal, you completely ignored the life and death of the girl. You're a real jerk!
Steve initially didn't believe Kurohane's words, but Kurohane clearly told Steve that Agent Carter's husband, whom he had never met, was himself who had traveled to the past. And now, if he wanted to go back, he couldn't. When asked for the reason, it was because the God of Stories wouldn't allow it! Rather than going back in time to chase Carter and live a life in anonymity, it was better to stay in the present, learn to accept a new life, and a new lover.
Steve himself hadn't expressed his opinion, but Bucky and Sam had already agreed. They strongly supported Steve to find someone to love soon. This suggestion was not only because they were Steve's friends, but more importantly, because of the title of Captain America, Sam felt he couldn't handle it alone. Bucky felt he also couldn't, and Sam was even worse! Before they experienced the same difficult times, their sense of recognition for each other was too little. If not for Steve as a "lubricant," this comedy duo would have fought!
Kurohane was only responsible for throwing out problems and not solving them. As the three of them were discussing, he quietly slipped away. Then he went up to Natasha and Dr. Banner and urged them to get married soon. Take advantage of this opportunity to retire early, get rid of the task of saving the Earth, and enjoy the life of ordinary people. For example, like Hawkeye, Clint, there was no harm in getting married and having children early!
"What? Your heart rate is too high and you'll transform?" Kurohane pointed at Banner. "Then you do the research yourself. I really don't understand this field of research, but I understand the principle of matching the same species!"
"Banner, have you ever thought about injecting some of your blood into Natasha? As long as both of you become the Hulk at the same time, wouldn't that solve the problem?"
This was Kurohane's little revenge. Because of Natasha's kiss on his face, he had to spend a long time explaining to Wanda. If Natasha was willing to become She-Hulk because of love, then Kurohane's revenge would be complete. If Natasha wasn't willing, Kurohane's revenge was also complete! Whatever Natasha's choice was, it was now her turn to explain to Dr. Banner!
As the party atmosphere reached its peak, a rainbow-colored light appeared on the roof of Stark Tower. All the Avengers were on alert immediately, but Kurohane didn't take it seriously. The Rainbow Bridge, he had seen it too many times!
When the Rainbow Bridge disappeared, Sylvie walked out and said to Kurohane, who was wearing flip-flops and beach shorts, "Kurohane, the Mage, Loki is gone!"
