Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

She wanted to take advantage of the chaos to have a drink, but Pepper quickly stopped her, ignoring Hermione's resentful look and leaving only the words, "Kids can't drink alcohol."

After the meal, the group drove back to Tony's house.

Hermione was undocumented in the Marvel universe, with neither money nor a place to live, so Pepper simply let Hermione live with her.

Now that Pepper and Tony have officially confirmed their relationship, Hermione naturally lives here as well.

Just as the group entered, Hermione suddenly stopped and looked towards the dark center of the hall.

Chapter 39 Avengers Project

"what happened?"

Seeing this, Pepper asked softly.

Hermione didn't answer, but just stared silently ahead.

Tony realized something was wrong and silently shielded Pepper behind him.

In his view, their "wizard lady" might have a fiery personality, but her skills were undeniable.

There must be something ahead.

"It's alright, we're acquaintances, no need to be nervous."

Hermione smiled slightly, then raised her wand.

"As bright as day!"

In an instant, the entire hall became as bright as day.

A figure, black from head to toe, stood frozen in place.

The figure was caught off guard by the sudden brightening of the hall, stuck on the way to the sofa, unsure whether to move or stay still under everyone's watchful eyes.

A bald, black head stood out prominently in the empty hall.

It's a black marinated egg.

"puff!"

Hermione couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

How could she not understand what Black Egg was trying to do?

It's nothing more than sneaking into Tony's house early and waiting for the agents monitoring outside to report that Tony has returned home. Then, he immediately takes his place on the sofa, suddenly turns on the lights, and makes a dazzling entrance, shocking Tony for a million years.

Creating an air of mystery, projecting power, and taking the initiative—that's how secret agents on TV always make their entrances, and even Black Marinated Egg is no exception.

However, he did not expect that Hermione would discover him in advance, causing him to be exposed to her before he even got into position.

It was incredibly embarrassing.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Tony's face darkened, and he questioned loudly.

Pepper recognized the other party at this point, but she didn't have a good impression of S.H.I.E.L.D. barging into someone else's home so casually, so she let Tony do as he pleased and didn't step in to mediate.

After a brief moment of awkwardness, Blackie quickly recovered, pretending nothing had happened, and strolled towards Tony.

“Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Fury said without changing his expression.

No wonder he's a leader; his shamelessness is unmatched.

Hermione thought to herself.

"I've come to talk to you about the resumption of..."

Before Fury could finish speaking, Tony interrupted him: "Not interested. Whoever you are, get out of my house now!"

"Looks like we'll have to upgrade the security level later. Obadiah too, and this guy too, how can just anyone walk in like that!"

They showed absolutely no respect.

“Mr. Stark, I still suggest you listen to the whole thing…” Fury frowned slightly, speaking patiently.

He also knew Tony's personality.

Although the mission got off to a bad start, it still had to be accomplished.

"I..." Just as Tony was about to say something, Hermione suddenly waved her hand.

"Hey, braised egg!"

"Good evening, Miss Wizard." Seeing that it was Hermione who spoke to him, Fury thought for a moment and decided that she was still his priority over Tony Stark.

It's just those two words, "braised egg"...

Fury quickly understood what Hermione meant, and his cheeks twitched slightly.

“What are you doing here? Where is your sister Natasha?” Hermione asked.

"Agent Romanov has a mission."

"profound."

Hermione nodded and said nothing more.

Nick Fury's expression froze.

Ok?

Is this over?

What the heck is "Oh"... This reaction is wrong!

Isn't Natasha your favorite beautiful older sister?

How did you know she was on a mission? You didn't even bother to check on her.

When Fury's gaze fell on Pepper, who was holding Hermione's little hand, his eyes widened in surprise.

Buho!

The thing I feared most has happened!

The house was robbed!

No matter how powerful a wizard is, he is still just a child. Children are fickle and only get close to those who are kind to them.

No wonder Hermione hasn't been coming to S.H.I.E.L.D. lately, and instead spends all her time with Tony Stark.

Fury initially thought she had a good relationship with Stark, so he wasn't too worried. After all, no matter how good they were, he couldn't replace Natasha's function.

But now it seems they misunderstood.

Pepper Potts is the one Hermione is close to! Stark just happened to be nearby!

A major strategic blunder!

“Tony, let’s hear what they have to say first,” Pepper patted Tony on the back. “No matter what, they did their best to help you when you were kidnapped. If it weren’t for S.H.I.E.L.D., I wouldn’t have been able to confirm your safety, let alone meet Hermione.”

Listening to Pepper's words, Fury knew that she meant well and was speaking up for them, but he still felt something was off.

There's always that feeling where the ex's current partner says to the ex, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have met, so we should thank you," while simultaneously hugging the ex in front of them...

“Yes, yes, let’s listen to what Egg has to say first. At least they did protect Pepper last night,” Hermione advised.

Translation: You should treat your ex better; at least he paid for our hotel room last night.

It’s over.

Fury's vision went black.

Hermione is clearly deeply poisoned.

For a moment, Fury even considered abandoning the mission altogether, recalling Natasha first, and figuring out how to deal with Hermione.

But in the end, reason prevailed.

Seeing that Pepper and Hermione had both said so, Tony could only suppress his annoyance and prepare to hear what he had to say.

Fury forced himself to remain calm and said, "I'm here today to talk to you about the Avengers."

"The Avengers?" Tony frowned. "Is S.H.I.E.L.D. looking for revenge against someone?"

"..." Frick paused for a moment before continuing, "It's not revenge, but a plan: to form a small team, a contingency team composed of people with extraordinary abilities, to deal with future crises that ordinary people cannot handle."

"I call this plan the Avengers."

"What a terrible name..."

Tony muttered to himself, then realized that this so-called director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was clearly there to recruit him.

It seems his Iron Man look is quite impressive!

Thinking of this, he regained his smug expression.

“You have good taste,” Tony said, puffing out his chest. “But Iron Man alone is enough to keep the world safe. There’s no need for him to join your Wonder Boys team.”

Fury: "..."

It's okay, it's Tony Stark, as expected.

“Is that so?” Fury said calmly, “Then why was Iron Man, who was invincible, beaten up like that by Obadiah last night, and had to rely on the powerful magic of the Wizard to save his life in the end?”
