Marvel Multiverse: Family System

Although she was very interested in the KW89 Strengthening Serum, Natasha didn't lose focus.

"I believe the director will be very interested in this deal." Natasha smiled. "But for now, we should get going. There's a runaway princess waiting for her prince to arrive."

Vex nodded.

Activating the Rabbit Talisman, he devoured the entire table of food in an instant—it was all Lewis' favorite dishes!

He then carried Lewis in a princess hold and walked outside.

A Quinjet was parked on an open field, radiating advanced technology up close.

The hatch opened.

Inside, instead of simple seating, there were luxurious sofa chairs, clearly recently added and completely out of place.

At the cockpit, Barton turned his head, giving Vex a slight nod.

Vex smiled back in response, laid Lewis down, and sank into the soft sofa chair next to her.

"Buzz...buzz..."

The chair's massage function activated, as if delicate hands were gently soothing his back.

"Not bad."

Natasha boarded the Quinjet after sending her report on the KW89 Strengthening Serum.

Barton initiated the Quinjet, the folded wings expanded, and the aircraft took off vertically before accelerating steadily toward Tennessee.

The flight was smooth with little turbulence.

Vex was pleased.

Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind.

"Where's Jane? Is she not coming?"

"Dr. Jane left at noon with her equipment," Natasha explained. "The Rainbow Bridge confirmed the feasibility of the 'Einstein-Rosen Bridge,' and she's determined to find the answer."

Ah, that makes sense... She's probably hoping to find Thor too. But it's not a big deal.

Thor is a "career-driven man." Even after the Rainbow Bridge is repaired, he'll be busy quelling rebellions across the nine realms.

Later, Jane gets so desperate that she agrees to arranged dates.

And this is after their "kiss of fate."

As for now... Vex had plenty of chances to win her over.

But the immediate priority was Miss Polaris.

He casually gave an order

"I happen to need a flying vehicle for transportation. Put one of these on the trade list."

"But this space is too small for long trips. Add a medium to large aircraft from the same series."

Natasha nodded decisively.

"I'll report it."

Without a doubt, Fury would approve.

After all, the Quinjet, while cutting-edge on Earth, was just a "commuter vehicle" for someone from Vex's interstellar-traveling civilization.

"I'm curious," Natasha feigned interest. "There was no wreckage at your landing site. So where's your ship?"

Vex didn't answer right away.

He activated the Golden Treasury, and behind him, a golden portal appeared. From it floated out the Destroyer Armor.

"A foldable space storage device. It's the latest application of wormhole technology, currently only available to my race," Vex boasted proudly.

Natasha's eyes gleamed at the golden portal!

Even Barton couldn't help but turn his head for a better look.

This...

The strategic potential was immeasurable!

You wouldn't even need to launch a nuke—just have someone carry one right into an enemy capital…

"Is it for sale?"

Vex shook his head.

Natasha wasn't ready to give up just yet and was about to make a counter-offer...

"This is a prototype, the only one in the universe," Vex said slowly. "It was an accidental byproduct during our research on intergalactic teleportation devices. It can't be replicated at the moment."

Natasha felt a pang of disappointment. It couldn't be replicated…

Then, her eyes twinkled!

The prototype was still with Vex!

It seemed he had no intention of trading it.

This would need some long-term planning.

Vex closed his eyes, preparing to rest.

The distance between Tennessee and New Mexico was far, so it would be a bit of a flight.

"Oh, by the way," Vex reminded. "When Lewis wakes up, she'll be very hungry. Get some quick energy food ready."

Unlike Vex, Louise didn't have the Rabbit Talisman, so using ordinary means to eat would be a real hassle for her.

Natasha turned to a compartment, opened a hidden drawer, and pulled out several packets of military rations.

Tearing open a pack, she handed Vex an energy bar.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.'s special ops ration. The taste is decent."

Using the Rooster Talisman for telekinesis, Vex took the energy bar and used the Pig Talismans laser eyes to cut open the package before taking a bite.

It was solid and chewy.

But the more he chewed, the more flavorful it became, and the energy it provided was substantial.

Not bad.

At that moment, the Quinjet entered the stratosphere, and Barton, having set it to autopilot, joined them in the cabin.

"Mr. Vex Star, you promised me a healing opportunity, and I'd like to use it now," Barton said.

Vex looked at Barton with surprise. He didn't seem hurt—was he asking for someone else?

"Of course, you can redeem it anytime," Vex replied. "By the way, my surname is 'Star,' and 'Vex' is my first name."

"Got it, Mr. Star."

"You can call me Vex since we're friends now."

"Alright, Vex." Barton corrected himself. "You mentioned last time that even missing limbs can be healed. What about... a removed uterus?"

Natasha flinched

She stared wide-eyed at Barton, realizing he was serious.

Then she focused her gaze on Vex

If there was one regret she had in life...

It was that, as a woman, she couldn't have her own children

If this were possible...

Vex gave a confident nod. "Of course, it's possible. You want me to heal Natasha, right?"

"Yes!" Barton replied without hesitation.

"There's no need for that," Vex said, looking at Natasha. "From now on, you'll be my personal assistant, handling communication with S.H.I.E.L.D. As part of the deal, I'll give you free treatment as an employment benefit."

Natasha was overjoyed!

Her original plan had been to "stay in place and observe."

Even if Vex decided to make her his, she would go along with it—no hesitation, no holding back.

So this "personal assistant" role seemed like a free win.

"No problem." Natasha immediately agreed.

"Don't be so quick to accept," Vex said with a smile. "As my personal assistant, if you get too close to any other men, it wouldn't be good for their health."

Huh?

"Because I'll break their legs as a warning," Vex continued, speaking slowly.

Barton: "..."

Natasha: "..."

Uh...

Isn't this possessiveness a bit too much?

Vex remained silent, only smiling.

His feelings toward Natasha were complicated.

As a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, she was decent.

But during her time at the Red Room, her beauty and body had been used as weapons.

The missions she carried out...

There's no denying it.

Why else would they remove her uterus?

Even if it wasn't her choice, Vex couldn't completely accept it.

So
