The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 4263 Aerial Catastrophe (Part 1)

Although the instance was over, it was clear that some things between them weren't over yet. Before logging off, Kent looked at Bruce hesitantly and said, "Perhaps we should have a serious talk."

“I think so too,” Bruce said after a pause. “See you at Wayne Tower.”

Kate shook her head, while Peter, puzzled, said, "What's wrong with them? Why does the atmosphere feel so strange?"

"That's strange. The Justice League has quite a few members, but they always act like it's just the two of them."

“I think we work well together,” Peter said. “Come to my place, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

“Okay, I’d like to see the legendary New York too.” Kate smoothed her hair and said, “I’ll go back and change.”

The agent, upon returning to the tower, received an invitation from Greed. Greed said, "It's getting warmer unusually late this year; we're planning a vacation to Hawaii. Want to come?"

“I’m not going,” the agent said, shaking his head. “I’m going on vacation.”

Where to go on vacation?

"Hawaii".

Greed looked at him speechlessly.

"Don't look at me like that. I know perfectly well that you're not going on vacation at all, and you'll only cause a lot of trouble if you go. I'm not going with you."

After saying that, the agent left. Greed could only watch his retreating figure, then called out to Arrogance, who was passing by, and said, "Want to go on vacation together?"

“No,” said Arrogance. “My shop in the Otherworld is getting on track, and there are quite a few customers. I need to go and help out.”

"This is really unusual. How can you help?"

“I shouldn’t have lent that spot in front of the shop window to Pamela in the first place; her invasive plants have gone on rampage again. I have to go and stop them.” Pride finished speaking and left. Greed shook his head again.

“Well, it seems no one wants to go with me,” Greed said. “I was hoping they could help me out of this mess.”

He emerged from his mental tower to find Coulson had already posted the flight information in the group chat. He typed a message attempting to decline, but unfortunately, everyone in the group echoed his sentiment. Nobody dislikes a paid vacation. He had indeed been too exhausted lately.

First came a multiverse war, then the fight to usher humanity into interstellar society, and the cleanup of the mess left by the previous war. Many are exhausted and desperately need a vacation.

S.H.I.E.L.D. also considered the superheroes' mental state and specially approved a sum of money for their team building activities. But actually, this sum of money wasn't much; in the past, it wouldn't have been enough for a trip to Hawaii.

However, with the advancement of technology, many man-made tropical islands have sprung up in the sea. The facilities on these islands are all newly built, beautiful, and in line with contemporary aesthetics, making them resort destinations for all mankind.

Meanwhile, established tourist islands like the Maldives and Hawaii have fallen behind. Frequent visitors are getting tired of them; those who couldn't come before still can't now. Their position is stuck in an awkward, middle-of-the-road situation.

This is why the discounts are currently very deep. Various islands in the Maldives are offering packages that are practically free. Hawaii is even starting to offer all-inclusive packages; although slightly more expensive than the Maldives, its biggest advantage is its proximity to the US mainland.

So after much deliberation, everyone decided that instead of going to those emerging islands and joining the crowds of tourists, they should go to the established resort destination of Hawaii.

Hawaii is an archipelago state of the United States, consisting of a cluster of small islands scattered across the ocean, often referred to as the Crossroads of the Pacific. Its location is exceptionally convenient, and the scenery is breathtaking. White sand beaches, azure waters, palm trees, and lounge chairs perfectly embody the image of a vacation paradise.

However, in the American class culture, Hawaii is generally a popular destination for the newly rich, and it has a somewhat nouveau riche feel to it. Even the West Coast is not very popular with established wealthy people, who tend to vacation in the vineyards of the East Coast.

Schiller had visited vineyards, but they weren't anything special; just estates with a bit more green space. But even that wasn't as much as Central Park. He was tired of seeing green lawns every day. A few days on a blue-sky, white-clouded island would be nice.

The reason he wanted to bring along a different personality type was because he knew the agent was right: wherever these people appeared together, they were bound to cause a huge mess. This time, he genuinely just wanted a relaxing vacation and didn't want to deal with this mess. It would be best if someone could help him.

Unfortunately, they're all too busy. Even if they weren't, they probably wouldn't be willing to be the sucker. Everyone knows that Marvel, seemingly peaceful, is actually the most ruthless; when they cause trouble, it's a huge commotion. Nobody wants to willingly step into this trap.

They're heading to Kauai, the most scenic island in Hawaii. Aside from spending a few days visiting national parks and volcanoes, they'll spend most of their time on this tranquil and beautiful rainforest island. They haven't planned any themed activities; it'll just involve swimming and sunbathing on the beach.

There were quite a few people going this time, so they split into two groups and rented two vacation homes, not too far apart. Those with children brought their kids. Most of the superheroes' kids are old enough to run around now and can be taken out to play.

Considering different lifestyles, those with children were in one team, and those without children were in another. Because Schiller could take care of children, he was assigned to the team with kids. The team included the Starks, Rogers, Murdochs, Richards, and Scarlet Witches.

Actually, as Reed Richards was the last to have children, he shouldn't have brought a child as young as Franklin along. But the child was indeed quite special; he learned to fly before he could crawl. So bringing him along wasn't a problem.

