Chapter 1459: Victory and Separate Parties

When the tip of the scepter touched the Tesseract, the turbulent blue energy inside the Tesseract suddenly stopped, and the pillar of light that reached high into the sky faded and disappeared.
The huge space portal shrunk in less than two seconds and then no longer existed.
At the same time, all the Chitauri soldiers, fliers and battleships collapsed as if they were dead.
Everybody was relieved. A crisis that could have destroyed humanity was finally averted!
Even though everyone had extraordinary stamina, they were now all deeply exhausted.
The highly intense battle had lasted for half an hour, and tens of thousands of Chitauri soldiers and fliers had bombarded the place.
If anything went wrong, the entire operation might fail, and Earth might be destroyed.
The pressure had been too great.
If Batman hadn’t taken the lead and even destroyed one of the enemy’s motherships, they might not have been able to last until now.
Frank led them, and the others took down the enemy dauntlessly. There was always ample backup, and no one in either team was injured. That was why everyone could hold out until the end.
Seeing Big Dipper slowly descend from the top of the building, everybody gathered around him.
Steve was panting heavily. Looking at the Chitauri soldiers around him, he asked in a low voice, “Did we win?”
Big Dipper nodded. “We won.”
A gold and red armor suit to the ground and the visor opened. Tony had a tired smile on his face. “The Chitauri lost. New York is still ours.”
Everybody looked at each other and gradually laughed and cheered. “We won.”
“We finally won.”
“I’m so tired.”
“Boss, when will I get the money?” someone said over the comms, but was blocked by Mr. Bobo once more.
Only Big Dipper noticed, and he looked up at the top of Stark Tower.
A figure in black and red armor looked down from where it was swinging its legs on the edge of the circular rooftop.
Luke smiled. “Someone will deliver it to you tonight; you can think about where to go on your vacation.”
Wade: “Oh, you’re a straightforward person. I like you the most, boss.”
What you like most is my money!?Luke chuckled inwardly.
He looked away and used Batman’s ID to speak on the channel. “Everyone, please remember that Batman has already entered the space portal and is ‘missing’ for now. So, we should all leave first. There are still many things to be done after this.”
The eyes of the adults flickered, while the minors stared blankly.
The victory celebration thus came to an end, and everybody dispersed.
Tony said, “Hm, actually, a missing person won’t affect us getting food, right? I remember there’s a diner three blocks away that sells shawarma. I heard it tastes good…”
Batman said, “You can go. Forget us, we still have kids.”
The Avengers: …
The adults all understood that this was purely empty talk.
It was impossible for Batman’s group of unofficial superheroes to sit around and eat leisurely.
Even if Batman really did die on the other side of the space portal, he would still have left behind a lot of good stuff. The Bat suit’s technology alone was enough to tempt a lot of people.
Batman’s teammates might have leads on things like these.
A cautious person wouldn’t put their teammates in such meaningless danger.
Ten minutes later, the Avengers were sitting around haphazardly in a shawarma diner. They were also the only customers.
Food was piled up on the table, and everybody ate silently.
The owner, who was clearly East Asian, was cleaning the kitchen counter. A white woman was also cleaning up the dining area, which was littered with detritus and debris.
Both of them recognized the customers at the table; everybody in New York recognized Tony’s gold and red suit.
It was for this reason that the old man didn’t refuse them, and made them a table full of food. However, that was it.
The people of Manhattan had suffered too much today, and the old man and the middle-aged woman weren’t superhero fans.
Even though these superheroes had saved a lot of people, it was hard for ordinary people to feel happy about the situation outside.
The survivors were glad, but most of them were scared.
Looking at the slightly listless faces around the table, Tony felt a little pained.
…
While the Avengers were busy devouring the shawarma, the special force team was in a much better mood.
In particular, when Batman appeared at the Bat Cave base with Big Ben’s face, Mindy and the four little turtles cheered.
These kids had still been a little worried about Batman.
After all, the news said that Batman had sacrificed himself when he killed the aliens with a nuclear missile.
Kids tended to be easily influenced by the outside world, and worried about the gains and losses.
Seeing that Batman was still alive, they finally relaxed.
After cheering, Mindy put her hands under her chin and looked up at him. “Bruce, are we really not going to celebrate?”
Luke smiled and patted her head. “We’ll do it right here.”
Mikey couldn’t help but ask, “Is there cheese pizza? The blue cheese kind?”
Mindy looked at him in shock. “What are you talking about? How can such scary food exist in this world?”
Stumped, Mikey rubbed his head. “But it’s delicious.”
Watching the five kids bicker over what to eat, Luke smiled and walked into the kitchen. Avoiding everyone’s gazes, he took out a huge pile of ready-made food from his inventory.
A moment later, Angel walked in and stood quietly not far away.
Luke threw the pizza into the microwave and turned to look at her. “What’s up?”
Angel said, “It’s time to send me back.”
In the past, after completing a mission, she would be sent to sleep and put back in Space 2 before she was returned to where she was staying.
Looking at “Angel” on the system’s list of 1-star teammates, Luke shook his head. “No need. Your life will return to normal in the future.”
Angel stared at him in surprise. “What?”
Luke said, “Like I said, as long as you’re sincere about working with me, you’re free.”
Angel didn’t seem too happy. Instead, she frowned. “How do you know I’m not lying?”
Luke was lost for words.?You were red to begin with. After today’s battle, you’re a light green 1-star teammate. How can I pretend that I don’t know?
“Alright, I’ll give you a month off after today. You can go wherever you want to play. I’ll let you know when it’s time to come back.” He then patted Angel’s shoulder and gave her a large platter of heated pizza, hamburgers, and roast meat. “Let’s go celebrate our victory today.”
Watching him leave with another platter of food, Angel was stumped for a moment, before she followed him blankly.. She mumbled to herself,?A holiday? Go out and play? It’s been a long time since I’ve done something like that.
