"Oh, my God, I can't believe something so terrifying happened in the world..."

"...The Avengers have saved us once again, but we've lost our Iron Man forever, Tony Stark!"

"...The new member of the Avengers calls himself 'Superman.' It's rumored that during this rescue operation, it was Superman who helped the Avengers save the world! Unfortunately, Superman is unwilling to accept any interviews..."

Inside the Avengers' base, the large screen displayed news from around the world.

It had been six days since the end of the zombie crisis, and the world had gradually begun to return to normal.

At the very least, the basic operations at the ground level were functioning without much issue.

Of course, this was largely thanks to Captain Marvel, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and the help they received from their alien friends.

However, when it came to alien friends, Roger had just learned from the Guardians of the Galaxy that Xandar, the planet he had planned to seek aid from, had been annihilated by Thanos.

Xandar had been harboring the Power Stone, so before the zombie crisis even began, Thanos had destroyed it.

Roger had just found out about this, having assumed that Xandar still existed.

There were two reasons for this assumption: first, the original Avengers storyline didn't delve much into Xandar's fate; second, in the What If...? series, there was a scene of Ultron annihilating Xandar when he obtained the Infinity Stones after killing Thanos.

So, Roger had subconsciously believed that Xandar still existed in the zombie universe.

But regardless of what had happened, that was now in the past.

Whether Xandar existed or not, Earth had returned to its normal state, and the zombie virus had been eradicated from the universe at its root by the Infinity Stones.

"Oh... there you are."

Roger, still dressed in his black Superman suit, was sitting on a sofa in the base when he suddenly heard Ant-Man Scott's voice.

He turned his head to see Scott, now modified into a mechanical body, clumsily walking toward him and saying, "Everyone's looking for you to start the meeting. I figured I'd familiarize myself with my new body, so I came to find you... What do you think of my new body?"

Scott's body had been modified into a cybernetic form similar to Nebula's, a process that took a full five days and was completed just yesterday when he awoke from the operating table.

Scott was quite fond of his new body, as it allowed him to use Pym Particles without wearing his suit, among other capabilities.

The only downside was that, for the time being, his body didn't support any romantic activities with Hope.

Roger looked at Scott's new mechanical body, turned off the television, and replied, "I'll be there soon. By the way, Scott, would you like to hear a suggestion?"

"What suggestion?"

"Now that you're like this, why don't you stop calling yourself Ant-Man and go with 'Cyborg' instead? It suits you."

Roger joked as he patted Scott on the shoulder.

Scott seriously considered it, saying, "Cyborg... Cyborg... A body made of steel bones? It seems... fitting? I didn't know you had a knack for naming..."
