Ants and shoes—a metaphor for Loki's first encounter with Nick Fury!
Because in Loki's mind, he is a god, a shoe.
And the people of Earth are merely ants that can be crushed under that shoe at any moment!
At least, that's what he believed before the Avengers defeated him with their own hands.
So, when Loki took control of Barton and Dr. Selvig and escaped with the Tesseract,
Nick Fury pushed himself up from the ground with his arms: "Really not cute at all!"
Standing up and looking at the surrounding chaos, with many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents knocked to the ground,
"So, this Loki, who claims to be a god of Asgard, also needs to go through repeated, painful lessons before he can become the 'good person' recorded in the Black Gold Diary?"
"But this 'good person' really needs to be in quotation marks!"
Muttering to himself, Nick Fury took out his phone and called Hill: "Hill, Clint and Dr. Selvig have been taken by that self-proclaimed god, Loki."
"Find a way to immediately locate the group led by Su and form them into the Avengers!"
While speaking, Nick Fury looked up at the underground research chamber, where cracks were continuously appearing: "Motherf--ker."
After cursing, Nick Fury ran straight outside.
At the same time.
"What?"
After receiving the call from Hill, Natasha Romanoff, who was having dinner, suddenly turned serious: "I understand!"
After hanging up, Natasha Romanoff reached out and rubbed Wanda and Pietro's heads with a smile: "Big sister has some work to do, so I need to find Su and the others to solve it together."
"Anyway, school is on break now. I'll put the food in the refrigerator for you; just take it out and heat it up."
"Also, there's some money in the drawer. If you don't feel like eating the food from the fridge, you can order takeout."
"Oh, and in a few months, you'll be sixteen and able to take the driver's test. I've already reserved a car. After your sixteenth birthday and once you pass the test, you'll have your own car!"
Hearing Natasha Romanoff's words, Wanda and Pietro nodded.
But the two looked at Natasha Romanoff with a hint of worry.
After all, from her tone, it seemed quite serious. Was it dangerous?
"Don't worry, it's fine. Besides, everything was expected!"
After ruffling Wanda and Pietro's hair, Natasha Romanoff got up and headed to Su Che's villa!
Watching their big sister leave, Pietro looked at the dinner on the table: "Big sister still treats us like kids. We're almost sixteen!"
"That's normal. After all, big sister is our guardian. Even when we're twenty or thirty, we'll still be kids in her eyes!"
Wanda picked up her food and took a bite, then seemed to remember something.
Her face warmed slightly, and she said softly, "We're really not kids anymore."
"You didn't stay home these past few days; you went straight to Su's place to spend the night."
Putting down his utensils, Pietro turned to look at Wanda seriously: "Wanda, as your big brother, I think we need to have a good talk. After all—"
Before he could finish, Pietro saw Wanda staring blankly at him.
After a brief silence,
Pietro nodded firmly: "Fine, you're the older sister. As long as you're happy."
What could he do?
He only had this one little sister. If he didn't spoil her, who would?
Seeing Pietro's expression, Wanda couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, it's fine."
"Don't worry, Pietro. I know what I want, and what I should and shouldn't do."
"Hmph, as if you know!"
Muttering under his breath, Pietro went back to eating his dinner.
Inside Su Che's Villa
"Why the long face?"
Looking at Su Che, Natasha Romanoff crossed her arms and said, "I just got a call from Hill. She said a self-proclaimed Asgardian prince named Loki stole the Tesseract from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Dark Matter Research Base!"
"And this guy used something like a mind-control scepter to take Barton and Dr. Selvig with him!"
At this point, Natasha Romanoff turned serious: "So, Su, Nick Fury hopes we can help. After all, judging by the information Loki revealed,"
"this could very well be Earth's first official war with aliens!"
Seeing Natasha Romanoff's serious expression,
Su Che nodded slightly.
But he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at the moon outside, a trace of melancholy in his eyes, and said, "Nat, do you know what day it is today?"
"Something special? Isn't Christmas over?"
"Today is Chinese New Year!"
Turning to look at Natasha Romanoff, Su Che leaned back on the sofa and said softly, "Over there, [today is the most important day of the year. It's also the most important among all festivals.]"
"By tradition, on this day every year, all our family members gather together."
"I just never thought Loki would choose today to come!"
To be honest, it had been almost a year since he arrived in this world.
Ordinary days were fine.
But on Chinese New Year, Su Che truly couldn't suppress the longing in his heart!
Forcing down this nostalgia, because the enemy's movements were unpredictable, he began to let his thoughts wander.
Hmm!
This year, Captain America was discovered ahead of schedule and thawed out early.
This year, Thor was exiled early and picked up Mjolnir ahead of time.
It seemed this also caused Loki in Asgard to complete the murder of Laufey ahead of schedule.
But Thor was on Earth at the time—how did Loki fall from the Bifrost?
(Odin couldn't have done it himself and forced Loki to jump, could he?)
Seeing Su Che lost in thought, Natasha Romanoff assumed he was thinking about his original world.
Yes, Chinese New Year!
According to Su, this was the most important day of the year.
It was also a day for family reunions.
So it was natural for him to miss his world!
Walking over without a word, Natasha Romanoff simply held Su Che gently.
He was alone in this world, but so was she, wasn't she?
Yelena... well!
"Let's go find Steve, and Dr. Banner."
Seeing the comfort in Natasha Romanoff's eyes, Su Che smiled.
Soon, the calm and wisdom he always carried returned.
At least, in Natasha Romanoff's eyes, Su Che had always been this calm and wise!
