A perfectly fine living person couldn't just evaporate into thin air, could they?
Su Modie immediately closed her eyes, using her mental connection to sense the specific location of this incarnation.
Meanwhile.
Jinx, who had been sleeping soundly, was slowly woken up by the commotion Lux and Su Modie were making in her head.
She sat up groggily, let out a long yawn, and opened her eyes in confusion.
What met her eyes wasn't the underground Inventory, but a vast space that also reeked of engine oil and metallic rust.
She found herself lying on top of a mountain of trash!
No... wait, this wasn't an ordinary junkyard.
Jinx rubbed her eyes and took a closer look.
The things piled up like small mountains all around her were her Chitauri remains. Even more absurdly, the suit components she had spent half the night painstakingly researching, and even the complete Vulture Suit, were all stuck haphazardly into these piles of scrap metal.
As a cold wind blew, the last bit of Jinx's sleepiness vanished.
She finally realized what was happening.
"Holy crap, where the heck is this?"
She yanked off the goggles and noise-canceling headphones she was wearing.
With a face full of shock, she jumped down from the workbench and began to look around.
Suddenly, she spotted a rusty metal ladder embedded in the bulkhead not far away.
Jinx quickly scrambled up, poking half her head out, and found a dim metal corridor above.
The door to the cabin at the end of the corridor was half-open, and bursts of crude laughter and shouting could be heard from inside.
Jinx crouched low and sneaked along the wall, peeking inside with one eye.
There were several strange-looking aliens.
Some had dark red skin with short bony horns on their heads, while others had crude mechanical prosthetic eyes embedded in their faces. Most wore heavily worn dark leather jackets, drinking and laughing loudly in a gibberish language she couldn't understand at all.
What on Earth were these things?
Far away on Earth, Su Modie saw this scene, and her heart skipped a beat as she made a judgment.
Wow, these guys couldn't be Ravagers, could they?
The so-called Ravagers were a massive interstellar criminal organization with a diverse membership consisting of space pirates, smugglers, thieves, mercenaries, and bounty hunters, who spent the year drifting between various Planets in the Universe to commit crimes.
Which meant—
Jinx's peripheral vision inadvertently glanced toward the porthole on the side of the corridor.
With just one look, she froze in place.
Outside the porthole, there was no sky or clouds, only a deep, boundless darkness dotted with a brilliant sea of stars.
Which meant Jinx was currently in freaking outer space?!
Su Modie was stunned, and Jinx herself was dumbfounded.
Where did she end up after a nap? Was she even still in the country?
Not to mention Jinx, this was the first time any of Su Modie's incarnations had left Earth and gone into outer space.
For a moment, tension and excitement each took up half of the Villainesses' emotions.
Lux was the first to panic: "Sister Mo Die, hurry up and [Recall] Jinx! Outer space is just too dangerous!"
But this suggestion was flatly rejected by Jinx, who was in the middle of the danger: "Don't! Definitely don't!"
"I want to see what these alien freaks are up to, daring to steal our things!"
"Besides, the suit we worked so hard on and that pile of scrap metal are all on this ship." Jinx muttered in a low voice while crouching in the shadows, "Pulling me out now? We can't just give these things to these thieves for nothing, right?"
Su Modie calmed down and thought about it; that did make sense.
If she [Recalled] Jinx and let these Ravagers dive into the vast Universe...
Then finding those Chitauri remains and the Vulture Suit again would truly be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Su Modie began to reflect; in her memory, Yondu and his foster son Star-Lord were originally Ravagers.
However, the Ravagers were not a monolith but were split into nearly a hundred different factions, each led by a leader.
Jinx observed carefully for a while but didn't see any features on those people that Su Modie found familiar.
This was clearly just an ordinary Ravager crew.
But here was the question: Ravagers weren't frequent visitors to Earth.
Why would these interstellar vagrants come all this way to ransack Fisk's Underground Room and kidnap Jinx while they were at it?
Could it be... they were after Chitauri technology?
That was quite likely.
To be honest, the name "Ravagers" sounded intimidating, but the low-level Ravagers were actually no different from "interstellar scavengers." In a sense, they could be considered Toomes's counterparts in the Universe.
Jinx felt a wave of bewilderment. What kind of karma was this? Why did she always end up tangled with scavengers?
But then she reconsidered, and images of her messing around in the Inventory earlier flashed through her mind.
That Chitauri Signal Transmitter Panel she had fixed...
Could that be the thing that attracted these interstellar junk kings?
Jinx pressed her hand to her forehead in frustration and then decisively shifted the blame: "It's all Lux's fault! She just had to take me for coffee that day!"
In the Inventory, Lux was left completely bewildered.
So this could be blamed on her?
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!
Lux stamped her feet in anger.
She had kindly invited this socially anxious girl for coffee to relax, and now this blame was being pinned on her?
"Fine then!"
Lux snapped back irritably, "In that case, I'm never checking on you again! Just play by yourself!"
Jinx, who had just been teasing, was stunned by Lux's huffy tone.
Is... is she really angry?
Jinx immediately dropped her nonchalant attitude and hurried to soften her tone and apologize, her voice carrying a hint of panic:
"Oh, oh, I was just joking! Little Lightbulb, don't be mad. I was wrong, okay?"
Su Modie couldn't help but chuckle as she listened to the interaction between the two young girls.
But now clearly wasn't the time for bickering; she had to come up with a plan to get Jinx and the stolen items back together.
Su Modie asked in her mind what plans the two of them had.
After all, no matter how much she threw her weight around in New York, going into space was a first for her.
No Villainess had ever been to space before.
Lux said she was angry, but she still raised her hand wearing the Sling Ring and tried to draw circles in the air.
But the magic sparks only flickered a few times before weakly dissipating. Opening a portal to a spaceship with unknown coordinates that was still moving was clearly beyond her current capabilities.
Lux's portal wouldn't work...
Jinx leaned against the metal wall and thought for a moment. Her eyes darted around, and a flash of inspiration hit her.
"Got a plan?" Su Modie asked.
Jinx shook her head quite bluntly: "Nope."
She said she didn't have one, but as soon as the words left her mouth, under the shocked gazes of Su Modie and Lux, Jinx jumped out from the corner and swaggered to the cabin door, even waving enthusiastically to the aliens: "Hi, how are you guys doing?"
Lux looked aghast: "Powder, what are you doing?"
This didn't just scare Lux; it also gave the Ravagers drinking inside quite a start.
