Everything was resolved perfectly.
Both the Avengers, who had sworn to protect the Infinity Stones, and the Future Avengers, who had sworn to seize them, had each received satisfactory answers.
"Everyone, I imagine you must be very tired?"
"I've prepared rooms for you. If you don't mind, you can rest first."
After both sides reached an agreement, Nick Fury "warmly" extended an invitation to the Future Avengers.
Of course, that was just for show.
Nick Fury's true objective was twofold. Firstly, he naturally wanted to completely control the whereabouts of these Future Avengers.
After all, for their universe, these individuals with immense power were potential threats.
They had to be under his control.
Secondly, Nick Fury also wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about the future from the Future Avengers.
"No."
Captain America from the future shook his head. "We don't need to rest, and considering our respective positions, it's best if we limit our contact."
Before time-traveling, the Future Avengers had reached a consensus: aside from getting the stones, they would not interfere with or change the past!
This was the iron rule of time travel.
Because any impact or alteration to the past would create time branches, the emergence of multiple realities.
Even after the victory in the final battle, when Captain America traveled back in time to return the Infinity Stones, Banner had also earnestly instructed him to return the stones to their original moments without any deviation.
This was because any minor influence or change to the past was fatal.
Under these circumstances, meeting and cooperating with their past selves was already a last resort, as they had indeed alerted their past selves.
But beyond that, the Future Avengers wanted to minimize their impact and changes to this world.
"That's right, we shouldn't contact them unless it's absolutely necessary."
Future Banner also nodded, solemnly agreeing with Future Captain America.
What else could Nick Fury say? He couldn't exactly forcibly abduct the Future Avengers. Next, both sides communicated some necessary matters and quickly reached an agreement.
The subsequent actions would focus on finding new Pym Particles, and this operation would be the sole responsibility of the Avengers.
The Future Avengers just needed to stay put and wait. They were not allowed to move freely within everyone's timeline, nor were they allowed to do anything.
If it became necessary to deploy the Future Avengers, then any actions they took would be under the surveillance of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Furthermore, if the search for Pym Particles ended in failure—though the likelihood was small—they had still formulated a backup plan.
If the search for Pym Particles failed, then both sides would cooperate to research Pym Particles, or something else that could replace them.
In short, they would help the Future Avengers travel to other parallel universes.
"Well, I wish you all the best."
The Future Captain America said these words to the Avengers before signaling his companions to leave.
Of course.
Because they had reached an agreement with the Avengers, the Future Avengers didn't hide their movements.
Instead, they walked openly in the sunlight.
They knew that their every move would be monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D. in this timeline.
But this was a necessary compromise, so there was nothing to say.
The Avengers also left.
The first thing Nick Fury did wasn't to immediately mobilize S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources to help the Future Avengers find Pym Particles.
Instead, he made a series of arrangements to keep a close eye on the Future Avengers, monitoring their every move.
Secondly, he began to make arrangements to investigate the matter of the Pym Particles.
Because through the diary's spoilers, the bald-headed director already knew that the Pym Particles were something Hank had created.
Therefore, this kind of investigation wasn't difficult for Nick Fury at all.
Moreover, Tony also used Jarvis to assist.
After all, Tony also wanted to get those "uninvited guests" from the other universes gone as soon as possible.
As soon as possible.
In this situation, efficiency was quite high.
In just half a day, everyone had grasped the key clues.
Following that lead would definitely yield results.
Nick Fury and Tony made subsequent arrangements based on the current intelligence.
Everything was proceeding systematically.
"Sir, we have a 'visitor from outer space.'"
While the investigation into the Pym Particles was progressing well, the ever-reliable Coulson once again knocked on the director's office, bringing Nick Fury a piece of news.
"It's Thor."
"He just appeared near our base."
Even before Coulson could explain further, Nick Fury instantly understood.
Thor must be here for Loki!
Why else would Thor, who had been away from Earth for so long, suddenly appear when Loki was captured?
And right near the base where Loki was being held?
The implications were obvious.
