Jack and Wanda didn't plan to stay overnight at Steve's house. After they finished their meal and talked for a while, they said their goodbyes.
It's worth mentioning that Steve became much more savvy after getting married. In the past, he would have insisted on being a nice host and taking Jack to see the whole of Santorini.
Perhaps due to Peggy's good training, he didn't have such thoughts, or if he did, at least he could tell that Jack didn't need him as a third wheel.
After saying goodbye to Steve and Peggy, the couple walked hand in hand toward the hotel as darkness fell, followed by a gentle sea breeze.
"Let's have a child too!"
Wanda remained silent for a while before suddenly blurting out those words.
Jack looked at her in surprise, wondering where this idea came from all of a sudden.
But then he thought about it and realized that it was probably something Peggy had told her. If it were any other matter, Jack could handle it, but this... it was something he couldn't control.
How should he put it? Even he couldn't figure out the reason.
It seemed like he had a hard time impregnating women.
During this period, he had a strong emotional connection with Wanda, and she stuck by him every day, sometimes not even getting out of bed for the whole day.
By any means, with such a high rate, there should be some results.
But the fact is, nothing happened.
He even secretly went to Reed for a medical examination, and the answer was that his body was healthy and everything was quite active—able to fire twice in a row.
But Wanda just couldn't get pregnant!
It wasn't just Wanda; now that he thought about it, whether it was Diana or Kara, it seemed to be the same.
Reed came up with an answer at the end, but it wasn't really a solution.
The higher the level of life, the harder it is to have children.
Speaking of Asgard, the Asgardians were strong, but their numbers had always been a problem. After the battle with the Frost Giants, Odin rarely went to battle.
As a result, Asgard had peacefully developed for thousands of years.
If it were on Earth, without worries about food and drink for a thousand years, the population could easily reach hundreds of billions.
But there had always been that many people in Asgard.
The reason was that Asgardians had a hard time conceiving the next generation.
This might be a form of self-law in the universe. Just imagine, what would tens or even hundreds of billions of Asgardians be like?
It would be total chaos!
Although this might not be the correct answer, it is the most acceptable one for Jack at the moment. After all, he didn't have any other options.
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing Jack not answer for a long time, Wanda thought he didn't want to have a child so soon and added,
"Of course, we can wait. We can wait for a year or two... I can do that."
Looking at Wanda's forced smile, Jack sighed internally and hugged her. After a moment of thought, he decided to tell her about what he was thinking.
Wanda listened quietly, and then she realized what was going on.
"So that's how it is! No wonder..."
When she reached the end of her sentence, she muttered something in a low voice.
Jack didn't catch it and subconsciously asked, "No wonder what?"
"It's nothing; let's just go back to the hotel quickly. I'm really tired."
Wanda shook her head nervously to change the subject.
The two soon returned to the hotel, where they enjoyed another beautiful night.
While Jack was enjoying his blissful married life in the desert, Tony was still facing him and using a hammer to hit a hot piece of iron.
Ethan couldn't do this kind of hard work, so he sat in a corner and held a round device that looked like a light bulb.
"Goodness!"
Even though he didn't understand much about this field of knowledge, after knowing about it for several days, Ethan still found it hard to believe.
"You made a miniature nuclear fusion reactor?"
He looked at Tony, who had turned into the incarnation of Iron Man, and wondered why he would go to so much trouble.
"Do you know, Tony, if you give this thing to them, they'll worship you like a god?
Tony took off his goggles and the towel hanging around his neck, wiping the sweat off his body.
"Maybe, but I don't think those who only know burning, killing, and looting would understand the concept of nuclear fusion. And just to correct you, this is cold fusion, otherwise, your hand would've been burned long ago."
He sat down next to Ethan, the only available spot in the middle of the piles of items.
After being scolded, Tony felt that he couldn't just sit around and wait for help.
So he agreed to cooperate with the criminals, although he never believed they would keep their promise and let him go.
But he had no intention of fulfilling his own promise either.
He just wanted to use the opportunity of creating the Jericho missile to make something that would help them escape.
As a result, the once-large cave was now full of equipment and other technology.
The criminals thought he was making the Jericho missile, but he was actually making something to help him escape.
Those poor kidnappers were clueless and couldn't even understand what he was doing.
And to escape, the key was this miniature cold fusion reactor.
Of course, there was also time.
He hoped he had enough time.
Thinking of this, Tony swore to himself.
Fuck it! Why haven't those people come to rescue him yet?
...
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Jack and Wanda's trip to Santorini was over, and after saying goodbye to Steve and Peggy, they were ready to move on to the next destination.
But this time, it was hard to decide where to go.
Both of them couldn't decide what to do because there were so many interesting places to see, and they couldn't agree on which ones to go to first.
They discussed it for a long time but couldn't come to a decision.
In the end, it was Jack who had a brilliant idea.
"Oh! Right! We can travel to other worlds."
"Other worlds?"
Wanda raised an eyebrow.
"You mean parallel universes? I'm actually interested in that topic."
"That's right! Let's just go to parallel universes and let fate decide where we go. It saves us the trouble of deciding for ourselves. Besides, parallel universes have so many interesting things; they're definitely more fun than what we can come up with."
"That sounds like a good idea. Let's go then! I can't wait to see what parallel universes are like."
As soon as Jack said that, Wanda was getting more and more curious and even a little impatient.
"Alright, let's go!"
Jack hugged Wanda tightly, raised his right hand with an open palm forward, and had no doubts in his mind.
Thump!
To Wanda's surprised expression, a pentagon-shaped multidimensional portal suddenly appeared in front of them.
The world beyond the portal was diverse and strange. Wanda couldn't figure out which universe it led to, even after looking at it for a while.
"Let's go!"
Jack didn't know either, but he didn't care. He ran through the portal while holding on to Wanda.
And so, their interdimensional honeymoon journey officially began.
