The farce on the balcony slowly drew to a close.
Tony ultimately couldn't escape the fate of being force-fed alcohol.
He was dragged by Thor into an unforgettable Asgardian-style friendly exchange.
Finally, he slumped on the sofa, muttering the design parameters for an anti-Sun god armor, but not because he was drunk, rather because he couldn't drink any more.
Thor had already let himself go, and despite Tony being drunk, he continued to drink alone.
Leon shook his head, no longer paying attention to these people.
He felt that the current situation had achieved the desired effect, and staying here longer would only waste his time in the Sun.
He needed to give everyone some space to digest, to understand, and to grow on the path he had laid out.
He slowly walked to the edge of the balcony, the New York night breeze stirring the hem of his clothes.
"Stark," he said, his voice calm.
"I need a place to live, preferably near the sea and with plenty of Sun. Send me the keys and the address."
This was not a discussion at all, but an order.
Tony felt like he had become an efficient real estate agent, but he didn't refute anything.
Leon was very satisfied with Tony's perceptiveness. He nodded, his gaze turning to Thor.
"Thor," he said, his tone flat.
"Take Jane and the Professor to Asgard, fulfill your promise. I've already spoken to Father King, and He is very much looking forward to meeting a wise man."
Thor looked up, a little surprised.
Leon had actually arranged everything for him so quickly?
He knew Father King Odin's majesty best; without Leon's approval, he would never have been able to bring Jane back to the Golden Palace.
With this thought, Thor gave Leon a grateful look.
"Alright."
Leon clapped his hands, feeling a bit bored.
"Tonight's party ends here. Good night, everyone."
After speaking, he prepared to turn and leave.
"Wait!"
A female voice suddenly rang out, calling out to Leon.
Everyone froze, looking in the direction of the sound.
They saw Darcy holding her cocktail, looking at Leon with an excited expression.
"Um, Your Highness Sun god?" she asked, plucking up her courage, her eyes sparkling.
"Your new home is so big, do you need a... uh, part-time housekeeper? I can do anything! Really! Laundry, cooking, feeding pets... I can even tell jokes!"
Everyone:???
Jane felt her heart almost jump out of her chest, wishing she could immediately find a hole to crawl into and pretend she didn't know this embarrassing person.
Damn it, we're sisters, why did you make your move first?!
Leon also stopped.
He turned around, his eyes studying her in the night, his face showing no emotion.
Just as Darcy thought she was about to be 'cleaned up' like Nick Fury, Leon chuckled softly.
"Alright."
He said indifferently.
"Let's go."
Darcy's face lit up, and she quickly ran to Leon's side.
Leon glanced at everyone, then he took Darcy and transformed into a streak of golden light, soaring into the sky and instantly disappearing into the New York night.
The next day
Thor, Jane Foster, and Erik embarked on their journey to Asgard through a space portal Leon casually opened.
In Leon's words, it was to go to the Divine Realm for a honeymoon and, incidentally, let Earth's physicists witness what true black technology was like... A few days later.
New York.
A certain Villa.
The morning Sun gently spilled onto the master bedroom's large bed.
Leon was shirtless, his muscular upper body glowing with a golden aura in the Sun.
He leaned lazily against the headboard, his hands clasped behind his head, his eyes gazing at the Sun in the sky.
Darcy was curled up in his arms, still asleep.
Her cheeks carried a blush of contentment.
The events of the past few days felt like a bizarre dream to her.
From the New Mexico desert, to the divine battle at the top of New York, and now waking up in the arms of an Asgardian Prince...
She felt that her past two decades of life hadn't been as exciting as these few days.
Leon looked down at the girl in his arms, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Humans are like this: fragile, short-lived, yet full of various emotions.
Darcy's enthusiasm, gluttony, and occasional silliness were, for him, like novel seasonings in a long life.
He didn't love her; gods don't easily fall in love, it's too cheap.
But he enjoyed the feeling of being with her, a relaxed, uninhibited atmosphere.
How to put it, this feeling brought him joy on Earth.
Isn't that right?
He gently withdrew his hand, carefully getting up, not wanting to disturb the girl's sweet dream.
Leon walked barefoot to the balcony, where the California Sun warmly embraced him.
He spread his arms, closed his eyes, and felt every cell constantly growing stronger.
This feeling was like returning to his mother's embrace, warm and fulfilling.
This was due to the continuous increase in divine power.
"Hmm..."
A lazy groan came from behind him. Darcy rubbed her eyes and sat up, the silky bedsheet slipping from her smooth shoulders.
She looked at the back bathed in the Sun on the balcony, the perfect muscular lines of the other person, his posture seemingly integrated with the Sun, causing her to lose herself for a moment.
This man truly did not belong to this World.
She climbed out of bed, casually grabbing one of Leon's White shirts and putting it on; the wide hem of the shirt just covered her thighs, giving her a unique allure.
She walked barefoot to the balcony and gently hugged Leon from behind.
"Good morning, my Your Highness Sun god?" She pressed her cheek against his broad back, her voice husky from sleep.
"Morning." Leon didn't turn around, but clasped her hand with his free hand.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Couldn't have slept better." Darcy laughed.
"I'm just a little worried I'm still dreaming."
"You can pinch yourself," Leon teased.
"I'd rather pinch you," Darcy said, her fingers mischievously tracing his abs.
Leon chuckled, turned around, pulled her into his embrace, and leaned down to kiss her forehead.
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
"Cheeseburger, double patty, and extra pickles and lots of sauce," Darcy ordered without hesitation.
"And then?"
"And then a strawberry milkshake, the same as yesterday."
Leon looked at her sparkling eyes and shook his head helplessly.
He snapped his fingers.
"Jarvis, did you hear that? Deliver it to the poolside."
"Order placed for you, Mr. Leon," Jarvis's voice came from the Villa's sound system.
Darcy cheered, stood on her tiptoes to kiss Leon's cheek, then ran towards the pool.