However, considering Thor was also a diary holder and knew what Loki had done, Nick Fury wasn't overly worried about Thor's "visit."
In fact, Nick Fury had been struggling with how to deal with Loki, and Thor's arrival was actually quite timely!
"Get Thor settled in, and tell him I'll be there shortly."
Nick Fury didn't waste any time and immediately gave Coulson the order.
"Understood, sir!"
Coulson immediately took the order and left.
Nick Fury didn't delay either. He quickly handled the matters at hand and put on his awesome, signature trench coat.
His figure then disappeared from the office.
He appeared at another base with the fastest speed, appearing before Thor.
"Nick Fury, my friend, we meet again."
Thor couldn't help but reveal a genuine smile upon seeing Nick Fury appear.
Back when Thor was locked up in a mental hospital, it was Nick Fury who bailed him out.
He even helped Thor fight the Destroyer, helping him pick up his hammer and all.
So, the relationship between Thor and Nick Fury is much better now than it was in the movies.
Thor genuinely considered Nick Fury, this old… well, you know, a friend.
"Last time you left in a hurry, how are the Nine Realms? Everything alright?"
Nick Fury also started to greet Thor.
"The Nine Realms are not doing well."
Thor shook his head, not hiding anything from Nick Fury. "The Bifrost is still broken, and the Nine Realms are in turmoil because of it. I've been busy putting down rebellions for the past two years."
"What happened, Thor?"
Nick Fury frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Thor had obtained the diary before returning to Asgard.
Yet, nothing had changed?
"I was late," Thor said, shaking his head, a hint of sadness on his face. "When I returned, the Bifrost was broken, and Loki had fallen into the abyss of space."
However, the conflict between Odin and Loki was a family matter, and a source of regret for Thor.
Thor didn't offer any further explanation to Nick Fury.
Being as perceptive as he was, Fury wouldn't pry further into the matter, either.
"I assume you're here about Loki, aren't you?"
After a brief greeting, Nick Fury got straight to the point with Thor.
Thor's expression turned serious, and he nodded in agreement.
"Just a few days ago, Heimdall spotted Loki on Midgard. He's here for the Tesseract, isn't he?"
Thor asked with certainty.
"So, for now, we've got him locked up here. I hope you don't mind."
Fury shrugged.
"He brought this upon himself."
Thor didn't blame Nick Fury for this, showing a degree of understanding.
"But regardless, he's still my brother. Can I see him?"
Then, Thor asked Nick Fury this question.
Such a reasonable request, of course, the Egghead couldn't refuse.
He even personally led Thor, bringing him to Loki.
"Thor?"
"What are you doing here?"
Loki, behind the glass, was stunned when he saw Thor.
"Don't you dare ask?"
Thor rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed.
If it weren't for that wretched Loki causing trouble on Midgard, would he, the great Thor, have to go through all this trouble to come to Earth?
"I won't disturb you two brothers."
Nick Fury's voice cut through the air.
He was smart enough to turn and leave, leaving Thor and Loki to sort things out.
What they talked about, Nick Fury had no idea.
But about twenty minutes later, Thor reappeared before Nick Fury.
"Nick, I'm taking Loki back to Asgard."
"I sincerely apologize for what he did to you. Believe me, he will pay for it. I will see that he is brought to justice."
Thor spoke earnestly to Nick Fury about dealing with Loki.
This was exactly what Nick wanted.
He couldn't wait to get rid of Loki, this hot potato.
After all, the longer such a character stayed on Midgard, the more risk Nick had to bear.
"How you handle Loki is your business."
"I only care about one thing. This time, please keep a close eye on Loki. Don't let him appear on Midgard again!"
Nick Fury sternly instructed Thor.
Thor could only offer an awkward laugh in response.
"Besides that, there's the Tesseract, pal!"
Following that, Thor made this request to Nick Fury.
This time, besides bringing Loki back, Odin had given Thor another task: to retrieve the Tesseract he had placed on Midgard long ago, to repair the destroyed Bifrost.
The rebellion in the Nine Realms had been going on for nearly two years, and Thor had already made a name for himself.
