Eddie's face was a little stiff, but he immediately gave a perfunctory reply and hung up the video call.
He then replied to Luke, "Boss, Scott should be training at home. I'm sure it's him."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have recognized the signature dish I bought from the restaurant. He added inwardly.
Luke replied that he had received the message and told him to stay on standby.
Eddie shrugged, put down his phone, and continued to prepare … well, set up the dishes.
I better not emphasize that I did it later. What if Annie recognizes it too? He mumbled inwardly.
Luke had already gone downstairs. He quickly circled the street and walked toward Scott Lang, who had taken off his white armor and was still pacing around with a broken expression.
At that moment, Scott's heart was on the verge of collapse.
Why was it always him who was in trouble? It didn't make sense.
Last time, he had only helped the Specter collect some quantum energy to repair her body.
It felt like only a few minutes had passed, but when he came out, he found that his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and wife-to-be were all gray.
Oh, his ex-wife and his ex-wife's husband were also dead.
If it weren't for his daughter, he would have collapsed.
Even so, how could his daughter grow up so quickly?
Asshole, he had promised to spend a happy childhood with his little princess, but she had suddenly become a big princess. Scott almost couldn't hold it in anymore.
But compared with Clint, whose entire family was gray, Scott was undoubtedly lucky.
The little princess had grown up. At the very least, she was his most beloved princess.
Finally, Tony Scott was willing to help complete the theory of entering the quantum domain and returning to a time in the past.
The magnate paid for the new quantum tunnel and quantum armor. Everybody went to three different points in time to collect Infinity Gems and "borrow" them.
Among them, Scott and Tony, Steve, Green Bo … well, Dr. Banner chose New York in 2012.
That was because the Rubik's Cube (Spatial Gem) and Loki's Scepter (Mind Gem) were both in Stark Tower, and the Time Gem (Argonaut's Eye) was in 177A Bleecker Street.
Everyone felt that it was far easier for Tony and Steve to get the two newly captured gems from Iron Man and Captain America in 2012 than it would have been otherwise.
But what was going on now? This was normal, but New York didn't look normal.
Also, where were Tony and the others? Why was he here alone? I'm not an expert in quantum science. At the thought of this, Scott felt like he was about to collapse.
What was even more painful was that because of his father-in-law's disappearance, there was no source of Pim particles.
For this mission, each of them could only use the Quantum Domain twice, which was just enough for a round trip.
Now that he was alone, should he bite the bullet and get the three gems before going back, or should he just go back?
"Hey, bro, you seem to need some help?" A gentle and clear male voice rang out not far away.
Scott looked up and saw a smiling young man.
He opened his mouth, not knowing how to reject this kind-hearted person.
With a smile, Luke pointed at Scott's helmet. "Bro, your uniform is pretty cool. Are you a superhero? Do you know the Dark Knight and the Black Cat Lady? "
“what？” Scott was stunned for a moment before admitting, "Yeah, I'm the superhero Ant-Man. Nice to meet you."
Luke shook his hand. "Ant-Man? I'm sorry I didn't read about you in the papers. I prefer the Dark Knight and Black Catwoman. Death Knell is good too. Iron Man is too low-class. "
Why was DC Comics in the papers? Scott blinked his small eyes in confusion. Also, isn't Iron Man the boss of the Avengers? Why is it low-class in your mouth?
Although he complained inwardly, he somehow calmed down.
Luke pointed at a coffee shop not far away. "I'm very interested in the daily lives of superheroes. How about we chat?"
Scott hesitated. He hadn't decided whether he should look for the gems on his own or return to his universe in 2023.
What was the point of drinking coffee with a stranger?
Luke asked, "Is there something urgent? Do you need to do it right away? Do you need my help? "
Scott's mind, which had already calmed down, suddenly reacted to this question. Wait, why was he in such a hurry? No matter how long he stayed here, it wouldn't affect his return to 2023. Only five seconds would pass there.
So why was he in such a hurry? He could consider the pros and cons before making a decision.
Steal the gems from Stark Tower alone? Don't joke around, he could still go up against the Falcon alone.
Fight the entire Avengers? Sorry, he would be hung up and beaten up by the entire Avengers.
Thinking that way, he felt that it wasn't a bad idea to ask this kind-hearted young man about the situation here first.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even know which year he was in New York — New York couldn't have been so peaceful on the afternoon of May 4th, 2012.
The two of them arrived at the coffee shop, sat in a corner, and chatted.
One was intentional, the other intentional, and the conversation soon got on track.
As they chatted, Scott's mouth couldn't close, and his head was full of questions.
"It's been a few years since the Zetaris invaded?"
"You have Batman here? Uh, he died in the Battle of New York while delivering a peaceful weapon into space? The Dark Knight is Batman's successor? Are you sure his name isn't Nightwing Robin? "
"Catgirl has three-bladed claws? Isn't that Wolverine's thing? "
"Death Knell is actually called Big Dipper, not Wilson?"
"The strongest is the Bat Squad, not the Avengers?"
"And they're on good terms?"
As Luke said one piece of information after another, and even took out his phone to search for various reports online, Scott was completely flustered. What the f * ck? How did he end up in a world with Batman?
Thankfully, Luke told him with certainty that this world didn't have a simple Gotham City, nor did it have any talented people in Arkham.
At the very least, Scott didn't have to worry about a superman falling from the sky and destroying New York.
But why the hell did Batman first debut in sunny Los Angeles?
How could Bruce Wayne, who grew up sunbathing in California, be considered Batman? Shouldn't he be flying around in the cold and damp Gotham?
Also, what kind of Batman was a Dark Knight who didn't crawl into the sewers and send people to Arkham as mental patients?
There were so many things to complain about in this world in 2012 that Scott didn't know what to do.
Even if his mind was in a mess, Scott still had a good impression of Luke.
The information that Luke casually gave him was the background of the era that he needed to understand immediately, which was much more convenient than flipping through the files himself.
Ermmm ~ But it seemed that there were QQ headlines and F2F hotspots here? Many people had compiled detailed timetables for superheroes and major events, which could be found online on their smartphones.
Even if Luke didn't say anything, Scott would find out sooner or later. However, Luke was the one who told him about the hot spots and headlines.
He would remember this favor.
Gradually, it was eight in the evening.
They still hadn't left. Luke simply ordered a fast food delivery and chatted with Scott as they ate.
In the end, Scott felt a little uncomfortable. "Luke, why are you so … um … enthusiastic toward me?"
Luke tilted his head and thought for a moment. "Probably because I like you?"
Scott twisted his short body even more uncomfortably. "Well, bro, I have a girlfriend. She's very hot."
Luke's expression was subtle. "I have a few girlfriends too. They're just as hot."
