Chapter 161 Kidnapping the Scarlet Witch, Chapter Returns!
In that instant, Wanda seemed to see Pietro again, riddled with bullets by Ultron that year...
Toby shrugged. "That's right. In this universe, your brother is gone, but in my universe, the timeline is still in 2012, and he's alive and well, living with... another you."
"And although my universe doesn't have Vision, it does have a major component of Vision, Tony's artificial butler Jarvis. I can get Tony to give you a subsystem."
"Why don't you try virtual dating?"
Toby's words undoubtedly tempted Wanda, but a look of hesitation still appeared on her face.
After all, although her brother and Vision's predecessor still exist in another universe, they are no longer the two people from her universe.
Especially his brother Pietro, who already has a sister in another universe, can he really accept joining as well?
Toby extended his hand to Wanda and smiled, "You have nothing left in this universe. Staying will only plunge you into a deeper abyss of sorrow. Come, let's go to another universe and start a new life together."
Wanda was still hesitating when a hand patted her shoulder from behind.
Wanda turned around and saw that it was Natasha.
Natasha smiled and said, "He's right. I understand what it feels like to lose family. If there's a chance to be with family again, it's never a mistake to hold on to it."
"My sister Yelena also disappeared in the last Annihilation event. This time, Toby brought her back, and I'm preparing to leave the Avengers to reunite with her. You should never be alone; you should have a home of your own."
Wanda looked up and found that not only Natasha, but even her Avengers were looking at her with encouraging eyes.
Although they didn't speak, Wanda understood that they were all encouraging her to pursue her own home in another universe.
One... belonging to the Maksimov family that no longer exists in this universe.
Finally, Wanda turned her head again, her eyes now resolute, and reached out her hand to Toby, who was radiating six-colored light.
She made up her mind; he was going to live in another universe!
And just like that, Toby successfully abducted a top-tier fighter...
One week later...
Today is the day Toby leaves this universe.
After defeating Thanos's army and resurrecting everyone, Toby didn't go back immediately, but stayed in this universe for a week.
One purpose is to see how different this universe is from other universes, just like a trip.
Secondly, Tony is still improving the quantum channel, changing it from temporary to permanent, which will take time.
That's right. After discussions between Toby and the Avengers of this universe, they finally decided to connect the two universes with a quantum tunnel that would allow them to travel to each other at any time.
If their respective universes encounter a major crisis that is difficult to resolve, it will be equivalent to having the combined forces of two universes facing it together, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the power of their two universes.
Moreover, even if the combined forces of the two universes cannot solve the problem, the people in the universe suffering the crisis can still evacuate to another universe through the quantum channel.
This is equivalent to leaving both universes a way out.
This is a deal that only benefits both universes and has no drawbacks.
Speaking of buying and selling, Toby also plans to open a branch of Parker Industries in this universe.
Although this universe is more than a decade ahead of his own and its technology is far more advanced, in terms of medicine, apart from Dr. Zhao Hailun's nanomedical pod, there hasn't actually been much progress compared to his universe.
Therefore, Parker Industries' regenerative agents have a huge market in this universe!
And this Tony in the universe, just like Tony in Toby's universe, has great faith in Toby's business acumen, so he generously took on all the expenses for establishing Parker Industries' branch in this universe.
They bought a building in downtown New York City and gave it to Toby to set up a branch office.
Just like in the previous universe, Toby gave Tony 10% of the shares, making him the second largest shareholder of the subsidiary.
Finally, Toby's Parker Industries branch was quickly established within that week.
In Toby's own universe, he was a hands-off manager of the main company, Parker Industries, so it was even less likely that he would personally manage the branch companies in this universe.
Therefore, he decided to find someone in this universe to do his work for him.
But who are we looking for?
Oh dear, this is really hard to guess!
You agree, right, this former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent from Russia's Red House, the Avengers of Earth, Ms. Natasha Normanoff?
That's right, in this universe, the chosen employee of Toby's branch office is still Black Widow.
There's no way around it, she's just too useful.
With management experience, excellent abilities, a trusted insider, and a reliable confidante, who is more suitable to manage the branch office than her?
Toby definitely wouldn't have thought of that!
In this universe, Natasha, being an ordinary person, originally planned to retire from the front lines of combat after finding her sister following this incident.
Now, a rising position as branch president is placed before her, and she has no reason to refuse it.
Therefore, almost without hesitation, Natasha retired seamlessly from the Avengers and took over as president of Parker Industries, enjoying the same ordinary life of a wealthy person as Natasha in the Toby Universe.
This also marked the end of Natasha's arduous life in this universe...
Let's go back to the present.
Three people are standing on the quantum teleportation platform at this moment.
The one in the center position is naturally Toby, who is going back to his own universe.
To Toby's right is Wanda, who is going to follow Toby to start a new life in his universe.
On the left is Captain America carrying the three Infinity Stones—Reality, Power, and Soul—in preparation for returning them.
Toby had no intention of taking possession of the three Infinity Stones from the other universe.
It's not because he's actually that rule-abiding, that he won't take what isn't his own.
Rather, it was because his spider-sense told him that while possessing these three Infinity Stones from other universes would indeed have some benefits in enhancing his strength, the disadvantages would definitely outweigh the advantages.
A great man once said, "If you possess a key artifact from another universe that is crucial in combating darkness, then calamity from that other universe will surely befall you as well..."
Toby had great faith in his spider-sense, so he didn't hesitate to expel the three Infinity Stones, which didn't belong to his universe, from his body and give them to the Avengers of this universe to return.
His universe isn't without those three Infinity Stones; if he really wanted them, it would only be a matter of time before he got them.
He doesn't need to take on the calamities of another, or even multiple, universes for such a small benefit.
Toby nodded to Tony at the control panel: "After I give the quantum tunnel design you gave me to Tony in my universe, and we'll meet again after the quantum tunnel is built in my universe."
Tony nodded, holding little Morgan in one arm, and laughed, "No problem, I'll definitely come over for drinks often, so my other self can see his future adorable daughter with his own eyes~"
"Little Morgan, now say goodbye to your Uncle Parker."
Little Morgan waved to Toby and said in a childish voice, "Goodbye, Uncle Parker~"
"Okay, next time Uncle Parker will bring your other dad to visit you." Toby couldn't help but smile at Tony's adorable little daughter.
Isn't this adorable and sensible little Morgan more suitable to inherit the position of the second-generation Iron Man than that selfish mother gorilla?
