Several days had passed since Helen's body was reshaped. She had completely familiarized herself with her current body.
More than a month had passed since George left Earth-65. But George said that he had more than enough annual leave.
So, George and Helen remained on Earth-404, living a blissful life as a family of three plus one.
As for why they didn't return to Earth-65...
It was because Gwen decided to move to Earth-404 for university and she became schoolmates with Wanda and Pietro. Her admission was arranged through Stark Industries.
In the evening, on the seventh floor of the bookstore.
George's family and Lucas were having dinner together.
Dinner was lavish. Among the dishes was a lemon sea bass personally prepared by Helen.
"Lucas, here you go."
"Thank you, Helen."
Lucas took the plate from the smiling Helen and thanked her. Then he cut into the sea bass and savored it delightfully.
After Helen's soul reawakened and she learned what had happened after her death, as well as Lucas and Gwen's relationship, she scolded George, complaining that he didn't understand etiquette. And she said she wanted to make this dish for Lucas to make up for it.
Seeing Lucas eating heartily and happily, George, not to be outdone, also started eating quickly. He hadn't eaten Helen's cooking in a long time.
For a moment, at the dinner table, Lucas and George buried their heads in their food, as if competing.
Meanwhile, Helen and Gwen sat together. They chatted about everyday life while eating. However, the mother and daughter looked more like sisters.
As for Wanda and Pietro, it wasn't so heartwarming.
Although it was almost evening, the siblings were still in tutoring sessions. The tutors were all hired by Tony at a high price. Every one of them was highly professional.
After Olek and Iryna were resurrected, Tony discussed with them. He wanted to fund private tutors for Wanda and Pietro to fill their educational gaps.
After learning about Wanda and Pietro's recent situation over the years, Olek and Iryna both agreed.
And Lucas also offered a suggestion.
That was to let them open a beverage shop next to the bookstore, to quickly reintegrate into society.
"Four glasses of Mango Pomelo Sago, less ice, less sugar."
"Oh, Iryna. Are Wanda and Pietro still studying?"
"It's Lucas."
Irina greeted Lucas while operating the machine to make the drink.
"Wanda and Pietro still have some homework to finish. Once they're done with their homework, I'll remind them to go to Kamar-Taj to learn magic."
That's right.
Besides daily tutoring, Wanda and Pietro also needed to go to Kamar-Taj to learn magic knowledge.
Lucas hesitated for a moment, then said, "I was going to say, why not give them a little more rest time? Their lifespans will be much longer than ordinary people's, there's no need to rush so much."
Although he really wanted his Sorcerer Supreme Team member, Wanda, to grow quickly, how many hours had they been studying this day?
Lucas wasn't a black-hearted capitalist like Tony.
Iryna smiled awkwardly and handed the four finished Mango Pomelo Sago drinks to Lucas. She also realized that she seemed to be pushing Wanda and Pietro too hard.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you, Lucas. After class, I'll let them rest."
Lucas smiled as he took the drinks.
He didn't mind Wanda's absence from today's magic training.
In his perception, ever since Wanda's parents were resurrected, the awakening speed of Wanda's Chaos Magic had significantly accelerated.
This shows that it's not only tragedy that can unleash Wanda's potential. Happiness can too.
Lucas said goodbye to Iryna and was about to return to the bookstore.
Suddenly, a rainbow light flashed in the distance.
This was the Bifrost Bridge.
That direction was Thor and Loki.
Sparks twinkled, and a portal opened.
Lucas placed three drinks back in the living room and greeted George and the others.
"I'm going out for a bit, don't wait for me to come back."
After speaking, he stepped out, disappeared from the bookstore entrance, and arrived at the top floor of a hotel.
East Manhattan, Hilton Hotel rooftop.
When Lucas arrived, several people were already waiting there. They were Thor, Loki, Sif, and The Warriors Three.
Thor, dressed in a suit, asked with a smile, "Sif, you came to see us. Is there something wrong?"
Sif, wearing her armor, looked at Thor's attire, a flicker of surprise in her eyes. She felt that the First Prince of Asgard seemed much gentler after taking off his armor.
"Yes, there is something, but it's not for you and Loki. It's for Sorcerer Lucas."
"Previously, Sorcerer Lucas entrusted Heimdall to search for news of Thanos, the Master of the Dark Order."
"Heimdall found it, but he couldn't contact Sorcerer Lucas. So he asked us to come to Midgard to inform him."
After speaking, Sif saluted in Lucas's direction.
"Sorcerer Lucas, Asgard has received news. Thanos is cooperating with Ronan, the Kree Legion Commander, to acquire the Orb."
"His adopted daughters, Gamora and Nebula, have successively appeared by Ronan's side."
"And the Orb is on Morag. By staking out Morag, you can find Ronan or Thanos's two adopted daughters. Then, through them, find Thanos."
"It's just that Asgard finds it inconvenient to act against these two forces, so please forgive us, Sorcerer Lucas."
Lucas nodded, and said, "I understand. Asgard has a vast enterprise and cannot easily make enemies. However, can you arrange a guide for me?"
Lucas could easily travel through the Multiverse and he could also easily cross from one end of the Universe to the other. But that didn't stop him from getting lost.
He had never been to Morag.
Loki, also in a suit, had a flash of divine light in his eyes.
An opportunity to get close to Lucas had arrived.
Loki knew in his heart the true purpose of Odin sending him and Thor to Midgard—to befriend Kamar-Taj and strengthen the relationship between the two forces.
Among them, winning over Lucas was crucial.
"Lucas, I'll be your guide."
Loki stepped forward and confidently explained to everyone, "Other Asgardians might be recognized, but I won't be. I can transform into the appearance of people from other planets."
As he spoke, Loki walked and shifted his form. He transformed back and forth between Kree, Skrulls, and Shi'ar, proving that what he said was true.
"Well done, Loki. Truly my brother." Thor patted Loki's shoulder.
"This mission is entrusted to you."
Loki looked at Thor, becoming confused. How did this suddenly become a mission entrusted to him by Thor?
