Volume 5: The Young Wolf Seeks Home Chapter 62: Perhaps the Dark Justice League will be more serious without Zack Kang?
"They are fine, they are just unconscious due to weakness."
In the medical room of Osborne Tower, Mason took off his medical gloves and explained to Black Bolt and the Richards brothers and sisters who came over after hearing the news:
“It may be that he stayed in the quantum channel for too long and caused a mental shock, but he is generally healthy.
Perhaps Ms. Janet van Dyne used some secret method to protect their minds, so that they were not distorted by the microscopic world, so they only need to rest for a few hours to wake up. "
Black Bolt nodded.
The silent old king stared at the four people on the hospital beds. He knew them. They were Hank Pym's wife, his daughter and son-in-law, and his son-in-law's daughter, but not Hank's granddaughter...
Well, the family relationship is a little complicated.
However, Lao Wang's expression at this moment was very sad. His city had moved to the new world, and the awakening of the first batch of new aliens had just been held yesterday, representing the reconstruction of the population and civilization.
However, in the destroyed vision, the old friends from the old times have disappeared in the past, so the four people in front of them must be rescued!
They are the only remaining memorials of their lost homeland.
"We've been with this machine for fourteen years..."
After changing his clothes and taking a shower, Franklin Richards, who finally looked no longer dirty, pushed the wheelchair that his frail sister was sitting in. The former "Little Bully of the Wasteland" said with some surprise:
"We didn't even know there were four living people, a talking mouse and a tree man hidden in the machine. Mom didn't find out either."
"Brother, that's not a mouse, it's an interstellar raccoon, it has a name."
The weak but talented Valeria Richards corrected her brother's statement. She looked at the unconscious little girl who was about her age in the medical room in front of her, and a smile appeared at the corners of her pale mouth.
This little cutie, who is much more mature than her peers, was truly happy for the survival of her compatriots, and of course she did not forget to express her gratitude to Mason.
"You should return to your healing pod, Valeria."
Mason squatted down, scratched the nose of the weak little genius, took out a candy and handed it to her, saying:
"Your illness requires a long period of rest and you cannot move around too frequently. I will prepare some medicine for you tomorrow."
"Yes, Mr. Mason, please."
Valeria thanked him politely.
But her brother, who had been trained by the wasteland to be a vicious bad boy, didn't care at all. He felt that Mason had taken so many things from their base, and curing his sister's illness was what he should do.
After all, they paid.
"Hey, Mason, when are you going to give me back the helmet you took?"
Seeing Mason was about to leave, the thin Franklin chased after him and said:
"I can't protect my sister without that thing."
"This is not a wasteland anymore. No one here will hurt you again."
Mason looked back at this vicious and cruel little bully. He pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose and said:
"You and Valeria can live well here without having to fight anymore, and therefore you no longer need the Ant King Helmet.
Besides, Ant-Man and his family are now determined to be alive, so the authority you should apply for is not with me. The second generation of Ant-Man and two generations of Wasp are both alive.
If you want to use Dr. Pym's technology, you should ask them."
"But you have the final say here."
Franklin squinted his eyes and said:
"Shouldn't we discuss this matter with the boss? What does it matter if the Pyms are alive? You can send them to death with just a word or even a look... Uh, okay, I shouldn't have said that.
But you know what I mean.”
"Your character is a big problem!"
Mason said seriously:
"It's okay to be deceitful in the wasteland, but you have to learn to adapt to the new environment. Talk to your sister more often. This 'wise man' will teach you the rules."
After saying that, Mason strode away from here, and Valeria turned her wheelchair to her brother's side and whispered to him that he was too reckless, so Franklin could only smile and tell his sister not to be angry.
She was too frail to have strong emotions.
"Mason Cooper!"
When Mason left the medical area and was about to prepare the room to welcome the old wolf's "return of the dead", a sharp scream sounded from the corner.
He turned around and saw the Star Raccoon rushing towards him with red eyes, and the tree man next to him also waved vines to try to entangle Mason.
But Poison Ivy, who had been waiting nearby, just waved her hand, and the vines that were flying towards Mason were controlled to wrap around Rocket Raccoon and pin him to the ground.
This move made the tree man Groot’s dark little eyes widen.
It looked at Poison Ivy as if it had seen something miraculous.
"Why did you attack me?"
Mason squatted down and said to the raccoon who was holding a table knife as a sword:
"Because I destroyed the world? Did Harry tell you that it's also my hometown? Do you think destroying my hometown will make me happy?"
"No! I don't give a shit about your bullshit world!"
