The side quest of saving Wanda and Pietro was completed, and my ability to summon skeletons had reached the advanced level.
Currently, the number of skeleton warriors I can effectively transform is one thousand!
According to the ratio of this skill, does that mean I can transform ten thousand skeleton warriors in the next stage?
Looking at the system's character panel, Linen thought for a moment.
Finally, he decided that no matter who the real mastermind was, strengthening himself was the most important thing!
Thinking of this, Linen opened the system compilation page.
After this period of interaction, his creation points had increased by fifty, which meant he could still compile five videos!
Three days later, at the Avengers base on Staten Island, inside Wanda's villa.
"Wanda, do you really believe the 'evidence' given by Tony Stark?"
After brewing coffee and placing a cup in front of her, Pietro sat opposite Wanda and said, "Although I don't know how you know these people who call themselves the Avengers…"
"They're even willing to give us such a luxurious place to live, but I don't think there's ever a free lunch in this world!"
"So…"
Before Pietro could finish, Wanda smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know why. But we haven't 'awakened' yet."
"Don't overthink it. After all, there's nothing worth plotting against when it comes to the two of us!"
"It's brother and sister…"
Just as he was about to say "brother and sister," he saw Wanda's eyes and shrugged.
Forget it. If she says it's brother and sister, then it's brother and sister!
"There are some things I can't tell you yet, Pietro. You'll understand sooner or later!"
As she spoke, the villa's AI, Tinas, suddenly announced that Linen had arrived at the Avengers base.
Hearing the reminder, Wanda's eyes lit up. She stood up immediately and prepared to go out.
"Wanda!"
Seeing her reaction, Pietro quickly followed.
Three days ago on the Quinjet, Pietro had already noticed that Wanda's eyes weren't normal when she looked at Linen.
Although Linen had been wearing a mask at that time, giving people a cold and expressionless feeling…
The way Wanda looked at him was… like looking at a lover.
Pietro admitted Wanda was almost eighteen and at the age of falling in love.
But wasn't that the first time they'd met?
And Wanda wasn't someone who lost her composure just because she saw a handsome guy.
Something was wrong. Eleven out of ten things were wrong!
At the square of the Avengers base—
"Is this the rocket you made?"
Seeing the logo [Tony Stark & Linen] printed clearly on the rocket, Linen turned to Tony and smiled. "You're being bold and open about it now?"
Hearing that, Tony Stark shrugged. "I don't have a choice. If I go look for them directly, I'm worried they won't come out to see me."
"I know myself too well. Daddy!"
"When do we leave?"
"I'm waiting for the second round of experimental data."
After circling the rocket once, Tony looked at Linen and said, "Although I can't wait to go to the moon with you right now…"
"We have to go much farther than Earth this time, so I need more testing."
Hearing this, Linen thought about how Tony had taken off in his armor multiple times before without waiting for experimental data.
He nodded anyway.
"What's that look for?"
Seeing Linen's "comforting elder" expression—like he was thinking Tony had finally grown up—Tony felt speechless and flipped him the middle finger.
Damn it, was this guy looking down on him?
As Wanda ran across from her villa, Tony folded his arms and nudged Linen. "Wow, this beautiful girl is definitely here to see you."
"Bro, you really don't want to move in with me? Maybe—"
Before he could finish, Linen tore a seal off the rocket and slapped it over Tony's mouth.
If this guy kept talking, who knew what nonsense he'd spit out next?
"Pfft—pfft—!"
Tony Stark spat several times after tearing the seal off his mouth.
"What are you staring at?"
Steve Rogers, walking over from not far away, followed Tony's gaze.
Seeing Wanda and Linen smiling together not far away, he nodded. "This is youth."
"Come on, my youth was way more exciting than theirs."
Turning to Steve, Tony shrugged. "Want me to tell you about my past?"
"I promise you, it's the passionate, thrilling youth of a brilliant young man—very desirable."
Steve thought for a few seconds, then asked, "Did your youth include Pepper?"
With just one sentence, Steve made Tony fall into a long silence.
"Damn it, Steve, you've picked up bad habits. Were you corrupted by Natasha?"
"Haha!" Steve laughed, patting Tony on the shoulder. "Don't blame Natasha. If I really got 'corrupted,' it must've been by you!"
Watching Wanda and Linen walk slowly along the lawn toward the river, Steve sighed. "One is about to turn eighteen, the other is just twenty. Makes you miss that age."
"I saw your documentary, Steve. Back then, you were skinny and short—"
Before Tony could finish his venomous remark, Steve immediately turned and walked away.
Tony was getting more poisonous with his words. Steve didn't need to guess what he was about to say next!
Time flew by. Early October, inside the Avengers base.
"Wanda, you didn't come back last night!!!"
Seeing Wanda return early in the morning, Pietro stared at her with suspicion.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
Glancing at Pietro, Wanda sat on the sofa, happily scrolling through her phone.
Meanwhile, she was debating whether she should move all her clothes and luggage to Linen's apartment today.
After more than three months together, Wanda was certain that Linen was someone worth dedicating herself to.
So…
"Why are you coughing like that?"
Putting down her phone and seeing Pietro cough deliberately to get attention, Wanda straightened up. "Alright, go on. What do you want to ask?"
"Um… are you and Linen really together?"
"Yes."
She nodded without hiding anything.
"Did you stay at Linen's place last night?"
"Yes."
"But—"
"No buts. I'm not a child anymore!"
The moment she finished speaking, the spoiler system suddenly rang in her mind.
[A new video has appeared. Please enter the viewing room within five minutes!]
Hearing the system prompt, Wanda immediately pretended to yawn. "I didn't sleep well last night. I'm going back to take a nap. Don't disturb me!"
Then she ran back to her room!
Her walking posture was a little awkward.
Pietro suddenly felt a sour pain in his chest. How could he not know what had happened?
The sister he'd raised since childhood had only been with Linen for three months and he—
What a beast!!!
Forget it. As long as my sister is happy and feels blessed… fine…
