At night, Tony Stark and Ethan were playing chess.
"You still haven't told me where you're from," Tony Stark asked.
Ethan stared intently at the board, holding the dice in his right hand, and replied, "A small town from Gemira, it's a very nice place."
"Do you have family?" Tony Stark continued to ask.
"Yes, I'm going to see them when I leave here. What about you, Stark?" Ethan replied.
Tony Stark paused, looked at Ethan, then pursed his lips, picked up a chess piece, and placed it on the board, answering with a heavy heart.
"I don't have family."
"None?" Ethan confirmed, looking at Tony Stark's expression, then nodded and said.
"So, you have everything."
"But you have nothing."
Tony Stark smiled helplessly with his head down after hearing that, looking at Ethan without speaking.
A loud "boom" interrupted their conversation.
The two looked at each other, and Tony Stark immediately put a finger to his lips, signaling Ethan to be quiet.
The two began to listen carefully.
They faintly heard sounds from outside: "Enemy attack! There are enemies! Eliminate the enemies!"
"Tut-tut... tut-tut" They also heard sounds similar to gunshots and explosions.
"I also heard, 'Stark, where are you?'"
And they heard music.
"It seems like someone's here to save you. It looks like you're not without people who care about you. It's just... why do I hear music? Am I mistaken?" Ethan smiled, looking at Tony Stark as he spoke.
"Perhaps," Tony Stark shrugged, and the first person he thought of was Pepper Potts.
That's right, on the other side were Chen Ye and his group, along with a dog.
The story begins half an hour ago.
"Woof... I smell a lot of living people in the valley ahead," Deadpool Dog suddenly said, facing the valley.
"It seems the armed group's base is up ahead. Let's pick up the pace, I don't want to spend the night here," Chen Ye said.
"Damn it, we finally found them! They made us search for ages! They must be made to witness the might of My Lord Deadpool. If I stayed one more day, I'd be cooked!" Deadpool said, drawing his twin blades from his back and twirling them.
"Everyone stay put, just watch my performance!"
"Let's speed up, I'll go ahead first." Pietro impatiently put on his goggles, clearly annoyed after a day in the desert, completely forgetting Chen Ye's request not to use superpowers.
With a "whoosh," Quicksilver disappeared.
Seeing Quicksilver disappear, Chen Ye took out a pair of goggles from his trench coat and said, "See you in a bit," to Deadpool and Deadpool Dog, who stood facing each other.
He also used his superpower to go ahead.
Leaving only one man and one dog looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Take us with you! Damn it, why don't I have such convenient abilities?" "Woof!"
Deadpool furiously threw his blades to the ground, stomped on them twice, and complained.
Seeing that no one responded to them, he could only pick up the blades from the ground.
Then, the helpless Deadpool and Deadpool Dog quickly sped up to follow the two.
Ten minutes later, the panting Deadpool and Deadpool Dog saw two figures in front, leaning against rocks, each holding a bottle of cola in their right hand, leisurely chatting while observing the cave below.
"Here you go," Quicksilver said, pulling out two bottles of cola from his backpack and tossing them to the man and the dog.
The man and the dog, who were about to start cursing, suddenly fumbled to catch the colas.
"Fizz," Deadpool opened the cola and chugged it down.
While the man and the dog were drinking cola, Chen Ye said to them, "Do you see those soldiers with red headscarves below? They should be the armed forces who kidnapped Tony Stark." He then pointed to the deepest part of the valley's cave.
"Tony Stark should be held captive in there."
"Wade, you and the dog are responsible for attracting the attention of the people below, and I'll be responsible for going in to rescue him. As for Pietro, just play some music, no problem, right?"
Chen Ye instructed.
"Burp.... No problem," Deadpool just burped.
Perhaps it was too loud, as the soldiers below heard the sound and shouted in the direction of the sound: "Who is it? Who's there?"
Seeing this, the nearby soldiers also picked up their weapons and became vigilant. Then they slowly approached Chen Ye and his group's direction.
Chen Ye and Pietro looked at Deadpool helplessly.
Deadpool, at this moment, shamelessly gave them a peace sign.
"Since we've been discovered, let's get to work."
"Showtime, music start!" Chen Ye shouted, putting on his goggles.
Deadpool pulled out two long swords, leaped up, and shouted, "Your Grandpa Deadpool is here! Tony Stark, are you in there?"
Deadpool Dog pulled out two grenades and threw them down, shouting, "Fire in the hole!" Then he pulled out two guns and jumped down as well.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Someone's invading!" The armed militants saw Deadpool and his companions and immediately raised their guns and began firing.
"Da da da da da...."
Quicksilver put on his goggles, pulled a small speaker from his backpack, and pressed play.
Then, the World seemed to stand still.
The impact of the explosions also slowed down.
Deadpool and Deadpool Dog also seemed to have been put on slow-motion in mid-air.
The music started playing, and it was "Sweet Dreams," Quicksilver's exclusive music from Chen Ye's previous World.
This flashy move was, of course, requested by Chen Ye; he felt that without this music, fighting with superpowers would lack soul.
"Deng deng deng deng deng deng deng deng deng deng deng deng~~~~~~"
Chen Ye and Quicksilver quickly ran, instantly surpassing Deadpool and Deadpool Dog.
Pietro even started playing a prank by changing Deadpool's pose; he crossed Deadpool's legs and placed the tip of the blade in his hand at Deadpool's eye level.
"Sweet dreams are made of this~~~~"
"Who am I to disagree~~~~"
Chen Ye smiled when he saw this. He quickly began to redirect the bullets that were heading towards Deadpool and his companions.
Although he knew that even if they were hit, it wouldn't matter much, the kind-hearted Chen Ye still chose to help them avoid a little pain.
And he took off all the red headscarves from the enemies' heads and re-wrapped them around their hands.
"I have traveled the World and the seven seas"
"Everybody's looking for something"
Then he sped to the deepest part of the cave, looking at the tightly locked door.
Chen Ye slowly raised his right hand, which glowed with a faint red light.
Chen Ye's five fingers, shimmering with red light, pointed at the door.
As Chen Ye slowly closed his five fingers, the door began to twist like a pretzel.
"Some of them want to use you"
"Some of them want to abuse you"
With a "bang," the door fell down.
Chen Ye saw two people sitting inside, and he quickly walked forward to observe them. The one with the glowing chest should be Tony Stark.
The other old man with a white beard and a hat should be Ethan, who was supposed to receive his bento box (die).
Looking at the unassembled Mark I on the ground, Chen Ye felt relieved; it seemed the plot hadn't changed too much, and Iron Man would still be born.
Seeing Tony Stark and Ethan, who were on pause.
After confirming it was the two of them, Chen Ye quickly deactivated his superpower.
Then, the World seemed to press play and returned to normal.
