Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

Hope stared blankly at the document handed to him.

She reached out her hand, her fingertips touching the cold file folder, yet she seemed to feel the man's burning heart.

He gave her his life and all his heart and soul without reservation because he loved her.

"I understand..." Hope took a deep breath and turned to look at Hank Pym.

"Father...give me the formula for the Pym particle."

Hank Pym was startled.

He looked at his daughter's resolute face. He knew this wasn't a discussion; it was an ultimatum.

This daughter, who seemed to have transformed overnight, was like a younger version of Janet.

If he says "no" today, he will lose his only family member in the world forever.

His life was already full of regrets; he couldn't bear to lose his only daughter as well.

Moreover, he couldn't resist the temptation that might bring his wife home.

He sighed deeply, reached out his aged hand, and gently patted his daughter's shoulder.

"Originally, I was planning to find a suitable opportunity to hand all of this over to you..."

"I just didn't expect it to be like this. I was too stubborn, Hope. If I had trusted that young man sooner, maybe things would have been different."

Hope clutched the inheritance document tightly. She didn't utter a word of blame towards her father; nothing she said now could bring back the man who had lost his way to protect her.

Mary stepped forward at the opportune moment, glanced at Hope's bleeding ankle, and asked with concern.

"Ms. Grief cannot open the Gulliver's Tunnel. Your injuries need immediate attention. An infection would severely impact your future work."

"Go back and rest first. Once your wounds have healed, come back here with the Pym Particle formula, complete all the formalities, and you'll be able to take over Dr. Wu's laboratory in full."

"Thank you for reminding me, Mary." Hope nodded, her eyes regaining their resolve.

She agreed with Mary; they couldn't let anything affect the progress of rescuing Daniel.

……

The next morning.

Hope has arrived downstairs at the Waters branch.

She pushed open the car door, leaning on a lightweight carbon fiber cane, and stepped out. Her ankle had been retreated and wrapped in gel bandages; although she still walked with a slight limp, the pain had been greatly reduced.

"Go do what you think is right, Hope. Bring him back, and bring Janet back too," Pym called after Hope as she walked away.

Hope turned to look at her father's aged and guilty face and nodded vigorously.

"I will, Father. I swear."

"Good morning, Ms. Dane. You look much better than last night."

Mary was waiting in the hall early.

"Good morning, Mary." Hope nodded. "Let's get started."

With Mary by his side, the series of tedious document signings proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

With the final document completed, Hope officially became the head of the Starr Group's High Energy Physics Laboratory.

"The formalities are complete, Ms. Dane. From now on, all resources in this laboratory are at your disposal." Mary handed Hope an access card.

Hope took the card and strode towards the laboratory door.

The verification passed, and the heavy airtight door slid open to both sides.

In stark contrast to the quietness of last night, the laboratory today is bustling with nearly twenty researchers in white lab coats working at their respective workstations.

Hope was slightly taken aback; she had assumed that this top-secret project would only involve a handful of people.

Upon seeing Hope walk in, all the researchers immediately stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to her.

She cleared her throat, preparing to project the authoritative aura of a long-time chairperson, introduce herself, and establish her leadership position.

"Good morning, everyone. I'm Hope Dane, and from today onwards..."

Before she could finish speaking, the researcher closest to her immediately stopped what he was doing and a warm, bright smile spread across his face.

"Oh my god! It's Ms. Dane! You've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for so long!"

Another female researcher quickly stepped forward, pulled over an ergonomic swivel chair, and thoughtfully placed it next to Hope.

"You need to avoid putting pressure on your ankle, please sit here. You have full access to the lab, and we are ready to execute your next instructions at any time."

The other researchers also stopped working and cast friendly, enthusiastic, and even ingratiating glances at Hope.

Hope looked at these enthusiastic faces with a bit of bewilderment.

When she took over a research team led by a top genius, she originally thought she would encounter some academic arrogance or distrust.

She was prepared to establish her authority through forceful means.

But they didn't show any rejection of my arrival; on the contrary, they welcomed me as if I were a long-lost old friend.

"You...know me?" Hope looked around in confusion.

"Of course, Ms. Dane." A researcher smiled and spread his palms, gesturing towards the laboratory. "Because in the past few months, the person Dr. Wu has mentioned most often in this laboratory is you."

"In our hearts, you have long been the mistress of this laboratory."

Upon hearing these words, Hope felt a lump in her throat, a mixture of sweetness and sorrow welling up in her heart.

"Daniel... really loves me so much, even the people around him are touched by his love."

Hope tilted her head back, forcing back her tears.

She can't cry; now is not the time to be weak.

"I won't let him down!"

Hope secretly vowed to transform all her sadness and emotion into motivation for her work.

"Listen up, everyone!" Hope clapped his hands and gave the order in a loud voice to the entire laboratory.

"Immediately retrieve the blueprints for the energy stabilization valve in the Gulliver Tunnel! I've brought a completely new calculation formula."

"Let's work together to bring Dr. Wu back!"

"Yes, Ms. Dane!"

The T-1050 researchers in the lab responded in unison.

……

Meanwhile, inside the presidential suite of the Fairmont Hotel.

"drop."

The suite door clicked softly as Mary pushed it open and entered.

As the door closed, ripples of light emanated from her body.

In a mere second, she transformed back into the tall and slender Miss Skynet.

Ah Zu was wearing a loose bathrobe and sitting on the sofa waiting.

"Is Hope settled in?"

"Everything is progressing well, sir," Skynet reported respectfully. "Ms. Dane is currently fully immersed in the research and development of the fusion of Pym Particles and Gulliver technology. Driven by love, her work efficiency is astonishing."

Having accomplished a long-planned major task, Azu was in high spirits.

"Now that the important business is done, it's time to relax and have a couple of rounds to celebrate."
