Rhodey smiled and congratulated them, then the four said their goodbyes, and Rhodey and Wanda watched their car drive away before turning and walking in the other direction.
"Do you need me to take you back to Avengers Base?"
Rhodey asked Wanda beside him.
"Hmm, it's getting late, I should go back."
Wanda nodded; it was past 11, and honestly, the others might already be looking for her.
After all, her condition hasn't been very good these past two days, and if they found her missing, the other Avengers would definitely worry if something unexpected had happened to her.
Even if Wanda herself was fine, they were also worried that an emotionally unstable Wanda might hurt someone.
If that happened, it would only make things worse!
"Hold my hand."
Rhodey reached out and took Wanda's hand, saying.
The next second—
The two figures instantly vanished.
A stray cat, rummaging through a nearby trash can, meowed loudly in fright, looking as if it had seen a ghost.
...
New York, somewhere in the suburbs.
This was a forest road not far from Avengers Base.
Rhodey appeared here with Wanda.
"We've arrived."
Rhodey said.
"Rhodey, are you free tomorrow?"
Wanda released his hand and asked.
"Yes, why?"
Rhodey looked at Wanda.
"Let me treat you to a meal!" Wanda said, "I know a pretty good restaurant nearby. I'll call you then?"
"Sounds good."
Rhodey nodded, not refusing.
"Then I'll head back now 0....." Hearing Rhodey agree, Wanda said happily.
"Okay, get some rest!"
Rhodey waved goodbye to her.
At the same time;
Inside Avengers Base not far away.
The Avengers, who had just searched everywhere for Wanda and hadn't found her, now received a message from the Base's AI, stating that Wanda had suddenly appeared on a road near the Base.
And there was another person with her!
The Avengers, relieved to get the news, were also curious about what Wanda had been up to tonight.
And who was the person with her?
"Friday, do you have any photos from the scene?"
Natasha asked at this moment.
As the leader of the Avengers and a member of the original Avengers, Natasha was especially concerned about the two female members of the team.
After all, there were few female members in the Avengers.
Besides her, there were only Wanda and Jessica.
And both of them had their own problems.
This made Natasha have to put more effort into them.
It was normal to be concerned about the identity of the stranger with Wanda now, especially given Wanda's current emotional state; Natasha was worried if she might be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.
Just then;
A photo appeared on the screen in front of them.
One of the people in the photo was Wanda.
She looked to be in good spirits, with a smile on her face that hadn't been seen in a long time.
And what truly surprised Natasha was the person standing beside Wanda.
It was Rhodey!
The man who had once been labeled as an extremely dangerous target by S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Even after S.H.I.E.L.D. disbanded, Natasha often thought of this man, but because the HYDRA situation was more urgent, Natasha hadn't contacted him again afterwards.
But deep down, she always remembered some of Fury's past evaluations of Rhodey.
While it couldn't be said that Fury's evaluations were always correct.
At least most of the time, his evaluations of a person were accurate!
"It's him!"
Luke Cage and Jessica, who were nearby, also recognized the person in the photo.
"You two know him too?"
Sam asked.
Both nodded, and Luke Cage even said, "He's Spider-Woman's boyfriend, we met him once at a restaurant before."
"This guy's a playboy."
Jessica added.
She remembered seeing Rhodey at the restaurant last time, and he had two young and beautiful girls with him.
She hadn't expected him to be bothering Wanda now!
Unforgivable!
"A playboy? Do I need to go warn him?"
Sam chuckled at the remark, saying.
A mere playboy, he obviously didn't take it seriously.
"No, he's not just a playboy."
Natasha said with a serious expression.
"Does he have some special identity?"
Sam asked curiously.
Even Luke Cage and Jessica looked puzzled.
Apparently, they also didn't know anything about Rhodey.
After all, these were matters that Fury, the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., had tasked Natasha with investigating when S.H.I.E.L.D. was still active.
The only people present who knew about Rhodey's situation were Natasha and Steve.
Perhaps Tony also knew something about Rhodey's situation.
But Tony was not present at the moment.
And although Vision could access global network data, some things couldn't be found on the internet.
"This person is very dangerous; Fury had me investigate him before S.H.I.E.L.D. disbanded."
Natasha said.
Perhaps fearing that others wouldn't understand, Natasha then shared some more information about Rhodey.
For example, he once emerged from the Sun, carrying energy that even exceeded the energy produced by the largest nuclear weapon explosion in the World!
And he had displayed abilities like instantaneous movement, immunity to various attacks, and so on.
By the time Natasha finished speaking, Sam and the others also realized the danger of Rhodey.
He was definitely more dangerous than any enemy they had ever faced!
Even the Ultron of the past.
Is far less threatening than this man.
