Lucas continued to wander aimlessly, soaking in the atmosphere of human life, until he passed a coffee shop.
Inside the coffee shop, a couple, intimately close, were whispering and laughing.
The man had a thick, light golden long hair like a lion's mane.
The woman also had golden hair.
Noticing Lucas's gaze, the blond man turned his head and looked at Lucas. He stood up, smiled, opened his arms, and walked towards Lucas.
"Good evening, Lucas."
"Good evening, Thor."
Lucas smiled and exchanged a polite hug with the enthusiastic Thor.
Thor pulled Lucas's arm and walked into the shop. "Lucas, let me introduce you. This is Jane Foster, my girlfriend."
After introducing Jane Foster to Lucas, Thor then introduced Lucas to Jane Foster, "Jane, this is Lucas, my brother."
"Hello, Jane." Lucas smiled and greeted Jane Foster.
After the pleasantries, Lucas asked curiously, "Thor, Jane, can you tell me how you two met?"
In the original plot of the movie Thor, Thor would be stripped of his divine power by Odin and banished to Earth for instigating a war between the Frost Giants and the Asgardians, where he would meet and fall in love with Jane Foster, an astrophysicist.
But in Earth-404, Lucas alone intimidated Jotunheim and suppressed the Frost Giants. Thor also escaped Odin's punishment.
Although, Thor eventually still came to Earth, how did Thor, who never lost his divine power, meet and fall in love with the mortal Jane Foster?
Lucas was very curious about this.
Jane's gaze turned to Thor.
Her process of meeting Thor involved some S.H.I.E.L.D. confidentiality clauses, and she wasn't sure if she could talk about it.
Thor, on the other hand, didn't consider any of this and answered directly.
Because of the series of things Lucas did on Japan, other countries on Earth and S.H.I.E.L.D. were provoked. They began to secretly research the Tesseract, attempting to use it to create high-tech weapons.
The commotion caused by the Tesseract attracted Thanos's attention. Thanos sent Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian to raid the S.H.I.E.L.D. Base, snatching the Tesseract and slaughtering half the people at the base, using the coordinates sent when the Tesseract was activated.
Erik, the chief engineer of the project, unfortunately died, and the surviving assistant, Jane Foster, replaced him and was brought to S.H.I.E.L.D. to attend an emergency meeting. At the meeting, Jane and Thor met.
"You two really are destined, as if chosen by fate." After listening, Lucas couldn't help but sigh.
The plot had changed so much, yet the two could still meet and fall in love. It was as if an invisible force was secretly influencing all of this.
Thor and Jane exchanged a smile and said in unison, "Yes, I think so too."
Lucas smiled.
What he understood and what Thor and Jane understood were clearly somewhat different.
Lucas was focused on fate, the similar fates across the Multiverse.
Thor and Jane were focused on destiny, the destiny of two people who were originally unrelated to meet and fall in love by chance.
However, if the Web of Life and Destiny wrote Spider-Man's fate, what wrote Thor's fate?
The gods behind the World Tree?
After greeting Thor and Jane, Lucas continued his wandering journey.
He suddenly had a premonition that something unusual would happen tonight.
"Thor, who is he?"
After Lucas had walked away, Jane asked in a low voice. She felt Lucas was a bit eccentric.
"He is Lucas. Jane, haven't you heard that name?"
"Lucas? That's a common name, I've heard it in many places."
She remembered, she had heard that name at the emergency meeting on the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier.
The research into weapons using the Tesseract was to guard against Lucas and Thor.
And the two who easily dismantled the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. Base's defenses, their leader, and the entire fleet, were easily destroyed by the man named Lucas.
"He's that Lucas?"
"Yes."
"Oh my god!"
Jane couldn't help but gasp.
...
Soon after, Lucas's wandering journey was interrupted.
As he was strolling down the street, a flashy sports car suddenly stopped beside him. The window rolled down, revealing Tony in a suit and sunglasses.
"Get in."
"Where to?" Lucas walked to the other side, opened the car door, got in, and buckled his seatbelt.
"You'll know when we get there."
The car launched, speeding away.
"Slow down."
Lucas reminded, "This is the city."
"With Jarvis's assistance, even if we double the speed, nothing will happen."
"It's not about whether something will happen, it's mainly about getting a ticket."
Tony smiled proudly. "The New York Police Department won't give me a ticket, I'm their big patron."
A moment later, the car stopped at a port, where a private yacht was already docked, ready to set sail at any moment.
"Oh, a yacht party?" Lucas raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Heh." Tony chuckled, not explaining, just leading the way.
Boarding the yacht, several people were already waiting.
"Stark, why are you so slow?"
"Lucas's phone was unreachable again, and I didn't find him when I went to his bookstore. It was only with Jarvis's help that I found him from street surveillance."
Tony explained, then told the captain to depart for a nearby isolated island.
Contrary to Lucas's expectation, this was not a yacht party, but an isolated island party.
However...
Lucas scanned the surroundings.
Happy, Rhodes, Bruce, Steve, Pietro, Loki.
On the yacht, all the guests Tony invited were, without exception, male.
"Hey, Tony, what's going on? Why are they all men? This isn't some shady party, is it?"
Hearing Lucas's words, the others' gazes towards Tony also became strange.
Tony laughed and scolded, "Get out of here. This is my bachelor party."
Rhodes asked, "Tony, you've decided to get married? Who's the bride? Pepper?"
"Yes."
Arriving at the isolated island, the villa in the night was brightly lit, illuminating half the night sky, very conspicuous.
Before they could enter, the blasting music began to assault their eardrums.
The door opened.
Colorful lights flashed, and young, beautiful girls danced.
"Welcome to my bachelor party, gentlemen and ladies."
Tony stood on the stage, picked up the microphone, and said wildly, "Let's enjoy tonight to the fullest."
Steve frowned and shook his head, he didn't like this kind of occasion.
Pietro was a little awkward, he was still young and not quite used to such occasions.
Bruce quickly took several deep breaths, he needed to control himself, to control the Hulk.
Happy, Rhodes, and Loki were in their element, walking towards the crowd.
Lucas, on the other hand, smiled meaningfully. He had a premonition that something unusual would happen tonight.