Rocket yelled:
"I'm an interstellar raccoon, and that's not my hometown! But why didn't you look for it before you destroyed it? Maybe Quill and Mantis are in the wasteland.
Maybe they've been waiting for Groot and I to join them.
You killed them!
You killed my friends."
"First of all, I didn't kill your friends. I haven't even met them."
Mason stressed:
"Secondly, the great transfer seventeen years ago took away most people. If your friends are still alive, they are most likely in a parallel world.
Finally, I think you should accept reality, Rocket.
The Guardians of the Galaxy in your memory may have already been…"
"Shut up!"
The captain's words made the raccoon even angrier.
Seeing that it was about to detonate some dangerous device, Ivy had no choice but to manipulate Groot's vines to grow plant spores to inject it with neurotoxins, causing the angry raccoon to quickly fall into a coma.
"Take it down, and I'll meet it again after it calms down."
Mason said to Poison Ivy:
"By the way, keep this tree man here too. Ivy, can you understand what Groot is saying?"
"able."
Poison Ivy brushed her long fiery red hair, gently stroked Groot's bark, and said with a strange expression:
“It’s easy to understand that plants can communicate in plant language. I just don’t understand why this miraculous herbaceous life must stubbornly evolve vocal cords to simulate the language of carbon-based life.
But I do need an assistant, Mason.
The seeds I brought back from the Forbidden Forest can no longer be planted. Its magic has begun to dissipate. I must find a suitable place in the wasteland to plant it.
Groot will help me recreate that magical forest.
Caring for plant life comes easily to it; it is what it was born to do.”
"I have no objection, as long as you can convince it."
Mason shrugged and said:
"Take Rocket with you as your assistant. Maybe he'll calm down after digging for a couple of days. I still have to prepare for the reception.
So, they're left to you, ok?
Remember not to let the raccoons get close to Harley's two dogs. Harley has been training them to catch strange things these days. Rocket is so small, and the consequences of being targeted by the Amazon War Hounds are...
Tsk, I guess it won’t be very good.”

"Are you ready, both of you? The Speed Force Express is about to leave."
In the Bat Cave, Little Flash was warming up at ten times the speed of sound while he said to the old wolf who was supporting the mumbling Phantom Cat:
"It may feel a little bumpy when you travel across the world for the first time, but that's normal. Don't be afraid. Mason is ready, and your family is waiting there."
"I have to thank you for your hospitality, even though there was a small misunderstanding when we met before."
Logan glanced at Batman behind him, and the tough guy nodded to him as a farewell.
When Xiao Shan opened the time tunnel, Old Wolf helped Phantom Cat take a few steps forward, and before stepping in, he threw a few things at the old man's feet.
That was a broken bug.
The old wolf bared his teeth and said:
"I know you have a habit of bugging strangers, but you'll have to work a little harder to locator a beast-like being, Bat.
You have a nice place.
If I have a chance, I will come to visit you next time. In addition, you must quickly find the dangerous factor in your manor. It is still there, I can feel it. "
The master watched Logan enter the space-time rift with an expressionless face. At the moment the rift closed, he squatted down, looked at the wreckage of the locator under his feet, and counted.
"Three were broken, which means there are still two that were successfully placed."
In the darkness, the master smiled evilly and then returned to normal.
This Wolverine really underestimated the Dark Knight's methods. Beast perception...tsk, it's not like he hadn't put a locator on old Peter before.
The master had already mastered this difficult method of dealing with extrasensory perception in the offensive and defensive battles with Spider-Man.
But the dangerous factor pointed out by Laolang made him frown. Ah Fu was already secretly checking the people in the manor, but it would obviously take time to get the result.
At this moment, Mrs. Martha, who was observing the situation in the Batcave through a camera in Wayne Manor, was making the bed for her beloved baby while complaining in her heart with an expressionless face:
“What a disgusting bastard!
I finally managed to persuade old Ah Fu to give me the power to clean up the room for my little cutie, but you bastards just can't stand seeing the family reunion, right?
I will kill you sooner or later!
Haha, but I was prepared. Ah Fu's thorough investigation will eventually only lead to the "stand-in" arranged in advance by the Assassin's League. I am still safe.
I can still stay here with my baby..."
Mrs. Martha took some time to tidy up Mr. Wayne's room, and then went to the kitchen with the menu for today's midnight snack.
She didn't dare to cook dinner for baby Bruce herself again. She was almost caught by the sharp-eyed master last time.
However, she could still choose the ingredients for cooking. While humming a song, she connected the communication device embedded in her ear bone and said:
"Oswald, have you found out about the Court of Owls? Are the Kane family really involved?"
"There is no substantial evidence at this time, ma'am, but it is certain that the Court of Owls is indeed plotting against Batman."
