Chapter 250: Barbecue Gathering (Second Update)
Chapter 250: Barbecue Gathering (Second Update)
The next evening, at the Middle Eastern Bbq Restaurant in Manhattan.
"Looks great!"
Thor walked into the restaurant, hammer in hand, and saw the table already filled with delicious food. A smile finally appeared on his face, which had been somewhat melancholic.
"You said you weren't coming, right?"
Tony, sitting at the end of the long table, chewed on a piece of barbecue meat and looked at Thor with surprise.
This morning, Tony had contacted all the teammates who had fought together to gather at the barbecue restaurant. Everyone agreed to come, except for Thor, who said he had some family matters to handle and declined.
Thor pulled out a chair, sat down, and picked up a barbecue roll from in front of Banner. He stuffed it into his mouth and explained, "I had a date, but it's canceled now!"
During yesterday's battle, Thor got so excited that he took off his mask, revealing his true face to the world on television. This caused some friction with Jane, and their planned date was canceled.
"By the way, where's J?"
Thor looked around and saw Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Tony, and Banner, but not Jerry.
"She said she might be a bit late. I'll contact her", Tony said, pulling out the Magic Mirror from his pocket and calling out, "Witch, Witch!"
"What's he doing?"
Captain America watched Tony shouting at the mirror, thinking he must be seeing things, mistaking a phone for a mirror.
"Witch never uses a phone. That's the only way to contact her with Magic!" Black Widow whispered to Captain America.
Just as Black Widow finished explaining, the screen of the Magic Mirror lit up, and Jerry's image appeared on the other side.
"Sorry, I had some family matters to handle, so I'm a bit late!"
"As we're all here, Thor is here too, the address is—"
Tony was about to give the address of the barbecue restaurant when there was a sudden crackling sound, and Jerry's image disappeared from the mirror. A moment later, a hand tapped Tony on the shoulder.
"No need to give the address, I'm already here!"
The Magic Mirror not only allows video calls but also has a location-sharing feature. When Tony opened the mirror, Jerry could use the connection between the mirrors to Phantom Shift over.
To successfully use Phantom Shift, one must clearly imagine the destination. Therefore, it's impossible to Phantom Shift to a place one has never been to.
"Oh, J, could you at least give me a heads-up next time before you appear? My heart can't take it!"
Tony jumped in surprise at the sudden appearance of Jerry behind him.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it!" Jerry shrugged, then greeted everyone before pulling out several mirrors from under his Witch robe and handed them to Captain America, Banner, Hawkeye, and Black Widow.
"Here, here, these are Magic Mirrors. Just call my name to contact me. If you need any help in the future, you can reach out to me anytime.
I offer various services—battles, finding people, rescues, repairs, and more. Fair prices, no cheating!"
The main reason Jerry came to the gathering was to distribute the Magic Mirrors to these superheroes. This way, he could help them with major events, earning both favors and red stars.
The others took the Magic Mirrors somewhat bewildered, unsure how to respond.
"But I don't have much money!"
Dr. Banner looked at the Magic Mirror in his hand and spoke first.
Jerry immediately walked over with a smile and explained:
"Don't worry about the money; you can pay with other things. Dr. Banner, you're a world-renowned physicist and biologist. Your knowledge is as good as money."
"Besides, there's also Hulk. Even without money, you can pay with muscle!"
"Pay with muscle?"
Banner looked bewildered.
"Don't worry. As long as it's not something against justice, you can come to me. For example, if you're being pursued or monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, I can help you shake them off!"
"J, isn't it a bit inappropriate to say that with two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents present?"
Black Widow, sitting next to Banner, rolled her beautiful eyes in exasperation at Jerry's words.
"Just a joke. If you encounter any insurmountable difficulties during your missions, you can come to me. For example, if you're trapped in a secret base and can't get out, I can teleport you to safety."
Jerry laughed heartily.
"Then do I have to pay with muscle if I don't have money?"
Black Widow's lips curled up, and a mischievous expression appeared on her face.
Jerry: "."
He meant helping with tasks, but where did Black Widow's mind go?
Dr. Banner's knowledge, Hulk's indestructible body and immense strength, and Black Widow's all-around skills might all be useful in the future.
"By the way, J, the ammunition and shells you requested are all ready. Director Fury has them waiting for you on the Helicarrier!"
After the joke, Black Widow got down to business.
Jerry nodded.
This time, he was invited by Nick Fury to defeat Ebony Maw and fight the Aliens, and it wasn't entirely free.
As a condition, he had requested a large number of bullets and shells of the same model used by the robot soldiers from S.H.I.E.L.D.
When the time came, they would be evenly distributed and stored in the robot soldiers' chests. When they ran out of ammunition, the soldiers could take them out and reload.
This would prevent them from being caught in an awkward situation without any ammunition.
"Alright, I have some things to take care of at home. You guys carry on!"
Seeing everyone put the Magic Mirror away, Jerry used a Phantom Shift and disappeared from the spot.
Everyone: "."
So you came here just to deliver the mirror.
Three days later, in the Helicarrier command room.
Nick Fury picked up the Magic Mirror and recited the incantation:
"As I wish, so it be, appear before me!"
Black Widow and Hawkeye, standing nearby, exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Nick Fury looked puzzled.
He had practiced the Mandarin incantation for a while to get it just right. He didn't think it would be embarrassing.
Hawkeye was about to explain, but Black Widow stepped forward first and said with a smile:
"Nothing, Director, your Mandarin is perfect!"
As a language expert, Black Widow's Mandarin was flawless. However, she and Hawkeye weren't laughing because Nick Fury's Mandarin was off. It was because the incantation he used to activate the Magic Mirror was different from theirs.
To activate their Magic Mirrors, they only needed to say "Witch."
But it wasn't a big deal, so there was no need to point it out to the Director.
