Chapter 250: C242
"I don't have beer here, if you need it—"
Tony's words were cut short by Thor.
"Thank you for your kindness, my friend," Thor said, his expression serious as his gaze swept over the room. "But I have no time to spare. I need to find Wanda, Sergei, and Pietro." He paused, his tone resolute. "I need their help."
The gravity in his voice made everyone in the room exchange uneasy glances. Tony, Jean, and the others became solemn. For Thor, the future king of Asgard, to arrive on Earth with such urgency and concern, it could only mean one thing: this was no small matter.
Tony stayed silent and looked at Jean, who hesitated briefly before nodding. Pulling out her phone, she dialed a number that had gone unused for years. The line connected in three seconds, the call amplified for all to hear.
"Jean?" came a familiar, pleasant voice.
"Wanda, there's someone here who needs to see you," Jean said carefully.
"I think I know who it is," Wanda replied, her tone enigmatic. Without another word, she hung up.
Before anyone could comment, the air in the room shifted. A crisp sound, like glass shattering, echoed as the space before them fractured into transparent, folding prisms. From this kaleidoscope of light stepped Wanda, dressed casually in a gray sweatshirt, jeans, and sneakers. The shards of space reassembled seamlessly behind her, leaving the room as it was.
