"Alright, the contract is signed! This won't take much time, I promise I'll take the Infinity Stones in just a bit!
"Now, Tony, you need to prepare the quantum suit needed to cross the multiverse!"
Li Yue then said after hearing that the future Captain agreed to his request!
"Don't worry, it won't take that long!" Future Tony replied. "But we're lacking an important component to the suit! We need them in order to let you shrink through the quantum realm!"
Tony suddenly remembered something and said with some regret in his voice!
"Hehe, the Pym Particle, right? Don't worry, I know where we can get some of those! For example, we can go to 1970 New Jersey, in a SHIELD base there! You may even discover something else while you're there!" Li Yue said!
The future Avengers team were shocked by Li Yue's words. They didn't expect him to know about the Pym Particle!
Li Yue's words immediately gave Tony a very conflicting emotions!
He did recall that in 1970, Dr. Pym was still working at SHIELD, from his father's archive!
"I understand. You want us to travel to 1970 New Jersey to obtain the required Pym particle, yeah?" To everyone's surprise, Tony said to Li Yue!
With a fresh supply of Pym Particles, they would have no limit on how many times they can travel through time!
...
"Dummy, call Tony!"
Seeing that the problem over here was solved, Li Yue began implementing his plan to obtain the Infinity Stones!
"Hey, Li Yue? What's up, did you see our Justice League victory on the TV?
"Your call couldn't come at a better time! We're just deciding to get Shawarma after wrapping things up here!
"It's because I remembered that there's a new Shawarma place not far from our HQ! I heard it wasn't bad! Are you coming with?"
Tony's arrogant and indulgent voice came from Li Yue's devices!
The future Tony cringed when he heard his past self's unbearable personality!
"Tony, I'll just tell you the truth. The place you picked back then was horrible!"
The future Captain even complained to Tony, making future Tony's expression even more awkward!
"Yeah the Shawarma was really bad! It was mostly Thor that ate them back then, and only because he would eat literally anything!"
Dr. Banner's words was another nail in Tony's conscience. Tony almost wanted to go find a hole and hide there forever!
"Should I avert that stupid decision in this universe?"
Tony couldn't help to think that. This was the first time his conviction to keep time unaltered had wavered. And it was all over a Shawarma!
Of course, this was just a joke. Tony would not take such a massive risk just because of this insignificant matter!
...
His attention returned to the conversation between Li Yue and Tony!
"Cough, forget it, I won't intrude on you Shawarma date! I need your for something else!"
Li Yue noticed the conversation between future Tony and the others in the distance. Although they deliberately lowered their voices, for Li Yue who had super hearing, it was as loud as if they had screaming in his ears!
It seemed that the Shawarma shop tasted bad! No wonder that in the post-credit scene of The Avengers, Tony and the others had strange expressions!
Therefore, Li Yue decisively rejected Tony's invitation! What a joke! He already bought some meat and brought it back to roast it. He sprinkled cumin and chili on it. Doesn't it smell good? The kid next door was so hungry that he was crying!
"Well, what do you want, then? The alien threat is over. I believe that our victory would serve as deterrent against other races in the universe!
"Could it be...are you going to tell me that we have more enemies? Will they threaten us now?"
Tony felt a little confused. He did not know why Li Yue was looking for him now!
"No, it's not a new threat! I want to talk to you about the ownership of the Tesseract. Don't you think SHIELD would want the Tesseract back?"
Li Yue directly told Tony about the ownership of Tesseract!
"The Tesseract? That thing is our spoil of war. There's no way I'll let that bald guy take it from us!"
Tony replied in arrogant manner!
"But, as you deliberately came to talk to me about it, that means the matter of the Tesseract wouldn't as easy as a dispute between us and SHIELD, right?"
However, Tony's tone immediately changed, as if he had seen through Li Yue's intentions!
"To tell you the truth, I need the Tesseract!"
Li Yue shamelessly told Tony his intent with a calm voice!
"Haha, you should just tell me upfront. Why are you beating around the bush? Why don't you just come in and take it away!"
Tony laughed and told Li Yue to just go take the Tesseract away!
"No, I don't want you to just give the Tesseract to me, and I shouldn't!
"I want to 'steal' the Tesseract from you! That way, SHIELD wouldn't have any business meddling with you because of the Tesseract!"
However, Li Yue he proposed his own plan!
...
"Everyone, it seems that we need to act in a play soon!"
After ending the call with Li Yue, Tony directly told the others!
They were currently gathered on the roof of the Stark Building, debriefing after the battle?
"What are you talking about? Act in a play? What play?"
The Captain asked in confusion!
"Yeah, I thought we're getting Shawarma? Why are we acting all of sudden?"
Thor's mind was only filled with roasted meat!
"Ahem, let's belay that talk about Shawarma. Li Yue just told me that he needs the Tesseract!"
...
"Therefore, we're going to put up a show for SHIELD and the others! This way, they won't bother us about the Tesseract!"
Tony told everyone about the plan he discussed with Li Yue!
"Yes, I think it's possible. I was worried about Tesseract: it was an artifact of unimaginable force! I would be worried that it falls into the wrong hands!
"But we can't keep it ourselves either. The world would be pressuring us about it! It would be great if Li Yue could safe-keep it for us!"
The Captain agreed to the plan after thinking for a moment. The others didn't object!
"But...my father told me to bring my brother and the Tesseract back to Asgard! He needs the Tesseract to repair the Bifrost!" Thor suddenly raised his voice!
"Don't worry, Thor. Li Yue said that he would personally bring the Tesseract to help you repair that Bifrost!"
Tony seemed to have expected this objection!
