"Tony!" x2
Maria and Howard stared sternly at the two Tonys.
"We were just joking, right?"
Tony, feeling a bit unnerved by his parents' intense gaze, quickly signaled to Future Tony.
"Yeah, this is just our unique way of communicating."
Future Tony understood immediately and complied, retracting his armor.
"Little Tony, you two should get along better. And you, you're already married! Why are you still arguing with him? Don't you know who he is?"Maria spoke to Future Tony.
"Little Tony, you're going to get married too. Be more mature. Fighting with another version of yourself? He's older than you; from now on, you should call him 'big brother.'"Maria said to Tony.
"Big brother? No way! Also, you're married? Who's your spouse?"Tony rejected the idea first, then asked curiously.
"Pepper. We even have a daughter now."Future Tony replied.
"A daughter? Do you have any pictures? Show me!"Tony's eyes lit up.
"Yes, I'll send them to you."
"Friday? What happened to your Jarvis?"Tony asked, noticing the absence of Jarvis.
"There's been a lot going on over here."Future Tony replied.
Meanwhile, Howard, watching the two Tonys interact, nodded with satisfaction and then scanned the room.
He locked his gaze on a corner and made his way there.
Two Steves, one Bucky, and Peggy were all there.
"Steve Rogers!"Howard called out.
Both Steves looked over, showing expressions of shame.
"Which one is the Steve from the parallel universe?"
"I am."Future Steve stepped forward silently.
Bang!
Howard punched Future Steve square in the face.
Future Steve didn't resist at all, letting the subsequent punches land, causing his nose to bleed.
On the other side, the conversation between the two Tonys came to a halt.
Howard paused after a few punches, panting.
"These punches are for the other me. I understand you want to save Barnes, but you shouldn't hurt Tony. You're still his uncle."Howard said.
"Sorry."Future Steve muttered.
"Hmph! You should apologize to Tony."Howard grumbled, rubbing his back as he walked away.
Future Steve stood silently, his blood dripping from his chin.
Steve, wanting to say something, was stopped by Peggy, who gestured at Bucky.
"You two are in different situations. If you go to comfort him, it'll just make things worse."Peggy quietly advised.
Bucky nodded and walked over to Future Steve.
Tony sighed, "The last time I saw my dad this angry was when I was fourteen, and I stole his car, wrecking it completely. That was his favorite car."
Future Tony continued, "I got a few spankings with a belt and ended up lying on the bed for three days. Looking back now, I realized he wasn't just mad about the car; he was scared of losing us."
"Really?"Tony asked.
"You'll understand when you become a parent."Future Tony said, glancing at him.
He seemed carefree, with a bright future ahead, a complete and happy family.
The Tony from this world was certainly someone to envy.
"You two, enough with the chatting. Go help Howard!"Maria said irritably, recalling how the incident had once fainted her in the past.
"We're coming! We're coming!"Tony replied.
"Right now."Future Tony said.
Soon, others started arriving in the meeting room.
Mutants: Charles and others.
Demon Corporation's acting president: Tom and others.
The President of the nation: Matthew.
Hydra: Pierce, Baron Zemo.
The Science Team: Banner and others.
Demon Army: Mora, Hulk, Barsa, Abomination.
Parallel Universe: Future Steve, Future Tony, Ant-Man, Doctor Green.
(There shouldn't be anyone missing, as most of the Shadow Ninjas are in the DC universe.)
After everyone took their seats, Chino, wearing a dress made by Xixi, arrived, followed by Venom and others. They took their seats at the main table.
"Sit down, everyone! Let's report on the situation of this war. (Future) Tony, you can just listen in."Chino instructed.
"Yes."The others agreed and settled down.
Tom stood up first.
"I'll start. This time, the war resulted in 520,000 light injuries, 120,000 serious injuries, and 27,000 deaths. Fortunately, all of them have been saved. In fact, no casualties occurred."
"Then, as for New York, there are five administrative districts. Manhattan and Brooklyn are 80% destroyed, Bronx and Queens are 30% destroyed, but Staten Island remains untouched."Tom continued.
"Handling these issues will be up to the President and the Mutants. You'll coordinate the movement of people and the rebuilding. You can take the opportunity to make your faces known to the public."
"Once the work is done, you can announce the mutant news and legislation."Chino ordered.
"Yes."Charles nodded excitedly.
"Also, President Matthew, thanks for your cooperation during this time. Your level is now promoted to internal personnel."Chino added.
"Thank you, Chino... No, Leader!"Matthew said joyfully.
Now, he was truly part of the group.
"Chino, I want to ask, what was the purpose of faking your injury today?"Tony asked.
"It shouldn't be called a purpose, but rather a choice. A choice for the entire Earth."Chino responded.
"A choice?"Everyone in the room looked confused.
"Tony, Banner, let me ask you, how much of the technology from 1,000 years into the future that I gave you have you processed?"Chino inquired.
"1,000 years?"Except for Tony, Tom, Banner, and the others from the Science Team, everyone else looked shocked.
"7%. I've been too busy lately, haven't had the time."Tony scratched his head, now understanding what Chino meant.
The technology from 1,000 years into the future didn't include many new inventions, but more updates and iterations.
"46%. This is the total amount we've all processed so far. To fully digest it will take about two more years."Banner responded.
These materials were classified, and only those with internal personnel clearance were allowed to study them.
The Green Doctor, sitting nearby, looked enviously at Banner.
Leading a global corporation's lab, becoming a representative of the group—that was his dream. Instead, he had become the Green Doctor, far from the people. He looked at the muscle version of Banner—no, Hulk—and sighed.
In one year, Hulk had already gained complete control over his transformations.
The Green Doctor rubbed his abdomen, feeling the pain Hulk had caused him.
They had been separated somehow—cloning? Consciousness transfer?
"What about the alien data library given to you by Ganata?"Chino asked.
"Alien data library?"Everyone looked even more shocked, realizing that they were learning just the tip of the iceberg about the Demon Corporation.
"We've only seen the catalog."Tony responded, suspecting that even if he spent his whole life, he wouldn't finish studying it.
"0.002%. That's the total amount everyone has processed so far. It's filled with knowledge systems different from Earth's. We need to start from scratch."Banner said, both excited and frustrated.
The excitement came from learning alien technology and knowledge.
The frustration came from the fact that "starting from scratch" meant they had to begin with the alphabet.
"Now, with the Qiratans' technology, I've left some of them here to teach you. When the time comes, you can send people to take over. Banner, this is your responsibility to arrange."Chino ordered.
"Yes."Banner replied with renewed vigor.
Having someone to teach them would make the process much faster than trying to figure things out on their own.
