The Thunder Squad was only responsible for dealing with the trouble and cleaning up the mess—that was the job of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the government.

When they took down Black Emperor, Scott's battle had also concluded. Compared to Mike and the others, the mutants who fell to Scott were much luckier—they were simply knocked out.

The group gathered together, and after Mike used his teleportation ability, they disappeared from the launch base and appeared at the location where the plane was stationed.

The sudden appearance of the group startled Nick Fury, who was watching in the direction of the base.

When he saw it was Mike and his team, he excitedly exclaimed, "This is amazing! You guys are incredible!"

If given the chance, he'd want to organize a powerful team like theirs.

"Ah-ha!" Mike yawned and said, "Let's head back; I'm getting sleepy."

Everyone nodded, also looking fatigued.

Nick Fury said, "Uh, guys, a little reaction, please! This is making me uncomfortable."

The group lazily raised their hands and called out, "Yo-ho!"

Nick Fury gave them a nod and said, "Thanks for the enthusiasm."

As he finished speaking, the group boarded the plane. After the plane took off, Remy LeBeau called Nick Fury to the cockpit. After explaining the basic controls, Remy handed the plane over to Nick Fury.

Nick Fury stared blankly and shouted to Remy, "I haven't learned yet! What if the plane crashes?"

"Trust yourself! You got this!" Remy made an encouraging gesture and said, "If the plane crashes, we have Mike to save us, but you might not be so lucky, especially considering your relationship with him… Tsk!"

Shaking his head, Remy yawned and walked out of the cockpit.

Nick Fury rubbed his eyes.

Hiss!

He sucked in a sharp breath.

That hurt...

If the plane were to crash, Mike might actually throw him out—he could really see that happening!

At that moment, he heard cheering from inside the cabin, as if a few people were celebrating.

Nick Fury looked at the controls, letting out a deep sigh.

In the end, he was the one carrying the weight alone.

He quietly pulled a small bear-shaped cookie out of his pocket and popped it into his mouth.

...

Meanwhile, after Mike and the others left, communication at the launch base was restored, and when the news of the crisis being resolved reached the White House, cheers erupted.

"But what exactly happened? Who were the ones who defeated Black Emperor? How did they know?"

After the cheer died down, the President couldn't help but ask three rapid-fire questions.

The people in the room exchanged uncertain glances.

They had no idea either...

At that moment, S.H.I.E.L.D. called to explain the situation.

After learning that S.H.I.E.L.D. had discovered Black Emperor's plot and sent a special task force to resolve the crisis in time, the group received a round of praise.

However, S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't mention the fact that they had already known about Black Emperor's scheme hours earlier, but had not informed the launch base or the White House.

After hanging up, Peggy Carter noticed Howard staring at her in surprise. She casually twirled a strand of her hair and smiled. "What are you staring at me for?"

"I thought you would tell them everything, in detail."

"Don't joke," Peggy Carter said with a smile, sitting on the nearby sofa. She pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a slow drag. Her lips parted slightly as a puff of smoke escaped. "Don't you know what they're like? If I told them everything, not only would I waste time and energy, but I'd also get a lecture."

"More importantly, how could they approve our new funding request so smoothly?"

She gave Howard a playful wink and smiled, "Anyway, the problem's been perfectly solved, and Black Emperor is dead."

After a pause, a trace of melancholy crossed her face as she exhaled another puff of smoke. "They're really something. If we had a team like that back then, he..."

Howard walked over to Peggy Carter, took the cigarette from her mouth, and said, "I don't know what would've happened, but I know he wouldn't have liked you smoking this."

He snuffed out the cigarette and added, "Smoke less. It's not good for you."

Peggy Carter nodded, stood up, and said to Howard, "Let's go. We should have a drink to celebrate."

"Ha!" Howard raised his arm. "The celebration of old people."

Peggy Carter laughed, hooked her arm around his, and the two of them quickly left.

...

In contrast to the jubilant group, Hellfire was in complete disarray.

The plan had failed, and with no communication from Black Emperor and his team, anxiety began to set in.

Soon, they received the news.

Those who had gone to the base were either captured or killed.

As for Black Emperor, he was taken down by a masked person.

When Hellfire learned of this, everyone was left in shock and confusion.

Black Emperor, the leader of Hellfire, a figure who was considered invincible in their eyes—was dead?

What would happen to Hellfire now?

The mutants of Hellfire were left in confusion, panic, and even fear...

At that moment, White Queen Emma Frost and Black Queen Selene Galio stepped forward, both declaring that they would continue to lead Hellfire, protect them, and fight for the future of mutants.

But not together—one would lead alone.

And so, the two women clashed in a battle, but both, wary of each other's power, ultimately called a halt.

Their differing ideologies were evident, and even among the other mutants in Hellfire, unity was a distant dream.

Thus, inevitably, Hellfire was split.

Some mutants left Hellfire, while the remaining mutants chose their respective leaders—either White Queen or Black Queen.

In the end, Black Queen and her followers stayed in Las Vegas, while White Queen quietly led her followers away.

In a single night, the Hellfire Club officially fractured.

...

Meanwhile, Mike and the others returned to New York.

As for Hank Pym, not wanting to waste time or deal with any S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel, he had already jumped out of the plane when they flew over San Francisco.

How he landed was none of Mike's group's concern, considering Hank Pym had an army of ants at his disposal.

Finally, at dawn, Mike and his team touched down at the airport.

"So, what are you all planning to do?" Mike asked, looking at the other three with curiosity.

Scott hesitated before answering, "I'm planning to travel from here, then head back to my hometown."

He smiled and added, "Come visit Alaska when you have time."

Mike nodded and turned to look at Logan and Remy LeBeau.

Remy revealed the black bracelet on his wrist and said, "They promised that after this is all over, they'll help me get rid of this thing."

"Congrats," Mike replied.

"Hey!" Remy LeBeau put his arm around Logan's shoulders and said, "Logan, once I get rid of this thing, let's go travel together. After all, you don't have anything else to do."

"Ha!" Logan scoffed but didn't refuse.

When the three of them looked at Mike, he said, "I'm heading home. The kids are waiting for me."

Immediately, envious glances were exchanged.

"Alright, everyone, goodbye."

After exchanging contact details, Mike disappeared with a teleportation.

Logan and the others also parted ways, heading in different directions.

Watching them go, Nick Fury paused and muttered with frustration, "Why did no one ask where I'm going?"

"Hey, Fury!"

Just then, Remy LeBeau suddenly turned and shouted.

Nick Fury looked up, a little happier.

"Take me and Logan to S.H.I.E.L.D. I can tell you're free anyway."

"..."
