Chapter 80. The Zhang Family
Chapter 80. Time to Go Home
Under normal circumstances, reconstruction after civil war is extremely difficult and complex.
Whether it's the destruction and reconstruction of infrastructure, the difficult recovery from economic collapse, or the crisis of trust in social structures, starting over is extremely difficult.
There are exceptions to everything.
Because of the vampire incident, Steve's international prestige has reached an astonishing level.
So before coming to Sokovia, he contacted the United Nations, and many national disaster relief organizations worked together to secure unprecedented international support for Sokovia's reconstruction.
Moreover, there is the involvement of Stark Industries, with various infrastructure equipment, robots for disaster relief, and a large amount of capital and material investment.
This made the post-disaster reconstruction work a bit easier.
After dealing with the rebels, Steve politely met with the president of Sokovia before rushing back to the base, his mind preoccupied with Bucky's whereabouts.
Inside the base, red energy surged, surrounding Pietro and Peter and lifting them as they moved rapidly across the ceiling.
This is Wanda testing her newly awakened chaos magic.
Steve glanced at Wanda in surprise, seemingly not expecting such power within this seemingly frail girl. He said, "That's incredibly powerful, Doctor. Is magic like her common, or are all kinds of magic this diverse?"
Ji Yuan nodded and slowly said, "Just like superpowers, there are many kinds of magic, such as the most common white magic and black magic on Earth, as well as various kinds of natural magic."
"Asgardian runic magic and nature magic, unique magic found on other planets, and dimensional magic from different dimensions, etc."
"Now there's a new kind of sacred magic on Earth, and who knows, there might be technological magic in the future, as well as many niche magics practiced by very few people."
Steve keenly observed Asgard and other planets, saying, "What is Asgard? And what about the magic on other planets? Could it be that there are aliens?"
Ji Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on his lips: "The universe is so big, there are even gods, not to mention you've seen the existence of parallel universes before, it's normal for there to be aliens."
"As for Asgard, you'll soon be able to meet the prince there, and you might even get along very well."
Steve's eyelids twitched, keenly sensing that Ji Yuan's words seemed to conceal another meaning, but he didn't think much of it. After all, everyone has their own expertise. He said, "Where did Tony go? He didn't go back to New York, did he?"
Ji Yuan replied, "He went to buy materials and probably won't be back until later. What's up, do you need to see him?"
Steve nodded and said, "I'm planning to go to Siberia to find Bucky, and I'd like Stark to come with me. You know, it's best to settle things face to face."
On one side is his comrade's child, and on the other is his best brother. He wants the two of them to clear up their misunderstanding as soon as possible and work together to eliminate the culprit behind this incident—Hydra.
"No need to wait for Tony, you can go by yourself. He's focused on something else right now, and he definitely won't go if you ask him to come with you," Ji Yuan said.
"Alright," Steve nodded. "Then I'll trouble the doctor to open a portal for me."
Ji Yuan nodded, drew a circle in the air, and on the other side was Siberia.
Steve resolutely stepped through the portal, put on the magic mask, and flew towards the Hydra base. Now that he knew where the base was, there was no need to say more; he would just destroy it.
After experimenting with magic for a while, Wanda felt tired, after all, she had just awakened and was not yet proficient.
After putting Peter and Pietro down, she sat in a chair and looked at Ji Yuan with a smile.
Ji Yuan smiled slightly, stepped forward, placed his hand on Wanda's shoulder, and a power of light slowly flowed into her, causing Wanda to close her eyes comfortably.
Peter looked at Wanda with a sour expression. He loved the power of magic so much. Why did his awakened superpowers lead to the destruction of his family, while others' super magic was cool and awesome?
Pietro looked tenderly at Wanda, feeling jubilant that his sister had mastered such power, and most importantly, that her wish had been fulfilled.
In Pietro's view, home is wherever Wanda is, and now he doesn't need to worry about saving money to find Peter anymore. He can just settle down in New York and even learn magic. He's really happy about it.
The post-disaster reconstruction work is proceeding in an orderly manner. Ji Yuan handed over all the remaining supplies at the relief base to Audrey.
She will also be assisting with reconstruction in Sokovia and will stay there for a while longer.
It wasn't until evening that Stark returned from the smugglers, carrying a huge special cargo container on the back of his mech.
As soon as he landed, he sighed, "This vibranium is really expensive. It cost me a full 10 billion, but it was definitely worth it. I hope Jarvis can give me a surprise."
Then he looked at Ji Yuan: "Ji Yuan, can we go back now? I really miss my lab."
Ji Yuan gave Stark a wary look: "I think you miss Pepper, don't be shy, I understand."
Stark, of course, wouldn't admit it, and instead changed the subject, saying, "Where's Steve? I haven't seen him."
Ji Yuan stretched and said, "He went to Siberia to destroy the Hydra base. Don't worry about him. Let's go back. If we don't open for business soon..."
My little clinic should close down.
After he finished speaking, a portal appeared out of thin air, and on the other side was a three-story hut in Hell's Kitchen.
Back in the house, Stark didn't even stay for a meal. He piloted his Jaeger and flew towards Stark Tower, seemingly in a great hurry.
Peter stayed at Ji Yuan's house and told Uncle Ben that he would be returning home tomorrow, so he could stay up all night playing games with Pietro tonight.
Soon, Xiaobai had prepared a sumptuous dinner.
Peter wasn't surprised at all; he'd seen Little White many times before.
Wanda and Pietro were extremely surprised. It was one thing for a cloak to fly around, but to be able to cook was simply unbelievable.
Pietro stammered, "Brother Ji Yuan, what's this?"
Ji Yuan smiled slightly: "This is Xiao Bai, my magic assistant. If you need anything in the future, you can ask him. He knows everything."
When everyone took their first bite, they couldn't help but give a thumbs up. The skill was undeniable.
Little White happily twirled in the air.
After dinner, it was time to assign rooms.
Ji Yuan said, "From now on, Pietro will live on the first floor, Wanda on the second floor, and I'll live on the third floor, is that okay?"
Everyone nodded.
They then returned to their respective rooms.
Pietro and Peter turned on the computer, and Peter guided Pietro through an intense battle game.
Wanda, clutching her brand-new blanket, gazed at the tranquil moonlight outside the window and gradually drifted off to sleep. It was the most peaceful sleep she had had in years.
The sweetest sleep.
