The man was tall and slender, and he was wearing a T-shirt and casual pants. More importantly, his skin color was no different from a normal person's, unlike before when he looked like he had been painted red.
Illusion nodded. "Hello, Mr. Wilson."
Luke said, "You look much more pleasing to the eye this way."
Illusion lowered his head and looked at his clothes. "Really? I don't know much about this. Walter picked it out for me. "
Luke raised an eyebrow. "She picked it out for you?"
Illusion felt an inexplicable sense of danger, but he didn't know why. "Yes, that's right."
Luke said, "It seems you're getting along very well."
Illusion's sense of danger increased again. "It's alright."
Luke smiled and patted Illusion's shoulder. "I'd like to have a latte. Can I trouble you?"
Illusion was at a loss, but he still nodded. "Okay, Mr. Wilson."
He had a vague feeling that if he didn't go, he might run into some unknown danger.
Thus, he subconsciously chose the fastest route — he flew up and crashed into the wall on the side.
The wall wasn't damaged at all, and Illusion disappeared from the training field.
Luke stroked his neat white beard. "It seems he still doesn't look like a human."
Flying through the wall? That was a classic horror story!
Humans were prone to fear and resistance toward things that looked like a human but weren't. That was part of the uncanny valley theory.
Since there was a valley, there had to be a peak.
Humans might also develop empathy toward such things, like otakus marrying their high-fidelity dolls.
Luke's gaze moved to Walter, who had just stopped in the middle of the training field.
After Stacy's "backstab" and Marcus's "flower on the bar," they weren't pleasant memories for him.
He hadn't stopped Claire from finding a girlfriend, or Lorna from finding a hooligan boyfriend.
But it was a little ridiculous for Walter to find an "intelligent humanoid" as a boyfriend.
Also, it was a big problem if Hallucination would recognize Walter as a "relative".
Although Walter wasn't Luke's daughter or sister, Big Dipper had invested a lot in her.
If this damn Illusion really came up with an "emotional investment," wouldn't that mean that Luke's "investment" in the little witch would be reduced?
On the other side, Pietro noticed Big Dipper at the entrance.
His figure blurred, and he appeared in front of Seven Star. "Wilson, you're here. Do you have a new mission?"
The Big Dipper clone sized him up as he stepped forward. "It's not the end of the world right now. There can't be missions for you every day."
Pietro faced him and walked backwards. "But the Avengers are busy."
Big Dipper: "Who's busy?"
Pietro subconsciously replied: "Clinton (Hawkeye's name), Natasha, and Rhode are very busy. Steve is a bit more free and has to guide us in training every day."
Big Dipper: "Clinton has a wife and children. Do you?"
Pietro, who didn't even have female friends, shook his head in shock.
Big Dipper: "Natasha also has reconnaissance and intelligence gathering duties. Rhode has several positions in the Ministry of Defense and the military. Do you have them?"
The unemployed Pietro continued to shake his head.
Big Dipper stood still. "They're elites, and elites need to be nurtured for a long time. Those who carry out missions every day are cannon fodder."
Pietro, who had regained his confidence, said, "Yes, my sister and I are elites."
The Big Dipper clone was speechless, but didn't attack him again.
The abilities and personalities of this pair of siblings were indeed worthy of being nurtured as elites. Their personalities couldn't be suppressed too much.
When the two of them walked over, the two sparring partners also stopped and walked over.
The unlucky one patted Pietro's head like a good uncle. "Kid, as long as you're willing, I can help you find a place to experience what it's like to be a recruit. Back then, I … "
Pietro's figure blurred, and he stood next to Luke. He looked warily at this old guy who liked to act like an elder. "Hey, Rhode, let's talk nicely. Don't get physical."
Rhode wasn't embarrassed at all. He naturally withdrew his hand and reached out to the Big Dipper clone. "Long time no see, bro."
Luke calmly stretched out his hand, and Rhode calmly gave him a high-five. Then, Rhode calmly hugged him and let him go.
Rhode wasn't strong enough, was a little talkative, and liked to tell cold jokes, but he was still a good person, especially cold jokes.
This was especially true for cold jokes. This suited Big Dipper's taste very well.
Walter watched enviously as the two men played this childish game. She was too embarrassed to do it, nor could she learn it.
Luke nodded at her with a smile and said, "Let's sit down and talk."
At that moment, a figure floated in with a steaming cup of coffee in his hand. It was Vision, who had just finished his latte.
The four of them sat down on chairs next to the French window, and Vision put the coffee down on the table.
For a moment, the other three were silent as they looked at the lonely cup of coffee on the table.
If they said something, it would seem like they were being too calculative.
If they didn't say anything, it would feel weird for everyone to watch one person drink coffee.
Luke, however, was very calm. He picked up his coffee and took a sip. "How's your training?"
As the conversation started, Pietro came and went in an instant to bring back a bottle of water for everyone.
Walter and Pietro were here because Luke had specially entrusted their basic training to the Avengers.
More specifically, he had spent credit points to hire Steve.
The siblings were now reserve members of the Justice League, but they had screwed over the Avengers during the Ultron incident.
If Luke didn't want this knot to become a problem for the two teams, he had to get rid of it from the beginning.
Getting Steve to do it was the best choice.
Given his experience and personality, he wouldn't hold a grudge against two young people who had suddenly repented. Instead, he would try to guide them on the right path and prevent them from using their superpowers to do evil.
As the saying went, the greater the ability, the greater the damage.
These two could be considered existences who could destroy humanity, so it wouldn't hurt to educate them a little more.
On the other hand, America also recognized the teacher-student relationship.
Darren and Dr. Pym's love-hate relationship was proof of how much a teacher and a student loved each other.
It was also very convenient to be the student or teacher of a bigshot in any industry.
Given Steve's special status, as long as Walter and Pietro were his students, the bad debt from the Ultron incident would naturally be written off.
They could use this opportunity to become half members of the Justice League, just like how Tony was both an Avenger and half a member of Bat Squad.
Also, the Avengers were a little "empty" right now.
Green Fatty had left Earth on a spaceship, Natasha was at a low ebb, and Thor had gone home to do the eldest prince's promising job.
Hawkeye had to spend more time with his wife and children, and Tony was busy with research and paying Pepper.
Steve was the only one who was a little more free, and had Illusion with nowhere to go.
The Avengers were really short of manpower.