At this time, the Penguin Butler who was planning the next gangster action in the Next Life Bar respectfully reported:
“Also, Batwoman’s identity has been confirmed.
She is the widow of your cousin in this world. She has not used this name for seven years, but she appeared again during the Assassin's League's attack on Gotham not long ago."
"My relatives in this world have become my little baby's former companions?"
Mrs. Martha covered her mouth and chuckled.
"That's great, I need to talk to her and ask her to come to Wayne Manor, also, the Court of Owls needs a new leader.
You contact Thomas and make arrangements later.
This is my son's Gotham.
I will make him the king of this city!"
At the same time, in the reception room of Osborne Tower, Old Wolf's family was invited by Mason in advance. Just as they were eagerly waiting, a crack opened by the speed force suddenly appeared at the agreed time.
The old wolf in cowboy clothes walked out with Phantom Cat, and his two children ran towards them. His wife Vanessa also came forward with tears in her eyes and hugged her husband.
Although I don’t know why the old husband suddenly regained his youthful appearance, it doesn’t matter.
In this damn era, it’s enough that my family is safe.
Mason was also planning to go up and talk to the old wolf, but as soon as he stood up, he was seen by the Phantom Cat, who had been tortured by the Red Skull for sixteen years and became insane.
The X-Man, whose mind had been completely disturbed, stared at Mason in a daze. She muttered to herself and raised her hand, trying to touch Mason's face.
She said:
"You... I know you... beautiful eyes... little Maia... I'm sorry to leave you alone there... I have other kids to see off... I'm sorry..."
Mason was stunned by the intermittent words, and then he understood what Phantom Cat meant.
He shook his head, glanced at the old wolf who was reunited with his family, and then reached out his hand to help up the aunt who had brought him from the doomsday of nuclear war to a safe world seventeen years ago.
He patted Phantom Cat's shoulder gently and whispered:
"Yes, I'm Maia. I'm safe. You finally found me. Come, I'll take you to meet my friends. Do you remember Anna? She's been looking for you all these years."
"Anna, my good friend..."
Phantom Cat had a silly smile on her old face that still had traces of burns. She could feel Mason's breath making her feel at ease, so she stopped resisting and was supported by Mason to sit aside.
Old Wolf looked at Mason's back and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The reunion between men was worth celebrating even if there was no welcome. He had been curious about where Mason's unique traits came from, until he and the master had fought each other in person.
As expected, he is trained by Batman, so awesome!
"Whoosh"
A gust of wind blew, and the Flash reappeared in the hall, accompanied by the old knight Jason Blood in a suit and tie.
This guy has been wandering around the wasteland for some time. He missed it when The Flash sent Peter and Lawyer Ma back last time. Now it's time to send him home.
"Don't forget your mission back there, Jason."
Mason reminded:
"Choose your partners carefully. I wanted to send Zha Kang back to help, but he hasn't come back yet."
"You'd better not."
The Demon Knight snorted when he heard the name, and said expressionlessly:
"If I have to work with Constantine for a long time, I would rather go to hell now."
"Then let Xiao Zha contact him."
Mason was embarrassed for a moment and said:
“Zha Kang will be in charge of connecting with you, but his identity is sensitive and he can’t stay there for long, so you still have to do the specific actions. If you encounter any trouble, go to the Afterlife Bar in Gotham.
If Selina isn't here, find Charles or Arasaka Hanako."
"I have carried out covert missions in my more than a thousand years of life, Mason Cooper. You don't need to give me such detailed instructions."
The old knight responded to Mason with indifference, then he took out an exquisite knight's dagger from his arms and handed it to Mason, which looked like a work of art.
He said:
“Give it to Xiaomei for me, and I won’t say goodbye to that girl. I heard that she had a daughter… Although I don’t know what happened, I will bless her.
If she needs a demon's blessing."
Jason Blood, like an old-fashioned gentleman, took a last look through the window at the wasteland where he had been stranded for several months, as if he wanted to remember it forever.
As Mason waved goodbye, the Demon Knight turned around, put his hands in his pockets, walked into the tunnel opened by Xiao Shan and disappeared.
When he came here, he was a demon host who adhered to his own rules.
When he left, he still adhered to the rules, but the thousand years of confusion were no longer there. He saw that the desolate world would never be repeated in his hometown, which might be the final redemption that the lost knight could find.
"My heart is burning with anger, all because of the desolate world. I am not afraid of the evil spirits, I will kill them and lead them to the underworld!"
Itlegen was also inspired to recite a poem, and this time he rarely spoke ill of his host. Perhaps even the devil couldn't stand that dark ending?
