Marvel: Saint Seiya Starting with the Reality Stone

"mom?"

Mike heard his adoptive mother's voice coming from downstairs, and subconsciously responded. Then he walked towards the door and looked into the living room after descending from the second floor to the first floor.

into the eye.

Heidi, her adoptive father Nick, and her adoptive mother Meni were already sitting on the sofa in the living room.

The three of them heard Mike's footsteps, and the moment Mike looked at them, the three sitting on the sofa also turned their gazes toward Mike.

Eight eyes meet.

Heidi's eyesight was fine.

but……

The gazes from his adoptive father Nick and adoptive mother Mennie sent a chill down Mike's spine.

after all!

My adoptive father Nick and adoptive mother Meni are dead.

He died in 2012, the day the Chitauri invaded, at the hands of Loki, who was also an adopted son, albeit an Asgardian adopted son.

Just then.

Mike suddenly felt a strange memory surging into his mind along the ten fingers he was massaging between his eyebrows.

In the basement of Baron Strucker's Hydra Fortress.

At that moment, the scene seemed to be frozen.

It was as if the flow of time had stopped at this moment.

Pietro Maximov lay on the ground.

Mike had his feet in his pockets, his right foot raised, his face stern, and his foot was less than ten centimeters from Pietro's head, who was lying on the floor.

Behind Mike, a woman radiating a crimson aura stood with a serious expression, her fingers pressed against Mike's temples. The crimson light helped her resist the tenfold gravitational field around Mike, while simultaneously flowing through her fingers into Mike's mind.

Time in reality seemed to stand still at this moment.

However, the virtual world was not frozen in time.

Heidi rolled her eyes at Mike, who was standing motionless in their direction after coming down the stairs, and said, "Good grief, we came all the way from New York City, and you didn't even pick us up from the airport. Wanda even picked us up. Why are you acting like you've seen a ghost when you see me and Mom and Dad?"

Wanda?

Upon hearing Heidi's words, Mike felt a pang of emotion, recalling the unfamiliar memories that had just tried to flood his mind.

Just then.

The woman who was just upstairs has come down carrying the human cub named Tommy. Hearing Heidi's complaint, she smiled and explained, "Heidi, it's not that Mike didn't want to go, but he said he wasn't feeling well this morning, so I didn't let him go to the airport to pick you up."

Mike, who was standing next to the woman, looked at her again.

wrong.

Not a woman.

It's Wanda!

With this familiar name as an anchor, Mike looked at the woman again and saw that she was none other than Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch from the Marvel Universe, the sister of Quicksilver Pietro Maximoff, whom he had been keeping an eye on but had not yet noticed.

but……

Can you transport me to a dream world in a second?

That's an exaggeration.

Mike had a sudden thought, but after realizing that even Thor could be subdued by Wanda in a second and enter the illusionary world, he stopped thinking about it.

Upon hearing Wanda's words, Menny, Wanda's foster mother, immediately stood up, just as she remembered, and walked towards Mike with concern, placing her hand on Mike's forehead: "Are you feeling unwell? Do you have a cold or a fever? Should we go to the hospital?"

Wanda remained silent, holding Tommy in her arms and looking at Mike beside her.

Mike looked at his adoptive mother, Mennie, who was as gentle and caring as he remembered, and felt the gazes of Wanda beside him and Nick on the sofa. He smiled at his adoptive mother, Mennie, and said, "It's nothing. I probably just caught a sea breeze yesterday. I had a cup of black coffee this morning, and I'm about fine now."

Mike's foster mother, Mennie, looked at him with concern.

"Really?"

"certainly."

The foster mother, Mennie, looked at Mike with certainty and breathed a sigh of relief. Then her gaze was drawn to the human cub in Wanda's arms.

Nick, the adoptive father, also got up from the sofa. He was serious and didn't smile, but his gaze also fell on the human baby Tommy.

Even Heidi, who was on the sofa, got up and joined in teasing little Tommy after he was born.

As for Tommy's biological parents, Mike and Wanda, they were squeezed out of the inner circle by the three of them and could only stand on the outside and watch this scene.

It was afternoon.

On the private beach behind the house.

Yes.

sandy beach.

It is clear that his and Wanda's home is not in New York City on the East Coast, but in the small town of Santa Barbara on the West Coast.

This is a small town right next to Los Angeles. It has beautiful scenery and a relatively small population.

Mike's house is a three-story villa by the sea with a swimming pool and a large private beach.

Just like the home he had envisioned in his mind.

Mike is currently barbecuing on the beach.

As the head of the household, he needs to be in charge of the grill at these barbecue parties.

After the barbecue, adoptive father Nick and adoptive mother Mennie went back inside to play with little Tommy.

Heidi walked on the beach, letting the seawater soak her feet, while talking on the phone with her new boyfriend.

Mike and Wanda were embracing on a beach chair.

He held Wanda in his arms, lowered his gaze, inhaled the fragrance of her hair, felt the sea breeze blowing from the Pacific Ocean, and listened to the sound of the waves: "By the way, Wanda, I don't quite remember how we met."

Wanda, who was lying quietly in his arms, stirred slightly upon hearing this and looked up to meet Mike's gaze.

A faint, ambiguous smile appeared on her lips.

"Mike, think carefully before you speak. Are you sure you don't remember how we met?"

"Haha, how could that be?"

Mike met Wanda's smiling yet slightly dangerous gaze, which seemed to say, "Are you serious?", and decisively changed the subject, pulling Wanda back into his arms: "How could I forget? I was sent to Sokovia by the company, and that's when I fell in love with you at first sight."

Yes.

This is the process of how I met Wanda, got to know her, fell in love with her, and finally chose to start a new family, get married, and have children in Santa Barbara, according to that new memory.

Just like the life he had previously envisioned and wanted to have.

He has a wife and a child.

Heidi is there.

My adoptive parents were also there.

It doesn't need to be incredibly exciting or thrilling.

That's life.

simple is the best.

only……

Mike closed his eyes, continuing to inhale the scent of Wanda's hair in his arms, and said calmly, "Wanda, do you know what I like most?"

Wanda's voice was soft.

"What?"

"Now."

As Mike stroked Wanda's hair in his arms, he listened to and felt the sound of the sea breeze, looking at the starry sky above: "I have a family, a wife, children, my own house, and I can be able to sit down and listen to the sea breeze like this. This is everything I've always wanted."

Wanda, nestled in his arms, looked up suspiciously.

"At the beginning? So you're telling me your goals have changed?"

"No, that's still what I'm pursuing."

"That……"

"I only like happy endings, Wanda."

Mike smiled, looking down at Wanda in his arms: "I don't like any storyline with even a hint of tragedy. So, Wanda, I really like the illusion you've created for me, but you'd better think carefully about the story you're going to tell for this illusion. After all, it concerns whether I'll spare Pietro Maximov's life. Since you've chosen to be my wife, then be her and spend the rest of your life with me."

Wanda: "..."