The other team consisted mostly of younger people, including Peter and his wife. Then there were some mutants. Miles didn't go because he had missed too many classes at community college, and if he didn't catch up, he might not graduate. He regretfully missed this vacation.

Deadpool and Gwen Stacy both went. Schiller also brought Jeff the shark dog along. He simply liked small animals and definitely didn't want Jeff to pretend to be a shark and scare people in the water.

After confirming his flight information, Schiller started packing. After packing for a while, he realized he didn't have much to pack; the vacation cottage had almost everything, just some changes of clothes. So he went to the supermarket and bought some children's toys: small shovels, rakes, and toy excavators. All he had to do was give the toys to the kids, throw them on the beach, and they'd have a pleasant afternoon.

Then they went to the airport to meet, this time on a private plane with a private waiting room. Schiller arrived first, followed by the ever-diligent Steve. When Schiller saw Carter, he went up to her, hugged her, and said, "You look much better, ma'am."

“Yes, I’m finally recovered,” Carter said with some emotion. “From the moment I got pregnant, this whole experience felt like a dream. Oh my God, I’m never having another baby!”

Steve hugged her tightly and patted her back reassuringly. Schiller then took little Thomas from Steve's other arm. He weighed him in his hand, then said, "He's gained a lot of weight. Can you walk yet?"

"Yes, but he doesn't like to walk much, so we still carry him. Also, he can talk now. Little Thomas, call me Uncle."

"uncle……"

Schiller smiled and patted his head. Before he could speak, a small "missile" whirlwind-like crashed into his arms.

"Dr. Schiller!!!"

Schiller looked down and saw little Morgan. Not only could she run and jump, but she also spoke very fluently. Moreover, perhaps because of her language development period, she was particularly talkative and started chattering as soon as she grabbed Schiller.

“Oh my god, Dr. Schiller, you have no idea how stressed my dad is. He spent three hours agonizing over sunscreen brands! My mom even said you should get a raise next year. Is he like this during his therapy sessions? We were supposed to fly over in a mecha, but because he left late, there were no flight routes left, so we had to take a car, and I got carsick…”

Schiller picked up little Morgan again, weighed him in his hands, and found he had gotten quite a bit heavier. Kids this age really do grow so fast. He pinched little Morgan's chubby cheeks and said, "Never mind that, have you gotten fatter again?"

"I haven't!!" Morgan shrieked. "I haven't gained weight! I haven't been eating cookies lately!"

“You definitely have it!” Helen walked in from the entrance and said, “I’ve told you so many times, your favorite butter cookies have a whole tub of sugar in them. But you said you didn’t believe me because you hadn’t seen how they were made, and yesterday you ate two whole plates of them!”

Little Morgan waved her little hands, jumped off Schiller, and ran to Helen. Helen picked her up again. Then Stark and Pepper came in. They started sharing sunscreen.

"I checked, the UV index in Hawaii is very high today. We'd better apply sunscreen before we get off the plane. Of course, Schiller, don't expect me to use one of those ridiculous umbrellas..."

“Then you can just wait to get skin cancer,” Schiller said.

"I want an umbrella! I want an umbrella!" little Morgan cried. "I want my Hello Kitty pink umbrella. Where is my umbrella?"

Pepper quickly rummaged through her bag, then stuck out her tongue and said, "Oh no, we forgot. Good heavens, Tony, it's all your fault! If you hadn't been carrying that sunscreen brand there, I would have remembered to take it!"

“An umbrella? What umbrella?” Stark asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Last Christmas, Dr. Schiller gave me a pink umbrella, it's so pretty! All my classmates at kindergarten are so envious of me. I want my umbrella!" little Morgan exclaimed again.

Pepper looked at Stark. Stark said, "Okay, little kids have the privilege of using umbrellas for sun protection. I'll fly back and get them for you, alright?"

After saying that, he armed his mech and flew out the window. A moment later, airport staff brought Matt and Erica in. Erica was holding the hand of a little boy who was noticeably older than the other children. This boy seemed less lively and politely nodded to the adults.

“Come here, Jack,” Schiller beckoned to him. Jack came over. He was a bit too big for him to be carried anymore. So Schiller patted his head and turned to Erica, asking, “Has his school problem been resolved?”

"It's been resolved. Luckily, Matt has some great old classmates. I can't believe our community discriminates against blind people. If we had known sooner, it wouldn't have been so delayed."

"It's okay, it's resolved now. However, living in Brooklyn does present some inconvenience. Have you considered moving to Queens?"

“Matt and I are thinking about it,” Erica said, “but actually, it’s the same everywhere. Queens has a lot of schools, but the bullying problem in those public schools is also serious. Little Jack might be teased too.”

"It's a pity he's too young to go to magic school. Magic schools have recently admitted quite a few talented disabled people, so there shouldn't be any serious discrimination issues there..."

As they were talking, Wanda and Susan arrived. Wanda pushed a stroller, with the two brothers beside her. Susan, on the other hand, was relaxed, with Franklin flying around beside her.
