Extraordinary North America: Where are the magical partners?

Chapter 241 The Avengers Without Rango
In a townhouse full of modern technology on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

Wanda was busy standing behind the kitchen counter, sorting out the ingredients while staring at the recipe in front of her and muttering to herself.

“How much is a pinch of chili powder?”

Wanda first grabbed a handful of red chili powder from the chopping board, but just as she was about to put it into the boiling pot, she hesitated and retracted her hand.

She remembered that Quicksilver didn't like spicy food very much, so she pinched a small pinch of chili powder between two fingers and gently sprinkled it into the pot.

Smelling the aroma emanating from the pot, she closed her eyes in contentment.

During the days when Rango was away, Wanda didn't want to go out, so she cooked every day. Over time, she became addicted to the feeling of cooking.

Although she enjoyed the cooking process, Quicksilver became her "guinea pig".

"Pietro, come try my chili bean soup, I made it according to the recipe and it smells great."

Hearing Wanda's call, Quicksilver, who was lying on the sofa watching a baseball game, looked bitter. He wanted to escape directly using his super speed, but he was worried that doing so would hurt Wanda's self-esteem.

So he had to pretend to close his eyes in an attempt to avoid this "disaster".

However, there was no way to avoid it. When Quicksilver opened his eyes, Wanda was already standing in front of him holding a steaming bowl of soup.

"Try it quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold." Wanda thoughtfully placed the soup bowl and spoon on the coffee table. Although Quicksilver was born a few minutes earlier than her, in daily life, their relationship is more like that of a brother and sister. Wanda always takes care of Quicksilver, and Quicksilver is used to the feeling of being taken care of.

Quicksilver opened his eyes reluctantly and looked at the bowl of soup in front of him that was bubbling with red bubbles.

Pig skin with a few strands of shiny hair, cabbage roots with a few grains of spring mud, and eye-catching potato skins with shrimps in their shells.
Quicksilver pursed his lips tightly, but still didn't have the courage to drink it. After thinking about it, he decided to change the subject.

"Ugh"

The boy sighed, put down the bowl of soup and said, "Rango has been gone for almost a month, and there has been no news until now. I don't know where he is."

After visiting Xavier Institute last time, Rango told them that he would be away for a while. Then he brought back several boxes of money from SHIELD - a full two million in cash, for them to use as living expenses while he was away. After that, he disappeared with Yumi and Teddy.

When Wanda heard Quicksilver mention Rango, she seemed a little absent-minded.

Although they have not been together for a long time, Rango's sincere attitude and humorous personality have deeply attracted the brother and sister.

Now they have legal status, live in such a big villa, and have endless money, all thanks to Rango's hard work and dedication.

After Wanda pondered for a moment, she asked Quicksilver seriously, "Do you think Rango was in great danger, so he chose not to tell us, fearing that we would be implicated, and therefore faced everything alone?"

"."

After hearing this, Quicksilver looked at his sister in confusion. After a long while, he scratched his head and replied, "Do you remember what Rango said when he saved us from the Hydra base? He said that the Earth might face alien attacks in the future. In order to prevent these threats, he would gather all powerful humans and form an alliance to fight against the evil alien forces."

“So.” He smiled at Wanda, “Why would he worry about getting others into trouble and face danger alone? He saved us because he hoped we could help him.”

Wanda shrugged, shook her head and said, "I don't know. I just think that a man like him must be under a lot of pressure that is unknown to others."

Quicksilver frowned and looked carefully at Wanda, whose eyes were full of worry.

Something is wrong.

According to the movie, when a woman becomes curious about a man or has fantasies about him, it means that she has unknowingly fallen in love with him.

Could it be that his sister has fallen in love with Rango?

This is truly bad news!

Just when he was about to continue asking questions, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Quicksilver and Wanda looked at each other, stood up vigilantly, and looked towards the door. Then a voice came from outside.

"Wanda Maximoff, Pietro Maximoff, I'm Phil Coulson, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I'm sure Rango must have mentioned my name to you."

Hearing the name, Quicksilver raised his eyebrows, then flashed and appeared again with an identity card in his hand.

"Phil Coulson, the name is correct, and he looks the same as Rango described." Quicksilver nodded at Wanda, then walked to the door like a normal person and opened it again.

Coulson, who was standing outside the door, didn't understand what was happening when he saw a man standing in front of him, Quicksilver, who had silver hair and looked like he had just reached adulthood. He immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Pietro, I am..."

"Phil Coulson, Level 8 Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D." Quicksilver said first, and then handed the certificate in his hand back to Coulson, "Hey, be careful next time."

Coulson took the certificate and touched his right breast pocket, which was indeed empty. He thought of what Rango had told him about Quicksilver's abilities, smiled, and praised, "You are even more powerful than Rango described."

Not long after, the three of them sat opposite each other in the living room of their home.

Wanda and Quicksilver were looking through the photos and materials in their hands. These were about the collapse of a research center of S.H.I.E.L.D., including relevant information about the Cosmic Cube, especially the photo of Loki, which had been restored from the surveillance to ultra-clear quality. In the photo, Loki was holding a short spear inlaid with gems and wreaking havoc in the base.

