Chapter 884 The lads went home before Christmas!
Ultimately, this problem remained unresolved: the Inhumans' intention was to find their descendants on Earth, awaken them as Inhumans through the Terrigen Mist, and then have them join Attila.
The Avengers' stance on this matter naturally requires the consent of the individuals involved. Furthermore, humanity hasn't even completely resolved the mutant problem yet; we're still living in fear that your neighbor might be a mutant. To expect humanity to confront another, similar subspecies of human now seems absurd.
Furthermore, even if negotiations were to take place, they wouldn't be with the Avengers. It seems the Inhumans' stance is clear: they want S.H.I.E.L.D.'s help to recruit Inhumans among humans and bring them to Attila. These are clearly matters the Avengers cannot resolve, so after a thorough discussion with the Inhumans, they left, leaving only the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and Black Bolt's team to negotiate.
Logan and his group were even more decisive, leaving earlier than planned. With Iliana around, they could run faster anyway.
As for Skye's question—
"I think this matter should be left to her to resolve herself; no one else has the right to make the decision for her."
Before leaving, Captain America mentioned it to Coulson but didn't interfere much further. Meanwhile, Mar-Vell asked Peter, "You've been to other universes, Spider-Man, do you know what happens?"
"I have absolutely no idea—not exactly, but it probably won't be of much help."
Peter shook his head. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents' storyline and the MCU's S.H.I.E.L.D. agents' storyline started the same, but otherwise had nothing in common. Even setting aside the fact that Skye's Inhuman identity in the TV series was only revealed after S.H.I.E.L.D. disbanded, and even without those events, the Inhuman storyline of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents' storyline had little to do with Attila's current Inhuman storyline.
Oh, no, the MCU does have an Inhumans TV series, but just like the Inhumans IP itself, nobody cares about it.
Peter shared what he knew about the Inhumans with Mar-Vell, but when Mar-Vell heard about the existence of mature Inhuman tribes on Earth, he couldn't help but deny it: "That's definitely not true. I've conducted tests. There are absolutely no Inhumans who have awakened their abilities and are active among humans."
"If your tests are indeed completely fine, then it's probably a difference between parallel universes, which is even more insurmountable."
Tony, walking beside him, added, then looked at the others: "Speaking of which, today is Christmas Eve. I know it's already Christmas in some places, but not in New York, right? That means we still have time to set up for the Christmas party!"
Everyone looked at Tony, and the captain retorted uncertainly, "Vision needs the whole world to destroy Ultron, and Christmas is only a few hours away. We might not have time to make arrangements. Besides, after this, we'll need all sorts of other things—"
"Stop, Captain. We just saved the world, can't we have a few hours to celebrate Christmas together?"
Tony couldn't help but shake his head, then the captain sighed helplessly, while Vision looked around and said, "Christmas Eve might not be an option, but if we hurry, I can finish work by 7 p.m. tomorrow, as long as there is cooperation worldwide."
Tony then looked at Captain America, his expression quite expectant. Captain America sighed helplessly, then shook his head with a smile: "Alright, if everyone's free, you can come to Avengers Base for Christmas. But only if you're free. Spider-Man, take us back."
"Let me make this clear, everyone, I probably won't be able to stay too late tomorrow. I need to go back to my aunt and uncle for Christmas tonight," Peter said as he opened the Suspension Gate, and everyone stepped through one by one. Bob was the last one, and as he was about to go through, he seemed to notice something was wrong. Bob turned around and saw that Peter, Gwen, and Cindy hadn't come in yet.
"Aren't you going back to base, Spider-Man?"
"I'm going straight home. Please tell everyone, Bob, see you tomorrow."
Peter waved to Bob, then watched as Bob stepped across before closing the portal. Peter then looked at Cindy: "Let's send you back first. Opening the door directly in your house—that doesn't seem quite right."
"And don't open it in your house or mine," Gwen added. "Neither my dad nor Uncle Ben and Aunt May know I'm a superhero."
Peter sighed helplessly, then used the Suspended Ring to open the entrance to the Web Base. The three of them stepped inside. Because the network was cut off, the interior of the Web Base was pitch black, but fortunately, Peter could light it up by raising his fist.
"It'll definitely be better to start from here. Tomorrow is Christmas, everyone have a good day!"
Peter saw Cindy and suddenly remembered that since the Scorpion incident, Cindy's family had been replaced by LMDs with Fury. In other words, Cindy would have to spend this holiday alone again. After thinking for a moment, he had an idea: "You know what? I suddenly had an idea, a really good one. Why don't we have a Christmas party or something like that at Web Base and invite Spider-Man and his amazing friends over!"
Gwen looked at Peter with surprise, while Cindy looked up and quickly made some demands: "But we don't have a Christmas tree, and we have no way of knowing the other parts—"
"I'll contact people and buy Christmas trees and such, and try to finalize the list tonight, and then there are other things like gifts—"
As Peter spoke, he thought of something else: he wondered if Chief Inspector George Stacy would need to work overtime on Christmas. If so, Gwen would be alone.
However, this problem is relatively easy to solve. After all, a similar thing happened a few years ago, and the solution at that time was to invite Gwen to Parker's house to spend Christmas together. Anyway, it wasn't the first time.
"Great idea, I'll go prepare the gift."
Gwen didn't see anything wrong with Peter's arrangement and prepared to leave after speaking. Cindy, however, glanced at Peter and whispered, "Thank you."
As for Peter, he completely relaxed.
"It seems Gwen was right. The most troublesome thing next is to contact everyone and prepare Christmas gifts for everyone."
