Arthur drove to the prison. He glanced at his watch and said nonchalantly.
" He should be here soon."
Qin nodded. He tilted his head.
" Are you certain, he will be alright? I mean, he is a thief after all."
Arthur yawned. He closed his eyes.
" Qin, you know it's not best to judge people by their history. He had a rough life."
Qin shrugged his shoulders. He remembered his companions and ministers.

A man in the 30s came out. He had short hair. Qin looked at him. He whistled.
The man pointed to himself. He said loudly.
" Me?"
Qin nodded. He opened the door. Scott looked at the car with bewilderment. He never thought someone would come here to give him a ride.
Scott sat down in the car with hesitation. He tried to recall Qin's face, but he couldn't remember him. Scott asked with a little voice.
" Um, who are you? Do I know you?"
Qin said with indifference. His blue eyes didn't reveal his thoughts.
" I am Qin. I came from China. He is my partner."
Scott noticed there was a man next to Qin. He said with a surprise.
" Am I going to be blind? How did you get here?"
Arthur opened his eyes. He smiled.
" I was here. You didn't see me."
Scott rubbed his eyes. He muttered.
" Has my sight gone bad?"
Arthur chuckled. He was amused by Scott's humor.
" Relax, your sight is normal. It's just my little trick. Look!"
A small light came out from his fingers. Scott opened his mouth widely. He couldn't believe in his eyes.
" Is this magic?"
Arthur shook his head. He tapped on the door.
Crack*
Suddenly, the space was cracked. Scott trembled with fear. He shouted.
" Don't kill me. I have a daughter."
Pfft*
Qin laughed. He said with a smile.
" This is a magic. You are in the different space."
Scott peeked through his fingers. He said with an unbelieving look.
" Really?"
Arthur grinned. He tapped the door again. The space began to recover. Scott gulped. His scalp was feeling numb.
" Why?"
Qin looked at him with a dull look. He said lightly.
" Because you are chosen to be one of us."
Scott was excited. His eyes lit up.
" Am I going to be mage?"
Arthur rolled his eyes. He sighed.
" You will be a superhero."
Scott immediately shook his head. He felt ridiculous.
" How can I be a hero? I am a criminal and coward."
Qin appreciated his honesty. He replied.
" You aren't a coward. Coward person is a who retreats from the danger when he faces everyone. You are a just strategist who retreat from the defeat."
Scott choked. His eyes expressed his confusion.
Arthur smiled.
" You remind me of a person. He was a coward like you until he defeated his enemies one by one. Later, he became one of the most respected people in the world."
Scott asked with curiosity.
" Who is he?"
Arthur said with a warm voice.
" Tony Stark. He was an arrogant man with cowardice. However, he didn't show it. In fact, he conquered his fear to protect others. You can be a hero like him."
Scott was encouraged. His blood was burning with passion. He clenched his fists.
" I will do it."
Arthur laughed evilly because he used his power to influence Scott. He knew Scott would hesitate. Qin, who was next to him, stared Arthur with a question mark. He noticed something was off, but he couldn't tell what it was. Finally, Qin gave up. They drove to Hank's house.
30 minutes later.
They knocked the door. Scott was chattering without stop. Arthur already sealed his hearing function while Qin shut down his ear decisively. Arthur prayed for the other person who will meet him later.

Hank came out his with his pajama. He was holding a cup of coffee. He scanned Scott with a prying look. Scott didn't mind him. He was thinking about his glorious future. He even thought about his future statue.
Snap*
Arthur snapped his finger. Scott immediately came into reality. He scratched his head with embarrassment.
" I am so sorry. I didn't notice you."
Hank waved his hand. He wasn't concerned about such a trivial thing.