"That's the way it is."

Coulson explained, "Not only did Loki steal the Cosmic Cube, we also have reliable information that he has the support of an alien fleet. Since they are able to carry out interstellar plunder, it means that their strength and weapons are far beyond our Earth. This will be an unprecedented disaster."

Wanda was a little confused after hearing this: "Then why not let the army deal with it?"

Coulson answered patiently, "If it is left to the military, nuclear weapons will most likely be used in the end. Using nuclear weapons in the sea or desert may be okay, but if the battlefield is in a city like New York or Los Angeles, can you imagine what the consequences will be?" After that, he stood up from the sofa and said to the two of them seriously, "Originally, Rango was supposed to contact you for this mission, but his whereabouts are unknown now, so I can only come to you in person. Give me an answer, I have a few other stops to go."

Wanda and Quicksilver looked at each other, then each stretched out their hands and nodded heavily, "I'm in!"

Coulson smiled with satisfaction, but looking at the two hands in front of him, one on the left and one on the right, he was somewhat embarrassed to find that he could not hold them at the same time.

"You should hold out your left hand."

"My side is the left hand, Quicksilver, you should extend your right hand."

"Cross your hands. You can hold it by crossing them."

"."

After some effort, the three of them finally succeeded in shaking hands at the same time. However, just as Coulson was about to leave with satisfaction, Quicksilver suddenly picked up the spicy bean soup made by Wanda on the coffee table.

"Agent Coulson, you've had such a hard journey. Have a bowl of soup before you go."

"."

--------

Night, inside Stark Tower.

Since the death of Stan, the company's vice president, the top ten floors of the building have been completely converted into scientific research laboratories.

At this moment, Stark was holding an electric pen in his mouth, concentrating on examining the dark battle suit hanging in the glass cabinet - this was the nano battle suit that Rango had commissioned him to make.

This battle suit can usually be stored in an ordinary electronic watch. When needed, just press it lightly and the nanomaterial will quickly cover the entire body.

This is the result of Stark's many days of research. He also built a nano Iron Man armor for himself and felt quite satisfied. Although it lacks a mechanical feel, it is full of technology.

I just don't know where that bastard Rango went. He took Yumi away without even saying hello. He was confident that if Yumi possessed him, he could make a more perfect battle suit.

Regretfully, Stark prepared to change his clothes and go out because he had made an appointment with Pepper to have dinner at a high-end restaurant.

Having stood up his promise many times in a row, he is determined to keep his promise this time.

However, Jarvis' voice suddenly sounded at this time.

"Sir, there is a call for you. My program has been forcibly modified."

Stark was stunned when he heard this. Before he could react, the elevator door opened and Coulson walked out exhausted: "Stark, we need to have a serious talk."

"Really? I don't think so."

Stark put on his suit nonchalantly and pointed at Coulson outside the elevator. "You hacked into my company's information and security systems. I'll send the bill to your boss at SHIELD."

Coulson turned a deaf ear to Stark's words, but opened the tablet in his hand, walked up and put it directly in front of him. Stark, who was about to leave, just glanced at it casually, but his eyes were instantly attracted.

The tablet records the extraordinary events and disasters that have occurred in North America recently, as well as a video of Loki breaking into the S.H.I.E.L.D. research center and taking away the Cosmic Cube.

When Stark heard Loki claim that he had a star fleet, he let out a sigh and put down his suit.

He shook his head slightly and said to himself helplessly: "Forgive me Pepper, it's all because that bastard Coulson came at such a good time."

Coulson looked at Stark: "Join us?"

Stark raised his eyebrows, put on his usual style, shrugged and said, "Since you all came to my door in person, what else can I do? And it seems that these guys really lack a leader."

After that, he turned to Coulson and asked, "But it's not that easy for them to deal with an alien fleet. Where are the Rango people?"

"Honestly."

Coulson shook his head slightly. "It's like he disappeared from the face of the earth. It's very likely that he can't be used in this operation."

"."

------

The next day, a Quinjet flew through the clouds.

Coulson looked at Captain America, who was sitting opposite him, wearing a leather jacket and with shining blond hair, and felt excited.

After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "It may seem a little unprofessional to say this, but Captain Rogers, I have to tell you that I am your loyal fan. It is because of you that I had the idea of ​​joining the army to serve my country."

Captain America smiled warmly when he heard this. He put down the tablet in his hand, looked at Coulson deeply, and said meaningfully: "Director Fury found me yesterday and said that this mission is to save the earth and fight against the alien ambitions. I hope you didn't lie to me, because I will not fight for the country, I will only fight for the ordinary people living on this planet."

Coulson nodded solemnly. When he was about to explain, Captain America suddenly picked up the tablet, pointed to a name on it and asked, "I remember this guy named Rango. Why haven't I seen him in S.H.I.E.L.D. these days?"

"Uh"

Coulson smiled helplessly. Why did the people he had been looking for these days all mention Rango?
