A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 242 How did he end up here?

Before boarding the Skybreaker, Wanda and Pietro were excited.

After waiting for nearly five years, they finally met their adoptive "husband" and were about to go to New York with him for Christmas dinner.

However, after boarding the Potian, they were somewhat bewildered.

Because Li Wei led them through the luxuriously decorated passenger cabin and into the cockpit.

"Hello, welcome aboard the Skybreaker! I'm Yelena!" Sitting in the driver's seat, Yelena, who had come with Li Wei to pick them up, greeted them warmly upon their arrival.

"Um, hello, I'm Wanda." Wanda was a little confused, but her good education over the years made her respond politely to the girl who looked to be about her age.

"Hello, I'm Pietro!" Pietro introduced himself.

“I know you’re probably curious why I brought you to the driver’s seat. I can tell you it’s because the visibility is better from here—I won’t say anything else, or it’ll spoil the surprise!” Li Wei said with a smile, then guided the two of them to sit in the back seat and made them fasten their seatbelts.

Because it was converted into a sightseeing spaceship, in addition to the two pilot seats, the original observer positions on the Potian were also eliminated and replaced with several ordinary seats right next to the portholes. They don't serve any special purpose, but the view of the scenery outside the windows is excellent.

“I feel like we’re not going to New York, but rather flying into outer space!” Pietro said instinctively.

It must be said that boys are indeed more sensitive in this regard, and Pietro unintentionally revealed the truth.

Of course, Pietro was just saying it casually and didn't really think so.

In his view, to fly out of Earth, you need a rocket, right?
After all, given the current level of technology on Earth, manned technology is only at the level of the "International Space Station".

As for the actual situation, there's no need to go into details, since there are various external factors such as the Kree influencing things, and this information is not publicly available, so even the twins don't know it.

However, Pietro didn't know, but Levi and Yelena did.

So when they heard Pietro's words, the two exchanged a smile.

Wanda also noticed the "tacit understanding" between Li Wei and Yelena.

For some reason, this scene instantly dampened her initial excitement at meeting "the man".

However, the twins soon had no time to think about anything else.

Because the spaceship has taken off.

It took off directly from the spot without a running start.

"This plane can even take off and land vertically? That's amazing!" Pietro couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing it.

Less than a minute after he finished praising him, he realized something was wrong.

Because this "airplane" broke through the clouds at an extremely high speed and continued to fly upwards.

“Wait, sir, are we really going to space? Shouldn’t we be going to New York?” Pietro asked Levi, a little flustered.

He's still just an 18-year-old boy, and he can't remain completely calm in this special situation.

In contrast, Wanda appeared much calmer, her gaze towards Levi filled with trust.

Levi, who had just turned around to talk to Pietro, also saw Wanda's gaze and was immediately puzzled. "Wait, isn't this our first meeting? What's with that look of trust on your face?"
“You’re right, but don’t worry, it’s perfectly safe!” Although Li Wei found Wanda’s expression strange, he didn’t press her for details and simply offered some reassuring words.

As they spoke, accompanied by a brief but intense push, the spacecraft officially broke through the atmosphere.

"God..." The twins, seeing the vastness of space for the first time, were immediately captivated. "So this is what it feels like to see Earth from space..."

"Is this the first time you've seen such a view? You'll have many more opportunities like this in the future, but now, we should head to New York!" Seeing their expressions, Yelena smiled slightly and increased the spaceship's thrust.

Then, not long after, the twins discovered that the spaceship had begun its descent.

As the spaceship landed, a bustling metropolis appeared before them. Upon seeing the Statue of Liberty, the twins knew they had arrived in New York.

Only a few minutes have passed?
From takeoff to landing, is it ten minutes?

Is this it?

This wasn't the twins' first time in New York; they had previously traveled there by private jet from London, a journey that took at least six hours.

"That's so fast!" Pietro couldn't help but exclaim.

“That’s normal, this is a real spaceship!” Li Wei explained with a smile.

"Why can't the people below see us?" Wanda couldn't help but ask at this moment.

The spaceship had already arrived over New York, and it wasn't flying very high.

However, the people below seemed to be completely oblivious to their existence.

"Because the spaceship is equipped with optical cloaking devices, we can't be seen from the outside!" Li Wei explained.

The spaceship soon landed at the Alliance headquarters.

During the year they were away, the construction of the alliance headquarters, which had been delayed for several years, was finally completed.

It's a pity that this place, which was originally planned to be the headquarters of the alliance, can only be given a prefix and become the alliance's New York headquarters.

It can't even be called the Alliance Earth Headquarters.

Because the Earth headquarters is in a wild and untamed place.

During the year they were away, the construction of the wilderness never stopped.

The floating city in the wilderness is now complete.

Even that floating city, the name "Alliance Earth Headquarters" probably won't last long.

There's no way around it; plans can never keep up with changes.

The league now possesses far more advanced technologies.

Upon returning to Earth, Levi and Tony plan to build a large space station in space as a starting point for their journey to the new Earth.

Because of the existence of the new Earth, the alliance can no longer remain hidden behind the scenes.

But once they actually step into the spotlight, the alliance headquarters, no matter where it is located on the Earth's surface, even in international waters, can still easily cause some international disputes.

But it's different in space.

Most countries on Earth can't even reach that.

The spaceship soon landed on the tarmac.

Still buzzing with excitement, Wanda and Pietro disembarked from the spaceship, led by Levi and Yelena.

But when they saw someone waiting early at the edge of the tarmac, their expressions changed instantly.

"Why is he here?" Wanda pointed at Tony Stark and immediately questioned him!
Yes, it seems that only Stark Industries could produce such advanced technology.

She should have thought of it earlier!
