The sky gradually darkened, the lights came on, and the bustling New York ushered in a more prosperous nightlife.
Eric did not disturb Skye who was still studying hard, and came to the street alone.
Calculating the time, Eric has adopted Skye for seven years. In seven years, Skye has really changed a lot. From that stubborn, inferior and a little autistic little girl, she has grown into a cheerful, confident and learning-loving girl.
The task of ten sentences a day agreed upon at the beginning is still being insisted on by the two. It can be said that Eric should be the first to make such a big change in Skye.
“I don’t know which university Skye will choose.” That’s right. Under the influence of his genius father and several genius uncles and aunts, the fifteen-year-old Skye has successfully graduated from high school and is choosing his future direction. This result is not as good as Reed, Stark and other evil beings, but it can already be called a little genius.
A sense of pride that my daughter has grown up filled Eric’s chest, making his steps lighter. No matter which university Skye chooses, Eric will support her. He will not interfere with his daughter’s future plans, but will help her behind the scenes when she needs it.
“Huh…” Looking at the noisy night scene of New York, Eric suddenly felt that he was out of place here.
He knew that this was the sequelae of his strength improvement. When he was just an Omega-level mutant, he could still regard himself as a powerful human being, but he felt a little alienated from ordinary people.
As his strength continued to rise, this sense of alienation became stronger and stronger. He has been making unremitting efforts to integrate himself into the crowd. He is very afraid that he will lose his humanity one day.
This time the feeling is more obvious. Looking at the bustling crowd around him, Eric can’t even have a trace of emotional fluctuations.
“This state is not right! I need to adjust my mentality!” Eric patted his cheek, turned around and left, and adjusted his mentality. He has his own way. He is Skye’s safe haven, and Skye is not his panacea?
“Let’s go home to accompany my daughter!”
…
“Mr. Eric, nice to see you!”
The next morning, Howard Stark waited outside Eric’s house, and Barton, who came to open the door, looked at him strangely, thinking that he was here to ask Eric for help.
“Mr. Howard, this is not the first time I see you!” Eric, wearing an apron and a chef’s hat, was making breakfast for Skye, which was very rare.
Although it was just simple fried eggs and toast, Skye was very much looking forward to it, which made her very dissatisfied with Howard for interrupting her breakfast time.
“Mr. Howard, do you want to eat together?” Eric secretly patted his daughter’s shoulder, indicating that he should not argue with him.
“No, thank you, I have eaten with Steve, I will wait for you in the living room.” Howard naturally saw Skye’s dissatisfaction and consciously left the restaurant.
“Haha!” Eric looked at Skye who pretended to be victorious, smiled helplessly, and continued to make his breakfast.
…
“Mr. Eric, I won’t say those useless polite words. Please tell me clearly, what exactly is the purpose of your coming to this universe?” After breakfast, as soon as Eric entered the living room, Howard stared at him and questioned him.
Eric’s eyes fixed, “Have you been to the moon?”
“Obviously!” Howard spread his hands and gave Eric a look that said “I know everything.”
“Well, in this case, our communication will be smoother!” Eric poured Howard a glass of wine and took out a can of Coke.
“I’d like to hear more!” Howard raised his glass to indicate that he was listening attentively.
“My universe was destroyed by a powerful being. I should be the only one who escaped. Before crossing, I didn’t know which universe I would arrive in. I just wanted to live.”
“Live? But your life has brought infinite crises to our universe!” Howard stood up excitedly and pointed at his nose, “I should have died at the hands of the Winter Soldier on December 16, 1992!
Steve should have been dug out in 2008!
Hulk should have been born in 2003!
Tony should have become Iron Man in 2008!
But now, everything has changed! It’s all because of you. Our future has deviated from the original track!”
“The future is unpredictable Every observation will produce a new parallel universe. My arrival has created a new parallel universe…”
Eric tried to convince Howard, but Howard interrupted him directly, “I know more about parallel universes than you do! But this cannot make up for the damage you have done to this universe.”
“Damage? No! It’s salvation! I am saving the world! Howard, you only saw the future Steve told you, but a more exciting future is waiting for us. If everything is the same as before, our only ending will be destruction!”
“A more exciting future? How exciting? This is all your one-sided statement!”
The two of them became more and more excited, and Howard was so excited that his neck turned red.
Eric was not much better. He was panting, his eyes were wide open, and he wanted to punch Howard. He calmed down, took a deep breath, and gave both of them an electromagnetic pulse.
“What is this? Electromagnetic pulse? Using electromagnetic pulse to affect brain hormone secretion? Very good idea.” Howard seemed to have some kind of device on him, and he actually detected Eric’s little skill.
“I can understand Tony’s feelings now. You are really not suitable to be a father!” Eric shook his head and took a big sip of Coke, “Howard, you should believe me.”
“Give me a reason!” Howard looked directly at Eric. Even though he regained his composure, his eyes were still as sharp as a knife.
“We are a shield that protects humans in the known and unknown!” Eric suddenly said this, and Howard’s expression froze instantly.
“How do you know this sentence?”
“In my universe, I was once part of the shield.”
Howard was silent. This was an answer he did not expect. His super brain worked quickly, analyzing every possibility. In the end, he chose to proceed according to his original plan.
“I don’t trust you!” Howard raised his head and stared at Eric, his eyes revealing a dangerous light, “Unless you can prove it to me!”
“Prove what?”
“Prove that you will protect this world and protect mankind!”
Eric raised his eyebrows, “How do you prove this?”
Howard smiled immediately, “It’s very simple, help me do one thing, as long as you succeed, the Holy Shield Brotherhood will accept you! But if you fail, we will wipe you out and then let the world return to normal. You know we can do it!”
“After talking for so long, this is your purpose, right? You want me to make a pledge of allegiance?”
