Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

Command input complete.

"Untie it."

Azu snapped his fingers and simultaneously concealed his glove with the Reality Gem.

The strange light in Jessica's eyes disappeared, and she regained her usual liveliness and sharpness.

She blinked and swayed slightly.

Then, she found herself sitting on the ground in a difficult split.

"...?"

Jessica was stunned.

She looked down at her thighs pressed against the floor, then looked up at Azu with a bewildered expression.

"What...what am I doing?"

Jessica got up from the ground and rubbed her sore groin.

"Did I... slip?"

"Probably."

Ah Zu, holding the milk, shrugged innocently.

"I have to say, Jessica, if your service attitude were out of ten, I would only give you three points."

"Tch." Jessica rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, and that familiar aggressive posture returned. "You're lucky if you get any milk; don't expect me to sing you a lullaby. Since nothing else, I'm leaving."

She turned to leave.

"etc."

Ah Zu called out to her.

Jessica stopped and turned around impatiently: "What is it now? Do I have to burp you again?"

Azu ignored her taunts and silently used the power of the Reality Stone.

A small glass bottle containing blue liquid appeared in his hand.

Of course, the prototype was a bottle of cherry-flavored Vought energy drink.

"Drink this stuff."

"What is this? Some kind of new poison? If you want to kill someone to cover it up, you can just use your laser eyes, whoosh whoosh whoosh." Jessica pouted and made a gesture.

"Your sense of humor is sometimes really unnecessary, Jessica."

Azu shook his head helplessly and shoved the bottle into her hand.

"This is the original extract of T-VEX. It's also known as... Compound Zero."

"One of only two bottles remaining in the world."

Jessica froze. Although she was usually carefree, she knew what "original fluid" meant. It was the source of all T-VEX.

"One of the bottles fell into the hands of Hydra in an effort to save Wanda."

Azu paused, looking at Jessica with a deep gaze.

"And this last bottle... is right here."

"Permanently enhances abilities after use, with no side effects."

"What...what do you want to do?" Jessica instinctively reached to hand the item back. "This kind of thing should be locked in a vault on the 50th floor or given to Dr. Connor to study. At the very least, it can be auctioned off for tens of billions of dollars."

"Why did you give it to me?"

He didn't take the bottle; instead, he reached out and gently enveloped Jessica's hand that was holding it.

The warm touch made Jessica stiffen.

"Jessica, look at me."

Ah Zu abandoned his usual strong and confident demeanor, revealing a rare hint of "tiredness".

"Chitauri, dark elves, Asgardian banshees... you see, trouble is piling up. And beyond this starry sky, even more terrifying enemies are watching us."

"Although I am very strong, I am not an omniscient and omnipotent god."

Azu reached out and gently placed his hand on Jessica's shoulder.

"I also have concerns, and there are times when I'm overwhelmed. There might even be a day when I encounter an accident and am trapped in the depths of space, just like last time."

"I need to know that there are still people on Earth protecting me."

"I need to know that even if I fall, there is still someone who can support me through all of this."

Azu's fingers tightened slightly, his eyes fixed intently on Jessica.

"Damn it..."

Jessica muttered a curse under her breath, her eyes welling up with tears.

"You're really...too cunning."

"Is this emotional drama meant to make it impossible for me to refuse overtime in the future?"

"If that's your understanding, that's fine too." Azu shrugged, and that charming smile returned to his lips.

"You are my first partner, Jessica."

"From the moment we met, I knew you were different."

"I don't want anything to happen to you. I don't want to see you fall in front of me during any future crisis."

"If there is anyone in this world whom I can entrust my rear without reservation... that person can only be you."

"...As long as you are still on Earth, I have a home to return to."

Jessica stared blankly at Azu.

In this man's eyes, she was actually... that important?

An unprecedented sense of being needed instantly filled Jessica's heart.

"I……"

Jessica opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

She recalled her usual attitude towards Ah Zu. Rolling her eyes, talking back, and even cursing him in her heart as an old pervert.

"Damn it, Jessica, you're such a bitch."

She cursed herself in her heart.

Guilt, gratitude, and other inexplicable feelings transformed into an impulse.

Jessica rushed forward, stretched out her arms, and hugged Azu tightly, burying her face in his chest.

"Thank you... thank you for trusting me."

Azu paused for a moment, then reached out and gently patted her back.

"You're welcome, Miss Bad Temper."

The hug lasted only five seconds.

Jessica shoved him away and took two steps back as if she had been electrocuted.

Her cheeks were flushed, but she immediately put on a fierce expression.

"Okay! Are we just going to pour this in directly? Why not inject it?"

"The effect is the same whether taken orally," Azu said with a straight face, "Trust me, the taste is not bad, it's cherry flavored."

Without further hesitation, she unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted her head back, and gulped it down in one go.

"Glug... Glug..."

The sweet liquid slid down my throat.

"belch--"

Jessica let out a loud, cherry-flavored burp.

"The taste... is a bit like Vought Energy Drink?" She smacked her lips.

"That's a flavoring agent to mask the bitterness of the medicine," Azu said without changing his expression. "Now, close your eyes, Jessica. Feel the changes in your body."

"I feel it's coming."

Jessica obediently closed her eyes.

The instant she closed her eyes.

The Mind Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet shone brightly!

Azu guided the energy of the Mind Gem, gently permeating it into Jessica's body.

"Strengthen...the physical body."

"Develop...potential."

Jessica felt her body become lighter and her fists filled with power.

Moreover, the surrounding space becomes tangible, foldable, and permeable.

"This is……"

She couldn't help but open her eyes.

The feeling was so strange. She looked at the sofa in the other corner of the office, and only the thought of "the past" flashed through her mind.

"call out--!"

The air was still, and there was no sound of wind.

The next second, she was already sitting on that sofa.

"What the fxxk……"

Jessica looked at the spot where she had just been standing, and then at the spot where she was now sitting.

She looked at the coat rack by the door again.

"call out!"

With a flicker, she appeared beside the clothes rack.

"I...traveled through time?"

"To be precise, it's flickering."

Azu nodded in satisfaction.

The Mind Stone not only unlocked her physical potential but also brought out another of her talents.
