I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

"I did think about it, but I gave up."

Elena lowered her arm and said expressionlessly, "Listen, we are just ordinary people, from a different world than you guys with mysterious powers."

Whoever you are, and whatever you want from us, I just hope you won't hurt my family...

Especially my daughter.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Ming replied:

"I won't hurt you, and I don't intend to get anything from you..."

"Then why did you come to us? There must be a reason, right?" Elena was even more puzzled.

Lei Ming didn't answer. Instead, he turned to look out the window, his gaze falling on a passenger plane bound for Boston, 150 kilometers away.

Inside the cabin, Xu Wenli, the sleeping mother, and her daughter Teresa sat by the window.

They looked exhausted.

"As for my purpose..."

Lei Ming paused, then turned back to look at Elena, and approached her step by step.

"All you need to know is that I will never hurt you, just like I said before..."

I am Lei Ming, your husband, Teresa's father, and Xu Wenli's son.

Whether you admit it or not,

That’s the truth.”

Elena was forced to retreat continuously until she finally leaned against the wall.

Although the man in front of her hadn't done anything, he still exerted a tremendous sense of pressure on her.

Her heart raced, and she even stammered a little.

"But...but,"

How can I treat a stranger as my husband?

You are not him at all!

Lei Ming suddenly brought his face close to hers, looking directly into her eyes.

"Look carefully, look into my eyes, look closely..."

Am I really him...?

Lei Ming's words seemed to possess some kind of magic, making Elena unable to resist, and she subconsciously looked into his eyes.

In the depths of those dark eyes, she seemed to see scenes from her past with her husband, gradually stirring up her memories.

This also made her begin to believe that the person in front of her was her husband.

When she came to her senses, Lei Ming was still standing there, smiling at her.

"what did you do to me?"

Elena frantically patted herself down, but found nothing amiss.

"Nothing was done..."

Lei Ming said calmly, "Don't doubt it, I didn't use any magic or witchcraft on you... It's your subconscious telling you the answer."

You'll understand later...

my wife,

Elena.

"Nobody believes you! Stay away from me!"

Breathing heavily, Elena shoved Lei Ming aside and ran downstairs...

"hehe."

Lei Ming watched her flustered figure and chuckled to himself, thinking that it seemed he would have to put in some effort if he wanted to integrate into this 'family'.

but…

If I were to be with Elena from the Marvel Universe,

Does this count as cheating?

After all, he had already proposed to Elena from the DC universe…

After stroking his chin and thinking for a while, Lei Ming decided it shouldn't count.

The original body is still there, isn't it?

After convincing himself, Lei Ming followed them downstairs.

Elena was sitting in her Nissan minivan, talking to herself in front of the mirror, seemingly saying something unintelligible.

Lei Ming opened the passenger door and plopped inside.

"what are you doing?"

She turned her head in surprise.

"Aren't you going back to your home in Boston? Let's go together."

Lei Ming fastened his seatbelt as he replied matter-of-factly.

"But, can't you fly?"

"The air quality hasn't been very good lately."

I don't want to fly.

Lei Ming's reason left Elena speechless, and without saying another word, she stepped on the gas and sped away...

New York City was one of the hardest-hit areas during this Chitauri invasion.

Throughout the city, checkpoints set up by the U.S. military to maintain order were a common sight, along with long lines of refugees waiting to receive supplies and aid.

When arranging for Xu Wenli and her grandson to leave the country, Elena, a Wall Street elite, had already obtained temporary passes through connections, allowing her to enter and exit freely.

Of New York's three major airports, only John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens remains intact and has resumed normal operations. Refugees who are able can easily travel elsewhere by air.

The two had a smooth journey, passing through numerous checkpoints and heading straight to the airport.

Strangely, ever since they got on the highway, they haven't seen a single other car on either side of the road.

Elena found it a little strange, but her tense nerves had left her no energy to think about it, and she continued to drive at a steady speed.

Lei Ming appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but a barely perceptible smile was playing on his lips…

It's amazing that it took so long to reach him.

He thought he was being ignored.

Sure enough, near the highway exit, they were stopped by the last military checkpoint…

Two American soldiers in brown uniforms walked to the car window with their guns at the ready. Before they could speak, Elena skillfully rolled down the window, took out a pass, and handed it to them.

"You can go over there..."

The Black soldier glanced at it, returned the pass to Elena, and then pointed to Lei Ming, who was resting with his eyes closed in the passenger seat.

"But that gentleman needs to get out of the car for investigation."

Elena was a little puzzled and subconsciously asked:

"Uh...why? Listen..."

We are husband and wife, and we are going to…

“I’m not talking to you, ma’am!”

The Black soldier suddenly raised his voice to interrupt her.

Then he looked at Lei Ming and shouted sternly, "Did you hear that, sir?!"

Please get off the vehicle immediately and cooperate with our investigation!

As he spoke, the hand that was resting on the automatic rifle had already disengaged the safety…

Elena panicked upon seeing this, but then she heard the sound of a car door closing beside her.

When she turned around, Lei Ming was already standing outside the car.

He patted the roof of the car.

"It's alright, you go first, I'll come find you after I've taken care of things."

OK, bye-bye!

Elena hesitated for less than a second before stepping on the gas.

She seemed eager to get rid of him.

The very next second after Elena's car drove away, a large group of fully armed special forces soldiers suddenly appeared on both sides of the road!

Unlike the army soldiers guarding the checkpoints, their weapons and equipment were futuristic and clearly more advanced.

Their black uniforms clearly indicated that they were not from ordinary military units.
