.....

"Can I… ask where this came from?" Roger returned the box containing the Mind Stone to Wonder Woman, Diana, and began asking how she came into possession of the gemstone.

Diana didn't hide anything and replied, "It was during World War I. At that time, I hadn't left Themyscira. One day, a stranger appeared on the island, a girl.."

"It wasn't Steve…?" Roger asked.

"Steve came later… Wait, how do you know about Steve?" Diana responded offhandedly before realizing that Roger knew about her past lover.

Roger waved his hand and said, "That's not important. You said you met the girl, then what?"

Diana continued, "The girl was seriously injured, as if she had been in a fierce battle with someone. When we asked her where she came from, she said she wasn't from this world. She said she was from another, a world where she was a sorceress."

"A sorceress?"

"Yes, she called herself… the Sorcerer Supreme, or something like that. Sorry, she only mentioned it once, so I'm not sure, but I think that was the name."

"…"

A girl… Sorcerer Supreme… Roger suddenly had an outlandish idea. Could the person Diana met have been a younger version of the Ancient One?

But it didn't make sense. If it was indeed the Ancient One, why would she choose to leave an Infinity Stone in this world? And why would it be the Mind Stone, not the Time Stone?

"Have you heard of that title?" Diana noticed Roger's change in expression and asked.

Under Diana and Jean's curious gaze, Roger explained, "The Sorcerer Supreme is… the protector of a world. Each generation of Sorcerer Supremes guards the Earth from being invaded by other dimensions or parallel worlds. It's quite a significant position."

After explaining, Roger asked, "Did the girl who called herself the Sorcerer Supreme not mention this to you?"

"No, she said she was no longer the Sorcerer Supreme and that she could never return to her world, so she didn't want to talk much about it."

"What happened afterward?"

"Later… later, we met Steve, and together we fought Ares. After we defeated Ares, the girl disappeared, leaving only this behind." Diana pointed to the box containing the Mind Stone.

Roger more or less understood the whole situation.

During World War I, a girl claiming to be the Sorcerer Supreme somehow ended up on Themyscira. She built a friendship with the people there and became Diana's friend. Together, they successfully defeated Ares, and afterward, the girl vanished.

For years, Diana had been searching for her friend. Now, after hearing online rumors that Roger and Jean were from a parallel world, she approached them, hoping Roger might know something about her friend.

"Did the girl tell you her name?" Roger finally remembered to ask this crucial question.

"Her name was Andrea, Andrea Kelson. But we usually just called her 'Andy.'"

"That's not a name I've heard…" Roger thought hard but couldn't recall anyone in the Marvel universe by the name of Andrea, nor a Sorcerer Supreme with such a name.

Since it wasn't a name he recognized from the movies or comics, could it be that… she was also a traveler from another world?

Another person like him who had crossed over? And one who arrived over a hundred years earlier?

Thinking of this possibility, Roger's eyes lit up.

If there were others who had crossed over, maybe they knew a way to return to the original Earth.

Could this Sorcerer Supreme named Andy have come to the DC Universe to find a way home?

This possibility made Roger eager to meet this person named Andy.

But before that, Roger needed to clarify the situation with Diana.

"I'm sorry, I haven't heard of that name. But if she really is the Sorcerer Supreme, that narrows it down significantly. If you trust me, I can help you look for your friend."

"As long as there's a lead, that's good. Honestly… it's been so many years that I never really expected to see her again. But if you do find her, just tell Andy not to forget about her friend, and give her my regards," Diana said with a light smile.

After nearly a hundred years without contact, even the deepest friendships can fade over time.

Diana had always remembered Andy, but she no longer felt the urgency to find her old friend. It was more of an obsession, a desire to know if Andy was doing well, to let her know that she was doing well, too.

Roger, not having lived as long, couldn't fully understand Diana's feelings at that moment. However, he could promise to fulfill her request. Besides, Roger also wanted to find this person named Andy.

Diana left the Mind Stone behind and bid farewell.

According to her, the stone held immense power in Andy's world. But in this world, it was just a gemstone, and keeping it with her was of no use. Andy had left many things behind, and she didn't care much about this powerless stone.

Since Roger intended to search the world where Andy might have gone, it made more sense to leave the stone with him as a source of power.

After Diana left, Roger stared silently at the box containing the Mind Stone in his hand.

He had never intended to take any Infinity Stones. It wasn't that Roger didn't want them, but they were critical to the Marvel universe. If any of the Infinity Stones were missing before they were destroyed, it could have catastrophic consequences for the Marvel world.

Roger wasn't one to cause such chaos. Even if he was tempted by the stones, he never considered taking one for himself. Moreover, the Infinity Stones would lose their power once they left the Marvel universe, so they wouldn't be of much use to him.

But now…

Without having done anything, Roger had obtained a Mind Stone of his own. When he returned to the Marvel world, this stone would become one of his trump cards.

He might even be able to challenge Infinity Ultron.

"Wait, Infinity Ultron…?" Looking at the now powerless stone, Roger suddenly came up with a plan to deal with Infinity Ultron.

What if… and this was purely hypothetical… the Infinity Stones lost their power once they left the Marvel world? Roger could establish a crossing point to an empty, deserted world beforehand.

Then, when the crossing point was ready, he could bring Infinity Ultron into that empty world…

Wouldn't he be able to beat Ultron effortlessly?

"Why didn't I think of this earlier!" Roger smacked his forehead in a moment of self-reproach.

If defeating Ultron could be that simple, why wouldn't he agree to the Watcher's terms?

And since Roger would inevitably return to the Marvel world, and now had the task of finding Andrea given to him by Diana, he might as well deal with the threat of Infinity Ultron first before focusing on other matters.

"It's decided then!"

Bang!

Roger slapped the table with a loud thud.

The sudden noise startled Jean, who had been idly scrolling on her phone. Confused, she asked, "Decided… what? I thought you already decided to help Ms. Prince?"

"No, I wasn't talking about that. It's something else." Roger replied casually while mentally plotting his next steps.

First, Roger needed to return to The Boys universe to drop Jean off for a while and ask Winter Soldier and Thor if they wanted to join his team.

Then… Roger had to find a barren, network-free, preferably post-apocalyptic world and establish a crossing point with it. After that, he would head to Ultron's universe to deal with Infinity Ultron.

Even if crossing worlds wouldn't instantly kill Ultron, as long as he couldn't use his Infinity Stones, Roger would be able to overpower him.

*Ding!*

Main Mission: Find Andrea. Side Mission: Defeat Infinity Ultron!

In his mind, Roger playfully assigned himself these 'missions,' then left the café with Jean.

There wasn't much happening in the DC world at the moment. Even if Superman and Batman were to fight, that wouldn't happen for another year and a half.

For now, Roger needed to deal with Zod's corpse to prevent the birth of Doomsday.

After that, he would spend the remaining time thoroughly studying the crossing point.

Roger had now reached a point where he could reverse-engineer the crossing point using his bio-field and even use the energy absorbed from sunlight to charge it.

Once Roger could actively charge the crossing point, he might no longer need to rely on random jumps between worlds.

Perhaps he could even manipulate the crossing point to take him precisely to the world he wanted to reach.

If he could do that, Roger should be able to find the 'apocalyptic world' he had in mind soon enough.
