[Main HP Comprehensive British-American] Lolita - Chapter 39
“Now you should be honored,” Loki shouted triumphantly, watching the swarming Chitauri ships, “to be invited to witness me!”
“I think there’s something wrong with his brain,” Victoria said.
“I think so too.” Tony nodded solemnly, then looked at the huge wormhole that unfolded in the sky, “You stay here, I’ll go meet them, and take all the time to close the passage, is that clear?”
“I understand, thank you for your trust.”
Tony, who had already flown in midair, turned his head, “Then don’t let it go.”
“Do you know you’re wasting your time?” Loki’s slightly mocking voice sounded, “No one can stop the universe cube, not even a god.”
Victoria squatted down and cast a healing spell on Dr. Selvig, who was lying on the ground, “Doctor, can you hear me? Doctor?”
The old man let out a groan of pain, then got up as if he realized something, and looked at the alien spaceships that were as dense as flies all around in horror.
“My God…” He knelt down and covered his head helplessly, “What have I done…”
“It’s not your fault, Doctor, almost no one can resist the Mind Stone,” Victoria comforted, “but there’s no time for repentance, we must close the passage now.”
Dr. Selvig raised his head, “Who are you?”
“Victoria Stark, Tony’s sister, you can trust me.”
“The safety device,” the old man seemed to remember something, “I installed a safety device that can cut off the energy!”
“So we can now be sure that the Cosmic Cube can be controlled.” She smiled and looked at Loki.
“You betrayed me!” The half-kneeling man suddenly changed his face, and then roared, “You betrayed your god!”
“You’ve never been my master, and I’ve never been your follower.” The Doctor struggled to his feet and said to Loki.
Victoria looked at the surrounding blocks, and she could see familiar figures constantly fighting, but the movements were getting slower and more tired, and the Chitauri people kept pouring in, as if there was no end.
She was not human, but had been educated as a human for sixteen years; meanwhile, the years of isolation made her unable to empathize with their fate.
And now, strangely, she felt a kind of sadness and passion that she had not seen for a long time.
She thought of Miss Penelope, her first teacher, the red-haired, plump, smiling face that had been her mother’s form.
And the father in her mind, although she didn’t want to admit it, was indeed Voldemort. She had questioned him eagerly, and regarded his answers as authority, and later despised, overturned, and challenged everything he said. This is the relationship between father and child, and this is the process of a growing person.
So returning to her spiritual father will make her manipulated by him again?
No, it won’t.
Because this man is no longer the only refuge, no longer a symbol of patriarchy, this time, they are on equal footing, and she will do everything except obey.
“Miss Stark?” Dr. Selvig interrupted her meditation, “We have to break through the barrier of the universe cube and get in touch with the device itself, I suggest using Loki’s scepter—”
“No,” Victoria turned her head back with a confident smile she’d never seen before, “I can.”
“Stark—” Fury’s voice came through the earphones, and Tony turned a corner and managed to knock some Chitauri spaceships into the building.
“What? I’m busy,” he said.
“Nuclear bomb, there are still two minutes and thirty seconds.” Fury explained briefly.
“I see.” Tony hung up quickly, then switched to another channel, “Victoria, how’s your situation over there?”
“The passage can be closed at any time.” Victoria replied happily, her hand easily passed through the energy barrier of the universe cube, and gently placed it on the safety switch that cut off the energy, which made the two men present look at her dumbfounded. .
“Don’t close it yet, follow my instructions.”
“What happened?” She was sensitive to the solemnity in Tony’s tone.
“A bunch of idiots fired a nuke, and I have to figure out a way to get it down the wormhole.”
Thanks for the three years of living by Howard’s side, letting her know what a nuclear weapon is and what its explosion means.
“Do you want to go by yourself?”
“No one can fly faster than me.”
“I can–”
“But you have to be responsible for shutting down the device,” Tony interrupted, “and I can’t let you take the risk. You have no responsibility for New York. It’s me who should make the sacrifice.”
“Tony,” she said with a smile in her voice, “while my right hand is now on the device’s switch, my left is free. Tell me, where is it now?”
After a brief balance, he chose to trust her again, “From the north, there are ten seconds to approach the Manhattan Bridge.”
“Witness the miracle,” she emphasized, “Iron Man.”
Victoria closed her eyes, but her vision had never been so high and wide, she saw clouds, buildings, bridges, and—
“Found you,” she said softly.
Tony, who was above the Manhattan Bridge, saw the fast-moving missile slowly slow down, enveloped in layers of red mist until it came to a complete stop, and then rocketed upwards a few seconds later.
The red light and shadow finally disappeared into the depths of the wormhole, and at the same time, Victoria pressed the switch.
The sky returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
“I’ll leave the rest to you,” she said, looking at the remaining Chitauri soldiers, “Loki is still on the roof of the building, you can come and take him at any time.”
“1991.” Tony said suddenly.
“what?”
“Friday, December 17, 1991, Long Island, New York, car accident.”
Victoria realizes he is telling herself the time of the Howards’ deaths. She didn’t feel real, nor did she feel deep sadness, after learning of Howard’s death.
And at this moment, after Tony’s brief explanation, she realized that the two people who loved her dearly are no longer in the future, and this death is so real, exactly, there.
It robbed the world of a genius and created Tony Stark, a complex and contradictory hero.
“Thank you, Tony. I’ll say hello to Howard and Maria for you.”
“I never like to look back and look back, I only look to the future,” Tony said. “But now I’m willing to believe that you can really turn history around, since you’ve let me witness miracles.”
Victoria laughed, the sun shining on the metal sign of the building, making the name ‘Stark’ sparkle. “Goodbye, Tony.”
The other party was silent for a few seconds, then said in his usual cynical tone, “Goodbye, Victoria.”
After finishing the call, Victoria turned and walked towards Dr. Selvig and Loki, and she quickly revised their memories, making them forget the fact that they were able to resist the energy of the cosmic Rubik’s Cube.
Voldemort thought she was somewhere between the ether and the real world, but at the moment when she touched the cosmic Rubik’s Cube, no one in this world knew herself better than her.
She was not the medium of Voldemort’s speculation, nor the ether itself that Joshua deduced.
If the ether is the sword, then she is both the scabbard and the one who holds the sword.
A long time ago, the universe was so young, and human beings had not yet been born, there were such stones, they were almost the earliest and most powerful existence in the universe – the Infinity Stones.
That night, Loki told them this:
“And the ether is the gem of reality. All scientific codes and laws of nature are meaningless before it. It changes everything, it destroys everything, and it creates everything.”
This was the kind of fire Voldemort was looking for. He got some information from Loki, and these clues, plus Victoria, were enough to lead him to the location of the Reality Gem.
“But of course you won’t get it.” Victoria muttered to herself, looking at the abandoned container yard in front of her.
This is London, England, and where the Cosmic Cube informs her of the Reality Gem.
“Tom!” Victoria Apparated back to the huge ship where Voldemort was.
“Welcome back,” said the man leisurely. “Those Muggles have just arrived and are going to celebrate. Aren’t you going to talk to your brother?”
“No,” she took Voldemort’s hand, “I think we’re going back.”
There was a rare look of panic on Voldemort’s face. “But we haven’t got the—”
A red light flashed, the room was empty, and there was no trace of any wizards.
“Sir, they’re leaving.” Jarvis’ voice sounded in Tony’s ears.
Tony’s hand holding the wine glass paused for a second, then returned to normal, raising his arms and shouting, “Letthepartybegin!”
The author has something to say: If you don’t understand the settings of Marvel’s infinite gems, you can Baidu. The reality gem is so big that when I write it, I feel more and more guilty==
