"You'll meet her soon," Damian said, unwilling to go into too much detail.
Jane nodded, not particularly concerned about the matter.
They both began chatting casually about Asgard and interesting things as they walked towards the room where the whole family was.
Upon arriving, they both found a rather interesting scene.
Carol was beaming brightly, and pride seemed to overflow from her.
The others only had a stiff smile as they tried to talk about other topics and avoided looking at Carol.
Carol had been smiling proudly for half an hour while chatting with Alice about the feeling of cosmic energy.
Upon hearing Damian arrive, everyone immediately glanced towards the two.
"Honey, you should have brought me to your side immediately when Alice transformed," Carol said, appearing instantly next to Damian and complaining.
"Don't be dramatic," Damian said, shaking his head and smiling.
"What happened for you to leave so quickly? The girls said there were zombies," Ana said, looking at Damian.
"Actually, that's what happened. The information is in the database," Damian said, unwilling to explain again.
"That's crazy," Natasha said, laughing.
"The craziest thing that used to happen was an alien invasion," Sophia joked.
"Now they have to be careful, imagine if they get bitten by a zombie?" Ophelia said, laughing.
"Speaking of aliens, my mother's subordinates seem to have captured a Yautja," Monica said suddenly.
"Oh? And what will they do with it?" Damian asked curiously.
"I'm not sure, but first they were teaching it the language to communicate, surely she'll ask for technology or something," Monica shrugged.
"Well... with its strength, even if there's an invasion, it should be able to handle it," Damian said, not particularly concerned.
"Although I also heard something about increased longevity," Monica said as if she had suddenly remembered.
Damian suddenly also remembered that the blood of the Yautjas indeed had that kind of effect, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.
"That wouldn't be bad for me, I'm already 30," Jane said, looking at Damian.
"You're still young," Damian said.
"What if you rejuvenate me a bit? A few 5 years wouldn't hurt," Jane said, looking at him intently.
"Is that what you came back for?" Damian said, looking at her speechlessly.
"No, but one thing doesn't negate the other. Now that I remember, a few days ago I think I saw a gray hair in my hair," Jane said, thinking.
"My little mortal Jane is already aging," Monica said, jumping on Jane and hugging her while pretending to cry.
"Don't get so close to me, you damn bloodsucker," Jane said with an annoyed blush as she pushed Monica's face away.
"Hey!" all the vampires said, looking at Jane speechlessly.
"Maybe you're jealous? If you tell Daddy to turn you into a vampire, you know he won't refuse," Monica mocked.
"Well, I'm not sure about that," Jane said with some doubt.
"What are you hesitating about? Trust me, it feels good, just try it," Monica said like the whisper of a demon.
Jane just looked disdainfully at Monica, who seemed like a friend offering her suspicious substances.
As for being a vampire, she was surely the human who knew the most, after all, she lived with several vampires for years.
"I'll think about it," Jane finally said, unable to make an immediate decision.
If it had been a few years ago, she would have accepted without much problem, but now she's in a relationship and would like to at least discuss it with Thor.
"Well, let's move on to dinner, it's time," Sophia said, smiling slightly.
At the table, as always, everyone began to converse.
Carol had a particularly happy smile while eating to Ana's irritation.
"Come on, Jane, tell us about the things you did in Asgard," Monica said, looking at Jane.
"Let's see... first I explored all of Asgard, it's big but not that much, there were all kinds of strange animals, then I traveled with Thor to the other realms and also explored them."
"I met all kinds of creatures, dwarves, elves, giants, and even dragons," Jane said with a smile.
"I tried many of the foods from each realm, some looked a little gross but I tried them anyway, many tasted better than they looked."
"Your trip was really comfortable, I lived among giant beasts and ate and drank all sorts of things," Monica complained jokingly.
"You didn't take me with you either," Jane said, sticking her tongue out slightly.
"A little mortal like you wouldn't survive the trip," Monica said, sighing and shaking her head.
"You..." Jane said, looking at her annoyed, she really hated that word.
"Don't bother your sister," Sophia said without looking at Monica as she ate.
Jane just looked embarrassed at Sophia for her words, it was supposed to be an open secret.
All the women chuckled softly at Jane's expressions.
"Changing the subject, should we start the second part of the event?" Cortana asked, looking at Damian.
"Yes, even though the threat of the Celestials has diminished, it doesn't mean we should relax with the expansion of the system," Damian nodded.
