Corn reigns supreme, the toaster pledged his life.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For weeks, I studied the technology I had copied from the Nova Corps to no avail, proving that even with the help of Hank this task was surprisingly hard, but I had no rush.

Sure, I wanted the technology to work as soon as possible, and to be able to fit on my armor, but while that happened, I would make a middle step armor, the armor before the armor I wanted.

Something simple yet sophisticated, something useful, something to fill the void until I acquired what I needed to create the real armor I wanted.

So, with Hank working on the Nova Corps tech, I moved to work on my little project.

"This will take us years to crack kiddo," Hank whistled, wiping off the sweat from his eyebrow.

I smiled, "Well, the best things in life are usually worth waiting for,"

Hank snorted, "I suppose that has so merit to it," 

"So, how's the daughter?" I asked, making conversation as I sketched how I wanted my armor to look.

"Good, she's growing fast, I'll tell you, those days go by fast," Hank sighed, slumping down to his seat, "She's just like her mother you know?" He chuckled in a sad tone, "Smart, brave, and eager to change the world…"

"I didn't have the pleasure of meeting your wife, but even I know she would be proud," I smiled, patting him on the back.

"I hope so," Hank sighed, looking at the floor.

[A New Quest Has Been Created = Rescue Janet Van Dyne!

Janet Van Dyne is trapped on the quantum realm, and it's your task to save her!

Objectives = Rescue Janet Van Dyne.

Side Objectives = Convince Hank Pym you are not lying about his wife.

Rewards = ???]

I blinked in mild shock, she was alive? God, I didn't remember shit from that movie, poor Hank, I had to get a quest to remember his wife was alive, now the question is… how the fuck do I convince Hank she's alive without making him think I am after his technology?

"I've been thinking," Hank spoke, breaking me out of my train of thought, "How about we make a barbecue, you know, so that the girls get to meet each other, I would love for Hope to be friends with your girls," he smiled.

"Sure," I smiled, my mind blank, because I had no idea how to break the news to him, and how to make them believable.

"Great!" Hank smiled.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the end, I came to the resolution of not telling Hank shit, meaning I would do this mission by myself, using his technology with my [Technomancy] rescuing his wife and breaking the news to him she was alive there and then.

I mean, I was operating under the wise say, that said, it's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

Though that would be for later.

Right now, I had a few things to do, before I was able to help Janet, like leveling up my [Technomancy] because apparently operating his machine required a very high level, even higher than the one required to copy the Sentinels from the future.

"Alex," Bucky called as he entered into my lab, "Sif's here," 

Sif?

I blinked, looking at my minimap, and sure enough, she was here, but why?

"Thanks for letting me know," 

"Do I need to have the talk with you?" Bucky grinned, looking at me.

I snorted, walking past him without even acknowledging his comment. I had a beautiful lady waiting for me, and I would be damned if I allowed Bucky to ruin this moment for me.

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Alex," A smile beamed across Sif's face, as she saw me enter the living room, where she had been waiting for me, talking with the girls to kill time.

"Dad!" Emily smiled, jumping from the couch to my arm.

"Careful there baby girl, your dad is getting old," I winked.

"Silly," Emily chuckled, running back to the sofa with a smile on her face.

"So, Sif," I smiled, turning my attention to Sif, who was still smiling, "What brings you to my humble abode?" Great, of all the things I could've possibly said to break the ice, I decided to go all lame on her.

"Well," Sif began, "I had some free time, and I thought, why not see if Alex wanted to share it with me, so… do you?"

"Yes, of course," I nodded, "I would love to, just let me clean up, and we'll be on our way,"

"Sure, but this time, the date is on me," Sif stated, pulling a bag full of gold from her jacket, "This ought to cover our expenses right?"

"Maybe it's her who needs the talk," Bucky chuckled, to which I opened a portal under him, moving him into the pool, his sass needed to cool down.

"It's not enough is it? I knew it!" Sif sighed, "I said, Sif, bring two bags of gold, but no, I had to bring one instead," 

"No, no, that's more than enough, that's a lot of money in Midgard standards, like… a lot," I chuckled, pointing at her bag. "Look, how about you let me shower, and then I'll help you figure out how much money you have, okay?"

"So.. it's enough?" Sif asked, with a hopeful look.

"Yes," I nodded.

"Good, then, I shall wait for you here," Sif smiled.

"Omg! She's adorable! Can we keep her!" Out of nowhere, Alice jumped from the shadows, towards Sif, hugging the unexpecting warrior.

Sif, as the trained warrior she was, kicked Alice off her, before rushing to attack the sudden intruder, but before that could happen, I used my telekinesis to stop her, "Don't worry Sif, she's just… mentally questionable,"

"Hey!" Alice pouted, "I mean, it's true, but still… it hurts,"

"Who is she?" Sif asked, frowning.

"My sister," I replied with a sigh of my own.

"You have a sister?" Sif blinked in shock.

"Now I do…" I replied, "It's complicated… I'll explain on the date,"

"Don't worry sis, we are siblings like in the disney movies," Alice winked, approaching Sif, "Not like in porn," she whispered.

"Porn?" Sif muttered, and thank goodness Emily didn't hear her.

Moving faster than I even knew I could, I approached Sif, and whispered, "Don't say that word in front of the children, I'll also explain that later…"

"Understood," Sif nodded.
