After reaching a consensus, although Bill Foster and Hank still disliked each other, under the efforts of common goals, they reluctantly showed their professional qualities and began to work together to study the quantum field.
In the hope of finding a way to freely enter and exit the quantum realm in the shortest possible time, and then rescue Janet and heal Ava.
Since the academic sharing meeting in Wakanda will last for some time, they all stayed in Hank's laboratory temporarily and would move to Wakanda after everything was over.
Hank was very reluctant at first, but when the scientific research equipment that was difficult to buy when they were hiding was delivered to his laboratory one after another, he immediately put all his concerns behind him.
Although he has accumulated some assets over the years, it is obviously nothing compared to Wakanda, the richest country in the world. Otherwise, why do most scientific researchers habitually want to curry favor with others? After all, a good cook cannot cook without rice.
The greater the potential of scientific and technological research, the more astronomical the funds required.
For the sake of confidentiality, the fewer people who know where Hank and the others are now, the better. So after Scott stayed behind to cooperate with the experiment, Dio and Ava were responsible for transporting equipment and supplies. Anyway, they were both "useless" people.
After delivering the last batch of equipment needed for the experiment, it was already dark. Dio said hello to Scott, asked him to keep in touch at any time, and then prepared to leave.
But just as he started the engine, a figure suddenly appeared in the passenger seat next to him.
"After you are cured with quantum energy, there is a high probability that you will lose the ability to switch freely between reality and illusion, so I think you should learn to adapt to opening and closing doors from now on instead of just passing through them."
Dio glanced at Ava helplessly.
"I think it will take me a long time to get used to walking through the front door after I'm cured of my illness."
"Don't you believe they can cure you? Sometimes being too pessimistic will only bring trouble to others." Dio reminded her meaningfully.
After hearing this, Ava smiled unmoved. "It's not that I don't believe it, but I've been disappointed too many times. Every time someone promised to cure me, I felt like I had grabbed the last straw, but time and time again, I always ended up with despair. You won't understand the feeling of watching death envelop you step by step. If I fail again this time, I think I will completely collapse."
"Then you should let yourself live longer, until they come up with the research results." Dio really didn't understand the pain she was suffering, but he knew that ordinary persuasion was useless, and she could only rely on herself to persevere.
When you wait, you will live.
Can't wait, disappear.
It's that simple.
"Let's go."
"Where are you going? I'll take you there."
"Hotel, your home or...whatever."
Dio pulled out the key immediately after hearing this, then turned his head seriously to look at Ava who seemed to be dressed up carefully and said, "Sorry, I have a girlfriend."
"So what? For someone who doesn't know when he will disappear completely, would he care about this?"
"I can."
The car suddenly fell silent. Dio rolled down the window, lit a cigarette, and enjoyed the evening breeze.
Until Ava smiled bitterly and said, "I should be the one to say sorry. My short life is too monotonous and boring. It seems that this colorful world has no room for me. I have too many things I want to try in this limited life..."
Looking at Ava's confused eyes, Dio roughly knew what she was afraid of and what kind of mental journey she was going through.
I have to say that she is very strong as she has been able to hold on until now without going crazy.
"It's obvious that Bill cares about you very much. He should treat you as his own daughter, so you should trust him, just like he has always believed in you without reservation."
Hearing Bill's name, Ava finally woke up from her confusion and numbness, and her eyes became more lively.
"You're right. I shouldn't be so pessimistic. I'm leaving now. If you change your mind at any time, you can come find me. But you have to wait until I'm fully recovered. I'm actually quite curious."
After saying that, Ava showed a rare playful smile on her face, and then she wanted to leave through the car door, but she immediately reacted, opened the car door, and walked out.
Dio also shook his head and laughed, then reinsert the key, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.
. . . . . . . . .
At the same time, on a high-rise building in Queens, New York, Peter Parker was chattering on his cell phone.
"Hey, Happy! This is the report I made tonight. I stopped a bike thief, but I couldn't find the owner, so I left a note."
"Uh... I also helped a lost old lady from the Dominican Republic, she was very nice and bought me a churro..."
"I feel like I can do more, and I'm curious about what our next mission will be."
"Huh, that's it, remember to call me back."
After leaving the message, Spider-Man sighed helplessly. He wanted to accomplish something big, just like he did in Germany, dealing with super Avengers like Captain America. But all the things happening around him were trivial, and Happy simply ignored his enthusiasm. He sent thousands of text messages and made at least one phone call every day, but there was no response.
He once suspected that Happy had blocked his number, but he immediately denied it himself.
"Mr. Stark thinks highly of me!"
It's impossible that he would hold a grudge against Happy just because he said that Happy looked a bit like the greasy middle-aged fat uncle who gave him an expired egg pancake when they first met.
Although Happy has a bad temper, is always angry, and snores when he sleeps, Peter believes that anyone who can stay with Mr. Stark must be a good person!
Yeah, that's right!
It must be because I haven’t passed Mr. Stark’s test yet, so I can only do small fights on the streets of New York every day.
After I accomplish something great on my own, Mr. Stark will definitely look at me with admiration and let me join the Avengers!
Come on, Peter, you can do it!
As soon as the little spider wolfed down the fried cakes that the Dominican grandmother gave him, he immediately became full of fighting spirit and started swinging on the spider silk.
Just like that, not long after, he discovered that the 'big case' he had been waiting for seemed to have occurred in a remote alley!
