Chapter 25: The Tesseract's Echoes and a Culinary Quest

The world had settled into a fragile peace after the Asgardian drama. S.H.I.E.L.D. was back to its usual shadowy business, now with a shiny new toy: the Tesseract. Dr. Selvig and his team were poking and prodding it at the Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility. Adam, back in Queens, was keeping a peripheral eye on the news. "The cosmic cube. The ultimate MacGuffin. And the harbinger of a very angry, very familiar trickster god. Fun times ahead."

But for now, life was good. Peaceful. And delicious. Aunt May had decided to embark on a "culinary quest" to master the notoriously difficult art of the soufflé. Adam, ever the supportive (and secretly manipulative) partner, was all for it.

"It's all about precision, Adam," May explained, meticulously separating egg whites. "One wrong move, and it collapses."

"Sounds a lot like… cosmic reality, actually," Adam muttered, then quickly added, "But with more butter."

Their first attempt was… a disaster. A deflated, eggy pancake. Their second, a burnt, eggy pancake. Their third was looking promising, but they were missing a crucial ingredient.

"Oh, no!" May exclaimed. "I'm out of saffron! And the good kind is so hard to find around here."

"Not for long, May. Not for long."

[WISH GRANTED: OBSCURE SAFFRON VARIETY DISCOVERED AT CORNER GROCER. COST: 10 WISH DAYS.]

He subtly nudged her towards the corner grocery store, where, to her utter astonishment, she found a small, perfectly stocked jar of the exact saffron she needed. "Adam! It's a miracle! I told you this recipe was blessed!"

Adam just smiled. "Blessed by a System that hates culinary frustration."

Their next attempt was going well, until Adam, distracted by a news report about "unusual energy readings" from New Mexico (the Tesseract, no doubt), almost dropped a hot pot of simmering sauce directly onto May's foot.

[DANGER DETECTED FOR HOST! INITIATING RANDOMIZED LIFE-SAVING PROTOCOL.]

Before the hot pot could make contact, a sudden, inexplicable gust of wind swept through the kitchen, gently redirecting the pot. It landed with a soft clunk directly into the sink, splashing a tiny bit of sauce onto Adam's cheek, but leaving May completely unharmed.

[HOST SAVED! CURRENT STATUS: SLIGHTLY SPLASHED BY OIL, BUT THE HOT POT LANDED GRACEFULLY INTO SINK. COST: 20 WISH DAYS.]

Adam wiped his cheek. "Well, that was… graceful. For a near-catastrophe."

Finally, their soufflé emerged from the oven. Golden, fluffy, and perfectly risen. May gasped, delighted. "It's perfect! We did it, Adam!"

"We certainly did, May," Adam said, taking a bite. "And it only cost us a few wish days and a near-miss with a hot pot. Bargain."

He checked his wish bank. Healthy. The Tesseract was humming, Loki was plotting, and the Avengers were about to get a very rude awakening. But for now, there was soufflé. And that, Adam decided, was a wish granted in itself.
