"Sorry Jack, I forgot about that, I can lift this machine easily but can't get it up the stairs or the elevator because of the weight." Said the Thing when remembering the machine's problem.
"I think I can work this out," Jack said.
Jack saw the machine Reed was talking about, it was a 1-ton machine but it wasn't that big so Jack thought he could put it in one of the rooms in the house he rented.
As Jack opened a large teleportation portal to his empty room in his house, Reed and the members of the Fantastic Four were surprised to see Jack's portal.
"You're underestimating Jack, I said he knew magic, he can create a teleportation portal to a place he's already been, now Ben can take the machine to that place on the other side of the portal," Johnny said happy to see his teammates shocked.
Ben took the machine and went through the portal and placed the engine near the wall and went back through the portal, he was still amazed by the magic.
"I'll give you a manual on how to use the machine later, now let's train a little, I haven't used my strength for a while." Said the excited Thing to fight Jack.
Soon the two went to Ben's training place, and the other members of the Fantastic Four went to see how Jack fought, they knew that Thing was stronger than Jack, but it was hard to see anyone having the courage to face Thing in a fight.
"You can use your full strength, Jack, I want to see how strong you are currently." Said the Thing as he prepared to fight.
Jack knew that the Thing wasn't underestimating him, after all, he knew well that even using magic he couldn't hurt Ben, so he used all his speed and strength in this fight, but he didn't use magic.
The Thing was pleased upon receiving Jack's attacks and realized that he really was strong, even if it wasn't as much as he or the Hulk, Jack was much stronger than normal humans, if Jack really could get stronger by training he had great potential.
The other members of the Fantastic Four also recognized that Jack was strong, but that didn't impress them too much, after all, Susan, Reed, and Johnny could handle a weight of 500 kg even if they didn't have super strength.
But they realized that all of Jack's attacks could use his maximum strength, it sure could defeat several villains even if he maintained that strength, if Jack really could get stronger without limit, that would be terrifying in the future.
The members of the Fantastic Four were impressed with Jack's strength potential, but little did they realize that Jack's advantage was that along with his increased strength, he would increase speed, agility, durability, stamina, and regeneration.
So if Jack could one day lift 10 tons of weight, he had no idea what his speed and regeneration would be like, maybe he could be almost immortal if he could lift 300 tons someday.
Jack and the Thing's fight lasted a few hours until Jack got tired, so the members of the Fantastic Four were impressed with Jack's physical resistance, Ben was more excited after fighting for so long.
After the fight, Jack was still talking to the members of the Fantastic Four and soon they considered him a friend, after all, Jack was not arrogant like most of the heroes that the Fantastic Four knew.
"I'm going to have to leave now, thanks to all of you for having me here and thanks for the training machine, it will definitely help me get stronger, if you need any help in the future, you can call me," Jack said seriously.
"I hope we can meet to talk next time, I don't want to meet an enemy that is so strong that we call out to you," Reed said laughing.
Jack opened a portal and went to Kamar-Taj again, he took his things because he thought it would be a long fight, but with the help of Stephen and the Human Torch, he was able to return on the same day.
Peter Parker still had a week off from university and Jack wanted to spend the rest of the time reading more books and training magic because even if he could keep coming to Kamar-Taj using a portal, he would have to fight the bandits from New York and do physical training when he got back.
Jack needs to focus on his physical training, after all, it increased his speed, durability, stamina, and regeneration, and this would help him stay alive even if he became a mage in the future.
If Jack didn't know that the Ancient One and Karl Mordo would get angry, he would ask the Ancient One to use the Time Stone so he would have more time to study magic.
Fortunately, Jack learned from the Ancient One that it would still take a few years for Loki to invade New York, he would have enough time to learn magic until when it was really necessary.
Time passed and Peter Parker had ended his vacation time, Jack didn't know what had happened, but it looked like Peter had ended his relationship with Betty Brant.
Jack remembered seeing in the comics that Betty Brant was very jealous and even paranoid, but Jack thought these problems were caused by Peter always having to leave when an accident happened and he had to become Spider Man.
That's why he helped Peter whenever he needed to not go through these problems with Betty and Aunt May, in the comics Jack didn't like her very much, but he also didn't like Spider Man, Thor, Doctor Strange, Iron Man, and several heroes.
As Jack knew that this universe was different from the comics he had no prejudice against anyone, so much so that he saw that Peter Parker, the Fantastic Four, and Doctor Strange, and Karl Mordo were much better than in the comics, more like their personalities. at the movies.
What worried Jack was that Peter started dating Gwen Stacy just like in the comics and that Gwen ended up dying, if it was like in the comics, Jack had to save Gwen and not prevent Peter from living his life the way he wanted.
