"Tony!" x2
Maria and Howard looked sternly at the two Tonys.
"We were just joking, right?"
Tony, being stared at by his parents like that, felt a chill and quickly winked at Future Tony.
"Exactly, this is our unique way of communicating."
Future Tony understood and cooperatively put away his armor.
"Little Tony, you two should get along well. And you, you're already married, why are you still bickering with him? Don't you know what kind of person he is?"
Maria said to Future Tony.
"Little Tony, you're also about to get married, so be more mature. What's the point of fighting with another version of yourself? He's older than you, so from now on, you'll call him 'Brother'."
Maria said to Tony.
"Brother? No way! Also, you're married? Who's the lucky person?"
Tony first refused, then asked curiously.
"Pepper. We also have a daughter."
"A daughter? Do you have photos? Show me."
"Yes, I'll send them to you."
"Friday? Where's your Jarvis?"
"A lot has happened on my side."
Howard nodded in satisfaction, seeing the two Tonys getting along well.
He looked around, searching.
He locked onto a corner and walked over.
Two Steves, one Bucky, one Carter.
"Steve Rogers!"
Howard called out the full name.
Both Steves looked over, and both showed expressions of shame when they saw him.
"Which one is the Steve from the parallel World?"
"Me."
Future Captain America silently stepped forward.
Bang!
Howard punched Future Captain America in the face.
Future Captain America didn't resist at all, letting the next few punches make his nose bleed profusely.
On the other side, the two Tonys' discussion also stopped.
Howard threw a few punches and then stopped, breathing heavily.
"Those punches were for the other me. I understand you wanted to save Barnes, but you shouldn't have hurt Tony. You're still his uncle."
"I'm sorry."
"Hmph, you should say that to Tony."
Howard rubbed his lower back.
"You should be glad I'm old. If I were young, I would have beaten you half to Death, hmph!"
Howard snorted coldly and walked away, supporting his old back.
Future Captain America stood silently in place, blood flowing down his chin from his face.
Steve stepped forward, wanting to say something, but Peggy stopped him and gave Bucky a look.
Your situations are different. Wouldn't you just be adding fuel to the Fire if you tried to comfort him?
Bucky nodded and walked towards Future Captain America.
Tony sighed, "The last time I saw Dad so angry was when I was fourteen and stole his car, crashing it to bits. That was his favorite car."
Future Tony continued, "He beat me with a belt, and I was in bed for three days.
Now that I think about it, Dad wasn't heartbroken over his car; he was afraid of losing us."
"Really?"
"You'll know when you become a father."
Future Tony looked at him.
Full of vigor, carefree, with a happy family.
The me in this World truly makes one envious.
"Are you two still chatting? Go help Howard!"
Hearing them talk about this, Maria felt angry. That incident had scared her unconscious.
"Coming, coming."
"Right away."
In the time that followed, people continued to arrive in the conference room.
Mutant: Charles and others
Demon Group Acting President: Tom and others
President of the U.S.: Matthew
HYDRA: Pierce, Baron Zemo
Science Team: Banner and others
Magic Weapon Squad: Frank and others
Demon Army: Moira, Hulk, Barcelona, Abomination
Parallel Universe: Future Captain America, Future Tony, Ant-Man, Green Dr.
(I didn't miss anyone, right? Most of the Shadow ninjas are on the DC side.)
When everyone was seated,
Richard, wearing the formal attire personally made by Xi, appeared on the scene, with Venom and others behind him. He came to the main seat and sat down.
"Everyone, please sit down! Report on the battle situation. (Future) Tony, you can observe."
"Yes."
The people around also began to take their seats.
Tom stood up.
"I'll go first. In this war, there were 520,000 lightly wounded, 120,000 seriously wounded, and 27,000 fatalities. Fortunately, all have been revived, so there were actually no casualties.
Then, New York has five boroughs. Manhattan and Brooklyn are basically 80% damaged, the Bronx and Queens are 30% damaged, and only Staten Island is perfectly intact."
"These issues will be handled by the President and the Mutant. You will arrange the movement of personnel and reconstruction. This is a good opportunity to gain public favor.
Once you've gained enough favor, you can release some news and bills regarding the Mutant."
Richard said.
"Yes."
Charles nodded excitedly.
"Additionally, Mr. President, thank you for your cooperation during this period. Your clearance level will henceforth be elevated to internal personnel."
"Thank you, Richard… no… Leader!"
Matthew was also overjoyed.
Now he was truly one of their own.
"Richard, I want to ask, what was the purpose of you feigning injury today?"
Tony asked.
"It shouldn't be called a purpose; it's a choice, a choice given to the entire Earth."
Richard said.
"A choice?"
Everyone present looked puzzled.
"Tony, Banner, I ask you, how much of the technological data from a thousand years later that I gave you have you assimilated?"
"A thousand years?"
Everyone present, except Tony, Tom, and the science team including Banner, looked shocked.
"7%. I've been too busy lately, so I haven't had time for it."
Tony scratched his head, understanding what Richard wanted to do.
The technology from a thousand years later didn't have many new inventions; it was more about updates and iterations.
"46%. This is the combined portion that all of us have individually mastered. It will take about two more years to fully assimilate everything."
Banner said.
These materials were confidential. Researchers without internal personnel clearance weren't even qualified to know about them.
Green Dr. watched Banner with envy from the side.
Leading a global corporate laboratory and becoming its representative was something he had always dreamed of, rather than being like this, turning into Green Dr. and having to stay away from crowds.
He then looked at the other muscular version of Banner, or rather, Hulk.
Within a year, Hulk could already control his transformation freely.
Green Dr. touched his stomach with a phantom pain, experiencing the pain of being beaten by Hulk for the first time.
How did they separate? Clones? Consciousness transfer?
"What about the alien database Galan gave you?"
"Alien database?"
Everyone was surprised again, truly understanding just the tip of the iceberg of the Demon Group.
"I only looked at the directory."
Tony suspected that even spending a lifetime wouldn't be enough to learn everything.
"0.002%. That's all of us combined. There are many knowledge systems that are different from Earth's, so we need to start from Zero."
Banner and the others were both happy and pained.
Happy that they could learn alien technology and knowledge.
Pained that when he said starting from Zero, he meant starting from the written language.
"Now there's also Chitauri technology. I'll leave some Chitauri to teach you. You can send people to take over then. Banner, I'll leave this matter for you to arrange."
Richard said.
"Yes."
Banner's spirits lifted.
Having someone teach them would be much faster than figuring things out themselves.
