Marvel's Superman

(bonus chapter)

Since Thanos snapped his fingers, the whole world seemed to have lost its vitality.

In New York's Central Park, it was hard even to see a bird these days.

This showed that Thanos was really fair.

He didn't aim at all races in the universe but wiped out all living creatures with the essence of life.

But after Luke snapped his fingers, it seemed that everything came back.

When the alloy doors of the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarter's building were opened one by one, the sun shone in, and light fell into the atrium.

Going outside, Hawkeye saw a few birds pass by, and there were faint voices of alarm.

"We succeeded!"

He said in an uncertain tone.

Not only Hawkeye but the other superheroes too.

As if they were in a dream, they were afraid that they would wake up and see the cruel reality.

"I'll make a phone call!"

When Black Widow heard this, she immediately turned on the com and contacted Nick Fury from the missing persons' list.

The one-eyed chief had turned into ash with Agent Hill.

"Natasha! What happened?"

The com was quickly switched on, and Fury's deep voice sounded.

Black Widow was overjoyed and hugged Hawkeye tightly.

"I'm going to find Laura and the kids..."

The latter wiped away the tears of excitement and ran to the underground garage regardless of other things.

He couldn't wait to see his wife and children and reunite with them.

What had been lost was often more precious when it was recovered.

"Go ahead and say hello to your children for me."

Black Widow nodded and agreed; there was nothing more important than that.

After watching Hawkeye leave, she told Nick Fury about the nightmare they had experienced during this time, in short, that was as easy to understand as possible.

She believed that with the acceptance ability of the one-eyed Director, he should be able to digest it quickly.

And in the hall.

"Hey."

Scott, the Ant-Man, answered the phone with uneasy feelings. Then came Hank Pym's angry, loud voice.

"Scott, where are you, you bastard? And my van? Why is my van missing?"

Scott had never felt the old-fashioned Hank Pym's voice was so pleasing until now.

He couldn't wait to kiss his phone and vent his inner excitement and joy.

"Hank! Is it really you? You're all back?!"

Scott asked again.

"Hope, talk to this fool. I'm afraid I'll be infected by him and become an idiot!"

Hank Pym was as mean and bitter as ever. In this respect, he was very similar to the most hated Stark family.

"A success! We did it!"

Seeing the missing Pym family call, Captain America was sure that the snap had brought back the missing people.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his boiling emotions.

"I wonder what happened to Bucky ... and Sam?"

Captain America resisted the idea of contacting his friend, as he had more important things to do.

To be honest, seeing Bucky turn to dust, the feeling of losing a comrade and partner again was terrible!

For Captain America, this was no easier than learning the news of his girlfriend Peggy's death.

"Yes! It worked! It wasn't easy!"

Iron Man nodded and agreed.

He sat back in his chair for a moment, his nano-armor retracting into the Ark reactor on his chest.

The strength in his body felt like it had been drained, and his body was paralyzed.

"Wait a minute, we could have a party, tell Strange to do some juggling, and Peter Parker -- the little guy who dragged your shield away at the German airport last time ... forget it, I'd better sleep first."

Iron Man spoke to himself. His tired face was slightly relaxed.

Then, there was a palm on his shoulder.

It was Captain America!

"Tony, thanks for your hard work."

Captain America's words contained too many emotions.

Only he and Iron Man could understand the meaning.

"You, too. I heard that it was almost hammered by Thanos with one punch before? Haha."

Iron Man chuckled twice and continued, "By the way, I'm going to retire like an elderly. Stark Industries is temporarily left to Happy to take care of it."

"I want to find a quiet place with Pepper, rest for a while... come to my house for dinner later."

"Take that shield back. It's taking up too much space."

Iron Man had always maintained a proud personality. Even reconciliation was said so tactfully.

"No problem, then I'll leave it to ... Sam."

Captain America subconsciously wanted to say Bucky, but considering there may be a fight and his relaxed relationship with Iron Man would drop to freezing point again, he quickly changed his mouth.

The two smiled at each other, and the previous misunderstandings and grudges were over.

"You seem to have been forgotten."

Carol stepped forward, looked at Luke, who took off the glove, and smiled softly, "But I still want to thank you for all this, Mr. Savior."

"You're welcome. Saving the universe -- this is also a very … fresh experience for me."

Luke smiled back. He brought back half of the lost lives in the universe with a snap.

To some extent, it was indeed worthy of the title of 'Savior'.

"You see, they all have their own things to do. Carol, how about you? Don't you want to enjoy the victory?"

Luke asked softly.

"I don't have many acquaintances on earth. Right now, Fury is the only one. What's more, I didn't do anything, you took care of Thanos, and you're the one to snap your fingers. You are the great hero!"

Carol had her arms around her chest and faintly said, "Looking at what everyone is saying, there may be a ... party afterward."

"Maybe after I meet up with Fury, I'll have to leave Earth and go back to my ... what did you say last time?"

"Cosmic Policing."

Luke replied.

"That's right! Cosmic police."

Carol raised her eyebrows. This snap brought back lost lives but also brought back chaos and strife.

After all, there was a massive population boom, and it was hard to count.

There were good and innocent people.

There were also bad people and villains.

"Then, see you later."

Luke waved his hand. He didn't want to disturb the superheroes who were immersed in joy.

It was estimated that later, there would be a scene of reminiscing. There was no point in staying.

"Oh, there's a poor guy here."

Luke was going to leave the hall and go to the New York Sanctum to chat with Master Ancient One and meet the new Sorcerer Supreme, Strange.

But seeing a lost Thor, he couldn't help but walk over and pat his opponent's shoulder and jokingly say, " Need me to help you, snap my fingers again and bring your brother Loki back?"

For the other superheroes, their lost family and friends had returned to their side.

Everything was perfect!

Thor was the exception.

His brother Loki had his neck broken by Thanos.

His sister was destroyed along with Asgard.

His father returned to the embrace of Yggdrasil.

His mother died at the hands of the Dark Elves.

In a word, Thor still had nothing.

Even his favorite Mjölnir was gone, leaving only an axe to accompany him.

Playing Fortnite, he was often scolded as a newbie by teammates.

His former girlfriend, Jane Foster, couldn't stand the separation and finally broke up with him.

He wanted to find someone to talk to about his inner pain, but there was no one.

In this way, Thor's face had a gloomy, deeply sad expression.

"Forget it, that thing should be destroyed as soon as possible or kept separately in a secret place that no one knows."

The current king of Asgard was clear-headed as he shook his head.

"Loki ... let me continue to miss him. The younger brother, who exists in memory, is worry-free."

Luke raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Would you like to go with me to taste the delicious food? I guarantee it tastes better than fried chicken and barbecue. I believe Master Wong won't let you down."

"That place you mentioned, is there any wine?"

Thor put away his sentimental feelings and asked in a low voice.

"I just want to drink right now!"

Luke thought about it. There should be a lot of treasures in Kamar Taj's cellars.

Wong was also a good wine drinker. Daqu Maotai liquor, Sichuan liquor, Red Star sorghum liquor, Hengshui Laobaigan; he certainly had some on hand.

"Of course! We have enough drinks!"

Luke assured him.
