After watching several consecutive video clips, the players had a good grasp of the timeline.
In the future, Thanos had snapped his fingers, causing half of the universe's population, including the superheroes of the Avengers, to disappear. However, this wasn't the end of it.
Despite their heavy losses, the Avengers eventually rallied with the help of Captain Marvel. They first defeated Thanos by cutting off his head and then planned a time heist to travel back in time to find the Infinity Stones and bring back those who had disappeared due to Thanos' snap.
Creating a time-travelling machine required expertise, and in theory, Tony Stark would be the best choice. However, in the recent video, Tony had outright refused to help.
Natasha and Scott believed that the answer to this question was most likely 'C' - Bruce Banner.
Steve Rogers, on the other hand, had his doubts: "Let's not forget that sometimes future videos can intentionally mislead us! I've learned that the hard way."
Given his experience with the quiz game's videos that had wrongly portrayed him as a Hydra infiltrator, Steve was understandably cautious.
Natasha considered Steve's point: "Well, maybe you're right."
On Team A's side, Tony Stark saw the question and promptly chose himself without much hesitation. However, Thor had his objections: "Tony, you were overly confident in the previous question and got it wrong. I don't think we should make the same mistake again. Plus, the video clearly showed you refusing!"
Tony Stark smirked, "Thor, do you have the right to say that to me? The previous video just ended not long ago, right? Don't tell me you've already forgotten your new appearance!"
Thor's face fell, and he grumbled, "Regardless, I still stepped up to help in the end, and I was the one who killed Thanos."
Tony Stark raised his chin confidently, "Do you know why the answer to this question is 'A'? It's simple. Without me, they won't be able to carry out the time heist!"
He explained how in the future video, the Avengers had successfully executed the "time heist," and it was clear that it was done under Tony Stark's guidance or with his help.
Therefore, this question was a piece of cake for Tony Stark, a free point.
After a brief explanation, Thor was finally persuaded, and at that moment, the countdown to answer the question began.
Representing Team A, Tony Stark and Team B's Natasha Romanoff both pressed their answer buttons.
[Player Tony Stark successfully taps the button first. Please answer the question]
This time, luck favoured Tony Stark. With confidence, he said, "Well, Doctor Banner's research abilities are commendable, but unfortunately, he's not proficient in quantum physics. I choose 'A'!"
Natasha Romanoff from Team B also chose 'A.'
The correct answer was soon revealed.
[The Correct Answer is: A: Tony Stark]
[Congratulations to team A for answering correctly and gaining 4 points, and team B also answered correctly gaining 1 point.]
They both got it right. Team A gained 4 points, finally eliminating their negative score and bringing it back to zero.
"Ha! See, you can trust me!" Tony Stark laughed. "We've stabilized our points, and soon we'll take the lead."
Thor also breathed a sigh of relief. Another wrong answer, and they would have faced penalties.
[The question is over. Please continue watching the video. After the video ends, the corresponding question will be given]
The watch-and-answer mode continued. After revealing the correct answer, the original video resumed. In a small restaurant, Scott Lang, Steve Rogers, and Natasha Romanoff were having a meal with Bruce Banner.
During their conversation, Scott Lang was curious and puzzled by Banner's current appearance. In people's previous impressions, the Hulk was a shirtless, brutish figure, smashing things and venting his anger like a wild ape. But the Banner in front of them was dressed, wearing glasses, and appeared scholarly.
Banner explained that they had suffered a devastating loss in the battle against Thanos, especially him. First, the Hulk was defeated by Thanos, and then he was, essentially, defeated again. So, he decided to reflect on his choices. He spent eighteen months in the gamma lab and transformed himself into this form, a perfect blend of the Hulk's strength and Banner's intelligence.
The only drawback, perhaps, was that his looks had diminished.
But that wasn't important. His iconic green skin attracted three young fans who wanted to take a photo with the Hulk. Scott Lang, seeing this, felt a bit envious and decided to reveal his identity, hoping for some superhero idol treatment.
Unfortunately, the kids weren't impressed. "Who's Ant-Man?"
Even though Banner tried to smooth things over, Scott Lang still felt awkward.
Outside the screen, Natasha teased, "Well, maybe nobody knew you before, but now, I can confidently say you've become a big star."
Scott Lang, trying to suppress his laughter, replied, "Cough... Really? But I'm still just an ordinary guy. I mean, I'm not like you guys who've done so many heroic deeds!"
Natasha shrugged, "You're the key to saving the entire universe in the future, so you should have some confidence in yourself."
Steve Rogers chimed in, "Scott, you will soon find out that being in the spotlight isn't always a good thing."
Natasha gave him a sly look. "Indeed, Steve. People who want a photo with Captain America are in thousands, seriously, every woman wants you..."
Steve Rogers sighed in resignation, "Let's continue watching the video and not miss any details."
