Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

Anyway, since we can monitor him at any time through the Horcrux and force his recall, we're not afraid of him causing any trouble.

Even if Tom Cruise's existence is exposed, it will still prove the authenticity of the wizards and add some fun to the world.

not to mention……

Hermione's eyes flickered.

A major discovery has been made.

Whether it was because the spellbook had completely controlled the Horcruxes, the soul energy that Tom Cruise "harvested" after killing enemies outside ended up entirely with her.

what is this?

Tom Cruise was directly identified as her magical summon?

This unexpected discovery sparked a new idea in Hermione's mind.

Just as I was thinking this, my phone rang.

Hermione knew from the caller ID that Eddie Redmayne was calling her again, and she slowly answered the phone.

……

S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

Fury hasn't left the office these past few days; he's been eating and sleeping here, like a paparazzi staking out the place, just waiting for Hermione to return so he can catch her as soon as possible.

Fury knew that the witch was elusive and even Tony couldn't pinpoint her whereabouts, so he could only resort to this most rudimentary method of waiting for her to come to him.

As Hermione's indicator light on the screen turned from gray to green, Fury reacted quickly and immediately dialed the phone.

Fury had his suspicions about Hermione regarding the Skrull corpses from before.

After all, Talos vanished without a trace, neither alive nor dead.

However, the results of the on-site investigation clearly stated that "the Skurus were fighting amongst themselves."

Fury knew Hermione could use mind control, but he didn't believe the Skrulls would obediently line up and be controlled one by one.

If she were to truly resist, Hermione would definitely have to resort to violence; it's impossible for the scene to be completely free of any magical damage.

In the end, Hermione was ruled out as a suspect.

"Hey, Egg, what's the big news today?"

The call connected, and Hermione's voice came from the other end.

Fury took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner anxiety.

"Thank goodness, Miss Wizard, you've finally shown up." His tone carried a hint of relief.

"I've run into a problem and urgently need your help."

"Yesterday, a S.H.I.E.L.D. base was attacked... and an important item was stolen."

"Oh... what's missing?" Hermione asked casually.

Fury hesitated for a long time, took a deep breath, and slowly said:

"Cosmic Cube".

Chapter 118 Tony's Big Day

"The Cosmic Cube is in your hands? You've been keeping it from me all this time?"

Hermione's voice came from the other end of the phone, filled with undisguised surprise and questioning.

Fury choked.

He had expected Hermione to react this way, but now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it in order to retrieve the Rubik's Cube.

Moreover, Fury has already made two preparations.

He plans to have Iron Man Tony Stark and Captain America Steve Rogers, as the "Avengers," take the lead and test the waters.

The main purpose of finding the witch was to see if she had any way of finding the Tesseract, and also as a last resort if the Avengers couldn't handle it.

Moreover, he was aware of Tony and Hermione's relationship. Rather than letting Tony reveal it later, it would be better for him to tell Hermione about it proactively, which would appear more generous.

"This is the level nine access you gave me?" Hermione's tone was full of sarcasm. "What, are you the only one in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. who knows about the Tesseract? So, you, the director, also do scientific research on the side."

Fury fell silent.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, his voice tinged with weariness: "The situation is urgent, please forgive me for now, Miss Wizard. I will definitely give you a satisfactory compensation afterward."

Telling Hermione about anything else is one thing, but the Tesseract…

That was the key to their potential to possess power comparable to aliens, or even the magical world, and he dared not risk letting Hermione know.

"If you lost your things, go find them yourself. Why are you calling me? It's not like I stole them," Hermione said irritably.

Upon hearing the word "compensation," her attitude softened somewhat.

"Because you know the person who stole the Cosmic Cube."

Fury's voice was deep as he uttered a name: "Loki."

"Loki?"

Hermione was stunned for a moment.

“Isn’t he dead?” Hermione blurted out.

When she returned from Asgard, she told S.H.I.E.L.D. that Loki had fallen into a spatial rift and was dead.

“I also wish he were dead, but unfortunately, he is not dead, and he even stole the Tesseract,” Fury said in a deep voice.

Hermione was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly scoffed:

"He's incredibly lucky to be alive."

“However…” Hermione changed the subject, “Loki and I don’t have any deep-seated hatred. Since the Tesseract was kept from me, don’t expect me to clean up your mess now that it’s lost.”

"Director Fury, you should figure it out yourself and stop bothering me."

After saying that, Hermione hung up the phone immediately.

With a "snap," it was done cleanly and decisively.

Immediately afterward, Hermione's figure twisted in the air and vanished in an instant, leaving only the busy tone from the phone.

Fury's heart sank. Oh no, even the hard-boiled egg isn't calling anymore.

It seems he's really angry now.

……

New York, near Stark Tower.

The water flowed rapidly, impacting the pipes at the bottom of the river.

"Jarvis, how's the underwater visibility?" Tony's voice came through the Iron Man suit, slightly distorted.

“Visibility is extremely low, sir. The water is murky; I recommend activating infrared scanning,” Jarvis replied dutifully.

A red beam shot out from the eyes of the Iron Man suit, piercing through the murky water and clearly revealing the scene at the bottom of the river to Tony.

"Damn, this thing is even harder to deal with than I thought," Tony muttered, carefully cutting the old pipes with the laser cutter on his suit arm.

He needs to replace the underwater reactor module as soon as possible, as this is related to the energy supply of the entire building.

Before long, a module gleaming with high-tech light was replaced in the cut-out position.

“Everything’s ready here. Now it’s your turn,” Tony said. “Stark Tower will become a symbol of clean energy.”

"That is, the Arc Reactor can supply power normally." Pepper's voice came through the headset.

"That's for sure, who do you take me for?"

Tony's voice was full of confidence.

"When Hermione comes back, she will definitely be amazed by my brilliant idea."

Upon hearing this, Pepper smiled and shook her head.

This person is so grown up, why does he always want to compete with a child when they're on completely different tracks?

Before he could finish speaking, a series of loud bangs suddenly exploded in the communicator.

Tony was taken aback, then immediately realized, "Wait, that commotion... is Hermione back?"

Stark Tower, top floor.

Pepper also heard the strange noise coming from behind her.

She recognized that voice all too well; it was the sound Hermione made when she Apparated.

Pepper's face instantly lit up with a smile, and she turned around abruptly.

really!

The air distorted, and Hermione's figure gradually appeared.

"Little Hermione!"

Pepper rushed over and gave Hermione a big hug.
