The flames died down completely, and amid the cheers of the crowd, Sebastian and Wanda walked out hand in hand from the burned ruins of the power plant, which were almost unrecognizable from the destruction.

When Sebastian stood in the sunlight again, he subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky and his surroundings. He felt that it seemed as if several gazes were looking at him through the barriers of time, space and dimensions. However, now he could only feel those gazes at most. He wanted to see them clearly, or find out where each gaze came from, but he could not do it yet with his current power.

But Sebastian did not know that just by discovering these gazes, the owners of the gazes had already felt incomparable surprise. In the past, on Earth, the only human who could detect their gazes was the Ancient One, but now there might be one more person who could.

Arriving with Wanda, Sebastian glanced at the nearby Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Sebastian nodded slightly and said, “Excuse me, everyone. There was a small incident earlier that got out of hand.”

As soon as Sebastian finished speaking, Tony said, “Everyone, the damage here will be covered by Stark Pharmaceuticals. We will definitely restore it to its original state.”

Looking at Tony, Sebastian whispered, “Thank you very much for covering this.”

“You are welcome. All the money paid will go through Stark Pharmaceuticals. It is all yours anyway.”

“Stingy, then it will be mine to handle.”

Whatever the reason for this incident, it was ultimately Sebastian’s fault. So, this time, Sebastian did not just leave. Instead, he stayed to help Tony clean up the mess and attended a party Tony hosted to bond with the Avengers.

As the night fell, Sebastian sat at Avengers Headquarters, chatting with Tony over a soda.

Wanda was with Natasha, discussing how to make combat uniforms that looked good and fit well.

The party was halfway through when Carol and Medusa arrived, accompanied by a female Inhuman wearing a hooded cape. When she removed her hood, a spiky head and face were revealed. Sebastian recognized her: Raina, an Inhuman with the ability to foresee the future, a former member of the Afterlife settlement!

The Inhumans were divided into various types, and Raina was an animal-type Inhuman, with a hedgehog-like appearance, a head covered in spiky quills, and a face that resembled an animal.

Her abilities, in addition to her animal-type premonition of danger and tension, were enhanced by her precognitive abilities, making her a rare talent among Inhumans.

Carol and Medusa had clearly brought her here for more than just relaxation and fun.

“Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Raina, a member of the Inhumans. She possesses the powerful ability to foresee the future. With her help, we have recently been able to repeatedly eliminate hidden Hydra members and other world-class evil organizations. Therefore, my purpose here is to propose that Raina join us to help us avert disasters before they occur and apprehend criminals and supervillains before they commit serious crimes.”

Upon hearing Carol’s words, everyone present fell silent.

At this moment, Tony approached, glass in hand, and said to Carol, “The future is not set in stone. Preventing disasters before they occur is one thing, but apprehending people before they have committed any crime is a bit too authoritarian. Besides, we cannot know a person’s every thought, nor will we leave all decisions to a single individual.”

As Tony finished speaking, before Carol could say anything more in response, Medusa, standing beside Raina, spoke up.

“Stark, are you suggesting that Raina fabricated the prophecy out of selfish desire? You are questioning the integrity of an Inhuman, and I beg to differ.

Furthermore, if Raina were human, would you still say the same thing?”

Tony frowned slightly. While he had a favorable impression of Black Bolt, he could not quite agree with Medusa’s excessive racial sensitivity. For Black Bolt’s sake, Tony did not dwell on the matter with Medusa.

Turning to Carol, Tony spoke directly, “I am not completely dismissing it, but I think given the ever-changing future, Raina’s predictions can serve as a reference, but not the standard. As for her joining the Avengers, I think we can approve it temporarily, as a trainee member.”

Carol was relatively new to the Avengers, so she did not push for their full approval. Besides, making Raina a trainee was in line with protocol.

You know, the Winter Soldier, War Machine, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Falcon all served as trainees for a while before becoming full-time members of the Avengers, and there was no problem with that process.

Carol looked at Raina and asked, “Raina, what do you think about this?”

Hearing Carol’s words, Raina immediately said, “I can totally accept it. Let us start as a trainee. I think I can definitely…”

Before she finished speaking, Raina’s eyes suddenly widened, her head tilted back, and her eyes turned completely white, as if she was looking at something beyond this reality.

About half a minute later, Raina came back to normal and said to everyone urgently, “I saw it. I saw a large number of Hand members gathered in Hell’s Kitchen in New York, and the one leading them was Elektra, a core member of the Shadow Council!”

Hearing this, Carol immediately asked, “Raina, did you see why they came to Hell’s Kitchen in New York?”

“They seemed to be looking for something. I could not see it clearly, but it looked like the skeleton of some huge animal!”

“Animal skeletons? What are they looking for that thing for?” Turning to look at Tony and Steve, Carol said, “What should we do? Should we move out now and catch them all in one fell swoop?”

As soon as Carol finished speaking, Barton over there immediately said, “The Hand members are very cunning. Before carrying out a mission, their people will scatter in the streets and alleys around the target location and will not gather until they are dispatched.

So if we move out in a large scale, we will inevitably be discovered by them. It will be meaningless to capture five or six Hand members at most, let alone Elektra.”

“So what should we do? Barton, what do you suggest?”

Looking at Tony, Barton spoke directly, “My suggestion is to select one or two people to secretly infiltrate Hell’s Kitchen and wait until the time is right to move out together. This is the only way to catch them all in one fell swoop.”
