yes.
Tired?
Of course I'm tired.
When she first drew power from the dark dimension, she knew she had embarked on a path of no return.
As she repeatedly witnessed Tony Stark's demise in the flow of time, her heart...
It was also a time of pain and struggle. She also wanted to find a path to happiness for everyone.
But she couldn't find it.
"What makes you think that?" After a long while, Ancient One slowly spoke.
"Will your path definitely lead to a better future?"
"Because I don't believe in fate," Henry laughed.
"I don't believe in predetermined fate. The future holds countless possibilities, and what I want to do is seize the most exciting one."
"You might see fourteen million endings, but I can directly create the fourteen million and one ending."
"So, Master." Henry extended his hand to her again, his smile confident.
"Give us a chance, and give yourself a chance too."
"Join us. Or at least don't become our enemy."
"We may be crazy, we may be arrogant, but our goal is the same as yours: to protect the people we deeply love. and protect our home earth."
Silence fell over the cabin once again.
But this time, it was no longer deathly silent.
Tony stood aside, having given up thinking.
All he wants now is to find a quiet place to finish a whole bottle of whiskey, then take a nap, hoping to wake up tomorrow and find that it was all just a dream.
Steve held Peggy's hand tightly, equally shaken.
He looked at Henry, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.
This young man was unlike anyone else he knew, unlike Tony or anyone else he knew.
He possesses immense self-confidence and an overbearing attitude that disregards all rules.
Because you know that behind that domineering attitude lies a heart that wants to protect everything.
But ironically, you can't bring yourself to hate him.
Ancient One stared at Henry's outstretched hand for a very long time.
Finally, she slowly shook her head.
"I can't join you," she said softly.
"The Sorcerer Supreme has his own duties. I cannot, and should not, interfere with human choices."
Henry raised an eyebrow slightly, as if he was about to say something.
Ancient One continued, "But..."
She smiled.
"I won't stop you either."
She glanced at Tony and Steve.
"You two are indeed a very interesting combination."
"perhaps...."
After saying that, she ignored everyone and simply turned around, making a light sweeping motion in the air with her right hand.
The portal appears again.
"You really can create a future I've never seen before."
Just before stepping into the portal, the Ancient One turned around and gave him a deep look.
"Remember, Henry Stark."
"Power is never free."
"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."
"However," she changed the subject, her eyes filled with admiration.
"You are fascinating; your soul possesses limitless potential. If you are interested in the nature of power, the gates of Kamar-Taj are always open for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared into the swirling sparks.
The portal closed silently, as if it had never existed.
The cabin returned to silence.
All that remained was the faint scent of sandalwood and the shocked group of people.
"So." Tony held his wine glass, looking at Henry with a blank expression.
"That bald woman, no, that lady, she just left like that? And she even gave you a school acceptance letter?"
"What else?" Henry shrugged, sat back down on the sofa, and crossed his legs.
"Are you suggesting she stay for dinner? I didn't prepare any for her."
"Fuck!" Tony felt like he was about to go crazy.
"Can you explain to me what happened?! What Sorcerer Supreme? What Time Stone? What Dark Dimension? And why did I die?! You'd better give me a reasonable explanation! Otherwise, I'll have Jarvis fly this plane to the Bermuda Triangle right now, and we'll all die together!"
Tony is really on the verge of a breakdown.
He felt like an ordinary person who had accidentally wandered onto a movie set, everything around him beyond his comprehension. And his damned brother, on the other hand, remained completely calm.
This made him feel like a fool!
Steve and Peggy also looked at Henry, their eyes filled with the same question.
Although they knew more than Tony.
But the feeling that Henry was omniscient and omnipotent still made them uneasy.
"Relax, relax," Henry waved his hand.
"There will be plenty of time to explain these things to you later. Simply put, we just successfully persuaded the most powerful magician on Earth to tacitly approve of all our future actions. Now, in Earth Online, we're like a cheat code, understand?"
"I don't understand!" Tony roared.
"That's not important." Henry completely ignored his protest.
"Now, we have more important things to do."
He snapped his fingers, and a structural diagram of a heavily guarded manor appeared on the holographic screen in the cabin.
"This is a secret estate of the Stark family, with a security system even stronger than the Pentagon. From today onwards, Aunt Peggy and Mr. Rogers will be staying here temporarily."
"Jarvis, raise the base's alert level to the highest. Also, bring over that box numbered 007 from my lab. Tony, the Rejuvenation Project is officially launched now."
Tony looked at the data, his genius instincts allowing him to temporarily suppress his doubts, and he frowned.
"Are you sure you want to start now? Materials, equipment, theoretical models—we haven't prepared anything yet."
"Who said we weren't prepared?" Henry smiled mysteriously.
"The trip to Asgard that Thor promised, and a gift I've already prepared. Trust me, Tony, accept it."
"You definitely won't be bored in the days to come."
Seeing Henry's confident expression, Tony finally sighed helplessly.
"All right."
He slammed the tablet heavily on the table.
"Since you've already written the script."
"Then all we actors can do is act alongside you."
He took a deep breath and smiled confidently.
"But I must remind you," his voice became teasing again.
"It must feel great to be the world's president. But you'll have to personally attend all the media interviews, all the hearings, and all the ribbon-cutting ceremonies."
"My job is just to build toys in the lab that can blow up stars."