"Hm," Cortana agreed.
The situation put him at a disadvantage in his opinion; his greatest advantage was his incredible intellect and his ability to create all kinds of tools to overcome his obstacles.
Entering the event only with his body is no different than entering naked.
Although his hand-to-hand combat skills were decent, he knew that against monsters like Cap or Natasha, he would be taken down in seconds without his gadgets.
Tony paced back and forth while thinking of solutions.
Suddenly, he came up with a rather unpleasant but useful idea in the situation.
With a dismayed expression, he walked to his laboratory before arriving in front of a glass-covered table.
On the table were several walnut-sized spheres.
They were the most advanced prototypes of nanotechnology he had managed to create.
The glass lifted before Tony extended his hand and took three spheres.
With Jarvis' guidance, these quickly turned into the glove of his armor; still, the armor was a bit thin and didn't have the same level of armor or force field.
Ironically, he had the right energy for nanotechnology, but he still lacked development in the nanobots; they weren't as small as he would like; many parts could be smaller to make way for more important things.
The only advantage was that even if each nanorobot had a small amount of energy, when they all came together, the energy was quite significant.
Tony extended his palm towards a special wall before letting out a concentrated beam from his palm; despite the power of the beam, it only left a black circle on the wall.
Tony nodded slightly before looking up at the clock on his wall.
There was still an hour until the event started.
"Jarvis, prepare everything for the event and run some tests on the nanorobots," Tony said, placing the spheres back in place.
"Yes, sir," Jarvis said suddenly, from the glass, the spheres began to take various forms to check the functionality of each nanorobot.
Tony didn't stay to watch this and arrived in the room of his house; looking around, he didn't see anyone, so he began to search the house.
He finally arrived at the gym where he saw Pepper practicing in front of a punching bag.
Her strong punches shook the specially designed punching bag with force.
Morgan was also in the room; she was sitting on a yoga ball while watching her mother.
Pepper had taken a liking to training since she got magic; he couldn't blame her since the feeling was intoxicating.
Breathing faster than usual, Pepper stopped hitting the punching bag before turning and looking at Tony.
"Are you ready?" Pepper asked with a slight smile.
Looking at her smile like that, Tony couldn't help but remember the younger Pepper when she started working alongside him.
Magic had clearly rejuvenated her quite a bit.
"Yes, although I'll complain to Damian about how unfair it is not being able to bring my armor," Tony said, shaking his head.
Of course, he was joking since he didn't even tell him he wanted to bring it.
Morgan, seeing her father, also ran to him before jumping into his arms.
"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Tony said, smiling at his daughter.
"Can't I go with you?" Morgan asked, looking at her father with puppy eyes.
"You can't; when you're older, you'll be able to go," Tony said, refusing; even if he wanted to, he had no way to take her.
Seeing her father refuse so firmly, Morgan knew there was no way to convince him; she could only pout slightly dissatisfied.
"What if we go to sleep?" Tony said, looking at Pepper.
"Sure, I'll take a shower and go to bed," Pepper said, nodding.
"Then let's go, little one," Tony said, taking Morgan with him.
"Can I sleep with you?" Morgan asked, looking at Tony with teary eyes.
"You're quite the actress," Tony said, looking at her speechlessly as he walked to his own room.
Morgan immediately hugged her father with a victorious smile.
Half an hour later, Tony was lying on his side hugging Morgan, who already had her eyes closed and was sleeping.
Pepper was also lying on the other side, asleep.
Carefully, he got up trying not to wake them before going to his laboratory.
"Everything in order, Jarvis?" Tony said, approaching the table.
"Everything is in order and ready for deployment," Jarvis said.
"Now comes the unpleasant part," Tony said, grimacing.
The spheres quickly lost their shape before turning into a glass.
Inside the glass, there seemed to be black liquid.
Tony quickly poured the glass into his mouth and felt the nanorobots going down his throat; as the glass emptied, it also dissolved down Tony's throat.
"Damn, that was unpleasant."
"It was like drinking water with pieces of glass," Tony said, clearing his throat to pass the discomfort.
"Damn it, Cortana, if I don't enter the event with my nanobots, I'll fight you," Tony muttered as he continued to clear his throat on his way to bed.
Guys, I'm sorry I couldn't post a chapter on Friday, I went to visit my aunt and uncle who live in the country and the signal was very bad, constantly the pages didn't open or it kicked me out of the account.