Odin felt it was time to end it.
Fury was clearly hesitant.
With his personality, Fury really didn't want to just hand over something as valuable as the Tesseract to Asgard.
However, even though Nick Fury was greedy, he was also a man who always maintained his rationality.
The Tesseract was a good thing, but it also meant immense risk.
The Future Avengers, for example, were not a concern; they were powerful, but at least they weren't bad guys.
But Thanos was another matter entirely, and that forced Nick Fury to consider things carefully.
Since Thanos had his eye on the Tesseract, and Loki's actions had failed, who could guarantee that he wouldn't take further action? And given Earth's current situation, could it handle such a threat?
Could it withstand such a risk?
So, after weighing all the factors, Nick Fury made the same decision as before: to hand the Tesseract over to Thor.
This way, the Infinity Stone would still be in the hands of the Avengers.
But the risks were all transferred to Asgard.
That's that.
Half an hour later.
Under the witness and supervision of the original Avengers, Nick Fury officially handed Loki over to Thor.
Loki was extremely unwilling, although he was depressed to death, racking his brains to try to do something to turn things around.
However, with so many Avengers, plus his cheap older brother, this power could be said to have Loki completely under control.
Loki simply couldn't stir up any waves.
"Farewell, everyone."
After greeting Nick Fury and the original Avengers, Thor activated the Tesseract.
Whoosh!
A flash of light enveloped both him and Loki.
When the light dissipated, the figures of Thor and Loki were gone as well.
Whew!
Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Both the diary holders and the non-holders.
No matter what, Loki's trouble was considered resolved.
So, for everyone now, there was only one remaining problem: the Future Avengers!
And this problem, frankly, wasn't much of a problem anymore.
Tony, working with Nick Fury, managed to steal enough Pym Particles from Darren Cross in just one week.
He handed them over to several of the Future Avengers.
Of course, whether he gave them all of it, or kept some for himself, Nick Fury wasn't saying.
"It's Pym Particles!"
"Great! Our plan can continue!"
When they received the Pym Particles, the future Avengers were all both surprised and delighted.
God knows, although seven days wasn't long, it really had made the future Avengers anxious.
They were even tempted to take action themselves.
Fortunately, the Avengers of the past were still reliable enough.
They successfully handed over the crucial Pym Particles to them.
Now, the future Avengers, who had been waiting impatiently, wasted no time.
During these seven days, they had already figured out which time period they wanted to travel to.
"Everyone, it's a pleasure working with you."
"Also, thank you for everything you've done."
After greeting the Avengers, the future Avengers immediately activated their devices and vanished.
Whoosh!
With a flash of light, the future Avengers were gone.
Well, that's that.
The two big problems that had been weighing on the minds of the Avengers were both solved.
Everyone felt a lot more relaxed.
After exchanging greetings, they all went their separate ways.
"Sir, the Diary has updated again."
And as Tony had just returned to his luxurious villa, Jarvis immediately relayed this prompt.
"I understand."
Tony replied casually and opened the Diary at once, flipping to the latest page.
Sure enough, new content had appeared on it.
[Loki has been captured for some time, and Thor has been on Earth for a while, but the whole of New York has been peaceful, with no disturbances!]
[Could it be that the Battle of New York has been stopped?]
[It makes sense; S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers aren't fools. The Tesseract was stolen once; how could it be stolen a second time?]
[So, the Battle of New York in this universe was just Loki getting beaten up by me?]
[Congratulations, New York, you've survived a disaster!]
[Congratulations, Coulson, you don't have to be stabbed to death by Loki anymore.]
[And you won't have to suffer that inhuman pain, the pain of begging others to kill you, only to be resurrected by S.H.I.E.L.D..]
[Haha, Coulson is probably the most miserable employee in history, right? He died and was resurrected by Nick Fury to keep working!]
[But if that's the case, then that special agent team under Coulson probably won't exist, will it?]
[What a pity, there were quite a few big shots there!]
[Especially Quake, who should be the strongest S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in history, right? She's someone who can even shatter the Earth!]
